I'm new to your channel and I have to tell you, your enthusiasm and joy are so infectious. I too get so excited over the smallest things in my garden. It feels like a miracle to me sometimes! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent in such a joyful way. Blessings to you, my dear!
Awe!! I’m super new to her channel as well! I found her through Janey, DPWR… I just love watching her with the plants. I love plants and love watching others with their plants… It’s so interesting to me the difference in gardens in the different states. I moved a few years back and it was only 2 hrs away, HOWEVER the difference in the earth and the plants that I was no longer able to work with was shocking. Things I once grew with ease became a real struggle… I’m only imagining what it would be like to garden in Washington!! This is also one state/coast I’ve always wanted to visit. So I’m excited to watch more from her channel! (Sorry my morning coffee has me rattling) 😂😂❤
Good morning, neighbor. Oh yes--Peter Cottontail is very much alive and well here. And can't forget Bambi !! Oh, and the rogue Elk that makes his appearance (and bed) under the fir tree. The "joys" of living amongst the wildlife. Your efforts are going to be richly rewarded--don't despair. Love your enthusiasm. Thanks for the tour.
Hi Kate, I love your new haircut, it's cute. I am so proud of you. You're gardens really look great, especially your back garden. Darn those pesky rabbits. lol! 😊
Hi Kate… call me crazy, but the raindrops on your table was completely beautiful. So much artistic value in that view. Your garden is breathtaking right from the table to the rows of cut flowers! 👍❤️🥰🌸Liz from California
I would like to see a video on how you make tea out of your mint and chamomile plants and whatever else you use. Love your videos! I always pick up a tidbit here or there! like planting zinnias or cosmos in blank spaces where nothing has came up!
thanks for sharing. i do love to have tours in your garden. the rain is special also and well make everything so happy. we need rain here and can't get enough. your garden is so pretty and green. hope those bunnies will leave yours alone.
I found this on you tube for bunnies: get cheap small wire waste baskets from dollar tree and put those over your new plants. I tacked mine down with landscape staples because of our wind (zone 5a, NW Iowa) I left them on until the plants were too tough for the bunnies. However, they also made a salad bar of my hostas. I caged those, too.
Thanks for persevering through the rain to give us this fabulous garden tour!! I feel your pain with the rabbits eating your plants but your attitude towards it is inspiring. Looking forward to Tea Time with Kate on Sunday!!! 🪴💮🏵🌺🌻🌼🌱
I’m new to your channel and look forward to your videos and commentary. And I have to tell you how much I love your new hair cut and those fancy nails! So cute!
Totally understand your rabbit frustration. I was watering and doing a little clean up before a friend came for lunch. At the time I was so happy to see all the flowers on a clump of my villas. By the time she arrived the flowers had all been eaten UGH! The Fred Meyer dahlias is beautiful. Love finding a deal like that.
So much JOY in your garden, even on a rainy day, Kate! It's drizzling in my IL garden this morning, too. Question: How do you use your Apple Mint for tea? Perhaps you can share as you steep a cup of tea! 🩷
Sakura is my favourite cherry tomato! Produces the entire season and no diseases. I've grown it every year for the last 6 years. I'm in Vancouver BC, so same climate as you. Also, love your hair and bangs :)
Everything is looking so good! So sorry you lost some dahlias!!! I like your idea of replacing them with zinnias! Thanks for sharing this with us all!!
Hi Kate, I’m new to your channel. And I really get the rain. I am in Newfoundland Canada the most eastern part of North America zone 5B. Our temperatures this spring and summer have been between 58 and 72. I love it. A hot day throws me off. Your gardens are beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy your channel Kate and enjoying seeing you post more often. I’m in your area so the information you share is relevant… No questions for tea time Sunday, so far so good this year - cute bangs too!
I live north of Seattle in Snohomish/Monroe. Off Hwy 2. I’ve had so much rain. I’ve had to replant basil twice. I fear I might not get my usual production this year. I like hot weather, but will also rather have rain, not over 100degree. And here hoping not to have the smoke from over the mountains this year. I ran to FM hoping to score a big dalia. :(
I garden in a full sun garden in El Cerrito, just north of Berkeley. Erigeron is one of my favorite plants because it reseeds so freely! I never know where it is going to pop up, and am delighted by how established English Garden it looks. Also, if you're ever at Dunn Lumber in Greenlake, tell Kieran his mom says Hi!
