Happy New Year to my favorite person! I can’t believe you have roses in Jan.

Sending you warm hugs and blankets and tea!! Take care!!!

Hi Rachel, happy new year. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I love all of you seedlings , it makes spring feel like it around the corner. I have all my seeds ready to start sowing and will be setting up all my shelves, grow lights and heat mats real soon. Not looking forward to this cold snap but for a former Jersey girl this is nothing😂. That care and happy growing.

Your roses are beautiful ❤️

Execelente jardin

Hi Rachel, I do love your videos, and your potting shed is just delightful ❤. January, for us, is when Mother Nature does her cleaning, the cold and dark is unforgiving. This is when I leave her to it and I pop off to England to spend time with family. When I come back there will be plenty to do. It was lovely to see so much diversity still in your garden, I realise how much I miss it all in these winter months. As you say, spring is just around the corner and we're heading to the light. Best wishes to you all for 2025. Many thanks 😊

20s is definitely a cold snap! You are going to be so buff 💪🏻 after moving all your pots to your shed! 10 weeks is crazy, that will pass so quickly! Your cuttings and seedlings are looking so happy and healthy, you are going to be in a transplanting frenzy come springtime! I’m so glad that you still some beautiful butterflies and other pollinators visiting your garden in winter!! I’m so jealous of all your gorgeous roses and all the bright colors all in your life, what a blessing to have those glimmers to bask in everyday! Thanks for sharing all the beauty with us especially your beachy sunsets!

I love hearing the rain on your potting shed. I’d probably hang out in there if the heater was turned on! lol Fun! Yes, here in middle GA we’re going to have 4 mornings in the 20’s. I’ll probably double cover a couple of my huge blue planters with succulents today & on top of that plastic to keep the rain off them. ( I’ll remove the plastic right after it rains keeping the blankets on top of the planters.) Everything else has been in my garage since Dec. I have a little heater out there, too.) ugh. Winter can be such a pain. 😝 Take care girl & keep warm until next time…your GA gardening friend❤

I’m new to your channel beautiful garden.

Have a beautiful Sunday activity God bless

I enjoyed the tour of your shed. What a creative trellis or whatever you’d call it w/ the old plant stand on top of a pot for the plant to grow up & into. That zinnia is beautiful & showing out

Not sure how much it helps but one channel said if you can cover the plants w/ a pot & place a larger pot over that it creates a layer of insulation.

It’s really hard to hear you and your closed captioned is not on. 😢

Beautiful garden

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Rachel! I just had to comment that I’m a Brambly hedge fan as well! 😁 Thank you for sharing how to find garden books online, I had no idea!

My garden is a pollinators Haven also, and the butterflies do the same here they stop by for nourishment and sometimes lay eggs. And then move on it depends on what plants that they prefer to seek nourishment from is in bloom. I noticed that there are several different plants blooming yet they prefer some over others. They definitely choose the Mexican Sunflowers constantly from early Summer until the fall up until the first hard frost.

I LOVE your potting shed. Adorable and so functional. I also got the David Austin catalogue. oh boy. Talk about temptation overload. I have three new ones coming in early spring. Where I'm putting them, I have no idea. We've had a very mild fall/winter so far in Houston. It's in the 70s today, on Christmas! We haven't even had a frost, so my roses have been blooming and sending out beautiful new growth. But who knows what's coming round the bend. Thank you for all the inspiration and gardening joy you've shared this year. Wish you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

what a beautiful butterfly garden 🐞🌺🌻

Rachel you will love that candytuft! I got some from mom’s garden and I love it so much! Did you know there is annual candytuft? I love it, too. I could send you some seeds😊. Thank you for the beach shots! Gorgeous! Deanna

Your potting shed is so cute! Making it homey will make it so enjoyable to spend time in there sowing and propagating. It’s going to be interesting to see whether the poppy seeds germinate next spring. Wishing you and yours blessings and joy this holiday season and always.

Thank you Rachel for another sweet video. I love all of it.

Love to find a kindred spirit Gardner in my neck of the gulf coast beaches!! I live in pensacola fl and love to garden !! I’m going to use the poppy seed hack lol we shall see.: thanks for sharing!!!

Candytuft is a beautiful perennial. I have it as well.

What a charming Potting Shed! Thanks for sharing your book list.

Hi Rachel, Your garden shed is really cute. Thank you for sharing the archive book website. The clip you showed of the ocean makes me want to take a drive to the beach! God Bless you! 😊

Great visit today-as usual! Thanks for the info about the books. Enjoy your beautiful day in your potting shed!

