- Welcome to the first episode of Chit Chat! This is the first in our monthly series where @DaintyDiaries and I will be chatting all things gardening, sharing what we've learned and also having a few laughs along the way!
This month's episode is on my channel and next month's episode will be on Catherine's channel.
This month, we chatted about how we met and how we became friends, what our plans are for the garden this year, we shared our favourite spring plants and our least favourite plants. Finally, we discussed our garden plans for April and May.

loved having the chats Bridie 😆 cheers to the next one. ☺️ if anyone has any garden questions for the next one, pop them below ❤️
Usually I listen to most garden channels and your Catherine at 1.5 speed just cuz I busy impatient etc. But you two together I had to go down to regular speed bc I couldn’t understand anything lolz. #abitofanaccent
after awhile I got up to 1.25! :D
Roll on your visit to my jardin next month for the. next episode!
We really do speak so fast!!
Any suggestions for finding affordable pots that are actually nice? Or adapting horrible plastic pots to look good?
You gals should consider doing a podcast together 💯 It would be at the top of my listening list.
Could you imagine! It would be us just laughing at ourselves! But you never know!
Sign me up too!
I don't listen to podcasts but ai would listen to Catherine read a foreign dictionary an I know she'd make me interested xxx OG Dainty fan ❤❤❤
This is perfect. Such a laugh.
Im looking forward to this every week.
Its like sitting with my best pals but not saying anything 🤣
So glad we gave you a giggle Tracey! At the moment, it'll be every month, so next month it'll be over on Catherine's channel and then in June, it'll be back here and so on!
I’ve been saving this for when I could sit and relax and enjoy…FABULOUS! Nothing better than great friends enjoying a chat! Thanks for letting us in
I'm 30 seconds in and chuckling already. What a fab friendship you've got 💞
We're very lucky to have the same 4 brain cells!
Patio Chatio! Great fun watching this. You're so lucky to have found each other ❤
Omg patio chatio would be an epic podcast name 😆
You two remind me of myself and cousin. We still do this at 75 and call it therapy. Good for the soul ladies.😅
Patio Chatio is genius!!
It really is therapy isn't it! Laughter is so good for the soul!
@@DaintyDiaries I'd subscribe to that right now if you set it up!
40 seconds in and the first snort happens!!! Love you two together.
I forgot about the snort!
So glad Cathrine said about you 💐
Thanks Pauline!
I wonder if Monty Don knows he has a fan club 🤣🤣🤣
We are true fan girls of his!
You both are such kindred spirits and the laughter you share is priceless.
Social media can have its positives and our friendship is most definitely one!
I’m an OG from Catherine’s channel and thought I’d pop on here to say you two are adorable! Enjoyed your chit chat very much. ❤️
Ah thank you for stopping over!
Karen is actually so gorgeous and patient 🤗🤗 she allows Catherine to speak fully then chime in
😂😂😂
Friendship Goals!
Aw thank you Martha!
Oh my....the pair of you made me laugh so hard! Thank you for sharing your friendship and "gardening tips!" It was pure joy! See you next week!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Hi, Karen. This is Marie from Washington State, USA. I subscribe to Catherine's CZcams channel. I always love when you make an appearance in her videos. Your Chit Chat together is a pure delight. Keep them coming!
Aw thank you so much Marie! We'll definitely have more!
Good friends and good conversation. Wonderful way to spend a Sunday !!
Thanks Connie!
How do you start your raised beds? Do you put layers of wood or leaves in first or is it all soil? Would you please do a bed video showing all the steps.
Ladies, this is great. I feel like I'm right there sitting with you! Love from Canada! ❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🍁🍁🍁🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🫖☕☕🍎🍎🍎🍐🍐🍐🍓🍓🍓🫐🫐🫐🍅🍅🍅🍞🧀🧈🍳🍳🍳

Thank you both for brightening up a rainy Sunday afternoon. I actually laughed out loud along with you…your giggles are infectious! 🚐🇨🇦❤️🌷🌷🌷
Delighted we gave you a laugh!
