  • This week, I bring you to the park with me and show you some of my favourite sections of it! This is St Anne's Park in Raheny and on days where it's sunny, it's extra magical.
    I also decided to try my hand at propagating roses and verbena after seeing Anya the Garden Fairy showing it on her Instagram and in her book, so stay tuned and see if it works!
    Finally, spring is happening in the garden and with the constant grey days that we've been having here in Ireland, those little pops of colour and new shoots bring hope that brighter, sunnier days are coming.
    Happy St Patrick's Day!

    The park is so lovely! Makes me want to go out for a walk now☺🌳🌿 One question: Why do you stick the cuttings only around the edge of the pot?

    • @Lovelygirliebits
      @Lovelygirliebits  6 месяцев назад +2

      I read it’s because it encourages the roots to grow quicker as they reach the side of the pot and then are forced to grown inwards and sideways 🪴

    What a beautiful park for your morning walks. Search for stones about the size of golf balls to elevate some of you pots. Or use old bricks. Nice to have staggered levels for free. Your cuttings are doing nicely.
    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

    A blog post from you would be amazing! And you're allowed to be a little blue when the weather is a little gray ;) Seriously, it's hard to keep your spirits up when you hit a wall of endless gray days. Praying for some sunny blue skies in your patch of Ireland.

    It grant stopped reading here in England either. I’m soooooo bored of it. I planted some more seeds earlier today though (cosmos, dahlia, moss roses and lupins) and that cheered me up a bit. Hopefully I’ll see them popping up soon.

    This is such a beautiful video Karen. The parks there are truly gorgeous. We have some beautiful ones here in the U.S. but of course we don't have much as far as historical. We aren't that old. But we do have beautiful natural forests with both Flora and Fonda within.
    I did plant some seeds the same day as you did. No growth yet.
    The weather has been the same...just wet, dark, cold and nasty. My greenhouse did warm up finally. So I think conditions are good..I propagated a lot last year so that helped and I will continue to do so. I have two hydrangeas that propagated last year. One was a few years ago. All three are back and looking fantastic. So green 💚... I made my first tee pees for my sweet pea. It actually looks like cottage garden style trellises. Now if my seeds come up🌱I'll be ready for one big planter/container of sweet peas.. my garden is mostly containers. I can't wait to see your garden bursting with colour. Happy planting.. I had oral surgery last week so I'm hoping I can get out for a bit today..😊 maybe we will all have some beautiful weather with lots of Sunshine. We do have a freeze warning just east of us for tonight. A heater may be needed.
    Have a great week Karen. 🌱🪻🌻🌷🌹🪺☀️
