Two positive story’s from Bangor,Northern Ireland. Last year, Mum died ,leaving a beautiful Discovery apple tree in our family home of 56 years, which had to be sold. I tried everything from taking cuttings etc. The tree was too big to move. So,I’ve just planted my own Discovery apple tree. Also , for the first time, I have success with ginger. It was planted 20/1 and I have three plants. Happy spring everyone and lovely to see you back.
Lovely video; thank you. I felt that same rush of excitement getting back outside…when you were looking around, repeating “it’s SO good to be back!”, taking deep breaths of the fresh air and smiling non-stop!! Such a wonderful feeling; we survived another winter!🌱🌱🌱 Watching from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada 💖🇨🇦
Great video. Great to see you back. We're mid March now and still thick mud and torrential rain. We have puddles in our garden. 😢 Potato say sounds great. Lovely to see something local and independent. Your hellebores are truly stunning and a brave Robin. Hoping we all have a lovely spring. Jane
Weather has been terrible this year. Wales gets so much rain but nothing like this year. Nice to get back in the garden though. hellebores are incredible Katrina. great video
It’s been a depressing winter where I live also. Way too many very cold and windy days. Finally we get the occasional sunny warm day. It inspires me to start the spring garden plan. Thanks for sharing your awakening garden and the welcoming Robin !
Welcome back, hasn't this winter been wet, windy etc here too in West Sussex ! It's water logged at my Allotment, as there's a spring running through it, but I am enjoying the odd sunny day up there, tidying the greenhouse and potting up strawberry plants from runners 🍓my potatoes are chitting and I've got some new raspberry plants to plant!
It's been 2 years since I've moved into my new garden and its been slow-going in setting up!! Weather...finances...and acquiring human help all has played a factor in getting things done!1 It's only just now that I'm just starting to set it all up!! Life huh?? WOW!! That Robin was super cute and close!! Really friendly!!
Such huge, beautiful Hellabores! Yes, please do a separate video on these lovely plants … would love to know more about how you care for yours, trimming, fertilizing, etc.
I never do well during winter. I live alone with my dog and its very lonely, especially in the long dark evenings, so im sooooooooo excited for the upcoming weeks/months. I hope we have a better spring than last year.. I was out in my garden today. I grow veg and fruit in my back garden. I planted a new Peach tree in a huge pot. Im so excited to see it blossom 🌸 and hopefully i will get some peaches. I also planted my new rhubarb plant. Its also a Timperly Red.. Its 2 years old apparently, so wont ba able to harvest this year 😞 slso got a new gooseberry bush to plant out. Im going to train it up a fence. I adore Hellebores. Ive now got 7 plants. All fairly new, but looking forward to seeing them grow.. I have a few beautiful flowers too... Potatoes in soon 😊
Love the sound of your robins and they are so cute, we don’t have them where I live. Looking forward to seeing your plot in full spring glory and abandon. I’ve been growing Potato Onions and they are very prolific in my garden (Mediterranean climate) and I get decent sized onions. I just save some for replanting next year. Supposed to be stronger than shallots but milder than onions.
Southern UK here and robins will immediately start watching you if you start disturbing the ground. They're supposedly territorial but we often get 2 or 3 at a time. They'll sometimes take mealworms from your hand. UK's favourite bird for a reason.
Your hellebores are looking lovely! I have some at my allotment that were planted in the last year or two, and are now covered in flowers. I also have snowdrops in flower, but the tulips are being munched by deer.
I'm jealous of the cute little robins you have in the UK. American robins are much bigger and will often knock the eggs out of different birds nests here in the US
Your potato day how wonderful. This needs to be more wide spread across the nation. Fantastic. I get fantastic seed pots from my allotment shop that are as cheap as chips. 👍🏻. Glad to see you back.
What a lovely video thanks for sharing on this grey day. The Robin, what a special moment. David Austin is worth a visit went last year, I also enjoyed RHS Hyde Hall. Pleased to say finally qualified and received my certificate in level 2 Practical Horticulture in December. Your inspiration pushed me to go back to college, so thank you for sharing your videos. Glad to see you back.😊
Great video, glad you are back on the plot. So much to do at this time of year and yeah its been soooo wet this year! As I was watching couldn't help noticing the fences - I tend to grow peas up the fences having created a boarder for the peas to get transplanted once germinated and are around 6 inch tall (I sow into guttering and the slide the peas into the bed). Using the fences then means I have the usual beds for other veg. Looking forward to seeing how your year comes along.
