- In this week's cottage garden vlog, I harvested the first bag of my potatoes and I added some warmer-toned flowers to add some late Summer colour to the garden border.

Aww you cracked me up well I hope that sunflower is not coming out of any orifice 🤣
All I have to say is will you be my friend 😂you are just a ray of pure sunshine. I feel like you would be the sort of person that just continually brings people up and brings nothing but positivity. Everyone needs a Catherine in there life. X
Ohhh the spuds and your beautiful cottage garden!!! Such a dream!! 🥰🥔🥔🥔🌸🌻🌻🌻🌼🌺
There’s nothing like fresh homegrown potatoes 🥔 ! They’re the best and I just planted another round I’m my grow bags! Your garden is more spectacular every time I see it Catherine! 😍👩🏻🌾🌸🌻🌼🌹🥔🐝🦋
🥔farmer of the year...congrats they look much better than what we get in the shop in this side of the world.
Awe your potatoes are perfect!!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gosh, it looks so mature in so short a time! You’re using magic aren’t ya? Lol🧚🏽♂️🧚🏽♂️🧚🏽♂️
Let your potatoes leaves and stems dry out completely.. and you can store your potatoes in a bin or box with fresh potting mix in cool place and remember to save yourself some seed potatoes..your could grow in greenhouse 🤠
nice harvest 💕
Potatoes…boilem mash’m stick’m in a stew…chips …wow that’s a really great harvest…love potatoes!
Hi Catherine, your garden is is showing all its splendor. Great harvest on spuds, Cute Kitty, he must be interested in our beautiful Miss Blonde. Meow, Meow.
God is good, He gave you a lovely crop, you have a special gift 😍………gardening, green thumbs, i defo was not gifted in that area 😆
Now I want a sunflower showerhead!
Awesome 1st time 🥔🥔🥔 harvest!! 💗💗💗🤗
Just a few plants, making a huge difference. i have a feeling tiny patches of grass will one day become flower garden space....lol It's going to all look lovely....
Wow potatoes 🥔 😋 your garden is the best the heat no matter what I destroyed all my herbs. Tomatoes not looking well for wear. Glad you have rain and Ladybugs 🐞 Have a wonderful week!
Well done Catherine they look delicious some bacon and eggs and peas mmmm enjoy 👍take care 🤗
I'm glad rain is coming to give garden a good water.
Great crop of spuds there 👍😀
Many potatoes 👍
So pretty garden ❤️✨
I can't wait for the rain to come. The heat is driving me mad
Potato gift baskets for everyone 💚
I harvested some onions for pickling
lots of Cucumbers
Strawberries and tomatoes
Lettuce Its such a joy to go into your garden and pick your produce
Oh my miniature sunflower s are gorgeous your garden is so beautiful
My dog has destroyed my garden! Yours looks wonderful. You have made a lovely home for yourself!
Thanks Mary ♥️
We are weeks away from spring in South Africa and I feel so inspired to plant flowers now after seeing this. I usually only interested in my veggies but your garden looks lovely. All those colours! and sunflowers..nothing happier than sunflowers. 🌻🌻🌻🌻
👍Your flowers are beautiful, also the potatoes came out nice. 💜
I just harvested tomatoes. Giving half to my neighbor.
Catherine you have a lovely garden…you should send a video into Monty on Gardeners’ World, really you should. 💜
Wow look at those spuds. So wish you would send some of that rain here. In Norfolk UK we have had no rain for weeks and everything is just crying out for a shower or two. I water everyday but it's not the same as rain. Your garden is just a picture and so is your face when you dug up your spuds. Well done Catherine you have created a beautiful space for you and Blondie and I hope you find a nice young man to cook those spuds for you LOL. xx
So excited for potatoes 🥔!!!!! Beautiful!!
Catherine, you and your magic potatoes bring me such joy! Well done. Thanks for sharing your harvest!
I agree, gardening is magic! I live in Ohio, have 3 raised beds for vegetables and a flower bed. I have harvested 2 varieties of tomates, zucchini, 2 varieties of peppers, cucumbers and am looking forward to potatoes and onions. Also my blackberries and blueberries were great this year. Hopefully next year I'll be able to get asparagus (after 3yrs). Love all your videos!!!!
Lovely potato harvest, it’s like digging for treasure isn’t it, and the taste…. Enjoy. Thank you for another uplifting video x
Always waiting for your garden vlogs with so much pleasure ❤️ dearest Catherine, would it be possible for you to write the names of the plants on the screen when you show them to us? It would really be much appreciated so I can look for them at my garden centre? Big big hug dear! 😘😘
Your garden is just beautiful. Love all the different flowers.😊❤️🇨🇦
Loved my pink cosmos and Mexican Sage, it has purple long blooms! I cut the sage back 1-2 times a year, almost to the ground. Put tomato cages around the green growth. This helps keep this bushy sage upright. The pink and purple look so pretty together! Love your garden! 😊 ❤️
Catherine, I look forward to your videos so much! You are the highlight of my day. 🥰
awwwwww I'm so glad Jane!
