This year is the year for my garden to finally come to life. It has been a lifeless, gravel patch for far too long and today we're doing something about it. I'm hoping this will be the start of a series, so join me for the beginning of my gardening journey, hopefully in a few months, mid-summer, we will be in a beautiful herbal witch's garden.

wow in America hedgehogs are really only seen occasionally as pets. I didn't realize they live in the wild in England. Always fun to learn something new.
@katrinahohbein1486. Sadly, ma'am, there's been a drastic decline in numbers of hedgehogs in the UK over the last 30 or 40 years, but SOME of us make holes in the bottoms of our fences and provide 'wild' areas for hedgehogs to visit. ♥
I think their habitat is in western and middle Europe. My parents used to have one in their garden for several summers (I'm from Switzerland).
But as Hearth said, you don't see them too often because roads are a problem for them. (It's so sad if you find one that has been run over every once in a while)
Ask gardening friends for cuttings from their gardens if they have plants you would like to grow. Also, plants that have bulbs need to be split periodically, so you can sometimes find people willing to give away some of their bulbs.
A+ idea. I've traded with friends to give us all loads of variety.
100%! And recognising plants in public places so you can sneak some cuttings
Never underestimate the purpose of feeding bees, insects and birds with plants. Even simple sun flowers are brilliant to grow seeds for the birds and they grow rapidly and are affordable
I’m currently a closeted witch and I have several succulents and more recently a snake plant (got that as a Valentine’s gift), but most recently, my mother bought me strawberry seeds and told me that if I manage to grow strawberries, she’ll get me a small herb garden!
So far my strawberry seeds are starting to sprout, so we’re doing okay!
@MoonlitBookworm73. Best of luck with your strawberries, Brother/Sister. I certainly do hope that you do well with your strawberries, and that your mother sees what a good job you can do, thereby giving you a herb garden. ♥🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥
Welcome to gardening. Your magic will never be the same!
Heirloom tomatoes, and green onions. The pigeon was a great visitor, **** well time to find extra hedgehogs!!! Also Telepathy is make believe/ Snap Ear 👂 On $ Off
I don’t know why but I’m getting huge chaos goblin energy from this video…
in a good way 😂
"If I am not warm, I am not happy." I relate to this so much! 😅
I just spent the entire day in my own witchy garden and now I can watch Hearth creating her own? I couldn't have asked for a better way to relax this evening!
Don't worry indoor plants are harder to keep alive than outside ❤ 😊 I'm sure you'll manage x
You are absolutely just the most precious witch on RUclips, seriously :) . It's so obvious that you are just your genuine self in all your videos. I love all your content I've seen, and these "real life" ones are all great.
Love, love, love the arbor! Long time gardener here, and I recommend getting a routine started as soon as you bring your first plant in. Choose your favorite time of day, I’m an evening girl, and make it point to walk through my garden every day at the appropriate time as the weather permits. This way you can tend to it as well as enjoy it and relax a bit in the garden.
I live in a flat and we have a communal area for hanging washing around the side. I just made the end of that into a garden 🥰 everything is in pots and little planters. I have lots of lavender, herbs, tomatoes, roses and lots of pretty flowers. I also got a miniature apple tree from Lidl for £10. My strawberry’s are hanging from the fence but the magpies are eyeing them up 😂😂😂£1 land is really good for gardening stuff right now if you have one near you.
I love my little witches garden it has a beautiful feel and I put water and food for the birds everyday and encourage the animals as much as I can, even though we are in a super busy area. It’s the best thing I have done in ages, it brings me so much joy! I hope your garden blooms 🙏 🌱🪴
@elizabethmackay4590. I'm afraid, Sister, that it won't only be the magpies eyeing them up. 😉 If you are able, you might like to consider getting some netting to protect them from 'prying eyes'. 😉♥
My hubby, this year built me a raised garden bed. We have a small yard, and this has given me more growing room. I love sitting out there watching bees and butterflies. Keep your lavender dry. Only water it once a week. If you get a lot of rain bring it in. Lavender thrives in dry areas.
I’ve found that just talking to the plants, telling them how beautiful they look, asking what they need, even just talking about life with them, really helped my plant survival rate. They usually have something to say but they are really great listeners too! I hope everything goes well for you and I can’t wait to see an update!!!