So lovely to See you back. Isn't it a great time of year so full of promise 😊 I'm growing some onions (exotic ones can't remember the name will look it up and report back 😊) hence from seed not sets but I think these are going to be so tasty if they germinate 🙏🤞
If you are still thinking of doing Patreon, a benefit for those who sign up could be exclusive videos of your visits to show gardens. Many of your viewers live abroad like in USA, Scotland, 😄etc and would never get the chance to visit these special places. Another idea is offering your favourite recipes based on your allotment produce. Food for thought. Great to see you back!
spot on Kat, Grow what you eat not eat what you grow. this year I'm growing about 10 varieties of tomato which next year will be about 3 or 4 Vars but more of them and that will allow me to dedicate some space to the Melons I want to grow. if the worst comes to the worst you can grow your shallots in pots 1ltr if you want small pickling ones or 2ltr for bigger shallots😊
Lovely to see you back and see your garden. I always learn something and make a couple of notes! I'm loving my helibores too and all the spring flowers x
Hi Kat, what a lovely video and doesn’t Spring just lift you? Your hellebores are amazing this year. I’m trying to grow onions from seed this year for the first time and they are looking good so far. I’ll keep you posted how they get on 😊
Nice to see you back,! Please don’t forget to keep feeding your wild birds and bring Mr Robin some meal worms when you come, plus a piece of pear or apple ! Greetings from Zimbabwe
It's comforting to see spring somewhere - we've got at least another month to go before I can go back to the allotment, the ground is still frozen and spring seems to be a long way away. It's good to see you enjoy your spring!
So good to have you back too 💚 Adore all your Hellebores 😍 My bargain bin Hellebore has started to bloom and it’s so beautiful, really thought she was a goner.
Good to hear from you again, out of hibernation! Monday was also a beautiful Spring-like day down here in Hampshire. Birdsong, bees and warm sun as days get longer. I am in the process of rebuilding a large greenhouse that we got as a bargain and cannot wait to get sowing! Wishing you an enjoyable and abundant growing season!
How lovely to see an update from you. Those brambles looked very brutal. My least favourite job is cutting those back. The weather here has been quite horendous as well. Its wonderful to feel the uplifting effect of a bright warmer day for your mind body and soul. Your hellebores are amazing. Thank you for sharing :-)
Welcome back, we have missed you. The hellebores are beautiful, have put a couple in my garden in Cornwall. Have cut back my autumn fruiting raspberries which were amazing last year still have one bag left in the freezer . That little robin is gorgeous, we have two which we now feed off our hand in the garden . Looking forward to seeing your next video soon .💕
Great to see you back, here in Australia weather has been wild, my tomatoes are not happy . It can be disheartening. Looking forward to seeing your garden happy again 😊🌿
A lovely NGS garden to visit near you is 334 Belper Road, Stanley Common, open 18th May and 9th June this year. Excellent cakes too if you needed an extra reason to visit.
Hello love so good to see you today! You are getting some good work done today. You must be feeling better now because you do look so happy and smiling right along. I am looking forward to seeing you regular again. I do see many of the flowers in my garden are a direct result of watching you! I am hoping to grow enough tomatoes that I can can / store enuf to last me the year. So fewer new varieties and a bit more of a production of the tried and true varieties. Hope to see your husband a bit here and there esp if you want to have him taste test chilies again. Take care thank you for this video today!! Steven
It was and still is very wet here with a lot of rain. Storm "Louis" is currently blowing over our country. Hopefully the weather will be a lot better in March. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Aww so nice to see you back kat. Yup IV felt the same too over winter. IV been busy in my garden, digging up shrubs and moving them and just generally faffing around. 😂
I just got an allotment in Nottingham , looking forward to first time growing . Great inspiration looking forward to more tips , the apple tree vid was very helpful.
Arhhh how funny, I'd thought about you only today 🙂 taking inspiration from you to get out in my garden. David Austin is beautiful in June. I live not far from Hidcote, so worth a visit.