Nice harvest of potatoes. Everything is lovely 🙏🏻💜
Congrats on the potatoes.....mashed potatoes, potato salad, potato soup....list goes on what you can do with a few of those!
Yay the sound is back! 😊 🥳
Pretty garden 😆👍 dang... love those potatoes girl. 😊👏💪👍
Lovely garden, Catherine. I too pray for rain. Everything is so crispy. I did get some volunteer tomatoes though. 🍅 😀 I love watching your video's. Thank you.
You know that the Shasta daisy, coreopsis, zinnias flower heads are seeds. When I deadhead them I just throw them into the flower bed and have more flowers the following year.
Let us know if your crop taste nice, I think you get a good feeling when your garden produces good things to eat you did great girl enjoy, flowers are pretty as well. X😀
Turned out delish ♥️
Rustic yellow is such a fall colour. I am eating my pasta sauce this year with fresh herbs from the garden. Delicious.
I guess the tall corner plant is Heliopsis helianthoides - sorry for Latin, but I only know the Polish common name 😉 It grows like crazy here, easy for begginners.
Love your garden and your smile 💗🌸 🌷🌱
The sunflowers "coming out your a***" remark had me in stitches 😂. I too transferred ladybirds but one flew off! (so ungrateful 😂). You will love the coreopsis, mine have been flowering all summer long. Still desperate for a drop of rain here. Well done with the spuds, they will be delicious 💖
The garden is fabulous Catherine. Looove your spuds. A lb of Kerrygold on the table and you’ll have a great feast.
Great spuds girl. Cheers 🍻🌻🥔
Morning Catherine..wow well done with the spuds 👍🥔 I picked up 2 spud bags so I'll be planting mine out soon..still waiting for the frosts to finish to whack in my dahlia bulbs that were given to me by a lady at works hubby when he lifted them..also will be getting seeds sown into trays later in the week...it's still cold and still loads of rain so doesn't make for good gardening days 😞🌧🌧 anyhoo have a fantastic week 👋👋🦘🦘🦘
Your garden is so pretty, I love a rainy day in the garden. What a beautiful potato harvest!! 🥔🥔🥔
Thank you so much 😊
I love your flower garden I wish I could just come sit in one of your chairs and just admire it and enjoy the cooler weather
I love the bees!! Thank you for showing them..
Hi 👋 Catherine. When your sunflowers 🌻 are ready for harvest ,keep a few heads for the birds. Just tie a bit of twine around the stakes where you cut and hang whole heads upside down either from your tree or I like to place them on a nail in my kitchen window frame so I can see the birds hanging upside down getting the seeds from my kitchen table while I have my meals.🐦
That s sounds exciting. 👏I will try it as well. 🙋♀️
@@martinalenz5029 it works well! I've been doing it for a few years now and absolutely love it
Your videos are a bright spot in my day , I love your genuinely sweet attitude towards life . Your garden has evolved so much since I found your channel!!! Holy cow ! You really got alot of spuds from 1 basket ! I like to chop mine up and freeze them for future use .... in stews , roasting, mashing , boiling... cheeky 👍. Happy Gardening 👩🌾
Potatoes look lovely 🤗. You can cook them (so still firm) and freeze them. I steam mine in their skins and then make eg potatoes wedges or roast potatoes with them when I defrost them.
I so enjoy watching your videos about many topics! Well done on your harvest of potatoes, I see many different types of things you can make with them, yum! Happy gardening! 🧑🌾
Your garden is beautiful!! I’m learning so much from you.. we are in a drought in USA, please send rain!!!
Yes, rain would be a blessing! 💧
I second the request for rain!
your front flower border is coming along nicely. plants have a front and back. you planted the front of the daisy towards the wall. Turn it around before it gets rooted. love your vlogs.
Giddy in the Garden 😄 I love it 💖
You always bring a smile to my face and joy to my day. You are a Gem 💎
Getting tomatoes and radishes! Hoping to harvest sweet potatoes!
Lucky you - Rain!! All is looking lovely!
Love watching you!
For potatoe bags that's actually a very good harvest nice job.
I love seeing your harvest. I am harvesting figs, pomegranates, tomatoes, and cantaloupe.
Sounds amazing Alison well done ♥️
I would love a rainy day here it’s hot and dry!!!🥵
I'm inspired to grow potatoes next year! I just live your garden. Everything is looking so nice. 🤍
Great harvest on your potatoes 🥔
Leek & potato soup would be great 😊
My tomatoes are growing well, took few off the other day. Plus father in-law gave me some if his too 🍅
Next year will grow potatoes 🥔
Love your garden, just inspiring
I need plants that slugs hare in my garden 😂
Enjoy your tomato harvest!! Delish! Thanks for stopping by Frances xx
Great first harvest of your potatoes. Will be tasty mashed! Love your new flowers.
