“Openly flaunt”, hardly. Maybe I’ll start talking about my sex life in a forthcoming video. Why do you continue to watch if you don’t approve? Rather strange behaviour. Just unsubscribe and leave if you are unhappy.
Sean you are used to being in London where it is several degrees warmer by now...when I watch gardening programs or see articles about when to plant something, I always add on a couple of months as I am in the north of England. If it says plant this in January, then you know that in Lancashire (where I am) that means March!
Feeling spring! dafodils and blue bells, and snow drops... pushing up.... and maple trees with red tips...lilac trees, with tiny green leaves on tips, and the camelias blooming....I planted sweet peas late summer and they are chest high now but no flowers yet, and wintered over...I'm shocked....a few lite frosts have come and gone...I didnt want to loose them, so I tossed a clear plastic sheet over the tellis and anchored it down with a pipe across the bottom on both sides....We could still get more frost....getting the bug to garden....love it❤
The sunshine means very little when, in fact, today we are exactly 4 weeks into the Winter - (21 December 2024 to 18 January 2025) and Winter is 13 weeks. Only another 9 weeks to go until the official start of Spring. I can understand because years ago when I was fit enough to be gardening I used to be very impatient, so much so that I purchased 4 little electric propogators so I could start off alot of my own plants in the house. It`s much cheaper than buying plants in the long term but of course you need the space. At the time we had two living rooms and I set up the propogators on a side board relatively close to the window. That then led to me buying a cloche tor outside in the Spring and I had the task of carrying all the tender young plants outsid (inside the cloche) On warmer days I`d then open the cloche but still took the plants back inside mid to late afternoon. This is where I became particularly impatient whilst of course Professional gardeners do say NOT to risk tender young plants outside until at least the end of May because there`s always the risk of a sharp frost. Looking back it makes sense while Summer does not commence until approx 20th - 22nd June. Happy gardening - just be patient - enjoy each season all of which comes with it`s own beauty ❤
Made me laugh that you got on the bus and came straight back because of the kettle 😅 Years ago, I cooked lamb chops on a low heat all night!! I woke up to the most wonderful smell of roast meat 😂
Read just a few of the comments and it seems people can’t resist telling you what to do, whether it’s money, your garden or your life. You must be amused by it all, otherwise it would drive you crazy. I so enjoy just listening to your story for the day, gardening ideas, and home improvements. You are an expert gardener and whatever you buy for the garden will be a lovely addition. Much good luck with everything.
The Bone Broth: Have a look on the packaging to see if you can freeze it Sean. If you think you won’t use it before it goes out of date, it might be worth freezing it. It’s definitely worth using one in the cawl though. I did think the other day that it was still light out about 5pm. It’s nice to see the changes in the seasons. 😊
Electric kettles are safest but your new one is nice looking. I once left my house forgetting a sausage was boiling in water. I arrived home just as the water was all gone and sausage browning. Miracle. So now stay in the kitchen when cooking. Lesson learned. There's super cold coming here but the longer light in the evenings is hopeful.
Hi Sean, Thank for the videos. I randomly watched your move back to Wales a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Love the idea of a slow life. Doing my best to integrate your ideas into life here in Tassie. Take care
Our weather in winter is very similar to where you are, beautiful sunny days at times and yes frost everywhere… seems if the skies are clear the night before, we wake up to a thick layer of frost …I’ve lost so many plants due to it … I now end up putting my veg in big pots in back concrete under cover, I don’t have a poly tunnel and you really need one here otherwise weather and rabbits/wallabies eat the lot 😮
Hi Sean, has anyone mentioned yet that your side panel for the arch is in backwards? I think maybe that 45 angle on top has to face inwards, to match up with the 45s on the roof piece.
I have noticed it drawing out at night. Not so much lighter in the mornings as I'm usually watching you 😅. The weather gods have been kind to me this week we had a new roof on . Was worried after the snow and ice last week but we had a week of sun in South Yorkshire, no rain so the roof is all done just have to have the scaffolding taken down then i can get in the front garden and sort it out as even though I've got raised beds and flower boarders they walked all over it. Wouldn't have been so bad if they had made one path but they didn't it's the only downside 😔
January is a dull month! Come February I feel we are well on our way to spring and the Daffodils Challange. Will they or wont they flower by St. Davids Day on March 1st ? 😊
Good morning Sean I was reading the comments before adding my own and noticed that RUclips has done a handy little feature where they put the name of something being discussed in blue with a magnifying glass emoji over it. I just tapped it and voila! a picture and description of the plant you bought was on the screen! 😂 Don't forget to take the bits that you took off your plant out of your pocket,it wouldn't be great for the washing machine or finding them in your underwear! 😂 Take care Sean 💜
Looking at the roofs across the way from the allotment & visible over the fence, it looks like only one of them is actually adequately insulated. All the frost has melted off all but one of them because of the amount of heat coming up through them.
Couldn't stop laughing about your bell on the fridge 😂. Love the cast iron kettle, I had a tea pot that looked like your kettle but when pouring the tea the handle wasn't rigid. Looking forward to watching you cook xx
Hi Sean, first things first love your green top, that colour really suits you. Plus I can def see the weight is coming off! Brilliant!👍🏻 Right, now we've got that out the way, I agree also usually around Feb I noticed the light changes just a bit brighter, anyway, it did is this week so I reckon we're in for a good Spring and Summer! Anyway, good on you getting things a bit more sorted on the Homestead! I think the arch and gate will look fab! Take care and catch up soon.
Your videos make me feel terribly homesick. I'm still not able to move into my home after the floods in November. Also - i didnt realise that frozen veg grew like that, i always thought they were just regular veg that were frozen afterwards. Every day's a achool day 😜
Gone straight to direct plants and bought two shrubs that I’ve been meaning to get for years! That plant looks really healthy, so thanks for heads up! ❤
Bravo for even going outside at these temps. I don't. But the walking will help with the fitness journey. The archway is going to look fabulous. I think I have watched a video of you making cawl while in London. Sorry to hear about the funerals. Don't overdo it in these cold temps, they'll fool you. (oh, is the gate due north? I've been calling it the north gate, lol. Weathervane is so pretty.)
Sunrise in Toronto on Dec 21, 2024 was 7:48 a.m. Today it's 7:45 a.m. Not noticeable. Maybe because your latitude is so much further north you are noticing day length change but over here it's still sh*t. Later today the 'Polar Vortex' is arriving.
Could have been a disaster leaving that kettle on Sean! I have OCD and always have to check everything is off (more than once) before I go outside. But you were in a rush to catch that bus I know. It is very frustrating when you have the energy to do a job, but you can not because of one thing or another, as it was with your frozen ground at The Rusty Homestead. At least you got to start your lovely arch. Blessings from a cold and frosty Wet Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge. xxx
Hi I subscribed because I love your soothing vlogs in a crazy world. I have just signed a tenancy to a huge allotment so am looking forward to any tips and future videos of how your place progresses ❤
Hi Sean I’ve watched your video this morning, I’ve looked on direct plants to see the one you bought but can’t find it. Could you tell me what it was called please, many thanks x
Sheesh - I saw some of the comments you feature on Facebook, and some here! What a lot of cops and robbers there are! Cops telling you what to do. Robbers trying to steal your happiness and poohpooh your achievements. I'd rather cheer than jeer.
I would like to see you making your Welsh broth. Will that be on a this platform? I think you have Spring Fever. Here in Canada, we are now in the depths of winter. No spring is in sight. January, February and most of March are long and depressing. I have noticed there is a bit more daylight at the end of the day so that is a good thing.
Very nice kettle but you decided to use an electric one because of your kitty babies. If they jump up onto the cooker they could be very badly burnt. Think safety.
Direct plants,I'm waiting on 40 prunus cherry laurel hedging plant's in 3 litre pots from them,I don't have to worry. about them being true to size and the quality, after seeing what you purchased from them. Sean on the trellis, will the bottom need to be anchored into the ground to stop it from falling over?
@seanjamescameron what I mean is does theTrellis need post mix around the feet or pebbles and small stones increase the support and help secure the trellis?.
Clear, beautiful skies lead to heat evaporation when the sun goes down because there's no cloud coverage to trap the warmth. I can't wait for Spring!! I think it's going to be a great year in the garden!
Ceanothus…..beautiful,Sean. I’ve got a few in my gardens and when they bloom they attract hundreds of bees ! I’ve got the dark blue what did you choose ? A stunning shrub when it matures.
Sean You are a bit of a spendaholic! Surely you need to get the glass windows put in your summer house and shouldn’t you save money so you can get your greenhouse up
Good to know about the P.O. Box. Do you you still want the Big Chief tablets? The ones I see are top glued but not spiral bound.....yes? It's cold and some days wet near San Francisco .. But yes, 2 days ago I saw the light angle change in the morning! Comes in a particular window and all but blinds me for a few days spring and fall!