Great chat. Thank you for taking us along
Thank you for watching Cathy!
"Cowboy gardeners" 🤣🤣🤣hilarious!!! Love you both separately but together you had me smiling and giggling throughout the whole video😆🥰 great chat ladies. Thank you for taking us along on your gardening journey!
I also loved Catherine’s “cowboy gardeners” reference to herself and Karen! 💖😂💖
I loved that bit too. They absolutely brightened up my day x
Thanks so much for watching Cheryl! We are pure cowboy gardeners!!
Great way to start my Sunday!
My daddy once pruned my dogwoods like shrubs. I cried! I am such a natural I guess. I love whimsical and non-symmetrical gardens. I think that’s why I love cottage gardens and of course the traditional cottage flowerings.
That’s exactly what I love about cottage gardens - the lack of symmetry and lines and I love that word whimsical 😍
I’m excited for this series! What a great idea!
Absolutely love this.
Oh loved the chats. Internet friends are the best. Looking forward to the weekly catch ups.
What a lovely conversation. You two are fabulous 🎉
Ah thank you Lorie!
I knew this would be great! I love you both ❤Chit Chats are amazing!
You girls are amazing. Thank you Catherine for introducing us to your friend. Love your friendship
Thank you for your inspiration
You are so welcome!
you are the cutest together, adorable! 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Love this thank you ladies 💐
Thank you for watching Tracey!
Love these chats.🥰
Thanks Audrey!
I had to stop the video a 1/4 way in to go make coffee so I could have a proper sit-down chat with you. I love this idea and look forward to the next one you two do.
This is exactly what we love to hear! Coffee and chats all the way!
Cute video of two ladies chatting away! Love it
Thank you so much!
It’s so much fun to see the two of you together! I loved it. 🌸💗🌸💗
Thanks so much Blume!
Im an Aussie girl, sitting here with a glass of wine, feeling like I'm sitting there in the garden with you ❤️❤️
Love this series. You ladies crack me up. I have a garden video or two, but plan to make more as plants grow and fill in. Look forward to the next video.
Keep us posted on your progress!
You two have electric energy together, would love to see you guys together more often, great chemistry
The most perfect company for a Sunday, thanks girls x
So glad we kept you company Majella!
You’d swear they were two beers in ye’re hands. 😂😂😂
As gardeners I’d say twas the blind leading the blind. Exactly where most of us are at ! I’m thoroughly enjoying both ye’re channels!
I can only imagine what we'd come out with if we were drinking beer!!
You two are a hoot😂what a great start to my day, thank you
So glad you enjoyed Laila!
Just so wonderful to have such close friendships! I was laughing so much with you two!!
Oh you two together are so much fun.
Thanks Kath! We always have a laugh when we're together!
Hi Karen, I'm here from Catherine's channel. Thank you for letting us witness your friendship, your conversation and giggles. I subscribed so will be seeing you again.
I’ve never laughed so much, thanks gurls ❤
So glad we gave you a laugh Carol!
This was a lot of fun, but I had a hard time hearing the both of you.
You two are a breath of fresh air!!! 🌼
We'll make sure to talk extra loud the next time!
Absolutely loved this! More more more!!❤
Ah thank you Melanie!
Loved this! So fun to just sit with a cup of tea and listen to you gals chatting about all the lovely gardeny bits. 😁🌱
So glad we kept you company Char!
Girls what a laugh! I've been following Catherine for some time now but will now follow you too Karen! I'm a hopeless gardener - I'm 66 just retired and would love to have green fingers. Both my sisters and best friend are brilliant gardeners so I'm lost when it comes to gardening knowledge but I hope to shuffle along with you two as I'm really impressed with your knowledge now! Really enjoyed this and looking forward to the next one!
