Garden Haul! Spring Flower Pots, Plant & Seed Haul

[@cheryleteale4902]

Having bees visit the garden daily is one of the joys of having flowers in the garden!

[@jennynations7676]

"We celebrate living in my garden" and "I think people should go to hell for robbing someone's pots" - I got tickled. I laughed so hard. You are so sweet.

[@lilianamsoares]

Catherine I just love your energy. I live in an apartment/ flat, so I cannot have a garden but I would love to have a house with a garden like yours. You have a very beautiful and bright Heart and Soul. The world just needs a lot more people like you in it.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw you are so kind 🪴❤️

[@momof2momof2]

If you have windows you can "garden". If you have some kind of balcony or outdoor area you can garden.... in pots. There are many ways to garden even in the smallest of places :)

[@lilianamsoares]

@@momof2momof2 You are right, but unfortunately my apartment does not have balconies, the windows are wide but the house is North faced and with a full time job, two children, a husband, two cats and a 300 Lt aquarium is a bit too much for me. Nothing compares to the hands on the dirt and not caring for the mess planting can cause. Inside an apartment every mess I make is for me to clean.

[@momof2momof2]

@@lilianamsoares It's your choice what you want to do or don't want to do. Many years ago when I had my first apartment in northern New York, I had a little window garden. It was really just some seeds of a few different kinds planted in coffee cans . I had so much fun with it, and even in winter grew veggies

[@shanaproctor100]

I cracked up when you said someone would go to hell for robbing pots and plants. I love your sense of humor.

[@maryg9636]

I have a baby butcher bird who has "adopted me" sits on my verandah rail "yelling" till I come out and talk to him. Greetings from Australia.

[@rondalawson3311]

I would love to see the front garden!

[@JessaKnox]

Girl, I wish you could post a video every day! 😆 But I know you have a real job and a life. I love your channel! You're so sweet!

[@collady1]

Right now my house is being attacked by bumblebees and butterflies. My lilacs and wisteria are in bloom. Not only does it smell delicious when I go out the doors, but the beautiful color makes me very happy:

[@DaintyDiaries]

Wisteria is just beautiful! X

[@patriciagoodwin378]

Cathrine you’re as good as watching Monty Don so enjoyable 🌸🐝🌺

[@DaintyDiaries]

Now that’s a compliment! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@alexandriaodonoghue6930]

You have a shed in your backyard, ask your brother to help you get rid of the bugs and spiders in it and convert that to a greenhouse recycling saving the planet you are awesome thank you for your videos!

[@susanbuckley4153]

I’m the same way my friend.. I like to shop while it’s quiet.. not a bunch of screaming kids. Lol. I totally understand 🌷

[@alyshaelkin3050]

Just wanted you to know that my 9 year old daughter walked in while I was watching your video and she asked me if you’re a teenager.

[@janejohnson7120]

A Lady of so many talents - Gardening too. All your videos are so interesting and your funny comments are priceless. Take good care of yourself.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw, thank you Jane x

[@SHYsArt]

Catherine, I love your love of nature. We have deer, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, wrens, and so many more. We have a water fountain in the front yard and a bird bath, and bird feeders and hummingbird feeder in front and back yard. We have 5 acres and my dear sweet husband of 47 years is building me a green house! We too love nature and help as we can. Hugs, love Faux Grandma.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That sounds amazing oh my gosh!! 😍 Thanks so much for watching that's so sweet xx

[@patriciamoore3166]

The bees will love you and the butterflies and the birds...!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Patricia ❤️❤️❤️🪴

[@AndraDorolti]

I am crap at gardening and still watching this video cause I just love your videos! 😁

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awww thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@ryn1775]

This past week I followed your Just Do It work ethic and patch worked green indoor-outdoor mini-golf turf on my small south facing cement front porch and added more part-way down the cement driveway. Here in the Arizona Sonoran Desert, our day temps rise into the 90's F; summer is here. I also potted up some herbs: lavenders, thyme, Italian oregano, curly parsley, basil, chives, plus coreopsis and Mexican heather in green plastic pots. Very Cheerful! Our cooler mornings mean I get to spend time out there in the porch shade, sipping my coffee, watching the birds and grateful for the peace and serenity and green coolness. Before I lay the turf, this was an impossibility. Thank you for being you Catherine! You have a lovely motivating manner about you. Be well.

