Amazing sharing 🌷🌷

[@jaynemar1]

Welcome Home! Absolutely gorgeous Bride & Groom!

[@jonap5740]

I don't think I've ever seen such a tame robin! What a lovely harvest. Katrina, I don't think anyone who follows you judges the state of your plot. We just enjoy you enjoying it and living part of your life while letting us watch. See you next time!

[@rizesgardening]

Lovely potatoes & pumpkins! 😃

[@flowers_and_farls]

Congratulations, we have missed you though! 🥂🎉❤Your Ginkgo tree is looking so beautiful. Thank you for another great video and take your time to ease back in and enjoy your lovely plot 👩‍🌾

[@DonMurrayYT]

Congrats on your nuptials. Hope you had a great day. Good to see you back.

Here in Ontario I am often joined by our black capped chickadees. They are unafraid, and will often land a few inches away from me as I fill the bird feeder. If I've forgotten to refill it, they can also be persuaded to eat from my hand - but the only ever take one seed, fly away to eat it, and then return for more.

[@kfaulknerstudio]

Same for me in the northeast US, but I’ve never tried to feed them from my hand. Sounds adorable!

[@caylie47]

Our feathered Australian garden visitors are King Parrots which are so curious and they come up so close, Black Cockatoos, Crimson Rosella's and Kookaburras, Blue fairy wrens, Silvereyes and I even had a Powerful owl fly over my head the other morning.

[@kilianrussell9509]

Well done Katrina, great harvest... No harm to let things go in the garden once in a while, it will all come right in time. The wildlife prefers it that way and so should we....

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Katrina Thankyou for the visit. Great harvest very colourful. Looking forward to watching upcoming video re wedding. You and Yours looked lovely. Blessings to your new life together. Southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

[@lokisaz3368]

Here in Perth Western Australia we have willy wagtails that follow us around the garden same as your robins! My wagtail sits on me as I wander around :)

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Lovely to have you back 🥰 and those potatoes are amazing so vibrant 🥰 I love my Robin’s

[@hairyjohn5825]

It's good to be self-sufficient, especially now!

[@johnmitchell6527]

What a wonderful film. And it's heartening to know that when life takes you away for a while (congratulations, by the way!), a plot, despite the weeds and temporary neglect, can still turn up such wonderful veg. Thanks for sharing, and I'm sure you'll be back on top of things before long.

[@The_man_himself_67]

Congratulations and welcome back. I think your Robin friend missed you.😄

[@thomasreilly6362]

Congratulations on you wedding and a life of happiness to come 🥂. Time to prune back the old and plan for the future..

[@swedishrainbow_garden7672]

I’m in NC, USA and here we have hummingbirds that join in in the garden and beautiful goldfinches that are unafraid. The goldfinches love to eat the seeds from my lavender.

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Congrats on the marriage. Glad you’re back! X

[@farahkitchensecrets1394]

Wow amazing 😮 👏 thanks for sharing ❤

[@itsmewende]

So nice to see you're back, and had a lovely wedding...Italy, how wonderful. Your wedding photo so just gorgeous, I don't do social media, just YT, so happy you shared it here. Look forward to your upcoming posts. Your autumn harvest looks a feast for the eyes, so colorful. Love your robins, here in the states ours are not lovely little birds, just black and red. I have friendly dragonflies that hang out when I'm in the garden, I've had them land on me too.

[@maryalcock9451]

[@barrymorgan7215]

Congratulations to you both x

[@mismatchedsocksshop7227]

I live in Southeastern NC and all winter I have Canadian Geese on my patio! Fun for me and the granddaughters to watch, but drives my hound, Macey Reese, crazy. Their poop also looks like I'm raising a gaggle of puppies. ❤

[@tiffcat1100]

Gorgeous bride & groom! 💜❤️🥰❤️💜

[@nedomahony7711]

Best of Luck to you and your Husband It's great to have you back

[@paulhayward3231]

It's lovely yo have you back. The Bluebury bush looks fantastic .

[@JacquiQ]

Wow !! That wedding pic . can' t wait to see more and the wedding flowers !! You and the flowers look gorgeous 🧡💛

[@robertr7569]

In our garden we have white brested robins, a tiny bird with karki coloured body and small streaks of silver around their eyes that are known locally as silver eyes. Small honey eaters, blue wrens, wood pigeons, doves and a small bird called a fly catcher which makes a noise like electrical cable shorting out. We love living in our country town with so many small birds. Most of them are insect eaters so we do not put out bird seed. Instead we enjoy their company. 😊😁

[@marcuswhitmore6622]

Firstly, Massive Congratulations on your wedding. The colour of those potatoes is amazing, so vibrant. Good to see your Medaka fish are still doing well, they look nice and plump ready to slow down for the winter. Robins are my absolute favourite native bird.

