My Garden and the Dinosaurs Who Live There
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 ธ.ค. 2018
Welcome to my garden in central Scotland where I grow all sorts of plants, fruit, veg and flowers. Oh, and I also keep bees, quail and chickens aka my little dinosaurs. Through this channel I will take a light-hearted and informative look at the trials and tribulations and complete and utter joy of gardening, as well as look at keeping chickens and quail as pets and for eggs, and bees for honey.
I moved to my current home in 2022 and am basically creating the garden from an overgrow and neglected mess to something that is both productive and an oasis of calm. Prior to this I was in the west of Scotland where I built my garden from scratch. I have learned how to garden through practical experience and experimentation. I have made lots of mistakes along the way but also have had my fair share of success. My chickens regularly feature in my videos, as well as making impromptu appearances. I can’t tell you how much fun it is to have them around. Please come and join me.

Nice review of the total garden. Cheers to the 2025 season!!
Thanks, you too! 😍
Hi Mags good video on your onion seeds have a happy new year 👍🥔🌱
Thanks Robert. Happy New Year to you too.
Hi Mags. Merry Christmas to you. Sorry I’ve not watched in such a long time. Hope you have a great 2025 growing season. Take care. Nick
Hiya Nick. Great to hear from you. Here’s to a happy, healthy and productive 2025.
Hope you had a great Christmas Mags and thank you for your continued support. ❄️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Quiet Xmas and got some garden work done 😆. Had to take advantage of the mild weather. Hope yours was good too.
@mygardenanddinosaurs didn't do a thing on Christmas day and Boxing day, making up for it now.......🤣.
Happy New Year
Right back atcha 😁
Yummy Harvest🥰
Hi Mags Great sorts of onions you sowed. I am still undecided what main crop onions i will be sowing this year. Good luck with all your sowings. 👍👍👍👍👍🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅
Thanks Rob. I look forward to seeing what you decide on.
Well done Mags. I have seeds ready (can't remember, came from Franchi seeds of Italy - always do well here when I remember to sow them) and I can't find my onion sets and shallot sets - I planted the garlic outside and they were all together, but didn't get around to them. Arghhh old fogey, me! Still getting ready for the kids coming. But January will be the kick off for me. Happy Hogmanay next! xxx
Hiya Kerry. There are so many possibilities for growing aren’t there. Hope you settle into the season after we get New Year out the way. Hope 2025 is a good year for us all.
Hear, hear Mags xxx
Bravo mags hiç boş durmuyon çalışkan azimlisin👍👏🌻🪷🪻💮🍁🥀🏵️🌷💐🌸☘️🌺🌼 Türkiyede' havalar çok soğudu tüm videoların için teşekkürler 😊🙋
Hi Mags I am going to sow those same onions next week.
Cool. Snap 😁😆
Enjoyed your video Mags. I planted onion seeds on boxing day last year and not one seed germinated this year I've planted winter onion sets along with my garlic. Hopefully they won't bolt and I'll get some nice onions 🤞 I'll enjoy watching the progress of your onions. 🙂
Hiya Mags. Hope my onions germinate 😉 and hope your sets do well. Take care.
I need to get my onions in the ground by January 23rd as I am going to be away for 5 weeks from the end of January
Hiya Stella. Going somewhere nice?
@ I will be going to Malawi then on to Uganda 😁 hot weather great food can’t wait
We were hit with the 70 mile/ hrs wind from the northwest which is not the usual direction we get wind and as a result with had 3 large trees uprooted and a large bough from another tree which embedded a foot into the ground. Hope you have a good New Year .
Gosh that sounds brutal. Hope there were no other casualties. Here’s to a happy, healthy and peaceful 2024.
Those hills would make me lazy as all I would do is stare at them ❤
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎉🎊
Thanks Yvonne. You too.
Merry Christmas mags and happy new year when it comes to you all
Thank you so much and same to you and yours.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year Mags. 🎄🎅⛄🌲
Thanks Mags and you too.
Merry Christmas!! 🎄☃️
Same to you! 🎄
HO HO HO! Love the hats! Super view of the snowy hills - mountains! Looking good, those garlic plants are growing well. Quite exciting to see them poking through. Brilliant trowel Christmas tree decoration - made me chuckle! Merry Christmas Mags and hubby - have a super new year too! xx
Thanks Kerry. Have a cabby time. 🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas Mags and Tom hers to an amazing 2025 🎉, Ali 🥶☔️🎄🧑🎄🇨🇦
Those Carrots & Parsnips look great and a good size for containers, may grow mine in containers this coming season due to the Carrot Fly issues I have had. 🎅Happy gardening, Terry King.
Thanks Terry. I’m pleased enough with them 😊🌺🌸🌼🎄

Nice harvest Mags. Lovely for Christmas Dinner 😊. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you.
Thank you! You too! 🎄
A really enjoyable watch, Mags! You have a lovely harvest there. The carrots looked fabulous! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!🎉 Much love, Annie 😘and Mr Paddy 🐕 🐞🐝🌱🎄🎁❤️
Thanks Annie. I was pleased. Have a wonderful Xmas and New Year. Take care. Mags. 🎄

