How blessed you are to have Ant with all his knowledge and skills, and what a fabulous friendship you have, can’t wait to see how the garden develops. 💚🌱
Dear Kate, I just received my copy of your book. It's precious to to and I understand, as I Leafed through it. I will be spending reading and pondering time after devotions, every morning, as I manage my retirement lifestyle. Thanks much, for sharing!
Ant is a real treasure🤗. You’ll love being able to watch the children on the swings and playing on the grass, maybe a little wading pool to splash in when it’s wicked hot.
@speckledhen409 - sending you a hug,I hope you don't mind! I don't know, orr need to know what is troubling you, but in Kate's garden and in the community that follows the last homely house, there must be more like me who want to lift the care and sadness from your shoulders. We are put here to comfort and love one another... never feel you are alone in a time of trouble.❤☺🌴🇦🇮
All sounds good! I was raised by a gardener mom who liked things natural and said, “there are no straight lines in nature.” Once the gardener trimmed a hedge into a boxy shape and she was heartbroken til it grew back. 😂
I have several Ants in my life and I’m so grateful for it! Everything Ant has done is so nice, thoughtful and filled with love and care! ❤ And it’s great to see you prancing for the camera and the drone!! All so sweet, Kate. ❤
ha ha! if you could see how much footage I had to trawl though to get that little shot Jamie! I've got some weird shots of my roof and the farm track! xxx
Hello Kate. Thankyou so much for another lovely video. I absolutely love having you as a you tube friend❤❤ I watched 16a first and it was lovely. Agnes is such a big girl now! What a great area for the whole family! Thank you for inviting us in❤
Ant is such a good man. I'm so happy to have met him through your channel and I have been watching his channel now, since he started! It's always a pleasure to see what you've been up to. Always exciting!
How lovely that you can make space for the children to play in the garden. They are so lucky! Im sure your family will have great times out there. I know that you will all keep an eye on the little ones but I just want to remind people that ponds can be dangerous as well as fascinating for children . I grew up on the countryside, and as children,safety around water was always drummed into us ! Whenever i see a pond , I still remember one safety film about "the spirit of dark water" that scared us to bits! I wonder if you and Ant remember it too!
Watching Ant garden makes me think it could be a sport at the Olympics! It is lovely to see Kate's creative thinking in the garden as well as in her house.
My goodness, what a gem you have in your friend Ant! You are getting quite handy with your drone, Kate! You are always so appreciative of what Ant does for you. He is a sweet man! I enjoy following his adventures, too! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻
Oh Kate, I get so excited every time i see you have posted a new video!! What a great idea Ant had and what a transformation. I have tossed the idea of hanging a bird feeder and after seeing what you have done with yours, I am convinced I need to get it done. Thank you for your much enjoyed company, ideas and inspirations. I wish an Ant lived near me. Maybe I would get more done. Great job Ant!
You and Ant will figure out how to retain some wildness, I’m sure. The perennial borders I planted over the past 20 years in my very small yard don’t look so “planned” anymore and I love it!
WOW - it looks so much better with an area of clearing. Like they always say with quilts - the eye needs a place to rest. I think it might be the same with your garden too. It looks amazing!! Good Job - Ant & Kate!!👏👏👏
Kate, you and Ant are a terrific combo. Love his ideas about the changes to the garden and it will be so fun to have swings for the kiddos! Your videos always bring me joy! My heart skips a beat whenever I see the wall quilt you made in the cabin : ). Thank you for the wonderful tour. Love to you and Ant.
So nice to see how well you and Ant work together. I need an Ant in my world . Can't wait to see the beautiful garden you two have planned and that your grandkids and family will enjoy . Thank you, Kate and Ant.
Brilliant! Perhaps a large solar battery water spray in the pond? Keeps the water moving and hummingbirds and dragonflies love to fly through its spray. Your willingness to create the pond should be commended. Wonderful and inspirational...Ant's skills are brilliant🦤
That's really opened up the garden I can imagine family picnics on the lawn and your grandchildren playing on the swings ,lovely idea for your garden .x
How fortunate you are to have Ant as a neighbor and friend. Love the ideas he has to make your garden functional for your grandchildren as well as beautiful with the plants and flowers. The pond is so lovely and peaceful and Eileen is just as proud of it as you are, Kate. It will be interesting to see the birds coming to your feeders...I wonder if there will be any different ones, now they are by the pond. Thanks for sharing this beautiful footage. Y'all have a Blessed day.
