Wow I love these flowers they are a burst of colour!

[@cliffordchristopher1]

So jelly of your lupins

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Hello, you showed up in my Recommended List today. What an absolute joy this was to watch today. TY. so much. I am 135 miles south of Chicago here in the States. I have never ever ever seen Lupines in my life as gorgeous as yours. My gosh in heaven. You did good. :):)

[@analomba3063]

Good afternoon, I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years, congratulations for all your video

[@choctaw5050]

I love David Austin roses, also. I could almost smell the blossoms myself. Love your channel.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

Your garden looks stunning. So lush, pretty colors and tons of green. Beautiful.

[@koreanature]

Wow, Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea

[@KadenceX]

The lupins in the thumbnail. Wow! 😍

[@flowerpixel]

I remember when you planted your grandmother's border and everything was tiny. It looks amazing! When I first started gardening years ago, I saw you mention erigeron karvinskianus. I even bought some seeds online, but maybe because I didn't know what I was doing, none of them germinated LOL

[@iartistdotme]

Love the mass of plants - like a secret garden to walk through. Surprises at each turn. Your grandmother would be so pleased!

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you 🥰

[@MrBlythey]

Your allotment is so beautiful! The endless layers of different plants, even the common weeds look beautiful nestled in-between 😍

[@doughaynes1048]

Your garden is one ☝️ of the best I have seen , those lupins are stunning 🤩 keep it up 👍 you are a blessing to gardening 👩‍🌾

[@cliffordchristopher1]

Thanks!

[@bradatkins9616]

Foxgloves have to been one of my favourites , Loved them since I was a child 🌱😍

[@lolalea100]

Thank you for taking the time to show us around your allotment garden each month. It's always a delight to see the changes. I never fail to learn a new garden technique, plant information or new plant variety to add to my wish list! PS The thumbnail of you and your gorgeous lupins is stunning!

[@Nora_meow99]

Amazing 💯 You have your forest by your

[@kristinpagan2361]

What can I say Katrina aside from the garden looks absolutely stunning. The Blues at the beginning were so vibrant...and then the rest of the blooms! Hopefully the rest of the planting worked out well. So many peppers, lettuces, peas & beans!!

[@michaelfrazer8088]

Thank You so much for sharing. Very beautiful

[@mandie3049]

Sweetie, you can ramble all you like, I'm hanging on every word. I learn so much from you. Thank you

[@evolassunglasses4673]

Thanks for passing on your knowledge. Best wishes from Essex England.

[@AshleasBookshelf]

Such a beautifully abundant garden, I love it! I'm slowly expanding my garden and flower beds. My 5-yr-old wants to add lupines this year.

[@jackieblakemore56]

Everything looks wonderful!!! Xx

[@nancyspence2965]

Lovely Lupins! Wish mine would come back. Out of six last year I only got one back in and its tiny. The Illinois winters are tough on them.

[@stevemason5520]

The allotment is blooming, just like yourself

[@PabloBhattacharjee]

[@theadventuresofmywifelilya9072]

Nice and beautiful

[@gardentours]

Those lupins are stunning 😲🤗👍

[@davidshinn6501]

I grew Lettuce Leaf basil last year, which claims to be the largest leaved variety.It was fabulous. You've reminded me to sow some more now that it's a bit warmer.

[@flowerpixel]

I need to grow this, I love basil too! I was just looking for seeds online

[@GostwickMr]

Love the updates! I compare what you're achieving with my own plot. As my home was built in 1890, I try to use seeds of the period where I can.

[@Nat-mk7gb]

Wow what an incredible garden ❤️ absolute wildlife haven. Lupine are stunning but mine seem to be completely destroyed by slugs every year 🙈 I don’t know how to save them... your look phenomenal 🥰

[@tangocat4370]

I absolutely loved growing Napoletano. It was great even in my south florida humid and hot weather!

[@plantingforliving4077]

So cool and beautiful colourful flowers of your Garden. Keep it up..

Wow,that's Not a garden ,,it's paradise 🪴🌼🏵💮🌸🌴🌲🌳🏡

Best Wishes from my very rural location about 100 miles from New Orleans !

[@kertmelinda]

I love your garden and your videos 🥰

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

The yellow daisy is an Anthemis. Probably the variety 'E.C. Buxton'

[@katec9893]

Beautiful. I love all those flowers especially the lupins, foxgloves and roses, stunning. I like how it has a wild natural element to it. That's astrantia isn't it, rather than aquilegia. Be careful with the delphiniums as they are highly poisonous.

[@dbec5224]

Brill keep it up

Not in my experience!

[@desertharvester7941]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden! I look forward to your videos! ☀️🌸🌻

[@johnmitchell6527]

I love the drifty-coour and that you're prepared to leave some self seeds in the veggie beds. I bet your plot's an absolute magnet for butterflies and pollinating insects, and a riot of bee noise when the sun is out. So inspirational and thanks for sharing once again.

