I enjoy the “raw, unedited” videos the most. It’s like being there in person! Lots of beautiful progress and growth! Thank you for sharing!
Same sentiments, here!
Agreed it’s totally like being at Bealtaine Cottage ❤️
Have been watching you for a while now.so amazing that there are actually people who feel that same way
I love the comforting simple homeliness
The gratitude for everything the birdsong the gatden the beauty of .nature you have embraced. Such a corrective for a world weary heart
When I read your book ‘ A Cottage and Three Acres” your basic tenet of “plant first for the bees and birds, then for yourself “ really resonated with me and in planting in my very small, urban garden that is what I have pursued. I have been rewarded with many bees and birds and am keeping fingers crossed for modest gains in the tiny cottage garden. Thanks for continued inspiration and all good wishes for the forthcoming Midsummer.
Growing up in the Bluegrass (Kentucky), many of the older folks grew all sorts of things in old tractor tires. My grandfather would take a few of we grandchildren along to help some elderly people get their tires ready. For the decorative tractors tires, he and the grandsons cut in a special way do the edges looked like petals. In those there were begonias, petunias and all sorts of pretty flowers. In others, potatoes, Irish and Russet and Yukon Golds, French radishes, carrots, oh, all sorts of vegetables. His father, my great grandfather told me old tires were used since the 1930s. And it is so restful and peaceful to listen to you talk. Such a beautiful work you are doing here.
Your "raw" videos are a blessing in them selves and they are so lovely to watch. There is too much editing in this world, too much insecurities and perhaps other things as well that lies behind the urge to edit and even remodel reality. All the best to you from a small cottage in the forest on an island in the Baltic
You have a truly peaceful and beautiful place to live and work for beloved nature. I too love the bees and the birds, they make me so joyful in my heart 🧚♂️
Veg plot looks beautiful Colette.The bird song creates a beautiful soundtrack too .Thank you for sharing your corner of paradise with us xx
Cannot tell you how much you, Jack and the content of your videos help me. Thank you so much. Blessings.
When my granny was teaching me to garden she would show me to put down 3 seeds for each plant i wanted to grow. 1 for the birds 1 for the bees and 1 for me 😎 That memory came to me just as you were giving the same tip . I just Love you!
Texas USA here🇺🇸, so happy to hear from you,😊 beautiful scenery. Enjoy your meal and have a wonderful evening.Blessing to you Colette and adorable Jack😍🙏.Thank you for bringing us to date on your gorgeous garden,just lovely😍
Hello Colette , Such a lovely video the birdsong makes it so magical and real most other video makers would void the natural and speak over the real stars of the video.ie. Gaia and her choir.
Hugs and blessings to yourself and Jack .🌹💚
What with the grand solar minimum that we are in I have changed my gardening plans to accommodate the various weather patterns we are experiencing. You have been a great help just by watching your ingenuity and use of the things you have at hand. That has been such an encouragement to me. I love how you do not give up just because you don’t have the “correct” pot or place (ie all veggies then all flowers, etc). Plant on Colette!
Nice. Good idea about the hanging baskets. It all looks lovely.
Kathy
What an awesome idea using the different sticks on your property to hold up your peas :) I am going to do the same …. As atm I’ve got string tied everywhere that keeps going limp lol
Such a peaceful birdsongs and your voice Colette and the blessed all too beautiful for words greenery that goes on far beyond the eye can see blessings to you and Jack ♥️
Beautiful blessings Colette and jack 💕💕💕
Blessings 💫✨💫
I love how knowledgeable you are, 🙏😘😘hugs from VA
❤️the Smell of Mint, I just admire you and your surroundings. Hug Jack for me, he’s such a Gem like you. We are unable to plant right here in VA, we are under a freeze warning. I have a lot of thoughts here, my dear friend. Enjoy your dinner and night.
I want a dog like Jack!
💚
I think that Jack is the happiest dog on this planet........he lives with a wonderful friend in a magical place!!! .......and your Veggie Garden is really wonderful! and YES and yes 200% with you.....everytime i plant trees or flowers my first thoughts are for the bees and birds and all the little insects..... and than me! Thank you Colette :-)
My partner and I just FREAKING LOVE your home and wonderful garden....and you ma’m are BRILLIANT!!! Thank You SO MUCH for your time and sharing soul! ❤️
We are Pagan,Vegan,all Animal lovers, Tree huggers, Mother Earth Lovers . Blessed Be from us both here in Gaerfyrddin,Sir Gaerfyrddin ,S/W Wales xxxxxx
That is wonderful about all the wild species of bees visiting your garden. What wonderful gardening concepts. I love watching your videos. Thank you.
oh dear dear Collette, your videos never cease to amaze me! after I've watched your videos I feel "lifted" calm and at ease. I am fighting a very bad illness but, just so look forward to watching you....your positivity is so encouraging...thank you....blessings to you and Jack xxx ps I so miss your live videos where we could chat to you....well....type messages to you while you were filming...take care stay safe xx
Your grounds are amazingly beautiful! And now, that garden you just planted is just great. Enjoy watching you here in northern Maine as the snow is still flying. No garden planting here, so I’m enjoying yours.
