    I don't want this to come out wrong and I'd love to have a respectful conversation about this, but I feel like Lydia exclusively focuses on the appearance of things, to me there doesn't seem to be a true love or passion for the things she does. Her obsessions are all over the place and usually involve some sort of instant gratification. When you watch vlogs from a few years ago you can really see how distant and cold she's become.
    Buying fully grown plants and flowers to decorate a greenhouse, growing vegetables in 6 giant beds when she barely eats or likes any, re-branding a blog that is flooded with grammatical errors...it seems to always come down to aesthetics, there doesn't seem to be more thought or depth behind it. Growing older doesn't automatically mean you've grown as a person. As she said in this video "your content speaks for itself" and if this is the message I and others may be getting, I don't think an aesthetic re-brand will be enough to change that. Researching and being knowledgeable of the brands she promotes and partners with (sharing background info, proper pronunciation, behind the scenes access), having discount codes that work, engaging with her audience instead of deleting negative feedback, being open to constructive criticism... All of this would go a long way into re-building her brand, not just buying a new image to hide a damaged one.

    I love the idea of updating branding and I love the idea of the upgrade you're doing to your platform. Congratulations! However, honestly, I have to say that if you, meaning *you* and not as one of your 'team', are not going to be involved and communicating with your followers, it's going to be hard to support it. You are so talented! ;-) You have such a talent for promoting, advising, for creating and for excellence beyond your years...but you don't seem to want to talk to your followers. You are 33, but others are older and have the experience to know things that maybe you don't know yet, and when you ask for advise, I seldom see you engaging with followers. I hear you talk about 'your team', but how can people get behind a brand that they don't feel the creator even likes her followers? I see that you will communicate with your UA-cam followers with whom you have existing relationships; but you, as you, don't seem to want to communicate with us. I feel connected to all the UA-cam channels creators -- it's clear that they aren't afraid of their followers. I know that my comment will likely draw the ire of your supporters, but it's meant to be helpful, it's meant to be supportive. I think if you begin to talk genuinely to your followers, even those with constructive criticism like I have... you'll see incredible growth. I'd love to see you grow into the 21st century Martha Stewart...! ;-)

      I agree. I follow several influencers (horrible title) and make comments whenever I feel strongly about something. More often than not, I get a reply or a like in return. It takes a second to do but always makes the subscriber feel valued. I never bother with Lydia as know she will not acknowledge

    Be careful with your wild garlic Lydia. Once it takes it goes mad and spreads like crazy. The way it spreads is through the white flowers. My garden was taken over by wild garlic and to get rid of areas where you don’t want it you have to dig the bulbs up. To stop it spreading you need to pinch out and carefully dispose of the white flowers. If you leave the white flowers to blossom then they will detach from the plant and float all over your garden and seed itself everywhere. Sounds lovely but believe me, it’s a nightmare when it gets out of control 🙈

    Feeling really sorry for Lydia. She will do a high end fashion haul like Hermès or Dior and the comment section will be full of people calling her shallow and materialistic and condescendingly reminding her that “there’s more to life.” She will do a low end fashion haul like H&M and the comment section will be full of people telling her that she is destroying the planet, she’s shallow and materialistic and only cares about brand deals and making money. She does a home video and her comment section will be full of people telling her that she is wasting her money, that she will never be happy with her house, that she’s so shallow and materialistic, and “there is more to life than buying things.” She does a predominantly garden video like this one and its full of comments telling her that the gardening content is boring and she needs to do more fashion and home content. The woman can’t win...and people wonder why she doesn’t seem to want to “engage with her audience.” I think you are doing an incredible job Lydia. You are doing an amazing job at balancing all of the different aspects of you content and showing your various passions.

    Congratulations on your new site! I’ve been blogging since 2006 and it’s amazing to see how my site has evolved from then. I think that those of us who started early on via blogging will always have a special love for it. I’m constantly amazed by the people who reach out to me about posts that I wrote years ago! You’re smart to built out your website. I also work professionally in social media for large companies and we’ve always thought of social media as incredibly valuable but also as “rented land.” As in, you don’t own the channels, so Facebook, Instagram etc can tweak their algorithms, make changes in advertising policies, etc at any time. People that build businesses reliant only on those sites are especially vulnerable to platform changes. As such, having your website as the home for it all is very strategic. I cannot wait to see it when it’s live! ❤️

