- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2024
- Welcome back to my cottage garden here in Ireland! In today's video, I replant the cut flower raised bed, trimming back the old spring foliage and planting vibrant summer cut flowers. Join me on this gardening journey as I visit the Ratoath Garden Centre and share an exciting plant haul perfect for a charming cottage garden. Plus, I spend some time with my bees, giving them a stylish new gabled roof and a fresh landing strip!
Have you picked up anything new for your garden, or have any favourite flowers you sowed from seed?
For more cottage garden videos, here is a playlist: • Creating a Show Garden...
My garden is located on the east coast of Ireland, and my planting zone is 8/9, and a similar climate to cottage gardens n the UK.

Catherine I’m a garden center manager and we have bee hives in hollow pillers , the honey is never harvested and when they swarm we call the bee hot line so they get rehomed, I adore them and we often have little hitchhikers on us x
Aw I love that!
Prayers for comfort and health for your mom .
Your garden is so sweet ❤
Thank you for your kind words x
Please know that I carry you and your Mam in my heart - praying for her recovery! So good to see you in your garden again, you are a real inspiration!❤
Thank you so much for your kindness and words ❤️
Hiya 🌞, don't forget to keep the bees informed of all your enterprises and family members doings! They will see you safe and right in everything if you do, because they'll consider you all part of their hiving community!😊❤Best wishes,J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 😀 🪃 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
I LOVE that you built a lil deck for your bees!
You have been my inspiration for a cottage garden on my allotment in the Netherlands !
I also grow fruits and veggies in raised beds .
Spring was extremely wet , and some plants didn't make it .
Today , I had a wonderful day filled with flowers and sunshine !
Hope you all did too .
Aww I’m so glad to hear that, it means a lot to me ❤️ it’s a shame you had such a wet spring but hopefully the plants that did make it through continue to thrive for you 😍
I love a display of annuals, that can change and try new things every year. The warmer temperatures and sunnier days are doing their thing and everything is booming at the moment 😊
I'm in New Brunswick, Canada, and I am just in love with my garden. We had a few surprises in our garden this year. A chipmunk has planted dozens of sunflowers seeds around in 6 different pots I have around the garden. I noticed them coming up and they are about 3 inches tall. Then I saw them in another spot and another. He was getting the seeds from the neighbor and burying them in my yard. Little stinker! So, I may have a few dozen sunflowers popping up anytime.
Oh wow that’s wild!! You have a little helper 🥹😍😂 sounds like he’s been working hard 😂 those sunflowers will be gorgeous soon!! 🌻
@@DaintyDiaries my husband teased me for feeding him this past winter. I figured he was paying it forward.
You have the right word: potager. It's pronounced "potajey". Prayers for you mum and for you, courageous lady!
Always amazed every spring to see how your garden has grown. So beautiful.
So nice of you x
Catherine, I am so sorry to hear that your mom is unwell. I know how emotionally draining that can be! Prayers for quick healing for her and for you. You are such a sweet person I hope things are more normal for you soon…❤️
Your garden is so beautiful, Catherine ❤. Sending lots of love to your Mum and to you, too xox
Sending my prayers for your Mum Catherine 🙏🏻 Wishing you and your family strength for the times you are going through. I’ve been struggling today trying to tidy up (lots of pain with arthritis and need to take rests) it’s hot in Coventry today 25 degs I love to watch you potter round the garden, it’s a calming, satisfying experience. 🌺🪴🌸 💗
May your dear mother get her strength back and start to feel better my prayers are with her❤❤🙏🙏🙏🐦
Catherine, I am sending the ' Living, Healing, LOVE of Jesus Christ' to surround your Mom, you and your family. 💖🕊
You are such a Happy, fun, strong person that I think some special children, family and friends will be leaning on your SUNSHINE. Stand strong, and share your Loving Light and HE will give you HIS STRENGTH and LOVE. 🙋♀️🙏💖
My videos are getting buried by you tube as well, I’m clicking like on all the creators I follow , I love your gentle vlogs and I admire your get up and go, I’m an older lady but I find you so inspiring x

Hope your mum goes on ok love, its a worrying time but fingers crossed she's gets through it. I've got my husband ill so know how worrying it is, one day at a time love xx
Hello Community! Best wishes to your mom, from the TH-cam people, and Catherine, you're awesome!