Don't you get pissed off people telling you how to run your life. If it's any consolidation I get pisssd off on your behalf lol 😂
Me too. People are so presumptuous.
It's not funny, it's quite draining.
“Openly flaunt”, hardly. Maybe I’ll start talking about my sex life in a forthcoming video. Why do you continue to watch if you don’t approve? Rather strange behaviour. Just unsubscribe and leave if you are unhappy.
@seanjamescameron Have you given up asking people to leave positive comments? I get a constant flow of negativity...
@seanjamescameronthats rich coming from gwen,she has her own channel where she openly shares her own life.i think she fancies you😇😁🤣
Good morning Sean. you should have used some of your waste cardboard to cover areas of the ground to keep it frost and weed free 😊
Yes I’ve noticed that the sun goes down about a half an hour later now. Always a good sign. ☀️
I’m sorry for laughing. But your incident with the bus rides really cracked me up. 😂
Days are definitely getting longer. My chickens have started laying after their winter break.
I love how black and loamy the soil is at your homestaead. That's black gold right there!
Sean you are used to being in London where it is several degrees warmer by now...when I watch gardening programs or see articles about when to plant something, I always add on a couple of months as I am in the north of England. If it says plant this in January, then you know that in Lancashire (where I am) that means March!
I love your Bell ringing on the fridge, it makes you mindful of what you're going in the fridge for. Sending love and Hugs ❤xxx