Always good to have a break Katrina, even if it's weather related. And it's great to see you back! More garden tours! Are you going to allow your husband the honour of wielding a chainsaw to help remove the dead tree? Mr Robin looks to have the same markings as the robin you gave a large worm to last year not that he seemed to know what the huge wriggling thing was. Down here (Christchurch, New Zealand, Southern hemisphere) it's moving towards late summer, the days are already marginally shorter but we've been very dry, warm and windy, which has caused multiple large fires which have stretched the local fire brigades. My corn is ready to pick, and being corn it's probably ALL ready, while my 'early girl' tomatoes are ripening quite quickly. Although in saying that my 'snack peppers' seem to be taking awhile to change. It's just me why do things have to change so quickly for this boy!
Big jobs don’t necessarily need men with big tools! I just handled the ivy stump with just a hand saw and some brute strength 💪 Sounds like you’re having a great growing season! 🌽 🍅
It’s my second year on my allotment so this years goals are to do exactly the same as before, but with hopefully less weeds because I’ve worked so hard on removing grass and bindweed noodles. I’m not naive to think I’ve removed all of them but I know I’ve given them a headache!
The last hellebore you showed us on the outro was stunning, do you know what one that is, 29:42 on the vid, I have hellebores that I inherited when I moved in but would love to get hold of that one?
This is one I bought from Ashwood Nursery and is only described as one of their own hybrids as part of their breeding trails. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it on their website and so i think it was a bit of a one off type run. Take a look at hellebore Double Ellen Picotee - she’s pretty similar!
welcome back! you're gonna have a great year! the garden plot looks good to go! you sound positive and confident, and already have a jump on things, the momentum has started, keep it up!
My dad grew a lovely Discovery apple tree in our family home which sadly had to be sold, so I took some apples from it and grew a tree from the seed, I get beautiful blossom on it every spring which reminds me of my dad, sadly it will never have big apples on it as you need the tree to be grafted, but it’s a great memory too have
Your hellebore are amazing and I'm rather envious! I have several plants in my cottage garden here in Wales but a gang of unruly pheasants have decided to call my garden home and nip off every emerging bud! Great to have you back on RUclips
Bit of a long way from you is Chartwell in Kent ... AMAZING garden. A bit closer is Peckover House Gardens in Wisbech, north Cambs/Norfolk border, lovely garden behind the house. I love your allotment and the sentiments you expressed about getting back to basics and growing what you love! Yay!❤❤ happy springtime 🎶
What a nice surprise to see you're back. How are the fish.? It's been really wet here where I live too. I started watching the National Garden Scheme channel in 2020, hope they feature more gardens again. Potatoes...I planted some a couple yrs ago, not knowing what I was doing, I planted them upside down. Thinking the eyes were the roots 🙄 I bought German butter balls to try this yr, coming from German ancestors, made prefect sense to me.
My Onions are huge this year compared to last. Started these sweet Onions from seed. Those ,Potatoes, and Carrots are my favorite to grow. Was looking yesterday for a new video from you.
Like yourself, I love Hellebores, 2 weeks ago I went to Ashwood Nurseries and this older man was walking around with 2 collies thanking people he met for coming to John's Garden, he stopped to talk to us and I asked him who he was, to my surprise, he said John. I was like a young girl meeting her favourite pop star, I even said to him, THE John?, he smiled and gave a slight nod. Great day. Same as you, my hellebores are covered in blooms and are huge. Great to see you back.
@@homegrowngarden Yes, even went into the hellebore tunnel. Beautiful cherry tree in full bloom, wild life garden with bird hide . Gardens are right on the canal, all the spring flowers are out .also has labels on most of the plants, well worth a visit, lots to see. Very peaceful, only myself, husband and another couple there on the Saturday we went. Will go back early summer, I'm sure you'd love it. One of the gardens I'd like to visit this year is Beth Chatto's. Happy gardening.
Welcome back to the jungle Katrina. Lol. I'm trying seed shallots this year , a variety called Elista as recommended by Dan from Allotment Diary. I'm sowing Red Sun and Golden Gourmet regular shallots from my own stock.
Nice to see you again me lovely 😊😊😊 just to see your cheerful face! Hope your plot drys off so you can shoot more content for us! You're inspirational! ❤❤❤⚘️⚘️⚘️ Congratulations on getting married 🥰🥰
Being in Eastern Canada it is so nice to live vicariously through your channel while it is -15 outside here! I can't wait for spring this year too. I try to enjoy winter, but it has not been a nice one here. I am curious if anyone else from Canada has any good sources for hellebores here. They seem to be a bit harder to find, but I would love to add a few to my garden.
So glad to see you and your spirit guide robin back together at the allotment!😄

