Thank you and thank you and thank you. Often things seem very dire in the world and your lovely attitude is such a balm to my heart. Watching you putter around the garden and do tiny chores and then talk about the plant sale and remind me what small things we can still do to foster beauty and promote hope has really done a good thing for my soul today.
you're so welcome - more on the plant sale coming up soon x
Always a bright, motivational to help us through the long dark days. Thanks Georgie
you're so welcome x
From the US, here. Thanks for explaining the dead hedge, it really resonates to me. So enjoy your down-to-earth gardening style.
thank you x
Thank you!
I do hope Teacake didn't find anything too stinky to roll in on the gravel when you were weeding. Made me chuckle watching what was going on behind you.
hmmm - i had to give her a bath later x
Oh dear! I thought Teacake was indulging in a spot of self-massage.
Lovely to see you again Georgie. Looking forward to more inspiration xx
ooh we have a goodie coming up soon #tablescape
Great to have you back Gorgie....
thank you xxx
Also love your dead hedge idea. I have a pile but I’m going to try to make an along one too. It’s a great idea.
go for it x
Lemon Tree Trust what a superb set up . !
it's brilliant isn't it x
Georgie you are an inspiration and I smile at least a dozen times every time I watch one of your videos. I’m especially inspired with your charity work idea for May 10! I have a local charity and would love to support them in this way, along with other growers in my area.
brilliant - I'll make a clip about the sale next xxx
Georgie so glad to see you that your back, thought we lost you. 👍🏻👏🏻
not lost - just you know, the flowers from the farm conference and a trip to my parents and and and xxx
Great to read your post today. Thank you.
thank you Lorna x
Love seeing you in the garden planning your seed planting. I too am trying to get mine organized, but also prune my roses and Japanese maples. I can do an hour a day, tops, so 5 minutes seems a great idea. Last year I mulched heavily and hope that will reduce weeding this year. I want to spend more time cutting and arranging flowers. The fun stuff!
i'm a big fan of a good mulch - amazing what a person can do in five focused minutes x
Excellent suggestion! On the dead hedging
Thank you…..
you're so welcome x
Lovely to see your post today 🪻🌷
thank you x
I love the aprons too. I have one that my sister made for me. Also find the 10 minutes thing a very useful strategy. Kudos for your charity idea. I’m involved with some so I appreciate you talking about it .
thank you so much xxx
A fellow gardener in Oklahoma uses boiling water for weeds in gravel and loves how it works. She just takes a teakettle of boiling water and does as many as she can. We just got outside after three weeks of snow/ice cover here in the heartland of Missouri. Here’s to a new growing season
that's a brilliant idea! x thank you x
Yes you do look very gardening chic with your Niwaki took belt:). I have always had a dead hedge behind my black cedars and junipers. During the winter I throw a few scraps in there (apple cores, carrot tops& ends etc). One year I had an entire rabbit family living in amongst all the garden detritus:)-made my year!! I love controlled wildness in a garden. If everything is "just so", it really leaves no room for our little "visitors".
You're so right x
So good to see you, Georgie!
hello! x
Is there any reason for leaving this forum and going to a more complicated platform?
I like the more varied way of posting on Substack. And I can bring in all my newsletter there. The idea is to do less work because I can centralise things on Substack x
Thank you for taking us with you on your flower farm, especially since we are more Northern in New York and still icy cold here. ❤
oh my goodness it felt like spring here today - but it isn't of course and winter can still come to bite us x
Awesome clip and entertainment Georgie….lol plant sale !!
you're so welcome x
By lime are you talking about Tilia platyphyllos? I’m not familiar with this so I googled it… Thanks!
yes that's it x
I love the dead hedge but if I did that at my rental, I would be ordered to clean it up. Australia is not the right place for me. My ancestors came from Clutton in Somerset. I see them walking in ghostly form around your garden, delighting in your activities. Wish I was there. Spring has sprung!🌿
I guess in Australia a dead hedge might be a fire risk? x
❤
Thank you for your updates. Who do you buy your seeds from please?
Judging by the display of seed packets, it’s Chiltern and Higgledy.
you're right Jan though sometimes plants of distinction, Moles seeds, and Kings Seeds too x
@@theflowerfarmer Yes, me too,
I would love to know more about lemon trust but sad you’ve moved to different platform 😰
I haven't moved completely - just moved the club - still posting here. I'll put more about the Lemon Tree Trust in my next clip about the plant sale x