I just turned 54 at the end of March, and I got into gardening hard core in 2021. Prior to 2021, I had planted a few rose bushes here and there, but that was it. Last yr, I decided to try growing food in containers just to see if I could. Well, we had a SERIOUS drought here in Tx which taught me a TON, but I got a pretty decent harvest from all my veggies. Fast fwd to the winter of 22/23, and I had my hubby building me 6 raised beds for me to grow food again this yr. Then I saw the David Austin rose gardens in the UK from a channel I follow called Rose Geek that visited them, and I was INSPIRED! I went to my hubby and asked him to build me some rose arbors like they have. We started building them in March over our front sidewalk and completed them in early April, 2023. I ordered 12 climbing roses from David Austin, and finally got them all planted in the ground last week. I also created a brand new flower bed in a quarter moon around my mailbox and have plans to make two other big flower beds in our backyard this year as well. If that wasn’t enough to keep me busy, I planted the following in my new raised beds: tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, onions, herbs, corn, green beans, peas, potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries, blueberries, and cantaloupe that I mostly grew from seed. All this to say, that I knew NOTHING about growing food and next to nothing about most other plants, but thru dedication, perseverance, and the thirst for knowledge, I’ve learned a lot and have grown and expanded what I’m doing every yr since the gardening bug bit me so hard in 2021. U CAN DO THIS so hang in there, soak up everything ur sisters and best friend share with u, and take it one step at a time until one day u’ll look at how far u’ve been able to come in a short time and be so stinking proud of what u’ve accomplished! It has become a labor of love and has brought me such peace and joy so from one new gardener to another, u go, girl! 💞💐
It can be overwhelming Mary, I totally get it! And we get overwhelmed too because there's so much to learn, but we're taking it project by project, section by section and experimenting as that's how we'll learn. The best of luck with your gardening journey and keep us posted on how you get on!
I couldn't have said it better myself! It really gives peace and joy in equal measures, doesn't it?
Very educational … and fun. I look forward to all future chat sessions
Thanks Deborah xx
You two should have your own morning talk show! 😃 I really enjoy you gals together.
Maybe one day! We'd need all of the coffee!
I loved this! Thank you so much girls, can’t wait for the next one! A question for your next one, what has been the most exciting thing you have done to your gardens? Xx
Ooh I love that question! Have added it to the list!
I came over from Dainty Diaries and I enjoyed your beautiful ladies so much. Karen, green sweaters looked amazing. It is so special to have a friend like you two do. I subscribed because now I just have to see Karen’s yard.
Oh thank you so much! That's my favourite cardigan, perfect for the cold Irish spring!
Please do a Podcast!!!!! Love listening to you two. It's like being with my friend.
Ah thanks so much Irene!
Love the chats!!!!! I sat out in my backyard and enjoyed the chats with you girls.
Thanks for watching Lydia!
Doing the chit chats was a great idea!!! Loved watching you both you had me in stitches!!! Can’t wait for the next one!!💖
Ah thanks so much Cheryl!
Absolutely loved this video ❤ xx
Glad you liked it!!
I am here for this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
I bought a house last year and discovered that the small lawn at the front and side is full of red ants and everything planted there was pretty much dead, but I've been watching you guys to give me motivation to tackle my new garden (I've never had a garden before so I'm very new to it all!)
You girls are such an inspiration!!! I’m a few years behind you… currently trying to de- jungle my garden of briars and ivy
Ooh that would make a great before and after shot!
Loved this! I always enjoy when you girls get together… informative AND hilarious!
We're so glad you enjoyed it Lisa!
Loved the chat ladies and so looking forward to the next one!!!
Thanks Kris!
I really enjoyed this chat and am glad you both will be doing this as a regular gig. ❤
You two are so much fun. Love the chit chat. Being from Texas I thought it was funny you are "Cowboy Gardeners" .
Do you live close to each other? Have you planned any travel? If so where would you like to visit? Have a great week. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching Donna! We're about a 25/30 minute drive from each other. We actually need to plan a trip now that you mention it!
@@Lovelygirliebits I hope so. Girls need to have fun.
Chat on ladies, love it!
Thank you!!
Brilliant giggled all the way through ! Xx
Glad we gave you a laugh Claire!
You two are funny! When you know what the other is thinking or finish each other's sentences, that is true friendship. I had a friend with that we didn't have to finish each other sentences but knew what each other meant.