Thanks Ali and hear hear. Merry Xmas. 🎄
👍👍👍
Nice one Mags. I'll be grabbing a few veggies for my Christmas dinner, tomorrow.
Thanks Steve. Hope you got some nice veggies harvested.
@@mygardenanddinosaurs Spuds, carrots, parsnips, sprouts. Was hoping for a cauliflower but it has gone a bit too yellow.
Great job mags, merry Christmas 🎉
Thank you. You too. 😁
Repurpose is the best. That should work nicely. We have a wood burning stove up north , and ended up putting the wood in half the garage. Bummer that it takes up the space, but also nice to keep it dry.
Thanks Robin. It definitely seems to be doing ok. Looking back there are things I would do differently but so long as it does what it is meant to, that’s all that matters. 😆
Awesome Mags 👍, hope Tom had a wonderful birthday, Ali 🌞🥶🇨🇦
Thanks Ali. We had a quiet day for Toms birthday but a pleasant one. Take care. Mags
Well done Mags on creating a wood store.👏 Great to have plenty of free wood if you have a log burner or fire Have a great.week ❤ x
Thanks Linda. It is doing the job so that’s all we need. All the best. Mags
Only buy girls. Boys are too aggressive. They're very hard to sex but the vendor has watched their behaviour and knows what's what's what and will offload the males to you.
Do they go under heat naturally? What is you bedding? How often to you change it. Do you take it all out? Hope to set up my own but for old folk home!
They are mostly sensible enough to go under heat but quail do seem to want to unalive themselves and sometimes you’ll find the odd one freezing. I’ve brought a few back from the brink by blowing hot air on them and sitting them on hot water bottles 🥴. I use a hemp bedding which keeps things dry and fresh. I use a cat litter scoop to pick out obvious poos and mix thoroughly, I then top up where required. I will replace the bedding every month. Good luck. Mags.
Fab Collab Mags Really enjoyed watching it. I just realised that I hadn't left a comment 😊 Thanks for inviting me ❤ xx
No worries. Thanks for taking part.
Thank you so very much Mags for inviting it was fun and great to hear about everyone’s experiences and journeys ❤. Have a marvellous week everyone ❤, Ali 🥶🇨🇦
Thanks Ali. It was super that you could take part. Mags
Fab collab Mags, thanks so much for asking me to take part. I really enjoyed watching everyone's reason's for YouTubing and the answers to your questions. Take care
Thanks for joining in Bethan. Take care. Mags
Thank You for inviting me to take part in this video Mags, its such a great watch and so interesting to hear the different answers from everyone 😊
I’m so glad you were able to participate. Take care. Mags
What a lovely collab! I filled up when linda mentioned me. Wasn't expecting that ❤ Friend for life. Then to hear Ali mention me too. Truly honoured. I'm glad you all started your channels ❤ Lovely answers off all the wonderful youtubers in this collab 😊
So lovely 🥰 x
LOL I mentioned your prodding me on to do more than insta in my segment too...but it that hit the editing floor to keep within the time frame.🕰 You've really influenced a lot of folks on YT including me.🥰😘
You are such a great support to many TH-camrs Danny. Mentions are well deserved. Take care. Mags
Loved the video Mags. Love what your doing in your garden. I didnt realise your garden was so big. I grew most of my veg in my daughter large garden but (sadly for me) she is moving house and there will be no space in her new house for growing veg 😢. I have a small patio area with a small 6x2 raised bed and a tiny 6x3 greenhouse in my own house. But I'm still looking forward to growing what I can next year. I'll just have to put all the quad grows in storage for now. My dream is to have a garden like yours and keep chickens. Maybe one day 🤞🙂
Hi Mags. Sorry you are losing some growing space but you’ll be able to grow plenty in the area you have at home. Wish I had a greenhouse. I do feel very lucky with the space I have and being able to keep my feathery friends. If you ever get the chance to keep chickens, I recommend you do. They are such characters.
Oh! I most certainly will of I ever get the chance. Thanks Mags🙂
I did enjoy indeed. Nice people there too. Cheers Mags and the other ladies.
Hi Kerry. So glad you enjoyed it. All the best. Mags
Mags TY so much for inviting me to take part in this interesting collaboration. It was so fun to hear the varied answers from each participant. Hope you have a very Happy Holiday season and I hope Santa brings a few garden goodies for you. 🎄🎅🥰🥂
Brilliant Mags & Co! I know what you mean, my Amazon delivery guy thanked me for a video recipe, out of the blue! LOL Looking forward to your vids in 2025 🙂
Very nice video Mags thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers. 😊
Fab sprouts Mags and the parsnips look great. Your hellebores are thriving. Lovely update. Take care 😊
Thanks Bethan. I was happy with my little harvest. Hope your weather hasn't caused any problems.
Rather jealy of those gorgeous spouts. Can't get them big to save my live. 🥰🥰🥰
Fab update Mags ❤ Lovely straight parsnips and a nice crop of sprouts too. Nice to catch up on a few jobs that's my plan for this week too. Happy chickens awww 😍 Have a great week ❤ cc
Thanks Linda. Hope you are ok with this horrible weather.
@mygardenanddinosaurs Yes thanks Mags and you? xx
