Your blackbirds stealing your strawberries reminds me of one scolding me when I picked black and redcurrants from my garden did it every time
That’s so funny 😂 he claimed those as his 😂😂
Omg cheeky little things!
You're always working on things around your home❤ I wish I could be half as productive as you! Thanks for sharing your world with us. Makes me happy !!
It’s hard to find the motivation sometimes for sure but it’s always worth it in the end ♥️ thanks for stopping by xx
I love the passion you have for your garden . It's just the perfect size and you've made it look amazing.
Aw thank you, sometimes I dream of a bigger space but then I realise how hard it is to maintain my small space 😆
I agree. This is absolutely perfect. I never miss watching this channel. Always something different. And we can see how this garden has grown and developed thru the years. I remember how exciting it was when the greenhouse went up☺️…and putting in the boxes. Every corner of this garden has been “beautified” with the DaintyDiaries touch🥰
I can spend the whole day with you in the garden❤❤❤
Please send rain our way, we’ve had very hot temperatures and very dry summer. Your garden always lovely full of flowers. Sorry about your flight ordeal. 📘📖
Newborn size disposable diapers in the bottom of plant pots before adding soil and plants....they have moisture absorbent beads that hold moisture for the roots. Works great.
I weed everytime it rains it's so much easier to get weeds out. I also deadhead plants every morning and cut back any plants that need it. I luv gardening . It is so relaxing and rewarding.Luv your flower beds and your videos.❤❤ Have a wonderful week.❤
Has to be done! Thanks for stopping by ♥️♥️
It's a good day when you got sticks in your hear 💕🤠
haha, so true x
Your garden minded you while you were away. Everything is beautiful. It is always a good day when the green house windows are sparkling clean. Just a little mow around your nature garden. I have some of those water spikes same results. I added a thin film of plastic wrap and just punched 1 or 2 small holes then screwed the top on. Only lets out a small amount now.
Those mirrors on your wall with the ivy dangling above them is absolutely gorgeous ❤
Aw thanks, il have to trim the Ivy again but I am enjoying it for now ☺️
I've been watching your videos for years and only recently noticed that you look like Baby Spice!
OMG!!!! you are soo right!!! that is why she looks familiar!!!😆
The trousers do absolutely suit you....👍🥰
I just love the new dungarees! The color is beautiful 😍
Love the idea of a secret winner ! So fascinating.. surprise !
Greenhouse looks great!
Oh my what a difference from last year, your plants have grown so much. Beautiful variety of plants, I also love the looks of the over flowing plants from the pond. You definitely have a green thumb Catherine, those dungarees are lovely on you good choice.
Awww thank you 🙏🏼
Catherine your garden is just beautiful 😊😊😊😊I seriously can’t get over how amazing it is! And those stunning flowers too!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Your garden is looking lush and that lettuce 😮
I love hanging baskets and window boxes but I also forget to water them. Fixed this with automated irrigation system. Tiny black pipe which can be tactfully hidden from view and didn’t cost much by avoiding the bigger named brands. Really works well. 😊
Very very clever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
what irrigation system did you buy?
The aquilegia plants do tend to get mildewy anyway. I always cut them low to the ground when they've finished flowering and they just pop back up with new foliage that keep the clump looking much tidier. I also chop back the fennel.
Aw great tip! Thank you, I think il cut mine back too x
Loving those dungarees. A lovely colour and they suit you so much. Great video.
Catherine, you're such a treat to watch,twigs in your hair makes me smile,love the french pink overalls,so cute on you. X
Aww ☺️ thank you x
You’re right about allowing ventilation in the garden plantings…it’s also good to thin out within trees and bushes to allow sun and air flow to get in nicely.
Yea, think my mission will be to thin out that corner x
I love how full it is but it’s crying for attention x
This is my first year growing dahlias so I was unaware of how to deadhead them. Thanks for the tips!
Dungarees look great i love the colour. Good to see you back 8n the garden. Catch you Thursday. Keep smiling 😊😊😊
Great clean up. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bees LOVE clover in your wild lawn patch. I do the same in my garden..
Lovely volg😊. Ps. When you go near a bee hive🐝, the bees will not sting if you get close, as long as you do not stand in front of/block their flight path in and out of the hive entrance/exit.
I love this, that is so good to know!
