You're the best Adam 🥰 and I agree it’s easy to say nasty things about people in a faceless arena and lots do 😢 I’d rather have a gardening world full of people who are like minded and just want to support each other 🥰

Totally agree. Ali is so considerate and gives so much of her time to us all with her thoughtful comments 👏.

Thanks for visiting Grandma Sandy and I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day 🥰🥰

Thanks for visiting I’m glad you enjoyed the garden. Have an amazing week and again thank you 🙏

Merci Malo 🙏. I hope you are well and staying in good spirits.

Oh no 🙈 the ones in the ground are ok so far and the ones in the raised bed slugs don’t normally get to but last year caterpillar 🐛 are all the tops before they got established 😡😡. Happy gardening 👩‍🌾

Thanks so much Ms Ursula it is cooler today much better for yard work. Have a super week and happy harvesting 🥰🥰

Thank you so much 😊, somedays I think it’s too much but then the sun comes along and it’s all worth it again. Have a wonderful week 🙏

Thank you 🙏

The elusive Gerald hates being in camera and never actually talks if I’m filming 😝😝. He tends to think it’s all crazy how we do this videoing thing all over the world. He never even watches my videos 😲, how rude. But I’ll try sneaking him in one or two this year. Happy gardening and have a super weekend Eleanor 🧑‍🌾👍

Thanks GG the slugs have arrived and they think so too 🤭 what’s a gardener to do 🤷‍♀️. It’s pouring today so I am afraid to go out and look 😜. Have a super day I hope it’s warmed up now for you 🙏

Oh lord Paula it’s been so hot and barely any rain I thought they would do well. But the slugs are starving apparently because for the first time I can remember they are decimating my tomato plants 🤦🏼‍♀️. Good thing I have spares 👍.

I think they are gorgeous but as with most flowers I really could get carried away 🤣🤣 hence the lily forest. It has been low 30’s for a few days but we may drop a bit next week. Glad your plants are recovering they are pretty good at taking care of themselves. Have an amazing weekend Heidi and thank you for your ongoing support 🥰

It’s nice to know we as humans can still stop for a baby gosling and take time to smile at the antics crossing a street. Ha ha sitting back doing nought oh wait no that was last week 🤣🤣. Have a marvellous weekend and I will buy him an ice cream 🍦 to cheer him up after I hand him his list of jobs 🤦🏼‍♀️

They are so resilient in a harsh world reminds me of Charlottes Web 🕸️🕸️. I hope your having a wonderful time in sunshine and the garden 🥰

Thank you Grandma Sandy I hope you are all well 🙏

Thank you Stacey have a wonderful and blessed weekend my friend 🥰

Thank you! You too Tracy hope the sunshine holds up for you 👍🌞

Thanks for coming along I hope you always enjoy 😊

😝 my mantras green in the ground and not dead is good 👍, happy weekend Sam 👩‍🌾

Oh ahh look at that 🤣🤣 it’s so easy to do. It is all kicking off now I have shelves and tables and stands all covered in umbrellas and shaded🤦🏼‍♀️ looks like a body garden centre. But hopefully if it cools a wee bit I can get some beans out in the ground and lessen the load on the shuffling. Potty mouth at the frickin ready with all these slugs attacking 😡😡

It was a very lovely story I still have the DVD 😂

Ah thank you it is looking a bit insane at the moment with seedlings all over getting some sun 🌞. But I’ll be able to put out more once it cools just a wee bit. Have an amazing weekend guys and happy gardening 🧑‍🌾

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you 🙏

🤭🤭 I try not to sweat too much and offend some but hey occasionally it’s the only way, have a super week 👍👍

@@myrustygarden I feel the same way but you make me laughxx

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

Yikes 31c we even left the bedroom window open all night it stayed that warm. Good thing I have so many spares 🤭🤭 to trade out vut I think I’ll wait until they are a bit bigger frost. Happy growing Clare 👩‍🌾🌞

It’s finally getting organized but a lot of watering having to be done 🤦🏼‍♀️

Glad you enjoy the videos like you Manda I just like entertaining people, life’s too short and depressing sometimes and a good giggle in the garden does wonders. Hope you have an amazing week ahead and shorts for the win 💪💪

See and I thought the peas were lacking this year. But I think I grew way more last year too 🤷‍♀️. Luckily I have spares on the tomato front. Yes it finally cooled down to mid 20’s today and so far no rain in sight. Rather scary actually that we didn’t have much rain in April either. But for now it’s more about protecting the seedlings from scorching. Enjoy the shed 👍👍

Oh thank you 🙏, I tried purple and other colours they faded too fast but the red seems to go well with all the greens 🥬 and last longer. Have a marvellous week and thank you for popping by

Oh fabulous Shawn now we can start complaining about the heat 🥵, as we do. Look forward to seeing your updates once the beds are filled with amazing veg, happy gardening 👩‍🌾

Thank you 😊 it has been quite warm here but the plants are loving it 😍. Have a super weekend 🥰

Thank you for your kind words, do you have a channel I can subscribe to and support.

