Can you name any of the plants and give me tips! The more the merrier 🥰🤣 Hope you're all doing well today, oh, and happy first of October! Aka autumn! (or spring for those on the other side of the world) excited to break out the candles, fluffy socks, blankets and all of the cosy things.💛 Kay x
Just starting out in the garden here also. I may share on here also ! I have clay thick soil so I am planting in a raised bed, the garden is very small but we are on the back of fields so I am so grateful for the space. I home educate my two girls who like to get out and help me also, so I am looking forward to sharing this also, I’ve been a bit slow on this platform but I love to find other gardening channels they get me through at this moment! I Love the colour choice of the paint 💜
The first year of a new garden, apart from tidying up, is best to just observe. The plants and garden will change each season and you can see what's there and what may pop up and surprise you.
@@Livingthelifeyoulove when I say tidy up I mean cut back when things are getting a bit too overgrown and wild! although as it's autumn things will slow down and pretty much stop in the winter, so yes breath a sigh until next spring.
Estelle , I agree. Every time I move , I let the house and garden show me what it can do .... Let it speak to me..... Before I start touching or moving anything. Tends to take a year , just relaxing and observing everything . 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Your garden is so twee and cute . It looks lovely as it is. What ever you do, dont add mirrors .... ....mirrors upset the birds , they see reflections as enemy .. ,...and this stresses them out. Hope you are loving your garden 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Love that garden room - can use that all year round even when it’s wet - and great to store stuff like garden furniture cushions in to stop it getting wet xx
I love the paint colors you chose to freshen up the garden shed! You could use some of the cardboard in your garden to block weeds and even create a back to eden garden- cardboard, soil on top, and cover with mulch.
I wish we had 200 year old 2 up 2 down houses in the USA, I so want one. Your garden is lovely and I hope you guys enjoy learning to be gardeners, don't forget to do any winter garden prep so that all your plants are good to winter over. My best recommendation for learning to garden is have a friend who loves to garden come over and give you tips. They'll be able to look closely at your garden, the light, weather etc. and make better recommendations. Also get some bug hotels... they're cute and will encourage pollinators to live in your garden. In a side note "outhouse" is what we American's call outdoor/camping toilets and porta-loos so when you called your little summer house area that you made me giggle.
Such a great idea, a lot of older family members are green thumbs so will get their opinions and guidance 🥰 Hahaha that's funny about the outhouse, I feel every time I speak about it I say three different words to describe it with a question mark at the end 🤣 maybe it should just be a shed?! 🤣
The little stone walls that line the path might come up beautifully if you use a pressure washer on them? Gardens evolve constantly. I’m envious of your upcoming garden adventure. You can have so much fun with it. The little shed looks great and the mirror is perfect. Your local library should have some good books for both plant identification and inspiration. ( yes I know there are apps, but curling up with a cup of tea and a lovely book wins over a tiny phone screen for me.)
That's a good point and something we will look into 🥰 part of the wall closest to the house is s as hold as the house and dates back to the 1840's! I love your idea about gardening books and will definitely be curling up with some during the winter ready for a summer of gardening! x
I have already suggested this but I do feel it would be amazing to turn that brick shed into a workshop. It would be a beautiful place to work on your crystals and to charge them in the sun 🥰
Yessss that's the long term goal for it 😀 If we didn't get this house we were going to invest in a summer house to use as a workshop but seen as this one is already existing we will just renovate it x
You have a really nice garden, its a lot bigger than I expected as well :) :) Tbe paint and the mirror really do brighten up the little sun room and make it seem bigger :) :)
The painted walls etc look so good! It’s a lovely garden and you will learn so much over time. There are so many great gardening channels here on YT, too. I look forward to see what you’re doing with it next year!
I think the daisy like orange flowers are calendulas, the spiky looking leaves look like irises possibly, but a few plants have leaves like that so maybe not. The plastic roof is known as polycarbonate. And I looooove that garden mirror 🥰 Also your flock of birds, I get hardly any that come to my feeders.
Oooh are they? I know people use them in body butters and oils, exciting 😍 Thanks for your kind words! The amount of birds has dwindled in the last few weeks due to winter coming but they really enjoy the fat balls/peanuts and coconut feeders 😀
Hi you have a beautiful house and garden. Your so lucky your garden is so big. I would love to garden, I have a balcony. I would love to grow vegetables. Take care
I LOVE your garden building, The Toilet. I would pay (minimal) rent on that space, as is. 💗 Of course I would provide labor and cash. My fantasy. I’m 72. So a fantasy it shall remain. I always enjoy your posts!
Love your garden! I’m not a gardener but one thing I would say is get rid of the ivy-it grows so quickly and is a nightmare when it gets out of control.
Hello beautiful! What a wonderful garden. I love your “sun house”, that mirror has made a fantastic difference to it. You could put some old English roses over your arch. Lovely to see the excitement in you, you’re glowing my lovely. Stsy safe and stay well both of you. Sending love xx(have you got a P.O. Box address) xx
Thanks Mo! Ohhh yes, english roses would be brilliant over the arch, we have some close to the house and they were beautiful when they were flowering. Take care my lovely xx

