A cosy & sunny Spring cottage garden vlog (planting, tidying & pottering) 

Hi Catherine, I didn't have a clue the first time I saw your channel that I would love you so much. I'm 80 years old and I enjoy everything you do. Your smile and giggles bring me joy and you leave me feeling uplifted after each video. You're such a sweet and pleasant young women. I believe we all have a purpose in this life and you have found yours. I think you ministry to our spirits in these hard times. Bless you dear!

You and Blondie are my ray of sunshine on a gloomy day, thank you

Hello from Yerevan, Armenia! Yes, we have a snowy winter through to end of March. Our spring begins soon when my dormant bulbs come to life. Monty is my highlight on Friday nights too, even though I have to watch him at 2am because of the time difference. I am able to purchase a VPN which allows me to enjoy every episode. What a sweet young lady you are. It is very pleasing to watch you. Thank you !

Thanks for the good cheer! It helps me balance the sadness in the world with some sanity!

As an Aussie, can definitely say I love watching Monty Don. 😊

Blondie is like an illuminating fur angel 😇

I absolutely love, love Gardener's World with Monty Don! I live in Maine and so we plant our Spring bulbs in the ground in October before the ground freezes. They come up around April or May depending on when the snow is gone. I have been enjoying your RU-vid videos.

I’m still 9weeks away from our last frost date so I’m living vicariously through RU-vid! 😭

Greetings from Seattle Washington USA! I am a zone 8b and have over 4000 tulips coming up. Our growing season is from April to November…sometimes December. I am addicted to Monty…Big Dreams Small Places, Gardener’s World, his tours of Great American, English and Italian gardens…if it has Monty in it, I am watching it via Britbox, Netflix or RU-vid 🥰

I’m in Ontario Canada zone 6 and right now we still have snow. I definitely do bulbs (tulips, daffodils, hyacinth all the usual) and we can just leave them in the ground they come back year after year, they get the cold spell they need through our winter. Our snow melts usually by March and then bulbs start Usually by April. It has been a very snowy February this year we got at least three feet of snow and very cold. I’m patiently waiting to get in the garden it won’t be long now!🌷

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada growing zone 2b/3. Spring is very short, the snow has usually melted by mid April, but the daytime temperatures are still quite cool not higher than 14C with cold winds and night temps are usually in the low single digits. Spring bulbs are crocuses, tulips and muscari, buttercups. Last frost date is typically 3rd week of May! But after that it gets warm quickly and we have lovely summers. First frost can be end of August, but usually not until mid Sept. Winter temps can be very cold, as low as -40C but there is a good snow cover so most perennials, trees, shrubs, bulbs etc survive. Every gardener faces different challenges, and I embrace every challenge Mother Nature throws at me. Gardens are constantly evolving and changing and that’s what makes it so interesting. Love your vlogs! It’s so interesting to see gardens from other parts of the world. Thank you for sharing yours ❣️

Lovely to watch your videos with my coffee in the morning. You put me in good spirits for the day xx

Hi Catherine, Oh yes please, please do more gardening video's. I find them so relaxing and calming to watch. I unfortunately dont have a garden anymore as i live in a flat so i find comfort in watching your gardening videos. I love garden's World and i have watched it for years and years. Very much looking forward to all the new spring garden videos. Have a great week Catherine. xx

New Zealand (South Island): the daffodils start coming up in August and spring bulb season would be September/October. We probably have a similar growing season to you and the goal with potatoes is to have them ready to eat at Christmas!