@@myrustygarden I don’t sweetie, I did want to start one a few years back but life got in the way. My mother passed away and I was looking after my dad. Then when he passed (during Covid) I wasn’t really in a great place. I have a few health issues on and off since then. I wouldn’t say I’ll never do it but at the moment I’m happy to plod away at the plot (keeps me out of trouble) maybe one day soon x I really love to watch and support all you wonderful RU-vid gardeners! I really think you do an incredibly kind act of sharing your experience, expert knowledge and friendship 💚 that is exactly what I need now. Thanks so much for asking Ali you’re a lovely, lovely person and it’s a delight watching your adventures in your beautiful garden 😘💚

@@sowenchantedirishkitchenga8282 oh my you have had a lot to deal with 🥰. It was a most devastating time in our lives and I have COPD so we were even more cautious than most. It can be a double edged sword doing RU-vid it’s fun inter with lovely people all over the world but there are also just mean people out have nothing better to do than criticize others. I find 99.9% are nice but I did have someone who didn’t get my humour and called me rude. Then just don’t watch 😂. Have a wonderful week and I hope you have some amazing weather 🥰

@@myrustygarden I love your sense of humour petal x keep it coming 💚

Oh fab I hope it does well. The peonies in the ground are doing awesome I just need to find a spot for the other 2 🤦🏼‍♀️. I hope you are both well and keeping that humour that we all love so much about you both. Have a simply awesome day and let Val know I have been waiting for spider face plants already 🤣.

It has been an amazing few days and we even had the bedroom window open last night as it was hot 😲. I always appreciate support I get so it’s important to pass that encouragement on I think. Too many negative people out there 😢. Funny my peonies normally have ants (jinxed myself now) but there are no ants this year. Oh can you lift them a wee bit or will you just wait a bit longer? I planted mine years (eons) ago way too deep not knowing and just thought the plant was a dud. A lady at world told me about the deep thing and the 4 gorgeous peonies I have now are splits from that original one. Look forward to seeing the new quail run Mags, have an awesome weekend 👍👍

I had my sprouts mullered first so I bought starters put them in the ground then panicked 🙀 and took them out and put in pots. But I found a huge slug walking up my carrot pot so I don’t know what the answer is 🤦🏼‍♀️. Got tired of labels with lettering so faded 🤭 but this seems to work. Have an awesome weekend Mal happy gardening 🧑‍🌾

Thank you Merrill 🥰 I hope you have a relaxing weekend

Thank you so much 😊 Ms L, I hope you are well and enjoying your garden 🪴.

🤭🤭 I’ve always related more to Charlie Chaplin than Charles Dowding and that’s ok with me. Slugs are very odd this year I’m seeing a few big ones but those few are doing immense amounts of damage 😢. I would try them in baskets what have you got to lose it still early. Hugs and prayers for you and the family Sox, happy gardening 🥰🥰

So nice of you Nick I hope you enjoy. It’s been fun connecting with so many people around the world with similar interests even when it’s bad as we learn from them all

Thanks so much Katie happy Mother’s Day ❤️

If I can make Tony giggle my work is done 🥰. It I’m like you if feel if I follow and watch I,have to comment so people know how much I love their content. So many people are getting upset that they don’t think people like what they are posting or someone puts a snide comment on a they want to give up 😢. We keep being told we will get rain and it doesn’t come. So many areas of Alberta and Manitoba are on evacuation orders because of rampant wildfires already, all we can do is pray for these people 😢

Crikey that's scary. Wildfire is a dangerous and unpredictable thing. I'm currently bashing red lily beetles to a pulp. They've taken a liking to my snakeshead fritillary 😢

Ahh so lovely to hear from you 🥰. Gerald has tools that belonged to his dad and they still work great, he hones them and sharpens as needed and they just keep going 💪. Oh good about the tomatoes 🍅. I’ll text you 🥰 have a fab weekend

I have seeded ones and crowns but yes if they aren’t too expensive crowns are the way to go. Here every once in a while they go on sale so I’ll buy a few replacements 👍. Have an awesome weekend Tony and of course Teddy 👍

@@myrustygarden thank you we will

Yes we do this every year don’t we here in Canada go from zero to 30 in a day 🤦🏼‍♀️. But we’re tough we’re Canucks 💪🇨🇦

It poured rain for 2 days so luckily it all got watered but it also brought out all the slugs. I’m just growing flowers next year 😜😜 I’m tired of slugs eating everything. Yes the peonies should looks beautiful I put some by the window in the tv room too.

