Going around your garden with you was really nice. I love that relationship you have with your splendid plants, I can totally relate. Thanks for sharing your garden. Cheers!
Perlite makes a big difference. Holds water and losens up the soil, making roots grow way more easily. The faster the roots grow, the faster your plant grows.
You can train brambles along wires to help tidy them , and keep them manageable, then they produce a lot more verticle spur's witch in turn gives far more friut.
I just found your channel. I absolutely love that you incorporate so many flowers with the herbs, fruits and veggies being a bee keeper. :D Unfortunately living in Tennessee, USA I can't let the gardens get to a point that I can't see the ground well. I don't want to encounter a rattlesnake or any of the other native venomous snakes! Clean and trim keeps them pretty much at bay. I saw some Ginko trees at my sons doctors office. I fell in love with the looks but the "nuts" smell like dog poo! I had took some of these and had them in a opened baggie in the car door pocket. I forgot about them! My son got in the car one day and he's hunting to see if he stepped in some somewhere. lololol. I also looked online and it says toxic to animals. :( We have horses, a bull and a sheep and goat. We mow our lawn and feed them the clippings so it made me afraid to buy a tree. :( The internet seems to over blow toxicity but I want to make sure 1 tree isn't going to be a huge problem. Does anyone know anything about it?
If you have no where to keep your hose pipe try a car tyre, and place the the hose inside, or the centre of the car wheel fasten to a wall and wrap the hose around it..
Okay 'a proper garden in a home' ! WOW how exciting does that sound 😆 A wonderful goal 💞Yes I find nice containers way out of my small garden budget so make do with what I have and used grow bags last year which don't last forever, do not look pretty, but were pretty good 🌷🌷
Your garden is beautiful katriona your smile is very cute too. You could present gardeners world in the next few years. Is there gardening courses that could be gone online thanks.
Wow your Acers are stunning! Such cute little trees. The bay is a lovely shape now. I have a Bay in a large pot just outside my kitchen window so I open the window and cut off a few leavers. So handy on a wet evening 😄
I use the old zinc tubs that masons used to use. I got hold of some before they got popular ( and expensive) I have got a couple of the big black plastic ones that got holes during the renovating of my home. they are all big enough that you can have bigger plants in them and dont need daily watering. and they can be humped around by two people. the few pretty terracotta ones will fit on my sitting area in the kitchen garden. I have seen some stones pots in reclaimation yards. they make me drool but a pair cost about the same as my house.
At my last place I lived in I made a mistake in planting Rosemary in the ground!! LOL!! In my new place I've learnt my lesson and planted Rosemary in a pot!! LOL!! P.S...have you thought about making smudge sticks with all the excess Rosemary and Lavendar?? That's what I do with my leftovers!!
Hi Katerina, your garden is looking amazing! We are doing great this year and have been getting lot's of rain and our garden is doing great. Mike built grow tables for our pots in the vegetable garden and it works great. Our lettuce grow table is 4 ft tall and we can stand to harvest. How big is your allotment? We took a vacation last year in September to the Cotswold's and loved it. We are going again this year as well. Blessings to you. Rochelle
Always love to see a new video from you when I get home from work. I have big Dahlia blooms thanks to your channel. Have you tried fabric pots? I really like them because Fire ants do not get in them and I can control the watering better.
Im growing blueberries in large pots. Just tested the soil using a soil meter and its reading very alkaline. Any advice on how to get the soil back to acidic. They were planted in eracatious compost
I still find it amazing that one person in the U.K. can have such a large allotment garden space. I've read over the years that a waiting list for a space can be decades long. A New York newspaper article about it that I read quoted a older fellow saying "he thought he had won the lottery getting a plot." In my case in Canada, ours has 15 raised beds 10ft x 4ft..one per person and 10 commom beds with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries etc. for all to share. Your space could shared by at least 4 people.
This is the traditional allotment plot size that is intended for a family to feed from. Waiting times may be that long in London but elsewhere you should get one within a few years. I was lucky, gardening interest was relatively low when I got mine within 6 months. We’re also lucky that on my site of 600+ plots more of them are available each year in comparison to a normal sized allotment site.
You're going to host gardeners world someday. I don't own ANY nice pots. Just grow bags and recylced cheap pots. I have joint problems and theyre so much easier to deal with... plus if they crack i dont even care
Plant marrygold plants around the outside of the beds is a good deterrent have a blessed day.
Hi Katrina! This time a nice Homegrown garden vlog. Very interesting and every time I am enjoyed your garden vlogs!Thanks!😀🌿☘🌳🌺🌹🪰🐜🐝👍
I will not get tired of repeating that I watch these videos only because of the beauty of this woman!!!))
Proud... Proud... 😂👍❤️
Creepy wibes man. Do better.
16:30 - I agree, I mostly think companion planting is a bunch hooey, there are just waaay too many variables in growing that we're not aware of.
What I enjoy about your videos are the plain speaking while still working and throwing a few garden tips in along the way. 😊😊
Thank you 😊
Hi Katerina. It is sad to hear the passing of Steve from Green Side up today. May he RIP. Great to see your videos. Take Care Emmet.
Oh my gosh, really? I saw his video about an upcoming operation not long ago. That’s so sad 😞 RIP Steve 💚
I didn't know xx so, so sad x he taught me so much online x 😢😭
The smell from the bay and rosemary inside your car must have been heavenly - a real gardener's "high".
I like the format of this video. Multiple plot visits. ty
Nice efforts. Being close to nature is a good one.
Going around your garden with you was really nice. I love that relationship you have with your splendid plants, I can totally relate. Thanks for sharing your garden. Cheers!

It’s looking good even better in the summer
Everything looks like it’s off to the races. Sadly mine have had such a hit with slugs and weeds! I’m so over weeds
lovely video katrina

The acers are so beautiful, I think I need those in my life 😊
I see you're well over 100K subscribers already.
Very entertaining video.

in a closed system all things tend tuward entripy
Love acers, have nearly 20 in my garden, some over 20 feet tall.

Black Seeded Simpson is probably the name you were trying to think of for your lettuce. It's one of my favs
Your garden is beautiful katriona your smile is very cute too. You could present gardeners world in the next few years. Is there gardening courses that could be gone online thanks.
love
Lovely, glad the citrus survived that cold winter 😊
Check your lemon tree for spider mites. The leaf in that close up shot looked like it might have them. My lemon tree gets mites occasionally.
Yes it had it last year. I forgot to add to the voiceover that Iater stripped all the old leaves off 👍🏻
Been so busy here I missed a few videos.....your worrying about hiding your "rubbish "😮....well you always have extras and some old stuff....😊

Could you please make a video when your potting up your lemon tree, is it suppose to have torns on the branches thanks.
I do it in this video. Yes they do have thorns.
👌👌🏻😋

Can you plant hollyhocks?
No one uses soil heater's no more to kill off unwanted bug's and weed seeds..
@05:25 Are you aware that you actually have 3 fine bonsai on that table in front of you?
What trousers do you wear on 14th May? I am trying to find some gardening outfits :D
Those are actually walking trousers that I bought from Decathlon. 😊
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
Im growing blueberries in large pots. Just tested the soil using a soil meter and its reading very alkaline. Any advice on how to get the soil back to acidic. They were planted in eracatious compost
Pine needles top dress also feed it what it needs
@@johnnyd3387 thank you
I would repot them in fresh ericaceous compost.
@@homegrowngarden ok will do. Thanks for the advice 🙂👍