Your so kind, thank you x
I treated myself to a mock orange bush and earlier in April my husband bought me a pretty Magnolia tree. I’ve got veggies in the garden beds mixed with herbs. I have flowers and herbs on the front porch and flowering shrubs around the front porch. I’ve only focused on growing things outside for the past couple of years. The inside of the house is a JUNGLE of houseplants.
I love how you learn about your plants. I just buy what looks pretty and throw it in the ground.
Oh I have to look up a mock orange bush and see what the is like, x Your garden sounds fab
Just want to send healing love to your mum💕
Sending love to you, your mom, and your family.
Oh Catherine you are a true inspiration
Doing the garden always heals my soul, I hope it's helping you too ❤️ My seed germination has been awful this year. Bloomin' weather!!
Prayers for your Mom!
Hi Catherine! Oh yes I bought a cute metal fairy sign for my garden! Keep inspiring us!❤GBU
Sounds so cute 😍 a great pick up!
Thanks! God less you and your mom.🌺❤️😇
Sending healing energy,love and prayers to you mum, and family.❤
Thank you Catherine, sending you, Mum and the rest of your family big hugs xx my kittens say hi to your kittens xx
Thank you for your kind words x
I love the upgrades to the bee house! The bees seem happy too, beauty is important. I went to the garden center yesterday and only bought one red zinnia, but I have my eye on some black calla lilies. Can't promise those won't come home with me in the future! Thanks for the updates on your front garden and wishing your mom the best.
Catherine my husband has a classmate from school who owns a wholesale plant farm locally. That man posted on Facebook beautiful ferns for sale which were “leftovers” at a great price around Mother’s Day. So we went out to buy some.
WELL! He was closing for a month and said go get what you want, I’ll make you a great deal! WOW! For $60 I STUFFED my car! They’re mostly annuals, but my garden is gorgeous! I particularly love ferns and have a very shady lakeside home. I bought several foxtail ferns for $2. The garden center had them for $27, in a smaller size. Mmmm it’s so beautiful and I was abundantly blessed! Hope he lets me shop again next year!
Continued prayers for your mother and your family. Be sure to take good care of yourself. ❤️
Oh WOW, you got bargains! I love it
Sending positive thoughts for your mam, love your new raised beds, take care of yourself, it's very stressful dealing with a sick mam, ❤
First i want to say take care of yourself...sending you love and to your mam.
Second, I didn't really notice bees until you started caring for them. Now whenever I see them I think of you. They make me smile.
Aww that’s so cute 😍🐝 thanks so much!!
Love watching your garden and gardening. Such beautiful plants and your Bees are so peaceful to watch. 🐝❤
So nice of you, thank you for watching x
Your gardens are looking great! 🙏🙏🙏🌺🌸 for your Mom
Very relaxing garden day
💕 for Mum ❤
Catherine, all your bee info brings back good memories. My father had bees when I was young so the bee things have been a great reminder of my youth and the honey he’d have from robbing the hives. Hope your mom is doing good. I pray for you and your family every day. God bless
What a lovely memory to have with your dad x
After visiting Canada many years ago I fell in love with lupines. I brought home a packet of seeds and planted them but they never grew. I never tried again. But, I recently saw a pot of pink and white lupines that were blooming and snatched it up. Why hadn’t I thought of that before?
🌸You have the prettiest space and I appreciate you sharing it all. What beautiful flowers. I’m praying for your dear mother’s good health and comfort in healing. From Michigan today🌼💛🌼💛🌼
Your so kind, thank you x
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and will keep your family in our prayers. Yes, it is very difficult to go to garden center and come out with 1 or 2 plants.
I just bought more phlox and cone flowers and coleus. Enjoy the beauty that our Creator has loaned to us.
