You are the total epitome of you reap what you sow. Its beautiful Catherine you make so much of your little garden and work so hard. I've enjoyed your journeys with you x
🥰🙏🏼 thank you x
So much hard work but every single thing you do is so worth it! What a beautiful, tranquil space to sit and have a cup of tea. I love that you have so many different "areas" including a pond, shade garden, veggies/fruit, firepit, greenhouse, and sun-loving plants ALL within a smaller fenced yard! Just wow! With all of that said, my favorite part is your consideration for the hedgehogs, insects and, of course, Blondie
Your so kind 🥰 thank you x
Your home and garden have changed so much since I started following you! ❤️ Well done!
Thanks Alexis 🥰
At 67 y.o. in u.s.a. northern lower mich. Been gardening all my life, sewing, crafting, woodworking, you name it I do it. I found this video my fav so far. Your little garden turned out so beautiful. You made lovely use of every inch. Loved this video so much, so relaxing and inspiring. I feel our gardens are good for our soul. Love your sewing ideas also. I'll be watching. Love so much seeing the younger generation interested in nature in every way. You are just so adoreable. Great video, thank you!
Love this video solar lighting in that back corner where the pond and hedgehog lives would be awesome
It's amazing how much difference just a year makes, your garden is looking so gorgeous! It's honestly all thanks to you for giving me the belief that I could do it, that started me off on my gardening journey...and well, now I'm a little bit addicted 😄 It has become the most therapuetic thing for me, I now have flowers and an abundance of wildlife that visit. I enjoy it all so much, so, thank you! xx
That is so kind of you Diane x
Diane, I agree with you! I have always enjoyed gardening but Catherine has inspired me to kick it up a notch. ...lol it is addictive 💚
Daintty~ that's splendid -🤚
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
As always you are such an inspiration. Whether it's in the garden or in the house, I get inspired by you. Your garden is so beautiful. I agree with your idea of doing your garden how you want and not what others say. I had bulbs start blooming this week that I had almost given up on. 24 gladiola bulbs in pastel colors. Every couple days a new one blooms and I'm surprised by what color it turns out to be So far, peach, white, pink and lavender. I split my bearded iris last autumn and they went crazy this year. My veggie garden suffering a lot from a family of groundhogs that are eating them all. Everyone keeps saying to shoot or poison them and I'm just NOT going to do that. I'd rather share this year and put in better fencing next year.
I got a new home, downsized last August. Had to start a neglected yard from the 1950's from scratch. You've been one of my favorite channels, Laura, Monty and PlantQueen too. My yard has come such a long way in one season and you've been a big part of the inspiration! Thank you for all you do!
Nothing better than sitting back with a cup of tea or coffee in the early morning with the birds singing and enjoying the beauty of the garden!....Blondie definitely loves your garden!....everyone should try gardening... it really is just making sure your plants will grow in the right zone and adequate light or shade and watering and fertilizing properly.
You've created a beautiful oasis, with a little bit of everything. It looks so nice! Blondie has such a personality! I think she loves her garden!
Message from Sharon. You are doing an amazing job. Hard work has it's rewards! Keep up the good work!
I forgot how it looked before! Such a big change. Thank you for sharing this!
I love what you've done and am especially glad that you share the work that went into it! When you're just starting to plan a garden and then start planting, it looks bare and you wonder if it'll ever look good & you're proof that it does! I'm impressed you're so young, single and own your own place! Keep up the good work :)
You have just brighten up my day. 🥀🥀🌼🌼
It’s an Oasis❤️so much work, but so worth it🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸❤️🥰
My favourite Sunday evening viewing 🙂
Your garden is lovely Catherine, so pretty. Well done 💖😊
The wishing well would be cute to faux brick the bottom same as your wall and put it in your woodland area 🦔🍄🌱
Your garden is looking beautiful. You have done so much! I agree about the mulch. It has made such a difference in our borders. I love gardening, and keep at it even though as I age,and with arthritis it hurts...but flowers and veg are so worth it! I need to get out there and water.
Your beautiful home garden beams love and coziness - something that so-called sterile gardens hardly ever have. ❤
I love watching your channel. From the sprucing up inside to designing your outdoor space. You do an amazing job!!
Thanks Peggy 🥰
What a transformation, so lovely. Being Irish never got the green thumb for gardening so I admire people who can.