I’m in Melbourne and we don’t get snow and winters are a lot milder here so I don’t even pull my spring bulbs up they just go to sleep in the ground. I love spring so much because I forget where I’ve planted them so I get little surprises as they come up 🌱🌻. I watch Monty on RU-vid, he just makes gardening better😄🌱🌻🌱🌳🐛🐨

Love that you are “genuine” and just let your true personality shine! I live in Southern California, zone 10b. In the few winter months (December-March, never any snow) that we have, we don’t get much lower than the mid 40’s (Fahrenheit) at night - usually in the 50’s and during the days we are usually in the 70’s but can have days in the 80’s. Yes we can grow bulbs here and are very lucky to leave certain ones in the ground year round because of our mild weather - some that I have are gladiolus, amaryllis, bluebells, and Easter lilies. Our weather is so mild that some of these will start popping up in January! However, I know there are certain types of bulbs that need to go through a very cold period of 6-12 weeks to be able to bloom properly and can’t do that in the ground in our warm climate. Fortunately we can put them in the refrigerator for a few weeks to simulate the process. That’s why it’s always good to check the growing zone of bulbs to see how they perform in your area. I’m in my 60’s and still enjoy learning about gardening and am thrilled that my daughter has grown to love the same! 👏🏼🌺🌼🌸🥰

Here in Northeast Ohio we get Spring bulbs and plant them usually in early May. I live in Zone 5. We also will plant some bulbs in the Fall/Autumn for the following Spring. Like Daffodils and Crocuses. Next Monty Don & Gardeners World. I use to watch episodes on RU-vid or Britbox. There’s only 3 seasons on there right now. I don’t know if the episodes you’re watching on Friday is the same as what I see. Isn’t he wonderful! Like the episode I’m watching is about a Staffordshire theme park. Watching these amazing gardens sure lowers the blood pressure. Thank you for bringing you and Blondies sunshine to my day!

Oh, the site of new growth in the garden inspires the dreams of possibilities ahead

My heart is heavy, my grandson is moving states away! Thank you for replanting my feet in the ground.

It's almost time! Your green thumb is going to really pay off, & I cannot wait! I love how you always take your time, don't rush through things, & don't try to cut corners. You have the patience for gardening, & seem to know in your mind's eye how things will look when in bloom. So, soon we'll be able to see what you've envisioned, & it will be lovely! I think the pond was a great idea, too!

I live in South Australia and plant my bulbs in Autumn, which flower in Spring. I can grow most plants that grow in Europe, as we have a Mediterranean climate, as well as all the Australian native plants. Best of both worlds. It snows in the Australian Alps. In fact, our snowfields are larger than those in Switzerland. Many Australians love skiing and the snowfields in New South Wales and Victoria are very popular in winter. I love watching your vlogs and seen how you’ve transformed your home.

I live in Northern Indiana zone 5 and I just started seeds inside for my 1st time last week. I have grow lights and 3 shelves. I’ve been gardening for 30 years. I love planting flowers and veggies. Mother’s Day for most things. I want a green house like yours!!!

Hello from south Alabama USA .....love your videos sweet girl! The things on the potatoes are what we call eyes. We cut them and plant in the garden in rows. It's back breaking when you do a big garden but so worth it. We would buy cutting potatoes and cut all the eyes and then plant them. The birds sound so nice....so excited for spring! Your garden is looking pretty.

It's lovely to get out into the garden its been a beautiful day up north in England ..yes we get gardeners world I watch it on iplayer as I like to watch it back to back if possible 🙂

I'm like you Catherine, I've been on countdown since the last series finished. another wait for Friday!😀😀 It's like you say, when Monty gives us jobs for the week, we're off!! xx🌱🪴

All my daffs are out in full bloom tulips are just leaves at the minute… I hear what you say being in the garden sings to your soul I watch Monty on Friday night and then again Sunday morning 😂

Plants like humans grow toward the light. With care they will be strong and beautiful. Great job.

Hi Catherine ☘️ love your videos, you are an inspiration to us all… I just love gardening, can’t believe I’m 80 this year, can’t do what I used to,but I cannot give up.. Love my garden.. Nothing like an Irish potato 🥔 l am now just growing a few in pots, and it’s nothing like digging them up, then straight into to the saucepan for me dinner 😛😛 👍

I live in zone 6B in in the western U.S.A. We plant bulbs in October or so and mine are just now coming up. I can't wait to see them bloom after a long, cold winter. We can't safely plant in the spring here until about mid-May because of the likelihood of frost and occasionally snow. We generally have snow from November through March and sometimes even into April. I love Gardener's World and can watch it on BritBox or even RU-vid. I am addicted to British garden programs and watch any that I can find. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. It is really cute!

