- We're back together having all of the garden (and random) chats! I went over to @DaintyDiaries this week on a miserable rainy day to film where we chatted about our summer learnings, some garden plans for the future and went off on many tangents as we do best!
What were your learnings from the summer and what are your plans for the garden this autumn or for spring next year?

Nice to see your chat. It's always good to laugh along with the two of you
Glad to have given you a laugh Denise!
He whipped his banana tree out, I lost it! Lmao love you ladies
Don't tell Monty we talk about him like this!
@@Lovelygirliebits I’ll never! 😂
@@Lovelygirliebits it took me so long to figure out what or who you were talking about. Finally I just typed into Google Where is Montedon? Who is Mon T Don ( I was thinking gang/rapper/gardener) after about 6 tries I got it! It would have been easier if I knew he’d written gardening books - I might have searched for gardening author/gang/rapper/sexy boy! Lol
I always learn so much from these girly chats. You guys are never boring. Karen I like your makeup videos & Catherine I remember when you we’re sitting on your couch at night editing & talking to us. I felt like I was right there with you. Then you went to that class where you made those pumpkins! Those were fab & ohhh the late night garlic fries (is that what they are called?) we don’t have them in the states, you’re videos are perfect! Just be you ❤
Ah yes, Catherine's famous garlic and cheese chips! I'm hoping to get back to doing beauty videos as I love creating for RUclips and don't think I'll be doing as many garden videos over the winter!
😂 Catherine's smile when she said "I think he's dead" at the end 😂 cracked me up 😂 ( 45:38 )
You two are such a ray of sunshine on a rainy Sunday in Ireland!! Love watching you - it's like a night out with friends and having great craic!
Thanks for watching Mary!
Awe the Love is so sweet🥰 must’ve been scary for you Catherine to think you’d need bring her the blessings. May you both be blessed with loads of health this upcoming season 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Ah thank you and the same to you!
When you two are together it's worth getting up on a sunday.enjoyed watching your garden catch up.x
Thanks for watching, Linda!
I love, love, love having you both back together! Thank you.
Our pleasure!
A Willy, bwah ha ha! 3D!! Lol Thanks, ladies! Love from Indiana!
Thank you for sharing your natters, you're great company 😊
Love listening to you two! 😂😂 banana tree, live art classes…😂😂😂
I learned this year that ranunculus is extremely hard to grow(did manage some flowers but they all died shortly afterwards) and that if you don’t stake your dahlias they will schlump over everywhere…. Next year I will stake them up!!!😊
I love your garden chit chats, so much fun!
Ladies you can’t taste the difference with decaf please just give it a go it may stop your jitters, absolutely loving these monthly chats by the way 👌😊
Love listening to you 2 ladies chit chat. For me, I enjoy both your channels because of your personalities. I have come over from Danity Dasiy channel because of the chat and your love of gardening. I can't grow plants to save myself, but I keep on trying lol
My family have been in Wiltshire, England for a year. My son started a veg garden, tomatoes, pumpkins, gem squash and marrow. Omw he had a bumper harvest, the only plant that ended up with the white powdered mildew was the marrow, fortunately soon after he harvested the veg. Nothing nicer than freshly picked veg.
Your son sounds like he's been busy and productive! Fresh veg is the best and I'll be harvesting more corn this evening for dinner!
I watch the two of you for shear enjoyment… (often do learn things) - you’re both adorable! Undiagnosed ADD…. Possibly; excited absolutely. You have so much to say and just want to get it out. It’s a gardener thing..ope squirrel 🐿️.
We just bounce off each other a little too well I think and get so excited!
Always like your chats. I live in Ohio USA and when we were little we would pick Queen Anne's Lace and put it in glasses of water with different colors of food coloring and the white flower would turn that color. The story behind it is that Queen Anne would make lace and one time she pricked her finger with the needle and a drop of blood fell onto the lace which is why there is a spot of crimson in the middle of each flower. There are poisonous plants such as poisonous hemlock (do not touch) which look similar, but they do not have hairy stems like QAL.
That's so interesting about Queen Anne's lace! Thank you for sharing!
