- It's time for our yearly cottage garden recap! This was our fourth year in the garden and our second year on CZcams. What a busy year it has been, we've worked on some really exciting projects including appearing on gardeners world, upgrading our pond and planting thousands of bulbs ahead of springtime. We have also upgraded our filming equipment this year and learned how to use a gimbal and a macro lens in our videos. Thank you so much for joining us in our garden journey so far!

There are no words except heavenly.😊
Another late diagnosee here, it makes me happy to see someone else who throws themselves so completely into their special interest. It’s reassuring to be reminded I’m not the only one who gets burned out a lot, and I agree that spending time in a garden is a wonderful way to recharge when that happens.
Absolutely delightful. Thank you for this, you have truly inspired me.❤
Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful natural garden and Its the bees knees.
I am inspired to plant 500 bulbs this year after seeing your beautiful garden 😍
I feel that Your garden has truly evolved into a quintessential English cottage garden…absolutely love it. I am madly in love with your ducks; they are so adorable. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. Northern Midwest USA. 🪻🙏❤️
This is so lovely of you, thank you 🥰🌷
I am also in the northern Midwest US and I agree! The idea of March being a favorite month is bananas to me, but I am glad you (Mona) can enjoy it. Because it is still quite frozen here!

What a lovely recap of what was a very busy year for you. I watched you on Gardeners World before then finding you by chance on CZcams and I thought that you came over just perfectly. Love your garden, love your ducks and love watching you loving your garden. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

