Happy 2022~ I sorted all my seeds yesterday ✅ am ridding the house of clutter ✅ organized the garage ✅ mucked out the barn ✅ and excited to grow a perennial herb garden this year. 😃 All of my vacation days from work this year are going to be spent at home reclaiming now that all my children are over 20/grown adult women. For whatever the world brings to my front door, I will greet it with patience, honesty and a large cup of home grown tea. ☕️
Glad you're better! Happy New Year!! I just ordered a dozen small bare root flowering and berrying trees to start turning my small property into a more natural, inviting place for birds.
I get so excited when I see you put up a new video. I turn my volume up and make it full screen. Love seeing your puppies and landscape. Enjoy visiting with you. Glad you are feeling better.
Happy New Year Terri and family. Im sorry to hear you have been unwell, sending much love and healing to you. I have just taken a leap of faith and handed in my notice! Also ,as a family,we have rented a small field longterm and are in the middle of putting up a polytunnel,shed and childrens learning area,busy productive year ahead. Thankyou for your continued inspiration via your videos. Best wishes xxxx
Hello Terry and Lol. Happiest of New Year to you both. So sorry you have been ill Terry it sounded like your throat might be still sore. Lovely to hear of your creative plans, Lol make sure we get to see what you do with & around the herb house, I’m in love with it. Terry soap making, basket weaving on top of your other things will keep you busy. Here it’s summer but a very mixed bag, hence vegetable seedlings struggling, but some great potatoes harvested for and after Christmas and more to come plus blueberries first harvest off two year old bushes and loads. It’s summers like this I wish I had room for a greenhouse even a small one, my cheap little poly house was shredded the first year and haven’t bothered as two covers in one season looked like yours. I think our gale winds love our garden. Covid has finally arrived in Tasmania a week after opening our border, so going from zero in over a year to cases rising rapidly now over 3000 supposedly new strain O, so pretty scary at the moment and plans to visit UK in May once again causing concern. We were so lucky for so long. Luckily our population here in Tas has very high vaccination rates but people still coming down with it. We’ve enjoyed having our youngest son and partner and our new two month old granddaughter visit over Christmas from Melbourne and middle son still here from Queensland, making for a wonderful Christmas time. So my plans for 2022 unlike you are on hold…..I will re commence making soap and start trying out other body products in Feb having stocked up with requisites. Try and Get back on line to undertake a garden course Charles Dowding I signed up for late last year. And try to dodge covid if possible. Stay safe over there in Ireland. Love from Tasmania
Love to you too Tassie Girl and a very happy New Year. Yes, we are planning to be busy, I am full of enthusiasm and can't wait to get started. Don't be worried about the germs - over 99% of people survive, I think that is what I had over Christmas. Glad to hear your Christmas celebrations were lovely with your family. xxx
For me, there is nothing better on a cold winters day, than a hot cup of coffee and my seed stash and my seed catalogs. I could curl up under a blanket all day and happily dream a new garden into being.🐝❤️🤗
That's exactly what I do! I would never through them into the bin. I give them the chance and I have no doubt some will germinate even though they are 6,7,8 years or more old.
Thanks for your video. I hope you are mending well after your recent bought of not feeling well. Winter is always a tough time of year and it isn't surprising, with less daylight and cold dreary weather, that folk wain a bit. I've been feeling it too and I'm always intuitively working on that herbal medicine level so I can try to help myself. Back in the late fall I fortunately found an excellent birch polypore growing on a large birch tree not far from my cabin door. I harvested that polypore (a bracket fungi), slivered it up, dried all of that and I'm using that medicine, combined with dandelion and burdock root, on a daily basis (3 cups per day) for a week at a time. Each week I switch up my herb tea. After drinking the polypore/root decoction for a week I infuse nettles, mullein, horehound, various mints, calendula blossom, chinese green tea, marjoram, lemon balm, ground ivy, roiboos and raspberry leaf (at times discluding several of those herbs with each infusion and sometimes including other herbs such as plantain, golden rod, cleavers, St. Johns Wort and Equisetum arvense, depending on what I am feeling that I need at the time). Here winter has been a pretty tough go so far. We have a mountain of snow on the ground and it has been cold, down to -16 Celcius (which is on the cold side for this mountain valley). Over the mountains (east) and up north, those folk have been experiencing real cold, down to -40 C. (and colder) for weeks on end now. With all the snow we have now, since mid-December, I worry about my wild deer friends as those poor creatures have a very hard time in this deep snow. Snow is waist deep now in most places in this valley at this lower elevation, deeper still as one goes up the mountain to the ten thousand foot level. There is a high avalanche risk now and people are being warned not to travel into the back country as the danger is extreme. Here in the Kootenays, I don't begin to plant my garden until April 1st in general. With this much snow (and more is forecast over the next two weeks) I am sure there will be snow until at least the beginning of April this year unless there is a real shift and things warm up a lot before then, but that is not too likely. Out on the west coast, 500 miles by road from here, they are having an unusually cold and brutal winter so far as well. It seems the weather is so unpredictable now with climate changing everywhere. Once March arrives I'll begin pruning the fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, cherries) that grow in my garden and around the yard. Once the snow is gone I'll be busy doing garden clean-up and cultivating for this years crop. I'm certainly glad, and fortunate, that my garden produces so much food for myself and others. I'm hearing that food prices in grocery stores have risen dramatically due to covid, shipping problems and crop failures (due to extreme weather events). I'm glad, and fortunate too, to have all these herbs that I cultivate and collect from nature during late spring and early summer for my own medicine. I've been moving so much snow in recent weeks that my old back is aching a bit and I miss the hot springs (covid has closed them down) that I used to visit weekly over the past forty years. The other day, after pushing mounds of snow to clear my usual paths, I put on my snowshoes and packed a trail around the cabin just to give myself a bit more area in the yard to walk on and to get to my satellite dish so I could brush the snow build-up away without wading through waist deep snow. I can't say I have a lot of fun anymore during winter (I used to ski a lot) as living alone keeps me indoors a lot more than in the old days. At this point I pretty much chop wood to keep the stove going, keep myself hydrated with water and herb teas, watch things on television and the internet, sleep more than normal, play music on my keyboard and accordion, cook myself some nourishing food once a day or so, and try to keep myself out of the doldrums. Being isolated and hardly seeing another person (for the past two years with covid restrictions) has taken its toll and I am feeling my age now more than ever. By St. Patrick's day I am feeling more hopeful as by then spring is never far off. Hopefully the remainder of this winter won't be too bad for everyone. Take care yourself, be well and best wishes with all your endeavours. Cheers!
Wow - your weather is extreme compared to ours. We are as wet and green as ever here apart from a smattering of snow on the mountain tops. What a lot of work you have to do just to be able to get in and out and I can imagine how difficult it must be for deer. The weather is definitely changing but I don't think it is necessarily warming, getting hotter in some places and colder in others and I think it is due to land exploitation and mismanagement. I wish I could think of some way to relieve your isolation. Is there any way you could make music with people on line?? Is there a local community radio or something that could put people in touch with each other? I am not surprised that you feel isolated and that the isolation has taken its toll. Would you consider taking in a Wooffer or someone doing Work Away? I hope you have enough food to keep you going and hope your winter ends sooner rather than later. Sending you very best wishes for 2022 - good health and happiness!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks for your kind reply. Back in the years when I was a shepherd, with my goats, horses and dogs, I never felt alone. When I was divorced in 2008 everything changed. I sold my animals and went off to Australia for a while before returning here to this cabin. Prior to covid I got myself involved (for five years) in a monthly poetry slam event in the small city of Nelson which is a two hour drive from my small village. That monthly event connected me with a lot of other poets, writers and performers, which was a real blessing for me. Here in Argenta our community would have regular events that took place at the community hall but with covid that has all disappeared and people are pretty much keeping to themselves, although some have close friends and family that they still see regularly. I'm one of the old folk now and because of my shepherding I really had a very small friends list. Those people, mostly other men that I played music with on a weekly basis, are either dead now or have moved away. Such is life. Once spring arrives and I can get out to work in my yard and garden things lighten up a lot for me. My last dog died back in April 2014 so since then I've been completely alone, but I'm pretty used to being alone so I cope fairly well. I do miss that connection with those other poets and writers which I would see in Nelson once a month and I certainly miss that weekly visit to the local hot springs. Once I have my booster shot, in about 2 1/2 weeks from now, I am hoping I can get back to soaking in the hot springs as they are now allowing vaccinated people to reserve a visit, but I remain unsure of being close to people even if they are vaccinated. I guess covid has changed the world forever. Hopefully we'll all see some recovery in the next year or so. With the weather it seems to me the real problem is the warming oceans, which in turn create these significant and disastrous weather events we are seeing all around the planet. With so many glaciers quickly melting, as well as the Greenland icefields and the Antarctic icecap, all that fresh water spilling into the oceans is a huge problem. I think our planet is in great peril at this point in time and all we can do is try to live our lives in a healthy, respectful and caring way. Let's hope things will turn around and our world will recover from all these ailments. I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I have chosen this life style. Take care yourself and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your winter. Cheers!