Watch out for the birds so they don't eat your strawberries! You may want to get a protecting net over the plant so that birds won't get to the berries.
Also, it's very nice to see you outside and in an other setting. It would also be fun to see other parts of your house one day, but I understand if you don't want to, I just thought it would be nice, just to get some variation once in a while. 🥰 Thank you for this video, you got some nice plants there. 😃
You can paint rocks to look like strawberries. They peck the rocks, don't like it, and then they just assume the strawberries are rocks.
Look forward to seeing your progress. May your witchy garden thrive 🌱🪻🪴
The good news: you've mostly bought very sturdy plants. The lavender in my garden grows and spreads, despite being squeezed between three other plants that snatch all the light and me only clipping it down lightly maybe twice a year and show no signs of stress even if I forget to water them for a while in summer. My rosmary holds up better then most of my herbs even though it's spot is less than ideal with a lot of shade (it virtually never gets water). Same with strawbeeries, we once started with a a few plants and by now the covered the entire garden bed. Luckily the few other higher growing plants we have in there really don't care, bc they spread about as agressive as many mint plants do and are yet more resilient towards pests and drought (I've only ever seen damage at the fruits by slugs, birds and rot but never on the leaves). The hanger will likely prevent most of the damage through slugs and rot, as we have only lightly lifted the fruit of the ground with a plastic grid and it already made quite a difference. But should you wish to plant more strawberry varieties next year, you might need to buy a second one, because the first will likely be overflowing already.
On the planters if you get the wood set them on some flag stone and coat the feet 6 inch's up with the commercial flex seal paint.
Golden Memories = star jasmine --> my FAVORITE scent!
It will probably be a few years until you have an abundance of strawberries, but when you do, you don't have to eat them all as they grow. They freeze really well and you can make jam, pie, scones, muffins, crumble, ice cream, etc.
God I’ve written a book previously but I’m leaving another one now that I’m deep into the video. Plant invasive plants like mint and lemon balm in pots “always” lol. That way they cannot run amok all over the garden. You can type in whatever plant name you’re planting on RUclips and get a bunch of growing guides up in seconds. It often pays to find out what people are saying about how to deal properly with that particular plant. Some are crazy and need special care or planting instructions far beyond what the garden tag will tell you. I planted chocolate mint in a raised garden bed before I knew what would happen and it took over the whole bed fast. Lesson learned the hard way, some stuff is near impossible to contain!
I’m loving these dance breaks in people’s videos. Such a gorgeous arbor.
My rosemary (2) and basil are in tall pots on my back porch....out of reach of the alleycats. Ooo...and if you get raw horse manure, you have to let it sit a year before using it because the high nitrogen will burn your plants. Cow manure can go strait on.
Perfect timing, I'm elbow deep in gardening books right now working on my own little garden. Focusing on natives, pollinator friendly, and of course useful to my practice.
You're not the only one 🤣 I've got several books waiting to be bought for gardening and witchcraft, I'm currently looking for pollinator flowers for bees, butterflies, and others
@raininscotland. Choose single, open flowers where you can see the central part of the flower, where the bees can access the nectar and pollen.
Purple-coloured flowers tend to work well as bees can see the colour purple more clearly than other colours. i.e. plants such as lavender, alliums, buddleia, catmint
Tubular-shaped flowers such as foxgloves, honeysuckle, penstemons and snapdragons are an important source of food for long-tongued bees such as the garden bumblebee.
In spring, Bluebell, Bugle, Crab apple, Crocus, Flowering cherry and currant, Forget-me-not, Hawthorn, Primrose, Pulmonaria, Rhododendron, Rosemary.
For early summer bees, Campanula, Comfrey, Delphinium, Foxglove, Hardy geranium, Honesty, Hollyhock, Potentilla, Snapdragon, Stachys, Teasel, Thyme, Verbascum are good plants.
For late summer, Aster, Buddleia, Cardoon, Cornflower, Dahlia (single-flowered), Eryngium, Globe thistle, Goldenrod, Heather, Ivy, Lavender, Penstemon, Scabious, Sedum, Verbena bonariensis, Phacelia tanacetifolia. (This latter one is sometimes commented on by my Mother-in-Law as being a weed, but the bees absolutely adore it where I am in the West Midlands.)
Buddleia is commonly known as the 'Butterfly bush' as it attracts different species of butterflies.
