😊

Just came across your video and such a brilliant video it is!! I have the majority, even your little seat thing but havent used it yet, the children are zooming up and down our hall on it, we have over 60ft of hall so they're having the best craic (fun) using it 😂 ive also used it for delivering the washing to the bedrooms as have a bad back! Another thing or 2 would be special pens that dont fade in the sunlight which i have to get, i use wooden lolly sticks as labels and have you seen charles dowding seed trays? They're made from exceptionally durable plastic that you can stand on or even drive over so a great investment! They're called cd15/cd30 😊 from containerwise, may be you already have them! I love your bag for all your bits, something i never thought of getting!! But i might just try and sew 1 up as a winter project! I will look forward to watching other videos of yours , hello from Ireland 😊

Some great ideas thank you. x

Brilliant share Diane!!! Personally, right now, I am going over to Amazon to get me some red handled snips and scissors 😃

What a great video Diane; where can we get the tool organiser you have in your shed please? I am a relatively tidy gardener, whilst my hubby could do with organising help!, brilliant ...thank you.

Great ideas Diane and presentation tips. Lovely video 😊

Many nice ideas! My mom always started her holiday shopping in January! I’m not as organized. Enjoyed watching your video on such a horrible day for America, it was a welcome distraction. I’m a knitter, so I will definitely knit some of those fingerless gloves, now that I know how to measure them. My son once bought me flower seed packets as a gift, and I still save seeds from the plants I grew, so it was the gift that keeps on giving. 🌿😀🌸

What a great video Diane. Lots of lovely ideas for presents. I always think us gardeners are easy to buy for as you can go as expensive or cheap as you want. When my nephew was little he bought me some packets of seeds and they were one of my best presents. One of the tools I use a lot is a Hori Hori knife. My dad was horrified when he heard how much it was and said an old bread knife would do the same thing! I also use my trug all the time. That's a fabulous monkey puzzle tree in your neighbour's garden. I'd love one but my garden is too small.

So many great ideas,I’m going to look for the welly socks here in the USA, or break down and make some.😊

A very useful video that you have obviously put a lot of thought into. Great gift ideas for gardeners!! Brilliant - thank you!

thank you, some great ideas, I hope Santa hears this !!!!🤩

Those bulbs are going to look great on your ladder Diane. One thing that makes me so irritated is a so called indelible marker pen that doesn't work. I've even had some that work on a few labels but not them all. Andrew and Paul on the Mad about Gardening channel have a little hand held machine that prints their labels and I keep wondering if I should splash out on one. I've been planting Tulip bulbs today as it's been nice and dry outside. Just hope the squirrels don't dig them up! Hope you have a lovely week. xxx

Bravo Diane I just love bulb planting, the promise of things to come after the dark cold days of winter. I like topping mine with horticultural grit the last bag I bought was dark granite as it was all available locally. I prefer the sandy buff colour. You are inspirational and very easy to watch, thank you for sharing, bfn.🐞🌻🌱

Very enjoyable video ❤ inspiring. I have some bulbs to plant along with garlic …hopefully this weekend

I ordered miniature daffodils for next spring and have been potting them in containers, very excited for next spring.

I love that the ladder is interchangeable. I look forward to seeing the bulb show! This inspires me to get out and buy some different bulbs, those are so pretty! My squirrels eat crocus bulbs, but maybe if I grow them in my poly tunnel I’d have some luck. Bulb planting is fun,for sure. 🌸🌸🌸😀🌸🌸🌸

Lovely to see Shirley again. It's great seeing how Shirley can continue to get her ideas for it sorted with your help and obviously see how she loves her garden. 😊

Shirley's garden is looking great. I always used to cut the Crocosmia down this time of year then 2 years I was stopped in my tracks when I found a ladybird colony deep in the base of the leaves. Now I use a 2ft bamboo cane and natural twine to hold them semi upright till Spring when new shoots appear then I trim to the ground. I think, the blooms seem more abundant now. Thank you for sharing Shirley's garden. bfn. 🐞🌻🌱

Gardening is so much nicer when we do it with another person. You and Shirley make a good team. So envious that you can get on the grass as mine is saturated and so squelchy. Probably another Margo moment on its way! Lovely to see you both. xxx

Cutting back makes a big difference and lovely to see Shirley in her garden.

Hi Diane, Enjoyed watching you pottering in your new greenhouse, whilst having my morning coffee, I must have missed this one last year. Thanks for sharing, bfn. 🐞🌻🌱

It’s always lovely to see Shirley and her beautiful garden. Amazing how much of a difference a little bit of cutting back makes. I’ve never had much luck with alstroemerias but Shirley’s dark leaved one has inspired me to have another go and see if I can find a similar one. x

Shirley’s garden is so beautiful, I always enjoy visiting! This summer I think I accidentally removed some golden rod that had volunteered in my garden. Darn! Great teamwork, nice and tidy, now. Were your parents gardeners? I’m asking since you are both such accomplished gardeners yourselves. We have a new cat in the neighborhood, I’m hoping he gets along with my wild rabbits and doesn’t eat them. He’s a beautiful Bengal cat, when I first saw him, I thought I was seeing a leopard! 🍁🌿😀🍂💕

Great tidy up. Does Shirley leave her alstromeria in ground for winter. I bought one and it's in a pot and I wasn't sure if it would survive for the winter so I took it into conservatory. Hope it will be ok.

