🍂 Autumn Cottage Garden Clean-Up | Satisfying Before & After Makeover + Spring Bulbs Unboxing 🌷

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

2024 has been a hard one for us, too. I appreciate the peace my garden brings, and I appreciate you continuing to make content that is both restful and hopeful. It’s odd, but knowing others are going through tough times and keeping their chins up and carry on is comforting. May 2025 be a better one for us all.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you for sharing that. It’s comforting to know we’re not alone in tough times. I’m really glad the videos bring a bit of peace and hope. Here’s to better days ahead for all of us in 2025. Take care.

The edge on the grass looks great. I think the neighbors cat likes your garden best. Your black cat just sitting in the compost was so funny. You never know what cats will do.

[@MargaretErbe-t7s]

Compost is warm. It is just like sitting over a warm car bonnet. Cats are creatures of comfort.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you! Haha, yes, cats definitely have their own ideas about what’s comfortable! I’m glad you enjoyed that moment-mine always seem to find the oddest spots to settle. 😊

Your garden is beautiful. The peaceful space and fresh air help you relax and heal. Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments with everyone.

Thank you! The garden is definitely a peaceful spot for me, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@christinabrooks5991]

I couldn't believe how many of your plants were up and running and looking so pretty. I cut all my plants back 2 weeks ago! Edging your lawn was a stroke of genius. X

[@susanjackson6228]

Hi Catherine, Your gardening videos are so sweet and calming. You’re so lucky to have such a long growing season. Winters in Canada can be long and harsh. Bulbs seem to flower for a week once the growing season starts and plants in the garden have to be hardy to withstand drought, torrential downpours and extreme heat. Weeds here have adapted to the conditions are often the best growers in the garden. Thank you for sharing your “little bit of heaven”.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I can only imagine how challenging gardening must be in such tough conditions. It sounds like your plants (and even the weeds!) have to be real survivors. I’m glad I can share a bit of my garden with you, and I hope it brings some warmth during those long winters. Take care!

[@heidibear44]

Love the edges! Also well done for planning your spring bulbs. It's not easy to think so far ahead when life gets overwhelming. Sending love and more sunshine from South Africa 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you! I agree, it can be tricky to plan ahead sometimes, but I’m excited to see how it all turns out. Sending love and sunshine ( well, mostly rain here ) back your way from across the globe! 😊🌞

[@MartinHouseFlowers]

I've spent 2 days planting bulbs in the past week after our first frost arrived. I ordered Tulips - Double Late Finolas, Darwin Hybrid Pink & Berry Blush (purples); Mix of Daffodils & Muscari. I bought in bulk so I still have lots to plant in the ground and in containers! I hear you about anticipating feeling blue in cold winter days ahead! I started canning for the first time, made salsa verde and tomato sauce from the last harvest of tomatoes. You've handled your difficult year with grace and positivity. Simply sharing your experiences has been comforting to so many and therapeutic for yourself I'm sure. You're adorable and an inspiration! 💚👩🏻‍🌾

[@sandra-bb5xq]

I find it very therapeutic to watch you sweep up as you’re so good at it 🤗. Doing the edging made a huge difference. Thanks for sharing 😊💐

Last year I went crazy planting my bulbs! I put them everywhere. This past spring was like a blooming surprise! I had forgotten some of the places but lo and behold, there would be those happy little blooms poking up! Can’t wait to see yours! I bought one of those edging tools a couple of years ago and it is the bomb! Thank you for sharing your blissfully beautiful garden/kitty life with us all. In a world that’s full of unpredictable times it’s heartwarming to smile watching you plan and dream about your little space!😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you for the lovely comment! That sounds amazing - I love the idea of surprise blooms popping up everywhere! I’m looking forward to seeing how mine turn out too. And yes, the edging tool really makes the job easier! I’m glad you enjoy the garden and kitty content - it’s great to know it brings a bit of joy. 😊

[@ead9726]

We were out in our garden today, it’s big 😳 but the leaves 🫢the council have trees over the back from us in the cemetery and of course we get their leaves, and with storm Ashley over the weekend the front garden is covered! I was out with the secateurs, cutting back ferns that had self seeded, in a shady part, All the bulbs are in bar a few in the hut, we need to remember those 🤭 and get them planted. It does us all good to spend some time in the garden, even if it is just seeping up.

[@leedarcy]

The edging looks beautiful! I didn't order any new bulbs but I bought some on impulse at a local discount store. I bought a mix of jumbo pink and jumbo purple for a hill in the backyard. Bought a massive bag of "apricot impression" tulips that were just gorgeous...had no idea where I was going to put them! Ended up putting them in a small bed near our front porch, hopefully the squirrels don't find them!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you! Those bulbs sound stunning-especially the apricot tulips! I love an impulse buy when it comes to gardening. Fingers crossed the squirrels leave them alone, and I’m sure they’ll look beautiful near your porch. 😊

It is such a treat to see what you get up to . Fall is in full force here in Canada. All that’s left to do is mulch all the fallen leaves until we have to start shovelling snow. At least we can live vicariously through you and your lovely corner of the world ! Have a wonderful week Catherine.

