Good thing no one could hear me squealing upon seeing those precious new blooms😍... I'd probably have my man card revoked. 😂 Eternal Love and Gratitude 🙏✌️❤️🌞🐶

[@OurCottageGarden]

Haha I'm so glad I wasn't alone!!

[@penultimateh766]

So nice to see our host delighted by her garden. I have a few of those Japanese irises and they're the most colorful perennials I have.

[@OurCottageGarden]

That vibrant blue color is my favorite!! :)

[@claytontramel9554]

Find someone who looks at you the way Anna looks at her garden

[@joenord68]

💐🌺🍄🪷 Such a gorgeous garden Anna! No relation with the garden but I love the real voice and the no make-up look. Simply natural like your stunning outdoor. Take care my dear! 😎😎😎

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you! :)

[@efcwafc]

I LOVE your garden videos. Any weather. Any info. And I LOVE Georgie (also how long is your hair now) so pretty. Keep those videos coming please. They make me happy and calm. ❤️

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aw I'm so glad!! :)

[@splitrockhomestead]

You are so uplifting! I think you might be somewhere up near me, judging by that spring snow storm 😅

[@cherylhaynes2552]

We always get excited when our trees start putting out buds.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Oh me too!! :)

[@stevensawyer5924]

Great mines think alike. 😊 That was my first thought, with all those rocks maybe you could paint the names on some.🤔😏

[@lindseybush2775]

I just love your garden videos Anna, thank you so much for taking the time to show us round. For garden channels I love homegrown garden - she has a very wildlife friendly allotment plot in Nottingham UK and Jeri Landers Hopalong Hollow - she has the most amazing cottage garden, inspired by English gardens but based in US. I'm just waiting for the endless rain to stop here in Northern England so I can get going with my garden, so many of my spring bulbs including my iris and crocus rotted over a very wet winter. But that's the beauty of gardening, you can always start again 😊. Much love to you x

[@brendapolar8506]

Anna your garden video has lifted my spirits in ways I cannot describe. Thank you.!🙏🏼💜🌈🙌🏼💐🌷🌹

[@mansfield821]

I cnt wait to have our home in the woods. Its so peaceful.

[@jordanaward717]

Can wait to do my garden again this summer,to plant ,flowers,small trees & plants

[@OurCottageGarden]

Me neither :)

[@innatelyindigo]

You sound like me "EEEEEEEE look at that flower!" I have learned so much from Garden Answer but I would love to find more channels I like. I just haven't found any I vibe with though.

[@aprilk569]

I love the idea of painting plant names on the rocks 🥰 One of my neighbors has little wooden signs with plant names burned into the wood, which is cute and natural looking as well. This video was so inspirational for me! I moved to a new planting zone last year and had so many garden fails that I'm gun-shy about starting again. Hopefully I'll have more success with sticking to native wildflowers that (hopefully) won't get scorched in the hot Iowa sun 😅

[@OurCottageGarden]

Ooh the wooden signs with names burned in the wood is SUCH a good idea!! :)

[@salate0000]

Love all of your channels

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you! I'm so glad!!

[@JM_Rosebranch]

I so adore your garden/lifestyle videos! I live in an area with very long winters, too. Those tiny baby flowers are life-giving after months of dormancy. Nothing better than getting back in the garden 🌷.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Yes!! :)

[@mansfield821]

Awh George is adorable!

[@jerryp1970]

This is the very first video I've watched on this channel and it simply made me love you all that much more. ❤

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww :)

[@mansfield821]

Loving the gardening videos. Im so xcited for spring & summer! Here in NC its starting to get warm.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww I'm so jealous :)

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Oh my gosh, Georgie is so precious. She’s so lucky to have you for her mama, too. You can just feel how much you love her ❤🐾❤🐾❤

[@mansfield821]

Oh wow all that snow! Thats crazy beautiful.

[@OurCottageGarden]

:)

[@soundpilatesandyoga8531]

I love what looks like a home made stick fence!??! How did you make it? Did you gather sticks from your property? Then dug holes for the stick poles? Did you use nails for the rows of sticks? Im so going to do this on my property! Im in the PNW and have very little sun. So, with lots of shade I have hundreds of ferns. Thats about all I can grow! Lol. I want to know about plant tags as well. I have a ton of rocks too and like your idea.

[@mansfield821]

The ForgetMeNots are so pretty! Such a deep blue.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Plant tags - Slices of wood sealed with "wipe on poly". wipe on poly is thinned down polyurethane.

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

You would probably enjoy any of the programmes uploaded onto KZbin presented by Carol Klein or Alys Fowler. I am about to start filming my wildlife cottage garden here in Wales for my channel if you want to take a peek. I love Monalogue also and Claus Dalby's garden in Denmark is amazing! I bought slate plant markers for our veg garden which look really pretty

[@Teeb00lee]

I love your channel! You might enjoy Flower Patch Farmhouse.

[@margieanne9328]

Flower Patch Farmhouse and she's a mad gardener are 2 of my favorite gardening channels.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Oh I don't know either of those!! I'll definitely check them out :)

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Garden Answer is a wonderful gardening channel, too! It’s run by Laura & Aaron & they are wonderful, down to earth, people with a beautiful family. If you don’t already watch them, I would highly recommend checking them out, too! 😊

[@mariop3353]

Such a beautiful garden.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww thank you :)

[@bhavananayer]

I've just started viewing the videos you upload here on this channel and they're so cosy and comforting! Love your positive energy ✨️

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aw I'm so glad!! Thank you for being here :)

[@deborahphillips1909]

A ton of love there so beautiful and awesome great living I'm sure !!!!!