I love that little carpet of grass in the otherwise lovely, wildish garden. It's like the negative space in a painting that makes all the glorious beauty even more impressive.
Such a lovely way to spend Sunday morning's coffee and muffin munching watching the opening up of your beautiful garden. Thank you, Ant, Kate and Eileen (cabin and pond overlord). 🧡💚💙
What a difference! I love an English garden with the wildflowers giving a casual look and feel; I also love what just happened in this video to give way to a wonderful play area for the grandchildren! The swing set (and a picnic table maybe) will fit just right there!
What a joy to watch this lovely, calm, healing video. It is such a pleasure to see how you work with your community to get things done around your house. It is complete delight. Thank you and thanks to Ant as well.
I started watching you in 2017. It's astounding the changes you have made in and around your home. Plus all those projects of fabric and yarn. I need to take a nap just thinking about it😂
Hi Kate and Ant your garden is looking lovely already with these changes, I could see how excited you were Kate with all Ants suggestion's will be looking forward to what happens next , nice to see Eileen also your lovely grandson take care
Oh I've just found you. This was so nice to watch. You and Ant so lovely and love the lawn and totally get the not wanting a manicured look. I think its going to be wonderful. Now I'm off to watch all your previous videos what a perfect way to spend a cold wet Sunday afternoon in front of fire with a nice cuppa 😊
Lovely video Kate, Ant done a great job. You can see that he is more relaxed now, on camera. Snowdrops under your trees would be a nice touch for spring.
I can see your grandchildren running and swinging and just having such a good time now. You are so blessed to have Ant. The garden looks amazing with all the pretty green grass coming up.
I agree. I want an ant in my life. Kate your wonderful ideas inspire me. I'm sure you're grandchildren will love some playing areas in your garden. No to traditional is always best Kate. 😊❤
What a nice transformation. Ant is such a steady man of knowledge and a hard worker. I live in the USA, in California, where life seems erratic and overly fast paced, due to long distances and the traffic situation. It is a treat for me to watch you and Ant work together, and also watching Ant alone, on his channel; it is like meditation for me due to your harmony and good will. I wish you a lot of fun with your grandchildren and many happy, reflective hours in the cabin. It:makes me happy to watch you both in action. ❤️
Kate, everything looks so nice. What a great place for the Grandkids to play.. Love your Videos. I love the outcome when you and Ant put your heads together.
I love the juxtaposition of more manicured areas with more wild areas, same with very shady areas opening to sun-drenched areas. They create so much energy and visual interest in the garden. I have found wild flower gardens to be fairly high maintenance as they are so welcoming to weeds. Looking forward to how your lawn develops…I think you will find the patch of green very comforting and a place to rest your eye as your flowers fill the edges.
Well done! Wonderful idea to make a soft area for the grandchildren to entertain themselves. The beautiful wild flowers will be a lovely accent to the space. I look forward to more from the "Last Homely Garden"
Thank you Kate for everything you do on UA-cam. Such a lovely way of starting my day, watching your beautiful place becoming more beautiful with all that is changing. We have a few hobby's in common, so love all the sewing, crocheting etc. as well. Greetings from The Netherlands.
You two are Adorable! The transformations are lovely and your cooperation and collation inspire! Now if you could just nudge Mark Knopfler to pay a visit and maybe play a tune!❤😊
Thank you for sharing! This is going g to be great for the children. I love how he fixed the pond for Eileen and if you add a few pond lilies it will be heavenly. This is fantastic!
I really love watching all of your videos, especially the quilting and gardening ones. You and Ant have really worked hard on your garden. I really love how its looking and can't wait to see it when all the grass has taken.
Hi from California Mountains -- 90 degrees plus F on the mountain this summer -- only flower growing is a lovely bougainvillea. - that Baby is joyous, thank you
Everyone needs an ANT in their lives…..
Absolutely! I could do with an Ant even if I live in an apartment and have the tiniest of balconies 😂
I totally agree!
It looks wonderful Kate and kudos to Ant. He is so talented and such a blessing to you!
Wonder where I can get an Ant clone?
The world needs a whole colony of Ants. To help us all tame our gardens. What a lovely friend to have.
How blessed you are to have Ant with all his knowledge and skills, and what a fabulous friendship you have, can’t wait to see how the garden develops. 💚🌱
Ant is a man of many talents. He a blessing to have such a wonderful friend 🌻🧡
Ant is a wonder. What a smart and kind man he is.❤