[@KnitStitchGrow]

Aww, your robin pal is adorable. It looked like it was welcoming you back to the allotment ❤ what a beautifully autumnal veg and flower haul too, what an amazing colour those potatoes were

[@susiespearing6165]

Congratulations to you both 🎉 ❤

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Congratulations on your wedding, your photo is absolutely gorgeous. I love your channel and loved the flowers you were growing and still growing Your plot is really lovely, flowers are my favourite but enjoying growing vedge this year. Only took on our plot in June this year and we're really pleased with what we've achieved so far. Still growing and planting and using polytunnel to grow carrots, sprouts spring cabbage, lettuce and other plants also looking after some flower cuttings and storing vulnerable plants. My husband has been putting up a new shed as the old one was leaking and falling apart.Phew still loads to do as always but enjoying it. Danny@Thegrapevinegarden persuaded me to start a KZbin channel so I did only a couple of weeks into it so still learning but having great fun at The Feel Good Garden. Congratulations on your KZbin channel achievement 👏 Best wishes Linda

[@daiseegray9110]

Live in Michigan, the robin is our state bird. It looks a little different then your robin. Can’t wait see the flowers and wedding decorations 🌼🐝

[@RGB0703]

Hiii kat I'm so happy to see your back 😊 Congratulations to both of you 🎉❤

[@marthaevans8270]

I'm delighted to find you back at the allotment!

[@MikesAllotment]

Welcome back & huge congrats! Re the garlic - why not use the empty 20L potato buckets and spent potato compost to grow the garlic in buckets in the polytunnel? Add some fish blood & bone to re-vitalize the compost. Should be fine... 👍

[@rebearca]

In New Zealand the piwakawaka (fantail) hangs around close to us, they are really lovely little birds 😊

[@nopeynopeynope]

Huge congratulations to you. You looked beautiful in your dress, it was stunning.

[@tiffcat1100]

I love your robin 🥰

[@beata8092]

Congratulations 🎉❣️from Poland I love your canal in YT 👍

[@analizafuentes4084]

So happy to see that big smile on your face 😍😍😍 such a genuine happiness..Good to see you are back..❤️❤️❤️

[@mirandaandrea8215]

Beautiful,!❤

[@tammyyoung5279]

Congratulations and may you both have a happy and love-filled future together! You looked so beautiful in your bridal gown❤️ I’m in Australia, and I was very excited to see a Superb Fairy Wren in my front yard today, they’re so sweet. It must be mating season, as he was in his full blue-feathered regalia.

[@kfaulknerstudio]

Looking forward to the wedding flower video! 😍

[@stephenmckelvie2032]

Great harvest of spuds and beetroot.

[@uppanadam]

I think that Robin missed you!! :-)!!

[@kenpachizaraki9155]

Congratulations 🎊 👏 ❤

[@juliehickey1518]

Congrats Wilko is on line again.

[@homegrowngarden]

Yes, and now also stocked in The Range I believe! 👏

[@beagle7622]

Welcome Back , I missed you , Yes Florence is a beautiful place. As an Australian from Melbourne the country is not dissimilar to areas about 60 km NE of here.

[@aloras405]

My favorite bird that we get here in Colorado USA are the goldfinches. All my flowers were blooming until yesterday when we got about 8 inches of snow. I did get to dig my dahlias dug before I got too much snow. I have garlic to plant but I might have to put it in starting pots and growing it for a bit until it clears enough to plant it out.

[@pretendingimnot1484]

Great to see you back and congratulations on the wedding. I'd love your squash curry recipe if you're happy to share?

[@iraqiforever3665]

Nice to see you again..congratulations for your married ❤❤..here in IRAQ Autumn season is begin..it is season for harvest many many kinds of Dates and plant barley and after one month plant wheat.. actually because unique climate in Iraq..there are no off season ever ❤

[@cathysandercock8675]

Wonderful harvest! Here in Manitoba we have small Finches that can be grey/black multi or a lovely bright yellow and can be friendly near our feeders. Our Robins are quite a bit larger than yours, more aloof and only similarity is the red breast. 🇨🇦

[@Hhaahland4]

I knew you would look gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you did with the flowers you worked so hard to grow. In southern Australia the closest bird in my garden to your robin would be the New Holland Honeyeater, a little black and white bird with bright yellow on the wing. He flits all over the place sitting very close and follows me to different parts of the garden. Magpies can be very tame also, eating from your hand and bringing their babies.

[@mandytaylor1008]

Hi Katrina have been looking out for you as keen to see the wedding photos. We grew Picasso first time for main crop potatoes and they were huge but unfortunately lost half at least to slugs and early on rats but what we did have were amazing so will give them another go next year. Can’t wait for the photos.