Love watching your garden videos , gives me inspiration to keep my garden looking nice.. love the Dungaree’s ❤
Your garden is looking so beautiful with all your gorgeous flowers
Thank you so much 😊
Love the colour of your dungarees glad they fit ..they are perfect.
Glad your home safe and sound.
Take care x
Thank you! 😊
Cute garden. Love the sweet peas! I wish I could get them to grow. 😊
Always such a busy bee x
Thanks for this video. We had bad storms Friday where I live...and today I had to say goodbye to my parent's dog (family dog) so just not feeling very nice. This video was just whatt I needed. Still sad, but feeling a little better.
I’m so so sorry for your loss and I’m thinking of you ❤️
Love strolling through your beautiful cottage garden with you. You certainly have a green thumb and you are making the bees and birds so happy! 🌸🌺🌻🌼🪷🪻
So nice of you, thank you x
Your garden is beautiful Catherine. I bet you glad to get home. Love your dungarees, great colour. Have a lovely week 😊
So happy to be home ☺️
Lol I was in your wonderful country the first 2 weeks of June. Warm and humid. 😅
The purple stuff in your front Wild Patch, we used to call (as kids) " Honeysuckle " and we used to pull out the little purple petals and there would be a drip of Honey on the end that we would eat. and that's what we did!... memories 🎶
I love your greenhouse. Your garden looks great. Cheeky👍👍👍!
Thanks for visiting xxxxx
Read about wicking water to your plants while you are away. It's so easy, little cost, and plant saver...of course good for house plants too.
Great tip 👏🏻 thanks for sharing
Wonder if a small sponge lodged in the opening of the bottle after you fill it with water before you attach it to the cone, would slow down the water flow into the soil. Just a thought. Meanwhile, your garden looks like it is thriving. Love the natural space in the front lawn.❤️
Great idea!
That is a great idea with the sponge, I’m gonna try it.
Cute jumper. Love the color.
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful that you were able tp have a bit of a holiday!
Really looking forward to it ♥️ thanks for stopping by xx
I recognised the new overalls straight way - they look great! You are certainly a very self disciplined person Catherine and get all these unpleasant jobs done when needed. You keep everything up to a high standard and your home reflects that both inside and out. I love your cottage style and how light and bright it all is but at the same time a feeling of cosiness and warmth. 💐❤️
you are so kind! Thank you so much, not gonna lie, sometimes it can feel like a chore x
Your garden is dreamy! I live in Athens and i have a balcony so all my plants are in pots.Before i had a watering system installed i used to keep the bottles of water or anything with a lid (like the milk bottle you had on the video) and i used to water all my plants very well and then i pinned the lids with sewing needle in 2 or 3 spots to make very small holes and i placed the bottle near the roots. When i came back everything needed watering but no plant ever dyed in the hot Greek summer!🥰(i have plants like hydrangeas, roses that need a lot of water)
I will be away from my garden for almost 3 weeks. I will look up some ways to self water. Thanks for the inspiration. Laurie
Enjoy your time away ☺️ Mother Nature will help you I am sure ❤️
I just love your home and garden. ❤
Thank you so much! xxx
Your garden is so pretty i realy enjoyed your vedios have a great week❤
I love your
DUNGAREES
and
YES MINT can be a BEAST
I do realise the transformation into a real cottage garden, Catherine ,compared to last years. It flourishes much more, I especially like the delicate flowers. You are making progress, indeed.🌱🙋♀️
There’s always something to be done ♥️ thanks for stopping by! Xx
❤Awesome job. Always ❤ love your garden.
Thanks so much! x
You're so lucky with all the rain 😉 Here it's so dry. When it's raining all the time one might get nerved but when it's not raining at all then one is always watching the weather report hoping for rain. Rainwater is so much better for the plants than tap water 🚰💦 Thank you very much for sharing this video. Have a wonderful week.
Glad of the rain for the plants 🪴♥️
Look at your apple tree. Love
A job well done on the greenhouse. You must be very happy with it and the plants will receive more sunshine as well☀
Everything is looking good for midsummer. It’s horribly hot here. It takes my breath away when I step out. Your apples 🍏 🍎 look beautiful.