How lovely to be able to leave your front door open and not worry about who might walk in.... I need to move
I love your beautiful land and all you have done. I am inspired to plant some baby kale and lettuce on my balcony here in Mesa Az😊
Hi collette 💜 I can't help but notice the dress hanging from your mannequin in your office if you ever post a sewing video of the things you like to create I would be overjoyed ☺ I love the way you live life absolutely beautiful. I have been addicted to all your videos especially when you show what you get from the second hand stores . many blessings 💚 love from California
Thank you Darlene...more of those videos once lockdown is banished!
So informative and encouraging Colette,thank you.
Oh I do so enjoy these videos of yours Colette, so spontaneous and natural, just like being there with you. Have a wonderful day x😊🙋🏼
Have planted bottomless myself literally, figuratively and have had good luck with that! Love hearing the happy birds in the background!
Your cottage garden is so lovely. Very peaceful with all the birds singing.
Thank you so much!
Tires used in a garden is THE BEST way to "recycle" and keep them away from landfills and the absolute cost effectiveness....Would a new set of Bealtaine maps be drawn up in the future?
I had a thought that maybe the buzzing of the Bees dancing among the flowers actually make the Plants happy too(just like the Birds singing xx) ...as happy as they make me xxx Looking forward to the Super Moon in Scorpio , been very bright here in New Zealand as well and the Stars are even peaking at me through the skylights ...drawing me outside to gaze up between the Trees xx BLISS xx
Those pea pots are such a good idea and they'll make a tasty bench snack. They never make it to the kitchen at my house lol.
Minted peas, that was good. Your new garden bed is so very nice. We have had a clear sky here and I agree, the moon has been very bright to be about a half moon. Jack looked so happy. Blessings to you also!
Celebrating Earth Day morning here in the USA watching your lovely garden tour🌷🌳
Hi,Just wondering,what time does it get dark there as you said its nearly 8pm,I live in australia so just curious,your garden is just lovely,and jack the dog is delightful
I just received your book In Search of the Goddess Rising. Started reading with my dinner and have been hard pressed to put it down!
Have you seen Ratty lately? It makes me think of Wind in the Willows. You might want to rethink hanging strawberries at bird's eye level. I live along the Ohio River and it has been snowing on and off all day. Happy Earth Day?
Mr R is still around!
Hello the garden looks great as always. Love from Devon
Your house is very beautiful.
Your video's are such a comfort. I really look forward to them. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the interesting info on currants doing well up high, planting for bees and birds too
Colette,you always make me so happy.. Your garden is just a heaven of angels.. Your kitchen always makes me feel cosy and home.....
Can I ask how you remember all the jobs you need to do? Do you keep lists somewhere?
No lists, except in my head.
I LOVE YOUR STYLE... SUCH GOOD TASTE!! 👍🏼❤️
Those lovely happy birds singing in the background is a treat to the ears,and they are only there due to you planting all those trees. Happy world day to you 🌳🌍
Good evening Colette, everything looking good and well cared for at Bealtaine! So lovely to witness the new life flourishing at this time of year. Blessings to you and Jack.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us all and all the tips and tricks! Love every photo and view and the colours and the calm of it all. What a balm for the weary!
Love to you and Jack. Enjoy that yummy dinner! xo
Mr and Mrs Ratty Rattus have formally set up shop in my house. My cat seems to be getting along with them quite well, she is a very good Huntress outside on the farm but apparently if they're in the house she thinks that they're supposed to be there! I have many vegetable starts in the house right now and they have Taken 2 of my cauliflower and last night nibbled the new green tips on my Manzanita starts. They have also eaten the new leaves off of my oak tree. They have officially worn out their welcome! My cat still doesn't care. LOL
Good Evening Dear Colette Absolutely Stunning !!! Have a Lovely Evening Dearest Colette 🌀💚✨🌱Blessings to you And Sweet Jack XXX
All looking good Colette! Just observing all of your cordyline? palm trees - it is almost tropical at Bealtaine cottage! :)
Amazing 🌿🍓🥬I think this next full moon is a super moon so could partly be that 🌓
Good morning isn't it glorious just now, that birdsong so uplifting. Bottomless pots are great for tomatoes 🍅. Beautiful plot well done you. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE 💕
The garden is coming along! Very nice Colette ☺️ and Jack was enjoying his evening constitutional 🐶🥰 bright blessings to you both 🌛🌝🌜
You dear 😃 Colette inspire me. I love every one of your videos. I made a beautiful double Xmas wreath with the help of your wee tutorial. I saved Pak Choy and Cosmos seeds and am keen to see if they germinate. The poppy and dahlia seeds have come up. I wouldn't have tried but for your encouragement.❤️ I even made some lovely mosaics last summer whilst sitting in my small garden. Many thanks 💞 dear lady and a great big hug to Jack🍖🐾.
