Hey guys!
Welcome back to my channel and to a garden update vlog. I tried to fix our shed and start some planting ahead of the warmer spring and summer months. Any tips or tricks are more than welcome!
Big love,
Luke x

Gardening is very therapeutic, and remember it doesn't have to be perfect, gardens evolve over time and constantly change, and that's the joy 😊
Be careful of Maggie with lilies as they are poisonous to dogs & cats. Gardening is hard work but worth it when you can sit & admire all your grafting xx
also please remember check plants are suitable for maggie
I would suggest you have someone draw up a simple garden design. It will give you focus on what you want in your garden. Don’t worry about finishing it the first year. Water feature made from recycled materials would be nice. Keep in mind perennials are plants that come back every year and annuals usually don’t. Just remember gardening shall be fun-relaxing and a learning experience so enjoy the journey.
Hi luke, give "DAINTY DIARY'S " a message she's was like you a novice gardener and now she does a Sunday weekly vlog on gardening..zara looks very sophisticated in here new glasses..have a great week ahead
Well done with the shed Luke. Just one thing I would consider - leaving epensivetools in a shed is not a good idea. Shed theft is a thing. Love your house even before you get the reno plans underway which sound grt by the way.
Yeah he needs cctv front and back
He does not need CCTV, just a sign nothing worth stealing in this shed! 🤗
@@JoJo-Hamilton makes no difference cctv a must , most folk have them especially in the front I disagree on that HE does need it
No he does not! Believe me...💋
Home insurance covers loss.🤗
Luke after 30 yrs in my house I’ve realised the Garden is the most rewarding room! It keeps on giving, you will make mistakes, but how do we learn without making mistakes?? Enjoy it, I think you will be a natural - however, invest in a new shed and get more of those shelves 😊
Use your used coffee grounds from your coffee machines and the egg shells in the garden, it will do wonders for your plants.
Foxes will love the eggshell 😮
@@jilleljadi5496 shouldn't be a problem when they fix up the fence and the foxes wont be able to get in,. i usually put the eggshells at the bottom of the whole when planting a plant in the ground.
THIS! YES!!! Good one 👍
Yes to both coffee and eggshells.
Move your pots out to the edge of the patio so you can see them from the house - so many lovely plants 🪴 Get familiarised with the garden (like making a new friend) over the summer and decide where you want things to go . It’s exciting to see you improving the space even more 💕
Luke Well Done. The More Gardening you Do You will Get Hooked Definitely. It's a Real Pleasure Seeing Everything Growing. The Garden Will Look Nice With Some Borders and Plants and Bulbs in. Xx 😊😘
Luke just go with the flow with gardening , trial and error your doing great!!!🎉
Pottering in the garden is sooooo satisfying!
Forgot to say Gardners World on BBC 2 Starts in 15th March with Monty Don, so inspiring to watch, So looking forward to Chelsea Flower Show, this year, Happy Gardening Luke. x
It snowed when I had my daughter in march 19th. I need to get out in the garden..xx
Luke, you did a great job on the shed. It's looking very organised and uncluttered. The nice thing about gardening is that you can always experiment, learn as you go and change what you don't like fairly easily. I think it's just about enjoying being outside and taking pride in the fact you've contributed to nature. Your mum and my little grandson share the same birthday. Happy Birthday to your mum!
Lovely video Luke, varied 😊 Good job replanting, they should all grow. Also good job on the shed, at least things are protected from the rain now 👍 Maggie was having such fun with that squeaky ball 😁 We're all looking forward to some spring and summer now, our grass is sodden and I can't walk on it yet 😞
Rather than keeping those leaves in the shed to 'dry out' and you said, I would put them outside to rot down. They are then great to compost into the soil.
Ahh I’ll move them out - thank you for the tip❤
Lukey Luke (as you are know at my house) I don't normally comment but you will SO need to replace the shed with a bigger one! The laws of homeowning and gardening are set in stone no-one EVER needs a smaller shed. Actually a shed that covers the whole width of the garden at the end is easier on the eye and once up you won't miss the ratty bit of space at the end of the garden next to the existing one.