Sean, my allotment is next to the river and the moisture from the river brings the temperature down a couple of degrees
Can't wait to see the cowl. You are doing great on the homestead. Great job, say hi to the kitties for me.
The soil at the homestead is gorgeous.
The frost isn’t over in East Tennessee until after the first week of May, so that’s generally when we plant things.
Back home after an exhausting day at the office, in a busy city centre. Watching a bit of SJC is helping to relax my tired mind.
The sunshine means very little when, in fact, today we are exactly 4 weeks into the Winter - (21 December 2024 to 18 January 2025) and Winter is 13 weeks. Only another 9 weeks to go until the official start of Spring.

@seanjamescameron just keep on being you sean. Remember that's why we all love and support you
@seanjamescameron it’s no one’s business what you buy or do. You do what makes you happy and forget about them. Are they maybe a little jealous?
The Bone Broth: Have a look on the packaging to see if you can freeze it Sean. If you think you won’t use it before it goes out of date, it might be worth freezing it.

Hi Sean, Its been a real treat this week seeing a few vlogs. 🐞
Maybe put some cement in pots so the legs of the arch can go in it may not rot so fast may be stronger when windy x
The last one I had lasted 25 years without it.
Hi Sean, Thank for the videos. I randomly watched your move back to Wales a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Love the idea of a slow life. Doing my best to integrate your ideas into life here in Tassie. Take care

They are the correct way. Thanks for your concern.
Wow the temps are still very low, the days are getting longer with light levels. Spring is on the way
It’s freezing cold and snowy here in upstate NY in the Hudson Valley .it is bitter cold
Frost is always worse near the water . You backyard is also protected with the wals around and the terraces.
I went down my plot this morning just to make sure everything is ok and no break ins etc, not much i can do as ground very hard and frozen
I have noticed it drawing out at night. Not so much lighter in the mornings as I'm usually watching you 😅. The weather gods have been kind to me this week we had a new roof on .