You may need to check whether these plants are suitable for so far up north, Brother/Sister. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥

Best of luck in your gardening endeavours, Brother/Sister. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥
Don't panic--as time goes by, what plants thrive best for you will be made clear. Love the seat, very jealous.
I'm seeing a lot of witchy RUclipsrs do some wonderful gardening this year, including myself 🥰 So cool 💚 I too got some lavender this year but they are seeds instead of flowers and at the moment they've just sprouted, which I'm so happy about, cause they're so cute✨
@Thespiritualsorceress. Best of luck with your lavendar, Sister. ♥
I'm so glad I read the comments section. I just subscribed to your channel, too.
Gardening is a fascinating thing to do! And you’ll definitely lose some plants, but that’s just part of the process. I know it’s frustrating but it’s a learning curve like anything else.
I love honeysuckle! We used to eat the nectar when we were kids
@trishiamichael995. I've still got honeysuckles ... two different varieties ... growing from cuttings that I had from my Mom before she passed over in 1970.
Congratulations on your gardening adventure ! You will do just fine as you learn what grows best where you are. Look up companion gardening . That can help a lot. For example with your strawberries since there’s extra space in your planter consider adding basil to keep pests away or near borage to attract bees ❤❤❤❤
The joy of going into your garden and seeing the work you've put in, paying off, is priceless.❤
so a tip with the honeysuckle, it can get really woody in the older vines as it grows. keeping up with pruning can help tho :)
Gardening newbie here. Why is it bad for older vines to be woody?
Honeysuckle is delightful! My entire yard s covered with honeysuckle. I’m sure it’s been around for decades because it’s in our rose bushes and azaleas and Burberry bush and on and on and on… lol
@RockandRollMystic. I'm still growing honeysuckles, Sister ... two different varieties ... that I received as cuttings from my Mom before she passed over in 1970. I absolutely adore the smell of it, and it always reminds me of my Mom. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥
Gardening can be quite expensive but with a little experience you can begin starting plants with seeds or cuttings. Much cheaper! It does take a lot longer to grow your garden this way but I've found I develop a deeper connection with the plants. Another option is finding other gardeners who almost always happily give away cuttings or seeds or a potted plant for cheaper than a store.
Don’t forget mulch to mulch is important mimic the way of nature in the wild to grow the best
The sun looks so nice there!! Vitamin D is so important for us Europeans.
Strawberry plants will spread, and you will have baby plants next year. No worries, all 12 holes and more will be filled with plants by next spring
Cheap gardening hacks: set up a compost bin, learn to start plants from seed (you can get a whole packet of seeds cheaper than a single plant), and grow perennials (pay once enjoy for years).
Edit: Strawberries are great! You can get free plants from the runners. Strawberries are a great plant to grow.
✨️🌸💖 Absolutely IN LOVE with the Arbour! 😍💖🌸✨️ Can't wait to See how You Decorate it up with Outdoor Pillows & a Cozy Throw Blanket for blustery days! 😍
And maybe We'll See You making some Strawberry Preserves or Jasmine Oil in the future! 🍓
Good for you! Started out growing herbs about 4 years ago. Now I have 5 raised beds and a 20x20 plot where I usually have in-ground plants (taking a break from that this year but next year I am going to put pumpkins in). Anyways, go with the metal raised beds and to save on soil, fill the bottom with logs, sticks, or any natural compostable material and then the remaining 1 foot, add a good garden mix. That’s what has worked for me. You will have to add soil next year because the logs and sticks will rot but that will add nutrients back into your beds.
@gardenfox93. Great information Brother/Sister. 👍♥ That really helps on saving money, with the cost of soil and/or compost.
I am so excited for this garden content! As someone who struggles with a black-thumb, I gather inspiration and good vibes from videos like these. Hoping for more, thank you Hearth!! 💚
You should get 2-3 years from each strawberry plant and if you add the other 4 plants next year you will be able to put them on a cycle. Echo the nets - the birds can do as much damage to a strawberry crop as the slugs! Enjoy! Gardening and plants are amazing and so much fun! xo
most of the plants you mentioned grew wild where i lived in missouri, usa. our yard and house smelled amazing, wonderful. the honeysuckle should explode, it grew so fast we were constantly trimming it back. best of luck to you, sounds like a great project to take on. --blessings!
