[@mdmcgee]

I ordered a necklace from them and can verify the jewelry is stunning!

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

Lucy, regarding snails: my mum puts crushes eggshells around plants, apparently snails don't like them, also it is good source of calcium for the plants, so maybe you could try it

[@phaness_876]

I find that weird cause snails can eat eggshells. Lol. Idk if it works, it works.

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

@@phaness_876 Maybe Polish snails have different preferences 😂😂 She had a plague of them and there wasn't even one since she put the eggshells, I don't know what magic it is

[@Kahrowleen]

The snails here just waltz right over them XD

[@verad9917]

But she is vegan😊

[@mdmcgee]

Can also try copper wire or beer traps.

[@minounah]

Fuchsias are glorious shade plants that would look so pretty hung from the shady wall. Lavender is a must for any garden and would look beautiful among your blooms. Also some cherry tomatoes and lettuces can easily be grown in a container in a sunny spot. Enjoy!!

[@LastChanceChildhood]

You can apply coffee grounds around the base of your plants to help deter snails. It makes the soil acidic, which they don't like. It's worth checking if your flowers enjoy acidic soil though, since not all do. You can also apply copper tape around the top of your flower pots. It will turn most snails around too!

[@CrownedLily]

When I was a kid we had a couple gardens in our backyard and one of them was tomatoes and the snails/slugs became a problem. My dad set up beer traps.

[@bonniebernido8510]

Those surprise flowers are bleeding hearts, a beautiful perennial. They love shade and they spray out well

[@ginadelfina5887]

The little white flowers you show around 6:00 are armeria, also called sea pink or sea thrift. The little 5-petalled flowers that you like so much look like the campanula family. To help new trees & perennials get established, deep watering once or twice a week is better than shallow watering more often; it helps them develop deeper roots. Japanese anemones are some of my absolute favorite shade plants - it's really nice because they bloom in fall as many of the other plants are finishing up. I really like how you have the trees espaliered along the back fence to give privacy - what a great idea!

[@lilMissAdoria]

The heart flowers are bleeding hearts! Here in Canada there's a folktale about them. According to it, one day lost to history, a young native mother lost her child, and when she found him, he was dead. Her tears dropped into the ground around his body, and bleeding hearts grew. That's the gist of it that I recall, but my family has used them to mark our losses. When my first cat passed, we buried her and planted one in her memory outside my bedroom window, and though we've long sold the house, it's still there marking my love for her. They are great beautiful blooms and very hardy, as mine was happy living in a desert, and they still do well in more humidity. 😊

[@maureen4056]

I love your hairstyle in this one. I've been doing a lot of gardening in the last three years. This year, I'm still adding more. I love what I have so far and what I'm planning on doing the rest of this summer.

[@chocolate116m6]

I cannot garden right now, so watching someone enjoy it so much makes me not miss it as much.

[@RealCheeseOnly]

Oh you got a whole 70s vibe going on. Love it! Your hair especially looks incredibly full and vivacious

[@Monan03]

Pretty sure your first mystery plant IS a weed but I would wait as well. Second is probably foxglove. Third is definitely bleeding heart. Hostas like more shade and, depending on how the shade works in that corner, it might work better on the shady side. To retain moisture with mulch, make sure it's a thick layer. I've got clay soil too and tilling the soil with mulch/compost really helps over time.

[@MsHedgehog]

The little heart flower's name is 'Lamprocapnos spectabilis' according to google. In swedish we call them 'Löjtnantshjärta' which means 'lieutenant's heart', it also comes in white.

[@tricia2701]

The anemones are lovely! Over here, in the north east US they bloom at the end of summer and last till the first frost. They are perennial in my zone, 6, and have become a favorite of mine.

[@amixeblu]

Get some "slakkenhuisjes" for your snails. You pour some cheapie old beer into them and they will crawl in there and (obviously) die. You just shovel a small hole in the ground, pour it all in there, swish it out with some water, and fill it back up again. No need to very thoroughly clean it. But do look in there very regularly because you'll be surprised at how well this works!

