The perfect plant for your front shade garden is Lungwort. It is beautiful. Flowers all spring and the veriegated leaves are gorgeous all summer

Catherine on the sunflowers, try putting fans on them to simulate the wind. If you only have one fan, turn the plants from time to time. It should help the stems grow stronger overall. 🌻

@@misstweetypie1 while it’s a great idea, I’m not adding more to the greenhouse to cut down on costs of energy. So I’m hoping we get some nice warm days over the next few weeks to help them 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

About the sunflowers: usually when seedling become leggy, it's because there is not enough sunlight. Even on the South facing windowsill this can happen. That's why I use specific grow lights. Also "moving" their stem by using a fan or just simply stroking them with your hands every day might thicken the stem a bit. Hope this might help a bit :) I press my thumbs for you!

Your voice is so soothing, Catherine! I agree with your comments about the current icky weather-I live in the French Alps and we are having the worst spring as well for rain! I thought it was APRIL showers ?😂 Your videos always give me inspiration to just get out there anyway!❤ I’m about to take a flight to my home town for a wedding in the south of the US and I hope to soak in all that southern sun☀️

Love watching your channel. You are so inspiring.

Hi Catherine, just a bit of advice to make more space in your borders. If you tie the daffodil foliage like making a knot with the foliage itself, then you'll be able to mulch easier and can still wait for the foliage to die back, as intended. Hope this handy hint makes a difference😊, from Jo in New Zealand. Love your petite garden.....your mulch is to be admired.

Grew sunflowers in the back garden a few years ago by planting the seeds in the ground around April and they always grew into big flowers

Catherine your garden looks great and so exciting that you're getting a raised bed in the front too. I've spent the last couple of weeks catching up and plants are more resilient than we think , I put in some early sweetpeas and then we had rain cold and more rain !!!!! Checked them yesterday and some have flower buds. I am eagerly awaiting my copy of your book seems real now we've seen you signing them. Thanks for sharing your gardening with us so much inspiration is taken from watching you. Xxxx

Got my copy. Looking forward to sitting wit a Cuppa Tea and a read. :)

Why is it so soothing to watch someone sweep? and also to sweep ….its one of my fav things to do in the garden at the end of a long (warm …in the UK? Ha ha ) satisfying garden session I just love to give my path a good sweep!

Hi Catherine, I am behind too in my garden, what with the weather and changing all the carpets in my house, plus getting it ready to sell too, it has been neglected somewhat! We managed to find a couple of hours this week for a little tidy up before it rained again. Today is a lovely day here in Somerset, and you have inspired me to go potter after lunch, so thank you for that.

Hi Catherine. Some stepping stones would look nice from the path, down to the green house. It will save you wearing down the grass too.

Thanks for the garden " inspection" tour. Looks like a planting video will be coming soon.😊 Glad to hear your planning your front garden beautification. You deserve that upgraded view and your cats get a better second chance on their window tv.😂

Lovely video, Catherine and congratulations on your new book! Re the sunflowers, i wonder if they need a bit more light? You could try putting them outside for a couple of hours each day if it's warm enough, then bring them back in the evening. I've done this with other outdoor plants, they do prefer the outside light 🌞

Hello from the Brooklyn lady in a community garden! (My own flat has a north window only, so I have to go that route.) We just had some early May cleanup as well - we have a grape vine that was growing a bit wild because it was behind the raised beds for people's plots and there was no way to get to it. So one member gave himself a task - he found a little space between some of the raised beds, and then built a little path leading up to the grape vine FINALLY. He also cut some of the vines that were starting to get tangled around a fence and mixed up in the electric wires in the building next door; that cleared out a nice patch of ground for me to then go in and set up a container garden area for herbs. We had two really big pots that were each big enough for me to plant about four or five different herb plants in; I set up one pot with the more woody herbs like thyme and oregano, and the other is for more tender herbs like chives, parsley and dill. (I'm also on the hunt for tarragon and rosemary.) There's also a pot of peppermint and a combined pot with lemon verbena, lemon balm and chamomile. I also found a bracket that hangs onto a railing and supports a plant pot; it is now hooked on the fence over the herb spot and I'll put some trailing nasturtiums in it. It gave me something to do while the veg in my own garden plot are still growing. Spring in New York has also been pretty unpredictable and the lettuce and peas I planted in March are only just starting to take off now. I was hoping to have the room to start beans, cucumber and melons, so I'm hoping those lettuces hurry up and grow soon!

Oh Catherine, I have been hoping to see a garden video! Everything looks good. The season is beginning!!. I planted (from seed, because you and Karen have inspired me) squash, tomatoes, carrotts, onions and peas. Also, seed potatoes. For flowers (from seed), Cosmos, sweet peas, nastursium and sunflowers. I bought the little green house like Karen's. In January 2022, I put in a nectarine tree and this year I probably have no less than 100 nectarines! I also put in an apricot and 2 plumb trees. I have prolific strawberries from last year and this year I planted 2 black berry and 1 rasberry bush. I don't want to forget the bulbs. I planted lots of gladiolas and freshia, some Dahlia (but they don't do well for me zone 9B). My neighbor gave me a very small Holly Hock last year and it has reseeded everywhere. I will soon be in Holly Hock heaven! I too paid for a professional concrete decorative border in my back yard (so worth the money.... I love it). I have tons of border planting space. I'm mixing veggies with everything else in the borders. It is so much fun to see things grow. I cannot tell you how much you have inspired me over the last 4 or 5 years. My heart is full.