Honestly, as someone who is also horrible with plants, once I started my own herb garden in my yard, I had huge success. Nature does most of the work for you. You just gotta nurture with water and protect from pests if necessary. I found I hardly had to do anything, mind a few pesky squirrels digging my plants up. Other than that, Gaia will do her thing. If it doesn't rain - water. If it's dry and hot - water LOTS. It's kinda a fun balancing act, and a great way to practice letting go and watching the process of the plants growing is also very exciting. Good luck! 🍀🧚♂️
If you have a bumper crop of strawberries, make Freezer Jam or Sorbet!! Then, in the cold months of winter, you can open a jar, and remember the warmth and fragrance of summer. I just made my first batch (store strawberries were sweet and on super sale) of sorbet, not sure if it will last 'till winter, I'm already eating it!
That guy on the hairdryer gets everywhere i swear . ! Up and down my road all blooming day 🫣
I started gardening last year and also got strawberries (2 varieties, one is only bearing fruit in june and the other has pink blossomsband bears fruit all summer) and not only did they self-propagsted themselves (watch out for 'strawberry runners' as a form of self-propagation), they all also survived our German winter and are currently bearing fruit!
@bookphilos. You can actually use the runners as cuttings, Brother/Sister as the parent plant, once it gets older, will produce fewer strawberries that won't taste quite as sweet. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥ You can even pot them up and give them to like-minded people ... or sell them. 😉
Oh yeah, mint and lemon balm go ham if left unattended. I have a few on my balcony and they have quickly spread to different planters as well. Only the yarrow and some nettle is able to withstand the scourge
Don't stress about what containers you use. Plants can grow in anything. Research what you have and get to know soil drainage need, watering needs, sun needs, and root depth. Root depth is the biggest thing to take into account when container planting. I'm doing all but our tomatoes and potatoes on our porch in 8"deep window boxes this year. Tomatoes go deep so need at least 5gal buckets of container planting.
But yeah, anything CAN be grown in containers. And the nice things about containers is they can be moved if the plant needs more or less sun.
I think you’ll be surprised how much you can fit in a small space with plants. I like your space, it’s got real potential 😊. Have you seen those towers for planting? Or walls with pockets that can be attached to fences etc? Always think “go up” if you run out of space. I think it’s going to be lovely. Enjoy your gardening journey!
@couldbedreaming6330. Great information about towers and 'walls with pockets', as many gardeners, especially when they're new to gardening, overlook the 'growing up', instead concentrating on just using the ground. 😉✅☑✔
Don't forget that strawberries throw out runners so they create their own babies to plant up for next year. Also look out for sales and seeds are cheaper if you have time to wait. Good luck. Xx
To save money, get old furniture & planters at thrift stores, and use them for your raised garden. I feel the same way about edibles being peed and sprayed, I'm sure we aren't the only ones, lol! I LOVED this vlog, keep them coming! ❤❤💐🌻🪴🌾🍓🧄🥬🫛
This is kinda ironic because i remember several live streams ago i ask a question regarding a witches garden 😊
Mint, rosemary, lavender, bay tree, lemon balm and lots of SAGE, with fruit bushes make up the planting, I have recently planted Mimosa, Red Maple, apple and Holly providing greater height and perhaps most importantly a FIRE PIT!
I want a pink Lavender! I have purple and white. And why not bust a move while planting? Your sending great vibes to your babies!. 💚😊
I love your Arbour too! So beautiful!
Cheering you on from Ohio! You go gurl! 👍
There's no right or wrong way to garden. Water once a week unless you're in a drought. Try to not to get the plants wet instead water soil...will keep fungus and insects down. Garden stuff is expensive. A little bit at a time. Try not to break the bank...it's taken me a decade to get my garden where it's at...and it still isn't what i would call done. Zinnias don't smell, but they're great pollinating plants and super easy to grow. So are Cosmos and Marigolds. All three you can dead head in late summer early fall and save seeds in an envelope for following year. Remember majority of bulbs gotta get dug up, dried and stored over winter. Remember a water feature. You can make one or buy one. But they really make a garden extra. Remember to have fun, but also remember gardening is hard. Don't be fooled by those who say otherwise. You're going to smell bad by the time you're done. If you're really down for container gardening check out the Garden Queen channel. She's based out of St. Louis Missouri in the USA. But she is the container queen. Good luck and don't overthink it.