[@stevendowden2579]

lovely to see you back what great harvest

[@carolineholland4178]

Lovely to see you back Katrina, it's great to see you reconnecting with your allotment, you've got a good harvest there. I understand that feeling of overwhelm and sadness after a break from the allotment. It will all be fine, the winter and the wildlife will take care and so will you, step by step. You have had a busy and productive year well worth celebrating. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Foy! Wishing you both a lifetime of joy, blessed with all that your heart's desire.

[@riettedevilliers6592]

Congrats Darling. Soo happy for you in your new adventure in life as a Mrs Looking forward to many more beautiful days with you, Robin and the garden 🌻🐾🐾🌻

[@georgemartin9618]

It's great to have you back Katrina or should I call you Mrs Foy . Congratulations on your marriage and best wishes for the future to you both. I'm gonna get me some of them there Java potatoes for next year they look so distinctive. Hope you managed to sneak home some nice packets of seeds from Italy. Welcome back .

[@kerryfirehorse]

Congrats & best wishes 🍀💜🌸

[@PlantNative]

Here in New Jersey, I’ve hand-fed Tufted Titmice, Black-Capped Chickadees & Downy Woodpeckers with a lot of patience in the winter.

[@anainasen]

Congratulations on your nuptials, you and your husband look lovely! Looking forward to see more of the flower arrangements, they look good in the pictures. I also look forward to see how much of the garden you clean in autumn, and what you leave for spring.

[@Sean.hinchlffe]

At least you had a small dry spell. Here in Huddersfield it’s still raining.

[@hamisgulyas]

Congrats for your marriage!

[@tiffcat1100]

If everything was immaculate I very much doubt I would be following ;) Relatable is encouraging for people like me ❤

[@cherylsanatore7631]

So happy for you! Glad to see you back on your allotment!❤

[@elainemcgran8828]

I'm watching this on the 29th of October. I'm in the southeast of Ireland, and mine are still going strong I always leave them in the ground unless I'm splitting them. My garden thinks it's spring again , I cut so much back the end of August because I was / had a hip replacement and thoughtI'dget the gardens cleanedup , then 2 weeks ago I started getting the garden ready for planting spring bulbs added compost, feed and mulched everything, now everything is growing again I even have a second lot of sweet peas that are in flower after cutting them right back in August ( i nev6take the roots out as its good for the soil ) Next year, I won't b cutting anything back or putting the garden furniture away so early . I'm going to plant my garlic in long window boxs during the week it does very well for me.

[@kuchdilsecreationsbysonali9605]

Congratulations and eagerly waiting for the wedding pics and ur robin is as sweet and adorable as you ❤❤

[@martynb123]

Hi Katrina, that was more snake than earthworm! The Robins in our garden always go for the wriggly orange centipedes you find when you turn the soil. Lovely beetroots and spuds,amazing how neglected crops can do so well!

[@ClaytonYuen]

Thanks!

[@OurHollywoodLife]

Congratulations 🥂

[@alisoncutland7409]

Great to see you back and can’t wait to see the wedding video. My own allotment is overwhelming me at the moment and you have made me feel so much better about that.

[@honoregale856]

Welcome back! You looked gorgeous in the brief clip at the beginning of the video. Look forward to seeing the future videos.

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Lovely to see you back Katrina! Saw your wedding photo on instagram. You looked stunning!!! You'll have to ease back into your allotment slowly, a little each time you get there. You'll soon get it sorted again. The rats have pulled all my bulbs up, so the chicken wire is going on again!

[@davewilkes1657]

Hi Katrina nice to see your videos again you look very happy been married hope you stay safe and take care

[@2swans1960]

Congratulations on your wedding. Looking forward to seeing photos.

[@fionasaunders7646]

Congratulations , I am pleased for you and look forward to your wedding videos! 🎊, Hope you manage to buy your own home ,with huge garden and a cellar , very soon. Greetings from Zimbabwe !

[@salihsamiracar]

Congratulations and we wish you happiness. May Allah give You have a long lasting marriage!

[@carolblackler9386]

Hello ❤. Congratulations on your wedding 💒. We have Dunnocks and blackbirds in our garden. They bring us both great joy.❤😊❤.

[@andyc972]

Nice to see you back Katrina, somehow I knew you must have been busy the last couple of months ! The plot doesn't look too bad considering, I'm sure you'll get caught up in time, but as you said it does get harder as the days get shorter, our site closes it's gates before dusk so we've been unable to go after work since September despite there still being many courgettes, beans and tomatoes to pick ! Your Dahlias look Fab, ours are looking a little tired now especially those being dug up by our resident manic squirrel !

[@gardentours]

Congratulations 🌷🌸💐🌺🌹

[@Michael-qj4vj]

Here in Nova Scotia, Canada I get a lot of Bluejays. They're usually fighting with the red squirrels.

[@skypeace2024]

Here in barrie Ontario Canada we have robins also, they love to make their nest under the roof of my swing.