We always do that! And half the time start laughing at the joke before it's been said!
I love you two, your video made me laugh so much 😂❤
Thanks a million for watching Kerry!
I keep a stash of annual seeds I can pop in the gaps. Alyssum and nasturtiums are two I often use for this purpose. Great chat! ❤
That's a great idea! Totally going to do that myself!
I could watch you two everyday!!!🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed Michelle!
If you're interested in having your front garden like a small allotment have a look at "Spicy Moustache. " Especially his earlier ones as he did this in his small London front garden. He's also great for garden tips etc. - Frances
No laugh gets to your funny bone as well as a snort laugh. You bothered just a joy. Love this and learned some things too. So Lovely and fun. More please!
The uncontrolled laughs are the best!
you two are so cute together. I love these shows they have alot of info bouncing back and forth between you both. Thank you Mary
Thanks Mary!
Love this! It’s SO great ‘meeting’ you Karen!!! Love your friendship! I will enjoy watching you both!💖💖
Yay! Thank you!
I loved the girlie chat! You two are so funny together!
Thanks so much for watching!
I loved this! You both are so natural/comfortable in front of the camera. I really enjoyed it. More, please. 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Hi, I'm in Nottinghamshire in the UK and have been watching Catherine for a while now and love all her makes and gardening. Catherine, you're a fiend on that lawnmower, you're addicted girl! Loving the two of you together, give us more!!
The grass doesn't ever get a chance to grow as she loves the lawnmower so much!! But her grass always looks immaculate!
What a good idea this is luv it ❤👍❤👍
Thanks so much Pat!
You two should plant some peonies and dahlias, two of my favorites.
We have dahlias from last year and I just potted up some new ones this year, so hopefully they grow!
Oh my word I absolutely loved this video. You two have such a beautiful friendship . I was giggling along with you both, can't wait for the next one. ❤ xx
Delighted we gave you a laugh Claire!
I am so glad you decided to do a “chats” video! When I saw the thumbnail for the video, it brought such joy and I was excited to watch! You two are wonderful together and feed off each other. Looking forward to the next one! Have a great week you two! From Florida 🦩💖
Thanks a million for watching Dorothy!
Brilliant girls so loving this❤❤❤ and don't talk to me about lettuce I planted my first lot of vegetables last year to "try it out" omg I was invaded by frigging lettuces only 8 plants in a large pot this year ha ha 😂😂😂
The lettuce fought back, eh!!
@@Lovelygirliebits they were rampant is all I can say 😆 🤣 😂
Since you both love tulips, I didn’t know if you were aware that you can buy the Easter table setting pots that they sell at the grocery or big box store and plant them directly in the ground. That way it takes the guesswork out of where those tulips will pop up next year.
Great chat! Please continue!
Great idea!
You ladys are so funny nice to see you laughing 😊❤it's great nice to see you chatting like to see more of you 😊the birds agree with you
The birds wanted to join in with the chats!
I loved this..just the fact that you talk like you always do (I’m guessing) and you are like hanging out with friends!! I loved this.. l that’s what she said” lol! You two crack me up, your laughing. So much fun!
We couldn't be professional if we tried! Not when we're together anyway!
Awe I love this. Makes me want to move back home n have the chats in person 👭☕️🫖
Thanks for watching Ana!
Loved watching your chat ladies
I just found both of you❣️ So adorable to watch and laugh along with you🥰
I have a tendency to over plant and I always start way to many. But they always find a spot 😂
I can't tell you how much I laughed and how much joy you two bring in to my life. I made cup of tea and sat down to watch The Chats after getting my little balcony ready for spring and planting. I think I want "Cowboy Gardeners" and " The Chats" merch...definitely I'll be your first customer, and podcast... I don't know about Monty Donn shaped hug, but your warmth and laughter are infections ❤
What a lovely comment! that's made my day xxx
Did I hear seagulls in the background? That was fun being with you two! I was laughing away like I was there! Lol 😆
I think you heard every bird imaginable in that garden!
Loved and shared.
Thanks Faith!