So glad that to see that you are feeling better. Can't wait for Feb to come to take your course. I just made some cough drops out of the honey I infused with thyme, basil and rosemary, and lemon. I got some bee pollen from a friend of mine so I can put them in gelatin capsules for our vitamins. I just got some fresh peppermint from my local grocery store to infuse more honey with it.
Just a lovely video…I too am looking through my seeds and planning some indoor seeding next month! Such a great feeling of anticipation at this time of year, with spring on the way🌷
So sorry you were feeling ill...lots of healing thoughts coming your way💝 I would like to see weaving baskets- videos plz🧺🌱🌾 As I have chronic fatigue, hard work in the garden is a challenge...but little by little I make progress. I made raised beds to make it easier. The herbal garden I will try to manage this year. Blessings to all for this year 💖💖💖 Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
Can’t wait for the herbal class! We too are planning the garden. It looks like you save your own seeds how wonderful. Last year I was able to raise Hopi Pale Grey Squash and save the seed it was almost extinct a few years back. It’s has a lovely orange flesh. We make pie with it that is better than pumpkin. Do you check your pantry to determine what will need replenished for the year that’s our big drive here for choosing what to plant. Happy Planning!
That is great - that you have saved seeds from something becoming extinct. I remember seeing an old American man on a documentary who was saving heirloom seeds. He was concerned that when he died God would say, what happened to the 54 varieties of beets I gave you, and the hundreds of varieties of peas and the 97 varieties of beans (just making up those figures cos I can't remember now ) and he said he wanted to show gratitude. That has always inspired me to use heirloom seeds. I am going to try and find ways of preserving food beyond freezing.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden we dry many things but I learned to can from my mom so we put up so much that way. We’re vegan now but we even can meat, butter, milk. Good luck with your journey.
I'm so pleased that more and more people are taking the saving of heirlooms seriously. Years ago a local organic farmer introduced us to heirloom varieties of potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and greens. Our favorite collards he called Greasy Greens. But, were could but find a source for seeds. This Christmas my daughter gave me a packet of seeds that she found from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They are called Green Glaze organic collards. It's one of my favorite gifts this year. We can hardly wait to show these seeds.
I was hoping you would do more with herbs I live love herbs creating healing jars, etc also teas and some minor medicine would love to learn more thank you so much
😃 I am one that never throw out my garden stuff..i take old seeds put them in water n see if they float. Sometimes getting just the packet damp will bring on sprouts and I have a patch of dirt that I throw random seeds in some sprout n I end up with turnips carrots radishes n calendula n peas all nestled together 😁
How beautiful! That's what I mean re old seeds. Sometimes I test viability by seeing if they will sprout but most of the time I just do what you did although I never had such a good display as you!
Thank you for your enthusiasm as the last few weeks have been low with a family member being very ill. She's back on the mend but we haven't had our family get together for Christmas yet and things are a bit chaotic and plans went totally out the window. But you have just snapped me out of the doldrums and I've set myself back on the path. I hope 2022 is a great one for you, take care =-)
I hope she continues to get better and that you all get chance to be together as a family. All of ye here got me out of the doldrums and it has been a knock on effect for people. Wishing you the brightest and best year with good health and happiness for all. xx
Happy New Year Terri, Lol, Jazz & Broc...Always excited to see new upload...It is Truly Beautiful where you Live, & Your home is So cosy looking...I Love looking through Seed packets, & Think of the warmer times to come... Thank You ☘💚
Hello Terri, so glad you are well again. I really missed you around the christmas days, every video gives me great joy and inspiration. I will be planning for my cutting garden: lots of dahlias (also with open centers for the pollinators), sowing cosmos, zinnia, larkspur, snapdragon, ammi majus etc., many of these are ecellent for pollinators which is very important. I also ordered some californian poppy seeds to sow (the orange single ones like those in your polytunnel), I will try to make my very first tincture with them. Thank you for all your love and care and inspiration and see you soon!
Happy New Year! Your garden sounds like it will be full of beautiful colour and some amazing plants. I have been very fortunate to receive some California Poppy from a lady in California that are also yellow and red so I am looking forward to sowing those seeds - (thanks Eileen). Enjoy your tincture making!
Blessings to you my dear 💞💞 Very happy for your new projects, you're a great inspiration for your followers! Yes, it's a must to become more and more self sufficiency in these times...you know... Big hugs !!
Hi, I am so happy you and your husband were able to have a little down time together for planning. I am also happy you are feeling better and so sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. I love how you are so self sufficient and working on being that way (more) in your near future. I really does look cold, wet and windy there. I love your seed box, that is such a great idea to keep up with them. Thanks so much for sharing and can not wait to see your amazing Transition you have come through with all your hard work. Take care till next time.
Good luck with your gardens and all your plans for 2022. I as well was sick and the fatigue was awful. Nice to come out on the other side of it when you are in your 70s like me.Lowell must be part Hobbitt. Love his shed creation. I would love to garden more but the frost is not out of our ground till maybe the end of May. I have raised beds for veggies and buckets for flowers as our soil no matter how you enhance it is rock solid by fall. The prairies are not an easy place to garden. I will garden vicariously through you. Hugs
I'm sorry you've been under the weather. May 2022 bring success to all of your projects. Thanks for doing these wonderful videos. I always look forward to watching them.
Hi Terri..glad you are feeling better. I have been sick as well! Planning a lot out side of my home. I've been working on the inside all winter. Can't wait to get out there🌹
So happy that you are feeling a lot better and are full of vim and vigour to get the garden happening - can't wait to see what you do!! We are going to be getting our house painted and polished, and the gardens sorted ready to sell this year - we are hoping to move to a quieter rural area hopefully with a little bit more land so we can be a bit more self sufficient... New Year blessings to you, Lol and the doggies xxx
So sorry you was not do well, so glad your feeling better, I love this time of year for new plans sometimes you have to stop to connect with that space, As you know at Woo in the Willows with renovations of land and house, some of our plans run into year after and so on! The sustainable living side with the body products also. Happy New Year to you, good luck with your new plans and adventures 💚🌿xx
Wendy - I never made the connection that you are Woo!!!! Great to meet you. We should organise a visit someday as we are so close. Our plans are the same - running into years😅 Hope your home renovations are going well and blessings and good wishes to you too. xxx
I am glad you feel better. I understand about the repair work. I am just out of the hospital and recovering myself and try to catch up on the work and planning a small garden thus year. Blessings sent your way.
Great to see you again , Terri... always love to see the bell for your latest video popping up on my screen! I have started saving the seed from some lovely organic squash I got in my local SuperValu over Christmas. Thankfully you are feeling better and getting your energy back, Terri. Beautiful music, Lol!
So sorry to hear that you were ill over the festive period but very glad to hear that you have recovered. I think that sometimes the body just knows we need a rest and a chance to slow down with our own thoughts and all your plans sound great. My current plan for the New Year is to fully embrace a vegan lifestyle - not just for January! I have dabbled with it before but it is difficult ad my husband has no intention of giving up meat. My plan is to create a lot of plant-based recipes that are so delicious that he will be tempted to join me on many occasions! Love to you, Lol and your furry family xxx ❤
It is difficult but good luck with it. My daughters are strict vegetarians. My son in law loves food and enjoys his meat too - or he did! Since the last year he has restricted himself to meat only when they eat out and even then, sometimes he opted for veggie option and even preferred a veggie burger so there is hope yet for your husband!😅 Happy New Year!
Kara, it can be done. I have been vegetarian for fifty years (I was about 13) and vegan for about 35. My husband and I have been together 42 years. We've come up with favorite recipes that either have no meat, or he can add meat to his own. His choice. But, spaghetti and a pot chili are his own recipes, and after several years, he stopped adding meat to his own. Soups can be easy, such as potato, which I add vegan milk (soy is my favorite) and vegan butter to thicken, and many hearty bean and lentil soups. Curry with sweet potato and red lentils on rice is another. Good luck experimenting.
