Happy Sunday my loves! Hope you enjoy this little gardening video, our poor garden has been so neglected this year!
What are you all getting up to today? I've just tidied my chaotic house and now i'm off in the bath to freshen up before a day of wedding planning & ticking off to-dos! 🌟♥
Happy Sunday Kay xx.
I've been steaming me floors and sortin out washing ready for another week 🥰
Happy Sunday Kay. I’ve walked the dog and worked in the courtyard this morning. Just had a cuppa and watched you both work in the garden.
The purple like flowers look like chrysanthemums, the purple plant with yellow flowers in your pavers looks like oxalis. It looks lovely but can get out of hand.
Your trees along the fence are lovely and will give you some privacy from neighbors. Love your kitties.
Enjoy your wedding planning and rest of the new week. Good job on the garden and team work makes the dream work as they say. It always feels so good after the work to have a good soak. ❤
Mowing our front lawn, weeding and general tidying up. So good when it's done.
I think that phlox would look very nice in that blank space in the garden.
Very nice when you get back from your Honeymoon a welcome site of the yard you see have a great week.
We spend hours sorting our garden and a few weeks later it’s right back to being a total mess😀
About the Geranium, just get rid of all the dead flowers, but gently trim them off, dont pluck them because it damages the plant. Trim them just bellow the dead flowers where you are the green turns to brown. Same goes for the dead leaves, but you can just softly take them off because they just fall off. And finally take the Weeds. That should do it!
Love your videos and ideas, wish you the best!! 😘😘😘
I can’t go out much June-August due to the mosquitoes that plague my U.S. area, so my garden also gets weedy & overgrown during these months. Fall is always the ‘clean-up time’ for me when it’s cooler & plants are getting themselves ready for winter. Definitely takes lots of hard work & you two did a terrific job!
Just love watching you both work as a team, you are going to have a fab marriage as that's the key ...teamwork
Wow...big job. And what a beautiful garden... being supervised by the cats ....x..and i just love your home.....
We had a eucalyptus that we planned to keep as a bush. We chopped it back every year, but then missed a year. By the following year we had to get a tree surgeon to cut it back. It was well over 25ft tall within a few years!! 😂
A suggestion for some perennials, year on year flowering, Shasta daisy, chrysanthemum white, always look nice in a cottage garden, give height and colour. Enjoyed your video, many thanks for sharing. Have a great week
Kay, you and Dom are doing a fantastic job. Your 'winging it' is working! The small purple flowers are Colchicums, or Autumn Crocuses and the other daisy type flower looked like an Osteospermum. Eucalyptus is a quick grower and can get out of hand very swiftly, so do keep your eye on it. Your garden is gorgeous 😍
The Colchicums are beautiful 😍 thanks for identifying them. I have not seen those before
Hydrangea need to prune it and out of the cutting you can just stick straight into to soil and you have more hydrangeas
For height to your borders I would recommend salvia, delphinium, verbena, all of which the bees love
Hi Kay, you need to pick the pears and ripen indoors.😊
That hydrangea you’ve got is a hydrangea macrophylla. In August/September they produce the buds for next year’s flowers, so if you prune it now, you will forfeit next year’s blooms. Best is to deadhead right after flowering, before August rolls around!
I love Dom’s haircut. I noticed it in another video.
Such a lovely autumn garden clean up!
The boys at 12.30 🤩🐈🐈
I love seeing the furkids too. 😍 They both express a lot of love towards their pawrents with their body language. ❤
I really like your gardening videos.
Your garden looks so pretty. Learning on the job is the best way. Look at cottage plants for that area you want to fill like Roses lavender honey suckle. Well done. 😍
Hi Kay, garden looking good now, gardening is hard work but good to see it when it is tidied up, l had a Hydrangea did not look to good, l left it till spring and then cut it right back it came back but did not flower that year but the next year it flowered, they needs lots of water then they wont go like that they are super greedy xx
Leave what’s left of those hydrangeas in the dirt, they will sprout back up in the spring and grow into brand new bushes.