[@sofiaoutandabout]

Hi Lucy, young, newly planted trees need regular watering to help them establish themselves in their new home. There is something called a tree watering bag, or a slow-release watering bag, that is perfect for such a situation. You wrap it around the tree, fill it up once a week, and the tree will get the water it needs. Also very helpful to help young trees withstand periods of drought in the summer.

[@Loepsie]

Ohh, interesting!

[@lindabullock742]

Garden is coming along Lucy and if you use coffee and have grounds or have access to them, lay them around your plants and it will stop them. They don’t like the feeling of them…🥰🇦🇺

[@yarnellka]

To add more plants to the shaded area, you could put planters on the wall of your shed and fill them up with ferns and some colorful annual flowers that enjoy shade (inpatients like shade and you can get them in lots of colors). The heart-shaped flowers are called Bleeding Hearts in English, they should do well in shade so you could try them in a big pot along your shed

[@rachela3066]

Hostas, huchera and hellebore all do well in shade. Put out some bird feeders to get birds into the garden, they will help keep the snails under control

[@lunatonkens7933]

I'm loving these garden videos! I'm excited to see more :) I'd also love to see you "use" the garden a bit more in the videos! Just so I can live vicariously through you hahaha 😂 Oh how I'd love to pick herbs and make tea with them, and enjoy it in the sunshine 😍 maybe read a book too... And when your vegetable patch starts yielding I'd love to see what you make with the harvest!

[@katharinagorochow1222]

You're garden looks great and I love your approach of just letting things grow and seeing how it works, and using the existing plants of course! Amazing! ❤ For your newly planted trees, they need a lot of water! Mulching helps a bit, of course, but I would recommend watering it about once a week (depending on the wheather conditions of course). When watering it's also important to water A LOT, so that the earth gets thouroughly saturated and not just the surface. Just for reference, gardeners calculate about 75-100 litres per small tree per watering, bigger trees even 200 litres... The Anemone you bought grows quite tall (up to a meter or even more) and will soon be too big for this small terracotta pot, but they are a great choice for a blooming perennial and look absolutely stunning in late summer/ early autumn when in bloom. It's one of my favourite flowers actually! And by the way, I'm a landscape architect 😉

[@dawsie]

Try a yeast, sugar and a little water mix put in an old butter tub add holes in the lid so they can get at the mix, or beer is anther option I use non-alcoholic as it’s cheap and I can drink it as well, they love the smell of it check it every other day and empty it out where the birds can get to the bugs to eat. Keep in mind that slugs and snails love dark damp pots as much as your plants do 😹😹 Ferns do well in full shade specially maidens hair which do well in hanging pots. The garden looks good. Fox glove will grow anywhere, I planted miniature foxgloves and they keep popping up all over the yard in the oddest of places.😹😹

[@katujka]

I really love how much you are exited about your garden and your effort is visible as your garden is absolutely thriving! In 25:32 I couldn't help but notice your T-shirt with "Krteček" which is sort of national symbol of my country - Czech Republic and it made me really happy :)

[@darymarkova]

I think she’s Czechoslovak actually! Perhaps that’s why she has the shirt

[@Loepsie]

Haha yep! Krteček is my childhood ❤️

[@kirstenpaff8946]

Well, your gardening experiments seem to be going a lot better than mine. I tried planting herbs on my balcony. They got fried by the sun and shredded by a particularly violent starling. I replanted and now have everything indoors. So far nothing is dead, but I did randomly discover two mushrooms in the planter.

[@Hevynly1]

The plant at 5:40 look like Sea Pinks to me (Armeria maritima). I love them in my garden! They're so cheerful! Everything else is looking gorgeous! Well done!!

[@pwhite2579]

for the slug / snail problem ... place several trays of cheap beer into the ground. The slugs will go for the beer rather than the plants and drown. Also check your neighbors lawns because slugs know no boundaries. Also, check for any infestations of anything new coming into the garden and if pulling out any dead plants treat the soil (heat / chemicals) for established colonies in the soil and also underneath the pavers (new or old) / rocks. Hope this helps!

