Spring Finally Arrives in the Last Homely Garden! #13

[@joycemcbride2458]

Kate’s going to have a lot of Zinnias labeled Scabious. When they bloom, what a sweet surprise she will have!

[@esthersutton815]

Agree

[@mariehansen2534]

I was calling out to her but as I was on the LGS, she didn't hear me. It will look really nice anyhow.

I just want to step through the screen with a cup of tea and spend a lovely, quiet hour in your garden listening to the birds.

How lovely to have this gorgeous place to sit and drink ice tea enjoy the flowers and listen to the birds❤

I cant help but wish i was there as well. Too bad we cant all get together and have tea!

I feel like I’m sitting in the garden with a friend when I watch your videos, Kate. You have such a calm and peaceful demeanor that one can’t help but be at peace watching and listening to you talk about what you love.

There is nothing like God"s beautiful creation. When our hands are busy, our minds find peace and rest. What a glorious day you had!

I just recently came across your channel. Thank you I am a gardener who cannot get out and do what anymore.😊

Oops! The first 'Scabious' were from the Zinnia packet 🙈 Hilarious how I was shouting at the TV 🤣

so many people caught that - we only saw it when we were editing the video! xxx

I’ve been stuck in hospital since mid Feb with a nasty form of leukaemia. As a very outdoorsy person it’s been extremely tough. I miss my garden ( and my long walks) but I’m very much enjoying yours instead. Thank you for sharing it in all it’s beauty x

I hope Anna realizes how blessed she is to have a mother in law that loves her. Mine didn’t like me from day one, but I was always respectful of her. I could have learned so much from her, it makes me so sad.

[@mandycoleman3206]

Mine either...I stole her son 😮

[@v.maiden483]

So sad she missed out.

[@lynetteledoux2845]

I had a wonderful mother-in/by-law who was so good to help in the house, cook and clean.

[@horsenroundstudio]

I am so envious of your clean beds and organization of everything! The birds' eye view is incredible. This is so inspirational. Hoping to finally get things cleaned up here in June and just buy starts to be able to grow a few things.

[@jaynegodfrey1117]

Such a beautiful garden ❤️ it’s been a mixed bag of weather here too. I’ve potted up quite a lot of seeds, I love seeing them emerge. Thank you Kate for sharing your lovely garden 😊

[@heathertucker7056]

How we are appreciating the warmth of the sun after a depressing winter! I loved spending time in your lovely garden today!

You're such an inspiration to me, Kate, from your crafting to your comfortable, homely home, to your love for all things gardening and nature. ❤ Thank you

[@VenessaOliver-lb9fw]

I've watched the vid and read the comments and it's turned a bad day happy. Kate, you reach out through your channel to all corners of the world and in doing that you bring such joy. You touch hearts and I am so greatful for that❤ Thank you❤

[@TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw]

I am so pleased! always enjoy your day! each one is a treasure! xxx

[@margaretberryman6260]

So nice to view this video again. Here in Australia we're entering the middle month of winter. What a lovely surprise to turn over your calendar and see the Seed Packet quilt while the weather here is a bit cold. Sunny today, but quite cold. So beautiful to see those colourful flowers on your quilt on the calendar!

[@jughead6709]

Oh Kate I love your garden videos! Will look forward to more as our warm months go on.

[@SUGPIAQBARBIE]

Oh my! Totally love! We were out 6 hours in our gardens. 54!F We have a green roof. The biggest thing is adding enough soil so you can water well in dry seasons. I planted mine for years but it never took off cause I got to busy with other summer things. Our green roof is over a chicken house. It grows baby birch trees😅

[@cynjader1914]

It's so wonderful to see so much blooming in your garden and to hear the birds singing and bees buzzing! Thank you for sharing, Kate! I look forward to your green roof on the cabin :)

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

“A Sedum Roof……did I hear You Right?”……HOW ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

[@TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw]

yes! I ordered everything yesterday!!! I'm so excited! xxx

[@jansmith2846]

I'm sure Ant knows that the existing roof needs to be able to take the weight of the compost especially when wet 😊 I know someone who's roof collapsed!!