You've made my Monday morning (again). I have anxiety and depression and oh my goodness you lift my spirits so much (not saying "poor me" just that you have such a positive effect :) ). I feel I am repeating myself so much on your videos, but I don't think you realise how lovely you are. You are so real and personable and your videos are one big cwtch (Welsh for hug/snuggle :D ) to me, its like a good catch up with the best neighbour over a cuppa each week ;) Your garden is coming on nicely - even the grass is recovering well from the path laying and the comment of plonking in the water lily and "it sank" had me giggling (my partner in the other room said, "Ah watching Dainty again are you?" lol). Its so warming to see the changes over the seasons and your hard work coming into life. Beautiful :) And that weather... bliss! Thanks for sharing some our way across the Sea - it just gives so much 'get up and go' to do things doesn't it. Roll on more sunshine happiness!!

I live in Philadelphia PA USA and have never hear about gardeners world. Now I have to try to find it on RU-vid

I live in Iowa, zone 5. Yes! We get spring bulbs. Depending on the variety, we usually see them emerging in April and flowering later in April and into May. Our last frost date this year is April 30. It’s currently quite chilly still. We had a few “false spring” days with highs in the upper 60s. The robins are back, which everyone in this area thinks means spring has arrived. And yes….I watch Gardeners World a lot, however they are older episodes on a streaming service. We love Monte, even though our habitat is not quite the same, we learn so much!!

I live in Indiana USA and our planting season is usually mid to late March and early April. It starts getting cold in late September. We got a big snow in February but it's all melted. I am so ready to turn off the heat and open the windows. It's 36 degrees C today and sunny but it's going to drop about 20 degrees for the next few days. Our weather is so changeable during March and April. Thanks so much for sharing all your new greenery growth. It gives me hope for Spring. I wish you a happy healthy growing season. 🥰🥰

This was a lovely video, thank you. Your garden is looking great. Nothing better than a cuppa while you’re gardening. I’m always finding a little bit of muck in my gardening tea 😀xx

I watch Garden Answer on RU-vid. Which is probably why you were recommended. Gardening seems to be becoming the Global Culture

Ah Dear Blondie she knows she is a ray of sunshine just like her mum..your garden will be so beautiful looking forward to seeing this..🌷🌷🌷🥰

Thank you Catherine, can't wait to your garden in bloom 😍 I love this time of year when everything is popping up and sprouting. Your videos are a pleasure to watch xx

Zone 5, Pennsylvania, daffodils are starting to bloom this week. Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. I love Gardener's World! I watch it on RU-vid.

I live in zone 9 in Washington state. We've started to get a bit warmer temperatures (today is 54degrees) we'll be nice again tomorrow (Monday) but then we're back to showers and cooler temperatures. Since you've inspired me to get outside and get some gardening going, yesterday I planted 40 Dutch Iris bulbs and 6 phlox bulbs! I still have 18 Ranunculus bulbs to set out, but that will have to wait for a little while. I have tulips and daffodils sprouted, but no flowers just yet. I haven't planted any crocus bulbs, yet I have a volunteer army of them in one flower bed and another group starting across the yard! Such a pretty sight! I admire your get up and go and your joy of your garden...it's certainly contagious! Have a lovely week!

I’m in Vermont, USA and it’s zone 5a so we usually see daffodils coming up in April and Tulips in early to mid May (unless the squirrels get to them first!) Snow is gone for right now but we usually get another late storm in April… I can’t wait for garden season! I watch Monty Don on RU-vid. Love it. I used to live in England for a little bit and miss all of the British shows!