Everything is looking so amazing!! How fun!! And your cut flower garden project is coming along so nicely too! You are doing such a good job, just taking it on a little at a time and now it’s so happy ☺️❤️ Thank you for all that you do and share. I love your videos! And my sweet Marilyn’s Magic is growing so well! I am just giddy with anticipation of what she is going to look like 🥹
Thank you for sharing your garden and planters. I love your style! I’m obsessed with your sedum planter. I’m going to copy you. Is fertilizer necessary? Also, have you ever started Mexican daisies from seed? I can’t find the plant in zone 6b-Ohio anywhere.
Good morning Kate, Your haircut and wispy bangs are adorable on you 😊. Your garden is looking beautiful! I cannot seem to grow roses, what is your advice? I live in zone 7a-b. Also any advice to get rid of Beatles? Thanks ❣️
The rabbit struggle is real. I'm also in Seattle and a neighborhood that is flush with rabbits. I grow many flowers and annuals from seed. When I plant these out in the garden; most of them get a protective ring of hardware cloth about 8-10" diameter by 8-10" tall. I hold them in a cylindrical shape by using zip ties. I have a huge collection of these and I like them more than I thought I would. Rabbits go away. My garden and fence line will get a massive re-fresh of Liquid Fence today!!
Love seeing how your garden is growing as well as where Ma Nature takes the lead and says, "Nah, not this one this time." I'm learning a ton from you and enjoying spending time with you as you garden. I'm new to growing dahlias. Starting this year with a few Costco varieties as a trial. My question is when do you pinch them back to get fuller blooms? Also when and how do you stake them?
Good morning Kate! I have made circular cages and place them over the plants to protect against rabbits. Then when the plant grows tall enough to to have the new leaves/fruit to be out of bunny range,I remove them. It really works!
Beautiful garden Kate ! We have had tons of bunnies in my area WPB Florida got a few years now ,nevef before and I only havd seen one occasionally in my front yard eating thd grass,I hope that all hd eats😅!!Love zinnias and dahlias too!!Your blueberries look amazing ❤
I will take some of your rain! We’ve had next to none in June in southeast PA. Even the grass is dead. Seeing a lot of plants I spent time and money on struggling to survive 😢
Beautiful tour! So fun to see how your garden is progressing over the season! Thinking of rain, can you share advice on container soil best for rain and heat. My outdoor begonia container was stunning…..until we got a couple torrential downpours…then they rotted. Is there a mix that holds some water but also drains?
Thank you Kate for such a great garden tour. You are an inherent teacher and I appreciate it. Something I may have missed you address before (I’m new here :) did you just move into your home to start this garden or was your own landscape the last thing to do as you running your business?
I rather have too much rain than not enough. Everything is green and lush. I love seeing all those little pockets of your garden. That to me is what gardening fun, checking on these little treasures to see how they are thriving. Oh, and your new haircut looks amazing!❤
Such lovely rain! We need some here in N.C. where I garden. Since you asked...As I was working outside blowing Magnolia Grandiflora leaves, I was wondering about a plant I just planted last week. I am calling it upright verbena since I have forgotten it's real name, is this a plant I cut back the flowers on when they are done? Will it rebloom? Love your beautiful roses!
Hello Kate, Could you take some full shots of your yard? You tend to do close ups. I would like to see a full picture, particularly of the front yard. I would like to see the view from the street that includes your front plantings, veggie bed, new dining table and house. I would like to see the full picture and how everything relates to one another.
Hello! I love Mexican feather grass, however I’m seeing older plants rot in the center and it spreads like crazy in my garden. How do you keep your Mexican feather grass nice and from taking over? I live in zone 9a CA similar to Janey and like her we have clay soil and drip irrigation.
Gardens are looking good! Is irrigation common in Seattle? It is not in the Philadelphia area where we actually get more annual precipitation than Seattle. We finally got rain this weekend after a very dry month and a half. The spring was super wet.
They used to be very uncommon but the climate here has changed so much in the past decade. I recommend them for people with busy lives… it really helps protect your investment. 💕
I would done it with a wire waste can from dollar tree til they are bigger and the rabbits should leave alone older thicker plants. Or any kind off of cage. I find that they love any young tender growth
The only way to win the rabbit war is to place a rabbit proof fence around the garden. Poultry wire will work. Lay it on the ground so they can’t tunnel under and extend it upward about 4 ft. minimum.
Flower Garden beautiful.. 🌷🥰😁😘😘🌹💐

