I made a new hedgehog door! Weekly cottage garden vlog

[@ThedaVonGurkenbeet]

If i was a hedgehog🦔, i would bring all my friends and family with me to enjoy your beautiful garden 🌺🌷⚘🌻🏵🌸🌱🪴🌾🍀❤🥰

[@DaintyDiaries]

😂🦔🦔🦔 love it! The more the merrier

[@jenniferwilson1323]

"Comparison is the thief of joy." I love that. Can't wait to see what you do with your seating area.

[@Gandellion]

Hehehe Blondie surveying her kingdom from the top of the playhouse

[@Nanatracie]

Catherine it's all looking amazing but I did have to think is she really going to sit and enjoy the garden because that's what I try to do but after looking at garden for 5 mins I'm like oh I should do this and that so am always pottering, sure my neighbours must get sick of my flip-flops clipping and clopping up and down the garden, I defo get some steps in out there 🤣🤣🤣

[@GrandmaSandy]

My gosh the little fairy door with a shamrock is super cute too

[@43grantct]

Love the chairs can't wait to see the painted version. I always prepare the backyard for a local garden tour and then never really go outside to enjoy it. This year I plan on doing the same, book, wine instead of tea, sit and enjoy the work I did.

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s the move!! Have to soak in and enjoy all your effort 😍

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Ahhhhh Catherine, we are kindred spirits! The sound of the wind rustling through the leaves is such a special sound!! It just makes the soul happy!! Your new outdoor reading nook will be lovely and I can’t wait to see it! Hugs!! Tina ❤️🥰😍

[@dyanewilsonnanacupcake8504]

Add-a-ron-dack is how you pronounce the name of the chairs that originated, I believe. From New York for the mountain range by the same name. Love your hedgehog opening, so cute

[@karenstewart8818]

Yep. As a former New Yorker from the Adirondack's, that's exactly how you say it, but perhaps more 'dack' then 'deck'.

[@emmalouie1663]

I always hear Add-A-Ron-DAck Adirondack like the Mts.

[@doubles1738]

In Michigan we pronounce it “Add-ER-on-dack”. Your garden is really shaping up. 🌺🌸🌼🌻🪷🌹🌷💐Beautiful flowers!

[@janetamond2616]

From the Adirondack mountain “camps” in New York, back in the age of the Astors. The wealthy from NYC would train out to the mountains and woods of the Adirondack mountains for vacations.

[@lauriehume3395]

Also called Muskoka chairs in Ontario

[@jenniferesser8249]

😇💜 Hi Catherine and Blonde 🐈, How CUTE is the lil hedgehog 🦔 Entrance, as well as seeing Blonde 🐈 using the entrance LOL 🤭 I L 💜 VE the new outdoor chairs, and they do look comfy.🤗💜 Thank YOU for sharing, and as always I APPRECIATE YOU, and I look forward to seeing your next video.🤗💜💜💜

[@sallyeve4044]

Traditionally, they are painted, not stained. Love everything here, as usual,love!

[@micahmiller9113]

"Comparison is the thief of joy" is one of my favorite quotes. I tell it to myself all the time lol.

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

My hedgehogs would love your hedgehog hole in your door, you just put in. How clever you are, to put one in that door for them. That's what I've grown to love about you. You're so thoughtful, & sweet. We have similar ways, & likes. What a cute wee little house, & door. I can't wait to see the colors you will paint all the thing's you got. Those wooden chairs, & the wee little door with shamrocks. The gnome's, fairy's, pixie's, & brownies will feel more at home with things all about, that are their own size. Thanks to you, I am inspired to do my own yard too. So funny that this happened, get this. I mentioned how I've always wanted a white Bleeding heart plant to my neighbor. So guess what. She saw one in her travel's. She gave it to me. How nice of her. I was so happy. I too have been planting Petunias, Pansy's, & Marigold's. Thanks for inspiring me. Love you.

[@peggynorton5535]

Sage green for the chairs. Bright flowered cushions. Love the hedgehog entry and the cottage and door. Just adorable

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@carriecobb1235]

My St Patrick rose is in full bloom 😍! Thanks Catherine for another lovely and inspiring video! Welcome little hedgehogs 👋🤗❤

[@nmp6338]

You are such a lovely garden fairy and a delight to watch. Your joy and enthusiasm for gardening makes my day.

