Very Welcome RAIN in the Garden #3

Here in the North of England, we have been having a bit of a heatwave. The rain that came this last couple of weeks was so very welcome and has made everything in my garden grow phenomenally! Weeds too!
In this video I'll show you the work that my Garden Team were doing in the pouring rain in my Front Woods. We have a long term plan for this area. Watch this space!

The Last Homely House channel has just reached a wonderful milestone - 100K subscribers. If you are one of them - THANK you very much!
I chose music for this video from Epidemic Sound to reflect the content. I hope you like it. Here you have

and

very fitting I thought
The recipe for Gooseberry Fool is very simple.
Top and tail the gooseberries and give them a good wash. In a saucepan add a good handful of caster sugar to the berries with a glug of undiluted elderflower cordial. Heat gently for 10 minutes. The berries should not be mushy. Taste and adjust the sugar if you like.
Fold this into lightly beaten double cream, one small pot of the stuff.
That's it. Serve with little biscuits, shortbread traditionally, but I had amaretti biscuits. Delicious!

So happy you decided to create The Last Homely Garden...the videos are ethereal, and there is such beauty in each one. Thank you for taking us along.

[@SewManyThings]

“Ethereal” is the perfect word to describe these magical moments captured on video!

[@goatgrandma457]

Kate, Thank you for sharing your lovely garden once again! What a treat to us, your viewers!!

[@vivianweissmann217]

Dear Kate; this little garden channel is a delight - so happy you decided to give us this charming gift of your garden. What a lovely surprise to see Eileen. Thank you; stay well.

[@barbarajobling5665]

Just love the fox gloves, it’s an insect heaven Kate. No doubt you will shred the wood for your future paths, such a good way to utilise what you have. Lots of work to be done but you have a great team, well done to you all.❤.

I live in the mountains in the northeastern part of the US. We had a couple of weeks of the drought here, but lately lots and lots of rain. Last year I put in things like gooseberries, red currents, elderberries, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries, to name a few. It's occurred to me that other than a few jams, I have no idea what to do with gooseberries. Doing a fool is a lovely idea. Thank you so much for this channel. It's been wonderful to follow along here on the lime green sofa. 🛋🫐🍓💚

[@yvonneboerema2782]

you can do a crumbble

[@RoseCottageColleen]

@@yvonneboerema2782 Thank you. Gooseberries are not used here in the US much so I'm greatful for ideas. Lovely people here on the lime green sofa.

[@yvonneboerema2782]

you welcome you can do a chutney as well or make a cordial/syrup and they are good with meats as a compote but harty ,we use them a lot .

So glad you finally got a good rain. Everything looks beautiful and very well cared for

[@lindapearson3340]

I love seeing your garden. Those tall purple flowers are so beautiful. Eileen is so beautiful too and so are those lovely birds you have at your feeders. It is so cool to see the types of birds and flowers that you grow because we do not have any of those in Illinois in Zone 5. Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden and land that you live on.

[@aliciaquintano6506]

These garden videos are wonderful! I've loved "The Last Homely House" and I'm very much enjoying this channel as well :)

[@antoniawj]

Ha ha! Fisher Price chainsaw! A big little part of my life as a mom of two boys,now grown to men…I had to drown (in the bath) a Fisher Price « radio » which played « Raindrops keep falling on my head » endlessly…I let the kids take it in the bath to save my sanity, which I knew I would need to raise them the rest of the way! I love your vidéos!

[@horsenroundstudio]

So lovely! I hope that as the climate changes over time, the UK will never have the trouble we have in the US/Canada with wildfires. Your garden looks so amazing. It makes me want to get back out in mine and move greenhouse starts into raised beds.

[@Chercher4848]

I’m in on the “Last Homely House” & just now subscribed to Garden. Thank you for numbering as it makes it so much easier to watch in sequence. You are the most interesting & kind person ever & I could watch & listen to you doing just about anything. 😉

[@wendydawe3874]

Gardens are a lot of work, particularly as you get older. I continue to plug away, a bit at a time but certainly can’t do as much as I used to do. It’s lovely being outside, listening to the birds and checking for bees and butterflies. I really enjoy all of your videos. Take care….see you next time and thanks.

[@judygill870]

So beautiful and peaceful. So happy that you have another channel We love you Kate

[@cristinaluciacibils6554]

Thank you very much Kate!! It was lovely to watch so much green in your garden ❤️ I'm sure many of us are inspired by following you along the paths and getting a feel of it.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Loving the garden series! How about showing us how you harvest, how to know when veg are ripe, sequential sowing, then converting it into meals, or putting aside somehow. I assume you do freezing and canning etc. 🎉

[@goldenfd475]

@@jamiethrogmorton2540 I think it is great that you have suggested other ideas for Kates new channel. Perhaps over time she will take some of these up and develop content in the same way as in "The Last Homely house"

A beautiful garden Kate! The bees must be happy. So good to see Eileen again. She did look very scared of the sounds in the garden.

Hello from Finland! This lovely video just popped in, and I love it. Here we put lambswool of low quality and full of dirt (which the spinning mills don't accept) around the plant beds and on the branches of young trees and bushes. No deer, bunny or rabbit will come and eat your vegetables which grows within this barrier. In addition to that, the wool will slowly nourish the soil. Try it! With love, Ulrika.

[@kathybeltz6910]

we have one of those "fisher price chainsaws" and i love it! honestly, the big ones scare me, but now, all those invasive non native bullies are coming out of my garden! thanks for providing a video tonight while i rest my weary wild woman gardening self!

I am glad its warmish as I nave a deep seeded need to run you a warm bath with a rum toddy, you make me miss my Scottish mum and English Gran both whom I miss desperately and spent years embroidering Beatrix Potter characters for new grandchildren, and quilting with my Grans quilting group!

[@carolyndixon7263]

Kate, the bouquets you pick from your garden are so colorful and beautiful! Maybe a video of all that is blooming in your gardens? You could identify the plants for us too? That would be wonderful!

[@gracekramer9077]

Kate, I love your videos. Your life resembles mine only i have 4 married children and 11 grandchildren. You are an inspiration! After losing several close family members in a few years time ( including my son and fiancee among others) i am slowly returning to myself and quilting and gardening again. Your videos are a must while i sew and even just for fun and company!!! Thank you for sharing yourself and your talents with is! BTW…. I am a multi-project person like you with lots in the soup daily, lots of family interruptions and no end of new projects tapping me on the shoulder. I live in a tiny home now so i must control the piles and collections!!!! Or i may have to expand my living quarters. 😬. Thank you again!!!💜🩷🩵💙

I really enjoyed that gooseberry footage. I had a great uncle that grew masses of bushes of them in West Virginia when I was a child. He had the pink variety that shimmered like it was gold plated in the sun. And I haven't eaten one since. Now my tastebuds are ready for more!

I felt a huge stab of jealousy seeing your garden in all it's rainy glory, and had to take a deep breath and remember to be glad for the good fortune of friends. I have many blessings, but a glorious wild garden is not one of them. I particularly loved your willows, and am happy for you to have all those trimmings. I can easily imagine many lovely projects that can be made from them. Loved seeing Eileen today, despite her nerves at the noise. Someday I want a goose, too. :)
