You are the total epitome of you reap what you sow. Its beautiful Catherine you make so much of your little garden and work so hard. I've enjoyed your journeys with you x

[@DaintyDiaries]

🥰🙏🏼 thank you x

[@lissajacob9244]

So much hard work but every single thing you do is so worth it! What a beautiful, tranquil space to sit and have a cup of tea. I love that you have so many different "areas" including a pond, shade garden, veggies/fruit, firepit, greenhouse, and sun-loving plants ALL within a smaller fenced yard! Just wow! With all of that said, my favorite part is your consideration for the hedgehogs, insects and, of course, Blondie

[@DaintyDiaries]

Your so kind 🥰 thank you x

[@pamelabenne547]

Love this video solar lighting in that back corner where the pond and hedgehog lives would be awesome

[@alexisb.8965]

Your home and garden have changed so much since I started following you! ❤️ Well done!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Alexis 🥰

[@llmobile9356]

You've created a beautiful oasis, with a little bit of everything. It looks so nice! Blondie has such a personality! I think she loves her garden!

[@gordonbrowne8068]

Message from Sharon. You are doing an amazing job. Hard work has it's rewards! Keep up the good work!

[@debiallen4053]

At 67 y.o. in u.s.a. northern lower mich. Been gardening all my life, sewing, crafting, woodworking, you name it I do it. I found this video my fav so far. Your little garden turned out so beautiful. You made lovely use of every inch. Loved this video so much, so relaxing and inspiring. I feel our gardens are good for our soul. Love your sewing ideas also. I'll be watching. Love so much seeing the younger generation interested in nature in every way. You are just so adoreable. Great video, thank you!

[@dianewalker9783]

It's amazing how much difference just a year makes, your garden is looking so gorgeous! It's honestly all thanks to you for giving me the belief that I could do it, that started me off on my gardening journey...and well, now I'm a little bit addicted 😄 It has become the most therapuetic thing for me, I now have flowers and an abundance of wildlife that visit. I enjoy it all so much, so, thank you! xx

[@DaintyDiaries]

That is so kind of you Diane x

[@debbyrickett3195]

Diane, I agree with you! I have always enjoyed gardening but Catherine has inspired me to kick it up a notch. ...lol it is addictive 💚

[@Jo.H.]

Your garden is lovely Catherine, so pretty. Well done 💖😊

[@marionandrews176]

This was so nice to see the transformation at once. You’ll have to do this annually.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes! And i can’t wait to see how it changes for autumn 🍂

[@pixiegirl33]

All of your hard work has really paid off. Your garden is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure your local wildlife and bee community think so too. Maybe they'll spread the word and you'll soon have some busy ladybugs. Loads of love to you and Blondie.💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awwww thank you x

[@corinnerees1135]

My favourite Sunday evening viewing 🙂

[@marriannewand1349]

You have just brighten up my day. 🥀🥀🌼🌼

[@mwillis7791]

I forgot how it looked before! Such a big change. Thank you for sharing this!

[@kreh1100]

I love the hole you put in your door for the animals. Soooo cute!!!

[@debbyrickett3195]

Catherine, Thank you so much for sharing your garden journey with us! It is amazing (and truly inspiring) to see what you have done in such a short time. I love that you have "untidy borders and weeds" because that is the reality of life. Your garden is a reflection of your hard work and love of nature. You have created a beautiful garden area. I love it. Well done!!

[@drhappyplants]

I got a new home, downsized last August. Had to start a neglected yard from the 1950's from scratch. You've been one of my favorite channels, Laura, Monty and PlantQueen too. My yard has come such a long way in one season and you've been a big part of the inspiration! Thank you for all you do!

[@peggynorton5535]

I love watching your channel. From the sprucing up inside to designing your outdoor space. You do an amazing job!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Peggy 🥰

[@susanmcdonald5960]

Nothing better than sitting back with a cup of tea or coffee in the early morning with the birds singing and enjoying the beauty of the garden!....Blondie definitely loves your garden!....everyone should try gardening... it really is just making sure your plants will grow in the right zone and adequate light or shade and watering and fertilizing properly.

[@kimjensen1217]

I love what you've done and am especially glad that you share the work that went into it! When you're just starting to plan a garden and then start planting, it looks bare and you wonder if it'll ever look good & you're proof that it does! I'm impressed you're so young, single and own your own place! Keep up the good work :)

[@ellenmorrell8332]

I’ve saved every episode for me and my Daughter Robin. She loves you too!🥰😘❤️😊🐣

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awww thanks Ellen, Robin is such a pretty name x

[@lindaphillips7936]

So cool to see from the beginning until now. Looking great

[@frances7099-i6u]

Love watching your videos 💜 always cheers me up thank you 😊💜💐

[@tonileigh8660]

As always you are such an inspiration. Whether it's in the garden or in the house, I get inspired by you. Your garden is so beautiful. I agree with your idea of doing your garden how you want and not what others say. I had bulbs start blooming this week that I had almost given up on. 24 gladiola bulbs in pastel colors. Every couple days a new one blooms and I'm surprised by what color it turns out to be So far, peach, white, pink and lavender. I split my bearded iris last autumn and they went crazy this year. My veggie garden suffering a lot from a family of groundhogs that are eating them all. Everyone keeps saying to shoot or poison them and I'm just NOT going to do that. I'd rather share this year and put in better fencing next year.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

You’ve created a little enchanted garden. So pretty.

