    Love the white shirt and pearls! You classy thing Georgie and Googie in her party clothes,it’s made me realise if I get dressed up maybe my garden will proliferate too to look like both of your gardens
    Love that song too , I haven’t heard it for ages
    Love the season change videos with Googie - she has been very artistic in spots with her plantings and pots or fence shape .
    Very clever,had to laugh I’ve never planted potatoes either and want to give it a go. But I planted Jerusalem fartachokes in bulk and my friends would run away from my gift baskets , don’t plant more than one or you’ll regret it and maybe loose too many friends lol

    As always Googie is an inspiration! She reminds me of my Grama who gardened into her early 90s. I'm convinced gardening is what keeps us young! Much love to you both xo

  • @carolking6355
    @carolking6355 Год назад +5

    How lucky your mother is to have her health. I am 80 and gardening was my great love since a child. Some years ago I got Sepsis and lost all balance and use of my feet. I am in bed unless my home help can take me out in a wheelchair. Weather permitting. I have to admit to being very envious of this lady. Long May she garden.

    • @theflowerfarmer

      I really feel for you reading this , but at least people like Googie and other gardeners can help you in spirit and bring you Joy however the circumstances , it’s not the same I know , but I pray 🙏 you feel the Joy of it and the memories you have return , all the best ❤️‍🩹

    • @chambielion70
      @chambielion70 5 месяцев назад

      Dearest Carol ,I feel for you as I am in similar circumstances so I understand the frustrations of an avid gardener unable to move freely anymore . Now I get great joy looking at the garden I started over 30yrs ago and have mature trees to look at but oh dear no more raking Autumn leaves or planting out beloved seedlings .Now the joy comes from watching the native birds return ( I live in a small town by the sea in NewZealand ) to make their homes in the mature trees and eating the various fruit in season .I hope you have good things to look at to refresh your spirit .❤

    It’s perfect timing to showcase your wonderful mother as it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday here in the States. My mom is the same age and unfortunately suffering from dementia. I wish she was as spry as your mom in her golden years but instead of raising flowers and veggies, she raised nine of us. I think we wore her out. 😊 Happy Mother’s Day. 🎉Cheers to moms everywhere!

    Wow I’m so impressed how healthy and agile she is . I recently went really hard and expanded my gardens and flowers i over did it and hurt myself bad and haven’t been able to hardly walk and my right hand is numb. I have an appointment today with the ortho dr hopefully I can get fixed back up so I can continue gardening. I’m only 63 so I’m so jealous and thrilled for you!!! Gardening is so relaxing and rewarding!!! Keep up the beautiful gardening

Googie is an absolute delight; I shall garden vicariously through her. Being American, I was unfamiliar with many of the flora and fauna; wish I knew more. Thank you for starting my day off with oohs and aahs; stay well.

    Lovely Googie 🌻🥰... I am in Maryland, so it's nice to admire different types of plants. My Mother's Uncle Tatnall had a huge garden, packed into their suburban yard, and this experience reminds me of his garden. There was a hidden arbor swing, in a far corner behind his fruit trees and potting shed. I prefer gardens to Newscasts as well!!

    Googie is a good egg - and such a hoot! My Gran also was besotted by hedgehogs, and used to leave a saucer with bread and milk and blackberries, out for the hedgehogs at the bottom of her garden in Devon, every night. I have just bought an enchanting little book by Pam Ayres, called 'The Last Hedgehog'- it's a very funny poem in the form of a passionate plea to protect these sweet creatures - you should buy it as a prezzie for Googie - I think she'd love it!

    • @theflowerfarmer

    Greetings! I'm almost in your neighbourhood, over on vacation from Canada with my 83YO mother-in-law! We've been rained on in many a county, and are now seeing the odd ray of sunshine in Lacock, Wiltshire. Good thing we don't need dry feet, because they're hard to come by most days. 😂 I'm sorry to hear you've had flooding at the farm. But we've enjoyed no-mow May in the diverse hedgerows down in Devon. Thanks for the tour with your mom.
