Many thanks and hugs to Catherine for sharing her bouts of anxiety. I suffer from anxiety and find her videos to be 'grounding' and have a calming effect on me. Her confession probably helped 1,000 people realize they are not alone. Big hugs to you both! 🌻🥀🌻
You're absolutely right, I bet it helped so many people xx
"We might think we our nurturing our garden, but of course it is our garden that is really nurturing us" 👩🌾🥰🌻🌱 keep doing what you love ladies 😊
Loving these chats. I’m sitting out in the garden with a glass of wine enjoying listening to this. I’m listening on my headphones and giggling away so I’m sure my neighbours are wondering wtf I’m laughing at but I don’t care 😂 you ladies are a tonic!
Side note: I actually love the sound of saws, wood working etc. My daddy use to do weekend projects and knowing he was home and making projects was my safe sounds. I relax at night by watching people build cabins. It helps me calm down enough to sleep.
You are a pair of diamonds on the you-tube channel, and we can feel the friendship and love between you two, so nice to see 🥰
Aw I'm so glad you guys can see it!
Love the garden chats. Feels like hanging with friends in the garden.
Agh thanks for the chats Bridie. Next time, no large coffees and jitters 😆😆😆
Noooooooo more large coffees!!!
Keep sharing the love, that’s what keeps me coming back 💕
I love listening to Midsomer Murder. If i have house work to do or painting a room, listening to something you have seen it's great.
When it comes to the garden, you will never get it right , there are soooo many ways to do the same thing, so just do what works for you. I was given a shed last July... I finished it last week. I didn't have the money to finish it sooner. But now i see it and love the way it looks. These videos are so good. You both should be so proud of yourselves, you are brave girls for sure. Xx
Oh you two are a breath of fresh air. Love the way you purposely mispronounce plant names. Don’t ever change ladies your amazing. Thank you your just what we all need 💕💕. Have a great week
You two are just the best, like a breath of fresh air and anyone who srnds you nasty comments is the one with the problem. You both give us great content and i wouldn't miss either of you for the world. You both tell it like it is and we see the mistakes and laugh with you.
I am in my 60s but you lovely girls make me feel young again.
Thanks to you both for all you do for all your subscribers and be sure it's all appreciated xxx❤
Gardening is a constant learning experience. There is always something more we can learn or try differently. It would be good to have as much knowledge to draw on a trained horticulturist but even they would be trying new things and learning. The plant world is so big I don't think anyone would know everything.
I enjoyed your chat . It was fun, interesting and went quickly so that says it all 🌻
I also love wandering around my garden when thinking things through and it is always calming.
I absolutely love your chats…it feels like you brought me along for a visit. Your friendship is priceless. Happy gardening. I hope you have a great holiday coming up.
The wellness chat is so spot on. For me I've placed herbs throughout so when I do a little wellness lap of my garden I rub the leaves and get all the different smells. Definitely the act of touching the plants too just calms me so much. I absolutely use my garden as a wellness exercise and I find it so so powerful. Like you say it activates all the senses and real grounds you ❤
I love this idea so much and I think this winter, I'm going to take time to plan out little areas for that exact purpose!
You two are a riot, especially the bit about plant pronunciation. “It's leviOsa, not levioSA!” kept running through my mind. I too deal with anxiety and have for years, gardening has given me such peace, works wonders when someone gets under your skin too. Thank you ladies for another lovely chat! 🌷
Thank you so much for tge lovely visit. I truly believe you are so rich when you can sit in the garden with your friend.
I use to get massive depression and suicidal thoughts along with anxiety. When it got so bad i couldn't walk because i was shaky and dizzy. I would literally crawl to my garden grab handfuls of soil and lay in the grass. I needed more than delicate flowers i needed hardy handfuls of soil!!! God bless you both with peace and joy. 🕊🫒
Awww ya’ll are just so sweet. Thank you for being real and oversharing 😊 We all have issues/anxieties we have to overcome so don’t feel alone or feel bad for that happening while you were recording. ❤ the garden is the best medicine - as is friends and laughter
I could honestly watch you ladies all day long … you are my therapy and help me heaps and the gardening is fabulous. I have a best friend that gardens with me and we have some much fun . Thank you for all you do .