[@halinakajfoszova4354]

The mole t-shirt!! Love it!! Very popular character in Czech Republic as well 🙂

[@sandiemable]

I get so excited when the flowers start to bloom! For your shade area, you could put impatiens on the wall, they love the shade as well as hostas. The hearts are called Bleeding Hearts, and they are stunning! Happy planting, xoxo's Sandie

[@tinyandcharming]

I'm thinking the surprise plant could be a foxglove. It'll be fun to see how things develop. I went away for two weeks and my garden had exploded in that time and it's always such a joy to see. I can't wait to see more updates! Also the little yellow surprise flowers are californian poppies - they can be california girls with your lilac

[@mmansour88]

Agreed! I think it’s foxglove too.

[@melissad7855]

Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)

[@chrissi7560]

What a beuatiful transformation fo your garden!! And you know what could look great to balance your garden a bit more and add to the shaddow space if you need any more ideas? A (decorative) ladder with hanging plant pots! Adds a bit more hight and dimension to the pots standing on the floor plus I have (solar) fairy lights on mine, very pretty!

[@Loepsie]

That's a great idea! I'm looking for something that'll add some height there and a ladder sounds wonderful 😄

[@MammaBear.]

Your soul looks like it’s not very robust. I would recommend fertilising with manure and adding compost on a regular basis.

[@juliajung4329]

For shady areas: Peperomias! Peperomias obtsufolias can stay in the shade and they come in three leave patterns/colors. There are tooons of types of peperomias. You could also try a Soleirolia soleirolii. Swedish ivy is also a shady plant. I just don't know which one of those are cold tolerant, if any. Peperomias are native to where I live (Brazil), so if you choose a amazonian one (like the peperomia serpens), they might be sensitive.

[@pennyhamilton8654]

Bleeding heart is what it is called......used for funerals in Tibet.....still beautiful

[@laughingbear2581]

Your garden looks lovely!! It's growing so nicely. You can reduce the amount of snails in your garden with a bowl of beer, if you get desperate.

[@user-do3vs7cf7d]

Your garden looks great! As for the "shade" plants, you could try ferns, dryopteris for example. Another option is vinca, it's a small evergreen plant, it flowers blue in spring. I think it doesn't need much watering and should be ok in a pot. Both dryopteris and vinca can grow in full shade areas. But foxgloves as well anemona japonica do need some sunlight. Otherwise there won't be many flowers...

[@margaretkaraba8161]

Mint and thyme don't mind growing in the shade. You could put some parsley, chervil and chives (chives are slow to sprout sometimes) in pots as well to make a shaded herb garden.

[@DelphineSerenity]

Also! Not sure if you were planning on having a veggie garden, but I thought you may be interested in the "square foot gardening" method if you do want one, as you only need 6 inches deep of soil mixture and a 4x4 (you can do smaller if you want!) foot raised garden bed can yield SO MUCH produce when using that method! It could be a great option to not take much space but allow you to still get a decent harvest, it's a method designed by an engineer to be super economical and give the best results in the smallest space 😊

[@valerieclark5552]

Hi Lucy. The white pompon flowers are called Thrift. It is a coastal plant, so is very hardy. You can also get a pink variety.

[@elskersten-vandijk7227]

In Dutch we say "Engels gras" although I think the pink version is more common here. More generally, if you want to know what a plant is, highly recommend PlantNet! You just upload a picture of a plant and it tells you which plant you're looking at. Also very nice if you see things in other people's gardens and think "I want that!" 😊 Bonus: PlantNet is a citizen science project on biodiversity so you're adding to the knowledge on which plants are found where by uploading photos!

[@edwardtheinsane]

In your little plant journal, you could add a phenology wheel. If you aren’t sure what that is, it’s a wheel where you keep track of the changes of a natural process over a certain amount of time. For example, the bloom cycle of a flower or tree over a year. Or migratory patterns of birds. You could make one specific for your garden every year, and see how things change over time.

[@prinses999tube]

I love your black and white (and pink?) dress by the way, it looks AWESOME on you!!!

[@butimartistic]

The white pincushion flower at 6:10 with the grassy leaves is armeria. :D

[@AgnesN]

Anyone else noticed the Krtek top? :D Perfectly placed under the dungarees!

[@ezerstudio9195]

It’s so lovely to see you and your garden thriving in this house!