I used copper tape to stop the slugs and snails. But I used chilli powder and cinnamon powder to stop the ants and earwigs getting at my vegetables. Plus I planted marigolds (tagetes) inbetween the veggies which stopped the flies etc. Am loving the chats, as they are a great source of info. 😊
Oh that's interesting about the chilli powder and cinnamon powder for the ants and earwigs!
Epson salt on top of the soil around the base of your plants will keep the slugs off plus the plants love it. Especially roses 🌹 it great plant food. Don’t mix it in the soil. The plant takes what it wants for a month or so.
Oh that's so interesting! I must read up more on that, thank you!
This is the first year my tomatoes had blight. Too close together and not enough air circulation between plants. I pulled them out and will plant them in a different bed next year. My yellow corn was a total fail, the cobs are going over the fence for the squirrels and chipmunks. I learned to mark the flowers I want to save the seed heads by writing the colour and flower name on a bit of painters tape and wrap that loosely around the stem.
Literally what happened to my tomatoes! That's a great idea about marking the flowers you want to keep the seeds of!
Love your chats ladies you are so funny together, keeping it light, Sarah Raven has some lovely things a bit more expensive from her catalogue which are great to look through but always something different you can buy from her, will have to check out her podcast, take care xx
Her stuff is so gorgeous! I bought a pair of snips earlier this year in TK Maxx and got a good deal, I must keep an eye out for more!
Love hearing the rain on the greenhouse. Good seeing you two for your laughing chat.
Karen I see your lips moving but somehow I'm not believing you are not going to buy anything new. ha ha Get on with the buckets. Thanks for the chat.
Hahahaha! You know me so well!
Gardeners name in hat is probably Joe Swift! Love your chats ladies Thankyou for sharing! Xx
That's him! I could picture him but the name wouldn't come to me!
You both would love the book Cool Flowers by Lisa Mason-Ziggler
Gives all the info on sowing seeds at this time for the best spring head start
Oh, the joy these bring. Absolutely the same sense of humour too! Brilliant. Thanks so much. Ps. Sarah Raven has a you tube channel too if that's of any interest xx
Thanks so much for watching!
You ladies bring me so much joy.
Right back atcha!
You two are truly ‘soup for my soul’ this morning. I feel like I’m right there with you, sipping a good cup ☕️. The rain is so calming, and your laughs are so invigorating. Thank you so much from my Michigan chair this morning 🌻🍂🧡🍁🧡
What a lovey message! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Love your chat today, I felt like I was there. Raining here, too. Glad that you are well, Karen, I was wondering where you were. Laurie
Thanks Laurie! Hope you have a lovely week!
Oh you girls give me a giggle 😂 I enjoy your monthly chats about everything with you both and they are informative too 😉 Take care of yourself, Karen, now that you're getting better. Thank you Catherine and Karen for sharing your chats 😊
Thanks a million Paula!
Joe Swift. is the guy who wears the panama hat.
I dont know if you ever watched the sitcom Keeping up appearances. Joes father played the hen pecked husband of Hyacinth Bouquet. Joe is a dead ringer for his father!😊
I have really enjoyed today's video. So good to hear so much laughter in a very sad world.
K
I didn't know that about Joe's dad!!! That's hilarious!
hello lovely ladies, I was a model for drawing and yes, you don't move! depending on position you stay still for however long you can, then you take a break, stretch a bit, move a bit and go back to EXACTLY same pose
it's a touch job but it's incredibly rewarding to see magnificent art that comes from it
loved it and I think it's amazing experience (dressed or not)
I'd say it's almost meditative, sitting in the same position? Or maybe not!
I propigated my gaura too and it's doing well. I also just divided my perennial salvia that's 3 years old and I got 7 plants out of the 2 I divided. I also transplanted some of my ajuga ground cover that was starting spreading past where I wanted it to. I can't wait to divide my sedum next spring and more of my hostas next spring as well. I love using what I already have to fill in and make more plants. I recently joined my tows garden club and I think it will invigorated me during the late fall and winter!!
Ooh it sounds like you've been really busy and I love hearing what you've divided!
Listening to all the plans for the garden. I was wondering if you do a garden journal or planner? Because I would forget all my plans. Then just wing it like I always do. I need a garden planner! 💜Heather
That would be fab!