Bec from Australia xxx
I love you guys friendship. The love of garden ❤
You ladies are the most amazing people ever. I just sit here laughing , crying and enjoying a conversation feeling like I’m right there with you both. I wish I could join in. So many great thoughts and ideas with two beautiful ladies. Hi from Ontario Canada
Omg! Love the Chit Chat. Love the hustle from the both of you. Catherine thank you for introducing me to Karen. I was never a plant / garden person. Now I'm building a huge backyard planter. The inspiration of what the garden will look like NEXT year makes me feel better about my journey.
Nature is the best medicine for anyone's sole and mind.
Great video
Ladies, keep being true to yourselves and doing what you love because you are great!! I thoroughly enjoy both of your channels and when you are together it"s like double prizes!!
thank you for the chat 😊 it's like a Sunday get together with friends 🌻🌿🌾
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching x
You both are so sweet and funny. It is very relaxing to watch the two of you together and visiting your gardens. ❤❤
Nothing beats chats with your bestie and I love getting to be a fly on the wall for yours.
Thanks for joining us xx
Oh my I’ve watched this twice already because you both giggle so much it lifts my spirits x thank you xxx You also raise such valid points re anxiety and the other side of you tube, fascinating x Can’t wait for your holiday video xxx
I absolutely love this and I wish it wasn’t so much work to edit because I would love to see these every week! Maybe we can find you gals an editor. 😍😍😍😍
I love these chats. I hope you do them every month😊 Regarding peonies, I live in Toronto, Canada and get many blooms. They love a very cold winter. People in moderate climates actually place ice on the plant during winter. Cheers ❤ 🇨🇦
Thank you for a lovely video. It was like having a few friends over.
😊xx
Hello Dears ❤❤ I simply love your chitchats. I was so happy to see that it is 1,5 hours long.. they are just way to short otherwise. And I love seeing you two interact. It is wonderful and just so much fun. A podcast would just not be the same. I agree with the changing of humans' behaviour. And i must unfortunately say, it is not just online anymore. One has indeed to be careful what one shares.. online and offline. There is often not much sense of community and supporting each other anymore and cheering each other on. There is often so much drama and negativity nowadays. Since i cant change other people i can only work on not letting that get to me and be a kind person whatsover. I have found Catherine's channel a year or so ago and love every one of her videos and since she shared your account, i started watching yours too. And i love yours just as much. No matter what the topic it never gets boring. I am always looking forward to your and Catherin's videos or instagram posts. Your personality is also just as wonderful. No wonder you two became such good friends. I adore people who love gardening and stick to getting better at it. I do not have a green thumb at all and due to several chronic illnesses i am just not able to be consistent about caring for plants and keeping them alive and thriving. But i sure love watching you doing it. Just watching gives me a peace of mind already. I love nature. I just moved into a rented flat in an old farmhouse on a lovely dead-end-street end of last year. There are trees and greenery in the front and back yard. And it's the first time i got a balcony. I just started using it after making it pretty. Sitting on my balcony and listening to the rustling of leaves, watching birds flying around and listening to them is my piece of heaven right there. I wanna get a few flower pots for the balcony soon. I don't give up trying thanks to you both. I just wanna say a big THANK YOU for all you do and all you share. Lots of love from Germany ❤❤❤
Loved sitting in with this chitchat, thank you so much. You’re completely correct, we do have too many tabs open in our minds, that’s a perfect analogy. Catherine, I love that your Mum only has a brick phone, reads the paper and watches murder mysteries, can we all go back to that please (except for watching gardening youtube channels!)
Hi you two. I love these little chats, the calming affect of your gardens is so real. I had some health problems a couple of years ago and started having the panic and anxiety attacks the sitting in the garden and counting really helps. I did have a serious surgery and am totally great now. But just sitting in the garden for even a few minutes felt so good. Please keep sharing you both are so sweet and real. Thank you Mary from California
Aw Mary, I'm so glad you're doing well now. Aren't we so lucky to have our gardens for those few moments of solitude?