As a professional gardener I wish you luck, may I advise is it's better to have three or five really big pots or containers for plant showstoppers and seasonal and put everything else in the ground. Plants in small pots fade quickly, dry out quicker and don't have the impact that a curated big pot group has. The Bay Tree will really reward you but make sure you put it into the bigger planter and in summer watch for the bugs that get into the fresh leaves and make them go distorted and curly, They can be safely sprayed with an organic insecticide. Best wishes Richard
I've been really looking forward to this series 😊 It's so therapeutic ❤x
So wonderful to have you open your kitchen door out to the garden. To have Maggie just walk out to her garden. No more stairs up and down to go outside.
Happy Wednesday
We’ve been buying Soundcore/Anker speakers & headphones for years now! They’re by far the best for sound quality.
We’ve also got the silicone lightning charging cables & I’d recommend these too.
With your yard, you should grow stuff you can eat like potatoes (super easy), tomatoes, etc. Then cook with what you grow 😋
Going to look lovely. Your garden..you will be sore for a few days but worth it lol. Maggie loves her ball awwww.
Luke you did an awesome job and Maggie squeaky toy was ok 😊❤have a wonderful week Zara as well😊
Love your plants, I think you need a pop of colour with your green and white, choose pollinator friendly ones x❤🇮🇪
Love listening to jazz and and puttering(or pottering) in the garden. Awe precious Maggie and her ball! Zara's glasses are lovely, and with the outfit I'm getting a sassy librarian vibes! It will be wonderful to watch all of your home and garden transformations.
Hi Luke, Zara and the gorgeous Maggie 🥰. Great video Luke. Your garden will get there just keep doing what you’re doing Luke and always good to watch some gardening shows too. You’re doing so well with your house and garden. Your dinner looked delicious 😋. Thank you for the cinema recommendation definitely going to see that I could with something funny to watch. I started to watch breathtaking but it was too sad so had to stop it. Have you watched too good to be true on channel 5? I enjoyed it. Have a lovely weekend and happy birthday to your mum she will be getting spoiled having Mother’s Day and her birthday on the same day. Mother’s Day is very early this year. Looking forward to your next video ❤️
Enjoyed seeing you in the garden like us the jobs need to be done ready for the summer
Love this Vlog, thank you Luke.
Luke, Home Bargains sell a very reasonable potting bench which you can do with to save your back. It's not in shop yet but probably will be when gardening starts and the weatherwarms up. X
You get the gardening buzz. Its so rewarding! I can't wait to get back into my garden but it's so water logged with all the rain we have had. Thank goodness for pots that you can still tend to! Can't wait to see how your garden looks in a few months. Well done Luke great work and glad you are enjoying it 🎉❤ xxx
Bless you Luke ,gardening is not easy it is tiring and hardcwork ,but well worth it ❤ nothing more inspiring than seeing your garden coming back to life, just magical ✨️we've just bought a composite shed ,not cheap ,but again worth it ,your garden will look beautiful and your house is so gorgeous, it will all look so amazing when you finish everything you want to do ,good luck my love ❤
Hi read up on where the plants will be happy before you decide. Just a tip ..
Great vlog thank you for sharing x
Great job luke
Happy birthday and happy mother day to your lovely mum on sunday luke hope she has loved day
Love your longer hair style. Love Zara new glasses. Maggie (of course) is adorable 🤗🤗👍
Oh I can’t wait for the spring/summer now Luke to see your garden bloom
Doing a great job and the shed well done 👍 very brave in that rainy weather x x
Luke enjoy the garden.👍 to the new specs for Zara.👍👍
Busy time ,lot positive areas carried out ,love the glasses ,look great😊
Good she'd repair and great plan ting.