I am planting a veg plot for the first time. I’ve ordered plants to be delivered when they are ready to go into the ground. I went for easy growers that don’t need a lot of fussing with some companion flower plants coming to help with pests etc. We keep a small herd of rescue ponies so we have more natural fertiliser then we can use! Hope 2022 brings you lots of fun and joy. Looking forward to your videos x
first of all,dear Terry.....Wish you a very happy new year................good to have plans.........Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel;Germany☘☘☘
Such a nice video with the snowfall, the robin, the chickens and the wood in front of the house. Good that you feel better again and that you had time to make plans for 2022. Thank you for your wishes I wish you all the best as well 💕
Happy 2022 to you and yours. Glad to hear you healed well and are feeling better now. Our holidays were off due to my mom being in the hospitals from before Thanksgiving until she passed on Dec. 5th. She had not been well for several years and had succumb to viral pneumonia. My plans include continuing to add to our herb gardens, culinary as well as medicinal, and t do better with my succession planting of certain vegetables, so we can reap a more bountiful harvest for longer periods of time. I'm also going to work on getting hot beds made in our Autumn so we can harvest greens well into the first part of January. I'm also working on making those hot beds covered with a heavier row cover to keep them going longer when it becomes subzero. We live in Montana, USA and are now into our subzero temps for winter into mid-February. With windchill just days ago it was -38F and now two days later we're in the low 30'sF above, it's crazy weather I know. Looking forward to your vlogs in 2022
Wow - that is crazy weather! Hot beds sound like a brilliant idea - especially for Montana! I also think that is a great idea of successional planting - I mean to do it and then there is so much to harvest I forget! But will be more organised this year😃
Sending you hugs and light for the passing of your mother. Even when we know it's coming, losing our mothers is unlike any other loss. I'm in Michigan and getting your weather a couple days later. Strange weather indeed.
Beautiful video Terri and Happy New Year! I literally couldn’t wait to hear your voice again! My family and I are very poorly this week, not been tested but feeling like the worst bout of flu we’ve ever had and wiped of all energy. Day 8 for me with no sign of improvement. I’m afraid I’ve gone into a little bit of fear so you video was so welcome today. I want to learn all about herbal remedies this coming year. X
Please don't have any fear. WE were all ill to varying degrees - I was worse with about 12 days or more of zero energy and thought there was no end in sight but there was of course. We didn't bother with tests so we don't know what it was other than a winter bug. Knowing its name would not have made any difference. Thankfully I had a lot of herbal medicine on hand and now I will be stronger than ever with a natural immunity. So just be patient with yourself and have lots of rest and lots of garlic, honey, herbal teas!
Thank you Terri. 🙂 One of the things I also enjoy is going through the seeds and making plans for the spring. 🙂 For many years I've kept the seeds in the fridge or out in the garage where it's cold. Even if I've had them a few years, I just plant them closer.☺️ I'm glad you're feeling better. Sometimes I feel like that's the way our bodies say 'time for a break.' Love and blessings! 🤗💜
Happy New Year Trish, sending many blessings to you for 2022. I will be sowing all my dud seeds too, just in case something germinates, on the off chance. Happy sowing and planting!
Happy New Year, I loved hearing about your plans. My plans this year are to grow my design and publication business, to be debt free and have a deposit for our own home with a wild garden, we currently rent and have a small yard which is full of herbs, so I can't wait to create a forever garden.
Happy New year, dear Terry,may you say healthy and happy, i resky love your videos. Here in a small unfriendly villiage from Belgium... Thank you,for your ,culture and irish, medicinal tradition.❤
Happy Sunday to you and Lol and the fur babies , and many blessings for the upcoming year. Seems many of us will share your plans. Thinking about our gardens and misc. repairs ! Glad to hear you're feeling better. And I know we're all looking forward to the Herbal classes ! 💜🌳💜
What are we planning for our 2022 garden? Well, living in Wisconsin, USA, where we aren't totally free of snow until late April and the last frost isn't until mid-May, whatever we plant has a short growing season. A variety of squashes are planned, string beans, carrots, beets, various herbs. We may even try potatoes in bags of dirt.
Imagine!! Snow until April???? It is hard for me to imagine - especially when we are approaching spring and the daffodils are coming up. I find it interesting to here of all the different climates that people are living in. x
Happy New Year, Terri and Lol. Glad it finds you so inspired and restored after your illness. Like you, I feel the pull of new enterprises, hope and excitement.
Hi Teri, so glad you are feeling brighter and lighter. Thank you for all your amazing videos in 2021, truly inspiring. Just like you🙏 wishing you all, the very best for 2022🕯
Happy New Year Terri, so glad you are feeling better and welcoming 2022 with bright hopes and plans for further tending of our dear earth. It is so inspiring watching your videos. I do hope to be planting more in the spring and spending added time outdoors in nature which my husband and I both love .I also love your herb shed . It reminds me of Bilbo Baggins' home. thanks again ,sending you and your family all the blessings for a year filled with joy ,good health and happiness, with much love, Ellen xo
It was lovely to see your smattering of snow, Terri. We're sweltering in the sunshine at the moment and hoping for some much needed rain tomorrow. I'm glad you're up and about again and that you had some time (even if forced!) to contemplate plans for 2022. We're taking it a day at a time and planning to continue working on the garden. Self-sufficiency is such a blessing. Happy New Year and good luck for the course launch.
Such a beautiful place, just 💜your herb Shed, it has a magical character. I plan on ordering seeds,looking forward to be seeing the time to plant. 🙏❣️ USA Virginia
I'm glad you're feeling good, all your plans are exciting to hear about. To see before and after shots will be interesting. Wishing you both a peaceful and prosperous 2022.
I loved this video, Terri. Glad you're feeling better. I have a small space, so I'm planning to do most of my gardening in containers or small beds. My goal for 2022 is to be much more self-sufficient....making as much as possible from scratch. I love Lol's music too. Have subscribed to his channel as well. Season's Blessings from stateside.
May you and Lou have a Healthy, Joyful and Prosperous 2022! I'm looking forward to seeing your before and after video. My plans are to have a second garden at the side of the house where it will get more sun. The one I have now is in the front of the house, small and only gets a few hours of sun. I also have 7 elderberry bare roots to plant in my front yard.
Happy New Year with blessings of peace, health and happiness. I have some Elderberries to take cuttings from - you have just reminded me! Good luck with your new garden!
Wishing you love,peace ,health and happiness in 2022.I'm in the process of converting the veg garden into raised beds ,at my age I find the digging and weeding of a traditional potager too much 🙃I am really looking forward to getting the beds planted up and seeing how successful they will be
Happy New Year, Terri. Glad you are feeling better. I have been doing much the same as you. Planning to be more self-sufficient, that and my faith are the only things that give me a feeling of more security. More herbs, more veggies, and more beauty! Many blessings of peace, love and abundance to you and yours...
Sorry to hear you were unwell and thankfully you are now feeling better . Looking forward to 2022 and watching your plans but for now keep warm and safe Xxxx
Terri, You look absolutely glorious and ready to begin new projects and aspirations with much intention ☺️ All good and beautiful energies sent your way 🦋✨💚 ~ Kasey (Kay) P.s. your dogs are just so adorable and I think it's cute that the little one is the bigger ones shadow 🥰 And cats: I'm obsessed with cats so I'm happy to know you're blessed with their prescence as well ❣️
l have just gone through my seeds too, planning for the months to come. Like you our polytunnel suffered during the storm we had as well as buildings so that is on my 'To Do List' as well as creating shampoo soap bars to add to my range. l am so looking forward to coming up with new scents for them using the herbs and flowers from my garden. Blessings to you and yours and glad you are on the mend x
Happy New Year Terri. I'm looking forward to the course. As for my plans - more raised beds, more soft fruit bushes and more medicinal herbs. I really want to expand my herbal medicines cabinet. I'm also planting more shrubs to make up for all the hedging my farmer neighbour ripped out in the last week. We're talking good 30 metres of them lost in few days. All the poor birds that were sheltering there come to my garden now but that's already full of birdies so I want to do what I can for them. They're getting fed anyway so at least I know they're not starving.
Happy New Year! Oh how distressing to witness that! What an idiot doing it at this time of year and why????? Good for you planting lots of shrubs, I hope they grow abundantly and that all your garden plans come to fruition xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes, I cried when I saw how much he destroyed. He wanted to widen the road to his farm and wants to be able to see his cattle shed and all the pastures from his house so got rid of all the hedges for that!!! Makes my blood boil to be honest.
