I love watching your videos, no matter what you're doing on them. There is so much warmth and joy in the way you move around your garden, the way you touch your plants and talk about them and about wildlife... Keep posting them 🙏
Yes, please keep making the video's they are always a jy to watch!
It would be great to see a video on how you pickle your beetroot x
Interested in the pickling aswell
Really enjoyed this video, especially your taking the time to name and identify plants. Again thanks and best wishes. from 76 year old from US, Indiana.
Hi Katrina. Did I hear correctly! Your wedding flowers for next year? Congratulations love. I wish you both love, happiness and every good thing. My husband and I met at 18, married at 24. In March 22 we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. His my sole mate. I wish you as much love and happiness as we’re have enjoyed. Lots of love Kim xxx
To pave your paths in grass was a great idea and turned out to be quite a success. Makes your allotment look very posh.
I cannot wait to see what you come up with for wedding flowers, how exciting! I know it will be absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations, loved the tour and it was not boring at all. Although it was painful watching all of those nasturtiums get ripped up, it made sense why you did it. We had that sort of October for the last few years and it was such a blessing. Every day felt like a gift. This year is a different story and we had the hardest earliest freeze ever. I had to turn on my furnace at home a full month ealier than normal and everything died weeks ago. So it was fun watching you enjoy a warm October in you garden.
Watching you cut back those gorgeous nasturtiums 😭😭 It's so hard this time of year to cut things that are still flourishing and seeing happy full bellied bees. Since you and your fiancé like spicy foods, have you ever made pesto from nasturtium leaves? It's peppery tasting. Good gift during the holidays as well. Love your videos because its always educational for me. You have a phenomenal knowledge of plants and today's bonus was the fungi. Thanks!
So jealous😉😃 hope you're having a great day, your video never fail to brighten my day :)
You can make 'fake capers' out of those natursium seeds. Yum yum.
Very interesting and informative as always Katrina. Now I'm heading over to your next video to learn how to pickle beetroot.
I always enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from your more casual garden style. I live in Hawaii so we don’t have to worry about wildlife needed to find places to hide in the winter. However, I have started to embrace the toads in my garden since you have taught me the value of having them in the garden.
This is so lovely to hear 🥹 🐸
I can agree about Autumn feeling like a bit of spring after a dry summer.
It’s so strange! I’m actually looking forward to it cooling down.
Enjoyed the tour. Always love a natural lush wildlife friendly garden like yours. Great to hear that you are making a good recovery. Recommend drinking fresh herb teas and salt baths, to enhance immune system. Raw parsley is a multivitamin. And I've seen Niamh from Fairyland Cottage adding one nettle leaf to a cup of tea.
Chocolate Hob nobs are the best!
Agree. I like to dip them in cream.
Very nice to see that you are doing well in the garden
always look forward to your videos
I've just recently discovered your channel, having taken on an allotment plot at the start of October. I love your approach to overwintering, and how you leave little pockets of your space to grow wild for the wildlife. My plot neighbour does this too and I think I will try to do the same once I've really got started.
This is so wonderful to hear I’m grateful that you’re adopting the same approach 🤍
Lovely to see a garden that's actually full of plants for a change!!!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom while gardening. You may thing most may know the basic but many don’t! Your knowledge you share is good for the earth and critters 🌼🐝
hi Katrina that was an interesting video of yours and it was nice to see you again hope you have a great week and I'll look forward to seeing your next video
Great! Those beetroot look fantastic 😍
Great video, enjoy your beetroot 😋
Your ethos is wonderful! It’s not messy it’s beautiful and aligned with nature and the earth! Perfect!❤
Thanks for the great video , hope you have a great day in your garden 🪴 😊
Loving the grass paths and your strimmer, it does seem to make keeping the paths neat and tidy a quick straightforward job AND it looks great 👍
So good to see you again, I’m glad you’re feeling better! I’d love to see you pickle your beetroot, it’s a favorite dish!
