- I hope you enjoy this extra garden vlog this week. Today was such a beautiful sunny Spring day, so I headed out to the cottage garden. I tackled some more leaves and tidied up the grass. Also, I planted some Summer bulbs in containers. Let me show you what is growing in my garden so far in March.
My Greenhouse is from outdoorliving.ie and the size is 8ftX8ft

Hi Catherine, I didn't have a clue the first time I saw your channel that I would love you so much. I'm 80 years old and I enjoy everything you do. Your smile and giggles bring me joy and you leave me feeling uplifted after each video. You're such a sweet and pleasant young women. I believe we all have a purpose in this life and you have found yours. I think you ministry to our spirits in these hard times. Bless you dear!
Awww Betty, I am sitting on the bus replying to comments on my way home and your comment was just so kind and lovely and put a smile on my face. Thank you!
Thanks for the good cheer! It helps me balance the sadness in the world with some sanity!
You and Blondie are my ray of sunshine on a gloomy day, thank you
Oh Maureen you're so sweet that means a lot to me! Thanks for stopping by ❤️
Me too!!! ☀️🥰☀️
@@DaintyDiaries I have left another remark, but your sweet cat Blondie, is so sweet natured. She definitely takes after you.
Found this channel and love all the diy ideas you come up with! Ive watched your painting tips video the other day and I’m going to give your advice a go on some dark furniture I have that need a revamp!! Sand / prime / prep
Blondie is like an illuminating fur angel 😇
She did look ethereal!
I’m in Ontario Canada zone 6 and right now we still have snow. I definitely do bulbs (tulips, daffodils, hyacinth all the usual) and we can just leave them in the ground they come back year after year, they get the cold spell they need through our winter. Our snow melts usually by March and then bulbs start Usually by April. It has been a very snowy February this year we got at least three feet of snow and very cold. I’m patiently waiting to get in the garden it won’t be long now!🌷
I absolutely love, love Gardener's World with Monty Don! I live in Maine and so we plant our Spring bulbs in the ground in October before the ground freezes. They come up around April or May depending on when the snow is gone. I have been enjoying your RUclips videos.
Thats a good tip - Im in Maine also!
I’m still 9weeks away from our last frost date so I’m living vicariously through RUclips! 😭
Greetings from Seattle Washington USA! I am a zone 8b and have over 4000 tulips coming up. Our growing season is from April to November…sometimes December. I am addicted to Monty…Big Dreams Small Places, Gardener’s World, his tours of Great American, English and Italian gardens…if it has Monty in it, I am watching it via Britbox, Netflix or RUclips 🥰
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada growing zone 2b/3. Spring is very short, the snow has usually melted by mid April, but the daytime temperatures are still quite cool not higher than 14C with cold winds and night temps are usually in the low single digits. Spring bulbs are crocuses, tulips and muscari, buttercups. Last frost date is typically 3rd week of May! But after that it gets warm quickly and we have lovely summers. First frost can be end of August, but usually not until mid Sept. Winter temps can be very cold, as low as -40C but there is a good snow cover so most perennials, trees, shrubs, bulbs etc survive.
Every gardener faces different challenges, and I embrace every challenge Mother Nature throws at me. Gardens are constantly evolving and changing and that’s what makes it so interesting.
Love your vlogs! It’s so interesting to see gardens from other parts of the world. Thank you for sharing yours ❣️
I am in zone 6b. Our last snowfall was in February so, my spring bulbs are beginning to come up now. I still cannot get much gardening done yet because, we are still getting freezing temperatures at night with cooler days. Besides watching you, I also love watching Monty Don on RUclips and Garden Answer. You are always a bright, fun and positive inspiration in the home/gardening world. Thank you for your sunny and sweet personality! 👩🌾 😊💕
Hello from Yerevan, Armenia! Yes, we have a snowy winter through to end of March. Our spring begins soon when my dormant bulbs come to life. Monty is my highlight on Friday nights too, even though I have to watch him at 2am because of the time difference. I am able to purchase a VPN which allows me to enjoy every episode. What a sweet young lady you are. It is very pleasing to watch you. Thank you !