[@tinyapothecarykitchen]

It's all so luscious and lovely! Absolutely stunning! :)

[@chiring7169]

Your videos are amazingly well, i use to learn English.

[@homegrowngarden]

Thanks for watching! Fun fact: I was recently asked to give permission for my potato video to be used in a Dutch English examination. 😆

[@dancingcowgirl85]

We just got the last of our garden in this weekend. We have a ton of veggies and some fruits. I garden with my mom so for the most part I buy everything and do the hard work such as planting and rototilling and she does the weekly weeding and the we do preserving together.

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

🌼🐝🌻you have a beautiful garden. Isn’t it amazing to see the changes in your plants every day. 👨‍🌾🥕I love watching my garden grow a little each day, that is my favorite part of gardening.🌸🌺🐇Thank you for sharing your garden videos so now I can watch your garden grow too! I love it so much I started filming garden videos too. I am in my 3rd year of gardening and still have so much to learn. I hope we can learn more from each other!

[@marymcandrew7667]

I loved watching this episode, so much beauty and nice and relaxed the way you share! I'm excited to see how our garden areas come along this summer, it's still a new space for us. I forgot to say I too let some parsnips go to seed, only had space enough to bang them in a pot last year and they only grew tiny, but I left them and now they are happily going to flower, my husband likes them too. I also let some old cabbage and purple sprouting broccoli go to flower, they are gorgeous and the smaller bumbles love them!

[@roslynm5492]

Thankyou for the update, tomorrow is our first day of winter here in Melbourne Australia so this video makes me hopeful for spring.

[@JayAtPlotNumberTwelve]

Nice update, plot looks fantastic!

[@craigbeas6111]

Wonderful now we have to start clearing the garden ready for summer just need some dry days lol

[@morgaynelove9327]

I am jealous of your lupines! So pretty!

[@meharoy2933]

I love watching your videos... It's calming and fun to watch around the allotment. Loved the Lupin's.

[@freyaa1905]

I usually dig up my dahlias as well but I left some and mulched. We had a very cold week of -13C and they all survived!

Beautiful allotment - loads to look forward to - thank you for sharing

[@emmaandrews8766]

Always enjoy watching your blogs thank you. Fantastic foxgloves which look magical and the David Austin Red Rose looks beautiful love it , your plot looks fabulous this year very inspiring.

[@eliandkate]

I do love your lupins.... I am very tempted but I'm not sure I have the space.... so can I just adopt yours instead?

[@louloureads3953]

Those lupins are incredible! My plant is new this year, but I only have one flower so far which has been badly slugged. I’m doing my best to keep them away!

[@honoregale856]

Beautiful lush allotment. I did have a perennial flower bed on my allotment but the bind weed and couch grass is so invasive , sadly I had to dig it out this year. I am gradually converting beds to no dig and even with the cardboard down the bindweed and couch grass are are still poking through!!

[@michelleibbitson1205]

I've been wanting the David Austin Rose Munstead wood for some time now.. I used to have a few David Austin Roses .. I will have to buy that gorgeous red Rose! Lol 😆

[@adelacozlac366]

Such a beautiful, real garden! I love it!

[@davewilkes1657]

that was an interesting video of yours and looks like you got your work cut out with all the weeds I'll look forward to seeing your next video xx take care and be safe

[@carmenbailey1560]

Katrina your garden is definitely looking amazing, love the blue of your delphinium, your lupines and the Roses “ oh my “. I tried growing lupines, gay feathers and Iceland Poppies with no success, thinking the soil here isn’t compatible. You have come so far with your allotment, you should be very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍❤️😊

[@lizgarland2241]

Love your channel 🙏🍀💚🍀🇮🇪🙏🌼🌼🌼 just found you 🙂

[@amyjones2490]

Actually the best in show garden at Chelsea was a wild beaver dam garden full of grass and “weeds”. I welcome most weeds in my garden especially in early spring cuz the pollinators love them.

[@sandrabeauchamp4207]

They are beautiful 😻

[@zulu5282]

Stunning, what a beautiful time of year.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

A beautiful garden allotment tour Katrina with such lovely flowers and great to see flowers on the strawberries. I have a lot of flowers on my strawberries and berries are starting to develop so I will be getting a crop soon. It's a beautiful day as far as the weather is concerned. Have a good week 👍 and happy gardening.

