    Ladies I follow both of you rarely comment but when I had a garden I purchased lady bugs and let them loose every year and no pun intended I washed all my plants with Irish original soap shavings melted in water. Thank you both for being spots of relaxed joy. I can no longer garden but I love nature and gardening. I love people but truly am a introvert and a only child so I get it. Stay blessed ladies

      Wonderful, i watched a video where a lady jn america has turned her lawn into a garden much to her neighbours displeasure as they apparently love their lawns. It looks beautiful and saves her a lit of money in water bills, how great is that.

    You two are fabulous! This was so much fun to watch. Only those of us who are "garden obsessed" would watch from beginning to end...me.

    @samanthachung4844 Год назад +1

    I've had no budget for a garden for several years now because money is tight. I've made use of the library's seed collection to start a lot of container veggies and flowers. Maybe check your local library for seed collections? Its free. My garden soil is more than 10yrs old, adding compost to it every year. And I've also collected seeds from what I grew to use for next year. I collected sunflower seeds from last year. Marigolds are easy to germinate and collect seeds from. Their stems are sturdy and hardy. Anytime you guys go out, please take us with you, it's great content. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Canada!

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  Год назад +2

      Thanks so much for sharing this, your so right, the cheapest way to grow a garden is with seeds. Have you tried taking cuttings and devising plants?

    You two are the best, you just brighten my day and just talking s**t is OK with me. When I was a young girl in the 50's my great aunt had a big house with a beautiful garden and a large greenhouse with wicker chairs. When we visited in the summer we used to sit in there for afternoon tea, she used to call it "The Chattery" as its where she used to sit with family and friends for a chat. Such wonderful times in a different age.

    @traceywilliams5985 Год назад

    Loved this weeks offering, I too was laughing along. I agree about how untidy the tulips look when dying back, what I do is plant them up in the container then sink the container in the border, that way when the flowers die off I can pull the pot out and put in elsewhere to die back.

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  Год назад

      This is a really helpful tip for sinking the container 🙏🏼

    Catherine, I started following you years ago, although I got off RUclips, fb and other social media for some time. But I’ve started watching cottage gardening recently. I found and am now following Karen. I just love her! When I saw you sit down on the swing with her in the episode with the barrows I got so excited! I just love you two together. You’re both so funny. I’ll be following you both much closer. Y’all are the bestest! 🌱🪴
    Oh I had to add this! I wipe my aphids off too. I do them every morning if I see them. I just hold that piece and rub up the foliage with my thumb and pointer finger and smash them. Some hop off but I get most of them. I have washed them off with the hose.

    So lovely to have a visit with you both . Fun times and lots of laughter, good for the soul.
    Beets are easy to pickle… once cooked, slice and put into a container.. I pour Bragg’s Organic Vinegar on my cooked beets and the are delicious by themselves or in salads.
    Loved all your chit chat. Along with your giggles.
    Have a great week to you both . ❤❤

    The tray with water & a rock: I have that near my new stone bird bath. I feel like a pro gardener now. 😅