As an Aussie, can definitely say I love watching Monty Don. 😊
Love that you are “genuine” and just let your true personality shine! I live in Southern California, zone 10b. In the few winter months (December-March, never any snow) that we have, we don’t get much lower than the mid 40’s (Fahrenheit) at night - usually in the 50’s and during the days we are usually in the 70’s but can have days in the 80’s. Yes we can grow bulbs here and are very lucky to leave certain ones in the ground year round because of our mild weather - some that I have are gladiolus, amaryllis, bluebells, and Easter lilies. Our weather is so mild that some of these will start popping up in January! However, I know there are certain types of bulbs that need to go through a very cold period of 6-12 weeks to be able to bloom properly and can’t do that in the ground in our warm climate. Fortunately we can put them in the refrigerator for a few weeks to simulate the process. That’s why it’s always good to check the growing zone of bulbs to see how they perform in your area. I’m in my 60’s and still enjoy learning about gardening and am thrilled that my daughter has grown to love the same! 👏🏼🌺🌼🌸🥰
I'm like you Catherine, I've been on countdown since the last series finished. another wait for Friday!😀😀 It's like you say, when Monty gives us jobs for the week, we're off!! xx🌱🪴
I'm a huge fan of Gardeners World and Monty Don. I live in Seattle, Washington, and happily watch it via amazon prime. I can also go back over all the past seasons. My gardening friends and I have Gardening World marathons sometimes watching as many as 4 or 5 episodes in a row! It's such a treat and so is your Vlog! Thank you
Hello from northeast USA! We have four seasons. Spring is usually rainy season, high winds, still chilly...very odd temps. It is usually starts getting warmer, like 40 F degrees in late March, but can tease and torment you with certain days going up to low-mid 60 F.....followed by a week of low teens and another 2-3 ft. of snow! You plant your early spring bulbs in October...and pray they make it! Spring rains usually arrive in late March or early April...but you can STILL get odd snow flurries all the way thru into early May! (Our tornado season usually starts late March and can pop-up all thru spring, summer and fall!) Most gardening seasons begin in April with Spring flowers, gusty winds and gentle rains or windy thunderstorms. May is usually blooming flowers everywhere, high pollen counts and blossoming trees with temps 60-70s. Most folks plant veggies and flowers at end of May. June and July are farmers markets, fresh veggies, lovely corn, watermelon...great time to harvest tomatoes, beans, peppers cucumbers, zucchini etc. Most country people start freezing and canning. June, July, August are hottest summer months with temps in 80-102F degrees! Time for sunscreen, cold drinks, shade, wind and central air conditioning! Picnics, family parties, pools, vacation travel, local carnivals and fairs, boating, fishing, swimming...all happen June thru August. It is also time to pick blueberries, wild raspberries, elderberries and enjoy fresh strawberries with cake and whipped cream! Fall tree colors arrive late August, early September, with "sweater weather" in high 50s F to low 30s! This is when most gardens are done, so you "put them to bed" cleaning up, adding fertilizer, a top covering of chopped up leaves as a blanket around bulbs, bushes. Some gardeners use newspapers as a layer of frost protection, then mow over their leaves in yard, gather that up and put it on top of newspaper lining, water it down, might add dirt and rocks to hold it all down from high winds. October has cornstalks, apples, sunflowers, mums and pumpkins to buy for decor and to make pies! Fairs with gorgous mums, zinnas and dahlias bouquets and lovely fall floral bouquets to use for fall decor. The trees shed their hickory and black walnuts and squirrels abound, collecting acorns to bury for winter. Hunting season begins in November for rural areas, with deer venison and wild turkey in many freezers.Snow flurries and cold nights can come as early as late October, with definitely daily snowstorms by most of November. The snowy, cold gray winter months run from November thru to early April, usually. SOMETIMES March surprises,turning warmer temps by mid-month. There are family garden centers and large store chains like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart...that all sell bulbs, plants, seeds...all garden needs. You can also order from catalogs...or buy seedlings, bulbs, young plants, at weekly farmers markets in Spring, Summer and Fall. This week of early March was as follows: Mon-Tues was heavy drenching rainstorms followed by dropping temps into nightly low 20s, which made all streets ice covered. Weds. was rainy, but in mid-40s F. Thurs-Fri. was in low to mid 60sF with beautiful sun-kissed days! Sat-Sun was rain turning into...SNOW FLURRIES, high winds, nightly in low teens! What I dubbed..."A five-blankets night!" Yep...waiting for Spring! Thanks to your vlog...I am feeling "hopeful" Spring will arrive in 1-2 weeks...I hear birds chirping...I am going to try dahlias this year, bought a bouquet in early fall...so lovely...I decided I would try growing them this year!
Here in Northeast Ohio we get Spring bulbs and plant them usually in early May. I live in Zone 5. We also will plant some bulbs in the Fall/Autumn for the following Spring. Like Daffodils and Crocuses. Next Monty Don & Gardeners World. I use to watch episodes on RUclips or Britbox. There’s only 3 seasons on there right now. I don’t know if the episodes you’re watching on Friday is the same as what I see. Isn’t he wonderful! Like the episode I’m watching is about a Staffordshire theme park. Watching these amazing gardens sure lowers the blood pressure. Thank you for bringing you and Blondies sunshine to my day!
I live in the southern US and I know that my Dad keeps the bulbs in the fridge/freezer for awhile to simulate winter before planting them 😊
I'm in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and I have to use RUclips to get GW. Your Friday is our Saturday, so I watch the video on Sunday morning with my breakfast. I'm also in autumn now, so it's the opposite. I usually watch a 'season' of GW twice so I can follow it in my own spring-summer-fall and then enjoy the new season when it comes on. :) Sometimes, I watch seasons from years ago now.
