Hey guys!
I hope you are all doing well. Welcome back to my channel and to a little garden update. Whilst the garden project isn't fully underway, I thought I would give you an update as to where we are so far.
I hope you enjoy.
Big love,

Luke you really do deserve the support and love you get,because you are one lovely human!!! Your big warm heart,humor,your joy,just by being you💖💞🫂Never stop being who you are!!! Warm hugs to you all💝
Do not apologize for talking about running your marathon. It requires a lot of dedication, discipline, and courage to put in the hours required to train, run, and recover. I know. I've run three. I was 50 years old when I ran my first. Congratulations, Luke. Your family and friends are especially proud of you. Stick your chest out and strut like a peacock. You deserve it!
You want to line the planter with a weed barrier & put small stones or gravel in the base. Lining with plastic will retain the water & will get water logged & kill the plants.
I think some times when people plan out vlogs they don’t realise how enjoyable the unplanned ones are. So lovely just to go along with you as you go about your day to day ❤
Agreed! 😊
It is so enjoyable to watch your spontaneous videos. It is real life. 😊
Luke you can talk about the Marathon as much as you want , we are all so so proud of you ❤. There’s nothing like having a garden and outdoor space - I know you and Zara will make it amazing 🤩
Well done Luke your garden looks lovely coming together nicely those planters are amazing deffo gonna get some. It’s nice to be able to do your own garden and enjoy the rewards 🤗 much more satisfying
Garden is looking great. You need to treat your chairs with linseed or teak oil to feed and protect the wood. It will also help them match the table more. Hope Zara is feeling better and your feet/knees are on the mend.
Things don’t have to match.
Luke, so well done for completing the marathon. Be proud of yourself!! 😊😊
Be careful when buying garden tools, the inexpensive ones can be a false economy, they are not robust, I've discovered this to my cost! Take out a few of the lower branches of you big conifer, this will tidy it up and highlight the stones underneath, I saw Chris Beardshaw (famous gardener) do it on TV, what a difference it made. Happy gardening!
Yes good advice. ❤
I've had secateurs, garden spade and numerous other garden items from Homebargains, still going strong 3 yrs later , there are some good bargains to be had in this world lol 😂😂
The chairs Mr. Carrington found for you are so nice, saved you hundreds of pounds.
The planter box is very nice. Maybe if you ever redo it, you could use landscape fabric at the bottom. I would be just a little concerned about the runoff water staining your patio tiles from the soil because the planter and pots are sitting directly on the tiles, but it looks very pretty there. And, if you do start having issues, you can buy pot feet to lift the pots up a bit and maybe some bricks to lift the planter. Your outdoor table seems very nice! I hope Zara is feeling better by now.
You absolutely deserve all the love and support you're getting from your RUclips family Luke❣❣❣ So glad you're feeling a bit more like yourself~ Enjoy your weekend!! 😊 Joan
You can grow plants under a fir tree you just need to do a lot of research and plant the right things. I moved into my house 8 years ago and there was fir tree in the corner with a big dead garden under it (nothing but weeds and fir needles) and a gardener friend told me to get the tree chopped down. But it provided so much privacy I just couldn't so I did a load of research, threw a load of compost under it, planted hostas and ferns and violets and heuchera and azaelea and helebore and spider plants and every spring I add more compost and plant a load of impatiens and begonias. It is the most lush colorful area of my garden now and I adore it. Maybe just remove a few of the lowest limbs on yours to give any underplanting a bit of space.