Yup, gardening counts as exercise!
You can dehydrate the strawberries!! 🍓 Slice them into chips 😆🥰
Having one of those plastic covered zip up grow tents allows you to start seed trays outdoors prior to the season, and you can mass produce the things that you want in your garden for the price of a seed packet. I’ve started all of my herbs indoors as we have harsh snowy winters here, so I have a mass of herbs and flowers started from seed. If they get adequate light and water they do just fine. I even plucked a few seeds off a random bush in a friend’s garden and stuck them in some soil indoors and grew two bushes of the three seeds I tried. They are just little starters but they’ll grow. Since putting them outside, they’ve tripled in size. I’m guessing if current growth trajectory continues, they’ll be half an arm lengths tall by the end of summer. The rule of gardening is “the first year you plant-they sleep. The second year they creep. The third year they leap in size.” Most gardeners know that rule of thumb, so hopefully you see this because it was helpful information when I started out. If anything is in question, there’s some good garden channels on RUclips coming out of the English countryside. I watched one myself when starting up an oyster mushroom grow bucket. Good luck to you, hope it goes well.
Try Aldi for cheap plants. I just bought a Jasmine & Passion Flower for £1.99 each. Also car boot sales have cheap plants & garden equipment. I used a half barrel for a pond in my first garden to attract frogs. The frogs love slugs. 🐸❤️
i am excited to see how you continue to enjoy gardening! your exuberance at this jump into gardening makes me smile
a word about cost because yes gardening can be a very expensive hobby. this is why so many gardeners i know (very much including myself) reuse a lot of stuff that would usually be thrown away like berry baskets and yogurt tubs for small pots and seed starting. composting helps to keep soil costs lower and adds nutrition back to your plants. seeds are SO much cheaper than plant starts though its very easy to become obsessed with collecting seeds (ask me how i know). and we all try help each other out with cuttings and seed sharing.
I would start with the smaller planters first. The metal ones are raised beds, better for vegetables and such, and will also need a LOT more soil.
If you are starting seeds, make sure to get potting soil. It’s much finer and will be more friendly to tiny growing seeds. Garden soil is for plants that are ready to go in the ground. (Skip the specialty soils; they’re just regular soil sifted super-fine, or with things added that you can buy and add to regular soil types.)
Be generous when sowing seeds. Better to overseed and thin, than underseed an be disappointed. Also, seeds have a “best when used by” date. They may well plant up just fine in future years, or they might have a lower germination rate.
Pick up some bulbs for a border in the fall. Get them in the ground well before the first frost, they need the cold dormant period, and then like magic they will come up in the spring. Daffodils are good ones, at least in my area (Pittsburgh, PA, USA).
You will need to do a lot of pruning on the honeysuckle and jasmine as they mature as they can be very invasive. As far as expense, many avid gardeners have a buddy system and swap cuttings and plants. You might want look into something like that for when you want to expand your garden. I am sure you have gardening clubs or an internet group around your area that you could look into. They will also be helpful for what will grow best in your region.
@heatherstewart768. Valuable information, Sister. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥ I've been sharing seeds, plants and cuttings with like-minded people for the past 50+ years.
We just set ours up recently too! Happy planting ♥️
⭐ Here you go! 😁Another lizard person! Yes. Autumn will always have a special place in my heart, but it is not first because summer exists. I have a garden every year and yet I major fail at keeping house plants alive. Ironic. But yes! There is never enough room in the garden. I even made it bigger this year, still not enough room! (Damn my obsession with vining veggies.) (Can I also say I am jealous of your dungarees? My torso is too long for them so either the front is too short - and hooks at an awkward place - or I have to size up two or three sizes too big. Or find a way to sew them some more length, which isn't necessarily a strength of mine. It's a struggle.)
If you don't like any flies and mosquitos around your areas especialy in your own backyards or gardens then i suggest that you might try having some amounts of carnivorous pitcher plants and sundew plants for it😁.