For my garden, I'm mostly still doing infrastructure. It's a long term process of removing debris, weeds, and invasive plants, then building pathways, patios, decks, railings, fences, and so on. Then building soil and then planting.
So, most of my garden is in pots. I buy very young plants, or get cuttings or divisions, or grow from seed -- and I pot them up and up so that when the place I want them in the garden is ready, I can plant them in. Until then, I enjoy them in their pots, but my garden looks a fright.
I have a monthly plan for my garden, and now that it's autumn, I am doing the potting up, and continuing on the infrastructure projects and weeding. In late autumn and winter, I'll be doing more transplanting, now that I have mature enough plants and it'll be the right time for some of them to be transplanted.
New Zealand (South Island): the daffodils start coming up in August and spring bulb season would be September/October. We probably have a similar growing season to you and the goal with potatoes is to have them ready to eat at Christmas!
Aw I love this, thanks for sharing 🌷
Our daffodils are in full bloom in Arkansas, USA 🌷🌷🌷🌷
I live in Iowa, zone 5. Yes! We get spring bulbs. Depending on the variety, we usually see them emerging in April and flowering later in April and into May. Our last frost date this year is April 30. It’s currently quite chilly still. We had a few “false spring” days with highs in the upper 60s. The robins are back, which everyone in this area thinks means spring has arrived. And yes….I watch Gardeners World a lot, however they are older episodes on a streaming service. We love Monte, even though our habitat is not quite the same, we learn so much!!
Hi Catherine, Oh yes please, please do more gardening video's. I find them so relaxing and calming to watch. I unfortunately dont have a garden anymore as i live in a flat so i find comfort in watching your gardening videos. I love garden's World and i have watched it for years and years. Very much looking forward to all the new spring garden videos. Have a great week Catherine. xx
I live in Philadelphia PA USA and have never hear about gardeners world. Now I have to try to find it on RUclips
I watch Garden Answer on RUclips. Which is probably why you were recommended. Gardening seems to be becoming the Global Culture
Zone 5, Pennsylvania, daffodils are starting to bloom this week. Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. I love Gardener's World! I watch it on RUclips.
I live in South Australia and plant my bulbs in Autumn, which flower in Spring. I can grow most plants that grow in Europe, as we have a Mediterranean climate, as well as all the Australian native plants. Best of both worlds. It snows in the Australian Alps. In fact, our snowfields are larger than those in Switzerland. Many Australians love skiing and the snowfields in New South Wales and Victoria are very popular in winter. I love watching your vlogs and seen how you’ve transformed your home.
Oh wow, I didn’t know that about the snow and skiing ⛷
I live in Northern Indiana zone 5 and I just started seeds inside for my 1st time last week. I have grow lights and 3 shelves. I’ve been gardening for 30 years. I love planting flowers and veggies. Mother’s Day for most things.
I want a green house like yours!!!
Hi hon! Ottawa, Canada , zone 5…still much snow here although we had a good melt today. We have great spring bulbs but they won’t pop up for a bit. Still too much snow. We’ll see them in April. The long weekend in May is when we do the bulk of our planting, annuals, vegetables, etc. Our season is shorter than yours. Most of my veg garden is harvested by September , parsnips, carrots, pumpkins last a little longer. In October
we pull out out tubers (like Dahlias) for storage, plant spring bulbs and do a clean up. Snow flurries come and go starting in October. We don’t normally get snow that stays until December but it can be earlier. The earliest I can remember was Oct 14 one year. As you can imagine, we love spring!! Love Monty Don! I don’t watch TV but I have watched him on Netflix and You Tube and follow him on Insta. Thanks for the early spring inspo. You do a lovely job on the channel. I enjoy watching you very much. Cheeky thumbs up from Canada!
I live in zone 6B in in the western U.S.A. We plant bulbs in October or so and mine are just now coming up. I can't wait to see them bloom after a long, cold winter. We can't safely plant in the spring here until about mid-May because of the likelihood of frost and occasionally snow. We generally have snow from November through March and sometimes even into April. I love Gardener's World and can watch it on BritBox or even RUclips. I am addicted to British garden programs and watch any that I can find. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. It is really cute!
I’m in Melbourne and we don’t get snow and winters are a lot milder here so I don’t even pull my spring bulbs up they just go to sleep in the ground. I love spring so much because I forget where I’ve planted them so I get little surprises as they come up 🌱🌻. I watch Monty on RUclips, he just makes gardening better😄🌱🌻🌱🌳🐛🐨
Oh I love that Carol 💗😍 lovely surprise for you x
In Australia in autumn there is no snow. We plant spring bulbs late winter so July/august so they will flower in Spring. Some areas of NSW get snow in July. Sometimes it’s not much , sometimes a lot. It’s march and the east coast of Australia has had nothing but rain for two weeks. Everything is being washed away. Two more weeks of rain is due. It’s unusual and depressing.