Have a nice week away. Garden is tidy. I’ve been doing my garden today still looks pretty. Have a lovely time Kerry see you soon bye❤
I understand completely about catching up in the garden. I'm just getting over covid and I've been neglecting my garden since the first of July. I pulled a few weeds and dead headed but it's only the tip of the iceberg 😅. I have to rest now so I can get back at her tomorrow . Your garden is looking absolutely lovely. Thanks for the zinnia tips..its my first year growing them from seed and they're just starting to bloom.
Rest is just as important too but always nice to have the balance! Hope you’re recovering okay after covid! Thanks for stopping by Kelly ♥️🥰
You are a joy to watch, love your Dublin humour, that's coming from a Culshie in Wexford. Lol.
Lovely video your garden looks lovely🤩
Thank you so much 😊
Your beautiful soothing garden helped me as I woke today w the mos massive migraine I’ve ever had. My brain thanks you. So glad the garden held up so well💗💗💗💗
Aww I’m so glad to hear that ♥️ means a lot to me! Hope you feel better soon and thanks for watching xx
Catherine, love those overalls! Happy Sunday to you lass!
❤ always enjoy watching all your videos, makes my day/week, beautiful garden well done sweet x 😊
Aww thanks so much ♥️♥️ have a lovely week xx
French market overalls are super cute!
Cozy, beautiful, cute! 👏👏👏Super! 😍
Lovely vlog Catherine you garden is so pretty 🤩📖
Thank you my dear
Welcome 😊
Your garden is so well maintained so beautiful.
Thank you ☺️ sometimes o get overwhelmed but I enjoy being outside in it x
Yay!! Garden time....love all the pop of color, such beautiful blossoms...some of my plants didn't flower much with this heat, we're on 105°F today and I did water them early in the morning just to keep them going🫠🔥
Ouch! So hot, lots of people have been sharing the same about the heat and flowers, your not alone ❤️❤️❤️
Your garden is really looking beautiful Catherine.
That is so kind thank you x
We live in northern California and are having a heat wave. It is always hot here in the summer, but it's hotter than usual. It was 112 yesterday and today. We never get any rain here in the summer. Gardening is a real challenge here.
I’m so sorry to hear about the heatwaves and how challenging it’s been to garden x
I had the same experience with the cone watering system.
Thank you for your inspiration
I got the book from joanne thank you for your recommendation
I hope you enjoy it xxxx
Your garden looks beautiful Catherine 😊❤
Your so kind 🙏🏼 have a great week ahead x
Great Sunday video 💚🌺💚
Everything is really growing great! I'm really interested in the Allium. Am doing lots and lots of watering here in San Diego. Not too hot yet, but fires & heat are really beginning to happen north of us...Scary time of the year. Next month, Sept & Oct are our hottest, driest months..I never look forward to then..
Hi! I feel the same about those bottle drip toppers! They drains the water way too fast! I was quite disappointed after buying them. Used them only one time. Love you're channel by the way! Some lovely stuff!
Absolutely not ideal!! Thanks so much Brenda for stopping by 🩷
so many lovely flowers! the new dungarees are excellent♡ i love red clover! the dried tops make such a good tea for overall wellness. i forgot to do the giveaway, dang it! 😵
Oh thanks for letting me know you can make tea with them ☕️
Welcome back❤ 🍺time !
Your garden looks lovely! ❤
Happy your garden survived. I stress about leaving also. Enjoyed the in depth video of your garden 🌻 🌳🌼 on Karen's Channel "Lovely Girlie Bits".
Aww thanks so much ♥️♥️
Here in South Texas, the problem is watering the garden and potted plants in my absence. They can't go a single day without watering. I can almost guarantee there will be no rain.
I want to know here your favorite spot in you garden is? I love your woodland area!!
Use
Hi, I'm new on your channel. Was your greenhouse from a kit? It's lovely.
Wondering where you got your greenhouse or did you design and make it? ❤❤❤
Hey, I bought it from outdoorliving.ie x
I had the cones
I threw them away
I couldn’t understand how to use them 😮
❤️🤗👍🏼
Just wondering Catherine
How do you keep all your plants from frost and winter
I guess in that house you got 😊
Hey, we don't get a lot of frost but the plants I purchase are mostly hardy perennials except for the annuals x
those bottle feeders didnt work for me either
Hi where did you get the pole thing you cleaned the greenhouse with, could do with one I'm in the UK though x