[@lisanester3338]

Add a ron dack chairs…that’s how you pronounce it. Lovely. I totally agree with La Barbara about if I were a hedgehog I would bring the whole crew with me! Stay well 🙏🏻💜😉🌸💐🌼🌻🌺💚🌷

[@maureengee364]

Fantastic. They looked great. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@kylieharrison3782]

Oh pink you definitely have to paint your furniture a pink colour. 💗 then paint some cute symbols in metallic gold on the furniture. Maybe shamrocks, hearts, butterflies...

[@DerrynEHahn-ir2jv]

Glad to hear your planning to relax in your garden. Take time to enjoy the beauty you have created❤️✨

[@Pamkkw]

Add-uh-ron-dack chairs 😊 I LOVE the natural wood! Maybe just stain them to protect the natural wood. They match your flowerbeds. 🥰

[@franjojo1]

I love watching your videos every Sunday 🪴🌹🌺

[@seacrow6916]

Oh to spend a few minutes in your lovely garden!

[@janebradfield2373]

And I love the little fairy cottage! So darling!

[@ehpeachylove]

Your gardens are beautiful, love the wind in the trees, love the hedgehog door, Blondie made good use of it too. 🤗😘🙏❤️

[@SunshineShellz]

My dog went nuts when that bird started squawking 🤪. Love the hedgehog 🦔 door!

[@elia-mariaabbott9577]

ADIRONDACK CHAIRS, LOL Yes very comfortable 😁

[@daviddeininger2938]

Our son has enjoyed Sonic the Hedgehog since he was young. He would get a kick out of your door. So cute.

[@lauraburell5679]

I think Blondie likes your new hedge hog entrance!

[@maryohare4141]

Ad-i-ron-dack chairs were used in New York state in USA , in the Adirondack mountains for log lodge style clinics/ healing retreats which helped people with fresh mountain air when people had tuberculosis lung disease.

[@alyssacarvalho5795]

FANTASTIC! How privileged all the critters are to live in such a gorgeous environment and receive so much love and care! Well done, Catherine!

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Also, can we just send a bit of love for the most beautiful supervisor in the world? Miss Blondie does such a great job!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Doesn’t she 😍😂

[@lynngliottone2812]

Love your hedgehog door AND hedgehogs as well! ❤❤

[@hildegardkhelfa5358]

Yoir garden is such a lovely little paradise - and that hedgehog gate is too cute to be true. Such a beautiful, funny and useful idea.

[@JD-qf6zl]

Bless you for buying your chairs from a local craftsman!

[@peggynorton5535]

I planted hostas and elephant ears in a circle around my walnut tree. I planted 4 tomato plants, 2 foxglove, 2 bleeding hearts, 1 lily, I hydrangea bush, 2 geraniums and an elephant ear in my container.

[@kandyharris2195]

Sounds like you had a busy day of planting💪 ! I bet it looks wonderful 💕

[@peggynorton5535]

@@kandyharris2195 well , when it fills in, it should be amazing. I divided 2 hostas one striped, one solid. I did striped, then 3 solid, for 4 sets around the tree. Inner circle I did the elephant ears staggered in between each hosta.

[@plantingseedsoflove8]

Thank you for your inspiration, Catherine! Lovely fairy home.💗

[@pockethole1900]

Sit in beauty and enjoy should be everyone's goal.

[@yout54352]

Just darling the hedgehog door!

[@MJ-tx8jz]

Adirondack chairs! ♥️☘️♥️Beautiful!♥️

[@suecox2308]

Add--a--RON--dack chairs are so comfy and they look great in your garden--possibly a light green stain would look good on them.

[@TheGrandLady]

Yeah!!! Hedgehogs!! 😍

[@DaintyDiaries]

ha ha, gotta love them x

[@marvettebarkerthompson455]

You inspire me....thanks for sharing. Love the hedgehog hole. I was especially impressed with how you just removed and replaced that large door. Watching from Jamaica. 👍

[@cliffhorman6846]

Hedgehog entry is so very cute. Your garden is a joy. I think we all love watching it grow almost as much as you do.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thank you! I just love that it’s coming together and I get to share

[@mskelspider]

The brick fence and window/mirror are working out great.