[@janabreazeale3184]

Love your flowers and all the garden videos! It’s like a secret garden. ☺️

[@robertabiallas6923]

Looks great, Lucy! What about some smart pots of ferns in the shadowy area to the right?

[@emmkaa2099]

I live in the desert and had totally forgotten how troublesome 🐌 snails 🐌 can be. Your garden looks great! Hugs! MK 🤗 ❤️ 🌵

[@prinses999tube]

yes yes, more garden related stuff please!!! Groetjes uit babant ;-)

[@impposter560]

A good trick for keeping the slug/snail population under control is to put little tins of beer all over the garden, mainly with the plants that are under siege. They crawl in, get drunk and drown. No pollinators are hurt by it, its easy to clean up and best of all doesn't spread poison around your yard. We mostly have slugs here, but I imagine it works on snails too. Also, we have so many of the same plants! 😂 I was watching and was like "Ooh! I have that one! Oh, and that one too!"

[@dawsie]

Yep it works on both slugs and snails, I just tip the container out every few days on top of the compost bin but the birds will eat them once they have dried off a lot. Yeast and sugar works well, it’s the yeast in the beer they are after.

[@aleksandrasivolob]

The garden is looking lovely! I admire you for doing so much in your first gardening season. I'm sure it'll look better with each passing year. I have very slowly added things to my garden and sometimes feel overwhelmed, but I like even the slow progress I've made over time.

[@hollybums89]

Looking absolutely gorgeous!! I love how everything is thrown in together but still is harmonious. I hope they all bloom for you soon! I loved my raspberry plant, raspberry leaf tea has been used for centuries for that time of the month cramps! A mild and sweet taste. Love everything so far!

[@kmburkezoo]

This looks so lovely! If having the garden look interesting year round is important to you, you might want to look into some kind of evergreens. Growing up near the Chicago Botanic Gardens, my favorite gardens in the winter were the Japanese, English Walled, and Dwarf Conifer Gardens; they all included evergreens and more sculptural elements that created visual interest even when nothing was flowering.

[@Loepsie]

That's definitely something I'm considering! I'm making sure at least part of the plants I plant are evergreen 😊

[@bethknapp4935]

Those are bleeding hearts, and they are so pretty. They should spread as well

[@Victoria-gq5il]

Is it common in the Netherlands to pave your garden with large stones? Here in Germany we have mostly lawn where there are no beds with plants. In the summer I love to walk barefoot on grass, it is also not so hot. I love your Flowers. Looks really beautiful.

[@ladydeetz]

Hydrangeas change colors depending on the ph of the soil. So you can play with the ph and change the colors every year. Some pretty pink flowers that bloom huge and gorgeous are dahlias my mom has a bush and every year it blooms into the most beautiful pink bush that takes over under the window. I love your garden 🪴 ❤

[@ClaireRousseau]

So glad you're enjoying your garden! The mystery flowers around 5:40 look like they might be scabiosas (common name is pincushion flowers, very appropriate for you!). If not, I'd recommend checking out scabiosas, they come in lovely soft purples, blues and pinks and well as white, I love mine!

[@findmeinnature]

i am focusing on a herb garden this year in pots, your garden is so pretty.

[@nonbinarybard]

omg you have a Krteček t-shirt!

[@teatimeplease]

Be careful with the raspberry! Make sure you stay on top of pruning or it will send runners all over your garden and take over!

[@missmists]

The bleeding hearts at 11:50 were my mom’s favorite

[@missmists]

And 22:40

[@wtvr619]

Aww Krteček tshirt! Your garden is looking lovely, thank you for reminding me of the joy of first/second season gardening, establishing everything and watching it all slowly grow into your vision. Magic!

[@amixeblu]

Oh oh! Another suggestion: sedum plants. Called "St Gummarusbloemen" in Belgium. We have them all along our driveway. It also attracts bees and is a lovely plant/flower that barely needs maintenance. You cut them short once they bloomed (November'ish) and they're ready to come up next year. That's basically all you do.

[@daviddavidsen907]

Your garden updates are my fave videos❤

[@r.d.durfey5862]

So many great garden ideas here😉

[@bobinlisa]

Beware raspberry plants spread like crazy, and you really need to keep them in check.