[@kajalsingh9554]

Last year, I really meant to clean the front and back yards in fall before winter set in. However, I never got to it due to health issues and everything looked horrible and neglected. This year, I made a promise to myself that I would not neglect my yards. However, I knew somewhere in my head that I would not be able to do anything so yesterday I made a snap decision to call a landscaping company to do the job. Best decision I made. Two guys came, and within two hours they had cleaned both yards and did a superb job. Sometimes, spending a little money can give you so much peace of mind. Your yard looks lovely in this weather. Love the hellebores, and cyclamen.

[@oceanbrzzz]

Catherine, I need bulbs…I’ll go to the store today, you have motivated me. The long, narrow garden bed my 3 granddaughters made for me has lots of empty space! You have motivated me. - Marcia from MN

Those sunny autumn days are some of my favourites. As I'm watching this the wind is howling and the rain is battering the windows so thank you for that sunny day. Now Catherine, I garden vicariously through you. Neither of us can pronounce half the plant names and I always end up in fits of laughter at our attempts. But, the fact is, we do need tulips, so I vote for another bulb order. Go on girl, you know it makes sense 😊

[@erinjohnson1454]

Hi Catherine! 🌷💐🌼 I told myself no bulbs this year … that was until the Colorblends catalog arrived. 1,500 bulbs later…. I got them all planted in one day thanks to my power planter auger. Spanish bluebells, Bakeri Lilac Wonder Tulips, Purple Sensation Allium, Glory of the Snow, Gold Shoulder Daffodils, Muscari, Oriental Beauty Dutch Iris and Cheerfulness Daffodils 😅. I have been planting 500-1000 bulbs every fall for a few years with some success getting them to come back the following year and start to naturalize. Your raised beds inspired me to plant 2 of my own raised beds full of tulips (with the intent of using for cutting bouquets- ha, never happened! They were too pretty all together to cut). Thank you for sharing little glimpses into your picturesque Irish cottage garden. Ireland is a bucket list destination for me one day 💚 Love and happy planting from Erin in Minnesota!

[@wildwolf2567]

Hello Catherine. Another nice video. The lawn does look good after edging it. Your puss cats really enjoy the garden. They are so lovely. I enjoy a good plant catalogue. Trouble is I want them all. Ha ha. It was a sunny day to get into the garden you picked the right day. Thank you Catherine.

Edging can definitely feel like a daunting task at first, but it really does make such a difference once you get going. It’s great to hear you find it satisfying!

I planted tulip bulbs years ago and the squirrels would dig them up and eat them. So I gave up on bulb flowers. However, the bunches of purple irises that were planted by the previous owner, come up every year and thrill my soul!

[@DaintyDiaries]

It’s tough dealing with squirrels! I totally understand why you’d give up on bulbs. But it’s wonderful that you have those purple irises to enjoy every year! They must bring such joy and beauty to your garden. Nature has a way of surprising us with what it gifts us, even when we face challenges. 🌸

[@irisstormo6913]

We live in an area that has loads of wild daffodils that start coming up in early February. Last year we went to an area where very few people live and we dug up a couple hundred bulbs. Planting them took a while but come spring I know it will be so pretty. We have two acres and will have a lovely surprise when it is still too cold to enjoy being outdoors for long. Enjoy your bulbs they are God's little surprise packages. 🌲🌺🌲

[@DaintyDiaries]

That sounds incredible! I can just imagine how beautiful your two acres will look in the spring with all those daffodils blooming. Planting them must have been quite a job, but what a reward it’ll be! I completely agree-bulbs really are like little surprise packages waiting to brighten up the garden. 😊🌼

Just planted my garlic for the season…my tulips and daffodils will be in the few weeks.

From America, in our area we will see crocus in Feb-March and Daffodils in March, Tulips in April. But first one MUST plant bulbs to see spring flowers!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Absolutely! Planting bulbs is the first step to enjoying those beautiful spring blooms. It’s exciting to think about the crocus, daffodils, and tulips brightening up the garden after winter. Each one brings a lovely touch of color and joy! Happy planting! 🌷🌼

I can’t wait to see how they all look next spring. I love how much your garden has “grown” over the years. Sending you good fall vibes from the US. 🧡🍂

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you! I’m excited to see how everything blooms next spring as well. It’s been a journey watching the garden evolve over the years! Sending you warm fall vibes right back-hope you’re enjoying the beautiful season! 🧡🍂

I love your pronunciation attempts - you made me laugh out loud! I do enjoy your love of plants and gardening. Great job with the edging. You’re a tonic!

[@ameliaschartel2863]

We planted small blubs in the front lawn, frittilery, snow drops, crocus, etc. And I just got the last of the daffodils planted yesterday. I'm doing away with tulips because they don't last and squirls dig them up unless I put them in pots in my garage during the winter here is the north east of America. Your edging looks fantastic and I really need to so that at my house

My father was big into edging the lawn. It❤ always looked perfect. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@Toinette2883]

Those Angelique tulips are beautiful I had them for a few years then they never came back. It was so worth it though they looked like roses

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

The edging looks great, what a difference! I’ve brought some crocus this year and planted them in the lawn also our council are giving away trees for residents, I’ve ordered a Hazel. A lovely peaceful video ty Catherine x