Awesome idea about the casters makes me want slabs even more 😝. His winter honey do list 👍. Last year it was crazy moving shade and pots across the other side of the garden p, then it gets cold so they have to moved back again. Hmm 🤔 a train track with plant stands 😁😁. I was just telling Nick most are forged tools and you don’t find them anymore unless you buy old, Gerald has shovels that are 50 years old 😁. Have an awesome weekend Ady 🧑‍🌾

I am trying now to set time aside to watch and support the channels and I think most people relate to the insane times of spring and summer🤭🤭. Oh my old boss used to have an amazing roof top garden 🪴. Hope you have a super weekend and get some sunny 🌞 days on the terrace

Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much all are welcome 🙏 to the Rusty Garden 🪴

Isn’t it tall I was shocked and it’s doing so well 🌷. I still have that pile sitting there while I decide what to do with it, change of plans again of course. At least all your snow is gone so spreading it out won’t be so bad. Have an awesome weekend Bell 🧑‍🌾

Thank you and many blessings 🙏

Thanks and welcome 🙏

It's so good to see you have sunshine 🌞 ☀️, may it last. We've been having temperatures in the 70 Fahrenheit range this week. But rain is forecast, well at least I won't have to water. The garden is looking so good. Take care. Colin 🇬🇧 UK

Where I used to work in the city our building was at a huge intersection and traffic came to a stand still even in rush hour for geese babies. Nice to know the world still has a bit of compassion for something. It was 31c yesterday 🥵🥵 but no true rain for a week or more. I have to sort hoses for the bean arch as I took the old one up last winter 🙈 more work. Have an awesome weekend guys and happy gardening 🧑‍🌾

We are not Sue any significant rain until maybe late May but as always that could change. It’s same every year 😝 we whine about the cold and then we whine when it gets hot, never happy but happy 😊. Have an awesome weekend Colin and Beau 🧑‍🌾

It’s a better option than last year 🤣🤣 I had tables on shade side of the yard and then on the sunny side 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was carrying pots back and forth it was exhausting. Jason at allotment of the dead says someone did a study by putting dob of paint on snails and taking them far away but they all came back 😱😱😱. So back to bathing it is I think 🛁.

Hi Elaine I hope your well and getting more things out each day. I just took 3 huge boxes of seedlings to my daughters for her sis in law. Makes a lot less watering 🤭🤭. Peonies are gorgeous and hopefully last a while. It has cooled down a bit today only 23c which makes working outside a lot easier. I change my mi d regularly on,y problem is it’s usually the middle of the night 🤣🤣 then I’m awake for,hours with plans in my head. Have a fabulous week ahead I hope it stays warm (ish) it not too warm right 🥰🥰

Laughter is the best medicine Rich so the doctors in the house 🤣. Hope the rains hold off for you to get some much deserved allotment fun. We are on the other end praying for rain again but Mother Nature and the good lord make the rules though so I guess we just have to wait. Happy sowing 👩‍🌾

Thank you! 😊

Welcome 🙏 I hope you enjoy the journey with us 🥰

I know right like come on mama take them to the other side of the brook instead 🤦🏼‍♀️. But I’m glad people don’t just speed by and do damage to the cutest little goslings ever 🥰

Yep we are, may, could 😝maybe get rain next week. Gotta love weather people they just cover all their bases with a million adjectives 🙈. I think those spider nests are amazing and so many of the little babies floating away. Now Gerald screams like a girl of a spider is near him 🤣🤣. From 2c to 31 was just too quick no time to adjust but hey that’s nature. Have a super weekend Mike 👩‍🌾

Thank you 🥰

Thanks Tracey 👍

Ahh thank you beautiful sisters and welcome 🙏

Looks like a garden centre out there everything is on shelves being warm but not in direct sun 🌞. It was 31c yesterday we even kept the bedroom window open all night 🤦🏼‍♀️. I cut the grass the other day and it needs doing again already. But hey ho what’s a gardener to do. I am hoping it cools down a bit in a few days and we may get a sprinkle because I want to tempt fate and put out some beans 🫘. Have an awesome weekend Robin and hope the winds die down I hear it’s crazy lower south from you. Gerald’s daughter went to Tennessee Thursday to visit her friend just in time for tornado warnings 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@myrustygarden Oh no. I have 2 bros in TN.