Woohooo!!! It's Sunday chats.... kettle is on, im ready... go!....
Enjoy!
Girls, it was wonderful, can not wait for the next one🙋🏼♀️🌸🪴🌻.
Thanks for the honesty, giggles and insights 🙂Your weed looks a bit like oats 🚜 (hard to tell on a screen), so you could definitely have porridge. I had some in an old garden of mine. Can't wait to hear about your trip and for next month's chats 🥰
Love these chats! Thanks for keeping it real and for the laughter!
Re: the comment about purchasing ladybugs - it's kind of a waste unless you have a polytunnel as it's not like they understand property boundaries once you let them loose. Lol. Better to plant plants that attract them into your garden naturally. Also, the clay pot watering thingie you were talking about is called an Oya. You can also get clay water spouts that screw on like a lid onto a large plastic bottle (or whatever size you have handy) and you shove them into the soil and it does essentially the same thing as the Oya - slowly releases the water deep in the soil. Lastly, just confirming that you can use all parts of the Nasturtium plant - the flowers are great on salads and soups - anywhere you want a little peppery kick (borage flowers are also edible and great in salads and on cakes). The seeds can be pickled and the leaves make great chips - like kale chips, only better. Lol.
Thank you so much for that!I think I'll definitely need an Oya if we get another heatwave!
I just love you two...you both are wonderful.
You two are so much fun. Thanks for the chit chat. And yes, gardens are truly places of peace. I´m so curious what you two are doing next month. Love from Germany 💕
I agree that people need to chill and leave people's personal life personal. Share what you love and people should love you for that!! Your chats are priceless!! Love your friendship and fun!! 😍❤️
Thank goodness for us setting boundaries! Thanks for watching xxx
Great chat. Like hanging out and totally get lots of useful ideas and information. Most importantly fun and laughter 😂. The neighbors are certainly busy, saws and trimmers galore 😊. Laughter is the best medicine
They were out in force that day! Thanks for watching xx
The two of you are so darling! When you bring someone into your garden, introduce it as “your therapist”. Take care sweeties 🧚♀️😊❤️🐝🌺
I love your chats and getting to know you two. I enjoy the behind the scenes. To your viewers, it seems like you just spent a couple of hours puttering in the garden. Or refurbishing an end table. It is so fascinating to find details about how you have to plan the content, filming, editing, etc. love this
Ladies just keep doing what you are doing i have been watching and smiling and inspired everytime sadly some humans live to be bitter so leave them to it and you ladies carry on i watch because i relate to what you say all the way 😊 it like sitting with friends and chatting with a bonus of learning new things xx
Yay, I finally got to watch all of this. I feel like you two are Dr Ying and Dr Yang. Those random things you do and say and scare the crap out of each other.
No trauma going to the garden center. I loved it when Karen said that some bloke said " just go to the garden center " and she said "ok" this was on Karen's last video, that was hysterical. We all relate to you girls because you are like we were when we were younger, some of us are still like that. Karen you show us that we're not the only one that buy plants imagine them in the garden and hello weeks later " shit I think it's dead but I'll plant it anyway ". ♥ from Australia.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who buys plants and then forgets to actually plant them! Lots of love to you in Australia Bridget!
I truly love listening to the both of you. Such a valuable conversation. Thank you for all that you do as individuals to bring such pleasure 🙏🏻 I , myself, find that I do not message too frequently because I realise how valuable your time is to actually have a relatively normal day. I enjoy watching the channels that you both have, because my gardening skills are very similar. I call it my gambling habit. Sometimes the plants live and sometimes they don't. It costs a considerable amount to garden, let alone the effort and dealing with weather conditions 😅
My weather conditions are somewhat similar at the moment. We did have a 10yr (or more) drought that has wonderfully ended and so now I can plant more. I have over one acre of garden and it keeps expanding 😅 I am truly fortunate to be where I am.