Good job done on the shed, enjoy your gardening. Went to see Wicked Little Letters today too, really enjoyed.🐞
Really looking forward to following your gardening journey as I am really struggling with our garden
When you get your new shed, get a potting table so that you can plant ar a comfortable height
Love your vlog Luke.
You are doing a great job, I think you will really enjoy your garden when you get stuck in.
I love your taste.
Great ideas.
Look forward to watching you when you vlog.
I'm 60 and love my garden.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your life.
Lovely relaxing vlog..
I planted up my roses today too.. It was really cold out, but so satisfying to get them done.. I was thinking the same as you, not great on the back!.. Need to get a planting bench or table..😊❤
Luke you are so inspiring person! With your brightness and humble, you are so enjoying your life and that is amazing. I wish you all the best :)
Hope you don’t mind me suggesting, save broken pots to put a piece over the drainage holes in the pots then add the compost. This will still allow drainage, however, will stop the compost seeping out.
Also, scoop the leaves up in the shed and put them in a plastic pot weight down with a brick/stone and put behind the shed. The leaves will break down so you can use this next year as mulch.
I wasn’t a gardener until I bought my house back in 2009 and learnt about gardening over time and still learning. Some plants thrived others didn’t. All depends on type of soil, conditions, light and shade in the garden.
I learnt a lot from watching Gardeners World on a Friday evening with Monty Don, he has some good ideas and tips.
Look forward to seeing how your garden plans develop.
Thank you so much, that is so helpful Sally x
Hi Luke! Good job on temporarily patching up the shed roof and organizing it. Well done! Assume you guys will eventually just replace that old shed. I predict by this time next year your garden will just be absolutely lovely. Keep at it. 😉 Have a great rest of the week ahead! Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🏡🌱
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE plant some native wildflowers for the bees, butterflies and other bugs!!!🐝🪲🐞🐛🐝🦋 you could consider building or getting a compost bin for peelings and other raw food waste, (the worms will love it and they do wonders for your soil) also recommend a water collecting system that will help if we have a real hot summer ☀️
Ahh we will absolutely do this. The bees need saving as do all the other little bugs x
The pasta dish looks really good.
Lovely vlog Luke ,when I first moved to my house I just concentrated on flowers in pots,making the patio look nice and kept the grass tidy until I’d been there a year and then progressed from there ,theres no rush Luke especially as you want to change the shed gardens take time & money just like our homes ,food looked amazing btw 😊🌸🌺☘️🌿
Great video luke thank you 💙had the gold bar it was yummy 🥰
How Special to Start Your Video in your own garden listening to Birds, exciting times, And Yes we did have a Suprise Snow ❄️ Fall in Chipping Sodbury last Saturday, looked Beautiful, just to say there are lots of garden plants that are Poisonous to Dogs, We All Love ❤️ Maggie. x
Looking great you are definitely creating a lovely space and you can turn your hand to any thing if you put your mind to it ❤
Loved this video sweetheart.. nice to see a normal day in the life of ♥️. Love your enthusiasm for the garden I think you will become a very knowledgeable gardener xx once again great vlog and must say dinner looked amazing …can’t wait to see the recipe xxx♥️😘
great video Luke good job sorting the shed, plants will thrive better in bigger pots. I am just in the process of watching Breathtaking too its certainly an eye-opener to what the NHS went through during COVID-19. xxx
Great video Luke. Nice plants as well. Tell Zara her glasses look great on her. I love them. 😊🇨🇦
Well done with the shed ,totally agree with one of the comments expensive tools need to be inside the house .Sadly having being burgled twice it's heart rendering!! Please get yourself a potting table safe you'd back & knees .Fabulous job & lovely to see Maggie outside ! How did you manage in the flat ! Summer here we come with your plants ❤ x
A lovely garden to work and relax in 🍹🍹☕️☕️
Greetings Luke from the Treasure Coast of Florida. No sun here gray and cloudy. ❤😅
Soundcore makes great speakers! I have a smaller one than this and it's fab! The one you have is looks great. I will have to check out their earbuds. 😊👍 Greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦😊🏡
I don't have a garden, since we moved last year. I do miss having a garden, and being able to peg washing out. I had to leave my daffodils behind and my fuchsia.
