Tulips in my Cottage Garden & Spring Plants Tour

Come and have a look at the tulips in our cottage garden. Most of them are in flower at the moment, with just a few of the double petal varieties to follow. We will also show you the polytunnel and greenhouse so you can see how we are getting on with growing vegetables this year. Hope you enjoy!

I love the entire retro scene here. Old cottage garden, no plastic in sight anywhere, vintage style dresses, all so easy to look at, idyllic, nostalgic. A sense of beautiful permanence and continuity. Thank you for sharing!

[@juliefurber1937]

It all looks so beautiful, I love your muted colour scheme. The mini meadow is so pretty. Your ducks look super happy wandering around the flower borders - Love your videos ❤😀

[@monalogue]

BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS THANK YOU

[@dawnbrowne1702]

Such a joy to watch you in your beautiful garden. We have all the autumn tones here in Australia so will be waiting for another 6 months for the beauty of tulips. Thank you for so much enjoyment.

The tulips look really good now that they have lightened up in colour also the pink and red ones look quite similar when they are aged.. also its nice that you've broken up the colour with the white and cream flowers u could add some wallflowers to blend in beneath the tulips and make them softer The flower seeds are all so exciting I'm surprised uve managed to keep them in the small pots since last spring that's a really long time I thought they would outgrow them Lovely garden thanks for sharing😊

[@petgoosepaulringo33]

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

So therapeutic to watch the flowers grow.

[@ExploreandchillYT]

I’ve never seen such a lovely array of tulips 😄

[@marcusseidel6824]

congratulations ...a fairy tale cottage ...meadow garden.

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

Greetings from the Netherlands 👋 Thank you for sharing this amazing video and your beautiful garden! I moved to my house 2 years ago, and now I have my own tiny garden. It is not so big and beautiful as yours. But I spend a lot of time there, and it brings me a lot of joy 😉

[@erinlittle5438]

Thank you for sharing your garden! I love these updates, the bluebells are some of my favorites

[@irenemarlow9144]

Fantastic show of tulips! I also love Forget Me Nots.

[@annburgoyne2529]

Your garden is looking so beautiful, the tulips are stunning. Loving the gorgeous ducks waddling around, my daughter and partner are building their new home in Cornwall and longing to to get ducks after showing them yours . Your garden is a breath of fresh air. ❤

[@ASturkgal]

I love watching your cottage and garden videos, they're so enjoyable and lovely 🥰 I would love to see you doing gardening in action with tips for beginners etc 😊

[@joycurnow6839]

Absolutely beautigul! I love your garden! 🌺

[@marcusseidel6824]

You could plant Spanish blue bells with an under the ground restriction ...so they won t spread to hard. I think Lily of the valley, discentra spectabilis, Aquilegia would look stunning in your area. In the meadow ..cammomile, poppies ...would look great

[@monalogue]

Love these suggestions thank you! I just picked up eight poppies today and wasn’t sure where to plant them, so it’s perfectly timed 😊

[@jessicamiller7539]

This is a great idea. I actually have spanish bluebells planted in a plastic bulb basket and they come back year after year but haven't taken over.

[@wesvanhoogmoed-ze1zp]

I love the ducks! 🦆❤️

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Utterly delightful. So pretty 👏

[@rareandwonderfull]

4:57 "Such a nice time of year." Yes, springtime, it equates to physical youth when all is fresh and bright and new. Full of exuberance, and optimism, an everything is easy, effortless, before the "battle of the bugs" and "battle of the weeds" begins in summertime.

[@richardisted3703]

It's looking so lovely!

[@michaelhaddan1965]

Fabulous~~

[@monalogue]

Thank you 😊

[@AshleyPaquin1]

Super beautiful!

[@rareandwonderfull]

99% loveliness, The 1% that I would do differently is eliminate straight lines like right here> 4:55 . My love is Art Nouveau, in which all straight lines are eliminated, also the old Gertrude Jekyll style cottage garden in which nearly all straight lines are eliminated. I love masses of flowers in which one mass gradually transitions into the other mass. I don't want to be critical because I know and live the lifestyle in which the income producing job, plus other demands on one's time finds us during the very short planting days of autumn needing to stick those bulbs into the soil as quickly as possible and straight lines are faster to plant than informal masses. My vegetable garden is an exception to my elimination of straight lines. If I do not use straight lines in the vegetable garden, then I won't know what I planted where which is critical in case of seeds failing to sprout and knowing exactly where they are at greatly speeds up knowing where to uncover several seeds to see what is happenening which facilitates replanting ASAP befor the growing season is gone. I do space my rows as closely as the plants needs allow, the result of which is that all lines disappear by the time that vegetable plants mature all rows grow shut leaving me with a French intensive look, which I adore. I use no rotary tiller in my vegetable garden, only hand tools and thick black, woven weed barrier which reduces tomato rot by around 80 to 90%. Sorry to ramble on, part of the process of seeking perfection.

