- @cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm This week I am looking back at 2024 and some of my favourite flowers in the cutting garden. This will help me plan what I would like to grow this coming year. February is a good month for planning and the start of me getting back out in the greenhouse and flower garden again.

Recap videos are always so helpful. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching. Keeping a diary and looking back at the photos from the garden last year always really helps me work out what I am going to do this year.
So great to see you back!! You were missed🎉
Thanks so much, it’s good to be back and I’m looking forward to growing some more flowers this year.
Can't wait to see all these flowers in the garden again 🌸🌷🌺💐🌹🌼🌻
Thank you, not long now until those extra daylight hours and then seed sowing can get started! 🌱 🌺
Hi Catherine. So lovely to see you again…..look forward to seed sowing along with you!….my beloved Cosmos seeds await……
Great to have you back Catherine!
Thanks so much, it’s good to be back and thinking about this year in the garden 🙂
How lovely to see you again Catherine. I missed you.
Hello, thank you, it’s lovely to back. Just spotting the first snowdrops out today and hearing the birds singing in the garden. Not long until everything is growing away again x
Lovely to see you again Katherine. Always love your videos and the beautiful floristry work you do. Happy growing but remember to try and make time for yourself too, it's very hectic working in healthcare, Here's hoping your flower growing, gardening and floristry moments bring some tranquillity to your days. Here's to a successful 2025 season. x
Thank you for watching, it’s lovely to hear from you. I am def so much better at making time for myself now than years before. The weeds sometimes just have to wait! Some days you just have to have some down time after work and then it’s a nice dog walk, meeting a friend for a cuppa, swim or movie night with the girls. So the UA-cam videos will still be here but a bit more sporadic depending on how crazy life is at the time! Spending time in the garden in the summer evenings though I do really love after a day in hospital x
I have been in the NHS 40 years the garden has kept me sane over the years. I’ve watched your videos which have helped me improve and now in the position in the next year to actually stop work and develop a flower business. I hope. Thanks
I hope you have a really great start to developing your flower business so you can stop work. Like you having the flowers and garden here is definitely so important for me working in the hospital all day. Even if it’s 10 mins outside on a summer evening to do a gardening job it is just such a good thing to do. Good luck for your future flower business.
So glad you’re back! Happy Growing🙂💐
Thanks so much, it’s great to be back and thinking about starting off the first seeds of the year again 🙂
I am so happy to see a video from you! Thank you.
Thank you 🙂 it was lovely to get another video out to you and have time to look ahead to what to grow this year. Another wild night outside tonight so not quite there with the end of winter but lovely to have a little more light in the evenings so I think this is the weekend to start some sweet peas off.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm We are having a very mild week here in GA USA. Our daffodils and tulips are growing by the day.
Yay. Right on time. I was hopeful you’d be back!
So good to be back and planning flowers to grow again. A lot of work to do outside and looking forward to the lighter nights starting and being able to get back outside in the garden then. Thanks so much for watching today 🙂.
It is amazing how many of us flower farmers are nurses or paramedics. Perhaps its an antidote to the challenges of the job. This is my first winter as a full-time farmer. Im feeling the pinch financially but spring is coming. Love from Ireland as always ❤
Hello, lovely to hear from you! Good luck with the new growing season. The winters are def hard with less pennies coming in as a full time grower but spring is not far away so I hope you get some cracking blooms then. Are you growing many tulips?
I am so glad I have my flowers and garden to come home to in the spring and summer months. It’s lovely after a day inside and the challenges of the job to potter in the flower patches. I hope you have a great season and didn’t have too much damage from the storm last week xx
Delighted you're back!!
Thank so much, it’s good to be looking forward to another season of flowers.
It's lovely to see you back on You Tube you've been missed but it's good to hear you are still growing flowers. Good luck for the coming season with better weather and fewer slugs and snails.
Hello, it’s lovely to hear from you and that you enjoyed watching my catch up video. I am enjoying growing my flowers still and looking forward to this years new season in the garden x
G'day Catherine - hope you have a great season 🎉 We're starting to wind down in Australia. Nice to hear from you again!