Always enjoy you puttering around your garden, it’s so relaxing and loved your beetroot harvest they look great, please do more of these🌱🌱💕💕
Your garden is so wonderful and lush 💚
Thanks for watching 😊
Greetings from malta watch every video so refreshing
To have all those flowers this time of year :) 😍😍😍
Congrats hope the wedding flowers grow well.
Watch this space! Might start a wedding flower series if people are interested 😅
Pickle biteroot, yes please 👍💯
Love to see how you pickle the beetroot. Thank you for all your videos! It’s really nice!
My pleasure 😊
So envious of your nasturtiums, I have such a hard time growing them. Would love to see your pickling process and really want to find out about your wedding flowers! Thanks for another inspiring video.
I'm glad to see you're feeling better. The sod took nicely and looks lush.
I really appreciate that you don't stress-out about a crop failure or unfinished garden chores, which are situations that every gardener can relate to. This seems like a healthy attitude to adopt.
lovely video
What fun hanging out with you in the garden today Katrina. Of course you were doing all the work but I enjoy watching others get their gardens together. I agree, leave something for the wild life to rummage and hibernate in.
Great !!! 🎃
Giggling at your fighting wth the nasturtium lol 😂 I waa similar few weeks ago .love ya videos tu
Great video. You have such a joyful space there. Love the coral fungi. My chillies havn't been that productive this year either.
I love a ramble in the bramble.
I really enjoy watching all of you videos. You grow so much variety in such a small space....love it!!
Thanks for watching and commenting! 💚
Oh lol, creepy sweetcorn at Halloween!
👻 🎃
Hello! You work incredibly fast! And nasturtiums are not afraid of anything. Good luck to you👍🌻💙
Thanks for sharing your fall work. NW Missouri had a couple of hard freeze days ( 20 F) in early October which burned off the tender plants then back into the 70 F so some perennial plants started bud again like spring just a weird weather enjoy the mild fall and happy you feeling better 👨🌾
We really enjoy your videos. Blessings, Rochelle
Thank you so much!
My nasturtiums are also flourishing and some have even reappeared in a place I hadn't been aware I'd planted them ;-). The flowers, leaves and seeds are edible, as you maybe know..beauty and nourishment. Love your allotment.
Superbe vidéo bravo Merci pour ce partage 😉
A bientôt, 👍 👍 👍
Merci beaucoup
@@homegrowngarden de rien c'est avec plaisir 😉
I love beetroot and would love to see your process
Yes please to the Beetroot pickling tutorial. I too have managed to grow decent beets this year. 1st time ever. Xx
Hi Katrina! A lovely info about your Homegrown Garden. Good information, I appricate that very much! Greetings Pieter Smit from the Netherlands!😃🌻🌼🍁🍂🍃👍
Love to see pickling video. 👍
Noted!
💖I adore your garden. I needed to do some of the same with mine garden too! I would love a beet root picking recipe! 💖
Very mild here too and we're 1330ft above sea level on the Pennines! We still have cosmos! 14c here!
2nd...yay!
Hey Richard! Hope you’re well 😊
Yes, share the pickling. I've made cucumber relish, but never pickled beets.
I tried nasturtium pesto this year and it was delicious over pasta...😁
I add the nasturism leaves and flowers to salad and I have also dehydrated both for tea. 😊
Great tip!
That’s my focus this month too! I’m shocked it’s so warm! Warm and wet lol
I’m ready for the rain to stop now 😅
@@homegrowngarden it’s very very wet isnt it lol I think we found the summer rain! It’s very warm tho!
Aye, up here in NW England we have nasturtiums in flower in a couple of beds, one has surrounded a couple of winter cabbage and they're the only ones that haven't been eaten by bugs/slugs.
And a dalia in full bloom randomly in the soil bin (bit like a compost bin, but where we put used compost/soil out of pots or where we dug up a surplus for whatever reason).
Envious of your beetroots, our have been quite small.
Love you videos, clean up, tidying up, tours, whatever! Would love to see a video of making pickled beets, then hopefully I can try too!
Will do!!
Yes please to pickling beets segment!