I love this garden recap. 12 months of beauty and hard work! Thanks
This was so cool to hear an overview of the garden year. I must keep a log now, so useful♡
You've had an exciting year, congratulations are in order! The thing I love about your garden, is that despite the fact there was much planning and expense to get to this point, it, nevertheless has the look of a natural, flowing garden, as if it has been there for generations.
Runner ducks are too comical!
Lovely year end review.
What a great idea … loved the recap of the 2023! I am sure it will be an amazing 2024 garden. I planted 1000 bulbs myself and can’t wait for March!
Going to watch this on repeat till the garden gets busy ❤
So nice to see your lovely garden throughout the year! You have all my favorite flowers❤❤
You inspire me to take do what I love when I can, and rest when needed. Love following along in your garden journey. ❤
It is hard work, or should I say a labour of love, but you have a Great ethos into what makes life worthwhile and I do love your cottage so I hope you don't mind me mentioning it as I saw your video from a year ago. I look forward to catching up with your back catalogue of videos and more power to you. D
What a lovely review of what was certainly a busy year for you. I saw you on Gardeners World before then finding you by chance on CZcams, I thought you came over perfectly by the way. Love your garden, love your ducks and love watching you loving your garden. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I agree. March, May and June are the most beautiful months for me. Greetings from Germany.
You are my favorite channel, your garden is so beautiful. My favorite flowers from your garden are all your winter clematis, cirhosa ‘freckles’ especially and not to forget your spring clematis montana. Love your roses and your hellebores.
Your water wine barrel inspired me and I made two exactly like that.
Thanks again from Canada
Thank you for writing this, that made me smile 😊 have really missed the winter clematis this year since I had to prune them so hard to get the fences in. Love that you made the water barrels too!
You have an absolutely stunning garden!!! Your recap was a joy to watch
Love the intro music, the same as Kirsten & Joerg often use 😊. That was a great review of the last 12 months. I too have Aspergers and find gardening very theraputic and calming. Really enjoy your channel and look forward to seeing future videos. I wish you all the best for your 2024 gardening year.
Amazing! 250 years old cottage! I have long admired the English way of PRESERVING antiquity. Here in the USA there is far too much destroying the past.
9:10 Yes, we are in a valley here, drained on the south side, but water recedes too slowly suffocating roots of some plants in wintertime "blocks of ice". Our butterfly bush, for example, it can tolerate our winter cold, but to prevent it's roots from suffocating in ice, I must dig it up for winter. So, I have experienced what you speak. Much more cold for us in Ohio though, than in the U.K.
4:44 Your snowdrops will become gorgeous weeds in about 5 years from now. Ours were planted around 20 years ago and are a solid mass of about 1o feet wide by 4 feet deep. They are slow but steady and RELIABLE.
6:12 For me Christmas is springtime. For me it is "Joy to the world, for spring has come, let all the birds rejoice....... let tulips and crocuses bloom, let tulips and crocuses bloom, let TULIPS, and TULIPS and CROCUS bloom! LOL!
6:34 Yes, tomatoes will grow rapidly if they have heat and sun, without that, they sit there, sulk, pout turn yellow and die. Pepper, however, MUST be planted early, they grow agonizingly slow, even in ideal conditions. I have been gardening here in Ohio for 50 years, so, 50+ years of trial and error.
12:10 I think of springtime as a botanical "honeymoon" exhuberance, euphoria, a sort of sense of the ancientness of life , a poignant reflection of a romanticized past, devoid of it's griefs and frustration. The summer arrives, for me summer is "mid life" warroir mood of combatting blights, predatious insects and plant devouring predators and weeds, weeds and more weeds and the longer that the days are, the faster the weeds grow. My approach is "nip it in the bud" which consists of 2 hours per day, slicing off weeds just as they sprout with a garden hoe that I keep as near razor sharp as possible. This in my densely planted 50 by 300 foot vegetable garden. My flowers/cottage garden requires very little time.
13:30 Yes! Irises are a must have, when backlit, they look like stained glass with crystailline glint, and the fruit like fragrance, my nose wants more and more of. I grow many types.
23:30 Be sure to acquire a few of the finest Fuji mums, get early, midseason and late types, they are absolutely amazing, blooming when all else is gone. They will grow TALL, the wind will blow them over, so I keep mine in a 50 pound, antique, salt glazed crock. You MUST have a few Fuji mums, they start slowly, but then by August they are growing up like a frieght train, perhaps an inch per day. Get the type with long , quilled petals, here in the states one named "Golden Rain" is absolutely unreal in it's beauty.
Such a beautiful year in the garden lovely, mum I watched this on the tv and absolutely loved it! 🥰❤️
I can't wait for all your videos...it makes my day & year. Your inspiring & I love watching. Ty.❤
A beautiful English garden,can see the fruits of your labour just love your garden,there is something magical about it peaceful. My favourite months are March,May & August.❤
........ Thank you for sharing! Yes, November arrives and we feel the energy decrease........ Happy New year!