You are doing an amazing job, Luke.Everything you have both achieved so quickly since you've moved in....amazing.Well done. I think you're going to be an excellent gardener too.❤
Hi luke great vidio I grow sunflowers every year and they grow 15 feet every one at my allotment c9ment on them just to say its a bit early to be sowing them as you cant put them out side untill the last frost you will be potting them up into bigger pots till May
I have a bay tree it was fully grown when we moved in 30ish years ago, ours like a shady or partial shady spot have nearly killed it twice moving it to a place it didn't like. Don't despair they are quite Hardy ours revived even when the leaves all fell off.
Nice to get into the garden Luke, makes you feel good when you have done all your jobs, she'd looking a lot better give it a chance to dry out, l put grit on the top of my pots, looks good and helps to keep moisture in, the plant off Iwan is called a red Robin, the common name for it anyway, your pots are looking good l am sure everything will come along nicely x
Glad you enjoyed ‘Wicked Little Letters’! I too thought it was fab… Story was set in Littlehampton (where I live) but filmed in beautiful Arundel (just up the road and Worthing!) You, Iwan and Kate should definitely visit. Lots to see as well as Ford car boot (Sunday and Thursday) its amazing and often featured on TV. Fabulous area to visit with seaside, river, castles and the downs.
How exciting! A new garden, and not one that has been loved, so it's all down to you guys now!! Our local small garden project needed a shed, after much research we went for a metal one (surprisingly light and green in colour) that was easy to erect, let me know if you need details. Loving Zara's new specs.
Just watching and wanted to say well done on fixing the roof xxx
Zara looks amazing!
Zara's glasses are so stylish. She is a walking designer specs advert.
Omg Zara your glasses look great xx
Hi luke so spring is on the way and what a great size garden you have so lovely to see your red robin doing well and maggie loves her garden too do you ever consider a garden pond with a fountain and a waterful your size garden would fit the bill it woud look great❤😊
the two red plants from iwan are red robins! new leaves as you cant tell are gorgeous bright red once in the ground they grow pretty fast and the one i had i was forever trimming to keep in shape lol if you want coverage for a fence border then they will thicken up more you trim etc x enjoying watching you learn about gardening x
Foxes can jump really high, I used to have them on my own garden. They look like small dogs but they can jump and climb like a big cat.
I have a balcony that gives me colour and bloom in the summer. In southern Ontario 🇨🇦it has been unseasonably mild. May 24th is our planting date for gardens. Woo hoo. Snow drops are up so are the green bits of daffs, and lots of pussy willow.
Hi you guys I've just come in from the garden to watch you with my lunch.
Luke plants will find there way into your trolley it's just what they do.
When you do research though some are not pet friendly.
You will surprise yourself at how quickly gardening grows!!!! On you. Once you see a section come together and thrive it spurs you on to the next and before you know it you have a well established garden.
I only have a small cottage garden but every nice day I at least spend part of my time in it. A garden is never completed as you will find yourself moving plants to new spots and introducing new ones and then come the structural items lol.
But you know what it is the best therapy just switch off and immerse yourself in your own little piece of nature and the mood is lifted.
Look forward to sharing your garden journey with you.
Zara those glasses are stunning love them .
Big hugs for Maggie xxxxx
I wouldn't no where to start either to be fair so fair play to you ❤
Gold bars are elite, in saying that i haven't had one in years. It can be my weekend treat 😂 We have them across the pond here in Ireland.
Hi luke love your new home just thought I'd let you know the two red leaf plants Mr Carrington give you are called photinia fraseri or (Red Robbin ) they thrive in a sunny part of a garden and there resilient in cold frostie weather when there settle into well drained soil if you remove the leafs with black spots they will reward you with beautiful red colours all year round there a beautiful plant 🌿 x
In case you are interested, the shrubs Iwan gave you are red tip photinias . They used to be everywhere in the South when I was growing up. My neighbor here in the Pacific Northwest has a hedge of them too.
