- This week seems to have brought more colour into the garden as the spring bulbs start to bloom! I show you a few new purchases, along with purchases I forgot! Since filming this video, I showed Catherine what I'd bought her, so the secret is out!
We're so close to spring, I can feel it! Is there anything starting to bloom in your garden? And are you in any way surprised I bought seeds and forgot about them?!

Karen, I enjoy ALL of your videos! Everything you do is entertaining and educational. I always learn from you. I appreciate you very much. ❤
The miracle of seeing a little green head poking out of the dirt. The simple joys are the best ones. 💜Heather
I'm not certain it's the same, but I relate to your seed passion. For me it's garden pots; never met one I didn't love. Every time I bring a new one home, my husband and neighbors tell me I might have a problem. I always humbly agree and promise this is the last one, BUT I just love a new pot, sigh...Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden AND your seed collection!
Purchasing seeds/bulbs and plants can be addictive. Only now that I'm older, I have decided to only get what I am able to care for. Last year, things were unmanageable towards the end. A beautiful or edible plant is to be enjoyed, not to become overwhelming. Have a lovely week. Thank you for posting.
Sarah Raven - A year full of flowers - it's deadly. My seed collection doubled after reading this! Be strong
I love your Beauty videos!! Thanks! Can I order some of the make up?… I am in US
How do you promote your channel please? I only have 5 subscribers and my channel has been going a year! Love your garden xxx
The bird feeder 🥹🥹🥹😅😅
So great to see you getting back enthused into the garden again. Im looking forward to seeing another year of it and see how it develops. You know it's really easy to take cuttings from the new side shoots on the verbena you'll get lots more for free 😊 just a suggestion x
You crack me up! I wonder if there’s a support group for seed buyers? 😂 Can’t wait to see your garden awaken.
I hope so!I’ll be the best attendee at that support group 😂
You need to have Catherine make divider for you box
Gosh. Everything is great and I enjoy learning. Thank you.
So relieved to see a gardening video! I managed to spend half hour in the garden today before the rain, so desperate to spend time outside 😊
I am so envious of your weather. We still have snow! No pots of bulbs outdoors here. Yours are so inspiring, yes spring is coming! please. My husband put one of those clear bird feeders on a window in our home. The bird traffic was quiet at first, but now very busy. He also has several bird feeders hanging from our trees which draw a lot of birds and squirrels and chipmunks. The window feeder is cool, if you move very slowly the birds won't fly away at your approach and it is so lovely to see their beautiful colors and shadings up close. Plus, birdy feet, how cute. Thanks for your hint of spring video today - Laurie
I love watching you, whatever content you decide to put together. I laughed when you were talking about the seeds you had already brought. So nice of you to get one of the feeders for Catherine’s birthday! So exciting to see your buds breaking ground.
I have my top dresser drawer FILLED with seeds and bulbs. Lol. Also this drawer is 30 1/4" long X 8 1/2" deep X 16" wide. And it's full......like FULL. I harvest seeds though every August, so I have those plus the seeds I buy. And don't forget bulbs. All the bulbs. Like 5 different flowers of bulbs. It's a lot. I do not care though. One day I'd love to fill an entire dresser!
Magical video Karen, love your garden videos
Thoroughly enjoyed 😌💕
You're well! Collecting seeds is a harmless addiction, so don't feel badly. Of course, I have to justify it because I have two big boxes 😂
But it's fun, and I am growing a lot from seed - but could never grow ALL of the seeds I've collected unless I moved to farm 🙄
Girl I'm not well either. I have 3, yes three, containers, like the new plastic one Catherine has, full of seeds, and I've ordered so many more seeds; flowers, veggies, and herbs lol. I. Can't. Stop. : ) At this point I need another seed storage container, and I'm ok with that. I call it investing in the future. I love the books!