Look forward to the pot clean up video. It truly therapeutic to watch you do gardening. We pray for your mother❤
My pots really need a clean up! X
@@DaintyDiaries if you say so. To me your garden looks very happy
Your video was just what I needed. I received tragic and sad news just a couple of hours ago,your sweet personality and the absolutely beautiful garden views and the little bees soothed my sole. Thanks so much to you and good thought towards your mom. ❤
I am so so sorry to hear that your received awful news, sending you lots of love and strength x
@@DaintyDiaries Thank you for your kind words.
Catherine I’m so sorry to hear that Your mama is not well. I will be praying for her.🙏✝️
🙏🏻for mum ❤
Hi Catherine your garden is beautiful thanks for showing us you pretty cat love all the different colors of your flowers can't wait to see your next video have a fun safe blessed week I'll pray for your mom to get well real soon ❤❤❤
Have a great week too, thank you for your kind words. x
I hope your Mum is doing ok Catherine ❤️❤️❤️ your garden is looking lovely xx
My mum bought me an Easter Island head for my birthday on Sunday. I love it!
Love your garden centers. Quiet with lovely displays. Beautiful plant selections for your pots and barrels. They will be so pretty. Bee hive is so pretty. Love your gable roof.
I bought a big Japanese Maple, Bloodgood, at Costco. Went for eggs and avocados. ha ha
At my garden center I purchased vegetables. Tomatoes, bell peppers and onion sets. Doing well. Picking tomatoes daily. Yummy.
Praying for your Mom and family. Thank you for the update. Hope you have a good week.
So sorry your mom is ill hope she feels better soon❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so impressed by your garden, greenhouse, beds, etc.! Garden Centers are my favorite place to go and dream. This year I found a lot of hostas being sold by a local gardener for cheap! And three dicentra and a Jacob’s ladder half off because the building center staff failed in their watering, and used them to line the fence on the side of the house beside the path to the back yard…previously a pile of weeds. Makes me so happy as I go back and forth to the back yard
Oh amazing 😍 you got some bargains there!! Great finds 😍
Gorgeous the best Bee home ever seen. Thank you for giving them the best House!! So pretty!
Hi Catherine, I have bought even more hardy geraniums for my front and back gardens. I loved watching this. Thank you for another beautiful video. ❤ Gentle hugs for you and your Mum.
Hardy geraniums are the hardest working plant in the Summer garden lol, I love them x
Praying for your mom dear Catherine. Indeed, gardening is good therapy - so is watching your videos. P.S. You have the most beautiful hair!
That is so kind of you x
I am paying for your Mom..hoping she is doing well!! Love your videos!!
Prayers for your mother 🙏 from Memphis Tennessee 💜
Thank you for your kind words! X
Catherine, you “Daintified” your Beehive and it looks great. Lovely Sunday vlog ❤
😊 thank you
Lovely video, as usual. Please tell your mum that a lot of people she's never met have her in their thoughts.
Mixing flowers and vegetables are great for pollinators. You have a beautiful garden
Thanks for the video, healing prayers for your mam.🏴
Everything is looking wonderful! I’m impressed at you naming those plants like a pro! All garden centers are my den of iniquity.🤦🏻♀️ I try to stick to my list, but then I see a new variety of plant or seeds and then I blow it! I was introduced to Baptisias through a dear friend and each my husband gifts me with a new color. This year it was Pink Lemonade! Can’t wait until next spring!!! I love a vegetable garden but I always add flowers throughout to draw in the bees and butterflies. Plus my song birds eat the nasty little intruders to feed those hungry babies! Love your channel sweet plant lady and still praying for your Mom.💕🥰
Aww your pink lemonade baptisias sound beautiful 😍🌸 what a sweet tradition that he gets you a new colour that’s so cute 🥹
I built a walking bridge to one of my flowerbeds. The bed is 8' wide and about 40' long. I call it my river of flowers. Filled it with dwarf suflowers . Take care.
That must look amazing!
A walking bridge, that sounds so romantic!
It's purpose was practical in nature allowing me to cross the flowerbed without having to go all the way around or without crushing any flowers. It does add a touch of whimsy or romance as well.
My husband and I have been spreading bark mulch in our garden beds this week. My hope is to buy some more flowering perennials this week to fill in some gaps, this too along with weeding the front garden space. So far it's looking fresh and ready for summer. Hot temperatures this past week, so getting an early start for cooler conditions works for us.
