Great episode. Everyone is going to comment on your shed and plantings, but I want to comment on how impressed I am with the way you run your channel. Yes, you've absolutely got amazing content, but I think I'm even more impressed by your level of engagement with your viewers. There are so many RU-vidrs who don't take the time to acknowledge comments with a simple heart (which you always do), but you go a step further and try to leave replies to almost everyone. When you're getting hundreds of comments, that's a massive time commitment. Just wanted you to know I so appreciate the extra effort. It's really impressive and rare I think it's one of the reasons why your channel will continue to grow. Hope you have a great week. Cheers!

You are an inspiration to us all, showing us what can be done if we put in a bit of effort, to appreciate our efforts and to reep its rewrds. You inspire us to leave our comfort zones and try new things and not to take it to heart if a project doesn’t turn out quite as it should. You encourage us to have a go and learn new skills. This is one of many reasons why I love your channel. xx

New yard, or what I call rock quarry. We bought a boat load of flower pots, now to carve out a bit of paradise. Most of the 2 acres is wild but cleared, only a small potion fenced in back yard, and at 68 that's good enough for this old lady. I want a pretty place to enjoy wildlife and garden. I'm planting my potatoes today. Tornadoes tonight so if you find potatoes in your yard they came from my house ha! 🌺❤🌺

@maryohare4141 2 года назад

Catherine, I wanted to mention....when I go thrifting at yard sales, charity shops and thrift stores...I look thruout all sizes, looking not only for dresses my size, but to look at clothing as "material" and check beautiful buttons, lacy collars, etc. A beautiful outdated dress or something too big...can be made into a smaller skirt, some pillows, a little tablecloth, or just bits and pieces saved for stuffed fabric hearts or sachets hung on a door knob by a dainty ribbon, etc. I have a large glass jar of beautiful buttons I "rescued" from thrifted or gifted clothes. I gently rip out stitched in lacy collars on too worn clothes, attached them to white poster border with a few stitches, then stack them in a pretty hatbox. If a dress, blouse or sweater needs "a little something extra" I go look at my "stash" of beautiful "rescued" collars!

Catherine well done on fixing your garden shed to make it more efficient. Love the grow bags for your potatoes and hope you get a good crop. My dad was the best gardener. When we stationed in England he had the best veg garden and the new potatoes were so wonderful . Everything was delish. You got a lot of stuff done. Deserving of refreshments now. Have a beautiful week. Blonde stays so white and beautiful. 🍀🤗😘💐🌹🌷🌻🌼🌸🌺🥔🥔🐝🐝

@karinjudge7277 2 года назад

I live in central Iowa. We call the part of the potato that sprouts. The "eye". And we cut a section around each eye and plant that part. You might get 3 plants out of one potato. After we section off each eye part we leave them to dry or scab over for a few days. Then we plant them. Letting them dry or scab over helps them not to rot in the ground. Love planting potatoes ! Good job Katherine !

Woot woot! You uploaded! What a wonderful reward for all my hard work in the garden! I've mowed the lawn and done the edges, mulched the garden in front of my front fence, replanted about 40 jonquils and completely weeded the front garden bed. I'm gonna repot some plants later on and spray my garden furniture and the porch and back deck for spiders. It's autumn here, and a perfect day to be in the garden. We say in Australia to plant sweet peas on St Patrick's day, but like you, i was 2 days late doing that. Thank you so much for inspiring me!

Hi Catherine, I have grown spuds twice once in a 5 gallon bucket and once in ground, both did well like 12 spuds in bucket and 12 in ground also. I like trying new planting experiments. I was so glad to see Gardeners World back on. Blonde getting her sun treatment in pot of soil, so adorable. Take care.

On the end of your brackets...you could go to craft or thrift stores...find cute little wooden, iron or ceramic garden birds, bunnies, squirrels...and super glue them to ends of brackets to keep things from slipping off.

@nuttienattie1 2 года назад

Great shed organising. Bend the end of the brackets up with some plyers to stop the tools falling off, thats what I did. You may need your brothers help with that though. Your so inspirational xx

An idea for hanging tools on the shed wall is using the racks that hold bicycles or hoses. We use these and they hold quite a bit of tools and they are nice and sturdy. Good luck!

@zeetalzee5582 2 года назад

It is autumn here. I laid a patio (with gaps between pavers for planting creeping thyme); picked up divided alstroemeria from the garden swap; cleared out all the summer annuals that have gone over; planted out the spider plant babies so they can get roots over the next few months; and swept up and put the leaves into container to add to compost (as 'brown'). There's where I am at the moment.

@DaintyDiaries 2 года назад

Aw i love the sound of you patio!

@kristineprice2722 2 года назад

Looking good Charlotte, in my shed I put a shelf on the back wall to keep garden bottles etc up out of the way Sometimes I’ve put a rail across too and hung my prepped hanging baskets till may then hang outside What have I been upto… well hubbys taken poorly as we were mid way making a summer house, so it’s erected and painted, so I got stuck in and insulated, cladded in ship clad, as better quality, no dropping out of knots so won’t look like a colinder later on, I’ve tan out of batons for the last part of the roof so will finish tomorrow I even bought myself a table saw as my arms ached sawing each piece! Sooo enjoyed that bit, much easier, really chuffed I’ve made the effort, I’d love to now make a boxed corner seating to sit and store my stuff but don’t think I could make those? But watch this space 💖

@judyshort38 2 года назад

When I owned a property in Ohio, I had 20 flower beds and enjoyed them all. Was retired so had plenty of time. I also had planted flowering pear trees and a river birch and had a small pond. Unfortunately, when someone else bought the property, which was a duplex, they wanted to rent it out so they removed the pond, the trees and all of the flower beds and shrubs. So sad. But now I live with my daughter in Ohio and she made me a raised flower bed so I could continue to garden. My back is pretty gone so bending is very hard on me. I am getting ready to supplement the old soil that is in the bed with some compost and Mr. Earth fertilizer for buds and blooms. Fingers crossed. lol I plant annuals in this bed and have used seeds and plants. I don't have a lot of patience and since our growing season is only about 150 days, I am using plants instead of seeds. I love your energy and hearing what you are doing in the garden and, of course, seeing Blondie! Such a sweety. Good luck on your gardening.

Another way to put a stopper on those brackets is by using a bolt. You buy two nuts per bolt, and use the nuts to pinch the bracket, and that way you can adjust the bolt as needed to keep your stuff from sliding off without being too tall or short.

Tell you what I find useful in a shed is (other places too really) one of those plastic hanging shoe storage thingies! Put it on the inside of your shed door and it's great for secateurs, trowels, labels twine etc. All those little bits you want/need in your shed but, you can never find. The clear ones are best for the shed. I use them also for putting on the back of cupboard doors for gloves hats scarves etc. You have a different stance this time compared to your "spider stance" in the first spring clean. 😉

@christinahutchison3967 2 года назад

I found this video very interesting. In America when we plant potatoes we let them sprout is you did. However after they sprout we would cut the potatoes into sections containing one sprout or chit As you call them and then let them sit for a day for the cut edges to dry and then we would plant them in shallow beds and he’ll the soil up around the foliage as they grew to encourage more root growth which interns increases the amount of potatoes we would be able to harvest.

I want to get outside and rake the old leaves dig circles around my hydrangea and give them some plant food. I think the heuchera made it through the winter. I will need to mulch as well. The front of my yard needs trimming up as well. So much to do. I loved hearing the sound of that sweet bird. Oh, here it is the first day of spring.