[@coralwebb4245]

I am making a green house out of old windows and I think you should do the same. Every girl needs a greenhouse 🐝🌼🍀🌺🌾💐

[@cookingwithelise]

I’m so crazy, for you, Catherine! “Keep the bees pleased...”

[@thelilacmum]

You and I are kindred spirits. I have 4 cats,tea running through my veins,and think going to the garden center as a holiday. Thanks for all your videos. They make my day. 🦋

[@karenhart4316]

Hi Cathrine , I have an elderly girl ( cat) she is so well trained she has never ever touched or been interested in my indoor plants so so lucky with that huh as I have soooooo many indoor plants that keep me happy 😊 love terracotta too and your cottage pots are beautiful , we have magpies and Robins too 🌱🦜🕊 😻 I also just planted sweet peas red ones 🌱thank you for your amazing videos love them your such a bright cheery young lady wonderful to have you share this thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺 🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺🙌

[@zoeemiko8149]

Dahlias take a long time to sprout but when they do it's so worth the wait.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Zoe! I will bear that in mind, it has been colder than usual, so I thought it might have effected the germination x

[@sjerzgrl]

I love the large ceramic pots! Always a joy to visit with! ❤️🦩

[@JessaKnox]

What?! An extra video?? Yay!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

I hope you enjoy ❤️❤️

[@donnaw1306]

I love to watch Garden Answer youtube channel. She is so good with explaining how to take care of things and different ideas. Even if I am not planning on doing anything it just gives me so much inspiration and makes me want to plant things. LOL By the way, I love your channel.

[@emmabryson3687]

I’m rubbish with plants, but you’re making me want to raid the garden centres 🤣

[@DaintyDiaries]

Love it Emma, I am still a bit rubbish with some plants, I just try to get better each year x

[@JaCaraKM]

I just spent so much money at the garden center today! Unlike most people, my enthusiasm for gardening has doubled since last year. I never knew how much fun it was to grow things and tend to the growth of vegetables and flowers. I’m so excited about all the pretty flowers and vegetables that are going to be growing in my garden this year. I have sown so many seedlings that I have to give some away. Anyway, love the pots you got and I look forward to seeing how your garden blooms.

[@rebecca375]

I just discovered your channel. Love Love Love your sense of humour and positive energy, you really make my day. Here in western Canada, I'm painting the garden shed in between windy weather and the occasional short snow flurry lol. We cut our grass this weekend to help promote growth(still brown/a bit of greenery). And right now I'm dreaming & planning the colours and the type of plants I'll be purchasing soon. Going to the garden centre is like a sacred ritual to me lol. I go as early as I can so it's not crowded and noisy and take my time drinking in all the colours and fragrance. It's my happy place. Please keep showing us the progress of your garden and your wonderful DIY's. Happy Gardening.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much Rebecca! 💕 Hopefully you can get planting soon!

[@carlamhaight]

You need to make a shirt or sign with your cricut that says "easily distracted by plants' 😄 I love ranunculus. I bought some ranunculus bulbs at Dollar Tree but they haven't sprouted yet. So, I found some ranunculus at a local big box store. They had a bit of frost.... so, I cut off the dead leaves and spent blooms and popped them in the ground. Their blooms are gorgeous. I got a deep red, gorgeous orange and a lemony yellow. They are doing so well. Ditto for blue anemone. My husband is color blind and can only see blue. So I created a blue zone in the garden. I already had a balloon flower and added 2 sea hollies, the blue anemone and an agapanthus. Then, yesterday, I found a lithodora, also on clearance. It is blue, low growing, also for the blue zone. I love when plants are hardy. I had two mums and one died back. I put the one in the ground and kept the stub of the other in the pot and , happy day, it's coming back!!!!! I feel so bad when something dies back. I almost killed a Christmas fern, but it is putting out new fronds. Now, I am trying to revive an autumn fern. I had bought them last year and didn't get them in the ground because I broke my elbow in November, but fingers crossed it will come back. My garden is coming along so well. My new motto is from Alexandra from the Middle Sized Garden youtube chanel. "Gardeners learn by Trowel and Error. Have fun growing. Cheers

[@artmakerforever3510]

It is so wonderful to meet people from all over the world here! 💝

[@cateb.l5343]

I agree completely, you cannot have enough plants :)

[@karencurtis2697]

My wish for the universe is a greenhouse for you , the joy I get from watching your enthusiasm for all things garden is brilliant and it's made my day. Looking for to your next garden centre shop 🤗. Stay safe stay well xxx please give the girls a fuss from me.