[@singing-bird]

How delightful to come in from playing in my garden to enjoy seeing you playing in yours. Those of us with a little plot of land to call our own are so blessed!

[@CindyArnold-e5t]

Kaffe Fassett could have a Spring collection of fabrics based on your beautiful garden. Well done, friend.

[@durgles2306]

What a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing it with us. The drone shots are the best to show off this amazing garden.

[@TheLastHomelyGarden-xw7tw]

thank you so much! I'll tell Anna - she is my drone driver! xxx

[@Loridye3605]

Your garden is beautiful, Kate and the birds sound so cheerful. Thank you so much for sharing it with us here on KZbin. I so enjoy seeing you here and on the Last Homely House. You bring a ray of sunshine to my day♥️

[@alicemoline698]

Lovely visit. Thank you. So, you live in a zone 8. No wonder your garden is flourishing. We live in zone 4-5, and our iris are still in their budding stage. Thank you so much for sharing your garden and tunnel with us. The drone shots were great. It gives us a better perspective of where everything is. You have a rather large yard to care for and many planting boxes. How fortunate. We have such poor soil, that I can't even grow mint!!!!!!! I never need to worry about it taking over my garden. And YES, it is GREAT to have help in the garden...........Can't wait for the next garden shots when the green roof goes on. What a stellar idea. Blessings to you from New Hampshire in the US.

Kate, your garden is beautiful! It is so great that you can get outside and enjoy it and start planting seeds. I can't wait to see you and Ant start on the green roof for the cabin. What a marvelous idea. I will be watching for more garden videos. Take care and enjoy the sunshine. ❤😊

[@JillianJames-iv9lw]

Enjoy. Oops you did plant Zinnia's first. Nevermind it'll be a nice surprise! On the veg front I'd recommend Hamburg parsley. You can eat the tops like parsley and roots are like parsnip. Fantastic dual purpose plant. We grew them in raised beds first and they were a huge success!

[@LauraThompson-v4r]

Watching your videos causes all my anxiety to go away. You and Anna are lovely. Thank you for the peace you give me. ❤ I’d love to just come and be your student! But don’t worry, I’ll stay here in the US. 😀

What a beautiful season. I just like listening to you.

[@lisaulrich8549]

Very inspirational video! I have recently moved to a property here in Michigan where the planting season starts the end of May. I want to start the seeds early inside but I like the hoop greenhouse setup you have and will try something similar. This year I started chili pepper seeds just to give it a try. Love your energy here and have subscribed to both your channels!❤

Here ion the central coast of California we are having a very overcast April into May and very cool days. . I love your garden and the cabin that you and Ant built. Happy gardening 🌻🧡

[@gigglegiggles3189]

The poly tunnel. Such good memories

[@pebblecritter]

I can't believe I've never heard of a green roof! I am SOOO excited to see this come to life (literally!) - what a fantastic idea! I don't know how you come up with the ideas you do, but I consider myself a creative but you far outdo me (and inspire me greatly!). You have such a lovely family and it is, as you said, so wonderful to have that little bit of help and company when you're doing a big job like the poly-tunnel (which, by the way, looks pretty spiffy since you power washed it!). Thank you as always and I can't wait to see more of the cabin - we've all watched it take shape so I know I feel like I'm a little invested in it! 🤣 much love - xx

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I love your garden, such beautiful flowers. I love my Penstemon barbatus, it is a hummingbird magnet. My giant hyssop gets crazy numbers of very tame bees. I am eating my late winter greens, but my summer greens are coming along nicely. I planted 4 bitty native plum seedlings, 2 have leafed out already, yay! The 2 on the sw side. The 2 on the ne side haven't leafed out yet. I haven't planted a lot yet, my raised beds are pretty full of perennial edibles. Asparagus are over and one is seeding out.