I had read about your flooding and rain, I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you are managing okay ❤️
We had a fairly warm today which brings tornadoes. We have a safe room. We were building a bench along one wall with storage for emergency supplies. Then I painted the room. Padded the bench seat, added a couple of comfy chairs and a little table and of course a comfy kitty bed. It will make it nicer not to feel like a tomb. Our daffodils, flowering pear and tulip trees are blooming and the weather is going to turn off brutally cold at the end of the week here in SW Arkansas. 🌺❤🌺
Plants like humans grow toward the light. With care they will be strong and beautiful. Great job.
Love this 🥰
I haven’t had access to Gardener’s World ( I am VERY aware of Monty) but I do have a temporary access to Britbox so I will look for it there and on UTube! 😊 I live in Seacoast NH, USA. We are still experiencing weather that is sometimes too cold and a day or so of warmer temps in the 40s or 50s. The ground is still rather frozen so no gardening can be done as yet. We are considered a Zone 6a here. Our falls can last deep into November. Sometimes snow comes at the beginning of December or after, around Christmastime. My 70 year old body requires I wait until it is reasonably warm outside before I can begin my spring cleanup. I will be starting a few seeds inside a week or so, also grass seed outside! It is a difficult time of year as looking through catalogs becomes old at this point. We ALL, gardeners that is, are anxious to be OUTSIDE! Thank You for always lifting my spirits 😊🤗🌷
I’m in Vermont, USA and it’s zone 5a so we usually see daffodils coming up in April and Tulips in early to mid May (unless the squirrels get to them first!) Snow is gone for right now but we usually get another late storm in April… I can’t wait for garden season! I watch Monty Don on RUclips. Love it. I used to live in England for a little bit and miss all of the British shows!
Hello!! To answer your zone questions...I live in New Jersey, USA. I have in my poor flower beds little sprouts of daffodils and a sprouts of my hyacinth. My crocus should be presenting themselves very soon. We have an exceptional day today, it's 63°! Very warm and unusual for this time of year. We typically still are in the 40°s, but very little snow this year. Be well, lovely yard and gardens you have!! 💜💛
Honey you can cut the eyes apart and let them dry a few days now and plant them.also with all the potatoes you have on your window seal and if you plant them all you will be able to feed a small army. I’ve grown potatoes for 50 years and a lot of potatoes can be cut into at least 2 pieces and sometimes a lot more as long as there’s 1 grow eye (were the roots are forming) they should grow like weeds. Good luck I’m loving your garden updates.
I live in zone 9 in Washington state. We've started to get a bit warmer temperatures (today is 54degrees) we'll be nice again tomorrow (Monday) but then we're back to showers and cooler temperatures. Since you've inspired me to get outside and get some gardening going, yesterday I planted 40 Dutch Iris bulbs and 6 phlox bulbs! I still have 18 Ranunculus bulbs to set out, but that will have to wait for a little while. I have tulips and daffodils sprouted, but no flowers just yet. I haven't planted any crocus bulbs, yet I have a volunteer army of them in one flower bed and another group starting across the yard! Such a pretty sight! I admire your get up and go and your joy of your garden...it's certainly contagious! Have a lovely week!
I live in BC, Canada (Zone 8b). Tulips just starting to come up now. The garden is just waking up. :)
I live in Iowa in the US, zone 5. There is still snow on the ground right now but it usually thaws just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Bulbs bloom just in time for Easter. Planting is safe the first Sunday after Mother's Day!
Canadian here! We plant tulips in the fall and they come up in Aprilish......most exciting thing I look forward to after a long winter!
Oh, the site of new growth in the garden inspires the dreams of possibilities ahead
Yes, love this Mary 🥰
I'm in NZ and I just planted the first of my spring bulbs (all outside). I sometimes watch old episodes of Garden's World on You Tube. I also needed a break from the news so I spending heaps of time in the garden.
I watch Monty Don on a PBS station which is public broadcasting in the states . I also watch him on RUclips. I myself live on Vancouver Island which is on the West coast of Canada. We are a gardening zone 8a. Usually I plant spring bulbs in the fall, plant Dahlias and Gladiolus around the end of April. Our temperature today was 8’C. I have Daffodils, Snow Drops coming up and all my shrubs and trees are getting buds . Good luck with your garden! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💜💜💜
Blondie looking into the window so cute.
In Vermont, we had snow 2 days ago. It doesn't last but the ground is still quite hard. But the first crocuses and snowdrops have arrived. Many times they'll get a dusting of snow but manage to survive. Of course, nowadays nothing is predictable but we get some growing in September: that's when my morning glories are at their best. Best results, when we assume everything is an annual and are blessed when it comes up the following year.