Im a very experienced gardner, so a few tips, strawberries don't do well in containers. First of all, you don't really get a harvest in the first year. So the idea of changing them out of the hanging basket seasonally won't work. The roots need at least a year to get established. Starberries run on a three year cycle for best production. Plant in year one, harvest in years two and three, then pull them up after year three. You should be planting new strawberry plants every year ( succession gardening), so you have plants priducing every year. Also, strawberries are very shallow rooted, so they dry out extremely quickly in pots. It's best to put them in the ground. As far as slugs, there are a few things you can do. Pesticides are the most effective, and no, not all pesticides are harmful to your health. But if you dont want to use pesticides, you can plant french marigolds. The slugs like them more, so they will go eat the flowers, not your fruit. You can also put out pie tins filled with beer. Again, the slugs like beer more, so they will go into the pie tin and drown. Also, back to the containers, most plants don't actually do well in pots and raised beds. When it rains or every time you water, the nutrients wash out of the beds or pots, so you will have to fertilize every 2 to three weeks. This becomes prohibitively expensive for most people. I put all of my plants in the ground, and all i have to do is top dress the beds in early spring with horse poo. Since i own a horse, im able to keep costs for gardening way down. The only plants that do well in pots are herbs because they dont need any nutrients. In fact, herbs taste better if the soil is dry, and there are no nutrients in the soil. This is because herbs go into defense mode if the environment is sub optimal, so they concentrate all of their oils into the leaves. So the lavender will do fine, but the other plants she bought will die in pots. Another tip if you are biying vining things, make sure its not invasive. Honeysuckle can kill full grown trees if left unchecked. Yes it smells nice, but it will choke out other plants. It's a very invasive species here in Tennessee where i live, so my honeysuckle gets cut back on a regular basis to keep it in check. The honeysuckle on my property is actually a way bigger headache than even my wisteria. My wisteria only needs a trim in January and july to keep it in good shape. The honesuckle, on the other hand, needs a prune every 6 weeks. It grows that fast. My best advice is to first decide what kind of garden you want, and what colors you want, then do all of the research you can. Know exactly what a plant needs and determine if you have the time to privide that. This should all be done 6 months before you even buy a plant, otherwise you will be very disappointed and probably waste a lot of money. Remember, plants need care just like pets, so if you wouldnt just rush out to buy a puppy, dont rush out and buy plants on impulse. Its best to make a plan and ever write down notes and draw out your garden design. You'll thank me when your garden looks great and everything is healthy and vibrant.
Perfect day to watch as I worked in my garden earlier today! You will love the jasmine!!! If you haven't planted it yet, I would suggest having it near one of the entrances to your home as the breeze will carry the scent into the house. But then again, it would be FABULOUS planted next to your beautiful new arbor!
Some extra soil funding 💜
im loving the witchy vlogs hearth! ive also been looking into starting a witchy garden this week! perfect timing xD
@YorkiTeabagz. Best of luck in your gardening endeavours, Brother/Sister. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥
What a really nice video, thank you! You will be a fabulous gardener.
I have a 4x4ft strawberry bed, and of all the varieties put into it, I can only identify 1 by sight. The leaves are practically quilted between the veins, they're a bit toothier on the margins, and the berries are pea sized, but bursting with flavor (it is not a mock strawberry). As for the rest? It's their blooming and fruiting habits that really decide their variety, they all look alike.
I set reminders in my on phone 2 days (Sunday and Wednesday) a week to go off on a weekly basis to remind me to water my garden. It has really helped me. Enjoy your garden!!
I am sooo interested in creating a witchy garden & here you come ❤
So for plant, I either get them from a plant nursery, frow them from seeds, or steal some cuttings of a friend/family
And as for mud, I use a mix, I get soil improver from a recycling center/tip although I know not all do, and then, I get a lot of compost (mostly hay because guinea pig), and then mud as well
Yay ❤ i'm excited to just watch your gardening videos. 😂 I love plants and gardening (crazy plant Lady here). Good choices of plants and the arbor seat is gorgeous.
I have honeysuckle growing in several spots in my yard. It grows wild here in Virginia. I love the scent too.!