Happy new year to all ,glad your feeling better Terri and full of creativity ,I love the season of Imbolc , sowing seeds and making plans. Bright blessings x
Happy New Year to you as well!!! Glad you are feeling better! We are snow covered here … as much as I love our snow I sometimes envy those with a much more temperate climates this time of year. Thank you for letting me live vicariously thru you!
Snow is like rain - a little bit is lovely and seasonal and helpful but too much is too much. Hope you have it long enough to enjoy and not too long to be sick of it. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and your family Terri! So sorry to hear you’ve been unwell, not very nice, we had the same nasty experience, but glad to see you back, well, happy and full of energy and excitement which it radiates to us, your viewers. I missed you, your adorable dogs, your beautiful house, garden, your great videos. Look forward to watching your great videos, to hear more about your exciting new projects. Good luck Terri! We, your viewers, fans are here to support you. ❤️
Oana, you make me blush! But it is so lovely to hear your enthusiasm and to know of your support. xx We are all well again and raring to go, the weather is very mild and calm which helps. Happy New Year to you and yours xxx
I'm very excited to learn more about your herb course and have marked it as a red letter day in my diary! Blessings to you, Lol and all your family and animals for the year ahead.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Dindrane, it is such a wonderful feeling to know that people care enough to be so generous with their support. New Year blessings to you and yours. In spite of our challenging times (or is it because of?) Terri and I feel optimistic about the year ahead and so looking forward to sharing our projects with you.
Im so happy the hollidays are over and that you are back 🥰 when i saw your video i had to tell my ” follower friends” Danu’s is back, Danu’s is back 😂😂 this year i will organize my herb garden… plant some trees and learn more about chinese medicine and yes try to grow mushrooms 😊 im looking forward to follow you one more year, it will be an exciting year thank you for all you are sharing 🙏🥰❤️🌸
Glad you are feeling better Terri and Happy New Year! I just discovered your channel over my winter break, and it has been such a pleasure to watch and learn from you. Your garden and the surrounding landscape are beautiful. I live in a big city and don't even have a balcony for growing plants (though we have a lot of potted ones in our windowsills) so your channel is a real gift. Wishing you success with all your plans for the year!
Happy New Year Terri ,glad you are feeling better. We too are taking stock of our seed supply and will decide what needs ordering .It is always so much fun planning the garden ,an activity filled with Hope ,optimism and joy of new beginnings.
Well said - hope, joy and optimism. No wonder I am feeling better and on the mend😃 Happy New Year to you and yours and blessings for a beautiful garden xx
Hi Teri, Lol and doggies. Happy New Year. Glad you are feeling better. My goal for 2022 is to have my book 'Sylvester, Archie and the Angels ' printed in paperback! I've got it on Kindle, but I feel the message in it is more than appropriate than ever this year. Wish me luck. Celestial Blessings and Elemental Embraces. Amanda. Xx
I'm sorry you were feeling ill glad you're OK now. When I have a project to look forward to, it helps me get out of bed in the morning! I look forward to your crafty projects. Do you ever make garden structures from branches? I would like to but find it hard to find branches, lots of conifer forests around but it's not public land. Our trees are mostly very small yet. This summer I'd like to build some arbors from lumber, if anything to show my husband we can make them ourselves. I lost my tiny Wilko green house in storm Arwen, I had it weighted down with huge rocks I could barely move, nope, right over! We really need a proper tunnel or green house! I forgot to say I have wildflower seeds that I'll be sprinkling all around the new fruit trees we just planted, because there's no grass there now. Lots of poppy seeds and foxglove too!
Nasturtiums are great around trees too - they benefit the tree and repel pests. Those pesky winds won't be stopped by rocks will they! I love the idea of natural sculptures but our trees are still too young and do not have enough girth on the branches...but one day! Happy New Year!
Happy new year Terri and Lol and doggies and hens. I am dosed myself and couldn't sleep so it's lovely to come across this new video to keep me company. Lots of love and fun and good wishes to you this year.
Hi Terri i will also wish you a happy new year and all the best for you and your guardian's for the upcoming year. I'm just complete a no dig gardening course from Charles Dowding and geting ready for selvesufficient lifestyle on my area. Wishing you and your's a healthy and great time my dear friend. Love from Norway. Ole.
Terri, nothing like time for 'visioning' I had a spider bite that kept me looking out the window for 2 weeks. Glad to see you are looking healthy and happy again!
Sorry to hear you were ill. Sounds like you are raring to go as far as plans. As for me I do plan on expanding my medicinal herb garden. Then concentrate on just a few of my favorites as far as vegetables. And canning those .
I'm on the mend now thank you. Lovely to plan to expand your medicinal herb garden - me too. I would also like to try canning - it is not something that is done here but makes a lot of sense. Happy New Year!
It probably seems like welcome heat to all the people in North America and Canada who are still under ice and and snow. So interesting to hear of all the climactic differences . Hope you are well Florence. xx
Happy New Year 🥳, missed your videos , I wasn’t notified, I’ve fixed that and look forward to the upcoming videos . I must let you know I’ve made the laundry liquid and the lemon balm tincture- both incredibly easy and THANK YOU for showing and sharing- the tincture is now used daily and I’ve shared the laundry liquid with two ladies i know and they love it too, such a wonderful method and it cleans beautifully
Glad that you are feeling better. Loved to see pictures from around your gardens and out buildings. Looking forward to spring here in Wisconsin USA. Need to go through my seeds as well. ❤
Happy 2022~ I sorted all my seeds yesterday ✅ am ridding the house of clutter ✅ organized the garage ✅ mucked out the barn ✅ and excited to grow a perennial herb garden this year. 😃 All of my vacation days from work this year are going to be spent at home reclaiming now that all my children are over 20/grown adult women. For whatever the world brings to my front door, I will greet it with patience, honesty and a large cup of home grown tea. ☕️
Charlie, they sound like some great plans. Patience and honesty are much needed in this world and a cup of tea never goes wrong😃
Glad you're better! Happy New Year!!
I just ordered a dozen small bare root flowering and berrying trees to start turning my small property into a more natural, inviting place for birds.
Sounds lovely - a great place to start planting! Good luck!
I get so excited when I see you put up a new video. I turn my volume up and make it full screen. Love seeing your puppies and landscape. Enjoy visiting with you. Glad you are feeling better.
Thank you Teresa - so glad to hear you are visiting with us. xx
Happy New Year Terri and family. Im sorry to hear you have been unwell, sending much love and healing to you. I have just taken a leap of faith and handed in my notice! Also ,as a family,we have rented a small field longterm and are in the middle of putting up a polytunnel,shed and childrens learning area,busy productive year ahead. Thankyou for your continued inspiration via your videos. Best wishes xxxx
WOW!! Well done! Your coming year sounds so exciting. Wishing you all the best with all your endeavours xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thankyou, its very exciting!xx
Fantastic! May you be blessed with lots of fulfilling work and an abundance of produce!
Hello Terry and Lol. Happiest of New Year to you both. So sorry you have been ill Terry it sounded like your throat might be still sore. Lovely to hear of your creative plans, Lol make sure we get to see what you do with & around the herb house, I’m in love with it. Terry soap making, basket weaving on top of your other things will keep you busy. Here it’s summer but a very mixed bag, hence vegetable seedlings struggling, but some great potatoes harvested for and after Christmas and more to come plus blueberries first harvest off two year old bushes and loads. It’s summers like this I wish I had room for a greenhouse even a small one, my cheap little poly house was shredded the first year and haven’t bothered as two covers in one season looked like yours. I think our gale winds love our garden. Covid has finally arrived in Tasmania a week after opening our border, so going from zero in over a year to cases rising rapidly now over 3000 supposedly new strain O, so pretty scary at the moment and plans to visit UK in May once again causing concern. We were so lucky for so long. Luckily our population here in Tas has very high vaccination rates but people still coming down with it. We’ve enjoyed having our youngest son and partner and our new two month old granddaughter visit over Christmas from Melbourne and middle son still here from Queensland, making for a wonderful Christmas time.
So my plans for 2022 unlike you are on hold…..I will re commence making soap and start trying out other body products in Feb having stocked up with requisites. Try and Get back on line to undertake a garden course Charles Dowding I signed up for late last year. And try to dodge covid if possible.