Get a plain hardwood bench for outside, you can use it for potting plants and you can also use it as a bar and/or buffet for outdoor entertaining. Absolutely get rid of that shed, brand new kitset sheds aren't expensive and you'll spend just as much fixing the broken bits. It's much better to do it now when you're not having to empty years of accumulated stuff out of the old shed and work around established planting. I'm glad you got a bay tree, it's so nice having fresh bay leaves for cooking.
Hi Luke- no Gold bar here in New York. It’s the first time I’ve heard of them. Looks yummy, enjoy!
Luke, you are doing everything just right! I do hope you are able to soon find a way to keep the fox away for the safety of ALL of you.
One shed suggestion: I would buy one large tub that is airtight for the tool cases and other things (small motors, power tools, tool sets, etc.) 😊you want to keep dry. This will keep them safe from corrosion, and they will last longer! Keep on gardenin' pard'ner!
Hi Luke, Iwan has put a video up of a new B and M that has opened recently, plenty of gardening items featured and looks good value too !
Hi Luke congratulations on being bitten by the gardening bug! It's hard work but very rewarding when your garden is in full bloom. Take your time,it's not an overnight thing to do and as another comment suggests lock your gardening equipment away safely.
So nice having a garden to potter in and learn gardening. I think the plant that Mr Carrington gave you may be a Peony?
I really liked Wicked Little Letters too. So funny and well acted by everyone.
Haha loved wicked little letters😂 so funny
Fertilize new plants after planting. Potted plants use liquid fertilizer every few weeks
Hi luke, zara & Maggie, don't worry no one is an expert when u start gardening u learn as u go & make mistakes that's the fun part, that's a good idea about the pot feet coz slugs r a right pain when the pots r sitting on the ground, miracle grow is great plant food & so is tomato feed ur garden is gonna be great in the summer, have a great weekend lots of love to u zara & Maggie 💞💞💞
My birthday is the day before your lovely Mams on the 9th of March. It is lovely seeing develop and love gardening. I was thinking that as you and Zara must eat a lot of veggies if would make sense if you got a composter for your garden. They make wonderful free compost. Your local council may have a scheme were you can buy them. I have 3 and a wormery. I get wonderful compost. Happy Birthday Mam on the 10th.❤
Love Sara's glasses..
Thanks for the movie recommendations, am always looking for something new to watch 📺 🖥
Breathtaking, came out in NZ January, too sad 😔
Hi Luke ‘Fatsia’ is a great perennial, it’s evergreen, looks tropical and is trouble free. Good luck. Peace 🧚
Its been snowing in Seattle. Almost blizzard in some parts, but melted the next day. My niece's birthday is also March 10! She will be 15. Happy early Birthday to your Mam ❤
I'm with you I love tphe garden center! Ever since buying my house last April, I've been shopping at home improvement stores, garden centers and second hand building centers. No new clothes, but home stuff 😅
Wow, you must be a little east of Seattle towards the mountains? I am over on the Kitsap Peninsula and we haven’t had any snow except maybe one day a week or two ago we got a dusting.
Don’t leave anything ‘good’ in the shed ie tools. Unfortunately people aren’t as nice as we want them to be. Love your enthusiasm for gardening. Don’t forget to look at all the green mold on the outside corner walls of the house. Give everything a good scrub down. It’s an ongoing maintenance thing unfortunately. Home ownership is a lot of endlessly work 🤷♀️
You gave me a good chuckle when you asked if that was a mint tree. Mint does not get to be tree sized, but it will run like crazy so never, ever plant it in the ground. Don’t even put a pot of it on the ground. The roots are very hardy so keep the pot on a hard surface like a patio or deck, or at least a paving stone.