Your videos are a must watch as part of my relaxing Sunday morning routine. You give me motivation & so much inspiration. Your Graduation video popped up on You Tube from 4 years ago. You've achieved so much already. You're such a beautiful person. I love following your videos with Zara & Maggie. It's always a bonus to see your Mam too. Sending you so much love ❤x
The wooden planter needs to be lined completely, not just the bottom Luke. I'm loving the patio area! :)
Yes with some holes for drainage 😊
Luke you are so genuine and down to earth. Sometimes when you tube channels grow they become more about advertising and grabbing the latest thing which is out of many peoples reach, wants and desires. You keep things so real and affordable and your content is just so normal, so relatable. You are honest about everything and Zara is the same too. Love your channel so calming and lovely to watch and learn from ! Deb x
Hi Luke you do deserve the support. You give a lot to others. Peace 🧚
Luke you are doing a good job in the garden it will be amazing take your time and it’ll be amazing .👍
Lovely vlog, thank you Luke ❤ And you really really do deserve the support, you give so much of yourself to others, you are kind, caring and thoughtful, a lovely person! I love pottering in the garden, it's really therapeutic. Gardens are forever changing, they're an ongoing project 😊
Very proud you did the marathon and the money you raised was great, lovely to see you getting the garden sorted xx
Watching you take part and run in the Marathon is probably the best thing that I have watched from someone on RUclips. It was an emotional watch and was so pleased to see you cross the finish line, an epic accomplishment. I think I can truly say that you are one of the most genuine and loveliest people I have become to know. x
I would take out the plastic and use a proper liner such as Hessian, plus stand the planter on small wooden blocks to raise it off the slabs and encourage proper drainage, your plants will appreciate it, it won't take 5 mins to empty and redo it, also Bunny Guinness does not advocate using stones in the base as the soil dries out quicker. 🤗
Well done Luke,🎉😂garden is looking great.hope you and Zara will feel better soon.❤🤗❤😁🤗
Would be a good idea to top the conifer to keep the height down. Nothing will grow under conifers so a good idea to put slate down. Cotswold stone is expensive so wood bark may be another option? With a sore knee the worst thing you could do is digging in the garden, take it easy.
Thanks for not leaving us without a video, love your loyality and honesty….on the other hand: you too have the full right to sometimes skip , so cool you did the marathon
Re that connifer/fur, i think it would be a good idea to take the lower branches off with a lopper or saw, it'll let the light through, and give a sense of space. It IS a good idea to prune and shape them, and is also nice for neighbours hecause theyre stuck with a tree they havent chosen too, with all the needles dropping etc. I only say it because i had them, amd have lived with neighbours trees too.
Deff. Chop lower branches off. ❤❤❤❤❤
Garden look8ng great luke i would get four bricks and raise your planter because they will rot at at bottom really quick, the big fir tree you can cut loads of branches from the bottom its called lifting the skirt it will look great. Take care
Hi Luke. Your garden is coming along nicely. I suggest getting a trug; it has so many uses. Collecting weeds, mixing composts, collecting water, watering plants; the list is endless. Well done on completing the marathon, you looked like you really enjoyed it.
Well done on the marathon 👏. Can’t wait to see that conifer decorated for Christmas 🤣. Some little low solar lights in the box you just planted would light up that foliage beautifully x
Luke you ABSOLUTELY deserve all the praise! What an achievement! 🥳
Thanks for this week's vlog - Sunday is so much better because of them. Happy healing to you and Zara. 🥰
Absolutely here for more running content! Love just following along with whatever you are doing, doesn't have to be 'exciting' or a specific length of video or whatevs. Keep up the self care and recovery ❤️
Lots of great ideas!
I would butt the end of the table against the house, about 2 inches away for airflow, right under the kitchen window, leaving the chairs in the same placement.
That way you can hand things straight out the window to the table.
Then put the new wooden planter at the other end of the table, towards the grass, with the solar lights in it among the plants.
It makes a sort of definition of the table space.
With table moved in, bring out all the pots you had against the house there, and they’ll get better light.
Don’t put gravel round the tree, but use bark mulch instead, if you haven’t already done so.
Better for the ground.
Gravel gets lots of weeds and changes to ugly colour.
Mulch is softer looking, not so jarring esp if you’re going to put gravel elsewhere.
Also,perhaps “limb up” the tree, ie cut off some of the lower branches to tidy it up a bit and open up the space.
Maybe up about 2 feet off the ground.
Less places for animals to hide under it.
Use a saw or loppers that you have cleaned with alcohol first to prevent disease.
It’s going to be a wonderful garden…..so clean since you washed the slabs!