Hello from northeast USA! We have four seasons. Spring is usually rainy season, high winds, still chilly...very odd temps. It is usually starts getting warmer, like 40 F degrees in late March, but can tease and torment you with certain days going up to low-mid 60 F.....followed by a week of low teens and another 2-3 ft. of snow! You plant your early spring bulbs in October...and pray they make it! Spring rains usually arrive in late March or early April...but you can STILL get odd snow flurries all the way thru into early May! (Our tornado season usually starts late March and can pop-up all thru spring, summer and fall!) Most gardening seasons begin in April with Spring flowers, gusty winds and gentle rains or windy thunderstorms. May is usually blooming flowers everywhere, high pollen counts and blossoming trees with temps 60-70s. Most folks plant veggies and flowers at end of May. June and July are farmers markets, fresh veggies, lovely corn, watermelon...great time to harvest tomatoes, beans, peppers cucumbers, zucchini etc. Most country people start freezing and canning. June, July, August are hottest summer months with temps in 80-102F degrees! Time for sunscreen, cold drinks, shade, wind and central air conditioning! Picnics, family parties, pools, vacation travel, local carnivals and fairs, boating, fishing, swimming...all happen June thru August. It is also time to pick blueberries, wild raspberries, elderberries and enjoy fresh strawberries with cake and whipped cream! Fall tree colors arrive late August, early September, with "sweater weather" in high 50s F to low 30s! This is when most gardens are done, so you "put them to bed" cleaning up, adding fertilizer, a top covering of chopped up leaves as a blanket around bulbs, bushes. Some gardeners use newspapers as a layer of frost protection, then mow over their leaves in yard, gather that up and put it on top of newspaper lining, water it down, might add dirt and rocks to hold it all down from high winds. October has cornstalks, apples, sunflowers, mums and pumpkins to buy for decor and to make pies! Fairs with gorgous mums, zinnas and dahlias bouquets and lovely fall floral bouquets to use for fall decor. The trees shed their hickory and black walnuts and squirrels abound, collecting acorns to bury for winter. Hunting season begins in November for rural areas, with deer venison and wild turkey in many freezers.Snow flurries and cold nights can come as early as late October, with definitely daily snowstorms by most of November. The snowy, cold gray winter months run from November thru to early April, usually. SOMETIMES March surprises,turning warmer temps by mid-month. There are family garden centers and large store chains like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart...that all sell bulbs, plants, seeds...all garden needs. You can also order from catalogs...or buy seedlings, bulbs, young plants, at weekly farmers markets in Spring, Summer and Fall. This week of early March was as follows: Mon-Tues was heavy drenching rainstorms followed by dropping temps into nightly low 20s, which made all streets ice covered. Weds. was rainy, but in mid-40s F. Thurs-Fri. was in low to mid 60sF with beautiful sun-kissed days! Sat-Sun was rain turning into...SNOW FLURRIES, high winds, nightly in low teens! What I dubbed..."A five-blankets night!" Yep...waiting for Spring! Thanks to your vlog...I am feeling "hopeful" Spring will arrive in 1-2 weeks...I hear birds chirping...I am going to try dahlias this year, bought a bouquet in early fall...so lovely...I decided I would try growing them this year!

I love Gardener’s World! I watch it all the time but it’s not as important to stay up to date as I’m in the Southern Hemisphere. I live in Castlemaine, Victoria which is growing zone 7. We definitely plant bulbs in my village and all the surrounding areas. ❤️

I'm in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and I have to use RU-vid to get GW. Your Friday is our Saturday, so I watch the video on Sunday morning with my breakfast. I'm also in autumn now, so it's the opposite. I usually watch a 'season' of GW twice so I can follow it in my own spring-summer-fall and then enjoy the new season when it comes on. :) Sometimes, I watch seasons from years ago now. For my garden, I'm mostly still doing infrastructure. It's a long term process of removing debris, weeds, and invasive plants, then building pathways, patios, decks, railings, fences, and so on. Then building soil and then planting. So, most of my garden is in pots. I buy very young plants, or get cuttings or divisions, or grow from seed -- and I pot them up and up so that when the place I want them in the garden is ready, I can plant them in. Until then, I enjoy them in their pots, but my garden looks a fright. I have a monthly plan for my garden, and now that it's autumn, I am doing the potting up, and continuing on the infrastructure projects and weeding. In late autumn and winter, I'll be doing more transplanting, now that I have mature enough plants and it'll be the right time for some of them to be transplanted.