As always I enjoy your never ending projects around the cottage you an jack have many blessing your way your a beautiful boy jack👀👀👀👍🌷
You have made an oasis of life💗
I planted some basil here in Cyprus and a few days later it had all been eaten. I often find that, and the insects eat it all and leave nothing for me.
We get a lot of locusts and cricket type things that just eat everything. Its so disappointing.
Its a battle through the summer heat and then after winter just as things start to grow green all the hungry insects arrive.
🥴🐛🐌
Blessings for a lovely evening.
Beautiful!! I have also noticed how strangely bright the moon has been!! But so pretty!!😊
Good night Colette, Good night Jack boy, good night Mary Bealtine, good night Mother Earth, good night Father Sun, .......Good night.🌜⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lyrids are about this week, early morning before sunrise.... If you have little light pollution you may see them
Great idea hanging the baskets!
Everything looks so pretty . I am itching too get into my garden space , however we had snow and sleet last night . Going too freeze tonight. I enjoy seeing your magical place. Blessings too you and Jack.
Great idea colette . Will be putting my Lettuce in a basket this year . As they were all eaten last year by the slugs . Thanks for the tip. Xx
Hi Colette everything looks great your hard work pays off hugs to Jack and you and blessings💚❤
Earth ships or made out of Tyers I can't think of better use unfortunately Ireland / uk I don't think got right sort heat
🥰🇬🇧🌷
Good Evening Colette and Jack! Mmm minted peas! 😋 My favorite springtime veggie dish! The Veggie Garden is so charming. I fully expect to see Peter Rabbit taking up residency at some point. I'm getting ready to sew microgreens and misc. other seed as well. We had snow 2 days ago here in KS but beautiful and sunny today. I think I will have look at the moon tonight now that you've mentioned it! 🙄 Have a Magical Night Colette and Jack! 🤍 Blessings!
Oh and the tulips are such an exquisite color! Gorgeous! I think I will make a pea pot as well! Such good ideas Colette! Thank You!
More seed sowing for me tomorrow x
Saluti dall'Italia

Night vision of the half moonlight .
Mary Canada 🍁
Blessings to you XXX
Innovative, indeed! 👍😉🇨🇦🌓🌲🌹🐾💜
Lovely
There is no better place to see the stars, the Milky Way and the moon than from Bealtaine. I went outside a few times just to gaze at the night sky and feel a sense of awe and wonder.
Just wondering if an instant is more useful than a crockpot. I don't have room for both.
Depends on your lifestyle and work routine...I prefer the former!
Dear Colette , what a wonderful day . I found 5 Mahonia plants in my garden , they are 20 cm tall , quickly potted and saved . I love Mahonia plants . Your garden is an garden EDEN . Have a nice day . Best regards and many hugs 🤗🤗🤗 to you , my friend Jack 🐕🦺 , and your loved owns from Conny Braun and cat Felix 🐈⬛ from Germany . 🌏🤗🤗🤗🌲🌺🐝🐜🪳🕷🐛🪰🐞🦗🌸🦔🦫🐸🐜🦆🦉🐕🦺🐈⬛🐇🦇🦗🐌🌳🌏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
Ooh your tulips opened up and they are beautiful! Your garden is so lush. I have 4 acres in Northern California and sadly we are in a drought.
Everything looks healthy and happy! We had snow last night so I will have to see how that affects the plants here. I think the peas will be fine. Blessings to you and Jack. 💚
Curious if Mr Ratty figured out the bird feeder situation 🤔. Typical March day here in West Virginia. Snow, sleet with a little sunshine thrown into the mix. Cold 🥶 probably single digits in the morning with the wind chill. Brrrrrrr Blessings to you and dear Jack ❤.
away with the birds
Abundance...how wonderful ❤🙏
Enjoy your dinner x
Lovely
❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷
Any news of Mr. Ratty?
Yes........i want to know,too!!! :-)
Mr R is around...he has obviously moved into a more desirable residence...
@@bealtainecottage Ah! Too much publicity, lol!
Lovely video.
Why everything in bottomless pots?
See the vegetable garden videos posted recently.
I was just thinking, it would be fun to put photos of every year of the garden coming together, like those little books you flip real fast to see it like a film. It must have been something to see over all these years. Nursery garden, Love that.
Do you ever make black currant jam?
...used to...
Inspiring as always Colette, thank you.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful video
Many thanks
The tulips are so beautiful