Nice to see you motivated and smiling. Look forward to seeing the transformation over the coming weeks / months.
Great video. Great to see you back. We're mid March now and still thick mud and torrential rain. We have puddles in our garden. 😢

Wow great to see all the work you've been up to on the plot. Those Hellebores of yours always do look fantastic
Weather has been terrible this year. Wales gets so much rain but nothing like this year. Nice to get back in the garden though. hellebores are incredible Katrina. great video
Haven't watched the video yet but smiled with joy to see you've uploaded and a whole thirty minutes?! Yes!
Yes to visiting more gardens! Longwood and Chanticleer are two in my area of the US, but we have lots more.
Your helebores are spectacular, what a stunning display they put on at a time of year when things can look a bit grey.
WOW!!!! All that beautiful green and flowers!!!! LOVE!!!

Garden work is so exciting prep for spring, love the hellebores. Would love to hear the names. Put seed out to bring more birds,
Hellebores are looking great!
Hellebores are looking superb….

Happy New Year. So glad to see you again. It’s just like seeing the first crocus in bloom.
It's full on spring here in Texas even though there's still about 3 weeks to go before last frost!
Your hellebores are looking lovely! I have some at my allotment that were planted in the last year or two, and are now covered in flowers. I also have snowdrops in flower, but the tulips are being munched by deer.

Great inspirational video, thanks. I must get to my allotment to finish the heating. Your Hellebores are fabulous, again inspiring me!!
I think hellibores are an amazing flower! One of my favorites. Thanks for showing us around!
Wow!! What a lovely surprise.
Have missed you.
So happy you are back.

Hello 👋
Nice to see you
I like your English garden 😊
Good time on it in printemps, it means easter 😅
Hello! Thanks for watching 😁
Too true. It really has been a long cold, dark, and wet winter. I still can't get into my garden, it's like a quagmire.
Good to see you back Katrina 💖
Good to take a break. Good to see you back.
I just got an allotment in Nottingham , looking forward to first time growing . Great inspiration looking forward to more tips , the apple tree vid was very helpful.
Potato sold out so quick this year , I was to late as my lad had football training 😢
Hooray! All is well with the world. Glad to see you back and rolling along. Those hellebore are lovely. 🙂
You have a soothing voice haha
Such early spring in the UK - Swedish jealousy!
lovely to have you back katrina

Ah you're back! 👍How is your water feature doing?
It’s my second year on my allotment so this years goals are to do exactly the same as before, but with hopefully less weeds because I’ve worked so hard on removing grass and bindweed noodles. I’m not naive to think I’ve removed all of them but I know I’ve given them a headache!
You’ve just reminded me of my nemesis areas of ground elder and bind weed. I really must do something about it my strawberry patches…
My goal is to get better at succession planting and to figure out broccoli which I have yet to master.

@@homegrowngarden Yes, even went into the hellebore tunnel. Beautiful cherry tree in full bloom, wild life garden with bird hide . Gardens are right on the canal, all the spring flowers are out .also has labels on most of the plants, well worth a visit, lots to see. Very peaceful, only myself, husband and another couple there on the Saturday we went. Will go back early summer, I'm sure you'd love it. One of the gardens I'd like to visit this year is Beth Chatto's. Happy gardening.
Welcome back to the jungle Katrina. Lol.
I'm trying seed shallots this year , a variety called Elista as recommended by Dan from Allotment Diary. I'm sowing Red Sun and Golden Gourmet regular shallots from my own stock.
Nice to see you again me lovely 😊😊😊 just to see your cheerful face! Hope your plot drys off so you can shoot more content for us! You're inspirational!

Congratulations on getting married 🥰🥰
Hey what is this? The beautiful Kat, some shed DIY and Mr Robin too, all in one video. And spring is coming. Life is good eh?
Being in Eastern Canada it is so nice to live vicariously through your channel while it is -15 outside here! I can't wait for spring this year too. I try to enjoy winter, but it has not been a nice one here. I am curious if anyone else from Canada has any good sources for hellebores here. They seem to be a bit harder to find, but I would love to add a few to my garden.