Where I am in Canada we've got about 5 feet of snow still , and our average temp for this week is -20C. The snow will hopefully melt by end of April/beginning of May but I don't usually do any spring gardening. My neighbours tulips usually spring up around that time though. Our growing season is quite short, normally from the end of may to the end of September. Our 'transition seasons' of spring and fall are very quick and aren't usually very defined seasons, we essentially have long winters with snow sometimes starting in October and lasting until May (again, depending on the amount of snow), and 3 months of a good hot summer. I'd love to move somewhere that has more defined seasons though, being cooped up during these long winters make me crave the sunshine that spring has :)

Like you I love being in the garden and watching thing grow in love the spring and summer

In Australia in autumn there is no snow. We plant spring bulbs late winter so July/august so they will flower in Spring. Some areas of NSW get snow in July. Sometimes it’s not much , sometimes a lot. It’s march and the east coast of Australia has had nothing but rain for two weeks. Everything is being washed away. Two more weeks of rain is due. It’s unusual and depressing.

I live in the southern US and I know that my Dad keeps the bulbs in the fridge/freezer for awhile to simulate winter before planting them 😊

Bless you Catherine 🥰

Your garden videos make me so happy ☺️

Blondie looking into the window so cute.

Salem, waiting for the flowers in your garden❤❤❤😘😊thank you for the video.

Hi hon! Ottawa, Canada , zone 5…still much snow here although we had a good melt today. We have great spring bulbs but they won’t pop up for a bit. Still too much snow. We’ll see them in April. The long weekend in May is when we do the bulk of our planting, annuals, vegetables, etc. Our season is shorter than yours. Most of my veg garden is harvested by September , parsnips, carrots, pumpkins last a little longer. In October we pull out out tubers (like Dahlias) for storage, plant spring bulbs and do a clean up. Snow flurries come and go starting in October. We don’t normally get snow that stays until December but it can be earlier. The earliest I can remember was Oct 14 one year. As you can imagine, we love spring!! Love Monty Don! I don’t watch TV but I have watched him on Netflix and You Tube and follow him on Insta. Thanks for the early spring inspo. You do a lovely job on the channel. I enjoy watching you very much. Cheeky thumbs up from Canada!

Hello there! I'm in Colorado, U.S., growing zone 4b so we plant all of our spring bulbs before the ground freezes in the autumn. Yes, we still have snow..in fact it's snowing now. My spring bulbs started coming up last week as it go to 70 degrees but they will be fine. My frost free date is not.until mid to late May at which time I can plant annuals so between now and.then, I start my spring cleanup on the nicer days even if more snow is coming. I love watching your videos and really enjoyed the little table.redo! Love the runner and pink items! Thanks for being here.

Lovely garden to sit and have your tea or coffee

I love your videos...You have the sweetest voice! Ireland is my favorite place . I've been there several times! I live in the southern United States in North Carolina, in an old town called New Bern. It's on the East Coast along the Atlantic Ocean. We have a mild climate. My daffodills have been blooming since mid February. I have lots of panseys which grow all winter here. I also have a little woodland gardening which I love decorating.

I haven’t had access to Gardener’s World ( I am VERY aware of Monty) but I do have a temporary access to Britbox so I will look for it there and on UTube! 😊 I live in Seacoast NH, USA. We are still experiencing weather that is sometimes too cold and a day or so of warmer temps in the 40s or 50s. The ground is still rather frozen so no gardening can be done as yet. We are considered a Zone 6a here. Our falls can last deep into November. Sometimes snow comes at the beginning of December or after, around Christmastime. My 70 year old body requires I wait until it is reasonably warm outside before I can begin my spring cleanup. I will be starting a few seeds inside a week or so, also grass seed outside! It is a difficult time of year as looking through catalogs becomes old at this point. We ALL, gardeners that is, are anxious to be OUTSIDE! Thank You for always lifting my spirits 😊🤗🌷

My Irish granny used to fill a jelly jar 3/4 full with water, cut a thin slice off end of potato, stick toothpicks on all sides of potato, then submerge its "white bottom" into te water, while toothpicks kept rest of potato above water. She kept those jars on a sunny kitchen window sill. It grew "eyes", then took to growing roots quickly....she would put the heavily rooted potato in the early Spring garden...and potatoes grew quickly.