Hello sweetheart. I love your videos too. May I give you an advice?Don't trimm and don't throw away your nasturmium. Make a tincture from your healthy plant. All you need is a bottle of vodka or another clear alcohol without any taste and chopped nasturmium leaves. Oh, and an empty jar, of course...Then 3 weeks on the window sill and then strain and put in a dark bottle. This tincture is great when you are cold, for flu, but it can help also with inflammations in the body, with the bladder, gynecological problems, with the respiratory system, it is also great for staphylococcus aureus. Just one teaspoon of tincture (or 25 drops) three times a day during problems. I'm doing mine every summer, because it's much cheaper than tincture from a pharmacy.😊 And it's the same thing. Alcohol+nasturmium. Greetings from the Czech republic (EU).😘Lenka
Hi from Arizona USA, really enjoy your videos! Also, interested in your recipe for pickling beets. My wife and I both had covid after both shots and the booster. We took a cruise where everybody had to be fully vaxed and boosted. The safest place we thought. LOL!
Super interesting vlog looks amazing ghost chillis are evil unless you want to say goodbye to your taste buds for an hour :)
We're going to have a high of 74°F (23°C). My garlic has already sprouted! It's a hard neck so supposedly I don't need to worry. I hope so because it's the largest crop I've ever planted.
o yes show us
A great update seeing what you’re up to. Will you cut back the chilli plants for overwintering?
We had a couple nights of freezing temps a week back, but I covered the tomato plants and they made it through. They've been continuing to develop and ripen fruit in the sunny weather we've been having (rained today though). If the current forecast holds, they should be fine until well into November.
How lovely to grow all your wedding flowers. Glad you're feeling better, that's the 2nd bout of covid for you isnt it? Weeds are everywhere in my allotment, but I do a bit each day. Its certainly been a very mild October.
Well I hope to grow all of them, we’ll have to see how that turns out 😅 Yes it’s the second time I’ve had it now but it wasn’t as bad and I recovered much quicker. Thanks for watching! ❤
Loved your coral fungi and I’d love to see a video on how you pickle your beetroot. ❤
Coming soon!
u got civid twice then ...bummer...so cool u gonna grow your own wedding flowers ! Hope they grow just perfect for you :)
I did yeah but the recovery was much quicker this time thanks to the vaccine!
Always enjoy your videos whatever you're doing in your garden 'would like to see the beetroot pickling to get some pointers.
Sorry you had to put off some chores, it's looking pretty now. I've been curious to how the grass worked out helping with the ants, hope they weren't nearly as bad. I'd be happy to see you're pickled beets recipe, seems they liked their neighbors this summer 😊
👍
Hi I’d love to see how you do your beetroot im harvesting mine this week and love it xx
Here in mid-Wales, I'm still picking strawberries and the plants are flowering! My garden is at 1000 feet above sea-level. There are catkins in the hedges and a friend has got daffodils which look like they will flower soon.
It’s so strange
Look at Victoria in Australia, in fact the East Coast , Cold & Wet & Wet & Wet. Normally this time of year it’s often wet but not like this & we get warmer days too.
Always a joy. Glad you've recovered from your second bout of covid as well as flu. Beetroot hmmm it's not something I have eaten a lot of but is it easy to grow? Silly kiwi bloke question I know. lol
I'd love to see your beetroot pickling video. I currently have a jar of pickled ginger I'm enjoying that I made last week but sadly it was shop bought ginger.
Winter is coming.
Or is it? It’s so flippin’ warm! 😅
Don't feel like it.
@@homegrowngarden While we had a freeze a little while back, it's been average or above most of the time since. Next week after this rain moves out we'll be in the 70sF (20sC). I was able to protect my tomatoes so they are still at work for the next few weeks or so.
Oh no you got COVID again?? I need to start leaving my roots in ground like you! I would love to see any indoor projects you have, with pressing leaves flowers, pickling etc. Omg yes, I watched a few fungus documentaries over the summer. They're so cool. I bought honesty seeds bc of you.