[@lisabevans8107]

Put in a bunch of new veg seeds and since it was no mow may I finally got to mow ! Very happy with the way it looks and working on weeding. Hagd.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Catherine the hedgehog little opening is so cute. Maybe paint the new chairs a sage or beige because white shows dirt too much 👍👍💚❤

[@lesmercredis]

That hedgehog hole is the CUUUUUTESSST thing I have ever seen 😍😍😍 Also: A-di-RON-dack. In Canada, most of us call em Muskoka (mus-KOW-kuh) chairs, named for a popular cottage. region.

[@OcTeaPeace]

I was scrolling looking for the other Canadians! I was thinking "that's a Muskoka chair" but realized that's probably regional slang. lol

[@MsBubu26]

I’m from Canada and I never heard them called Muskoka, must be a regional thing. I learn every day 😊

[@denisecarter5117]

The hedgehog door is so cute.

[@sandychristiansen1749]

Your enthusiasm for your plants and garden always make me smile. You have created a delightful backyard. Found your channel recently and catching up on all the gardening videos.

[@petro3441]

I do not know the history behind those chairs but my brother in-law also makes it and they are so comphy. It's going to look smart in that corner of your garden. Aaaah the hedgehog 🦔 opening is so sweet.he can even fit into the fairy house🤭

[@alexandrastevens8892]

I think paint for the chairs is a dandy option but it's all personal choice and whichever you choose will be great 👍

[@karensaville913]

Dear Blondie what a star...

[@marionmcshea4686]

Hilarious to see Blondie coming through the opening!! (Thanks mum for my walk through) 😂😂

[@DaintyDiaries]

She had to test it out 😂 and totally thinks it’s hers 😂

[@jennifersherwood1901]

I loved this Vlog . You make things so easy to do . I love the idea of your Hedgehog gate. Blondie can get in and out easier now. 🦔 All the plants 🪴🌺🌷you chosose looked lovely colours together in the wheelbarrow. Your pond is going to look fab when you get a few more plants around it . Well Done you !

[@GrandmaSandy]

Oh my gosh the chairs are so pretty and they look so comfy just to sit down by the seashore

[@mwillis7791]

I think you should pink wash your chairs! They’d be so sweet!

[@sarahpreston3047]

Catherine your garden is so pretty, you can see all the hard work you have put in,love the hedgehog door,the pretty fairy cottage and door, you have a lovely Imagination, hope all goes well with your book, look forward to your next video, take care xx🌷🌺🦔

[@grat2010]

I hope you get lots of hedgehog visitors!

[@lorijulian8368]

Adder-RON-DAK chairs were apparently (according to Google) first made by Thomas Lee in 1903 for his Westport New York cottage. Your hedgehog door is super duper adorable!

[@anasmith1788]

I love the kind soul you are. Totally kindhearted act of love for that little hedgehog. I’m sure he loves all that you’ve done in the garden. As do we all🌿🌷🌱💐🪴🌸

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awwwwww thank you Ana, for always being so kind 🦔🦔🦔🦔

[@judyshort38]

Good luck with the Bleeding Heart. I love them but they always die on me.

[@karencurtis6141]

Yeeee 🤪 my book has arrived, looks and smells perfect, just noticed the pink ribbon, it gorgeous xx

[@itsmewende]

Just thinking about the Adirondack chairs, I think the movie Dirty Dancing is set in the time when the wealthy would travel there. Love you have hedgehogs, and the hedgehogs you added to the door. Your pond is coming right along too, look forward to seeing it over summer.

[@ilsejuarez155]

The hedgehog door was so cute!! I love your content!!

[@mariaolgadarcy8146]

You are amazing. I live in Victoria Australia, and I never get tired of seeing your videos, your plants, and energy. It's so beautiful.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awwww, thanks so much Maria 😊

You are adorable. Your chairs are "add-or-on-dak" there you go! Patti O'Neill from California, USA 😊

[@marynahikian8583]

Thank you for such lovely vlogs. I love it! We hosted the Irish football team here in Armenia this week. Apologies for the one goal win against them. Great to have the Irish spirit here even if for only 2 days. Blessings from Armenia!