Thank you, it’s great to hear from you and I hope your season has been a good one this year x
Thank you Catherine. I am so glad you had the time to make this video. It was so helpful. I am trying to plan this years growing season. Please take care of yourself. You have a lot going on.
Thanks so much for watching this one 🙂 It’s been nice to get a video to you all and start thinking about what to grow this year! Will definitely be careful not to take on too much and have some nice breaks planned at different times so looking forward to those! X
Hi Catherine, welcome back, lovely to see you. Looking forward to seeing more videos 🥰
Thank you 🙂 it’s lovely to be able to get a video out again and to think ahead to next year, the garden and growing some lovely flowers.
Great video, so interesting hearing how your season went .Away to order some procut sunflowers😊
Love to see you back! Love all the educational detail you have about growing flowers!
Thanks so much and for watching today. I am looking forward to getting my seeds started off again for this years flowers.
Great to have you back. It is thanks to you we had vases of flowers in the house for such a long season. I wonder if you could recommend the best varieties of snapdragons for the cutting garden?
I am so pleased you have been able to enjoy a full season of flowers for the house 🙂 that’s fantastic. I grow potomac and Madame butterfly snapdragons for cutting.
Great to see u back Catherine! 😍So happy you’re planning on making more videos 🥰 💐x
What compost do you use please? X
Beautiful. I also grow large dahlias and find they are somewhat large for flower arrangements. I imagine florists find that too,
Thank you. Yes I think the dinner plate dahlias have a place for maybe larger flower installations but for everyday bouquets florists arrange probably just a bit big. One of the florists I supplied last year was asking for smaller dahlias in her flower buckets.
So so good to see you 😍Hope that Ètowin (sp?) storm didn’t cause much damage for you
Hello 🙂 it’s lovely to be back and sharing the flowers and probably the weeds again with you! The storm I was worried about. A lot of trees came down locally but very luckily for us none did come down in the garden. The flower patch fencing needed a bit of fixing, the stall roof got broken but the greenhouse survived. So very lucky. Thanks so much for watching today 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration! Could you share what shrubs/ greenery you grow/ will be growing also I always struggle with the non-flowery bits. I grow for my home and to gift to friends and family but would like to have a bit more green in places haha
Hello, thanks so much for watching. There are so many lovely foliage and I wish I had more! You can never have too much! I love eucalyptus and it’s easy to grow from seed. What I struggle with is getting in through the winter. I love using skimmia, spiraea, physocarpus, snowberry. I really love pittosporum to use in arrangements but unfortunately lost this in the very cold winter we had a few years back. The other foliage above has got through all our winters and thrives here in Scotland.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm I did get some physocarpus last year it is lovey but such a dark red I felt I could only use it with certain colours. Pittosporum died on me too think the winters have been exceptionally wet these last years my mums eucalyptus all went grey/ yellow I think from wet feet even though they were in containers. Will look into the others you mentioned thank you!!
Ohh would love to know how you found 2024 I agree with some definitely seemed to be my hardest year gardening the slugs were just crazy I basically gave up with Brassicas and lost a lot of veg as my allotment flooded twice!
Hello 🙂 like you 2024 was not the best growing year I have had. The weather was not brilliant with very little sun over the summer and higher than usual amount of slug and snail damage. We also had a one off early frost in September and the flowers never really recovered from that. I am hoping we get a bit more sunshine this year to help the flowers along a bit. Every year is always different! I am so sorry your allotment flooded twice 😢 I hope this year on the allotment is a better one for you x
Hi Catherine lovely to see you back…. can I ask where you buy your pro cut sunflowers from? …. thank you
Hello, lovely to be back and thinking about flowers again. I have got some from moles seeds, some from plants of distinction before. Thanks for watching 🙂
Creeping buttercup is my biggest nightmare. I found it was easier to get up when the soil was dry.
That’s good to know thank you. It really does spread quickly and get everywhere.
Hi great video. Your astrantia do you start that by seed? If so any tips on how to do it?
Thank you. I have done a bit of both over the years, some bought plants and some grown from seed. The seed sowing has worked but it does take time. I have sown in the autumn in seed trays and nothing happened. But if you leave the seed trays over the winter the changes in temp help and I would get germination in the spring. That was the most difficult bit getting them to germinate. After that the seedlings came on well.