I’m in Vermont, USA, and we have a 5th season that we call “mud season”. In late March through April we have massive melts with occasional snow storms and muddy roads everywhere! By April we have spring bulbs coming up, and they live for about as long as other zones I’ve lived in. BUT, I have lived in warmer zones and didn’t realize hydrangea and butterfly bush can live for super long in climates like Vermont due to the cooler weather! 😍

Love your green house !!!

Your garden it’s looking beautiful with all your new flower growing…🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌿🌿🌱🌿🌱😋🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💕💕💕👌👌👌

Love your small yard. ❤

Thanks so much dear for the cheer up. I got no garden, so I enjoy yours vicariously through your videos,while adding more house plants. Your garden is becoming more lovely. I am already excited with anticipation for the different blooming phases. I have seen snowbells, primrose and common daisies here in Vienna.

I watch Monty Don on a PBS station which is public broadcasting in the states . I also watch him on RU-vid. I myself live on Vancouver Island which is on the West coast of Canada. We are a gardening zone 8a. Usually I plant spring bulbs in the fall, plant Dahlias and Gladiolus around the end of April. Our temperature today was 8’C. I have Daffodils, Snow Drops coming up and all my shrubs and trees are getting buds . Good luck with your garden! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💜💜💜

I'm in NZ and I just planted the first of my spring bulbs (all outside). I sometimes watch old episodes of Garden's World on You Tube. I also needed a break from the news so I spending heaps of time in the garden.

I love Gardener’s World. I can only watch a couple of past seasons on Britbox. I turn it in when stressed and it just calms me.

Love love your videos I’ve been watching you for 3 years now ! Watch you grow and decorate your beautiful home you inspired me to go with the shabby chic decor in my living room and bedroom and my granddaughter loves it in her room as well! I’m from North Carolina US ! It’s crazy here these days got a bad president here I just keep my faith and move on ! Decorating keeps my mine off how this are in the world now days your videos help as well ! I have a white cat he has a gray spot on his head his name is Casper . Your garden is beautiful

Catherine, you are so refreshing! Your videos are a bright spot in my week. I live in central Wisconsin and in zone 4 - we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground and freezing temps. Our daffodils/tulips will not appear until early May. I'm chomping at the bit to get a day like you have for gardening! Just a comment on your doves - they coo, and potatoes have "eyes."

I live in BC, Canada (Zone 8b). Tulips just starting to come up now. The garden is just waking up. :)

I just found your channel, and I have to say two things...this is the most wholesome and charming channel, and...you are so brave for doing yardwork while wearing white!

"The hug I need"...YES! My flowers give me that as well. Here in Jasper, Tennessee USA, the weather is warm and beautiful. It was so cold 2 weeks ago. We are zone 7. Our snow usually happens in Jan. and Feb., but we've had snow in Apr.

Still a bit chilly here, but I noticed that my Narcissus is coming up!! No buds yet, though!!❤️ (Growing zone 6- spring bulbs, yes. But they say not to plant in the ground until mid-May!)🌻

Thank you for another video.💐🥕

I’m technically zone 1 in Northern Canada (Labrador), however the past few years it has been warmer and I feel like we can grow things that are up to Zone 3 with lots of attention and prayers lol. My spring bulbs appear around May usually. I start flower seeds inside around this time of year…it definitely helps with the long winter season.

