    The ant farm is from a UK shop called AntsHQ. They took a few weeks to ship and I was hit with a customs charge, so heads up before ordering.
    My Greenhouse, I bought this from Outdoorliving.ie in Wicklow back in 2021. It is the Heritage model and 8ft X 8ft.

    You have had other priorities this year, Catherine. It's understandable that the garden hasn't been your main focus but it's still looking lovely. You're doing great

    Catherine ❤ hello from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦. So thankful I'm a subscriber to your channel. I broke my hip and have been holed up in hospital since June 16 2024. I so miss my garden. Thankful for my daughter, who has been minding it. She video chats me every 2 days and takes me through our garden so I can see the ever changing process . She is my angel 😇I I love watching your videos, they are interesting, funny, and soul calming. Thank-you ❤

    I could watch you in the garden for hours! Sadly, I will be saying goodbye to my flower beds at the end of August, and moving into a first-floor apartment. Darn arthritis has made it very difficult to keep up with the mowing. However, I can plant in pots and will do my best to take over some ground around my patio! LOL! So, I will get my big garden fix from watching you. The pot lifter is worth every penny and more because it saves your back; whoever invented it is a genius! What do the ants make tunnels with if there isn't any soil in the container? When I was little they had soil, and you could watch the ants make tunnels through the glass.

    The red ants in Europe are completely different than our red ants aka fire ants in Florida. I got bit last year, came in from the yard felt dizzy and sick, laid down and 16 hours later I woke up. I couldn't even lift my head from pillow. Be careful if you come to Florida!

    Lol, you’ve not been on top of anything this season oh my Lord you’ve been busy! But even if you haven’t been on top of your garden, your garden is beautiful. It just kind of bloom and prosper on its own. I still want to come and sit and have a cuppa tea with you and your hot house, I love your house❤

    A poodle was my first pet because I was the middle child. I was shy and an introvert and I kinda had some health issues going on which made it even worse. Obviously, I outgrew those but to help bring me out of my shy stage. My pediatrician recommended to my parents to buy me a poodle. Poodles were more one owner specific dogs and later on way later on in life I learned that the poodles were actually more attached to my dad lol but if one of them got up underneath, something we had to, then I was the one that could get them to come out nobody else could which was interesting but they did help to, bring me out of that shy introvert stage that I was in to help with the medical issues that they were treating so poodle, a dog an animal that loves unconditionally as you very well know you have cats❤

    The pot lifter is a great investment. Gardening can be hard on your body, so don't hesitate to spend on the tools that will make the tasks easier for you.

    The potlifter is really great. Very helpful. It will prevent heavy future back pain. And that counts. Well thought and rightly bought, dear Catherine.

    Little fish, guppies were my first pet, that I didn't have to share with my siblings. My 3 kids had 11 different species of animals in the house while growing up.

    I love your greenhouse Catherine it’s like an extra room with lots of light and it looks so cosy when you light it up in the autumn. My greenhouse is a standard metal one which is used for growing tomatoes, peppers etc in the summer and to overwinter my tender plants. Things have been so slow this year in my part of the UK because of all the rain and strong cold winds. It’s been about 14c here today just crazy summer weather. Good wishes to your Mum for a speedy recovery. 🌸🤗

    Your greenhouse is a fantastic working greenhouse. Don't worry about not having the washing brush hose connection. We took ours off and use it as you are. Everything looks great.