    Hi Lydia, please take this as constructive and not bashing in any way.
    As someone who’s been following you for years and years (here on UA-cam and Instagram) I think I can probably speak for the majority when I say that, when I get on my phone to watch UA-cam videos, that’s exactly where it ends for the most part. I just get on UA-cam and binge all the content in my subscription box.
    Links are amazing and an informative info box is always appreciated, but I can say that I’ll probably only check for a link every once in a while. I love your content but even so, your website isn’t something I’m interested in because I’m not really trying to visit separate domains for different people I follow.
    UA-cam gives me the content from hundreds of creators that I’m interested in in one app. If everyone started putting so much focus on their website and just sending us away to a blog it would ruin the experience here on UA-cam.
    It’s great that you’re so excited for your new website but I think you talking it up was just sort of disappointing because, well, it’s just a website. Redesign or not.
    But again, I hope you take what I’ve said lightly. It’s my opinion. You said you wanted to hear our feedback so it’s just that.
    Love the house, the greenhouse, the dresses, the pets! Honestly, love your content!! ♥️

    I save those glass corks on wine bottles - they fit almost any wine bottle (once you get a little collection of them) and look nicer than plastic things and seal better than an 'opened' cork, to re-'seal' open bottles. Or use a pretty no-paper-label wine bottle to make a bottle of real lemonade and seal it with the glass cork.

    Try putting down mulch on your garden beds. Mulch reduces water evaporation therefore less watering now you are coming to summer, even if it is an English summer and reduces pests. Loving the changes in your channel. Kind regards from Perth Australia.

    Asparagus! So happy we planted ours, I think this will be the fifth growing season - we did our first full harvest last year - yum! I have a bed that's about 2x3m, and I have four rows of five plants (planted on the short axis, as I could get more in). There's enough room between the rows so I can get in and harvest etc, and I have supports in for the end of the summer after we've stopped harvesting (we tend to stop about the end of June, so the plants can recover and gather energy for next year). We didn't harvest the first year, and then only harvested half of the spears the second and third year. 💕

    I don't expect anything from you except to live your life, find joy in the things that make you happy and feel blessed when you share it with me. I have always thought that you've spent the majority of your adult life working to foster rapport and build relationships with brands. It's how you make your living. You are a fashion blogger and UA-camr. You're also someone that is building a home with her husband. Sharing those processes is part of what I love about you, Ali and both your channels. Should you one day respond to one of my comments, I'd be pleased as punch. If you don't, oh well. You have a busy life. You can't be everywhere all the time. For people to expect that from you, is silly. I hope you continue to find joy in all the things that make you happy. I thank you for sharing what you do with us. There are some that have respectfully given constructive ideas on how you can achieve more success, give them a chance. For the others, feeling entitled enough to be rude, just ignore them.

    For the cabbage moths use the following:
    Homemade Spray
    Simply mix equal quantities of white flour and boiling water into a smooth paste. Dilute with enough cold water to make the liquid sprayable, and treat affected leaves. As the mixture dries, the flour 'glues' the caterpillars in place and suffocates them.
    While this homemade spray is chemically safe, it can also spell trouble for beneficial insects, so use with care
    Also these moths are territorial and you can buy decoy moths for about 5 quid. Probably teh most eco friendly also marigolds work well

      Danielaanna - I think it might be just a matter of balance. If she sprinkled the garden amongst other things that she was doing, it would be more interesting. (That's only my 'take' on it - I could be wrong). I've been gardening for 25 years, so I'm not saying I hate her doing gardening content - she would do better to mix it up a bit. xx

    La Mer, La Praire, Revive, Decleor & Caudalie are all very very good brands. As a Caudalie user, I love all their products, because they are organic and made from grape seeds and they all are very very good, especially their Face Mist is very very hot product and I suggest you should try that. I'm sure you'll like Caudalie's all products.
    Your green house became so very nice, loved it :) Happy seedings and I can see you like being there and spend most of your time there.

    Dear Lydia
    I’m enjoying your videos as usual.
    A gardening tip for you
    If you have the chance of rain, collect some rain water to water the plants for your veg and plants.
    Reason being that the water is more natural and has more minerals. Chemical free water as well. But do ensure no mosquitoes are able to breed there though :) cover the water and store them away. Not to mention it saves on your bills

  • @TheMidlifeGallivanters

    I'm so glad you mentioned India. People in first world countries, have no idea what people in 3rd world countries are going through. We lost our business partner in Mozambique to Covid in January. My husband also lost his sister and her husband in January and they had access to good health care here in South Africa. We have a very serious strain of the virus and because of that, 3 people very close to us, died within 4 days of each other. There may not be many deaths in other parts of the world, but when it touches your life personally, it's really tough xo

    Lydia if you have trouble with spacing plants I’ve heard good things about the book “Square Foot Gardening” the author uses a standard guide to layout a bed and then every plant is listed to how many fit per section. There is also tips for growing and composting. Best of luck in your garden it’s looking gorgeous!