I saw on a garden prog, probably on tv, an honesty with more oval pointed seed heads. Can't seem to find where I could buy seeds. Just getting more wintry now, but some trees not shed all their leaves, here on Merseyside, UK.
Hello from the Florida panhandle, just subscribed. Just transplanted my never grown Nasturtium. Apparently I have been fussing over them too much😅. Guess you don't eat them.
Lovely video, always enjoy them. Do you eat the Nasturtium flowers or use the green seeds? My kids love sucking the nectar out of the flowers. Here in Australia, I’m just planting all the spring veg and flowers, but we’ve had so much rain - loads more than usual.
Hey!!! Are you going to lift and store your Dahlias this year? I'm holding off until the first frost before lifting them but will it ever come?! Thanks x
Always interested in your amazing allotment. If I gardened mine as you do yours I would get a letter from the Council telling me to tidy it up or leave! Also interested in your pond because as a result of you starting yours, I did the same and now have two ponds, one a half wine barrel and one a small cattle trough and I installed 13 in one pond and 12 in the other but how you manage to count how many fish you have beats me because they are always darting around! I have a feeling that one of the ponds has lost some fish, but no sign of any little bodies floating on the surface, so I really don't know. Blanket weed is a bit of a problem.
Would love to see your pickled beetroot recipe 👍
Coming soon!
6,35 вы ангел с белоголубыми сзади крылями😇☺
My dahlias are still flowering here in South East England. I would like to know when you'd be overwintering your dahlias?
Are you doing anymore seed sowing for fall/winter? I would love to see that be it flowers, herbs or veggies. Hope you get back to your 100% self soon. The way you tackle your hedges, I think you need to get back your brute strength 💪
Did you have covid again kat? I’ve just had it for the first time and it knocked me out for ten days 😢 hope you’re feeling a lot better soon! Your videos are so informative and relaxing! All the best x
Oh no, sorry to hear that. I hope you’re better now. I recovered a lot quicker the second time which I think is down to the vaccine! Thanks for watching ❤
@@homegrowngarden that’s good to know plus it seems the one about now is not as bad but my vaccines were summer 2021 which may not have helped! I’m getting there now but I was on my own too which was a bit more miserable: no one to bring cups of tea! Glad you’re on the mend now! Onwards and upwards
For the nasturtiums, why don't you save and eat them?
Yes pls to a pickled beets video!
Because I don’t like the taste 😄 I love spicy hot food but not peppery. It’s why I don’t grow rocket leaves bleh.
I love to watch your videos, please post your beetroot video.
👌🏻🌻👍
HI I would love to know how you pickle Beetroots
Iv watched this for over a yr now my dahlias are still amazing should I lift or mulch
Thanks for being here! Dahlia lifting Vs mulching all depends on where you are in the country and your type of soil. I have a video that may help - ua-cam.com/video/aZlo7kOmOpw/v-deo.html
Hi Katrina. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Can you share what types of flowers you will be growing for this? Thank you. Did you show your apple harvest? I missed it if you did.
Yes, she used her new gadget to pick her apples
And she also talked about the flowers she wants to grow for her wedding.
Cleaning up a bit in my Allotment garden as well and the past week the weather was very nice to be out .
I would like an apple tree next year .
Do you now what kind of apple is in your garden ?
Unfortunately I don’t know for sure as the tree was planted long before I had the allotment. It’s quite similar to the Cox Orange Pippin.
@@homegrowngarden I had a lot of surprise plants in our garden too , but no veggies or fruits .
I made raised beds on the back terrace because I wanted healthy soil to grow vegetables in .
I will look at apple trees and try to get a nice one .
I'm not sure if I can get the same ones in the Netherlands .
Thank you !
Hi I had a fall from a chair and now I'm recovering..
Pickled beets? Yes please and maybe a chutney recipe? I love this channel!!
I have a chutney video already if you missed it last year 😊 ua-cam.com/video/b_rm57sqwG8/v-deo.html
Pickling will commence tomorrow 😁👩🍳
