[@jacquim8907]

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 🥰

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!

[@corinnerees1135]

My favourite Sunday evening viewing 🙂

[@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 💚

[@janreynolds3794]

All your hard work has paid off!

This has been the best video I’ve seen for starting a cottage garden! Thanks I’ve been searching for months for this information and the visual you supplied. Happy I found your video!

[@DaintyDiaries]

So happy you got value from it x

[@lilmorningglory]

Love how you've created such a calm and peaceful space! It's beautiful. 🤍

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you! 😊

[@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!

[@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

[@kimchristianson4743]

your efforts are paying off. Thank you for the update. Also, I am impressed that you manage to stay tidy when working in white or light clothing. I am such a mess when I garden.

[@erenalovicollier8523]

Great journey from the beginning.🇳🇿👍💐😃 Smiles from down under.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much 😀

[@cathybroome7586]

Maybe this will give you and me hope. Watch when you are able.😊

[@carolynbrotherton4599]

Great garden. Incredibly hands on. Johannesburg South Africa.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Carolyn x

[@kreh1100]

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

[@mwillis7791]

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

[@angelickrol7701]

This was so encouraging thank you. I just started a new flower bed and this was inspiring and lovely. Now I look forward to a year from now, my pile of dirt could be the start of something lovely.

[@charlottewilson4680]

I love the hedge hole door.

[@elizabethbaker3162]

The garden looks great, I like gardening as well it's very relaxing.

[@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 🍂

[@chrisgogreve8743]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw thanks so much for watching ♥️

[@bethwhite2857]

Your garden is just lovely 🤠

[@MsArtistwannabe]

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

[@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.

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

Lovely. I watched the beginning of your garden so it’s nice to see where it’s at!

[@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!

[@Mejiaelis]

Was that Pepsi in the picture? RIP Pepsi ♥️

[@DaintyDiaries]

🙏🏼🥰 yes it was x

[@vasilikiskoura1017]

Hello from Greece . I like your video very much. 🌹

[@ringevalmarie-line558]

You are very busy for this pretty garden. It IS fabulous...

[@frances7099-i6u]

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

[@Tarot_Time_with_Belle]

1) how the heck do you stay so clean? 2) you’re doing amazing! I think you’d enjoy salvia shrubs. They come in every colour you could imagine. Cut back down low each spring when you see the new growth coming through and you get lush green growth and colour from March/April to October

[@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 :)

[@lv1689]

I love your Garden and your handy work. LV from USA

[@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!!

[@patkee8517]

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

[@andreasharp2135]

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

[@annmargaretwatts6474]

I absolutely loved this video. Thank you.😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Glad you enjoyed it! x

[@lesleycoren249]

All the hard work has paid off well done fun to watch...

[@peggynorton5535]

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

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Peggy 🥰

[@lindaphillips7936]

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

[@tiinathelightwhisperer]

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

[@eprohoda]

Daintty~ that's splendid -🤚

[@DaintyDiaries]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@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

[@raj4558]

Your garden is such a amazing and beautiful 😍

[@kreh1100]

Wow I'm impressed, what fun!! Just wish I had her energy. Beautiful job!!!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much Cliff x

[@jaynebatstone7746]

Lovely Catherine, it has been so hot that my poor garden looks like it does at the end of September!

[@christinephillips2069]

Your garden is beautiful

[@janclark1894]

Your hard work paid off, it looks amazing 👏 😍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@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.

[@hasnabegum8811]

Lovely garden. Enjoy your hard work

[@chrispeterson3647]

You are SO inspiring!!!

[@laurarichards6288]

Your green house is great!

[@cathleensmith4717]

I love love love your garden!

[@jenaemarieAZ]

I put in a couple of pollinator watering systems. For the littlest insects who might drown in a deeper pond. I just placed a couple of ceramic chargers filled with pebbles and water in my garden. Being Arizona, though, I get to fill them up everyday.

[@kittybabymm]

Beautiful transformation.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Polly 🥰

[@dianestephenson8528]

You might enjoy watching Jeri Landers and Hopalong Hollow. She is an artist/author of childrens books that is also a gardener. She chronicles her gardens. Charming. Also sets her table for tea using an assortment of tea cups, etc. she’ll follow a theme usually. She’s always trying something different in her garden. Check her out. Fun videos.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you for sharing, I just subscribed x

[@thepickledpixie9052]

Excited to follow your progress! I'm also starting from scratch here in Scotland. I recently moved house and inherited a "garden" that's entirely covered with old broken slabs, just laid on soil. I've had privacy fences put up, started lifting the slabs to find heavy clay soil. 😫 So off we went to the stables to collect some bags of well rotted manure to start improving the soil.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw best of luck! Honestly, the work is the rewarding part, its hard but I love the process, have fun!

[@daniellagut72]

Just amazing Catherine. 😘❤

[@shericampbell8675]

You are amazing! What a beautiful garden. Just love 💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you so much!

[@wildflowerwind6941]

You are always busy with a project whether that is inside the house or outside.

[@Jo.H.]

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

[@jocaudill5764]

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

[@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.

[@julie_uk_]

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

[@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]