I can't remember having that sort of 'hot' here this year! they'd get hypothermia! ha ha! xxx
When Ant and Kate put their heads together BEAUTIFUL things happen 😊❤
I have been so sad lately. Your lovely garden cheered me up.
@speckledhen409 - sending you a hug,I hope you don't mind!

Please feel better soon - I hope I send a little smile your way xxxxx
I need an ANT in my life…please send him my way after he’s done in your yard! 😅 You’re so fortunate to have such a good friend and neighbor❤
Oh my goodness. Ant is a jewel! So smart and kind and great sense of humor 😊
What a Gem of a friend you have in Ant! ❤
Just lovely!!! It doesn’t even resemble a “lawn!” 😊 I am looking forward to seeing it after the swings are in. ❤ Diann
Dear Kate...you are so Blessed to live in such a paradise.
The granbaby walking up made all the efforts effortless. Very lovely❤❤❤❤
That looks grand, you can see your pretty house now.
All sounds good! I was raised by a gardener mom who liked things natural and said, “there are no straight lines in nature.” Once the gardener trimmed a hedge into a boxy shape and she was heartbroken til it grew back. 😂

Kate, the new lawn is beautifu!.
I loved that Ant did the gravity-feed pipe to refresh the pond. Wonderful man.
Cheers always.
Watching Ant garden makes me think it could be a sport at the Olympics! It is lovely to see Kate's creative thinking in the garden as well as in her house.
My goodness, what a gem you have in your friend Ant! You are getting quite handy with your drone, Kate! You are always so appreciative of what Ant does for you. He is a sweet man! I enjoy following his adventures, too! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻
the drone! you should have seen the amount of footage I couldn't use! ha ha! I'm getting better! xxx
Pretty incredible what can be accomplished in 2 days! Awesome idea, expertly executed. Children will love it!
Kate and Ant together❤
That looks like a spiritual retreat.
😊

That’s a truly lovely sentiment Carole!!!

That is going to be a lovely spot for the littles to play in. Well done Ant and Kate!

How lovely … a place for the Grands to play, flowers to enjoy, and a bit of grass for soft landings ir picnics! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Your lawn is going to fantastic, can’t wait to see the results of your hard work with Ant.

Great job and very nice to meet your grand baby very cute .💐🙏❤️😊👏👏👏👏👏🌹💐🌹💐
it was a flying visit but it was lovely to see him nearly walking!!! xxx
It's wonderful how quickly the grass springs up when you have lots of rain! Great job.
I love that little carpet of grass in the otherwise lovely, wildish garden. It's like the negative space in a painting that makes all the glorious beauty even more impressive.
Such a lovely way to spend Sunday morning's coffee and muffin munching watching the opening up of your beautiful garden. Thank you, Ant, Kate and Eileen (cabin and pond overlord). 🧡💚💙
WoW...Kate. It looks absolutely wonderful. A joy to watch Ant's being so creative.

I agree we all need an Ant in our backyards.

What a blessing Ants is. It will be wonderful for the children to have an outside play at Grandma's house. Thank you for the visit!
It’ll be a big, project. We are all excited for you! 🇨🇦
Hi I am Canadian . Do your mountains called Rockies?