Oh cool Faye I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day ❤️

@@myrustygarden thank you

🙈 I have lots of old forged tools and Gerald has some he’s had for eons (🤭🤭 he’s old). I will do a picky of the allium it has come up 👍. Have a simply awesome moving day and don’t work too hard cous 👩‍🌾

@@myrustygarden hopefully it's a tall white one. It was as big as Meadow last year, but she is growing fast. Moving in heat is better than rain but not by much 😜👍😁👌☀️

Your a good man Lee and a fab channel 👍👍

I was talking to Jason at Allotment of the Dead and he said someone did a study by putting a paint dot on snails, then taking them miles away and days later they were back. Great fricking homing snails 🤦🏼‍♀️. It has not rained here still but maybe today 🤞 or I’m out watering again it’s a good thing our water ban doesn’t include veg or flower beds. Oh lord long videos and every day 😂😂. But I get through them I don’t have a farm to look after. Glad you got to meet so many people at Malvern what fun that must have been. Put my beans out yesterday so we’ll see if they survived the slugs 🤬

@@myrustygarden I hope they survived the slugs. Jo’s Greek gigantes are being hammered, I won’t dare put mine out. That’s mad to think they can travel so far.. slimy little plant invaders. 😳 We had monsoon rain yesterday but it’s warm and very humid today. Malvern was so much fun. Lovely to meet up with others. Bit of a trek for you though to join us 😭🤗🤗

@@TheFarmyardGarden too far to drive I tell people 😂😂

Update on empty bed soon 👍. I make sure to take time to view and comment as I have my morning coffee or after dinner 🥰. I don’t sleep I think if gardening 🤣🤣. I haven’t heard from Ronald for a while but he did comment on Brian’s Garden and said Susan had the big C and he was spending all his time with her. It may sprinkle here today but with half the country already burning I think we may need a bit more than sprinkles 😭😭. No fires near us but it’s very sad 😔

@@myrustygarden Oh no sorry to hear about the fires, if I could I would waft the rain over to you, wildfires are awful, glad you are not being affected by them. Thanks for the update on Ronald and Susan, they have not had much luck over the past couple of years. Take care and keep doing that 🌧 🕺

There will be more blue skies but not another Rach so,your more important. It was again supposed to,rain her and hasn’t 😢. Put beans in yesterday let’s see how they manage against the slugs 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@myrustygarden haha thanks Ali And is it too late for me to sow some beans I got from you? It's just finding space 🫣🌱 Blooming slugs man!

Peonies have ants on them so that’s a good sign they will open soon 👍. I like my bush beans in hanging baskets and I think I’ll do Freddie’s cucamelon challenge in one. I think for you asparagus would be good in a big pot at home. You may not get loads but a few and totally worth fresh asparagus. I’ll keep my eye out for slabs as I won’t need them until later in the year p. Have an amazing weekend guys and hopefully the sunshine sticks about for a bit 🥰

It’s been awesome 😎 for a few days we actually had the bedroom window open all night it was that warm . Hopefully the storm is short lived 🤞. Did you get a chance to see the northern lights, sadly not here 😢. Gerald has tools as old as the hills but he looks after them. Hope you have an amazing Sunday and a great week ahead 👍👍

@@myrustygarden Hi Ali, the storm started at 5pm and it's just some heavy rain and thunder at the moment. The Northern Lights can be seen but only lightly. My Wife wants to see that as one of her wishes but to see it better we would have to go to Iceland or Norway. Have a great week x.

@@barryroberts6470 🤭🤭 road trip

Oh frickin dandy so no more flying slugs then 🤣🤣 what are they salmon returning to where they were born. I have never had mass slug damage on my tomatoes before, good thing I have about 20 spares. Happy gardening Jason 🧑‍🌾

@myrustygarden yep, they put little paint spots on snail shells, a lot of snails were back within 24 hours.

@@Allotment-of-the-Dead 😳😳

Welcome!! 🙏 I hope you enjoy and have an amazing day 👍

Thanks and welcome Lisa 🙏 have an amazing week ahead 👍

@@myrustygarden you’re welcome and same to you. 🤓

I struggle with justifying lettuce growth especially after your slug addition to salad 🤣🤣

@@myrustygarden I double and triple check now 🤣🤣

@@TheRightPearPlot if I remember correctly Steve from Greenside Up bless him used to have a bucket of ice cold water with some salt in it and he washed his stuff right at the plot (carried it home in the water in said bucket 🪣) it was supposed to kill things and make them float

Thank you 🙏

It awesome we as humans can still appreciate them enough to stop traffic 🥰🥰

@@myrustygarden I like the way that they assume they are in charge, and of course they are!🤣🤣🤣