BTW: there is no such thing as “just going to look only”, at garden centres…..😂😂
❤ from 🇨🇦
Well done on the marathon all the hard work and sacrifice paid. Garden looking great. Tip for when filling planters after lining drop some cardboard in and twigs before you pop soli in, save on cost and helps the water slowly filter down.xx
Great vlog Luke! Well done on the marathon. Next time if you get another planter line the sides too. The wooden planter will last longer, 👍🥰
Love this it's so relaxing on a Sunday. The garden planter is a great find and I may have to get a couple 😬 that stone shell would be nice on the table. Loving the home garden updates ☺️. It's ok to have others opinions on colours etc but it's your home you do what you like.
Yes my partner made 3 similar troughs to attach to our pagola and we lined ours , constant rain and wet soil would very quickly rot the wood if not , also as advised layer stones or gravel inside the bottom before adding the compost , also i would advise raising off the floor ever so slightly with some little pieces of wood or similar ❤
Its so nice to hear you say ‘Mam’ - i too have moved away from the North East and everyone here is a ‘Mum’. My 4 boys call me Mam even though they weren’t born up there. New to your channel & enjoying it 👍🏼x
Ahh I love that Heather! I am super proud to be from the north x
I love the garden table. It's so fun watching you turn the house into your home. 🏡 ❤
Ooh your mums pie looked delicious, then I saw Zara’s pasta again I thought ooh that looks delicious. Love love love how your garden is coming alive it’s looking beautiful xxx
Hi Luke I would put some bricks under the wooden planter or it will rot quicker ❤ xx
Hi Luke. You don’t need to apologise for talking about the marathon as you did brilliantly and we are all so proud of you so talk as much as you want about it. I’m glad you are recovering now and I hope Zara is feeling better and you managed to go to the wedding. You’re such a lovely young man and I love watching your videos whatever they are. Your garden is coming on and love the planter you got and such a great buy too. Have a lovely Sunday ❤️
You are incredible. Many congratulations to you and everyone who ran last Sunday. You are all superstars.
very proud of you Luke you did well in the marathon.xxx
Garden is looking good Luke. If you put down gravel or granite chipping to extend your patio, make sure to get the 20mm, nothing smaller otherwise the local cats will use as their toilet. Also a tub of citric acid is cheaper and good for descaling kettles.
Fabulous Vlog Luke. Well done on completing the London Marathon. 🏃♂️
So much effort was well worth it and its something to tick off the ol' bucket list.
The outside table and chairs will no doubt be well used this year. ❤
You are such a nice chap Luke! 😊
Of course you're proud of yourself, Luke ... brilliant achievement running a marathon 👏
Lovely video and your garden is coming along very nicely.
Garden looks great I love my garden we’ve spent a lot on it over the years but so worth it ,,,,it’s another room to your house xx
Hi Luke, love the wooden planters, just a thought when it comes to putting the compost in ,how about putting a couple layers of cardboard in the bottom and fill about half with sticks and pine cones that you can collect when you take Magie out for a walk in the woods and then fill the rest with compost, this way compost will go further and you can always top up with more compost when and if needed,
Large containers could also fill so much with broken bricks to save with compost but be mindful that can be heavy if wanting to move pots or planters around x
You can talk about the marathon as much as you like, it was a fantastic achievement. I've been in 2 Home Bargains this weekend for bits and pieces includind a new plant. Love their garden stuff. Was looking for the same planter you got but neither had that size. Have a great Sunday and time at the wedding 🤎
Hi Luke, you should have lined the sides as well as the bottom of your trough, to prolong its life otherwise the wood will rot.
Luke we think the new planter that you bought and put the 3 plants in look really nice that's a great spot for it.👍👍❤
Hey Luke, to descale your kettle just cut up lemon, fill the kettle and let it sit overnight once boiled, works a dream x
Hi Luke and Zara. Congrats Luke on completing the marathon and raising so much money for a much needed cause, well done! I hope Zara feels better soon, she was such a great supporter during your marathon run, not surprised her voice went a bit hoarse😀 The garden is coming along nicely and I loved the new table and planter. Cyclamen plants may grow under the tree and check out woodland plants like ferns. All in all a nice Sunday video Luke😀❤
Your garden is really taking shape. Bring on the summer!