[@amethystchi7512]

Good morning Catherine! You have brought the sunshine here with your lovely nature and gorgeous garden! Sitting here with my tea and toasted fruit bread and just absorbing your energy for the day :) (ok, that makes me sound like a vampire.. but you get what I mean). My garden is sadly beyond help. I wrote last year that you inspire me to get out there, but as hard as I try, my garden is basically a no go. Something that is very sad for me as I love to sit out and look after the extended family (plants). And yes, also sadly, plant and pot nicking is a thing. When I moved here I had some lavender in pots near my front door in those lovely ceramic pots you have and within a week it was gone ( they would have had to access my property, walk up the path and along the ramp to get to my door) and also a lovely mini maple tree in an enormous ceramic pot (gift from my sister) went from my old home during the time I was moving. I went to collect it from my enclosed back garden and someone light fingered yoke had already helped themselves. People be nasty and that is one of the reasons why I love your channel. It makes me feel that there are still nice souls out there somewhere. Don't ever change :) x

[@DaintyDiaries]

oh noo I'm so sorry to hear that! People can be so awful :( You're so sweet for all the kind words ❤️

[@MCombs57]

You are such a highlight in my life! Your videos are so uplifting and you hit the nail on the head--we are all fatigued, worn out with this past year. Here in the States there is talk the 17 year locusts are coming so friends are telling me don’t spend money to plant anything...ugh...I want to see beautiful flowers! So, I guess I will just enjoy yours from afar...lol.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Locusts, oh no! Sorry to hear that, could you start some indoors, and then walnut them outside after they pass, I hop ether don't come x

[@leedarcy]

Yes, please please try to get a video of your birds! I've been birding here in the US for many years and can identify most common, local birds by their song. I'd love to see and hear what you have in Ireland! (I had a good laugh in your last video hearing European Starlings-- we have them here, too. Fun story: A group of people who wanted all birds mentioned in Shakespeare's work to be present on this side of the pond released Starlings in the late 1800s in NYC's Central Park.)

[@roxymcdonald6518]

Still binge-watching your videos to catch up. They should be sold in box set and organized by year!!! Stay safe across the pond!! We are on full lockdown here!!! 🇨🇦

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw stay safe! ❤️ thanks for stopping by xx

[@TheGrandLady]

You're like a next door neighbor I cherish. Thank you for sharing your passion for nature and DIY!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Wow, thank you Lindsay x

[@dlynch1898]

My friend was a great help in a big project I was doing. I noticed her pots on her front porch needed to have fresh plants. I swiped them and added fresh soil, plants and small garden flags. Of course she was happy that they were only gone over night. I with you I love plants. TFS from California 💕🐶💕🐶💕🙋‍♀️💐💐💐

[@cherylmonopoli2896]

Just came home from work, made a coffee, grabbed a hot cross bun and sat down to watch your video. Absolutely loved it! We're heading into winter here in Australia so watching your spring gardening is so lovely. Thank you. 😊

[@clairemcnally8549]

Would LOVE to see how you'd DIY a mini greenhouse! Dahlia seeds usually take a couple of weeks so I wouldn't be worried about them for a good while yet. Lithops (living stones) have absolutely incredible flowers - spectacular bright colours and surprisingly big but I've never tried growing them from seed so you've inspired me to give it a go. Your pots look lovely - might be an idea to top dress with some gravel-gives them a nice neat look, keeps in moisture and reduces weeds/makes them easier to weed. If you're dunking, gravel on top also stops the compost from drifting up and mucking up the leaves of your plant.