My Irish granny used to fill a jelly jar 3/4 full with water, cut a thin slice off end of potato, stick toothpicks on all sides of potato, then submerge its "white bottom" into te water, while toothpicks kept rest of potato above water. She kept those jars on a sunny kitchen window sill. It grew "eyes", then took to growing roots quickly....she would put the heavily rooted potato in the early Spring garden...and potatoes grew quickly.
That's brilliant! That's the trick Mary ❤️ thanks for sharing xx
I live in Texas,which is a hot and humid region in the United States. When plant our blubs in October through January but January is probably the best time. And they start to bloom by late March .
Hello from south Alabama USA .....love your videos sweet girl! The things on the potatoes are what we call eyes. We cut them and plant in the garden in rows. It's back breaking when you do a big garden but so worth it. We would buy cutting potatoes and cut all the eyes and then plant them. The birds sound so nice....so excited for spring! Your garden is looking pretty.
Ah Dear Blondie she knows she is a ray of sunshine just like her mum..your garden will be so beautiful looking forward to seeing this..🌷🌷🌷🥰
I live in a zone 5 in British Columbia Canada. Spring bulbs are planted in the start of Fall and they do get covered in snow. But once the snow goes and the days are warmer the bulbs start peeking out.
It's almost time! Your green thumb is going to really pay off, & I cannot wait! I love how you always take your time, don't rush through things, & don't try to cut corners. You have the patience for gardening, & seem to know in your mind's eye how things will look when in bloom. So, soon we'll be able to see what you've envisioned, & it will be lovely! I think the pond was a great idea, too!
Thanks Trish! I think gardening is half planning and half luck, sometimes Mother Nature has better ideas
I love Gardener’s World! I watch it all the time but it’s not as important to stay up to date as I’m in the Southern Hemisphere. I live in Castlemaine, Victoria which is growing zone 7. We definitely plant bulbs in my village and all the surrounding areas. ❤️
I am in Buffalo, New York -- zone 6A--and we are known for our long winters and heavy snowfall. So, we plant our spring bulbs in October through early November, and they winter in the ground. They're just starting to come up this past week in my neighborhood--snowdrops for the most part, but we'll see daffodils and tulips within the next 3 weeks. The mourning doves are back from migrating south for the winter, so spring is around the corner! (Having said that, we often see snow in April, and even the first week in May, though not as much, usually, as in December through February!) And I do watch Monty Don on BritBox, it's a subscription service the way Netflix is. I'm pretty sure we see the new one when you do! 🌹🌹🌹🏠🏠🏠
My heart is heavy, my grandson is moving states away! Thank you for replanting my feet in the ground.
Aw so sorry to hear that ❤️
Hello there! I'm in Colorado, U.S., growing zone 4b so we plant all of our spring bulbs before the ground freezes in the autumn. Yes, we still have snow..in fact it's snowing now. My spring bulbs started coming up last week as it go to 70 degrees but they will be fine. My frost free date is not.until mid to late May at which time I can plant annuals so between now and.then, I start my spring cleanup on the nicer days even if more snow is coming. I love watching your videos and really enjoyed the little table.redo! Love the runner and pink items! Thanks for being here.
I live in the Montreal area and yes we get bulbs, we get them around the end of April. Usually the snow is pretty much gone in mid April. The bulbs do not stay long because summer comes really quick. One day it is Spring and the week following the grass has grown and the bulbs are too hot and wilt. We get a beautiful Autumn and it stays until the start of November. We had a beautiful Winter with lots of snow and not too much Ice.. The skiers were very happy. This week it is Spring Break in Montreal and lots of people are at the ski hill up north. Have a great day enjoy your garden wish I were there….
It's lovely to get out into the garden its been a beautiful day up north in England ..yes we get gardeners world I watch it on iplayer as I like to watch it back to back if possible 🙂
I'm in Perth, Western Australia and we plant our bulbs now in Autumn to flower in Spring. We place colder climate loving bulbs like tulips and hyacinths in the fridge for 6-8 weeks to "trick" them into flowering better. Daffodils, Freesias Jonquils, etc can remain in the soil throughout the year just fine. Summer bulbs like dahlias, gladiolis etc grow extremely well here too and they are planted around July for Summer flowering (December onward) and these can be left in the ground year after year also.
I’m in Canada and our ‘planting’ time for summer is May after all danger of frost has past. We plant all of our spring bulbs in the fall and they’re actually starting to come up now. I do seed starting in my basement for some things but almost anything can be found at local nurseries or mail order or big box stores, Home Depot etc. Our summers can be really hot, over 40 at some point in the summer so our gardens are pretty amazing, just a shorter season.
