Gardening at 58 North is a Youtube gardening channel which focuses on house plants and gardening. The channel contains a series of horticultural videos, some are instructional and informative, whilst others are video diaries of how my plants are doing over the year. Please have a look through my videos, if you have any questions, leave a comment and I will try to answer your questions.
My outdoor videos are filmed in North Scotland between Inverness and Elgin, the USDA of my garden is around 8 and the USDA of my parents coastal garden is around 9. However as we are only 640 miles from the arctic circle, the summers are very cool with an average daily maximum temperature of 18C (65F) in July and grass frosts are possible any month of the year. Although July and August are nearly always frost free.
If you enjoy my videos or want to keep up to date with my new videos please subscribe.

The answer to last week's Monday mystery macro is a Calendula flower (calendula officinalis) My parents have grown these in their vegetable plot for many years now, although a short lived perennial, they are often killed by hard frosts and are easily grown as annuals. We let them self seed around the vegetable plot as they flower from spring right through to autumn and the bees love them.
Well done to all those who guessed correctly this week, it was a difficult one.
I'll post this weeks Monday mystery macro later today

I will be taking a break from uploading videos for a few weeks. I currently have lot going on with projects at my other job, maintaining my own garden and decorating my son's bedroom. Here are some photos that I have taken over the last few weeks, I was lucky enough to visit the west coast of Scotland for a day for my birthday where I visited Inverewe garden and also a few other beautiful areas of Scotland. The meconopsis flowers are from a garden that I work in where I have raised over 1,000 blue poppies many of which are now flowering. I hope to get back on track with my uploads in July.

The answer to last week's Monday mystery macro is a French marigold flower (Tagetes spatula) . Despite it's common name this plant originates from mexico. I usually grow a few of these plants each year as they produce flowers continuously throughout the summer. They are also good companion plants when growing vegetables as their strong smell can keep plant eating insects at bay

The answer to last week's Monday mystery macro is a Hydrangea flower (Hydrangea macrophylla). This plant need little introduction as it is commonly found in most gardens here in the Uk. As long as the soil remains damp and you are away from the coldest frosts this plant will produce an abundance if long lasting flowers each summer.