I'm in New Brunswick, Canada. I have tulip bulbs that come up in May/June...if the deer don't eat them. I do my veggies inside from seed early April. I watch Gardener's World on RU-vid or I watched Monty Don a few years ago on Netflix. I was sick for like a whole week and he helped me get through that rough week. He got me started wanting to work in our yard. I just really enjoy your videos. Makes me so ready to get outside...it is snowing and raining here today, but it is plus 1. Thanks for the extra videos...LOVE them!!!

Hi Catherine, Thank you for another beautiful that made me smile. I live in Ontario Canada, about an hour and a half north of Toronto. I’m zone 5B and yes we still have a few feet of snow! About 5cm more just yesterday! I’m so sick of it! It takes forever to leave! I do still plant bulbs but I do it in the fall (October/November) because it’s too hard to work the ground in the spring. Our rule of thumb is to not plant any annuals until the May 24 long weekend. It’s not until then that the risk of frost is truly gone. It’s a long painful wait!!! Our growing season usually lasts into October, but the last few years I’ve had a few thing until November. Typically it snows or freezes rain for Halloween. Our season is so short☹️. I’ve got my eye on a small Hartely greenhouse…it’s on my bucket list! Anyway, thanks again for the video, I wish we could “hang” and have a cup of tea together!

Hello!! To answer your zone questions...I live in New Jersey, USA. I have in my poor flower beds little sprouts of daffodils and a sprouts of my hyacinth. My crocus should be presenting themselves very soon. We have an exceptional day today, it's 63°! Very warm and unusual for this time of year. We typically still are in the 40°s, but very little snow this year. Be well, lovely yard and gardens you have!! 💜💛

We have longer winter in Canada. We have spring bulb flowers sometime in June. Growing season is 3-4 month. Last year we had a nice long autumn. I like to watch Laura from garden answer on you tube. As well as Justin Rhodes family clogs on you tube and bunch of other homesteaders. Informative and wholesome shows.

Oh my gosh I laughed so much, love the energy! And the greenhouse !! So dreamy :)

We had a fairly warm today which brings tornadoes. We have a safe room. We were building a bench along one wall with storage for emergency supplies. Then I painted the room. Padded the bench seat, added a couple of comfy chairs and a little table and of course a comfy kitty bed. It will make it nicer not to feel like a tomb. Our daffodils, flowering pear and tulip trees are blooming and the weather is going to turn off brutally cold at the end of the week here in SW Arkansas. 🌺❤🌺

Honey you can cut the eyes apart and let them dry a few days now and plant them.also with all the potatoes you have on your window seal and if you plant them all you will be able to feed a small army. I’ve grown potatoes for 50 years and a lot of potatoes can be cut into at least 2 pieces and sometimes a lot more as long as there’s 1 grow eye (were the roots are forming) they should grow like weeds. Good luck I’m loving your garden updates.

Australia, yep we get spring bulbs! Love them

We just bought our peat pots and will plant tomatoes , peppers and some flower seeds tomorrow… we are still around 30’ but the frost is out of the soil so that is good news! We had a brutal winter here ; a few days in January at -24’😩 very anxious for Spring 🥰

I live in Hawaii. I planted sunflower seeds 2 weeks ago and they are popping up. I am so excited. We will be visiting Ireland in May.

I live in Iowa in the US, zone 5. There is still snow on the ground right now but it usually thaws just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Bulbs bloom just in time for Easter. Planting is safe the first Sunday after Mother's Day!

Newfoundland in Eastern Canada here. We still have snow. Tulips and daffodils start coming up in May-early June and we typically have nice autumn weather until the end of October. So it's definitely a shorter growing season!! So envious of your beautiful climate in Ireland.

Yes we love Monty Don here in Northern California! I’m currently listening to his book on Audible “ Down To Earth”. I just love watching your channel Catherine so much! My Great grandma was from Dublin and I feel connected to her when I watch your channel. My daughter and I hope to visit Ireland again soon! ☘️❤️😊

I’m in Canada and our ‘planting’ time for summer is May after all danger of frost has past. We plant all of our spring bulbs in the fall and they’re actually starting to come up now. I do seed starting in my basement for some things but almost anything can be found at local nurseries or mail order or big box stores, Home Depot etc. Our summers can be really hot, over 40 at some point in the summer so our gardens are pretty amazing, just a shorter season.