Stay safe over there in Ireland. Love from Tasmania
Love to you too Tassie Girl and a very happy New Year. Yes, we are planning to be busy, I am full of enthusiasm and can't wait to get started. Don't be worried about the germs - over 99% of people survive, I think that is what I had over Christmas. Glad to hear your Christmas celebrations were lovely with your family. xxx
For me, there is nothing better on a cold winters day, than a hot cup of coffee and my seed stash and my seed catalogs. I could curl up under a blanket all day and happily dream a new garden into being.🐝❤️🤗
Sounds lovely!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ❤️
Please do not throw seeds out. Sow them to see what comes up. Seeds are hard to come by right now. I think some of them will still germinate 🎉🎉🎉
That's exactly what I do! I would never through them into the bin. I give them the chance and I have no doubt some will germinate even though they are 6,7,8 years or more old.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes! Seeds want to grow! If even one will grow, let it go to seed and give back ten fold!
Thanks for your video. I hope you are mending well after your recent bought of not feeling well. Winter is always a tough time of year and it isn't surprising, with less daylight and cold dreary weather, that folk wain a bit. I've been feeling it too and I'm always intuitively working on that herbal medicine level so I can try to help myself. Back in the late fall I fortunately found an excellent birch polypore growing on a large birch tree not far from my cabin door. I harvested that polypore (a bracket fungi), slivered it up, dried all of that and I'm using that medicine, combined with dandelion and burdock root, on a daily basis (3 cups per day) for a week at a time. Each week I switch up my herb tea. After drinking the polypore/root decoction for a week I infuse nettles, mullein, horehound, various mints, calendula blossom, chinese green tea, marjoram, lemon balm, ground ivy, roiboos and raspberry leaf (at times discluding several of those herbs with each infusion and sometimes including other herbs such as plantain, golden rod, cleavers, St. Johns Wort and Equisetum arvense, depending on what I am feeling that I need at the time). Here winter has been a pretty tough go so far. We have a mountain of snow on the ground and it has been cold, down to -16 Celcius (which is on the cold side for this mountain valley). Over the mountains (east) and up north, those folk have been experiencing real cold, down to -40 C. (and colder) for weeks on end now. With all the snow we have now, since mid-December, I worry about my wild deer friends as those poor creatures have a very hard time in this deep snow. Snow is waist deep now in most places in this valley at this lower elevation, deeper still as one goes up the mountain to the ten thousand foot level. There is a high avalanche risk now and people are being warned not to travel into the back country as the danger is extreme. Here in the Kootenays, I don't begin to plant my garden until April 1st in general. With this much snow (and more is forecast over the next two weeks) I am sure there will be snow until at least the beginning of April this year unless there is a real shift and things warm up a lot before then, but that is not too likely. Out on the west coast, 500 miles by road from here, they are having an unusually cold and brutal winter so far as well. It seems the weather is so unpredictable now with climate changing everywhere. Once March arrives I'll begin pruning the fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, cherries) that grow in my garden and around the yard. Once the snow is gone I'll be busy doing garden clean-up and cultivating for this years crop. I'm certainly glad, and fortunate, that my garden produces so much food for myself and others. I'm hearing that food prices in grocery stores have risen dramatically due to covid, shipping problems and crop failures (due to extreme weather events). I'm glad, and fortunate too, to have all these herbs that I cultivate and collect from nature during late spring and early summer for my own medicine. I've been moving so much snow in recent weeks that my old back is aching a bit and I miss the hot springs (covid has closed them down) that I used to visit weekly over the past forty years. The other day, after pushing mounds of snow to clear my usual paths, I put on my snowshoes and packed a trail around the cabin just to give myself a bit more area in the yard to walk on and to get to my satellite dish so I could brush the snow build-up away without wading through waist deep snow. I can't say I have a lot of fun anymore during winter (I used to ski a lot) as living alone keeps me indoors a lot more than in the old days. At this point I pretty much chop wood to keep the stove going, keep myself hydrated with water and herb teas, watch things on television and the internet, sleep more than normal, play music on my keyboard and accordion, cook myself some nourishing food once a day or so, and try to keep myself out of the doldrums. Being isolated and hardly seeing another person (for the past two years with covid restrictions) has taken its toll and I am feeling my age now more than ever. By St. Patrick's day I am feeling more hopeful as by then spring is never far off. Hopefully the remainder of this winter won't be too bad for everyone. Take care yourself, be well and best wishes with all your endeavours. Cheers!
Wow - your weather is extreme compared to ours. We are as wet and green as ever here apart from a smattering of snow on the mountain tops. What a lot of work you have to do just to be able to get in and out and I can imagine how difficult it must be for deer. The weather is definitely changing but I don't think it is necessarily warming, getting hotter in some places and colder in others and I think it is due to land exploitation and mismanagement. I wish I could think of some way to relieve your isolation. Is there any way you could make music with people on line?? Is there a local community radio or something that could put people in touch with each other? I am not surprised that you feel isolated and that the isolation has taken its toll. Would you consider taking in a Wooffer or someone doing Work Away? I hope you have enough food to keep you going and hope your winter ends sooner rather than later. Sending you very best wishes for 2022 - good health and happiness!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks for your kind reply. Back in the years when I was a shepherd, with my goats, horses and dogs, I never felt alone. When I was divorced in 2008 everything changed. I sold my animals and went off to Australia for a while before returning here to this cabin. Prior to covid I got myself involved (for five years) in a monthly poetry slam event in the small city of Nelson which is a two hour drive from my small village. That monthly event connected me with a lot of other poets, writers and performers, which was a real blessing for me. Here in Argenta our community would have regular events that took place at the community hall but with covid that has all disappeared and people are pretty much keeping to themselves, although some have close friends and family that they still see regularly. I'm one of the old folk now and because of my shepherding I really had a very small friends list. Those people, mostly other men that I played music with on a weekly basis, are either dead now or have moved away. Such is life. Once spring arrives and I can get out to work in my yard and garden things lighten up a lot for me. My last dog died back in April 2014 so since then I've been completely alone, but I'm pretty used to being alone so I cope fairly well. I do miss that connection with those other poets and writers which I would see in Nelson once a month and I certainly miss that weekly visit to the local hot springs. Once I have my booster shot, in about 2 1/2 weeks from now, I am hoping I can get back to soaking in the hot springs as they are now allowing vaccinated people to reserve a visit, but I remain unsure of being close to people even if they are vaccinated. I guess covid has changed the world forever. Hopefully we'll all see some recovery in the next year or so. With the weather it seems to me the real problem is the warming oceans, which in turn create these significant and disastrous weather events we are seeing all around the planet. With so many glaciers quickly melting, as well as the Greenland icefields and the Antarctic icecap, all that fresh water spilling into the oceans is a huge problem. I think our planet is in great peril at this point in time and all we can do is try to live our lives in a healthy, respectful and caring way. Let's hope things will turn around and our world will recover from all these ailments. I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I have chosen this life style. Take care yourself and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your winter. Cheers!
So glad that to see that you are feeling better. Can't wait for Feb to come to take your course. I just made some cough drops out of the honey I infused with thyme, basil and rosemary, and lemon. I got some bee pollen from a friend of mine so I can put them in gelatin capsules for our vitamins. I just got some fresh peppermint from my local grocery store to infuse more honey with it.
They all sound lovely - tasty and medicinal, the best medicine. xx
Just a lovely video…I too am looking through my seeds and planning some indoor seeding next month! Such a great feeling of anticipation at this time of year, with spring on the way🌷
Yes that sense of anticipation is quite thrilling and especially here when we can see the days getting longer again.
So sorry you were feeling ill...lots of healing thoughts coming your way💝
I would like to see weaving baskets- videos plz🧺🌱🌾
As I have chronic fatigue, hard work in the garden is a challenge...but little by little I make progress. I made raised beds to make it easier. The herbal garden I will try to manage this year. Blessings to all for this year 💖💖💖 Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪
Blessings for health and happiness to you Gina and I admire you for persevering despite the chronic fatigue. Best of luck with your garden xxx
That Herb 'Shed' is Divine🥳! Hoping your seeds bring much joy and sustenance Terry. 🍀🎻☘
Thank you Moira, they will in multiple ways. Happy New Year!
Yes, it looks like a Hobbit house!
Can’t wait for the herbal class! We too are planning the garden. It looks like you save your own seeds how wonderful. Last year I was able to raise Hopi Pale Grey Squash and save the seed it was almost extinct a few years back. It’s has a lovely orange flesh. We make pie with it that is better than pumpkin. Do you check your pantry to determine what will need replenished for the year that’s our big drive here for choosing what to plant. Happy Planning!