Are we sure that's only coffee in those cups ladies 🤣😂🤣
I wish it was more!
I’m in California and it’s 10:40 in the morning and it’s already 22 C so I’m getting my deck/patio ready for fall getting some mums, zenias, and some creeping sort of flower don’t remember the name but I have all my fall colors out.
Bring on the autumn colour!
Yay!! Chit chat🤩🤩🤩 lovely to see you both. A potager is a veggie garden and a potage is a rustic soup. Soup and spaghetti sauce season is very much the vibe at the farm shops in my area. Tomatoes, onions, cabbage, leeks, potatoes and peppers galore! Time to get my instant pot out lol
Time to get cooking all of the things!
It's the chlorine in tap water that plants don't like, but if u fill up a bucket and leave it after about 2 hours, the chlorine has gone . So anyone with water barrels do fill from the tap when needed 😊 chlorine doesn't last after a few hours. I've a little bit of grass and borders around and iv seen and read u need to water the grass because the grass will take water from the beds and also the other way around. So when there's a drought the roots will go deeper looking for water and watering the grass helps.
Thank you so much for that insight! I had no idea about the chlorine!
Love, love, love the chit chats. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for watching!
Just love you guys! So nice to hear your chat with the rain falling. Haven’t heard that sound in months here in Iowa USA
We were so worried about having another dry summer but Mother Nature had a rude awakening for us here in Ireland with all of the rain!
My girls are back yay ❤
It's been a while!
Such a fun chat! Good to see you doing better. I'd enjoy your content even if recorded on different days and times then put together. Your happiness and health matters. A question for the next chat🤔 Aside from cost, why not installing drip irrigation? Thank you ladies 😄🍌🍌🍌
I've done that a couple of times, filming on different days and then I forget what I've said! So I need to make a better plan but I think it's something I'll be doing more over the next couple of months for sure!
When you were talking about bananas in the tree & being surprised it reminded me of when I was in Morocco a few years ago & we saw goats up in the trees, that was very surprising 😂
Hahaha that would make me do a double take!
The two of you always have me in tears from laughing so hard. I just love these chats!
Have a great week,
xoxo's Sandie
Have the best week Sandie!
Love your chats❤❤❤
I love you two together! There were so many funny references and comments. A total joy! Thank you both!
This is what happens when we're physically apart for 2 months!
So great to see y’all back together for chitchat! Y’all are hilarious. I needed the laughs. Thank you both🧡💛🤎🍂🦔
Our pleasure!
I had to replace my weed eater battery so I got a two pack. That has been great so I don't have to wait so long before I get back to work.
That's a brilliant idea! I do that with my cameras, always have one battery fully charged!
In art college we had to do life drawing block. 2 weeks looking at people in the nip. 😂
Sign us up!
It is such a joy to watch your interactions. Thank you.
Ah thank you!
I think it’s joe swift - your man with the hat !
Such a great chat....💗💗💗☕️ looking forward for next month....Blessings Ladies 🌻🤗

Love watching you two it's like me and my sister's used to be have me some lovely memories

Good fun listening to you two , thanks for that. I honestly don’t know how you fit in all your activities Catherine, I’m retired and I could do with someone to help me in my garden I am 75 so I don’t quite have the stamina I once had but even so I think the amount of time you spend putting out these videos along with all the other aspects of your lives and your day jobs is amazing I thank you for the entertainment you girls provide ❤️❤️
Catherine must have extra hours in the day!
I love Sarah too xx
She's a fountain of knowledge!
@@Lovelygirliebits yes I used to follow Sarah years ago ! have you seen her fabulous greenhouse it’s so big just love it xx
Ding, ding, ding, funniest conversation I have heard for a while.
I wonder if you had the commercial for, snickers or mars bar ( I can't quite remember which one) like we did in Australia.
So it's a life drawing class and the young man gets his spot and ready to start.
And then he hears, as she takes her robe off, " Hello Love " He nearly dies and says " " oh hi mum ".
If you haven't seen it you might be able to google it.
Every time I saw it I would be in hysterics.
Oh and I saw an add for new crocs and if you get them and wear them I'm going to throw up. Shrek Crocs. I know, I'll wait, it won't be long before you're wearing them.