Hi Catherine ☘️ love your videos, you are an inspiration to us all… I just love gardening, can’t believe I’m 80 this year, can’t do what I used to,but I cannot give up.. Love my garden.. Nothing like an Irish potato 🥔 l am now just growing a few in pots, and it’s nothing like digging them up, then straight into to the saucepan for me dinner 😛😛 👍
Lovely to watch your videos with my coffee in the morning. You put me in good spirits for the day xx
We have longer winter in Canada. We have spring bulb flowers sometime in June. Growing season is 3-4 month. Last year we had a nice long autumn. I like to watch Laura from garden answer on you tube. As well as Justin Rhodes family clogs on you tube and bunch of other homesteaders. Informative and wholesome shows.
Hi from Sydney, Australia 🤗 Britbox here does not have Monty’s Gardener’s World, so have to rely on RUclips. Love the surprise of bulbs popping up in spring - freesia, jonquils, daffodils. Usually my winter is not quite cold enough for tulips and I am not prepared to dig bulbs up and chill them in the refrigerator. Australia is a big country (about the same as continental USA).
Shuswap region of British Columbia Canada growing zone 6a , -10 C. It was a beautiful day here as well, ice has melted off the lake but ground is still covered in about 6 inches of snow. The sun has some warmth to it so there is thaw. We do plant spring bulbs and where the snow has melted in my tiny yard ( in southern exposed garden area) I see some tulips poking through. There will be snowdrops growing and some buds on trees, pussywillows are out. I drove to Kamloops on Friday, much dryer area, 1.5 hrs away, snow was gone but everything still brown. I walked to the lake this morning and the birds are back, lots of ducks, geese on the lake and the beautiful sound of red winged blackbirds, my grandma’s favourite bird. I noticed your fence seems 12 feet high. Our city bylaws allow 6 foot fences in back yard and 4 feet in the front. Love your garden and greenhouse. Looking forward go seeing all your spring flowers in bloom. Oh, we do get britbox but I’ve never watched Garden World. I stick to RUclips. One of my fav channels is Jeri Landers. She is a wonderful artist/gardener and avid antique collector. Lots of American history. Love her hobby farm and all her animals from Hop Along hollow ( her farm) are in her stories books.
Catherine, you are so refreshing! Your videos are a bright spot in my week. I live in central Wisconsin and in zone 4 - we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground and freezing temps. Our daffodils/tulips will not appear until early May. I'm chomping at the bit to get a day like you have for gardening! Just a comment on your doves - they coo, and potatoes have "eyes."
Oh I hope May comes quickly for you Annette ❤️
"The hug I need"...YES! My flowers give me that as well. Here in Jasper, Tennessee USA, the weather is warm and beautiful. It was so cold 2 weeks ago. We are zone 7. Our snow usually happens in Jan. and Feb., but we've had snow in Apr.
But our snow in TN melts pretty quickly and hardly ever accumulates to more than 6 inches.
I live in Indiana USA and our planting season is usually mid to late March and early April. It starts getting cold in late September. We got a big snow in February but it's all melted. I am so ready to turn off the heat and open the windows. It's 36 degrees C today and sunny but it's going to drop about 20 degrees for the next few days. Our weather is so changeable during March and April. Thanks so much for sharing all your new greenery growth. It gives me hope for Spring. I wish you a happy healthy growing season. 🥰🥰
You too Regina ❤️ thanks for sharing that sounds lovely xx
I’m in Vermont, USA, and we have a 5th season that we call “mud season”. In late March through April we have massive melts with occasional snow storms and muddy roads everywhere! By April we have spring bulbs coming up, and they live for about as long as other zones I’ve lived in. BUT, I have lived in warmer zones and didn’t realize hydrangea and butterfly bush can live for super long in climates like Vermont due to the cooler weather! 😍
Aw mud season, that doesn’t sound too fun 🤣 but, it means the blooms are on the way
Newfoundland in Eastern Canada here. We still have snow. Tulips and daffodils start coming up in May-early June and we typically have nice autumn weather until the end of October. So it's definitely a shorter growing season!! So envious of your beautiful climate in Ireland.
Here in Western Pennsylvania, we get snow anywhere between October through March. Sometimes even the beginning of April. We plant bulbs in the fall and they come up April and May. It was actually pretty warm today but very windy. I buy flowers at the grocery store in the winter because our days can be very gray here.
Hi Catherine,
Thank you for another beautiful that made me smile. I live in Ontario Canada, about an hour and a half north of Toronto. I’m zone 5B and yes we still have a few feet of snow! About 5cm more just yesterday! I’m so sick of it! It takes forever to leave! I do still plant bulbs but I do it in the fall (October/November) because it’s too hard to work the ground in the spring. Our rule of thumb is to not plant any annuals until the May 24 long weekend. It’s not until then that the risk of frost is truly gone. It’s a long painful wait!!! Our growing season usually lasts into October, but the last few years I’ve had a few thing until November. Typically it snows or freezes rain for Halloween. Our season is so short☹️. I’ve got my eye on a small Hartely greenhouse…it’s on my bucket list! Anyway, thanks again for the video, I wish we could “hang” and have a cup of tea together!