[@mansfield821]

Flowers are so pretty!

[@OurCottageGarden]

I can't wait for all of the blooms this year :)

[@emese_p]

I’ve just started watching but I wanted to say 30seconds in I already love it because I can see Georgie❤I’m so so glad she is well and moving and doing her thing🥺

[@emese_p]

Getting further in the video😂I’ve recently came across clay plant tags, and you could even make them if you have access to a kiln (or search etsy, I think I’ve seen them there). In my area (I live in Hungary), dog-rose is my favourite native flowery bush, and we have some interesting native wildflowers, like woundwort, perennial flax❤, Hungarian widow flower (which has the most beautiful ball flowers :D) and the list goes on :))

[@grow_wild]

Thanks for taking us along Anna! Cedar shims from the hardware store can be stuck right in the soil and last for a few years at least. You can burn or paint on the names. Aluminum tags work well for trees, they are available from orchard suppliers or Fruition Seeds. They last forever after you scratch in the names of the plan with a pencil. For other garden channels, check out Flock Finger Lakes, Alys Fowler's series called "The Edible Garden", Northlawn Flower Farm, Huw Richards, Native Plant Channel, Skillnadens/Sara Backmo, The Perennial Garden/Staudehaven and Over the Fence Landscape Tours.

[@MotherEarth_ASMR]

LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL! I finally started my channel :) - raising money for a non-profit first and then going to switch over to pregnancy and motherhood- I’m so grateful for your guidance. I love you so dearly.

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

Really enjoyed watching this, so tranquil and relaxing. Thank you for sharing Anna! Cheers from North Carolina! PS, we love Georgie 💖

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

Anna this vlog exude fun vibes 🍀✨. I love that your dog wanted to accompany you. She's the perfect helper. I think everything is off to a great start with your spring garden. Still can't believe you are getting snow at this time of year. But Life is gonna be blooming all over your garden. Keep up the great work my friend!

[@yuriemac8146]

Excellent video, nice gift! Your joy, excitement and smile is so satisfying and relaxing to see. Thanks for sharing!

[@cherylhaynes2552]

Okay, Anna, you woke up my gardening bug. I don’t have a big property and most of my stuff has to be done in planters. So today we went to the store and got planters plus soil and mulch to supplement our small compost plot. Also got seeds for veggies and two hydrangea bushes. Still lots to do, but we cleaned out around our peach tree (which is putting out leaves - yay!) and planted some native wild flowers. Our iris are getting ready to bloom. We also saw our first ladybug!

[@kathymoore7577]

After watching your gardening videos, I get so inspired to work on my garden. ❤

[@user-dy5ho4sj2w]

George is the sweetest girl 😆

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww isn't she? :)

[@zarasaba7864]

More of these please and thank you ❤

[@jodiearrington]

Another great channel is her86m2....

[@Jim_biis]

HI ANNA!! Hope all is very well!!

[@OurCottageGarden]

Hi Jim! Thanks for coming over :)

[@sonnysome3201]

I'd definitely recommend Regenerative Gardening with Blossom and Branch Farm for more sustainable gardening ideas. I love watching your garden developing😍. I live in Finland so long winters are very relatable. I get insane with the reticulatas and crocuses as well.

[@michellesleaford4748]

I’ve just come across Joyful Garden on you tube, recommend it. Your garden is beautiful

[@tyche767]

I love monalogue :) My favourite one although I am from Poland. And I loooove watching you!

[@tyche767]

And also - The Middle-Sized Garden - it is truly amazing!

[@jodyfriedman3302]

Love the Spring blooms!!

[@Joy-zp5lv]

I´m new to your channel. Isn´t it great how the sun and the first blooms in Spring can lift our moods? I love your excitement. I´m the same. You mentioned some of the channels I watch as well. Do you know Dainty Diaries? Oh, and I discovered a new one the other day: Dearest Garden. Most of my inspiration I get from Pinterest. I´m in Germany and one plant that grows here like weed (actually it is a weed 😂) are wild carrots. I have them everywhere (since I ignored them one summer 😅). But they look sweet in a bouquet with roses. And I also have Forget me nots all over the place. I acutally love self seaders. They bring life and movement in my garden. (And they are free.) Happy Spring! 💕🌱🌷🌱💕

[@OurCottageGarden]

I LOVE wild carrots!! Any umbellifers are so whimsical :)

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Linda Vater channel on youtube. Horttube is also a great KZbin channel.

[@aseasonalabode]

Northlawn flower farm! I love gardening as well 😊 What zone are you in?

[@OurCottageGarden]

Oh I'll check her out :) I'm in zone 5! What about you?

[@aseasonalabode]

@@OurCottageGarden I'm zone 6a and just made a video on my gardening plans for this year.

[@Lala.H.R]

Beautiful peaceful place Ana

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww thanks :)

[@francineh.7825]

Aww Georgie ❤ Sigh...I still have snow. Can I ask about your fence at timestamp 11:45...how did you anchor the main vertical poles? Just in the ground, or with a rock base? I need to create something like this to keep out my deer friends.

[@OurCottageGarden]

For the main part of our fence we used concrete, but for the branch and bough fence we didn't use anything. Just dug them in about 2 feet. We have heavy clay soil, and it's served us well thus far. However, if you're blessed with better soil than us it might not be a great idea :)

[@francineh.7825]

@@OurCottageGarden Thanks for letting me know! No clay just rocky soil. Oh and for gardening channels I watch all the ones you mentioned as well as Lovely Greens. And of course yours!