Prayers for your Mom
Thank you xx
Catherine ...
I just want to tell you what a positive inspiration you are to me and all of your subscribers 🎉 As a single mum whose job description includes doing everything, you to me are a lady who I admire and respect very much! I always learn soo much from you! Thank you for being empowering to us all. In a personal note- my kids and I parted for your mum and your entire family 🙏🏼 our hope is that she receives healing or better news 🙏🏼 And if I ever make it back to Ireland ~ I would love to meet up with you at a Gardening Center~ btw; brilliant idea from you to go visit every Gardening Center on your island!! I shall do the same where I live too and think about you along my journeys 💖🌹💐🌼🌻 And fyi; I am that person in my family who has a chronic illness that won't get better bc there is no cure ✨ Summer Blessings to you and everyone ☀️🐝🌹🌼💐🐝
Wow that’s so kind of you to say ❤️ that means so much to me! You’re the inspiration with everything that you do ok your own ❤️👏 thanks so much for the sweet words and for stopping by xx
My partner and I just put a pond in this week!! Very exciting. We have some water lilies, some reeds, and some pitcher plants (native to my area). Our favorite garden center also gave us a couple of free tree frog tadpoles with our water plant purchase.
All of the rain you have had sure has done your garden well. It's all looking great
The rain has been great for all the new plants I planted x
I also love going to the garden centre as soon as it opens so I can walk up and down the aisles in peace. I search out plants I’m not familiar with and try to learn the names and growth habits.
Aw me too! Fresh coffee in hand and a stroll in the. garden centre, the smell of plants and smell of the water too
A garden center with caffeine…ooohh how perfect!! Love the garden videos. 😊❤️🙏
haha, heaven x
Still praying for your mom. I wish I could keep more of the gentle flowers but we are so hot in Texas that it's hard on them.
Everything is looking so beautiful 😍
I go to get mulch and come home with a car load of flowers, too! I have a potager garden... Have more flowers than veggies this year. We have so much in jars/freezer that we didn't need much. I grow the red okra and have a steawberry bed, also have a dedicated asparagus bed! Have added so many perennials this year!
Another amazing vlog! So cozy and relaxing. Thank you for this! You're an angel ❤
Thanks for stopping by ❤️❤️
I was weeding the garden yesterday to put my little gnomes in,you have a lovely garden,best wishes to you and your mum
So cute 😍 thanks so much!! ❤️
God bless ❤
The garden is so happy. Love the beautiful blooms. I live vicariously thru you; I live in Arizona, and growing here is rather unusual. I do not care for cacti, they bite. I do have a couple of succulent pots, and aloe vera plants. I will be bringing in the succulents to my laundry room, the temperatures are over 100 degrees fahrenheit daily, and will likely continue into Sept.
It will toast the plants... After the heat stops, I can return them outdoors into the screen porch. So, house plants are a choice; however, I do travel a bit, so I am not available to water as well. I so enjoy the beauty of Ireland, the lush wonderful green, and the amazing trips you share with us. Thank you, and prayers for your Mom and family during this time.
Oh wow Arizona, I am sure its really pretty there but I can imagine the heat takes its toll, were the opposite here, the grey and rain takes its toll x
Yes, fruit, veggies and herbs are all integrated within my flower beds. 🏠❤🌸🪴🦚🌷🌳❤
Catherine i love your hair color❤❤❤
Here in the southern part of the U.S. we haven’t had rain in over 3 weeks & the temps have been in the upper 90’s so I would be crazy to buy a new plant & plant it in this heat wave. We are constantly watering. ❤
Wow I hope you’re doing okay in that heat!! Take care of yourself and the garden will always be there once the weather settles ❤️
Lovely video Catherine. We have bought loads of perennials lately. The one I love most is Veronica. It’s so pretty. We have a pink and lavender one. Long flowering and a very neat tidy plant
This year I've intetplanted vegetables and flowers. Tomatoes, jalapeños, sweet potatoes are in the same bed as zinnias, cosmos and marigolds. I also have other pots of veggies and flowers scattered around.