I cannot wait to get Anya's book and I'm with you about pre-order anything. It's a little future treat for yourself. My window feeder thingy refused to play ball!!! It if wasn't collapsing backwards and falling onto the ground, it was doing a sucky slidy thing on its suckers down the window pane. I gave up on it.
❤❤❤I enjoy the growing season it the cold snaps in between that drive me crazy 😊 thanks for sharing 😊
ps, take a look at the Arthur Parkinson books. They're gorgeous and he does pretty much all his stuff in pots.
You could open the local chapter of SBA? Seed Buyers Anonymous.😊
Karen I try to be good with seeds but it just doesn't work!!! I haven't got my seed potatoes yet but will get them soon I have the same window bird feeder and the birds love it. The only problem is when it rains it fills up with water. The drainage holes aren't big enough, but too big and the food will fall through!. Loved the video as always x
Hi Karen, yes please, do show what seeds you have. Always interesting to see what other people grow in Ireland.
If you ever travel to Wexford, let me know cos I also have a big seed problem lol And would be more that happy to share some with you 😊
Absolutely want to see the seed video especially why you chose a variety over alternatives. Maybe split the video into flower related and veg related? Look forward to the possibility. 😊
I’m a beauty Threapist and a salon owner so the beauty isn’t my favourite as I’m around it all day but I’m happy to watch what you do , but I love all the gardening and chit chats that you do xx
Just an idea…..write or print a list of what flower seeds you have and stick it inside the lid of your seed box. Do the same for the edibles on the other side. When you want to buy more seeds, you’ll be able to see at a glance what you already have. Cheers from Australia 👍🦘
I can't wait to start my garden. I was very bold and bought a growhouse or greenhouse and can't wait to get it up and going
Seeing the bulbs coming into flower is a real spring tonic I check mine every day too I had a window bird feeder but found it collected water so now have one in a tree by my window and a water container on the window ledge I have mainly sparrows as I live in town but they are lovely to watch 😊❤
Lovely to see all the bulbs awakening, exciting time
It really is! It’s nice to look out at them every day to see what’s opening!
It is so nice to see and hear from you again 🙂 You are such a lovely person 🙂 All the best, God bless you and your loved ones 🙂❤
It's so exciting when everything comes to life after winter.
I always grow gardeners delight. So tasty.
Good morning Karen. I have humming bird feeders in front of my windows. To get the birds to come to the window feeder put seed in other places near the window. You'd be surprised how many birds you'll see. Happy bird watching. Don't forget to save your coffee for the slugs and snails. 😉
The kittens will be obsessed with that bird feeder! 😮
I sorted my seeds into sections for the months that they can be sowed - I know some can be sowed more often so will move them along into the following month I want to reseed - I just ordered 2 of these bird feeders this afternoon 🐦🐦 my grandson will love watching them - im also on the east coast (of England) in Whitby so get lots of seagulls 🥴🙄 I have a robin a couple of pigeons and lots of blackbirds and smaller birds all competing 🐦🐦⬛🪿 - there was a squirrel last year but not seen him since November 🐿️ my bulbs are finally pushing up too 🪻 hyacinth 🌷tulips and daffodils 🌼
Now that’s a great idea, organising them into months and then adding the packs to the next month for reseeding! Consider me influenced!!
It's so hard not to get carried away when visiting a garden centre. Lovely video Karen, I love both gardeny bits and beauty bits. It is so lovely to see the little green shoots pushing through the soil, looking forward to seeing your variety 😀
Those little green shoots give me so much joy!
I’m so excited for the garden this year!! 🌸🌸🌸 My goal for this year is to start adding more structure and whimsy to the garden.
I love the whimsy bits in a garden. It reminds me of a secret garden. Good luck.
@@deborahbovee9468 Yes, I love that too! Thank you so much Deb!
Please do a video of organising the big box of seeds. The satisfaction that brings me, I too am not well 😂❤
You got it!
I love Anya the Garden Fairy and how she shows us how to propagate to get more and more plants. 💚
She's amazing! She's given me so much inspiration!