I live in the Montreal area and yes we get bulbs, we get them around the end of April. Usually the snow is pretty much gone in mid April. The bulbs do not stay long because summer comes really quick. One day it is Spring and the week following the grass has grown and the bulbs are too hot and wilt. We get a beautiful Autumn and it stays until the start of November. We had a beautiful Winter with lots of snow and not too much Ice.. The skiers were very happy. This week it is Spring Break in Montreal and lots of people are at the ski hill up north. Have a great day enjoy your garden wish I were there….

I truly love your videos and they motivate me greatly. Thank you 💕 In response to one of your questions, I live in remote Victoria Australia. Our place is in the high country area and I have flowers on my pumpkin plants at the moment and my other family members who live 2 hours away have already had their pumpkins grow and have given us some to eat. In the respect to your question on bulbs, I have often seen them flower in Melbourne in the later winter months (July, August) and for us we get the same bulbs in November (approximately). Bulbs are fantastic for putting up with harsh conditions. My love to you for your pure gentle amazingness ❤👵🏻

Hi, I'm in Wisconsin, we plant our bulbs from October to November, and some start coming up in March April, like crocus, snowdrops, tulips starting arriving April all the way to May some still come early June then done.I have Britbox so watch gardeners world that way, love that show. Your bulbs are coming up great. Love Blonde's glow, she so cool. Take care Catherine.

Loved watching your jobs!

Ahhh Catherine, what a lovely little bonus video. I wasn't expecting it, which made it all the more welcome. Have a lovely week yaself x

Morning Great to see you again love 💗 to listen to the birds they are gorgeous! Your garden is gorgeous

I'm thrilled to see you using grow bags! I started with them 2 years ago and now the majority of my edibles are in grow bags. And my variety of veggies & herbs has grown substantially! Strawberry & potato grow bags are the bomb! I've had the best tomatoes, peppers & lettuces since I've been growing in grow bags.

I love your gardening videos its my happy place 💕. Can't wait for gardens world it's one of my favourite programs it's so relaxing as your gardening videos x Have a lovely week xx

In the part of the US where I am from, when our potatoes start to sprout we say that they are going to seed. I just love your videos!

I think I'm in zone 5 in Central Illinois. I usually wait until Mother's Day weekend to do any planting. My old tulips and daffodils come up in early April. (It really depends on the amount of snow we've had.) We usually don't get snow until late November on. This year we had 2 or 3 "big snows" around 8 inches, one snow may have been as much as 1 foot. It melts soon enough and then we get another snow. We also get rain, which helps the snow melt quickly. Our weather has been weird this early Spring. Example: yesterday was a high of 70 degrees but today is a high of 45 and tomorrow they predict 36... In Illinois, they say, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute, it might change"... HAHA

Shout out to you from Iowa in the US. I have bumped up against your vlogs a few times while binging Gardeners World and Carol Kline... Watching you is like seeing the 20yo version of myself so now you have become the newest goto for my garden vouerism. Iowa just had its second to last Snow on Wednesday (yup - its march here) and I only just finished digging my creek out! So Im watching you while I wait for the cold blast to melt away! - Thanks for your bright cheer-iness. You are simple adorable

Greetings from Finland and I'm living in the Southern Finland and we do have usually less snow at this time, but now garden is covered 40cm deep of snow. And some new snow fall down today. Daffodils and most other bulbs bloom between April and May. Tempatures goes between +5 to - 10c. Snow will melt fast when it's the time. Dahlias aren't hardy in here, need to store in cool place over wintertime. I would like to do all those things that you do, but have to wait a bit and cut down some huge birch trees. Our garden is old but we have living here 1,5 years. You have such a sweet vlog. ❤️