[@wildflowerwind6941]

You are such an inspiration. Thank you.

[@loriar1027]

You mean Adder-AHN-dack chairs. They’re super comfortable!

[@bethmarcom6463]

Add-ah-ron-dak Yes, you are correct...named after mountain range in NY. They are just beautiful! Can't wait to see your seating area update! Enjoy your gardening journey and I pray many blessings over you and yours!

[@lorraine947]

I got your book! I got your book! I got your book! sooooo excited to receive it here in Australia where it's blowing a wintery gale where I live....my day is now allocated!!!! Thankyou Catherine, love all you doXX

[@DaintyDiaries]

Eeeeek I am so so happy it arrived !

[@cherbinsted2378]

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. We in Australia, are in our winter, though nowadays fairly mild in the northern end to what it used to be. I’ve been busy repotting and planting out pelargoniums, impatiens and verbena currently. I have to tackle my pond next to give it a tidy up and make a shade cover for it, as the sun gets too hot in summer for the fish and it makes algae grow. I built my own bog filter for it and am pleased with myself over that. Not bad for an old incapacitated biddy . 😆

[@GrandmaSandy]

Good morning my dear friend, always love your beautiful video she put together thank you so much for sharing it with us hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie

[@estheryork146]

I absolutely love watching you! I adore your accent I’m form the USA. And I love all your videos gardening/ home decor. 💕💜💗❤️🤗

[@marywest2896]

I would paint the chairs a different color each a light green for one, and a mustard yellow for the other, they will be so cute.....heck you can even paint some daises and other cute flowers on the chairs as well.

[@juliederry3719]

Love how Blondie tested the hedgehog doorway lol, she’s a brilliant supervisor Catherine lol, more gorgeous plants, l remember having chocolate cosmos and it did smell like chocolate, love the chairs and can’t wait to see the seating area being created, tfs sweetheart x Julie

Felicidades, hermoso jardín y las sillas bonitas y cómodas.

Adirondack chair.... oil based staining will last much longer.... try a grey white aged look... YUM! It will go great with all your colors. Never chip like paint. Lasts much longer.

[@junehulton9776]

You are amazing....the hedgehogs..🦔..will be overwhelmed with the entrance.🚪..and I am sure they will love your garden... I do. And you're chairs are perfect x well done 😀

[@janebradfield2373]

I would love to see you do a travel with me series around Ireland! For those of us in the US that probably can’t get there for a visit. I would love that.

[@irisstormo6913]

I made a new scratching post for my cat. She seems pleased with it. I started a little pond garden. The Water Lily should arrive in a couple of days. I've had strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash from the garden, and the tomatoes are loaded. I love all your little projects. Blondie seemed content with her little door ha,! 🌺❤🌺

[@maryohare4141]

The bleeding heart is a lovely flowering plant...but it grows very deep roots...like 10 ft long beneath ground...so you want to keep it far away from your house foundation or sewer drainage lines. I dint know this and the roots pushed into my crawlspace!

[@ellenmorrell8332]

Ad-er-Ron-rack chairs. That is a mountain range in the East of USA. They were made for vacationers to relax in while looking at the views. We find them everywhere now.

Hello from Brighton, Michigan USA. Enjoy your video! ❤

[@Idashome]

I love your garden especially your greenhouse and I love your painted bricks that such a smart idea🌸

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Great new chairs. Well known here in the states to be comfy. People often paint them a color to go with the garden. A pretty green might be nice, or as you say to match the greenhouse, and a couple floral cushions. Yes, I bought some more plants yesterday, though I still have loads of seedlings I grew to get planted! Impatient plugs, a lambsear, sweet woodruff, blue salvia, a pepper plant for the vegtable garden, and bulbs. It is raining, so no gardening today! Love the hedgehog door. New subscriber, enjoying watching.

[@create.n.capture]

Add-Er-On-Dack Chairs!! Love them! It's a region in upstate NY!

[@jaeleighxxx7829]

I'm starting to think Irelands moved away to find the warmer weather, we in England are having a second winter, it's rained a lot and cold. I love the chairs btw.