Hi, I'm in Wisconsin, we plant our bulbs from October to November, and some start coming up in March April, like crocus, snowdrops, tulips starting arriving April all the way to May some still come early June then done.I have Britbox so watch gardeners world that way, love that show. Your bulbs are coming up great. Love Blonde's glow, she so cool. Take care Catherine.
Where I am in Canada we've got about 5 feet of snow still , and our average temp for this week is -20C. The snow will hopefully melt by end of April/beginning of May but I don't usually do any spring gardening. My neighbours tulips usually spring up around that time though. Our growing season is quite short, normally from the end of may to the end of September. Our 'transition seasons' of spring and fall are very quick and aren't usually very defined seasons, we essentially have long winters with snow sometimes starting in October and lasting until May (again, depending on the amount of snow), and 3 months of a good hot summer. I'd love to move somewhere that has more defined seasons though, being cooped up during these long winters make me crave the sunshine that spring has :)
Western Australia. Autumn here. Lovely sunny days with a tang in the air. Beautiful warm, sunny Easter.
Greetings from Finland and I'm living in the Southern Finland and we do have usually less snow at this time, but now garden is covered 40cm deep of snow. And some new snow fall down today. Daffodils and most other bulbs bloom between April and May. Tempatures goes between +5 to - 10c. Snow will melt fast when it's the time. Dahlias aren't hardy in here, need to store in cool place over wintertime. I would like to do all those things that you do, but have to wait a bit and cut down some huge birch trees. Our garden is old but we have living here 1,5 years. You have such a sweet vlog. ❤️
Thank you Catherine, can't wait to your garden in bloom 😍 I love this time of year when everything is popping up and sprouting. Your videos are a pleasure to watch xx
The best time of year ❤️❤️ aw thanks for watching Maria xx
All my daffs are out in full bloom tulips are just leaves at the minute… I hear what you say being in the garden sings to your soul I watch Monty on Friday night and then again Sunday morning 😂
Gardening is just good for the soul 😍
Still a bit chilly here, but I noticed that my Narcissus is coming up!! No buds yet, though!!❤️ (Growing zone 6- spring bulbs, yes. But they say not to plant in the ground until mid-May!)🌻
Oh happy days Nancy sounds lovely ❤️ spring is around the corner!!
We can’t plant outside much until after Mother’s Day in May. The chickens dig up my bulbs and eat them so I satisfy myself with about a hundred plants in the house. I’m in Washington state (the Pacific Northwest) in the U.S. but in the central part where it’s high desert.
I’ve only heard of Gardener’s World from you. I have terrible dry winds and live in a hill so I don’t agonize about the outside of the house. We have about an acre of lawn and a few rose bushes. I have one garden bed and lots of containers. I grow veggies 🥗 in the box and flowers in the containers, but they have to be weather hardy.
I’m in NSW and our bulbs start flowering mid to late Winter and Spring. They’ll flower until the Summer heat hits. I have foxgloves that flower late Spring right through to Winter. We didn’t have much of a Summer here this year as it has been raining a lot and then flooding late February and March and unfortunately more rain predicted. Love your garden and potting shed!
I love Gardener’s World. I can only watch a couple of past seasons on Britbox. I turn it in when stressed and it just calms me.
It's great to de-stress with a cuppa ❤️
I'm in zone 6 Pacific Northwest and its snowing today. In the fall I put a heavy leaf mulch over where my tulips and daffodils are planted. Today I checked and they are just beginning to peek out. I expect April to May they will bloom. Our Spring growing season is short. It will be freezing Temperature at night until mothers day and then it jumps to summer and it's very hot. Happy Gardening.❤
(New Zealand, growing zone 9) I get spring bulbs, they come up in spring in September / October. And yes, it is weird when the rest of the world (it feels like) is gearing up for Halloween with pumpkins and autumn leaves. I watch Gardener's World past episodes on RUclips.
Seed potatoes chitting on the windowsill..just like my house. Potatoes go in after the frost. If you do pop them out earlier cover with fleece. Egg boxes help with the rolling problem.
I live in Illinois in the Southern portion and it is zone 6. I have tulips and other bulbs that start coming up about April most years, but sometimes March. We have a pretty long summer here, some years more than others. I had flowers growing this past year until November. My daughter lives 500 miles to the north in Wisconsin which is further north than parts of Canada, in zone 2. She definitely has a much shorter growing season, she had snow in September already and probably will until May. Your yard is so quaint and lovely. I am working on mine but the people I bought my house from were in their 90's and it was overgrown. But that gives me surprises, I chopped down a ton of vines and ivy and discovered 12 rose bushes.