So glad you're better Karen. Love you both. ♥♥
Totally going to google that ad, it sounds hilarious! And you don't have to worry, I think we both draw the line at those Shrek Crocs (just about!)
Love a weather warning chat
😂 so relate in uk
Not a day goes by where there's no mention of the weather!
Hi Girls nice to see you together again feels like forever!!!!!!
Two full months we've been apart!
Aw so great to see you both today I’m watching your chats in bed - I’m supposed to be relaxing 😂I’m just having such fun listen to you guys. Keep well girls ❤
I hope you got to relax!
You two are hilarious 😆
I’m in Melbourne and thrilled that spring has sprung !
We are having a massive problem with aphid atm , I hate the little buggers 😆🐨
I grew tagetes and didn't realise they would get so big! I didn't get aphids this year, but did get blight!
✨🙌
Yeah up early 5 am here coffee in hand, puppy on my knee and LOOK 🎉🎉🎉 Karen & Catherine Show thank you ladies great start to my Sunday
Have a gorgeous week!
We had a huge slug problem here in the states this Spring and Summer too. I was told to put table salt around the base of the plant (not touching the plant) and it will kill the slugs. I did this and it worked!! If you put salt on the slug it kills it right away. Just a thought.....they ate a lot of my plants this year too before I found this solution. :)
Totally going to try that with the salt, thank you!
Hi girls you both look fab .... love love the gossip 💕
Thanks Marian!
❤️🤗👍🏼
Luv u gals...and I'm not even a gardener 💕
Ah thank you!
@@Lovelygirliebits 🕊🌸
🌷🍁🍂❤️
hi girls love your chats i had a shock yesterday was weeding at my allotment and noticed one of my daffodils is coming up
i'm going bulb shopping next week can't wait
OMG already?! That's so exciting! I need to check my pots too!
I just found out that tree frogs eat slugs! I researched them because we have a little tree frog living behind a wood sign on the outside of our house. When I read that they eat should, I had the realization that I haven’t been fighting slugs for about a month! And that’s about how long the tree frog has been there. So awesome! I’m not sure if tree frogs live in Ireland but if they do, maybe check into how you can attract them to help with the slugs. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
Right, I need to make a pond and get me some frogs!
@@Lovelygirliebits That would be so cool! I live on a lake so the frogs usually stay down in the water, but it's nice to have this tree frog here with us!
I would describe your conversation style as chasing “bright shiny objects” or BSO’s. You are chatting away and suddenly one of you sees a BSO and off you go after a BSO. You just chased after “there’s a bee over there” BSO!
That's exactly us! Even in our multiple daily WhatsApp messages to each other!
@@Lovelygirliebits that’s why I enjoy the two of you so much. I get a kick out of Catherine thinking of all the things she can take in a “dirty” way. She doesn’t do it on her own channel but she cuts loose with you and then tries to blame you for it. I have 4 daughters and I’ve never met any humans as foul mouthed as the lot of them. They are well educated women with executive jobs (one is the VP of a large home health care company here in Canada. Even so, when they get together the air is blue. I done know why their mother never took them in hand!😉😜
No matter How you water the heat here in Texas killed a number of trees
Aw no
Hi Karen this was a lovely catch-up sorry you were unwell glad your better,great little titbits regarding the roots going deeper for water I never knew that,I have terrible black spot on my rose bushes hopefully they will recover.😊by the way Karen this chat was hilarious now every time I see a 🔔 ill think off you two 😂😂😂
Hopefully your roses will be ok! I've had black spot before and they've recovered, so fingers crossed!
@@Lovelygirliebits I live in hope Karen 🙏
LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Iv bought a lot of bulbs from farmer gracey and a lot didn't come up.
Ah that's such a shame
Unfortunately some people don't water properly. Instead of watering the roots they just water everywhere and leave the hose running.
So true
What eye?
So cringey given what’s happening today , ten years later . Subtlety asks about her dad , talks about torturing a dog and such
I don’t follow what you mean?
Aww lovely to see you back this month ladies. I immediately had to Google the helenium & heliopsis to have a look.😂 🪴 🌿 👍
Hope you found them ok!
I love watching you two, it's like...SQUIRREL...😂😂😂 You are my tribe...😊😊😊
That's literally us!!