[@turtlewoman13]

Kate, I've often wondered why your gardens seem to be so much ahead of mine here in the northwest corner of the lower peninsula of Michigan. You just answered my question when you said you are in Zone 8. We are just barely in Zone 6. That being said I am thrilled to have a new podcast of The Last Homely Garden to watch on this cold (53F)and rainy day in MI.

[@mrsplumbridge4888]

Such a joy to finally see a bit of dryness in your garden Kate. It's the same here 😊 lifts the spirit thank you

[@suebarner8364]

Thanks for sharing Kate! I miss my garden, so it’s lovely to share yours.

[@VictoriaOliver-j9u]

I absolutely love your garden videos Kate! I have a balcony’s apartment. On my balcony I can fit a lemon tree, herbs and rain lilies. But when spring comes I’ll plant some Zinnias in my big pot. It’s just starting to get cold here in Aotearoa ( New Zealand), so am thrilled to watch your garden as it turns to spring. It’s so lovely to know in the North you’re all coming out of the cold and enjoying the warmth. A bit like your bees Kate! 😂

[@carmenbailey1560]

Certainly a very busy time of year, love gardening ,but as I age it’s less time spent before my body that’s enough for today. Thanks for sharing your time doing gardening chores. 👍❤️🙂

[@krisnugent1250]

I've been pulling my own ground elder out. But also moving a cement bench to a new view under a tree and expanding some beds to have room for cutting flowers and honey berries. I do enjoy a good putter around when it's not over 26 celsius (I converted for you). It gets rather hot and humid around the Chicago area by mid June so I work like a fiend now so I can take it slower in the heat. Looking forward to the roof project.

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello from the USA Kate…what a delightful video and what a dear person you are…thank you for sharing.

[@pamlacey136]

Such a lovely video! I am envious of the fact that you can get down on your knees to plant things. My knees won’t allow that without lots of pain, so I don’t do that. I may try to get one of those small benches that I see people use though so that might work for me. Thanks for sharing all of your garden beauty. I could watch your videos for hours!

[@jacobsladderpa]

Green zippy things had me thinking of “wibbly wobbly timey whimey things” Nice to see you Kate!

[@goldenfd475]

I'm in the Welsh valleys on the side of a valley. Only enough space outside for a few plants and a mini greenhouse but just down the road I have an allotment with my daughter. What a year it has been here; were are on our third attempt at getting our seeds going as it has been so cold and wet and on two occasions the storms blew the little greenhouse over with all the tiny seedlings in it! Still we have finally got some things in the ground and are hoping for better weather now we are halfway through May. The allotment is my happy place next to a little river and lovely to just sit and listen to all the birds etc. This year we are hoping to turn our little tin hut into a "tea room" so that we can spend the morning down there.

[@knackfulknitter]

Alright then…I’m caught up with The Last Homely Garden. My weather in Washington State (USA) is so similar to yours. I see I need a greenhouse… Your mint tea sounds so good. I have a 35 year old chocolate mint plant and the tea is super. Until next time, Kate. 💕

Thank you for both your channels. Its so peaceful. These are my favorite. You are loved and appreciated!!!!

[@marticote3442]

I don’t have much of a green thumb, but watching this video makes me want to try again!

[@seaside2001]

You should be able to plant the zinnia seeds directly into the garden. We do in Canada and they grow like weeds. I like to scatter plant mine and put a thin layer of potting soil on top. Saves the step of pre-planting in the greenhouse and then having to plant them again out in the garden. They are very hardy robust and dead simple to grow. I often mix 3 or 4 varieties together and the result is a surprise and very nice surprise.

[@normawingo5116]

It’s so nice knowing that I’m busy with the same sorts of garden tasks currently. It a great joy of mine, the garden. Happiest of spring to you.

I love watching your podcast as well as one closer in vicinity to me, “Garden Answer” from Ontario, Oregon. Ant is fun to watch as well. Kate, I had a pond at my last home and loved it. I hope you see all sorts of nature’s miracles in your pond over the years. I liked mine for the entomology-no fish, no birds. Enjoy John’s head rubs! I love you! 😊❤️👍