Luke, Always relax by watching your vlogs! 😊 Enjoyed the gardening shopping & planting. Glad you decided to grow your hair out again, it looks so good ❤
Just a suggestion - I would put pebbles on bottom of all your pots and wooden trough for drainage . Plants do much better. You can buy a big bag of them. ❤❤
The garden is coming along nicely...plant the blue bells under the tree as they love the shade and should be ok,they will spread themselves as they are self seeding...you could also plant wild garlic under there as well...although be warned it does spread everywhere...some strings of solar lights in the branches of the tree might be nice as well...
Another great video ❤ I do wonder sometimes, isn't it weird to really enjoy watching someone else just go about their daily lives. And I must admit (generally a silent viewer), you're the only one I love to click on straight away. Love to you, Zara & Magatha. Glad you're recovery is going well, you smashed it ❤
My daughter ran the York Marathon and runs every day she say`s it helps her mental health,Such a brilliant achievment Luke Congratulations ❤❤❤
I'd like to see you thrifting for house & garden stuff. I always love hearing your commentary :)
Hi Luke, hope you’ve had a great weekend and are fully recovered now from the Marathon 👍
The garden is really coming along beautifully can’t wait to see more updates soon 😍
Also lovely to see you and Mr C reunited in the city ♥️ thanks for sharing lotsa love x x
That planter was such a good price. Love the solar light also. Looks great! Have a nice day!
Hi Luke happy post Marathon! Your garden is doing so well were 76 and 80 so doing big garden jobs our out of the window were awaiting our guy to be available to do the last strip of fencing and shed base I did not want a shed as we downsized and its a small garden but I have a husband hoarder (this may come in handy one day) yeh but those days are getting less each year! Keep up the good work its hard work but doing it your self saves so much money we always did things ourselves but age does restrict your ability so make the most of your youth Get well soon Zara The tree could do with a tidy at the base x
Perfect planting Luke. And those planters are a really good price too! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you're starting to feel a bit better, and you do deserve the support! #celebrategoodguys. The garden is coming together nicely. I hope Zara's feeling better now too ☺️
Its great your healing well. I still cant get over your time for your first marathon. Wowza
Congratulations on doing the marathon, hope your knee feels better soon, send love to zara hope she feels better also if you didn't make a few holes in bottom of plastic bag otherwise the roots get water logged and rot
Hello Luke and Zara your garden is coming along so beautifully. Your House is becoming such a beautiful Home warm and cozy.❤
In the US here...I've never seen that NY Coffee. Your garden is looking so nice. I'm happy you have a lovely outdoor space for you, Zara, and Maggie!!
Luke, you deserve Happiness, Success and Love! Congratulations are in order.
Sorry, I am a bit late to this party! as you say life gets in the way of things and it's been like that a lot for me lately. Just one bit of advice that you may not need now, concerning weed surpresser. There are lots of different grades and prices, the cheaper thinner types will eventually let weeds grow through, do yourself a massive favour and get the thickest best quality you can afford, it will save you so much work in the future. Idea! Have a bring a spade party, and get help digging out that area for the gravel! payment can be a BBQ and some beer! THNX for the Vlog I still enjoyed it even tho I am a week late seeing it! x
Your garden is really going to be lovely…the wooden planter is fabulous..am going to drag hubby along to get some.. Hope Zara feels better soon. And be careful with your knee..🤔♥️xxx🏴
Love that you have shared your marathon journey and should be so proud of your accomplishment. You’ve given me insight into the journey my son is currently on. He hopes to run 50k in September here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 and I had no idea what it involved so thank you 🙏
I would buy that potting table and use it as a entertaining bar on my patio. Great prices 💵
Try cutting a few branches off the underneath of conifer. As high as you like. Let’s light filter through and looks better. Hope your healing well!! X
Well done on your marathon, and raising all you have for your charity.