Giirrll..I have been up to my ears harvesting & canning green beans, tomatoes, potatoes plus jams & jellies of all varieties 🥵! Of course, all the hard work pays when your pantry is full because of your dedication & love. You could easily preserve your extra potatoes & use them for soups, stews, roasts, the list is never ending, lol. The pop of yellow definitely brought some sunshine to the front border & when the roses flush again it’s going to be stunnin! Have a wonderful week 🤗💜🙏🏻!
So exciting to see your potato harvest!! Let us know what you made with your spuds! Much love from Cobbs Creek, Virginia USA 🇺🇸❤️✌🏻
Gardens are magic.
Your garden is lovely
It is so exciting to see your harvest of potatoes. I have some planter bags I used last yr for tomatoes. You just gave me an idea! 🥰
I loved hearing the rain. It's been so dry here in Michigan. I like the bags you used for your potatoes.
What a bit of rain does👍🏻 it’s like magic. Our garden is so dry a lot of our plants are dying even the established ones, on a drive into my local town it was like Autumn trees are golden and dropping leaves. The rain in the SE of England has been so localised, unfortunately it’s all missed us😟. Anyway your potatoes look lush😋 and the sunflowers are huge I’m loving the garden updates. ❤️
Lovely! You are blessed Catherine.
Your garden is full of colour and it will soon be fuller love it thanks for sharing oh Im going to plant some spuds too 🙌🥰thanks Catherine 😍🦘🐨🇦🇺Karen from Port Macquarie NSW Australia 🌊🐳🦇🍂
Not bad.👏
Own home grown potatoes🥔🥔
You had a potato treasure hunt. I love your garden. Greetings from Houston, Texas.
“Giddy” absolutely described me finally harvesting the first of so many Campari tomatoes on my plants. I started seedlings from a supermarket Campari tomato and ended up with 100 plants!! I chose 7 to plant in the ground and about 25 are in pots.
I also plaited my iris foliage as I saw you do - so tidy and interesting looking.
My garden is slow this year because our spring was cooler than normal. I’m just getting a few cherry tomatoes this week. My early girls are just forming tomatoes. 😂there not to early 😂 My hydrangeas are doing excellent. I have 5 different kinds.
You’re garden looks fantastic darling. The sunflowers are huge and beautiful. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. Appreciated.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Your garden sounds stunning Maureen ♥️😍
Slice and dehydrate, store in glass jars. Cheesy potatos!
Lovely garden & potatoes!!!! Happy eating! We watch Gardeners World weekly & get so much info from them all.
It’s brilliant isn’t it 😍😍
Bravo, Catherine! Potatoes are so fun to find. Buried treasure! We also dug up our first potato bed. Nothing beats a fresh potato shredded into hashbrowns for breakfast, at least, that’s my opinion. :) Some winter squash is trickling in too. Such a blessed time of year. Nature sharing with us her bounty. I’m preparing for a second round of scallions, sun flowers, and other autumn crops. The excitment continues!
Your gardens are looking so beautiful! Harvesting is always so rewarding and exciting… specially digging for potatoes… it IS magic! Much Love from Texas! 🤗
You’re so right Gaby ♥️ thanks for stopping by xx
Wow, the sunflowers are Perfection! Amazing gardening 2022! We are so dry here in upstate NY. Rain promised this week...💙💙

Great spuds. I think I will do mine in pots next year. That way none get left behind. So much enjoy your videos. They always cheer me up.
Nice improvements to the front border!
Quite Lovely!
Lovely video! So beautiful garden and cheerful athmosphere. Thank you!
Chips yummy
How pretty! Love your new plants 🌱❤️ God bless you.
Thank you so much!
It's rainy and I have my coffee . Perfect day for a Dainty vid!!! ❤️
Your garden is lovely. I love growing potatoes, its always a mystery of whats growing underground.
Hi Catherine you have a lovely garden and so cute cat thank you for your nice and relaxing vidéo
Thank you! 😊
You had me laughing with your description of cottage garden “not too perfect, so looking pretty cottag-ie” 😉 That being the case, my garden is SOOO cottag-ie. I applaud your attitude about the whole idea of gardening, nature, etc…..in my mind the idea is to bring you joy and anyone can see that even the smallest successes make you happy. Good for you! You’re an example for even the most veteran of gardeners. Oh, btw……your garden is lovely.
super glad to see the spuds, bravo
Some brilliant photography and colour!
I bought the most gorgeous coral coloured geum yesterday. Tbh I hadn’t thought about the correct pronunciation, so I googled it, and you’re correct - which is what I wouldn’t have been lol
I actually love the sound of the rain! It's peaceful and calming for me.🙂💖
Well done on the potato harvest. Garden looks amazing 🍆 wish we were getting rain in Northern California. Have a blessed week.