[@molliemae6855]

I live in NW Ohio and it’s best for our area to wait until Mother’s Day to plant our flowers (less chance of frost). I live in an apartment but have a balcony that I squeeze as many planted pots on as I can. I also have my mom’s old bakers rack she had outside on my balcony so I fill that up, too. A few weeks ago it was unseasonably warm here and I got my rack, outdoor rug, other decor and my pots out and set up in anticipation! I have lights strung around and three solar lanterns and the space just makes me so happy. I can’t wait to buy my flowers this year!!! Unfortunately I live on a very busy road and the traffic is crazy and loud so I usually don’t sit out there but I do stand at the door and look at it and it just makes me feel cozy, especially at night with the lights on. A few years ago my Dad had an entire truck bed full of pots that he had collected over the years at auctions that he was going to sell to his Amish friends but I got first dibs. There were so many nice ones...a couple huge, unique terracotta pots that I’ve never seen before. I took as many as I could for my little balcony but wished I could have taken more.

[@juceelucee2841]

I love those large pots...and I saw some here in the US like them. You just made up my mind, I will go get a couple this week. I am also a bird watcher and love them all year long. I only feed them in the winter when food is scarce. If you feed them in the summer you must always feed them in the winter, when they can't find food. They become dependent on you and will always come back to your yard. I also love hummingbirds and feed them too! I'm bird crazy since my dogs have all passed over. Just call me Granny...lol TFS!!! XX

[@lisawilliams3247]

I love your videos they are so up beat and happy 😃 I hope all your plants and flowers 💐 grow brilliantly x

[@scotsam7590]

Fab! Also, be sure not to leave water in any container because if a small garden animal, mouse, etc., gets in, they can't get out and will drown (and/or freeze). We always leave watering cans and tubs on their sides when not in use. Happy Gardening.

[@wendymcfarlane9068]

Your enthusuasim is totally charming pet!!! Without my wee garden I'd be lost. It's hit and miss, just try anything and have fun while you do it!I have just discovered you can grow trees just by taking a twig cutting and shoving it in the ground with certain plants. I'm planting a little shrubbery for the insects from cuttings grabbed from anywhere. I got 5 Buddleia bush cuttings, put them in the ground last October in an old veggie patch and they have rooted and grown well into flourishng shrubs. How about that. No cost whatsoever!!

[@jenkane8070]

The small white flowers in a bouquet could be babies breath. Loving all your purchases xxx

[@farmgirlwithheart3817]

Wonderful video, I love when you work in your garden. I'm in East Tennessee, USA & we are slowly getting our plant in the stores. Hubby is making me a swing for my front yard, which is where my outdoor happy place is. Tree's are blooming 💕

I'm trying morning glory, sweet peas and spearmint from seeds. I use old cardboard egg crates instead of buying jiffy pots. I will just repot the whole in a container. And I L😍VE garden centres 🌱

[@OliviaPalmSprings]

Catherine, you are so cute and inspiring. Going to clean my garden right after your video.

[@user-qz7ur9di7q]

Catherine , try giving your robins a handful of whole oats on the bird table. they love them .

[@DaintyDiaries]

Great idea Karen, I never thought of oats x

[@tinaspears6769]

Miss Catherine, you are such a breath of fresh air girl!!! You have lots of new goodies for your garden! I love love love your new colored flower pots! Super cute!!! I’m going to plant some seeds today. I’m doing a HUGE veggie garden & lots of container gardening. Anything I can grow, I do it! I’m tackling my big flower beds this spring. I’m making them fruit beds with all kinds of fresh fruit plants going in. I’ve got a new electric pressure cooker & a commercial dehydrator I’m ready to start using too. I see lots of things going in the pantry! I wonder if the mail service would let me send you some samples of goodies I make? 🤔🤔🤔 Have a wonderful week sweet lady!!! I’ll see you next week. ✌🏻💖🙏🏻

[@maggienogueira3992]

Love your channel! Totally agree... From Portugal and fatigued from all this situation we've been living in. But I tell you, you're making want to give my 'black thumb' another shoot. In the past, only succulents have survived... 😘

[@DaintyDiaries]

You can do it! I sometimes babe a black thumb too 😂

[@janetbyrne7765]

“...We reward living”...Catherine I just love you! I discovered that my 3 small terracotta pots in a wooden box, with petunias, dry out so much I have to water them every day and I’m thinking I’ll transfer them into larger pots with more potting soil so they don’t dry out. They look a little “puny

[@janetbyrne7765]

“ and I’ll have to reward the fact they are living!