A Good Team job, well done girls👍

Great video. I do much the same as yourself. Last Autumn I did an experiment. After shredding the leaves, I mulched my beds with about 4-6" and kept them wet to prevent them from blowing away. Come Spring time, a good percentage of it had rotted down, resulting me having hardly any weeding to do this year. The only problem I found with this method was, the birds kept digging holes all over the garden for worms and scattering it onto my gravel (which was a small price to pay). I also mix plenty of leaves into my compost bin and give it a good mix.

I put my bagger attachment on my garden tractor. I used to dump my leaves in the woods to keep the weeds down, but I am making a huge pile this year and composting. I plan to knock the pile down and recollect them so they are cut smaller.

What about black oak and scrub oak left, how do you treat them? They have like an oil to them. But these are the kind of trees around my house. And acorns are a big problem. Please help

Wow, it’s amazing to see them spring back up in such a short time… I suspect with the soil Being frozen this stops the roots being able to soak up moisture. Then when the soil defrosts the plant is able to consume water again and fill up its cells again

That leaf sucker doesn't work very well

Love all the foliage no flowers

Seems a lot of work Diane, I have a adjustable rake and a couple of different brushes to clear leaves. I did try the leaf mould in old compost bags a couple of years ago, but it didn't seem to give the "black Gold" results I was hoping for. When I moved the bags, they had been acting as a overwintering snail colony. I do love your concept of sustainability in the garden. You are lethal with the shears in hand,✂ 🤣Thanks for sharing, bfn🐞🌻🌱

Good to see that you're getting good use of your greenhouse and cold frames. Invaluable for this time of the year. I'll have to check on my plants tomorrow and tuck them in a more sheltered area. Thanks for filming and showing us Diane. x

Thank You!!! I learned a lot from this video. I was raking leaves into a large plastic bag, squishing it down, and letting it sit for a year (occasionally squishing at random times). But, I never added water 🤦‍♀️ or poked holes in the bag. I will try your method. It's beautiful. 🙂

LOVE what you taught me today. Thank you! BUT here in the states vacuuming your yard is a clear sign of meth use😂

Great informative video! I pick up shredded leaves by the church, they make a lot. I push away the dirt/soil in the pallets and lay down the leaves, and put the dirt/soil back on. The leaves will now become mould/dirt while I grow on top of the pallet. I also mix with grassclippings, shredded paper or eggcartons. When the growingseason is over, I've made myself 2000 liter of new dirt to use. Talk about feeling happy😊 Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

Great informative video Diane. I like your leaf blower/sucker. If I had more leaves I'd get one but all I get is fallen berries from a children's play area that backs onto my garden. I usually get my brother to fill a few sacks of his leaves as he has no shortage at this time of the year and as you said, it does make lovely mulch for our flower beds.

I put my leaves in a metal garbage can and take my weed wackier and shred them in that, leaf mold I swear is more precious to me than compost.😊

Brilliant video and perfect timing. I ve learnt so much from you. Thank you Diane I love your channel x

So nice that you worry about the small creatures. That was gorgeous leaf mould from last year! How satisfying to make your own natural amendments. I collect whole leaves and it does take a long time to break down. I’m determined to find a way to shred them this year. I think it’s fun too! Great demo!🍁 🍁🍁🍁😃🍂🍂🍂

A woman after my own hart !! Thanks for a good vlog

Great advise as always. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing x

All my tenders and succulent's are tucked away in the green house, I put them inside much earlier than normal. The wet weather was relentless and I did not want things rotting off. Great video Diane enjoying with my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing, bfn. 🐞🌻🌱

How great that you have started so much already in the greenhouse! It’s a lot of work preparing for frost. Sounds like you have a proven plan. I’m sure your greenhouse and cold frames are wonderful to have now. It’s hot here during the day this week, so strange, but I’m watching the weather forecast closely! 🌿🌿🌿😀

Lots of good advice Diane, thanks 😊

Thank you, for all your good advice, have a good week

Lovely to bump into you today Diane. Breagh got a little thrown hearing your voice on the video so soon after seeing you. This is a great recommendation for our next stay near Harrogate. It looks gorgeous. Thank you. Great editing and a really nice video. I’m sure you’ve given the RHS PR guys some ideas.

What a lovely garden Diane. Can't believe how much colour is still around for this time of the year. I'm sure that you and your sisters had a great time together. So nice that you all get together and enjoy visiting gardens. xxx

A lovely garden tour Diane. I visited Harlow Carr last summer and was blown away by it. Such a beautiful and well maintained garden full of ideas to take home. I hope you managed to fit in lunch at Betty’s, that was one of our highlights!! Have a good weekend xx

Lovely video, thank you.