Everything looks beautiful Kate! I'm amazed at how far your cutflower garden has come, despite the bunnies. ❤
Just beautiful! I could listen to you all day. Can't wait till this channel hits 10,000 subs!!
I would like to see a video on how you make tea out of your mint and chamomile plants and whatever else you use. Love your videos! I always pick up a tidbit here or there! like planting zinnias or cosmos in blank spaces where nothing has came up!
Your shoes are to cute for the garden! My gardening shoes are always so dirty as are my feet! 😂
Oh my- what is that dark Sedum? Need! I’m jonesing here! How stunning! I’ll take the rain too!
Love your garden! ❤❤❤❤
Could be “Back in Black” Sedum
Everything is looking amazing Kate 🍃🌺🍃

I empathize with your rabbit frustration! SAME!!!!! They are eating everything that is supposed to be rabbit -resistant for me this year, too!!
Beautiful looking gardens, they are a pollinators dream.

I need to find that lobelia 🤩🤩🤩 TFS 😍
I use repels all. I take an old terry cloth towel ripped in strips and tie them to a garden stake and spray them heavily. Hope it works

More info on the waterproof labels and the white plant tags. BTW, love your podcast.
Beautiful garden Kate !

Loved getting to see your garden! It’s beautiful! 💚💐 I’m also obsessed with gaura! 😍 How old is your garden? Thank you for sharing!
I just started some of the moss feverfew too.. mine haven't bloomed yet. It doesn't seem to like full sun here in Florida.
Such lovely rain! We need some here in N.C. where I garden. Since you asked...As I was working outside blowing Magnolia Grandiflora leaves, I was wondering about a plant I just planted last week. I am calling it upright verbena since I have forgotten it's real name, is this a plant I cut back the flowers on when they are done? Will it rebloom? Love your beautiful roses!
Thank you for the reminder to pinch back my dahlia. How far down should I cut it back?
Hello Kate, Could you take some full shots of your yard? You tend to do close ups. I would like to see a full picture, particularly of the front yard. I would like to see the view from the street that includes your front plantings, veggie bed, new dining table and house. I would like to see the full picture and how everything relates to one another.
Absolutely! In my next garden tour I will make sure to get wider shots. Thank you for the suggestion.
Rabbits are upping their culinary tastes. 🥺💐💚🙃
Hi kate, new sub here. Love your passion for gardening. question, can you put a link to the weed barrier? Or let me know on tea with Kate on Sunday 😊
💞💞💝💝😍😍
Hello! I love Mexican feather grass, however I’m seeing older plants rot in the center and it spreads like crazy in my garden. How do you keep your Mexican feather grass nice and from taking over? I live in zone 9a CA similar to Janey and like her we have clay soil and drip irrigation.
Be careful with the Shinto cause mine had hidden seeds. it was impossible to deadhead all. Mine can in with herbs as seeds in pots
Hi Kate I’m a new subscriber and I would like to now the name on the trees on back of your roses.❤
Gardens are looking good! Is irrigation common in Seattle? It is not in the Philadelphia area where we actually get more annual precipitation than Seattle. We finally got rain this weekend after a very dry month and a half. The spring was super wet.

I would done it with a wire waste can from dollar tree til they are bigger and the rabbits should leave alone older thicker plants. Or any kind off of cage. I find that they love any young tender growth

Can you share the name of the white flower sedum in your centerpiece. I’m wondering if it is zone 6b tolerant. - Di, zone 6b-Ohio
Hi DiMarie! The name of the plant is portulaca and would be an annual in your climate unless you over winter it inside.