I love the mirror! It's such a perfect "window to Narnia" like you put it and it's just so visually pleasing in that space
Thank you Mara! Super happy I went with it 😄
Garden tour and I'm made to watch you paint!
Mirror is perfect. Looks beautiful

It's wonderful view of cottage garden, travel as nature!
Thanks lot for sharing 🌹
Stay safe my dear friend 🌷
Have a nice day 💐👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for this! I felt myself breath a sigh of relief reading your words 😂 you know when you feel you've bitten off more than you can chew? haha x

Ahhh thank you lovely! Me too 🥰💛
Your garden is so twee and cute .
It looks lovely as it is.
What ever you do, dont add mirrors ....
....mirrors upset the birds , they see reflections as enemy ..
,...and this stresses them out.
Hope you are loving your garden
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love it! It looks like you have a lot of good sunlight and so many beautiful perennials. What a magical place 🌈
Thanks Wendy! Excited to see what pops up 🥰
Love that garden room - can use that all year round even when it’s wet - and great to store stuff like garden furniture cushions in to stop it getting wet xx
Thanks lovely lady! It's a great little space, I wasn't sure we would use it when we looked around but I couldn't be without it now xx
I love the paint colors you chose to freshen up the garden shed!
You could use some of the cardboard in your garden to block weeds and even create a back to eden garden- cardboard, soil on top, and cover with mulch.
Thank you lovely, that's a great idea and good idea to reuse it 😀

That is the cutest garden ever! It's definitely giving me some inspiration with my own backyard...Thank you you so much for posting!
Hi Kay we love your little garden so far what you've done looks really nice. love the mirror. Hugs❤
Thanks lovely! Sometimes it's the little changes that make a big difference 😊 take care lovely x

Thanks lovely! I feel like it did too, I didn't realise really until I watched the video back but it's so much brighter in there now 😊💛

Thank you! It made such a difference didn't it! 😀 Stay tuned, I have big ideas for that space! 🥰

OMG this was soooo adorable. Loved and enjoyed every minute of this video. I am in love with your garden. Love from the Netherlands and stay safe
What a beautiful comment! So happy to heart that 💛🥰 thank you so much lovely, take care xx
I LOVE your garden building, The Toilet. I would pay (minimal) rent on that space, as is. 💗 Of course I would provide labor and cash. My fantasy. I’m 72. So a fantasy it shall remain. I always enjoy your posts!
Thanks lovely! Great little space isn't it - a good hiding spot for all the cardboard too 🤣
💗
Wow your garden so beautiful ... warm regards from me from AUSTRALIA
Thank you! 🥰
Love your garden!
I’m not a gardener but one thing I would say is get rid of the ivy-it grows so quickly and is a nightmare when it gets out of control.
I love the little fun fact about the toilet to shed story :D your garden looks great, I actually like its wildness :D
Cute isn't it! I love that about older houses, so quirky! 🥰 Also thank you, I think it rocks the wild look well... it's a good jobb 😂
Such a beautiful garden! 🥰
There are apps you can download like PictureThis and Plant Snap that help you identify plants.
Oooh this is good to know, thank you! 🥰
I have clematis on my Arch, it will look lovely in your garden
Will you ask your neighbour what that plant is near your out house with the red foliage it looks stunning xx ps happy new garden 🪴 xx
You could make a fairy village!
I know right! Exciting 🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️
Instead of taking the cardboard to the tip, break sections off, roll it tightly and use it as kindling for the fire 😊
Hello beautiful! What a wonderful garden. I love your “sun house”, that mirror has made a fantastic difference to it. You could put some old English roses over your arch. Lovely to see the excitement in you, you’re glowing my lovely. Stsy safe and stay well both of you. Sending love xx(have you got a P.O. Box address) xx
Thanks Mo! Ohhh yes, english roses would be brilliant over the arch, we have some close to the house and they were beautiful when they were flowering. Take care my lovely xx
I would have turned that bricknshed outside area into a catio for Echo ...
What a gorgeous home Kay! Did you buy it or are you renting?
Thank you lovely! We bought it, it's out first home 🥰💛
@@Livingthelifeyoulove Holy moly! Did I miss something? How did you afford that?
the gravel path is ok
The name of the song?
The only problem with putting in grass is that then you have to cut it haha
Hahaha this is very true, that's why the last people put the stones down 🤣
Both human beings and plants need sunshine.So go out there and get your dose of Vitamin D from the sun people !
Looks like a semi not a cottage