Sorry not tuned in for awhile been busy. Anyway glad to see you are still going strong. Down here in Navarre Fl no frost yet lowest temp was 36 one night for a couple of hours so that’s exciting to see if we can get to new year without a frost. Extended forest looks hopeful. Will be interesting to see if the poppies come up. Have a merry christmas

Wow Rachel! Driving all the way to Canada! I bet you really did see all kinds of weather. Hope you had a great time. (I’ve always wanted to go to Vancouver.) Your potting shed looks so pretty inside & fun! My girls all couldn’t come home for Christmas since it falls in the middle of the week & for 2 of them, it interferes with work so they all came home Thursday & left today & we had an early Christmas. We had so much fun & what a joy for them to all come home together at the same time, once again. Anyway after Christmas I’m always ready for spring but there always something to clean up in the yard so that will be something for me to do. As far as seeds, counting on those re-seeders to do their job & I’ll buy only a few additional plant/flowers this year because honestly, my garden beds are full. 😆 Hoping you & your family have a very Merry Christmas!🎄Hugs from GA😊

Hi Rachel. Your garden shed is just perfect, what a lovely place to spend some time while we're waiting for spring. Today, I spent a pleasant time in the garden, foraging for a Christmas display. It's incredible how much you can find. I cut from evergreens, also from the now brown candles of agastache. They still have their aniseed scent and look lovely in the arrangement. I also added some flowers I dried from the summer. I'm dreaming of long, bright, sunny days, though 😅. Thanks for sharing your book collection, your travels, and your warm winter days. 😀

Good morning from SETX (zone 9a recently changed to 9b 🤷🏻‍♀️) I still have hummingbirds hoping to finally get some to overwinter here, cuphea and salvia plants are still going strong for them

love all your suggestions!

I love your channel & live in zone 9 almost on the coast in Ms. My failed attempt of fall seed planting of native flora pollinators depressed me. I’d have coffee & a prayer & only 1 packed of over a dozen came up. I’m still hoping maybe some needing cold weather will still pop up but doubt it. Only one sage packet came up. I also successfully killed a few potted natives. I really want a green thumb. My husband is better than I at this. His veg gardens are beautiful. Anyway, will do again in the spring but I’m gonna go buy potted plants. I’d love to show him your yard. Please consider having a garden tour in real! Let your followers hear a walkabout tale of your progression. I’d love to buy a table for garden tea for two event. A fond memory of mine is a walking tour of the yards in the garden district of NewOrleans. I think it was a charity thing. We went to several backyards & some owners offered comments & lemonade. We saw Ann Rice autographing books at a yard. I’m guessing hers?

Rachael, what’s happening in the garden shed? I must have missed the makeover. What a fun little vignette!

Loved seeing your butterflies!

Your garden is magical!

I've never had a zebra longwing in my butterfly garden. Its beautiful! The Lord showed you favor. My flowers have died back. In the last week we have had 4 mornings of freezing temperatures (low 20s) in South Carolina. Your garden continues to look great!

God sent that zebra longwing to brighten your day! Loved seeing what your garden looks like right now. Miss you!🦋

Cant imagine how it Will grow aftar some days ahead good luck dear friend i am your new friend

Ooooooh the zebra longwing!!! So magical! She sat still for you so perfectly! I’ve seen one in my yard once. Such a thrill. The fam had to hear about it for at least half a day! lol. I had no idea that passionvine was their host plant! It was so helpful to see how/how much you mist your cuttings! 👀 Your garden is so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us!💕

OMG i’M dYiNg Desperate furniture salespeople 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It’s SO TRUE Such pretty combinations! 👀 Love gomphrena so much! Thanks for the shout out! 😉 You are so sweet. Ok, hold the phone. HOW CUTE IS YOUR POTTING SHED? Your cuttings look amazing!! lol the paint speckles! I’ve done that so many times when I’m spray painting something on the driveway! Oh that toad is so pretty!! So many creatures! It always makes me smile when you show us critters! And the snake skin!! Cool! Oh how wonderful! I’m so excited about your gulf coast penstemon! Mine looks awful and has decidedly not bounced back from the hot summer and drought here in the fall! I wonder if I should try it in a pot next spring? Hmmmm. I love that apple blossom snapdragon! Swoon! I’ve got gulf frit cats too! So fun!! What a gorgeous tour! Thanks for sharing, my sweet friend!

Nice Video

Very special having the zebra longwing visiting your garden 👏👏 This morning there was a perfect monarch in the garden 👏👏 Enjoying the cool weather and doing much the same as you with propagation 😊 Have a great week 🍁🦋🌻

So many beautiful butterflies! That zebra longing is indeed magical!

:Long wings are really striking! I do get lots of those in the early summer but haven't seen any lately. Lucky you! I did find a calico cat in my garden but since she is calico, that means I can expect to find her kittens soon., also. It is suppose to be 28F here Tuesday night and it did freeze this morning but wasn't a hard freeze - just 30F. Still very cold and not cormfortable for a small kitten. If I can tame her up, I hope to get her in a live trap and get her fixed. Whoever her owner is (people dump cats in our neighborhood all the time) will just have to be without their kitten. She has been behind our pump house for weeks and lives off the land except I finally broke down and gave her a plate of turkey yesterday. She didn't tun when I called her but did leave when I walked toward her. I left a plate of turkey and warm gravy and it was all gone soon. Today I put out a plate of turkey broth and will soon go check on that. I DO NOT want to attract cats but she is so cute and it's so cold outside. Just checked and I had about 50 ants and a bee stuck in it. No kitten. But it looks like it had some of the broth was gone. Your garden is still beautiful and providing the insects with nutrition and you with beauty - gardens sure are giving/sharing plants. Lesson to all of us!.

exciting day in the garden

Love your potting shed

Your videos haven't been showing up. I've missed you!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤

Did you sow seeds for the Butter Daisy? If so where did you purchase them?