Keep checking for a new video, can't wait! Love your home and cooking videos best x
Oh no 😣….should have lined the whole wood box to stop from rotting the wood. I made one myself from wood taken down from an old Wendy house 🏠.
And used the staple gun to line up the box with plastic.
Still going strong. And has been a few years 😂😂
Love your planter. It tidies up the pipe are and looks better. Hopefully it gets enough sun in that area for your plants
Next time you plant in a container put it on some corner blocks. You need to put holes in your plastic to drain the plants. Also plastic then cardboard.
I have been looking at that same table! It's lovely on your patio! ❤
hope you feel better soon Zara , we have had what you have in our family it makes you feel so drained and poorly. love the look of your garden xx
You are a star doing that marathon. I used to do a bit of running but then when I was 26 I got asthma I've not been able to run since and I'm 65 now. I can't even walk up the stairs without getting out of puff. Xx
I saw Cleaning Up when it first came out. Absolutely brilliant TV!!
Think garden content is my favourite! Can’t wait to see you and Zara outside at the table rose in hand! Looks great so far.
You can get original Victorian edging tiles from reclamation yards. Not too expensive but in keeping and will last forever. X
You deserve all what you achieved, I would be so proud if you were my son. Love to you and your family, I watch ewan as well you are both my fav RUclipsrs.xxxx
Hi Luke. Nice to see you and Zara are feeling better! I love the informal/slice of life vlogs. As far as talking about the marathon, I was a runner so I completely understand how it makes you feel. I smile every time I see some running. I really miss it and you are inspiring me to get back at it.
Love the garden box. It would look lovely if you added some tumbling flowers around the edge. A pop of colour, if that suits your taste.
Was so nice to see you and Iwan getting out and about. Have lovely week!! Looking forward to your next cooking video
Firstly, congratulations on finishing the marathon! Love the idea you have with the tree and the gravel. I would suggest taking the lower branches off and opening the bottom up. It would a) make it easier to do the gravel and b) you would see through the garden but not loose privacy. Isn’t gardening fun?? Feel better soon Zara, and hope your feet heal quickly Luke xxx
Luke please be wary about putting the Laurel in the ground unless you keep it trimmed back because they grow into a big tree
There comes a time - I have had my flat repainted and new furniture and stuff but it takes time and the more time you take the better it becomes!
Love garden content as it gives me inspiration to make mine look better on a budget.
£6k?!?!!! wowser well done you, love hearing when money gets raised for the smaller charities. I love the HB wooden planter.. might have to go check out for myself now even tho I'm skint and gardens can eat up the £££.
Luke, I am so happy for you for finishing the marathon and all the support you got. I was surprised how fast the run was. Congratulations! Yep, I couldn't run that fast to a bus either, 😅😅😂😂 to you both. ❤❤ Luv yas!
Hi Luke glad to see you back up and running 😂 pardon the pun… re the conifer, they sap all the moisture out the ground grass will die further in as the roots get bigger, they get so tall over time if you don’t keep lopping them.. in fact there a headache if you plan to stay there long term… plenty other options for screening your neighbours im sure xxx
Luke The Garden Is Looking Fabulous. Get well soon Zara. Xx 😘😊
Hi Luke, now you're into running, ever thought of doing park runs, it's a fun way of keeping your fitness up. Your garden is coming on a treat, love the planter you got. Be proud of marathon run, it's a great achievement 🥰
Nothing like sitting outside Luke with a cuppa ☕️! Thanks for showing us your garden progress 🍁 , Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪
Many congratulations on the Marathon, such a feat . Completing it seems to have totally re-energised you , so very well done.
I love hearing you talking about your marathon. Congrats again. So happy over $5000. Yeah
Luke so happy that you have done so well ,that's an amazing amount to raise.
Hope Zara soon feels better bless her, she is becoming a whiz in the kitchen those meals looked so yummy.
Do as much as you can yourselves in the garden, you will appreciate it so much more and also cost effective and very satisfying. Xx
You need to watch Kin! It is excellent. Well done with the marathon and that planter looks so lovely! Your patio area looks lovely