[@tiinathelightwhisperer]

Your beautiful home garden beams love and coziness - something that so-called sterile gardens hardly ever have. ❤

[@patkee8517]

What a transformation, so lovely. Being Irish never got the green thumb for gardening so I admire people who can.

[@johndauria-v8b]

Each and every one of your videos is a joy to watch. You keep saying that your plants are happy - they are just reflecting your own personality. It’s going to be a treat to see how your garden evolves in the coming years. An inspiration!!!

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Your garden is looking beautiful. You have done so much! I agree about the mulch. It has made such a difference in our borders. I love gardening, and keep at it even though as I age,and with arthritis it hurts...but flowers and veg are so worth it! I need to get out there and water.

[@catherinecorn2371]

From one Catherine to another. 💜 Love your videos and your realness. Not how TO garden, but how I garden.... True words! 😂 Your garden is precious! My chickens eat all my flowers. 😏

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thanks Catherine x

[@andreasharp2135]

I love your enthusiasm for gardening. I am not a gardener at all but I like watching your videos x

[@ryn1775]

AND in the middle of all your gardening, you had your book published!!!! You are truly an inspiration to me. I find myself following in your tidying up activities in my own little space after watching each of your Sunday videos. Thank you so much for sharing your life and thoughts with us. What goes around, comes around. Ciao Bella, Ryn

[@DaintyDiaries]

Wow, thank you! xxx

[@julie_uk_]

it was lovely looking back. Your videos have been a great resource and it's nice to share the journey.

[@NoraBadry]

Thank you so much for sharing this progression video of your garden, and your honest tips at the end. This was so encouraging. Being a newbie gardener and a perfectionist, I was feeling so overwhelmed. But hearing your reminder to take it easy, things can still be moved about, plant it in and see how it does, this all just gave me a chance to breathe. You have beautiful garden, and an enven more beautiful soul 💝

[@kimhill545]

I loved watching your progress from start through the journey to the present! Gardening is such hard work but a rewarding one for sure! Especially when you get to sit in your resting area and just enjoy the beauty. I adore your hedgehog hole in your garden gate and I admire your willingness to just jump in and have a go at creating such a beautiful space!

[@BobbySocks-j9z]

Your garden is beautiful, Catherine.🌻🌼🌸☘️

[@Laura-rx9mp]

It was a joy to see this video from the beginning of your garden. Great work!!! Cheers

You are totally amazing and I’ve been gardening for 70yrs.

[@artmakerforever3510]

Oh boy oh boy! Guess what arrived yesterday? I spent a dreary, rainy day going through your wonderful book! I love the details and the photo of Pepsi, that little cutie! Never forgotten. And Blondie posing, what gorgeous portraits. You did an excellent job girl! Bravo! And thanks for the little gold signature. Be proud, I know your dad is! 💝

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awwwwww I am so happy it arrived and you enjoyed it! X

[@artmakerforever3510]

@@DaintyDiaries I sure did! I'm going to keep going thru it, just because. 😁 I love the calm color scheme all through the book, just beautiful. I hope you are planning on a second! 💝

[@Carol-oc7mx]

Gardening is all about the journey Twists and turns, ups and downs and there are never gardening disasters when a plant dies only new planting opportunities 🙂👍

[@elainemcgran8828]

I was out with the hose every second evening watering plants and grass, for the first time in years my grass stayed lovely and green. so watering the grass works

[@laltman5005]

What a great video! Watching the journey is a total treat, so glad you shared this. I need to get out in the front garden to finish the brick border but the 95°+ F (35°C) have done me in. It will wait. Thanks for another great video.🐝🐞🌻

Hello from California, zone 10B. It's been awhile since I watched your videos. Your garden looks so beautiful. The hedgehog passthrough is adorable. After finishing up some unplanned garden repairs, I came inside, poured a cup of coffee and sat down to relax. Your video and soothing voice were perfect to unwind.

[@donnamullins2089]

A lot of work for this beautiful yard. Love your passion for plants and blooming flowers. I knew you would cut the grass. lol Didn't let us see your handsome brothers. They really did a lot of work with pond and the area in front of the greenhouse. Thanks for showing garden transformation. A love of all outdoors.

What a lovely garden and I have so enjoyed the journey you have taken us on. Thank you.

"This is my garden up until this point", "We live and we learn". I have enjoyed every single one of your videos and love to see your garden from start to where it is currently.

Catherine, for me, watching your videos is like sitting outside in the garden and drinking tea! (But without the effort.😅) I love seeing the summer sunshine as we are in our winter but thankfully we do not get snow where I live.