Maybe this will give you and me hope. Watch when you are able.😊
I love your enthusiasm for gardening. I am not a gardener at all but I like watching your videos x
This was so nice to see the transformation at once. You’ll have to do this annually.
Yes! And i can’t wait to see how it changes for autumn 🍂
Love watching your videos 💜 always cheers me up thank you 😊💜💐
Catherine you are the cutest person. Love listening.❤️
I love the hole you put in your door for the animals. Soooo cute!!!
your efforts are paying off. Thank you for the update. Also, I am impressed that you manage to stay tidy when working in white or light clothing. I am such a mess when I garden.
Each and every one of your videos is a joy to watch. You keep saying that your plants are happy - they are just reflecting your own personality. It’s going to be a treat to see how your garden evolves in the coming years. An inspiration!!!
All of your hard work has really paid off. Your garden is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure your local wildlife and bee community think so too. Maybe they'll spread the word and you'll soon have some busy ladybugs. Loads of love to you and Blondie.💕
Awwww thank you x
You’ve created a little enchanted garden. So pretty.
So cool to see from the beginning until now. Looking great
This was so encouraging thank you. I just started a new flower bed and this was inspiring and lovely. Now I look forward to a year from now, my pile of dirt could be the start of something lovely.
it was lovely looking back. Your videos have been a great resource and it's nice to share the journey.
It’s looking beautiful and your enthusiasm shines through. Well done and thank you for this great video. X
All your hard work has paid off!
Thank you so much for sharing this progression video of your garden, and your honest tips at the end. This was so encouraging. Being a newbie gardener and a perfectionist, I was feeling so overwhelmed. But hearing your reminder to take it easy, things can still be moved about, plant it in and see how it does, this all just gave me a chance to breathe. You have beautiful garden, and an enven more beautiful soul 💝
From one Catherine to another. 💜 Love your videos and your realness. Not how TO garden, but how I garden.... True words! 😂 Your garden is precious! My chickens eat all my flowers. 😏
Aw thanks Catherine x
I loved watching your progress from start through the journey to the present! Gardening is such hard work but a rewarding one for sure! Especially when you get to sit in your resting area and just enjoy the beauty. I adore your hedgehog hole in your garden gate and I admire your willingness to just jump in and have a go at creating such a beautiful space!
What a great video! Watching the journey is a total treat, so glad you shared this. I need to get out in the front garden to finish the brick border but the 95°+ F (35°C) have done me in. It will wait. Thanks for another great video.🐝🐞🌻
Been watching from the start of your gardening journey. You have come soo far in a short space of moments. This is your never ending story, of all Happy things. Enjoy the process xx
Your hard work paid off, it looks amazing 👏 😍 🏴
Your garden is just lovely 🤠
Your garden is beautiful
Great garden. Incredibly hands on. Johannesburg South Africa.
Thanks Carolyn x
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!!
Aw thanks so much for watching ♥️
1) how the heck do you stay so clean?
2) you’re doing amazing!
I think you’d enjoy salvia shrubs. They come in every colour you could imagine. Cut back down low each spring when you see the new growth coming through and you get lush green growth and colour from March/April to October
The garden looks great, I like gardening as well it's very relaxing.
Lovely. I watched the beginning of your garden so it’s nice to see where it’s at!
Hello from Greece . I like your video very much. 🌹
Your garden is so nice! Good to see the transformation.
It was a joy to see this video from the beginning of your garden. Great work!!! Cheers
You are totally amazing and I’ve been gardening for 70yrs.
Great journey from the beginning.🇳🇿👍💐😃 Smiles from down under.
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely Catherine, it has been so hot that my poor garden looks like it does at the end of September!
All of your hard work has produced a beautiful space! What a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of tea and the company of friends.
Love watching this week. Very interesting to see your garden evolve. Thanks for so much info . You inspire me x
I put in a couple of pollinator watering systems. For the littlest insects who might drown in a deeper pond. I just placed a couple of ceramic chargers filled with pebbles and water in my garden. Being Arizona, though, I get to fill them up everyday.
Such a great transformation it’s beautiful 🤩
Your garden has come a long way...so satisfying. A great job!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love how you've created such a calm and peaceful space! It's beautiful. 🤍
Thank you! 😊
AND in the middle of all your gardening, you had your book published!!!! You are truly an inspiration to me. I find myself following in your tidying up activities in my own little space after watching each of your Sunday videos. Thank you so much for sharing your life and thoughts with us. What goes around, comes around. Ciao Bella, Ryn