That is great - that you have saved seeds from something becoming extinct. I remember seeing an old American man on a documentary who was saving heirloom seeds. He was concerned that when he died God would say, what happened to the 54 varieties of beets I gave you, and the hundreds of varieties of peas and the 97 varieties of beans (just making up those figures cos I can't remember now ) and he said he wanted to show gratitude. That has always inspired me to use heirloom seeds. I am going to try and find ways of preserving food beyond freezing.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden we dry many things but I learned to can from my mom so we put up so much that way. We’re vegan now but we even can meat, butter, milk. Good luck with your journey.
I'm so pleased that more and more people are taking the saving of heirlooms seriously. Years ago a local organic farmer introduced us to heirloom varieties of potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and greens. Our favorite collards he called Greasy Greens. But, were could but find a source for seeds. This Christmas my daughter gave me a packet of seeds that she found from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. They are called Green Glaze organic collards. It's one of my favorite gifts this year. We can hardly wait to show these seeds.
I was hoping you would do more with herbs I live love herbs creating healing jars, etc also teas and some minor medicine would love to learn more thank you so much
The herb course will be available from 1st February and will cover all of this
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Wonderful, is there funds involved
😃 I am one that never throw out my garden stuff..i take old seeds put them in water n see if they float. Sometimes getting just the packet damp will bring on sprouts and I have a patch of dirt that I throw random seeds in some sprout n I end up with turnips carrots radishes n calendula n peas all nestled together 😁
How beautiful! That's what I mean re old seeds. Sometimes I test viability by seeing if they will sprout but most of the time I just do what you did although I never had such a good display as you!
Thank you for your enthusiasm as the last few weeks have been low with a family member being very ill. She's back on the mend but we haven't had our family get together for Christmas yet and things are a bit chaotic and plans went totally out the window. But you have just snapped me out of the doldrums and I've set myself back on the path. I hope 2022 is a great one for you, take care =-)
I hope she continues to get better and that you all get chance to be together as a family. All of ye here got me out of the doldrums and it has been a knock on effect for people. Wishing you the brightest and best year with good health and happiness for all. xx
Happy New Year Terri, Lol, Jazz & Broc...Always excited to see new upload...It is Truly Beautiful where you Live, & Your home is So cosy looking...I Love looking through Seed packets, & Think of the warmer times to come...
Thank You ☘💚
Happy New Year Sally - looking through the seed packets and imagining all the colour returning ..
Hello Terri, so glad you are well again. I really missed you around the christmas days, every video gives me great joy and inspiration. I will be planning for my cutting garden: lots of dahlias (also with open centers for the pollinators), sowing cosmos, zinnia, larkspur, snapdragon, ammi majus etc., many of these are ecellent for pollinators which is very important. I also ordered some californian poppy seeds to sow (the orange single ones like those in your polytunnel), I will try to make my very first tincture with them. Thank you for all your love and care and inspiration and see you soon!
Happy New Year! Your garden sounds like it will be full of beautiful colour and some amazing plants. I have been very fortunate to receive some California Poppy from a lady in California that are also yellow and red so I am looking forward to sowing those seeds - (thanks Eileen). Enjoy your tincture making!
Blessings to you my dear 💞💞
Very happy for your new projects, you're a great inspiration for your followers!
Yes, it's a must to become more and more self sufficiency in these times...you know...
Big hugs !!
Big Hugs and Blessings to you Olga. Have a very happy 2022!
Hi, I am so happy you and your husband were able to have a little down time together for planning. I am also happy you are feeling better and so sorry to hear that you were not feeling well. I love how you are so self sufficient and working on being that way (more) in your near future. I really does look cold, wet and windy there. I love your seed box, that is such a great idea to keep up with them. Thanks so much for sharing and can not wait to see your amazing Transition you have come through with all your hard work. Take care till next time.
Happy New Year Lou Lou! Blessings of health and happiness!
Good luck with your gardens and all your plans for 2022. I as well was sick and the fatigue was awful. Nice to come out on the other side of it when you are in your 70s like me.Lowell must be part Hobbitt. Love his shed creation. I would love to garden more but the frost is not out of our ground till maybe the end of May. I have raised beds for veggies and buckets for flowers as our soil no matter how you enhance it is rock solid by fall. The prairies are not an easy place to garden. I will garden vicariously through you. Hugs
Good for you Annie, for getting through it! Your land certainly is a challenge - you don't have much time to get things in and out. Happy New Year!
I'm sorry you've been under the weather. May 2022 bring success to all of your projects. Thanks for doing these wonderful videos. I always look forward to watching them.
Lovely to hear that Carol, thanks. Blessings to you too for 2022!
Good to have you back
Thanks so much Zoe! Good to be back😃
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden exciting news about the herbalist course
Hi Terri..glad you are feeling better. I have been sick as well! Planning a lot out side of my home. I've been working on the inside all winter. Can't wait to get out there🌹
Hope you are feeling better now. The weather here is great for tidying up - I'm looking forward to getting outside too. x
So happy that you are feeling a lot better and are full of vim and vigour to get the garden happening - can't wait to see what you do!! We are going to be getting our house painted and polished, and the gardens sorted ready to sell this year - we are hoping to move to a quieter rural area hopefully with a little bit more land so we can be a bit more self sufficient... New Year blessings to you, Lol and the doggies xxx
Best of luck Annette with your house sale and blessings for your self sufficiency! Happy New Year!
So sorry you was not do well, so glad your feeling better, I love this time of year for new plans sometimes you have to stop to connect with that space, As you know at Woo in the Willows with renovations of land and house, some of our plans run into year after and so on! The sustainable living side with the body products also.
Happy New Year to you, good luck with your new plans and adventures 💚🌿xx
Wendy - I never made the connection that you are Woo!!!! Great to meet you. We should organise a visit someday as we are so close. Our plans are the same - running into years😅 Hope your home renovations are going well and blessings and good wishes to you too. xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden that would be so lovely to meet x

Great to see you again , Terri... always love to see the bell for your latest video popping up on my screen! I have started saving the seed from some lovely organic squash I got in my local SuperValu over Christmas. Thankfully you are feeling better and getting your energy back, Terri. Beautiful music, Lol!
Happy New Year Fiona. I hope all is well with you and yours. Good luck with your squash seeds. xxxx
Thank you so much Fiona!
So sorry to hear that you were ill over the festive period but very glad to hear that you have recovered. I think that sometimes the body just knows we need a rest and a chance to slow down with our own thoughts and all your plans sound great. My current plan for the New Year is to fully embrace a vegan lifestyle - not just for January! I have dabbled with it before but it is difficult ad my husband has no intention of giving up meat. My plan is to create a lot of plant-based recipes that are so delicious that he will be tempted to join me on many occasions! Love to you, Lol and your furry family xxx ❤
It is difficult but good luck with it. My daughters are strict vegetarians. My son in law loves food and enjoys his meat too - or he did! Since the last year he has restricted himself to meat only when they eat out and even then, sometimes he opted for veggie option and even preferred a veggie burger so there is hope yet for your husband!😅 Happy New Year!
Kara, it can be done. I have been vegetarian for fifty years (I was about 13) and vegan for about 35. My husband and I have been together 42 years. We've come up with favorite recipes that either have no meat, or he can add meat to his own. His choice. But, spaghetti and a pot chili are his own recipes, and after several years, he stopped adding meat to his own. Soups can be easy, such as potato, which I add vegan milk (soy is my favorite) and vegan butter to thicken, and many hearty bean and lentil soups. Curry with sweet potato and red lentils on rice is another. Good luck experimenting.