In the US I cut my hydrangea down to a couple of feet and it grows back full and bushy and blooms beautifully. It can’t hurt to try.
Me again... also dried eucalyptus leaves bundles make great fire starters and the house smells wonderful. You just need a little bit and watch the fire start so easily. I wish we had some in Quebec but it is too cold for them to survive. I use pine needles and cinnamon sticks instead.
so true, they make beautiful arragements with other flowers too and the smell...divine :)
Very nice and beautiful shering My friend sending my lot's of love 💕
Just finished a four hour LTLYL binge (have another four planned heehee - trying not to leave comments on every video but couldn’t resist on this one 🥹! It was so adorable watching Rory and Echo watching you and following you through the kitchen windows! I was thinking… 🫣 the three larger clay/ceramic (?) planter pots at 16:59 would look great in the bus stop under the window beside the egg chair? What do ya think?? PS I loveee your OOTD! It’s always been my style but I can’t wear it! I also love how much of a team you and Dom are in life 🥹🤗🙏🏽🥰 oh gosh! I wrote that as I am watching and just got to 20:36 where you prove my point lol! 🥹🥹🥹 phewww I am exhausted watching you lol, time to get a hot yumyum and rest with more videos heehee!🤗
There's different types of hydrangeas. Some like being trimmed, some don't like being trimmed at all. Some also look dead at a certain time of year but aren't. I think with that big hydrangea bush just dead head the spent flowers but just pick off the crispy leaves rather than pruning. With that empty area does it get sun on that fence? If so I suggest a dwarf lemon and dwarf mandarin tree. You can espalier them across the fence. The oily warm scent would also reach indoors during the summer as its close to the window and door.
Your garden looks really nice. Your eucalyptus tree will get really tall and they smell wonderful, we had them all over the place in California, now I live in Texas. I can't wait to see your pictures from your wedding
this was so inspiring to me! thank you for sharing! so lovely! love it
You and Dom make such a great team in the Garden. Your Gardens so beautiful too. I’m scared of wasps and insects too 🙈 we’re moving house soon and that’s the one thing I’m dreading about having a Garden is the “wildlife” 😂😂😂
Love your garden. What a treat to see from inside the window.
Garden looks good Kay👍👍❤
Hello sweet Kay. Great job on your garden tidy up. The purple flowers are autumn crocuses. They pop up in my garden every fall. May I suggest you get yourself a pair of cute rubber garden booties. There are alot available in different styles and patterns and are so cute. They'll keep your feet dry and your socks clean. I love them. Again, good job, your garden looks great. I'm heading out to work on mine now as you have inspired me. Thank you!
What a clean up. The garden looks great. So nice that you get out together to do it.
We will buy our first house and this is so good for inspiration. I look forward to have my own garden ❤️
I've missed seeing Mr Dom in the volgs hi Mr grumpy ,garden looks amazing again gardening is never ending but I love a good garden xx
What a great job, especially your patio corner. 👍- Frances
Good work by you two. Looks so much better now. Please note that Eucalyptus is dangerous for cats, incase you didn't know.
The garden looks wonderful. You and Dom did a lot of work!
People say cut hydrangeas april but i always do it as soon as it dies n it grows back every time x
Hi dear Kay🤗 Beautiful as always. 😊👍You are smart, both of you. I'm already looking forward to when it blooms again in the spring. I wish beautiful and a fragrant autumn 🧡🍁🍂 and I greet you with love. Mother from Slovakia🇸🇰
Hi. You are such an inspiration. While watching your video I have been making a list of jobs that need doing in my garden to put it to bed for the winter. Thank you 😊
Cut the hydrangea hard back, to just above the trunk, and the likelihood is that it will be absolutely fine next year. Feed in spring and water.
The pears need to be picked, or they will rot.
Fuschias good and hardy plants x
Garden is looking great. Love your home and garden vlogs! You both work together as a great team and i'm always impressed with your motivation. I have also got motivated this weekend and got some bulbs planted, grass cut, few weeks out etc. It's quite overwhelming how much there is to do inside and out but slowly and surely I guess x
Would be nice to find out what those purple flowers are down the end and plant some up the top end.