Oh I’m definitely interested in what seed you have. Well I went seed and bulb shopping on Thursday. I couldn’t help but think of you as I was grabbing every seed pack of flowers that I remember you and Catherine plant. I’m surprised I remembered. lol I went a little seed crazy. Thankfully I have a walk-in greenhouse this year, yet to be put together but I have a good environment in which to plant and grow them for my planters. I’d love to see you do a beginner’s seed video showing how you plant seeds, care for and plant them in your garden or planters…including how you fertilize if you do. I love organic so any advice would be greatly appreciated…
I’m really looking forward to planting season with you this year. Oh and when do you start planting. It might be another video but I’d also like advice on what to plants you can put together. Thank you so much. Sherry, in the U.S.
Oh how gorgeous that you have a walk-in greenhouse! That will fill up soon I'm sure! And I love that you went seed shopping too!
@@Lovelygirliebits yes, I’m so excited. We are having 30 mile per hour winds today. It’s been horrible. It’s like tropical winds with the gust. So no getting it put up today. I hope when I plant seed they will come up and do well. I don’t do well with seeds. So with all I bought they better 😂 I potted my lupine. I hope I spelled that correctly. I love your’s and Catherine’s choice of plants. I’m learning what to group together. Love that y’all share that with us. Thank you.
You got enough seeds there to feed a small county😅
I just need a bigger garden to plant them all 😂
lol “I don’t know why I just smelled those” I love that. I love the earthy smell from them. I’d have definitely smelled them too. 👃🏻🥔
Always have to smell the potatoes 😂😂😂
@@Lovelygirliebits absolutely 😂😂😂
I so can relate to your seed buying teeny tiny issue…..🤣
I don't know what you're talking about 😂😂😂
Love anything you do so happy with garden and beauty stuff. All the videos are a joy .
Thank you xxx
@@Lovelygirliebits ❤️
I love your garden videos, but also I like it when you mix it up with makeup and skincare videos. Especially when we aren't in gardening season.
Loving your stash of seeds!
I probably have that many.
Karen your garden is coming along so nicely. I couldn't help laughing when you bought the same seeds you already had as I have done that many times🤣 thank you for letting us know about Sarah Raven (she has a podcast too!!). Always looking for new gardening books. I sometimes have to adapt them to my zone although this winter we've barely had any snow and it was 7 C the other day. Very weird weather indeed. Happy Sunday and good luck with your bird feeder!
You are so cute!🧚♀️ Your joy is contagious! You motivate nw ti take better care of mine 👍🙋♀️
Those feeders are the best. My brothers cat would sit on the window sill and watch the birds eat. We called it ‘cat tv’. I thought she would scare the birds off but nope!
Be mindful that if you grow your tomatoes in pots you'll have to water them more often
Oh I know from experience! I did them in pots for 3 years and last year did them in beds and allllll of them got the blight in the veg bed because it was such a wet summer! So I’d rather have the extra hassle of needing to water them more if it means I actually get a decent harvest!
@@Lovelygirliebits oh I don't blame you!
Don’t despair, it may take the wee ones a few days to find the feeder, but they’ll come. Enjoy ❤️ 🐦 😊
This is going to be awesome. Tell me why do they have expiration dates on seeds?? Wish list sure lol❤🐦 love your videos 🙏❤
You and Catherine inspired me to get a cute box for my seed collection. I can’t wait to fill it up now! 😂
Awe ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
Hi Karen I always wondered if those bird feeders would work then I saw my brother in law had one and he said yes he has a daily visit from birds so I must get one,my garden is a mess as usual the rain and such has made a mess,your garden is beautiful 😊
I haven’t seen any birds eating from my feeder yet but I’m hopefully I catch them soon!
Super cool birdfeeder❤❤❤
My name is Karen and am addicted to buying seeds 😂😂
I need a bigger garden 😂😂😂