[@martinhitch9116]

Yes to the zippy greenhouse! I was given several packets of seeds, plants and tomatoes, and planted some of them. I got to the pricking out and potting on stage, but not enough window sills to go around. Zippy to the rescue. At the moment it is indoors by the French doors because we are not past the risk of snow and frost. If you have a sheltered spot, go for it. Make sure the cover is secured. Mine has three tiers, holds about 12 seed trays. You could divide the saxifrage and get more plants x

[@melissahenry2567]

Plants are not a bad thing to have no control of. Lol. It’s so amazing to watch children with plants. Things they can care for and watch grow then be able to eat right off the plant! We had blackberry bushes when I was young. I was always excited waiting for the fruit every year and I passed that onto my son.

[@user-xp5qx8wg9x]

I know you can build your own frame and buy the clear greenhouse panels instead of glass to have a really nice greenhouse Catherine and you can teach your viewers at the same time. That's not out of the scope of your skill set. You just need to make a plan and time to do it. I look forward to watching you build a nice 6ft high x 8ft wide by 10ft deep greenhouse. You'll love the tomatoes!

[@lisacheezecheeze1002]

Dahlia seeds need warm temps to germinate- 68 to 70 F. Cling wrap over your tray will help. I just started mine. Best of luck!

[@marietranchant4311]

Hello Catherine, It is so exciting to see all your new pots and new pants ! Planting is such an enjoyable activity ! I seeded wild pansies in a big clay pot like yours and also some agastache for the bees. Not yet sure where I'm going to plant them. Some in a pot and others in the garden. I also seeded digitalis and I look forward to planting them in the garden ! That's one of my favorite flowers and bumblebees love them too ! Best regards from France

[@karenrickard8237]

Hi Catherine. Fab video (as always 👍). Been to the garden centre too. Same problem, go for one thing and end up with a boot load 🙄. The satisfaction of a lovely bright and flourishing garden that you can sit and relax in is wonderful. Even a window box if you live in a flat is uplifting. Happy gardening honey and look forward to a summer video with the fruits of all your labour xxx 🥰

[@ohwhatadiy]

[@lesleyharris525]

Hi,yes daulias take ages to get going, your garden is going to look beautiful again this year,

[@2009reinvention]

I love the beautiful life you live. Wish we were neighbors. Your flowers look very pretty. Bulbs are planted in the fall and are perennials. They bloom in the spring. Enjoy your tea. I'm having one myself.

[@tine442]

How often do you feed? Shouldn't we only feed birds in winter and hot summers, wenn little to eat is growing? 20:12 So sweet, it brightens my heart 😍 I like it how you love gardening and flowers so much, too. I love delphiniums in summer. We have so many in the garden every year, they growing next to and in flower beds (there is a little path between, so you walking in between them 😍), so beautiful and the bees love them. I seeded poppies years ago and they get more and more blossoms. So, we plant mostly vegetables and the flowers pop up every year by themselves. We have so many marigolds, too.

[@lilmorningglory]

This video is giving me inspiration. We always grow a garden. And of course flowers. We have lots of roses, lilacs, and lilies. But this year...I haven't done much. My Mom broke her arm last week. So I just haven't been outside a lot. Now I want to go dig in the dirt. And plant my seeds! 🌻

[@lynnwales2937]

This is BY FAR my favorite kind of haul :D

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yay, so glad you liked it Lynn x

[@judyshort38]

A couple of tricks I use to keep my indoor cats away from my indoor plants are to spray the foliage with some water mixed with lemon juice (cats don't like citrus) to keep them from chewing on them and to keep them from digging in the dirt, I put pebbles on top. Works for me.

[@mrsewokfunny]

You’ve inspired me to plant more flowers around my home. Can you do a video of how you get seeds from your plants?

[@beachessandfire5598]

Great video, I love gardening and we are definitely bee and butterfly friendly here . We have seven fruit trees , Montana clematis, wisteria and many bedding plants 🪴

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

💐 I'm so happy for you that you are so enthusiastic about your garden and your flowers. Please continue showing us how they come along

[@tinekejoldersma]

Dahlia's do take forever, hence the rhizome to buy. Much faster. I got loads in pot, winter in the shed, summer in the garden. Living stones bloom gorgeous flowers out of the middle between the stone. Stunning. But it will take time. Years. I have seeds, part directly into the garden, part in pots on the warm window ceil, the Lathyrus already sprouted, yay. Now for the weather :O. Your pots are a fourth of the price here, bit jealous XD They do shop for free in my country. My gorgeous hanging baskets were stolen out of my garden. They had to break the garden fence to do so. I don't hang or plant pots anymore in my garden at the street. My back garden is fenced high, to keep my cats in and the plant pot stealing people out. Now if it would stop snowing, showers of hail and deep freezing nights, a bit of sun would do us good.