[@BridgetRavens]

Oh this LOOK Lucy 😻 so good!

[@emorourke1306]

Love your garden. The digitalis (foxglove) is beautiful. Unfortunately I couldn’t have it in my little garden because it is highly poisonous to cats. Not sure about other animals.

[@angelanice]

I'm absolutely loving your garden ❤️ it's so exciting to see what new plants are blooming!

[@ashleyguthrie572]

I am living garden life vicariously through this channel rn

[@claudiacoronel8534]

Hi Lucy! For help de roots go through the soil, you could put lentils water, I mean lentils on water for overnight take out lentils and you could prepare for dinner or something and the water to your plants is helpful to the roots and make them stronger . By the way your garden is getting beautiful just need time and attention while grow up.

[@prestigousbabe]

It’s been so fun watching each video of your garden makeover! I’m not familiar with where you live so I’m wondering if the roses/other plants that are in terracotta pots will survive the winter. Depending on your zone you may want to plant them in the ground so they come back next year!

[@amixeblu]

We have a rhododendron in our yard as well. It is gorgeous when it blooms. We have a small garden with 2 major raised flower beds (train rails). It is a flower/plant garden solely, but we have quite a bit of roses. They are very sturdy flowers as well and they have such lovely flowers. I can also recommend a Japanese maple, it turns so many colors and it is "leafy" throughout the year!

[@Em_284]

Lucy, the garden looks beautiful! You've inspired my own gardening this year, so thank you!! I believe the white flower at around 5:27 (you weren't sure about the name) is Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima)... I used a plant identification app so, please, forgive me if it's wrong😂

[@aliplay5]

lova a garden update! it totally looks like your drawing, so magical! how wonderful you get to have your own space to take care of. I am still in the tiny apartment stage of my life, watching this is inspiring!

[@katerinacerna8555]

Tričko (mikina?) s krtečkem 10/10! 😂❤

[@Helga-fe5xl]

We used copper tape around pots to keep snails off, apparently they don't like it

[@clarasayk525]

Lucy, there is a gardener on KZbin I think his name is Siloe or something who has some really stunning artiatic cottage garden design videos that might be up your alley design-wise

[@evfie3]

Yessss that’s him: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paSqZmmwfNJof9U

[@Loepsie]

Yeeees I love his videos! Such incredibly high quality content, it's mind-blowing

[@lusiakurk5801]

The dr. Seuss tuft white plant is sea thrift aka Armaria and it's one of my faves. Perennial too down to zone 3 in Canada, but alas mine did not return after year 2😢

[@r.d.durfey5862]

Your garden is looking lovely. The heart plant is called bleeding heart and will grow much bigger. Maybe you could try some Holly hawks against the fence. They grow tall and have lovely flowers. An idea for the black shed door. Their are some removable stickers that would be lovely there. You know flowers and butterflies would be lovely.😉🐦🌹🌸🌹🍃🌱🍄🌿🌼 Also mini rose plants do really great in window boxes and pots and are so beautiful.

[@fantastiv]

This year I am also trying to make my garden look beautiful with plants! I even planted some things from seed up. Sadly also snails are eating some plants of mine, they are a real pain! Let's hope we can live our cottage garden dream lives this summer, looking forward to blooming!!

[@wendymalik6784]

Garden tip for snails: make beer traps. Place a small jar with beer in it near the plant under threat. Snails/slugs are attracted to the yeast in the beer. When they crawl in the beer they drown. My grandma swore by it.

[@L_T86]

Your garden is beautiful and will only get more beautiful with time. About raspberries - they're great until they take over your yard and you can't get rid of them. 😅

[@louiselund2419]

have you considered making a compost pile for your green waste, it provides good soil with plenty of nutrition for your plants.

[@Loepsie]

I'm fairly sure we have communal compost in the municipality! Will have to look into it more but I believe we can pick it up for free

[@caitlainmccarren2286]

An Answer to snails is bier traps. They're simple, economical, and environmentally friendly. You build hem from refuse, so when you put them back in refuse when finished with them it's no loss. I'd post a link but then you'd never see this, but you can look up construction detail online.

