Happy New Year!! Interesting video as always. Love your shawl, looking forward to seeing it finished and the chest of drawers is looking really good. I am still trying to finish my crocheted navy jumper and started a shawl as well. Wishing you a great 2025.
So good to see you and hear what you've been up to. Love diney 40:52
Oh I loved the Moonflower Murders our favourite is Midsomer Murders we watch them a lot 😂😂. Happy New Year Rachel here’s to a calm and lovely 2025, Ali ☔️🥶🇨🇦
Happy new year 🥳🥳🙏🙏🙏
Happy New Year! I hope you're having a lovely time. Please let me know what you've been up to and share your recommendations for things to do until the gardening year is ready to start Xx

Glad you like them! Thank you for the encouragement Xx
❤🎄❤️ Glad you had a cosy peaceful Christmas. Have a happy new year 🎉
Thank you very much 😊 xx
😂😂 so not the only whose dog takes over the bed. Hope you had a simply fantastic Christmas Rachel, Ali 🎄🧑🎄🇨🇦
🤣🤣🤣 yep, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I am falling out most of the time 🤣🤣🤣
Nice little video. I have been doing nothing at all.
Thank you. I hope you've been enjoying a rest 😊
Seasons Greetings Friends. I hope you are all safe and well this holiday. Please let me know how you have spent your holiday. Best wishes Xx
As a landscape gardener of 24 years now,,I grow fruit and veg for customers and ourselves..I shall watch your progress with interest 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
Thank you :)
Merry Christmas from Ireland🥳🥳🙏🙏🎅🤶🎅🧑🎄🧑🎄
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the festivities Xx
Looking good for the time of the year :) I am sure the wine will start growing again in the spring :)
I hope so too! Thank you very much Xx
@clairescooking1173 0 seconds ago Hoping to rescue olive trees (will send pics) as they’d were battered by the high winds. The leaves look burnt very strange and sorry for themselves
I am sad for your trees Claire! I hope you can rescue them Xxx
We had a day of sunshine but alas it is now cold wet rainy 😢 but it’s December what would we expect 😂. I have a few brassicas but other than broad beans, onions and garlic is all going on. Have a very Merry Christmas Rachel, Ali 🧑🎄🎄🇨🇦 Ps my cali poppies are also green 😀
I had no idea the cali poppies would keep thriving! I will plant this one out if it's still going in the spring. Enjoy the holiday period Ali, very best wishes to you and thank you for your continued support to my channel. Xxx
Hi everyone, I hope you're all enjoying December where you are. Are you hatching any garden plans for the new year? 🎉
Hi Rach, love the content. I have been watching Moonflower Murders on iplayer, which was really good, are there are more stories with the same characters to watch. The audio book I am listening to at the moment is The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, really enjoying that at the moment. My crafting at the moment is money cards for the grandkids, I have just finished the design and printed them off, really pleased with them and crochet bags for my friends presents, each one has a different style. Keep up the interesting content. X
Wow Sandy that's loads! I especially love how much effort you are putting into your Christmas gifts. Handmade gifts are genuine treasures. Thank you for the audiobook recommendation, I have added it to my wish list for next month. It sounds very exciting!! and I'll have a look at Moonflower Murders, it sounds right up my street. Thank you so much. Lots of love Xxx
Do you know if Sarah Humphrey was at Harrogate? 27:17
I don't know I am sorry
Na sounds fine Rach 👍. Love the office colour it blends right to the outdoors colours. Glad you’re feeling better 🥰. Have a wonderful day, Ali ☔️🥶🥶🇨🇦
Yay! Thank you!
Wow u have been busy!love u format x
Thank you! I am really glad you enjoy
Hello there, all good wishes to you 😊.
and to you! I hope you are having a good week Xx
@rachelfosterdiy Yes thank you ! :) xx
Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy this video and if you have any recommendations for books, audiobooks or shows you like to watch please share them with me blow. Maybe you're a crafter too, in which case I'd love to know what you've been working on this month. Best wishes Xx
It’s comforting to just come along ! Think I need to invest in a soup maker.. do they have different settings for different consistency?does the veg go in totally raw?
