Transforming the Overgrown Hedge / Homegrown Garden

[@rebeccawhite6607]

get a deck up behind the shed then you can have storage under it and you can sit up there with the view and enjoy your tea x

Last time i bought bird seed, on checking out I asked the cashier if they knew how long after planting id have some birds ;) They were not amused. Good to see that your 'weapons ready' lol

[@michaellippmann4474]

Nicely done young lady! You do not need a gym membership! Always look forward to your videos! Thank you from Canada! Mike😀👍

[@beverleysimmons7885]

Oh if only I could move there. We are -10 and snow near my gardens are up to my knees. Those projects have to take place in fall or April for us. It looks SO MUCH BETTER. What a view.

[@GardentheNorth]

I could not without a sawzall! 🥵You are one tough chick! Well done!! No where near redundant🥰

[@lizzibrown1]

It's not a corner of shame, it is a resource area ;) I live in Sydney and we don't get down to anywhere close to your temperatures (minimum of 8-10 in the middle of winter) so seeing the frost up close was lovely. Thank you for sharing that.

[@marisaromeo3949]

Thank you for giving us a wider view of your allotment. This vlog reminds me of the great fatigue that took me to clean and tidy up my cottage in Piemonte (Italy). And the effort is still going on. But every minute I spend there is a blessing. Right now it's full of snow.. So...have a good Sunday, can't wait to see more videos! 🌾🌿🌻🐞💕

[@brendaalonso4914]

It seriously looks so good. It will make the sunsets just that much more breathtaking.

[@abbey5574]

So grateful for Penny and her willingness to help!!🥰

[@musichem81]

Brilliant job! My plot has become very overgrown and untidy whilst my brother was ill with cancer. I’ve been lacking the motivation to get it straight again because there is so much to do. I’ve only come across your channel this week and what you have done on your plot is so inspirational. Really enjoyed your videos and your plot is beautiful. Love how you take care of the wildlife too. Seeing what you have achieved has made me excited to do my plot again!! Looking forward to seeing more videos x

[@stevensloan6915]

Your videos are so inspirational. I put you on pause. Then I went out and trimmed my hedges. Came back in and finish watching you. Thank you. I look forward to your videos.

Wow! Good job! It has definitely increased the beautiful view. Looking forward to seeing the regrowth and how you develop it.

[@valoriegriego5212]

Wow, great view...job well done. The birds will be happy...more light, more plants, more bugs for them to munch on.🙂 Continue to get done all those tasks you have desired to do because soon you will have another excellent job that won't give you as much time in your beautiful secret garden. Love the hat and cozy sweater...take care!🙂

[@marcusseidel4088]

Well done ! I always cut back the ivy hedge in April. I cut it off quite severe ...but already in may I have fresh growth ... I spontaneously think you could plant honeysuckle to this hedge ... Nice flowers , red berries for the birds to feed If you cut back the hedge ...the Honeysuckle becomes more bushy . I have planted honeysuckle to an older hedge of ligustrum with ivey ...the end result was fantastic. I highly recommend . Kind regards from Belgium .

[@mysideofthemountain5563]

ive been following you for about a year now and I must say I have always liked your channel but it was never my favourite gardening channel until recently. I really look forward to seeing your garden grow and I especially appreciate that you don't try to be a "how to" channel. I just want to see peoples gardens and that's what you do, love it. You have passed Charles Dowding on my all time favourite gardening channel list, so congrats on that!

[@nicholaceho9679]

I have been amazed with the quick germination of the straw flowers. I bought a heat pad and sowed them 08th Jan 2021. They are all up and I have them under a grow light. They are really doing well. You inspired me to grow them.

[@homegrowngarden]

I found the same too and with very successful germination rates! 👏🏻

[@NWMissourigardener]

Great job your new view is wonderful. The added light should improve your planting in that area. Thanks for sharing 🧑‍🌾 from NW Missouri

Set a chair below the bird feeder and sit in it and put the seeds on your shoulders and on the arm's of the chair when they come put some seeds on your upper legs so this for a week then only the chair arms and feed them with your hands slowly...works every time

[@charlottehaworth6455]

It was lovely to see the smile on your face when your hedge was at the right level finally and you had such a glow and have lovely music in the background with a friend that makes my heart smile as I can’t go out in lockdown and my husband became positive on his Corona test so watching you made me feel really good and I hate it when a job is not done ☺️

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you for watching Charlotte, I hope my video gave you some peace and tranquillity. I wish you both the best health and your husband a fast recovery 💚

[@matthewgordon-clark2392]

Fantastic work and what a enourmous change to the view. Well done you

[@mammothmotouk]

It’s great to see you smiling and doing chores around the allotment. I really like the Vlog style too. I find you very interesting and a breath of fresh air. This style makes me feel like we’re getting a treat. Keep it up. I’m sure there are other Vlog ideas too. Chores are part of the whole journey. Thanks for spreading your special kind of happiness. Big love Rob.

[@beverley1539]

You did a good job there and just the thing to keep you warm at this time of year. The hedge should thicken up with time and so be even better for the bird.

I love it! Your hard work and perseverance paid off. It looks amazing. You’ve inspired me to get out tomorrow and start back clearing my hedge as well. It’s been unusually cold here in subtropical Alabama. This southern girl is NOT a fan of freezing temps. I think I’ll bundle up in the morning and get busy! 💪

[@homegrowngarden]

You’ve got this!! 💪 Let us know how you get on.

[@The_man_himself_67]

I have some dying shrubs in my garden that I am loathe to cut down since the sparrows love them. Birdsong in the spring is such a wonderful thing so I hope you still have birds in your plot. That said, I have an open fronted birdbox hidden away which hopefully a Robin will move into and we have our friendly blackbird that sings to us in the spring.

Hello Katrina and lovely video thanks and sorry for the late response as I’ve just noticed your video also I had to re subscribe to you as I un subscribed on accident now on to the video as I must say you’ve done a great job of cutting away the bushes etc as May I suggest that you use a battery powered reciprocating saw to cut the bushes in future and also use some candle wax on the blade of your bush cutting hand saw so the blade won’t get stuck due to the saps etc also I’ve just noticed statistically that you’ve joined KZbin a little over three years ago and you did your first video back then also you’ve surpassed 2.5 million views and you’ve just reached 44K subscribers so how’s that for stats hey so I hope you’ve had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year’s Day and wish for you to have a prosperous 2021 and hope all your gardening duties go well for you so with all that said thanks for reading my response take care stay safe and cheerio

[@thomasreilly6362]

Very satisfying to cut back hedges that have gone wild. One of my favourite jobs, especially when in the mood to do it. Its good way to blowing off a bit of steam during lock down.The results can be seen immediately as well as a sense of achievement Ivy is the killing the trees in our garden. So I'm keen to remove it from around the bark ,strip back as much as I can and let the rest wither in time. A lot of the green foliage can be composted. Next job is the corner of shame put to use. Keep up the good work..

years ago my city maintenance was clearing under power lines in alley behind my out bldgs. my fence was overgrown like yours so i asked them to cut off the trees at fence height so i could reach future growth. they said not allowed, so i forgot about it. days later i went back there and they had cut AND carried it away, more than i asked!!! i kept it low as promised. this past summer i finally dug out the last roots and am working on replacing fence!!! hard work, but worth it, hang with it!!!