I am planting a veg plot for the first time. I’ve ordered plants to be delivered when they are ready to go into the ground. I went for easy growers that don’t need a lot of fussing with some companion flower plants coming to help with pests etc. We keep a small herd of rescue ponies so we have more natural fertiliser then we can use! Hope 2022 brings you lots of fun and joy. Looking forward to your videos x
The benefits of rescue ponies!😃 Best of luck with your planting plans xx
first of all,dear Terry.....Wish you a very happy new year................good to have plans.........Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel;Germany☘☘☘
New Year Blessings to you too Daggy - good health and happiness xx
Such a nice video with the snowfall, the robin, the chickens and the wood in front of the house. Good that you feel better again and that you had time to make plans for 2022. Thank you for your wishes I wish you all the best as well 💕
Thank you - have a healthy and happy 2022 xx
Happy 2022 to you and yours. Glad to hear you healed well and are feeling better now. Our holidays were off due to my mom being in the hospitals from before Thanksgiving until she passed on Dec. 5th. She had not been well for several years and had succumb to viral pneumonia. My plans include continuing to add to our herb gardens, culinary as well as medicinal, and t do better with my succession planting of certain vegetables, so we can reap a more bountiful harvest for longer periods of time. I'm also going to work on getting hot beds made in our Autumn so we can harvest greens well into the first part of January. I'm also working on making those hot beds covered with a heavier row cover to keep them going longer when it becomes subzero. We live in Montana, USA and are now into our subzero temps for winter into mid-February. With windchill just days ago it was -38F and now two days later we're in the low 30'sF above, it's crazy weather I know. Looking forward to your vlogs in 2022
Wow - that is crazy weather! Hot beds sound like a brilliant idea - especially for Montana! I also think that is a great idea of successional planting - I mean to do it and then there is so much to harvest I forget! But will be more organised this year😃
Condolences on the loss of your mother - not an easy experience at this time of year, Hope you are feeling ok xxx
Sending you hugs and light for the passing of your mother. Even when we know it's coming, losing our mothers is unlike any other loss.
I'm in Michigan and getting your weather a couple days later. Strange weather indeed.
Beautiful video Terri and Happy New Year! I literally couldn’t wait to hear your voice again! My family and I are very poorly this week, not been tested but feeling like the worst bout of flu we’ve ever had and wiped of all energy. Day 8 for me with no sign of improvement. I’m afraid I’ve gone into a little bit of fear so you video was so welcome today. I want to learn all about herbal remedies this coming year. X
Please don't have any fear. WE were all ill to varying degrees - I was worse with about 12 days or more of zero energy and thought there was no end in sight but there was of course. We didn't bother with tests so we don't know what it was other than a winter bug. Knowing its name would not have made any difference. Thankfully I had a lot of herbal medicine on hand and now I will be stronger than ever with a natural immunity. So just be patient with yourself and have lots of rest and lots of garlic, honey, herbal teas!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you Terri. I definitely want to do your herbal course. Can’t wait for the details!
Thank you Terri. 🙂
One of the things I also enjoy is going through the seeds and making plans for the spring. 🙂 For many years I've kept the seeds in the fridge or out in the garage where it's cold. Even if I've had them a few years, I just plant them closer.☺️
I'm glad you're feeling better. Sometimes I feel like that's the way our bodies say 'time for a break.'
Love and blessings! 🤗💜
Happy New Year Trish, sending many blessings to you for 2022. I will be sowing all my dud seeds too, just in case something germinates, on the off chance. Happy sowing and planting!
Happy New Year, I loved hearing about your plans. My plans this year are to grow my design and publication business, to be debt free and have a deposit for our own home with a wild garden, we currently rent and have a small yard which is full of herbs, so I can't wait to create a forever garden.
Sending you many blessings for achieving your goals and I wish you all the best with your plans - they sound wonderful xx
Happy New year, dear Terry,may you say healthy and happy, i resky love your videos.

This music is perfect for you and your videos..lovely video as always..Happy New Year!❄
Happy New Year Michelle - so glad you enjoyed the music🌟
What are we planning for our 2022 garden? Well, living in Wisconsin, USA, where we aren't totally free of snow until late April and the last frost isn't until mid-May, whatever we plant has a short growing season. A variety of squashes are planned, string beans, carrots, beets, various herbs. We may even try potatoes in bags of dirt.
Imagine!! Snow until April???? It is hard for me to imagine - especially when we are approaching spring and the daffodils are coming up. I find it interesting to here of all the different climates that people are living in. x
Happy New Year, Terri and Lol. Glad it finds you so inspired and restored after your illness. Like you, I feel the pull of new enterprises, hope and excitement.
Thank you Lyn and very best wishes with your new enterprises. xx

It was lovely to see your smattering of snow, Terri. We're sweltering in the sunshine at the moment and hoping for some much needed rain tomorrow. I'm glad you're up and about again and that you had some time (even if forced!) to contemplate plans for 2022. We're taking it a day at a time and planning to continue working on the garden. Self-sufficiency is such a blessing. Happy New Year and good luck for the course launch.
Happy New Year and many thanks. Enjoy the vitamin D from the sunshine. Self sufficiency is a great blessings - hard work but so beneficial. xx
Such a beautiful place, just 💜your herb Shed, it has a magical character. I plan on ordering seeds,looking forward to be seeing the time to plant. 🙏❣️ USA Virginia
I'm glad you're feeling good, all your plans are exciting to hear about. To see before and after shots will be interesting. Wishing you both a peaceful and prosperous 2022.
Thank you JB for your good wishes and sending you many happy returns! xx
Thank you for your video, Terri! ☀️🕯 Peace and happiness to you and your loved ones for 2022. 🥳
Many Happy Returns to you and yours Ellemski! xx
I loved this video, Terri. Glad you're feeling better. I have a small space, so I'm planning to do most of my gardening in containers or small beds. My goal for 2022 is to be much more self-sufficient....making as much as possible from scratch. I love Lol's music too. Have subscribed to his channel as well. Season's Blessings from stateside.
Season's blessing to you too and thanks for subscribing to Lol. Lots of excitement for us too, making things from scratch. Happy New Year!
Thanks Emjay! I'm overdue posting up new songs but will do very soon.
Had a packet of sweet willian from 2002....threw then on the bank.....so happy that they grew
Wonderful!
May you and Lou have a Healthy, Joyful and Prosperous 2022! I'm looking forward to seeing your before and after video. My plans are to have a second garden at the side of the house where it will get more sun. The one I have now is in the front of the house, small and only gets a few hours of sun. I also have 7 elderberry bare roots to plant in my front yard.
Happy New Year with blessings of peace, health and happiness. I have some Elderberries to take cuttings from - you have just reminded me! Good luck with your new garden!
Wishing you love,peace ,health and happiness in 2022.I'm in the process of converting the veg garden into raised beds ,at my age I find the digging and weeding of a traditional potager too much 🙃I am really looking forward to getting the beds planted up and seeing how successful they will be
I never do any digging - you will enjoy your gardening much more😃 Happy New Year and I am sure the beds will be more successful. x
What a wonderful video. So great to see you May the next 24 months be the best for you. 💠💠
Thank you Kelley - and many happy returns!
Happy New Year, Terri. Glad you are feeling better. I have been doing much the same as you. Planning to be more self-sufficient, that and my faith are the only things that give me a feeling of more security. More herbs, more veggies, and more beauty! Many blessings of peace, love and abundance to you and yours...
You are so right - more herbs, more veggies and more beauty! Yay! Blessings to you too for a wonderful peaceful and happy new year.x
Glad you are better. Big big changes here. My freedom is #1. Lots to do. Much love, Terri.💚
Freedom has to be No 1. Much love to you too xx
Sorry to hear you were not well but so glad you are feeling better. Looking forward to the new year.
Thank you so much Wanda. New Year blessings to you x
Happy new year! You are giving off such a happy, positive vibe in this video, it’s making me feel happy and positive 😊
So glad to hear that - now I feel even more like myself, thank you! Happy New Year! xx
Sorry to hear you were unwell and thankfully you are now feeling better . Looking forward to 2022 and watching your plans but for now keep warm and safe Xxxx
Thank you Rosa - you too!
Terri,
You look absolutely glorious and ready to begin new projects and aspirations with much intention ☺️
All good and beautiful energies sent your way 🦋✨💚
~ Kasey (Kay)
P.s. your dogs are just so adorable and I think it's cute that the little one is the bigger ones shadow 🥰 And cats: I'm obsessed with cats so I'm happy to know you're blessed with their prescence as well ❣️
WE have three cats....none of them are good at catching things!! Dogs are great companions, very adorable!
l have just gone through my seeds too, planning for the months to come. Like you our polytunnel suffered during the storm we had as well as buildings so that is on my 'To Do List' as well as creating shampoo soap bars to add to my range. l am so looking forward to coming up with new scents for them using the herbs and flowers from my garden. Blessings to you and yours and glad you are on the mend x
Thank you Victoria and best of luck with your new range of soap. Blessings for 2022
Happy New Year Terri.
I'm looking forward to the course.
As for my plans - more raised beds, more soft fruit bushes and more medicinal herbs. I really want to expand my herbal medicines cabinet.
I'm also planting more shrubs to make up for all the hedging my farmer neighbour ripped out in the last week. We're talking good 30 metres of them lost in few days. All the poor birds that were sheltering there come to my garden now but that's already full of birdies so I want to do what I can for them. They're getting fed anyway so at least I know they're not starving.