So much fun to see the progress! You have a gem of a person to lend a hand in your helper Ant! Looking forward to see how things come together!
A little piece of heaven ..Ant is such a treasure.Your grandson is scrumptious ❤😊😊😊
I am waving back. It is very exciting and will be such a blessing to your grands. I see picnics out there too!
Lovely video Kate, Ant done a great job. You can see that he is more relaxed now, on camera.

That Ant is a keeper! And the really nice thing is that he does the work and then goes home. 😂
Ant has brilliant ideas. The "lawn" will be excellent for family fun.

I agree. I want an ant in my life.
Kate your wonderful ideas inspire me. I'm sure you're grandchildren will love some playing areas in your garden.
No to traditional is always best Kate. 😊❤
Wonderful. Love that the edges are still naturalized. Your grandchildren will love it. Much love and smiles from upstate New York by Canada.
What a nice transformation. Ant is such a steady man of knowledge and a hard worker.

Happiness = handyman
So happy for you and can imagine many happy grandchildren visits. Heck, I want to come play at your house.
Ant is very persuasive Kate with such great ideas.! The garden looks lovely already.
What a lovely space for the whole family. Great place for blanket tents and teddy bears picnics.
It really is! I have the blankets all ready!!! xxx
Ahhh yes Indeed, another lovely, grand, beautiful job, well done the 2 of ya! Onward and upward to many more to come! Take care!🇨🇦 💖👏🦋🌈

Great views with the drone! It will be a lovely place for your grandkids to play. Thanks Kate
That is AMAZING how quickly the grass grew! Exciting!
Love the organic look of the birdfeeder “hanger”.
Lovely indeed after all of that hard work! Ant is just the best; isn’t he, Kate!!
Well done! Wonderful idea to make a soft area for the grandchildren to entertain themselves. The beautiful wild flowers will be a lovely accent to the space. I look forward to more from the "Last Homely Garden"
Everyone could do with an Ant in their garden! Lovely transformation Kate and watching the children play will be a joy for you!
It sounds like a wonderful Meadow Garden is brewing!
Thank you Kate for everything you do on UA-cam. Such a lovely way of starting my day, watching your beautiful place becoming more beautiful with all that is changing. We have a few hobby's in common, so love all the sewing, crocheting etc. as well. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Its going to be so great for the grandkids!!
Your landlord is so lucky to have you doing all this work!
Painting this idea is a lovely line! Creating a green oasis is another one! What poetic verse the 2 are having.
Absolutely beautiful! I love your garden and pond. How blessed you are to have Ant and he too to have you as a friend. ❤️
You two are Adorable!
The transformations are lovely and your cooperation and collation inspire!
Now if you could just nudge Mark Knopfler to pay a visit and maybe play a tune!❤😊
What a beautiful play area for the grandchildren! That really opens up that space nicely. ❤
A lovely transformation without formality the garden just doesn’t call for!
Thank you for sharing! This is going g to be great for the children. I love how he fixed the pond for Eileen and if you add a few pond lilies it will be heavenly. This is fantastic!
You and your family are going to love this! It’s brilliant - what a transformation!!!
I really love watching all of your videos, especially the quilting and gardening ones. You and Ant have really worked hard on your garden. I really love how its looking and can't wait to see it when all the grass has taken.
dear Kate.......the garden looks beautiful........everybody needs Ant...........................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
What a gorgeous space . Well done Ant - everyone needs to have an Ant in their back pockets :) Lovely.
Your lawn looks so good! Now you can vision those grands running around and so much easier to care for🥰.
I think the garden will be wonderful , both pretty and great for the grandchildren.
That Ants is an outdoor artist. The grandkids will love having an area to run and play (and swing).
Ant is a treasure! And don't worry. It is your garden, so it's never going to be a posh lawn.
no - I'll make sure of that! xxx
Hi from California Mountains -- 90 degrees plus F on the mountain this summer -- only flower growing is a lovely bougainvillea. - that Baby is joyous, thank you