I love my soup maker. I actually bought it because I refuse to buy a blender when I know I have one somewhere in storage (2.5 years and I've still not found it!!). The soup maker has settings for smooth, chunky, blend and one other setting I've never used...maybe smoothies? You chuck raw veg and water in, 20 minutes later you have soup!! Perfect for working from home. I'll drop you a link to the one I have so you can find out more Xx amzn.to/4fBYVJl
I am new to the channel and really like it. I like to see what other people are creating outside and indoors.😊
Thank you very much Xx
@rachelfosterdiy 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕😁
Hello, I love the idea of just collecting your food from the back garden/ growing area.😊
It's honestly so worthwhile, I really treasure it. It doesn't have to look like anything fancy. When I first moved to this house I had two broken laundry baskets outside the backdoor which I grew lettuce in. I highly recommend Xx
The walk you were on looked lovely. Love the yoga film bits on the end! Lol x
Thank you lovely Xx
I enjoyed the video,sitting by the fire having a chat after a walk on an autumn day..great 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for letting me know :)
Ps I loved working from home the commute was amazing 😂😂
It's the best :-P
Yes it’s difficult to find content in winter but I think just touching base with people works too. Looks a fab walk Rachel and blue skies a bonus, Ali ☔️☔️☔️🇨🇦
Thank you Ali, your support is always appreciated Xx
Your garden looks very neat and tidy. Diney 😊
Thanks! 😊
Hi everyone thanks if you've watched my video this week. It's a bit of a different format this week so I'd really love to know what you think and as always let me know what you've been up to this week xx
I love your channel.😊
Thank you very much for saying so. I hope to see you here again 💓
@rachelfosterdiy I will be back. Hahaha. You are a calming person.
Beautiful blue sky ❤
I miss it! I hope it comes again, the weather has been so gray since the beginning of November
Just found you and subscribed, my roses are still flowering, just about! Kale is looking good but most of the heat loving stuff is done!
Thank you very much for being here 💕 One of my roses looks like it's about to come back into flower, I'm so excited ☺️
California poppy is beautiful Rachel saving seed should be easy 🤞. I have to scatter some seed that likes the cold of winter to germinate but I need to top up the beds first. All coming up good Rachel, have a fab week, Ali ☔️☔️🇨🇦
Thanks Ali 😁 I am so delighted by that one poppy plant, I can't wait to have more next year. You've reminded me I have some Larkspur in the freezer I really should get out!!
Well done Rachel. I am in the middle of planting out my wall flowers. Best of luck Diney XXX
Thank you Xx
I hope you enjoy this tour of my allotment. I'd be delighted if you would share what's are doing really well in your gardens this November?
Rachel, i use sheeting to cover winter beds and keep down weeds,or a thick layer of manure,not used straw before..👍
Thank you for sharing. I am curious how you manage sheeting when a bed is planted?
@@rachelfosterdiy Good point 😂 😂
Have you heard of strulch ..it is a type of straw for mulching around plants,but can be expensive 👍
@@GanggangPeanut I haven't heard of this but I am going to Google it, immediately. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi ya. Love the drawer project and the office move, girl after my own heart! X
haha! can't ever be still Xx
Oh wow my peas are not happy with the cold actually but then again it is wet too 😢. Amazing what tiny slugs and snails can do to decimate your plants. Garden look awesome Rachel and lush. Have a great week, Ali 🥶☔️🇨🇦
Thank you so much Ali, good to hear from you as always Xx
My goto weed suppression would be black plastic or cardboard my 1st time using straw with added chicken manure still bits coming through but not as much Happy gardening Richardx
Thank you for sharing! I think I am going to try straw so it's good to know it has some value. I am unsure how to manage sheets of weed suppressing membrane on beds that are planted.
@rachelfosterdiy hi I tagged you in a short on my homepage Richardx
Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me for another week of allotment gardening. Please let me know what your choices for weed suppressing would be over winter, has anyone had any luck with straw?
Looks fantastic!
Thank you! It's worked so well :)
Love the green..jobs always seem to take longer than planned but see the new home office is evolving. I could visualize a monstera in there with u x
Great minds...I have two already :-P
😊❤😮
Thank you
I don’t blame you Rachel I don’t like painting but you are doing a great job and it looks great. Perhaps a nice mirror to reflect the outside and so,you can still see the yard. Have a super week, Ali ☔️☔️🇨🇦
Great idea!! That will work beautifully Xx
Hi if you don't like painting why not have fun with it after the base coat just dip your brushes in paint and flick the bristles on the items I have in the past done this on walls and put some old maps in my bathroom with a coat of varnish on top Richardx
I love this idea! I haven't worked out what to do with the draw fronts yet, this could be the answer :)
I hope you like this week's video. Please let me know if you'd like to see more of this content in future. Best wishes Xx
Well done
Thank you Xx
Hi ya. Garden looking good. X