Don’t know if you could split them and replant 🤷♀️ as they are so pretty 😊
O jardim ficou bonito, bom trabalho. ❤😊🌺🌹🍄
Love your channel. And your garden. Miss my own since we no longer have one. Your garden is lovely and sunny - we used to have honeysuckle which I loved best in the winter because of the little red jewel like berries it gets at that time of year. A very easy to look after shrub is pieris - it’s evergreen easily contained and has lovely small white flowers and the leaves go from fiery red to green so it’s interesting. Very good for containers too. Just discovered your vlogmas from last year and loving that! 🥰
Loved this vlog Kay. I was gardening yesterday planting bulbs, repotting plants as pot bound.Ive taking cuttings from shrubs to grow again, have been successful last year. You & Dom together are a joy to watch, thank you.
You guys did a great job! 👏
Hi Kay your cottage garden looks gorgeous love you.
Thanks for always sharing fun and creative content! The garden looks very lush and green, so beautiful! I think you two do a great job taking care of your garden, mine is overgrown, ugh 😑 Sending love & hugs to you sweet Kay 🥰❤️❌⭕️🤗
Aww! So happy you enjoyed it! ♥ Thank you, it is a never ending job isn't it! I'll be glad when it goes to sleep for the winter this year 😂 x
Bonjour from Quebec,
I learned from a well know gardener here in Quebec that strawberry plants need to be cut down to the ground for winter and covered with either leaves or mulch to protect them from the cold. Of course, here in Canada, temperatures can drop down to -35F so it's important to protect the plants. Might not be the case in the UK.
Thought you might want to research this for your own little patch of goodies:)
Strawberries are pretty hardy here in the UK Linda. We don't normally cut them down, but if the leaves do turn brown over winter, a bit of a haircut in spring and they take off and look good again once the sun starts to warm things up. xx
“Help me I’m poor” WE LOVE BRIDESMAIDS” 🤣👏
Can't cope with stuff everywhere drives me scatty lol gardening no no for me but you guys seem.to cope well with it fair play to you ❤️ 👏 👌 😂love the Mr grumpy cup not that you look it lolthat was weirdly satisfying watchin the grass bein cut in faster mode 😉 👍
As an Aussie I can tell you the eucalypt will end up VERY big.
I needed this Garden Motivation 💗
Happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
Can I ask a silly question but where you live do you have to pay for your brown bin to be emptied, in Sunderland where I live I have to pay, I think its wrong but when u do a lot of gardening its a must for me, garden looks fab, plants have really thrived this year, always learning on the job with gardening, I call myself a Google gardener ( it works for me ) 😄😄😄
I live in North Yorkshire and we pay for our brown bin too. Think Kay lives in East Yorkshire 😊
@@cathrynsuarez1695 crazy isn't it having to pay when councils sells the brown waste on, just my one peeve in life x
What a wonderful transformation. xx
Kay can I ask what camera u use? I’m looking in to getting my own camera for hobby use but I would like a good camera for picture and videos xx
Off topic so apologies in advance but I just want to rant about work. I loved my job for first year but now been there 2.5 years and there has been so many changes to my role. I've worked really hard but I feel like there is always so much demand and expectation. Were we born to accept all these changes, were we supposed to be always multi tasking (not according to buddhism) and I happen to agree. Multitasking is stressful and bad for us. I feel like some people don't pull their weight yet I try so hard but am still never good enough, should have done this better etc. I'm just tired and burnt out but it's still not good enough. Maybe I'm extra stressed cus it's nearly time of month buy its still true. Sigh. Wish there was a way out of being stuck in this system. I don't want to always have to strive to prove myself or to improve myself. Ive ways been of the opinion that there is always room for improvement but now im starting to feel like i don't want to constantly try and do better. I do a v good job. I am enough but this system keeps dragging me down.
🥰🥰🥰
Oh Kay why didn’t you keep some of the eucalyptus for your flower arranging.