How delightful. I like the round shaped bed and planting, along with the wattle fencing. Thank you for sharing your garden and inspiring me to incorporate the new! It's lovely to see you too have a notebook ... I cherish my garden books and all the adventures/and ideas. Thank you again.
I absolutely love your garden more and more each video! I bought my house 2 years ago this March and i have a long ways to go and hope it will someday look half as gorgeous as yours! 💜😍
Southwest Iowa area 😊
What a great garden journey. I love the purple crocuses too but every month is so spectacular. I love your ducks I feel like hugging the screen when they are running around in step.
It is a good idea to jot down what is blooming in your garden month by month. It really does help when you plan out what you need to plant in the coming year. It gives you a better idea where to spend your plant budget and what on.
Really wonderful to take a tour through your lovely garden in all the seasons. Happy New Year
I absolutely love your garden and appreciate the effort videos take. I started watching but long adder your channel launched. So am looking forward to your 3rd year.
Congratulations all round.
Enjoyed your busy year recap! Amazing results & congratulations on your TV debut. Happy New Year & all the best in 2024.
Thank you so much ❤ happy new year
Thanks for letting us into your garden and your life. All the best for 2024. Ewa from Poland
Que hermoso lugar está increíble
When I need a relaxing yet inspiring break I turn to your channel and instagram. Thank you for all of your content. I’ve changed my gardening style completely and I’ve even added runner ducks. Such an inspiration
Delightful video and a classic English garden, ! Thank you and greetings from Zimbabwe 👏
My favorite time of all is crocus time!
Love, love, love it! ❤
I bought 20 plugs of hellebores last year just planted them out , will be great next year , something to look forward too. Never knew snowdrops multiply. Love your lemony hellebore.
An amazing video thank you for sharing!
Absolutely stunning! 🌼🐝
Wow so wonderful planting. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Really lovely. Your cottage garden is exquisite. I recall an earlier episode where you showed all the bulbs for planting. You have done some beautiful work. You must be pleased with the how it looks now. It must be such a soothing and tranquil place to relax in. Your ducks look happy.❤🦆🥀🌹💐
Your flower garden is very beautiful❤❤
Amazing garden & lots of Inspiration
Sizi ilk defa izledim çok güzel bahçe ama ben ne dediğinizi anlayamadım çünkü dilinizi bilmiyorum 😢 çiçekler bahçe ördekler ve siz çok tatlısınız. Yanlış anlamayın ben 50 yaşında bir anneyim ve doğa aşığıyım Kanalınıza abone oldum artık tüm videoları izleyeceğim hemde büyük bir zevkle Turkiyeden selamlar sevgiler kızım ❤
Happy New Year, Mona! You inspire me so much. Our garden is taking shape very slowly but we have managed to plant a bunch of crocus bulbs this winter, finally! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
🥰 so pretty
Excellent video! Keep it up! I had to see the full video, as always, Keep it up! +thumb up3!
❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice and beautiful garden and happy new year dear friend 🌷🌹🌹🌷🌹❤❤
I’ll be watching this video later today. Just watched your cottage tour and so thoroughly enjoyed it! Especially when you turned over the painting a friend had made for your mother as one of my daughter’s is an Anna☺️ Also as I am of Irish descent and my Mom was also a Logue (I could be wrong but thinking that’s your last name?)… I’m clearly a maximalist myself and love the English country feel in my own way in my home. So I just subscribed to your channel to get ideas for my own garden which is a blank canvas so to speak (moved in last year and had much to do inside first)! Keep making videos and ignore any negative comments (as mentioned when I attempted to comment on your home tour inside). Enjoy the nice comments and know those who appreciate your work are out here (I’m in NY state just over the border from Canada)☺️🙏🏻
2:57.
Thats a robin. Here, in central Russia, these birds can only be seen in spring and summer.
I have just shown my BFF your cottage tour and she fell in love with it and you but then we wanted to add comments and we were so sad to read your notice, what is wrong with people, I also live in a cottage I LIVE in it , it’s not an Instagram scrubbed clean cottage it’s like yours, I to received negative comments about too much clutter in my utility room ie microwave on the counter top, and too many things😂 what is wrong with people, you have the most beautiful soul, a beautiful home stay strong x
Bello jardín en eso ando trabajando en el jardín
Lovely. I enjoyed the yearly review. Enjoyed seeing your ducks enjoy the garden. What type of ducks are they? My hellebores are in bloom also. I live in the great lakes, US.
❤❤❤❤

Hi There could list the gardening books that you found useful in creating and maintaining your gorgeous garden?❤
Happy new year! I spotted some Geraniums at 15:45 that look like the cultivar I have in my garden, but I can't remember the name. I don't suppose you know what they're called? Hope you have an amazing 2024!
Where can we find your episode on garden world? I have Brit box and found the show but I don’t know what episode your garden appears in :)

I like listening to her talk. She’s so full of passion and it makes me feel more engaged. Even if you don’t like how much she talked in this video, to say this to her especially in this manner is incredibly rude. Why would you choose to be hurtful when you could choose to mind your own business… baffling behavior
Excellent video 👏beautiful garden 🪴 I got my autism diagnosis late too. I was diagnosed last year in my late twenties. Foxgloves and lupins really brighten up my day 🌸keep up the good work 🤝