Since all my outdoor plants are off to the races and doing their thing, I've been treating myself to more indoor plants. I spent quite a bit of time at the garden center recently googling each plant to see which ones were safe for cats and dogs. I got a Hoya and a Peperomia!
I’ll be traveling to Ireland next June, and I too would love to know about all of the gardens and garden centers!! 💚💐 Much love & light to you, your mom, and family! ❤️
Hope you have a fantastic trip!!
Went to the garden centre this weekend! Gave myself so much work to do cos I had to weed my veg patch before I could plant what I'd bought 😂. Now to make sure Peter rabbit and his cousins don't eat em all 😉.
haha, I relate to that!
we have a veggie garden in raised beds and I am usually a container type gardener! Except for when we pick up perennials, those I actually put in the ground! your garden is so awesome! hope that you mom is doing better. thanks for sharing! xoxo
Hello from Brooklyn USA!
I grow veg in my allotment - there's actually only one person in our allotment group that grows cut flowers, and she does that because she knows she is often busy and doesn't want to have to worry about any veg rotting before she's had a chance to harvest. And I had to smile at what you said about tomatoes - nearly EVERYONE in New York City grows tomatoes, either in an allotment or their own gardens. I'm only doing the tiny cherry tomatoes this year, along with peas, bok choy, one lone pepper plant, a petite variety of carrot and some cucumbers. I also started an herb patch for everyone in the allotment to share (our nasturtium finally had its first lower today!).
Aww love this, congrats on the first flower!
Thanks so much for sharing 😊hope your mom is feeling better 😊
Sending you and your family best wishes 🥰
Hi Catherine , lovely nice chat with you. I love plants and if I go to any where that have plants I always seen to buy something. It is always things I like doesn't matter if not suitable for my soil I find somewhere to plant them .I had a beautiful garden last year but I think the weather this year has stopped things from growing as they should. Anyway love to see what your front garden looks likes when you have planted everything. Take care, sending best wishes to you ,your mum and family xxxx
It’s too easy to be tempted by the plant spending I feel your struggle 😆😆 sounds like you have a gorgeous garden though!! ❤️
I grow bed flowers in areas I can see from my home. I don't do veggies anymore, but I do have one bell pepper plant to keep my hubby happy.
I’m sure he loves that!!
I grow it all. Veg, annual flowers, perennials, fruits, vines, and a lot of herbs! I’ve only just gotten my mojo back this year and I’m excited about gardening again! I’m thinking of your mom and sending good vibes.
I LOVE when the mojo comes back! X I feel like I am slower in the garden this year x
Your garden is looking lovely. Well done for taking a step back from things while you need more time. It’s so important to look after yourself as well in times like this. I have grown angel wings from seed for the first time this year and they’re absolutely beautiful. The slugs got a lot of them but those that made it are my new favourites. I’ve also planted some nemisia which are super pretty. I’ll definitely be buying more next year, I’ll have to see whether they’re something I can grow from seed.
Awesomeness ❤❤❤❤😊
Lovely as always!
I treated myself to a David Austen Rose. Emily Bronte. I bought a bare root back in April. I think? Anyway,it is actually getting buds! I didn't expect any this year.
Just keep going it's all we can do. Family is all we have at the end of the day. Everything else is just what it is.
Catherine I Bought Some Ferns and Begonias. And Bought Some Astrantia. Enjoy The Sunshine. Xx 🌞😘
Praying for good health for you mom. I know personally the sacrifice you make when you take care of a loved one. This past week I was in the garden center and I purchased shade perennials- heuchera, hosta. I was inspired by your woodland corner and I am trying to create something similar in my back garden. Hoping it looks as nice as yours some day. ❤
Aw I love that you have a shady corner to fill, I need to tackle my corner at the front of my house, the tree has grown so big and its mostly in shade now, so need to make it look nice x
Hello amazing young lady 😊 love your videos. Another way I plant seeds is toilet paper roll or paper towel roll. Cut those to size. Make little snips around the bottom and then fold in. Can a little glue. Everything can go right into the ground when ready.