Happy New Year! Oh how distressing to witness that! What an idiot doing it at this time of year and why????? Good for you planting lots of shrubs, I hope they grow abundantly and that all your garden plans come to fruition xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Yes, I cried when I saw how much he destroyed. He wanted to widen the road to his farm and wants to be able to see his cattle shed and all the pastures from his house so got rid of all the hedges for that!!! Makes my blood boil to be honest.
Happy new year to all ,glad your feeling better Terri and full of creativity ,I love the season of Imbolc , sowing seeds and making plans. Bright blessings x
Thank you Elaine - it is indeed a lovely season xx
I'm glad you're feeling better. Happy New Year to you Terri. Looking forward to the 2022 gardening season.
Happy New Year Debbie and thank you so much. Another gardening season to look forward to. xx
Many blessings Terri and here's to a fruitful and abundant year ahead :) xx
Hey Karan - many blessings to you and blessings on all your plans. Hope the move going well. xx
Happy New Year to you as well!!! Glad you are feeling better! We are snow covered here … as much as I love our snow I sometimes envy those with a much more temperate climates this time of year. Thank you for letting me live vicariously thru you!
Snow is like rain - a little bit is lovely and seasonal and helpful but too much is too much. Hope you have it long enough to enjoy and not too long to be sick of it. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you both and the animals and the Earth! My birthday is Feb 2, so I'm an Imbolc baby. I'm glad you are feeling better Terri!
Thank you Dwayne - I am so much better now. Sending you blessings for a happy year and success with your studies! x
Happy New Year. I’m so looking forward to spring . I have the feeling that there a positive energy shift 🌞
Lets make it so! I have the same feeling and looking forward to spring. All is well!
Exciting times to look forward to in 2022! Every good wish for your plans and projects. Look forward to hearing about them.
I think you are right. Things feel better and good luck to you too for 2022, enjoy!
Happy New Year to you and your family Terri!

I missed you, your adorable dogs, your beautiful house, garden, your great videos. Look forward to watching your great videos, to hear more about your exciting new projects. Good luck Terri!

Oana, you make me blush! But it is so lovely to hear your enthusiasm and to know of your support. xx We are all well again and raring to go, the weather is very mild and calm which helps. Happy New Year to you and yours xxx
I'm very excited to learn more about your herb course and have marked it as a red letter day in my diary! Blessings to you, Lol and all your family and animals for the year ahead.
Many blessings to you too Rozanna! So glad to hear you are interested in the course. Wishing you health and happiness! xx
Happy new year! Cheers from Canada. Inspired to review my seeds and start planning now!
Happy New Year! Enjoy your plans!
You are such a treasure! Thank you for the huge amounts of time it takes for you to produce and edit these videos! (Proud Patreon supporter!)
Hello Dindrane! What an honour and a lovely surprise, thank you so much. We'll be in touch soon xxx
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, Dindrane, it is such a wonderful feeling to know that people care enough to be so generous with their support. New Year blessings to you and yours. In spite of our challenging times (or is it because of?) Terri and I feel optimistic about the year ahead and so looking forward to sharing our projects with you.

It’s good to see you so enthusiastic Terry! I will look into your course-it sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing ♥️
Please do. Wishing you the best for 2022 xx
Glad you are feeling better Terri and Happy New Year! I just discovered your channel over my winter break, and it has been such a pleasure to watch and learn from you. Your garden and the surrounding landscape are beautiful. I live in a big city and don't even have a balcony for growing plants (though we have a lot of potted ones in our windowsills) so your channel is a real gift. Wishing you success with all your plans for the year!
Hello and welcome Cameron. thank you for your good wishes and many happy returns.
Happy New Year Terri ,glad you are feeling better.
We too are taking stock of our seed supply and will decide what needs ordering .It is always so much fun planning the garden ,an activity filled with Hope ,optimism and joy of new beginnings.
Well said - hope, joy and optimism. No wonder I am feeling better and on the mend😃 Happy New Year to you and yours and blessings for a beautiful garden xx
Hi Teri, Lol and doggies. Happy New Year. Glad you are feeling better. My goal for 2022 is to have my book 'Sylvester, Archie and the Angels ' printed in paperback! I've got it on Kindle, but I feel the message in it is more than appropriate than ever this year. Wish me luck. Celestial Blessings and Elemental Embraces. Amanda. Xx
Wishing you good luck!
I'm sorry you were feeling ill glad you're OK now. When I have a project to look forward to, it helps me get out of bed in the morning! I look forward to your crafty projects. Do you ever make garden structures from branches? I would like to but find it hard to find branches, lots of conifer forests around but it's not public land. Our trees are mostly very small yet. This summer I'd like to build some arbors from lumber, if anything to show my husband we can make them ourselves. I lost my tiny Wilko green house in storm Arwen, I had it weighted down with huge rocks I could barely move, nope, right over! We really need a proper tunnel or green house!
I forgot to say I have wildflower seeds that I'll be sprinkling all around the new fruit trees we just planted, because there's no grass there now. Lots of poppy seeds and foxglove too!
Nasturtiums are great around trees too - they benefit the tree and repel pests. Those pesky winds won't be stopped by rocks will they! I love the idea of natural sculptures but our trees are still too young and do not have enough girth on the branches...but one day! Happy New Year!
Thank you for another beautiful video, Terri! Glad you’re well again and full of enthusiasm ♥️
You are welcome! I am feeling enthusiastic again xxx
Glad you are feeling better. Just about everyone I know was sick over Christmas time. 🙏❤️. Excluding myself. Take care.
Hope you are feeling better Bonnie as I am. Best wishes for a healthy and happy new year!
Just shared this in my Freedom movement Food Project Group! 🌀🙏
I like the sound of that group!!
Have a wonderful year ahead Terri glad your all regenerated Love to you xxx
Thanks Sue. Love and blessings to you and yours for a happy and healthy new year. x
Happy new year Terri and Lol and doggies and hens. I am dosed myself and couldn't sleep so it's lovely to come across this new video to keep me company. Lots of love and fun and good wishes to you this year.
Hope you get well soon Avril, rest is the thing. Convalescence!!!! Fun would be nice, love, health and happiness!! Many Happy Returns!
Hi Terri i will also wish you a happy new year and all the best for you and your guardian's for the upcoming year.
I'm just complete a no dig gardening course from Charles Dowding and geting ready for selvesufficient lifestyle on my area.
Wishing you and your's a healthy and great time my dear friend.
Love from Norway. Ole.
No-dig is the way to go, it's what we do - less effort and better soil. Sending you best wishes for a beautiful abundant garden, Happy New Year!
Terri, nothing like time for 'visioning' I had a spider bite that kept me looking out the window for 2 weeks. Glad to see you are looking healthy and happy again!
OOOooo! I hope that wasn't too painful! I think I am good now thanks. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Terri! This was such a lovely, cosy video. And that shawl is gorgeous!
Happy New Year and Welcome Southern Rose! Thank you - it was a Christmas present.

Sorry to hear you were ill. Sounds like you are raring to go as far as plans. As for me I do plan on expanding my medicinal herb garden. Then concentrate on just a few of my favorites as far as vegetables. And canning those .
I'm on the mend now thank you. Lovely to plan to expand your medicinal herb garden - me too. I would also like to try canning - it is not something that is done here but makes a lot of sense. Happy New Year!
Could ve listened to you a bit longer but will have wait till your on again good your feeling better
Happy New Year - I'll be back tomorrow x😃
That cold looks SO wonderful Terri after the heat in Australia...
It probably seems like welcome heat to all the people in North America and Canada who are still under ice and and snow. So interesting to hear of all the climactic differences . Hope you are well Florence. xx
Happy New Year 🥳, missed your videos , I wasn’t notified, I’ve fixed that and look forward to the upcoming videos . I must let you know I’ve made the laundry liquid and the lemon balm tincture- both incredibly easy and THANK YOU for showing and sharing- the tincture is now used daily and I’ve shared the laundry liquid with two ladies i know and they love it too, such a wonderful method and it cleans beautifully
Happy New Year Leebay! Delighted to hear about how productive you have been and so glad to hear that the laundry liquid is working well for you.
I'm glad you are feeling well again, Terri, and had a good rest. Nice to see you and hear of your excitement and plans :) Dave
Thanks Dave. I hope all is well with you and yours. x
Wonderful vlog; thank you! Many blessings for continued strength & good health!