[@romeisfallingagain]

great to see you back btw

[@joecanales9631]

Beautiful flowers! I enjoy your tours. Looks like you have many plants to put into the dirt. My greenhouse has been very good at housing my strawberries. Had a peak harvest late April to early May. They have settled on a a steady harvest of a handful or two daily. Since they grow in water, they tend to be very juicy, like biting into a strawberry juice. It takes a little getting used to it’s texture. Many of the plants outside are struggling this year. We have had an extended period of dry windy weather and in the middle of an exceptional drought. My wicking bed on the windy side of the house has stunted plants: tomatoes, peppers, and squash; while the leeward bed is doing better. I have the same plants plus bok choi. All these plants are trailing the ones inside the greenhouse. My roses (actually Evelyn’s roses, the previous homeowners) have been trimmed to naked sticks by the deer on one side. The big blueberry bush has also been trimmed in the middle with green berries remaining only at the top or bottom. Evelyn warned me not to feed the deer, but I haven’t been good at preventing the wildlife from eating. The deer also seem to have eaten all the sotol flowers. I ate one, it had a mild flavor with a hint of sweetness. It didn’t seem to have any detrimental effects. (Ate it the day before some deer stripped all the flowers from all the plants in the immediate area. I suspect a herd of deer). Except for my hillside where I planted my cherry trees, the countryside is brown. Even some of the mountain junipers are showing signs of stress. The pine forests in the higher mountains are on fire. We have had only a few days of calm winds which allowed containment of the fires, but it has been one of the worse fire seasons on record. Fortunately for us, the fires are not nearby. That’s the news from New Mexico. Thanks for sharing your garden! Always a joy to see a healthy garden!

[@DonMurrayYT]

Hi Kat, I’m growing Ricinus too this year, but I’ve put Amaranthus in too. Almost as impressive as the castor oil plant, (depending on the variety) but whole plant edible and the birds love the seeds, which are protein rich like quinoa. Your flowers are looking fantastic!

[@alicegorgeous]

What a beautiful plot 🌷🌾🌱

[@stevendowden2579]

I will be interested to see what you decide to do with your pansies, i cant decide either. ❤

[@osu041]

Such an amazing garden!

[@sallylunamoth5542]

Loved Every Second 🌸🌹🌺🌷🌼🌻🏵💖

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

having a parsnip or two for the flowers is a good idea. I don't like parsnips to eat, but adding to the variety of flowers for pollinators is good.

[@lassehansen7672]

Thanks for sharing the greatness in your allotment,, very very beautiful. Have fun with all the work - and I look forward to the update. I use my Carolina Reaper for paste, it's great for that. You can eat it fresh, but it's burning. Don't be affraid of it 😉, just use common sense and wash hands carefully :)

[@lemonlimey]

Great video as always!

[@tahoeblue2491]

Love your pink lupine. What is your secret to get lupine to bloom? Spring always amazes me to how fast weeds grow. I am always pulling weeds. Can’t wait to see all your seedlings planted.

[@das_moosmutzel696]

This tour was such a pleasure once again. 💚 I enjoy your videos so much. I feel the same as when I'm wandering around on my own allotment, admiring all the life that is striving around me. I feel such passion for it. 😍 I think that white "aquilegia" that you showed might be something else, though. I have astrantias in my garden that look suspiciously similar.

[@homegrowngarden]

Yes it’s aatrantia. I sometimes say the wrong plant when it begings with the same letter 😅

[@davidshinn6501]

@@homegrowngarden An allotment neighbour gave me some aastrantia plants and I always have to ask her what they are called.The aqueligias are taking over my back garden but they are so colourful for a few weeks. You've got a great mix of veg, fruit and flowers going on.

[@simonjandrell5897]

corolina reaper will be a intersting grow

[@dafyddrhobert2414]

Roses and foxgloves not out here yet. Rhododendrons and lupins blooming well. Annuals didn't germinate at all this year. That's what comes of northerly winds and many heavy rain showers in rural Wales at 1000 feet. Your Erigeron would be loved by my friend a hare who loves to eat daisy style flowers.

[@shirleyschamhardt7929]

Aqualegia was astrantia major i think

[@gtc2687]

Such a fantastic garden 🥰 Always a pleasure to watch your videos. As for 4'58" yellow flowers: aren't they 'Santolina Chamaecyparissus' or near?

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

A beautiful, fun and enjoyable tour as usual! However, this one gave me a few moments of anxiety and panic as you stuck your hand and nose right into a white spider when you were inhaling the scent of the Munstead Rose! As the tour continued, there were more encounters with Katrinas hand and hiding spiders....Oh my! Did you come away with any bites? Perhaps you are unbothered by the thought of the spiders...but I have a very uneasy relationship with them in my garden!

[@zoewhite7705]

Spiders aren't dangerous here in the UK. I think we do technically have some that bite, but it's very rare - I've never heard of it happening to anyone.

[@marniegaller4979]

Love your allotment. I’ve just managed to snag one in my area so very excited to get started! With your strawberry plants, do you replace them after 3 years? I’ve never heard you mention it in your videos and you always seem to have a great crop, so was just wondering ?💭

[@misakimei8715]

What exactly are allotments? Pieces of land ready for rent/sale?

[@marniegaller4979]