Love and light to you always, Lady Hearth. Blessed be. A beautiful scene, your grace. And the garden doesn't look bad either. 🌹
You could also add roses 🌹 and there are climbing roses as well and they will come back every year and smell wonderful also come in stunning colors. And a butterfly bush I feel you would love it and enjoy the butterfly humming bird and dragonflies it attracts 😊
Gardening tip: grown plant ARE expensive, but seeds not. I know the difficulty, but for some plant it's just so wort it to buy seeds and grow yourself. For example where I live lavander is really expensive, but seeds are cheap and you can grow multiple plants, exactly the number that you need
Ooh! Pink lavendar!! Also, yeah! Plants are sssooo expensive! Hedgehogs are adorable!! I really love your gardening logic. I'm excited for you!!🍓🍓🍓🌱🌿🌾🏵☘
Keep the Honey Suckle almost overly watered in summer, they tend to dry out easily. Yes they smell amazing aling with lavender, jasmine and rosemary :).
I absolutely love how you're changing things up. Can't wait until you start doing canning videos 😁
@relik0fages. 😉
Been working on my garden too!!! Also what I've done about pests eating my strawberries and tomatoes is after the flower is transitioning to fruit, is to tie a mesh baggie around the soon to be fruit, and that has helped me a lot.
I'm an avid gardener and I grow most things from seed to save money. Good luck with your garden!
Good luck with your gardening adventure! It can get quite expensive, yes. But you can get second hand equipment, and (free) plant cuttings from people you know. It takes some patience before they'll be as big as in the gardening centre, but they'll get there!
Also, be patient with the fence covering, it might take longer than you think. I have a metal fence with ivy plants, which were planted last year. People said the fence would be covered in no time, because ivy grows so fast, but I still have no privacy at all in my garden. I'm thinking it might take another 2-3 years before I get some good coverage. So please keep that in mind!
Gardener here. The strawberries will send out runners you won't need to buy more next year you will need more hangers. If you have slugs deal with them before you plant anything. There are safe baits out there. I live in Australia we can get a bait that is basicly iron so not like the blue green stuff that kills wildlife and pets.
Welcome to the green side. I'm sure you will create a beautiful garden. I highly recommend The Green Witches garden by Arin Murphy-Hiscock. Lots of hints, tips, design ideas and plant suggestions along with their magical associations. Looking forward to garden updates. I'm redesigning my apothecary garden this year, could never be without my herbs ❤
Love this natural (in both ways) video, I could have watched hours of it and you carry on talking for England 🏴 we’re proud of you. 👍 ❤
here's ur gold star girl. 🌟 you've earned it!!
Welcome to the Green Side! 😅 Gardens and Books.... such a lovely couple of ways to spend all our money.😅😊 Green Blessings on that little garden of yours. Maybe when you plant it the hedgehogs will come and bless it with their cuteness!
Congratulations on your garden. Sounds like it’s going to be just wonderful!
Ha! I also remember my family growing strawberries and live just off a freeway, I really want that pink faerie lavender, thanks for the video!
I have an organic Food & Medicinal garden plus plenty of containers. Its my place where I connect and ground. I hope you are successful, your space is decent for a backyard oasis
Also adult dungarees are the GOAT
I'm in my third year gardening! I love this idea!!! (Still in the intro. lol)
Sounds so fun and cozy! I wish you the best of luck with your garden plans! :) It is always exciting planning a garden
Absolutely love this for you darling😊
You will love the honeysuckle! You can nip the bottoms off the flowers and get a drop or two of nectar from them as well
Hi Hearth, as a plant lover I know you will love it. I know you love books and a good gardening book will be a great inspiration and help to give great advice. I love your videos and style. I feel it fair to warn you gardening is addictive. It is cheaper to get seeds or small plants and Pi terest is fab for diys , including planters and homemade concrete bits. I wish you all the best and can not wait to see your witchy garden evolve. ❤🐈🐈⬛
My shaded apartment balcony is simply not suited for gardening. I've tried. However, being that I've finally decided to start saving for a house (fingers crossed), I might have something resembling a backyard in about five years and I still want to try my hand at gardening then. One of the things I am looking into doing in preparation for this is composting my own soil in a bucket using food scrapes. You can find information on that on RUclips quite easily!
Love the garden vlog! Don't want to stick my nose when its nog my business. Honeysuckle is lovely and great but likes the shade in our garden... So it did not great at the job of climbing and giving us privacy. So we have her a companion ivy and that is great. Now honeysuckle gets more shade and ivy is green in winter so we have more privacy. And i consider ivy also as a witchy plant also it does not really dit your criteria of eating or smelling nice. But butterflies really like the flowers of ivy... So well i like it... Do what you want with this idea. ❤