By the way, did you notice the pretty bird that is in the film clip at 1:26:28 it is totally at home ❤
Love to you both from country Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Lovely chat. Lots of giggles and therapy 😊 Be well.
Ladys ❤😂you are so easygoing I love your chats in the garden so funny and your garden are so nice have fun
Oh girls I enjoyed that chatty video so much. Thank you. I've watched the lot when I was going to watch the start before going to bed 😂 I too love to sit in the garden with a cuppa and chill.
Glad you enjoyed it! Next one is coming on Sunday on Catherine's channel!
Bountiful garden tour ✔ Fun chat with friends ✔ Positive garden vibes ✔ Grand job, thank you both 🌻
Much love ladies🤗. No one has expressed better why I watch crime movies, series etc. My mind takes a break from my thoughts. You are a wonderful friend and blessed to have each other. Enjoyed the tour of Catherine's Garden. Love from California 🦋
Thank you so much for watching!
Just love listening to you both and following you- it feels like being part of a family. Unfortunately those people who have to criticise, find fault or be nasty, I feel sadly that is who they are - happiness starts from within and if they are not happy it creeps out of them and can become quite poisonous.
That's exactly it. Happy people don't troll or be nasty xxx
What an insightful and lively chat. You ladies keep it up as long as it makes you happy. Love from Indiana!
I love watching both of you individually but i love watching you chitty chats and you bring me so much joy and laughter!!!!!!
This was the watch I needed this evening, thankyou for helping me unwind while stitching this evening
I love all your vlogs and girly chats 💕 I was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms when I couldn’t find anything I hadn’t watched already. I’m the same kind of gardener but my mobility has decreased because of arthritis. I love your energy and look forward to all you both do. Well done girls 🌺🌸💞
I love you girls so much! I learn a lot from you guys and I feel blessed to have found you both. ❤
Beautiful garden, thanks for the tour. Thanks for sharing about gardening as therapy! I totally agree!! Great chat, loved it!
Love you two, you are my therapy ❤❤❤
Ah thanks Kay!
so pleased you done these chit chat's i am loving them 🥰
I love your friendship ❤
Love your chat gals!
😄I’m one of the subscribers that has subscribed cause of your garden vids
Not the beauty. Vids So that’s fab wee garden bits. ! 🥰 but it’s your enthusiasm and natural humour and passion for what you do! That makes channel for me 😊
No words for how much I enjoy these videos! ❤️😊
Karen, I have suffered from motion sickness my whole life. I now take ginger capsules 500 mg and works like charm. Worked for Native American and works for me
Enjoyed watching this video 💐😊 love watching you two together 😂 you certainly are a therapy xxxx
Ah thank you so much for watching!
I follow you both and really love your chats together, I grab a coffee and get comfy. i have to stop myself responding to something you both say as Im watching you both not actually with you.
You have certainly inspired me to get out in the garden.
Have a great trip.
From Australia
I hope you got really comfy as this was a movie length video!!
0oh my goodness, best therapy session ever, both of You Ladies are amazing....I watched the video during my lunch hour and on my way home, was sooo relaxing n happy vibes....looking forward for next session 😊 till next time n sending lots of Blessings 💗💗💗
Have a lovely week!
I would love to see you two working together in each other’s gardens.
Ladies, love your channels and your chats. Hey, just a note about insulation, at least the kind we have in the US. It keeps heat inside in winter but also keeps cool air in in the summer. But, most people here have some sort of air conditioning so not sure if you don’t have that. 😊
Oh just love your chats 😊
You two are brilliant together,I laughed out loud😅😅brighten my day.
So glad you enjoyed it Anna!
Love your chats❤enjoyed looking around your garden .
Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately some people think they actually know you and can say whatever they want. At least you can block the undesirables. Lovely chat girls 👍👍
I love (at night) Midsomer Murders, Murder She Wrote, Brokenwood Mysteries, Hanna and anything Agatha Christie. I can relate. 😊
Love love these chats ...i get totally engrossed
Ah thank you! The next instalment is coming on Catherine's channel on Sunday!