Your vlogs are always comforting in some way. Lamb is my favorite now you look good and lively X
Its winter at the end of the day so theres no rush could take some cuttings from the ceonothus x😊😊
January is a dull month! Come February I feel we are well on our way to spring and the Daffodils Challange. Will they or wont they flower by St. Davids Day on March 1st ? 😊
Good morning Sean

Didn’t know that, will have to take another look.
Hi Sean , days lengthen by 3 minutes each day
I suppose it must be the lowest point. Frost always runs downhill.
Looking at the roofs across the way from the allotment & visible over the fence, it looks like only one of them is actually adequately insulated. All the frost has melted off all but one of them because of the amount of heat coming up through them.

Do what you want to do Sean, when you want to do it. Life is too short to worry about things and its not a race.
Hi Sean, first things first love your green top, that colour really suits you. Plus I can def see the weight is coming off! Brilliant!👍🏻
Right, now we've got that out the way, I agree also usually around Feb I noticed the light changes just a bit brighter, anyway, it did is this week so I reckon we're in for a good Spring and Summer!

Which ones?
@ mock orange & Japanese quince ♥️
@seanjamescameronI'm going to have a look at Direct Plants thanks Sean!👍🏻
Sean I think you should be on commission with Direct Plants 😂
@@Barneysma I've said that before re One Click Plants!
-31 today in the great white north.
Well I never . I didn't think you could get a pink ceanothus I only they were blue 🤷♀️
Good afternoon Sean. Hope you are well. You are making good progress.
what's up duck ❤❤❤❤❤
It's amazing that you can dig up the ground. The arch is beautiful 😍.
Cast iron kettles are the best!

Getting your veg' naturally pre-frozen now. Is that a form of one-upmanship?

It’s in the video description Gwen.

Perhaps that river pulls the temperature down a few °c?🤔
Thanks Sean❤....great one.
Beautiful large, healthy looking ceanothus you got in the sale. Well spotted. Buy what you want when you want. Everything is coming on lovely.👍
I love your weather vane. It’s all coming together boootifully
Maybe use the bone broth in your cawl soup?

Never had a problem before doing it this way.
@seanjamescameron Thanks for the advice once you have established your trellis I'll follow suit.
Clear, beautiful skies lead to heat evaporation when the sun goes down because there's no cloud coverage to trap the warmth.
I can't wait for Spring!! I think it's going to be a great year in the garden!
Ceanothus…..beautiful,Sean.
I’ve got a few in my gardens and when they bloom they attract hundreds of bees !
I’ve got the dark blue what did you choose ?
A stunning shrub when it matures.

Another good video Sean 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🍷
Brilliant video matey! 👍👍
did the frost come down during the day? I'm in NZ, and where I live, we get frost overnight, and it disappears by lunchtime usually
The area is mostly in the shade, during Winter, so never gets warm enough to make it melt.
Very nice green shirt you're wearing.
Love the weather vane with the cats on it sean

The ceanothus plants look very healthy, i didn't know that they come in pink. The bees will be very grateful to you. Really enjoy your videos. ❤
Starting to see the weightloss already Sean - whoop whoop!
Your transportation system seems very handy 😅
Sean
You are a bit of a spendaholic! Surely you need to get the glass windows put in your summer house and shouldn’t you save money so you can get your greenhouse up
I explain why that couldn’t be done in the video.
@seanjamescameron It's your life and money Sean. You can do what you like. Ignore the "experts"
Why didn't you just leave the mushrooms in the paper bag?
I want one of those kettles. It is gorgeous

Good to know about the P.O. Box. Do you you still want the Big Chief tablets? The ones I see are top glued but not spiral bound.....yes?
It's cold and some days wet near San Francisco .. But yes, 2 days ago I saw the light angle change in the morning! Comes in a particular window and all but blinds me for a few days spring and fall!
Top glued are what I’m looking for. Someone in America has found them so I should get them mid-February.
What are your gas and electric bills like now Sean?
Video soon.
@ oh good. I have been wondering since you moved in. Mine are still shocking.
Unless I'm stupid I can't see that you actually said what that plant was that you unpacked?
He mentioned it at the start of the video 😊
Cyanorthus? Ceanothus? ( sorry, spelling might be wrong) Spring bulbs…
@rhondafarmer4824 Ceanothus or Californian lilac. Large shrub/small tree, evergreen.
well if you can't paint or silican then I guess you just gotta go and make a cup of tea.....