[@mireillewilson5911]

The garden looks lovely!! I've never seen ducks like that. They look like a cross between a duck and a penguin. Do they have wings?

[@bobbilynnmiller742]

Your Spring garden is lovely! Thank you for sharing with us ! Did you first start the Forget Me Nots from seed ? I’ve not been successful starting them from seed . Do you have any tips ?

[@karennewbury6430]

Thank you Ramona and Aaron for the beautiful Spring garden tour. Beautiful. Peaceful.

[@monalogue]

Thank you so much. We are glad you enjoyed it ❤

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

Can you share recipes for the broad beans?

[@emanuelad3534]

Beautiful!! If I don’t mow the grass I have mostly dandelions… what do u do to prevent a garden full of dandelions? Thank you

[@tinag9538]

How did you get your cow parsley started

[@Yosef_Morrison]

How many and what kind of chickens do you have? I saw one foraging in the orchard area behind you @7:52

[@baus7]

Can you provide q link to these pink tulips please?

[@rareandwonderfull]

.......... plastic in the greehouse but none in the show area.

[@Lily_Autumn]

Hi Mona, lovely video as always! Please can I have your email address? When I click the email button on your Instagram or through the link in your profile it just tries to open the mail app on my phone, which I don’t have set up! I would really like to email you directly if possibly please - it’s regarding contact details for the person who rebuilt your shed/duck house. 💗🦆 Or if they have a website, please can you post it here? Thank you! 😊

[@dogontheplot]

Your tulips are an absolute delight - it all looks so beautiful. I'd love a peek at Aaron's allotment at some point...

[@Luna04567]

Tulips are my favorite. My dad plants them at our house 30 years ago and they still come up every year

[@dianadeedy1025]

Thank you for sharing! Love the bluebells: have you thought of planting English bluebells in the area where Spanish bluebells are? And poppies are always lovely: have you ever considered the Tibetan blue poppy Meconopsis? They are a bit of a challenge but are gorgeous! Your efforts with your garden is outstanding!

[@cindyclark9145]

Absolutely delightful!!! Soothing and relaxing before retiring for the night!❤

[@raviprout]

You are such a fortunate one living amidst nature

[@laitae]

Your garden is an absolute dream ❤

[@wangsonglaketv58]

Fantastic.Have a great day today!👍👍

[@patdelaney191]

I certainly would not purposely plant Spanish bluebells. They will take over your lawn soon enough and then you will be foever trying to pull them out. They really are thugs. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@mariawhite1328]

An absolute vision of beauty and joy! Well done! ❤

[@monalogue]

Thank you so much that’s really kind 😊

[@soomay9855]

So pleased that the ducks are again allowed out to play! The tulips coupled with the gorgeous stainless daffodils really set each other off. Forget me knots always reminds me of the Laura Ashley of the 1980’s!

[@monalogue]

Thank you so much. Oh I love that association between forget me nots and Laura Ashley! 😍

[@bobbilynnmiller742]

One more question… my lawn is full of dandelion and thistles . I don’t want to use a Weed and Feed , but I don’t know how to help my lawn . We are renting .

[@samanthadionm.3726]

im inspired by your focus on spring flowering flowers in your garden. it looks so refreshing and invigorating after a long winter. im going to have to order lots of different fall bulbs hihihi. i wasnt particularly into tulips but from seeing them in your garden i will have to order some.

[@lauraswann5543]

Beautiful.💖

[@mossandmirthvlog]

So lovely, as always! I adore the mini meadow

[@eddreemiles5459]

Such lovely videos❤your garden channel is by far my favorite 🌸 I just love it. Thank you for sharing

[@MsLola1220]

This garden is so dreamy, i love how it has little sections and it seems never ending, all the green houses and buildings it came with are so so nice too!!! Everyone video im so 😱 with how much you know about so many plants, it makes me want to get more into gardening

[@michelepfaff5363]

I do believe the garden will tell you....whatever thrives, do more of that.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you, beautiful! 🌷💚🙃

[@dailystories50]

Nice 😍Love duck❤️

[@monalogue]

Thank you 🥰🦆

[@williamandcynthialyons3841]

Lovely! Thank you.

[@leahblair9709]

Those tulips are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for the duck update 🥰

[@cherylbeswick7327]

I don't agree with no mow May at all! Your creating safe spaces for pollinators and other insects and then come June your wiping them all out! It's like a death sentence for them. I think it's much better to do what I do and dedicate a space that you leave completely wild all year round even if it's just the smallest patch. 🤍

[@IfCinderellahadahome]

Beautiful as always, I so look forward to your updates. Please think about removing the Spanish and adding an English bluebell as your theme is delicate meadow and within 5 years mine got covered in thick bluebells which took all my delicate fritillaries so have a think. You won’t regret it I promise. 🤍