Cauliflower is any easy and satisfying grow for winter. Also, kale and mustard greens. I’ve always wanted to try artichoke. The artichoke plant is just so cool! Love the chats!
Ladies, Blessings always, you are so good for each other. May God bless you both always 🦋
Thank you! You too!
Love this! so down to earth love your garden just my style
You would die laughing reading the auto English subtitles that pop up while you girls were doing the garden stroll before you sat to chat. I had to turn it off because it was so distracting.
I used pea straw under my strawberry plants to keep the fruit off the soil. But the pea straw was scattered with seeds, which promptly grew as soon as I watered the plants. I spent hours weeding the grasses out of the straw.
There have been lots of complaints last spring because one of the commercial compost makers had loads of weeds grow from their compost. Gardeners were complaining out loud.
I can only imagine what the subtitles were! That's interesting re the commercial compost makers, I felt like I was growing lots of weeds last year for sure!
I'm so sorry that you both get haters. If people don't like a video they can just jog on, there's no need. I love you both x I'm in the UK and love watching gardens in my climate too.
Lots of love to you in Yorkshire!
Please keep being you and sharing. And yes, I find calm outdoors. I appreciate your and Catherine’s chats; honesty, kindness and natural.
Thank you so much for watching xxx
Fab video as always girls! Always enjoy the chitty chats! 🌱🙃
So glad you like them!
Just love your garden, so beautiful. I really want some eucalyptus :) xx
love you girls
Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I’m just a RUclips watcher! I couldn’t or wouldn’t do what you two do. THANK YOU!
I enjoy your sharing. Your passions are beautiful.
Thanks a million for watching xx
I don’t understand why people say not nice things in the comments. And say what the you tuber is doing wrong, which is just the commenters opinion! These as things I believe they would not say in person. I so appreciate all the work you both put into coming up with content for your videos. I enjoy them so much.
Loving 🥰 these videos, just bit behind with these ❤
Thank you so much for these garden chats, ladies! I love feeling as if we're all sitting down in Ireland having great conversation & many laughs among friends.
We'll being Ireland to you in our videos!
Insulation will keep the heat in in Winter but will keep it cooler in Summer.
You two have just kept me company while I have been painting my porch. I hate painting but the time has flown by thanks to your lovely girly chat.Just love you two xxx
So glad to have kept you company!
You two are just beautiful ❤. I love your brightness. Bless you both. Stay fabulous
Thank you so much xxx
Love seeing both your gardens, found your channel from watching Dainty, the chatty videos are great, keep it up ladies 😊
Thanks for coming over from Catherine's channel!
What a lovely video. Adore you both. Also how PERFECT is the position of that Aster while you lovelies were sitting in the chairs?!
I love the pair of you. I always love both of your RUclips. I like seeing week to week how both your gardens are doing.. keep smiling the pair of you . 😊😊😊😊
There a many studies that show that being in out in nature helps with anxiety and is great for self care and relaxation.I have chronic pain and lavender is something that though doesn't cure it, helps with soothing symptoms I have from it. Really like your channel and your chit chats.
As always, so fun to sit with you ladies and a cup of tea. I too have made multiple IG accounts for all the things I'm interested in, it is helpful to target the right audience, connecting with like minded people, but also for you to follow like minded people on each account you have, so your feed is better curated by the algorithm. I'll definitely come follow your garden account with mine! Love connecting with others who are passionate about the same things.
Ah amazing! Yes, I was thinking that hopefully it will help in the algorithm, but who knows what Instagram is up to these days!
You both are a ray of sunshine!!
We got a lawn swing and I absolutely love sitting out there just relaxing and listening to the birds. No worries for that few minutes just to give my mind a break
Can’t wait for the next chit chats😃
Listening to the birds is so soothing and relaxing isn't it?
It's easy to see why you two are friends, your like a pair of bookends! You bounce off each other so well and your garden tips are so helpful ❤
I love that! Absolute bookends among other names!!
thanks so much for another wonderful chat. relaxing, fun - so appreciate you letting us peek in. Love you both