[@PetWessman]

I'm moving into a new flat in July and it's on the ground floor and HAS A PATIO. I was thinking I wouldn't be able to do very much with such a small space (it's the size of a half-decent balcony), but your gardening videos have definitely inspired me! Thank you from Sweden!

[@AnnieKat_]

definitely love the garden vids! keep em coming :)

[@shanalove6194]

Bleeding hearts ❤

[@margaretroland4520]

Your garden is shaping up very nicely. I'm pretty sure you said you live in the Netherlands, so I keep wondering---where are the tulips? Y'all are famous for your tulips! I think they would look so pretty scattered about in your garden. Also, several years ago, I got some gladiolus bulbs from Holland---they are blooming here now (eastern North Carolina) and they are unbelievably gorgeous---I wish I could send you a picture. They would look so pretty against your garden wall. Love everything you're doing!

[@ravenporcelaindoll]

I forgot she was from Netherlands but I definitely wondered the same thing as you regarding the missing tulips. I love tulips and their variety. 🌷 😅

[@Loepsie]

I only started working on this garden this spring! Definitely planning to plant some tulip bulbs in autumn for next year 😄 All the tulips finished blooming over here weeks ago, by the way. They bloomed in April/early March 🌷

[@blue4thefuture]

Looks great Highly recommend some mulch to help protect the soil and retain moisture. Also makes the beds look nice :)

[@westernhorserider3827]

Your hair looks stunning!!!

[@roeskvalauridsen]

5:40 the flowers are sea pinks, they often grow by the roadside and by the sea :-)

[@DelphineSerenity]

Everything just keeps getting lovelier! 😍 How about some ferns along that shady wall as well? 😊 Especially a small man fern would look stunning there! They're quite popular for shady garden spots here in Tasmania. Also, just in case you didn't know, foxgloves are EXTREMELY toxic, every part of them is poisonous, they affect the heart very quickly and they're very attractive to children so something to keep in mind if you plan to have children in the future.

[@ShelbythePlain]

I live in the US in the rural desert outside of Las Vegas where the summers average at 90-110F (32-43C) and get about 5 inches of rain A YEAR. Nothing that grows here is green/leafy. I am so envious of your garden and wish that I could have one.

[@AnniCarlsson]

That weed loiks like goldenrod. Beutiful yellow flowers and bugs love them. If they can become a problem or not will depend on therr you live. In Sweden they tend to take over everything and not give room to other plants and spread like nuts. But verry importent is that this don't means it's a weed in other areas. Plants not react the same way everywhere. So read what they are like in your area.

[@aylinestrada1842]

I would keep that gorgeous new raspberry plant raised high and away from the slugs!

[@sofiaottoman]

Your garden looks absolutely lovely 💕

[@cassil.g.455]

Rhododendron is the state flower of Washington State, not the capital but a part of the PNW. I think you would love it over here;) I can't wait to plant a lilac soon. I have been wanting one but didn't know which one to get. Maybe California Lilac like yours. The garden looks great. Thank you for sharing it;)

[@Flauschesoeckchen]

Greetings! Have you considered a wisteria for your lovely garden? I feel like it might fit your taste quite well (the most magical purple colour) and it's very easy to care for, too. :) I love mine, even though it doesn't get great conditions and is developing rather slowly (still keeping it in a pot due to moving) I've had it for a few years, they only start blooming at ~7 years I believe and seem to do just fine in partial shade until then. Eventually they can get so big, they'll grab enough light everywhere ^^ Only thing is it's not actually a native one.

[@Loepsie]

Oh I adore wisteria! Everyone keeps warning me against them though, apparently they can be quite horrible to keep up with. Maybe one day if I find a contained spot for it 😁

[@gabythenaturalist4675]

Snails are repelled by copper! If you have copper pennies or copper wire you can put it around the plants that they like and it will help keep them away.

[@SGRmoss]

I love seeing your garden grow and thrive ✨️

[@gingerpunk916]

The "GrowVeg" youtube channel (based out of UK) has a couple videos on how to deter slugs/snails. And the "Really Big Plant" youtube channel (based out of CA, USA) just had a video that they used copper tape and mesh on the bottom of her pots and apparently that deters slugs too