Morning Catherine hope you are well. Love 💕 your questions. I’m in the uk and my bulbs were all dug up by a squirrel 🐿 in my garden burying his nuts 🥜🥰🥰it was a constant battle to replant the bulbs 🤣 Hope you have a great week xxx
I'm in Zone 8 in the southern US. My camellias are in full bloom and have been since Christmas. Our bulbs are up and have started blooming but not fully. I found my first colored buds on my azeleas yesterday. In about a week everything will in full bloom here.
We still have some chilly weather ahead. Our last frost usually is around Easter. But in has been in the mid-80s since last week. The AC is already on. I love the hot weather. That means it's time to head to Florida for the weekends.
Here in lower half of Minnesota we are Zone 4. We can even have snow in April. Gardeners do plant bulbs but they don’t come up until they like the weather - late April or May. Planting spring flowers will happen with warmer weather and no chance of frost… maybe late May. We usually never planted until late in May or early June. Just need the warmer weather. We have a shorter growing season, but occasionally really warm way into September. Just hard to count on the northern states for a sure thing. Enjoyed the video!
I live in Texas and I've not had much luck with spring bulbs. It doesn't get cold enough and it appears that I'm not organized enought to pop them in the fridge to chill them... I buy pre-potted bulbs but haven't yet managed to "over-summer" them. It's easiest to buy the cut flowers for the brief time they appear in the store. That's my vicarious pleasure in watching you plant and putter.
That sounds lovely Genia❤️
I live in Hawaii. I planted sunflower seeds 2 weeks ago and they are popping up. I am so excited. We will be visiting Ireland in May.
In the part of the US where I am from, when our potatoes start to sprout we say that they are going to seed. I just love your videos!
Yes Oz do get spring bulbs. You are correct we are currently in Autumn ( March, April and May), Winter (June, July, August), Spring (September, October, November), Summer (December, January, February). Some parts of Australia do get snow. Further south such as Melbourne (Victoria) and Tasmania. Love the video.
I’m in Los Angeles and we can’t grow tulips. We get them at the garden center ready to flower. Some daffodils will take the warmer climate and still bloom. Do we get Gardeners World? When you said it was back this Friday I actually yelled Yay!! I love GW and now we get it on Brit box through Amazon prime. I can finally watch it on Friday nights just like you!! Love your channel, Blondie makes me laugh so much. She was living her best sunny life in todays video!
Australia, yep we get spring bulbs! Love them
You've made my Monday morning (again). I have anxiety and depression and oh my goodness you lift my spirits so much (not saying "poor me" just that you have such a positive effect :) ). I feel I am repeating myself so much on your videos, but I don't think you realise how lovely you are. You are so real and personable and your videos are one big cwtch (Welsh for hug/snuggle :D ) to me, its like a good catch up with the best neighbour over a cuppa each week ;)
Your garden is coming on nicely - even the grass is recovering well from the path laying and the comment of plonking in the water lily and "it sank" had me giggling (my partner in the other room said, "Ah watching Dainty again are you?" lol). Its so warming to see the changes over the seasons and your hard work coming into life. Beautiful :) And that weather... bliss! Thanks for sharing some our way across the Sea - it just gives so much 'get up and go' to do things doesn't it. Roll on more sunshine happiness!!
Awwww your kindness is warming my heart, I really appreciate you and your support 🥰🥰🥰
I live in Kentucky and subscribe to Britbox to watch Gardeners World. Honestly, it’s not a big deal here. I only watched it for the first time last year after scrolling through Britbox. I also watched Spring Watch and really enjoyed that.
I put my potatoes in an ice cream bucket of coffee grounds in my kitchen and they sprout really well. We've planted them before though without sprouts coming yet and they grow nicely if you plant them early. I'm very envious of how nice and big your garden is! I'm in Michigan in the U.S. and our crocuses, tulips and daffodils come up in April usually and the trees (apples, plums, etc, lilacs) will blossom in May. It still can snow til mid May sometimes so we don't plant our vegetable gardens til the end of May, but potatoes and peas in April. We have a farm and plant our corn in April and May. Fall is from September til mid November when it will start to snow.
I live on the Oregon coast. February, March we have bulbs up. Easter is pretty with all the bulb growth.
My lovely friend, I'm from Southern California, but started out in Anchorage, Alaska and we had bulbs coming up through the snow in spring when I was a child. Narcissists. Easter we had snow and snow for Halloween! Yes a short growing season but its the land of the midnight sun so very long days in the summer and hot too! I love your channel!
We are going into spring now in North Carolina the weather is up and down very windy here it’s Monday March 7 winds gust up to 20/35 mile winds and 80 today then tomorrow high 62 low 42 it’s up and down in 1993 we had a blizzard got 14 inches of snow ❄️ I’ll never forget that !