[@helenmoore8743]

I just came in from planting seeds in my seed starter pots and I found you posted a video on plants, so I'm happily cleaning the dirt from under my fingernails while watching. I think my next purchase is garden gloves. I would love it if you kept us posted on your plantings. Happy gardening!

[@calicaister4675]

What a lovely surprise this extra video was . I'm not a gardener but your such a delight to watch you just cheer me up so thank you x

[@DaintyDiaries]

So nice of you, thank you Cali x

[@Primarniqueen]

Catherine, I got two plastic greenhouses from wilco, but tie them to something as they blow over. I have mine tied to potting table one side and drain pipe the other . I have lots of dahlias from seeds they didn't take long to germinate on windowsill but I put plastic over top (the clear plastic trays fruit and veg come in) once sprouted remove top. I potted mine up today as had so many and put them in the plastic mini greenhouses to harden off a bit .

[@amyjones2490]

You could reuse that bird seed container for a winter sowing mini greenhouse.

[@henriettalazo9243]

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm. You are a real inspiration. Have a swell time growing your plants.

[@loriannperry5302]

The Coles you have you called painted nettle. My grandma and I grew them in the house tons of colors and ours were about 4 feet in diameter. When they establish and there start sprouting flowers in the crooks of the leaves pinch them off. Then the plant gets fatter and bigger leaves and brighter colors. I will find a picture and send you a copy.

[@sheilaclark3463]

Great video......you’re so inspiring 😊. I started growing seeds on my windowsill in February (I thought I’d get ahead of the game!) but it was way to early. It’s still far to cold here in the North of Scotland - it’s like Ireland but colder 🥶. So I’ve bought one of these plastic 5 tier greenhouses in the hope that I’ll be able to keep them alive. Like you, I need all the help I can get from Mother Nature. Love your videos and vlogs.....they make me laugh, inspire me and inform me in equal measures. 🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

Hopefully your greenhouse does the trick! Thanks for stopping by this week ❤️❤️

[@annroberts3635]

Wow. What a haul. Love the flowers you pick for your garden. I have a lots of day lilies but I have never started them from seeds. I have so many and they drop their seeds every fall and reseed for the spring. I don’t know if they take a long time to germinate. My guess is that they do. Give them a little longer and you may fine they will poke their little heads up soon. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

[@Peanut1965]

Very pretty!!! We don’t plant till after May 20, we can have snow till even till end of May 😝lol. I’m going to use my moms old strainer and coal bucket with holes drilled in it to plant flowers😃

[@a1bestrentals]

I love listening to you talk. You enjoy your life so much! I love your Ranunculas!

[@patricek.466]

Birdfeeders have to come down here as the black bears are waking up hungry- and they love bird seed! How about doing a cold frame? It is a little easier, you can use one or two old windows.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yea, A cold frame is a good idea, I do have a dream of how I want my back garden to look, a wide shed, with some raised beds in front x

[@linaanderson2622]

I so enjoyed that wee extra video your so enthusiastic. Thentray that has germinate is the dahlias ,delphiniums take longer even up to 4 weeks .don't water them to much if the tray looks dry spray with water .can I also say ,when you put things in pots you should leave a good inch between the top of the soil and the top of the pot to allow for watering or the soil will just washnovervthe edge and make a mess xx

Love this haul Catherine, and I am now so inspired to get out in the garden this coming week (if the weather picks up 😆) My grandfather was a fantastic gardener and actually had his bay trees stolen from his garden- some guys came at night and dug them up! A tip to age fresh terracotta pots is to immerse them in rainwater for a couple of weeks. It has to be rainwater because it contains the algae spores you need. A water butt, large birdbath or pond is ideal. Thanks for sharing lovely 💚🌿

You are inspiring. I will get the new plants started this weekend. I just noticed by raspberry bush is budding as well as my apple tree. Soon the roses, I noticed the peonies are coming up and the yarrow is as well.
