Transforming the Overgrown Hedge / Homegrown Garden

- On a freezing cold January day, see how I tackle the overgrown hedge at the back of my allotment to open up it to a spectacular view with the sun shining. In this video you'll hear all about the tools I use, the wildlife benefits that hedges bring and learn how I reuse all the clippings!
I never did have that tea break but speaking of tea, thank you for all of your monetary support (and cups of tea) I really do appreciate it. 💖

Nicely done young lady! You do not need a gym membership!
Always look forward to your videos!
Thank you from Canada!
Mike😀👍
Wow, great view...job well done. The birds will be happy...more light, more plants, more bugs for them to munch on.🙂 Continue to get done all those tasks you have desired to do because soon you will have another excellent job that won't give you as much time in your beautiful secret garden. Love the hat and cozy sweater...take care!🙂
Your videos are so inspirational. I put you on pause. Then I went out and trimmed my hedges. Came back in and finish watching you. Thank you. I look forward to your videos.
No way! Good on ya 💪 Thanks for watching and getting out in the garden.
@@homegrowngarden .. hello lovey, you’re not frightened at all of hard work are you?..so nice to see you, your hard work will take you a long way in future.. mark my words.. happy new year to you sweety.. god bless you
It seriously looks so good. It will make the sunsets just that much more breathtaking.
Wow! Good job! It has definitely increased the beautiful view. Looking forward to seeing the regrowth and how you develop it.
And look, here we have the native energizer bunny in it's seasonal rain gear coat. : )
ive been following you for about a year now and I must say I have always liked your channel but it was never my favourite gardening channel until recently. I really look forward to seeing your garden grow and I especially appreciate that you don't try to be a "how to" channel. I just want to see peoples gardens and that's what you do, love it. You have passed Charles Dowding on my all time favourite gardening channel list, so congrats on that!
Brilliant job! My plot has become very overgrown and untidy whilst my brother was ill with cancer. I’ve been lacking the motivation to get it straight again because there is so much to do. I’ve only come across your channel this week and what you have done on your plot is so inspirational. Really enjoyed your videos and your plot is beautiful. Love how you take care of the wildlife too. Seeing what you have achieved has made me excited to do my plot again!! Looking forward to seeing more videos x
Oh if only I could move there. We are -10 and snow near my gardens are up to my knees. Those projects have to take place in fall or April for us. It looks SO MUCH BETTER. What a view.
So grateful for Penny and her willingness to help!!🥰
It's not a corner of shame, it is a resource area ;)
I live in Sydney and we don't get down to anywhere close to your temperatures (minimum of 8-10 in the middle of winter) so seeing the frost up close was lovely. Thank you for sharing that.
I could not without a sawzall! 🥵You are one tough chick! Well done!! No where near redundant🥰
Thank you for giving us a wider view of your allotment. This vlog reminds me of the great fatigue that took me to clean and tidy up my cottage in Piemonte (Italy). And the effort is still going on. But every minute I spend there is a blessing. Right now it's full of snow.. So...have a good Sunday, can't wait to see more videos! 🌾🌿🌻🐞💕
That was such a transformation. I’m envious of your energy. Well done fantastic job. Love that your using all the cuttings for the support of your garden and the wildlife in it. 💚
Thank you Tracey. 🐞
Love all the girl
Power! You tackled a big project and when you needed a little help a gal with a chainsaw came to your aid.
women are getting better & better at doing amazing things..i just watched a tv news video on 4 women ( captain a woman too )who flew over the North Pole ( flight from San Francisco to South Indian over 17 hrs.)i was chuffed
That tidy up really made a difference. It was beautiful before but now it’s breathtaking.😊
I loved this episode. There is nothing like a job well done to lift the spirit.
Set a chair below the bird feeder and sit in it and put the seeds on your shoulders and on the arm's of the chair when they come put some seeds on your upper legs so this for a week then only the chair arms and feed them with your hands slowly...works every time
It was lovely to see the smile on your face when your hedge was at the right level finally and you had such a glow and have lovely music in the background with a friend that makes my heart smile as I can’t go out in lockdown and my husband became positive on his Corona test so watching you made me feel really good and I hate it when a job is not done ☺️
Thank you for watching Charlotte, I hope my video gave you some peace and tranquillity. I wish you both the best health and your husband a fast recovery 💚
Cute hat!
Thanks, it’s my old faithful hat. I’ve had it so many years and it’s looking a little scruffy but I can’t part with it. It’s the best hat ever 😄
😀 That looks so much better - Great work 👍
Hey Kat.....i loved the video...ur a worker....the view looks great!!!😘💕
"Chainsaw Penny" sounds like a fun rock/metal band name. :-D
That view really does make all the effort seem worthwhile.
I'm inspired. Just the job I need to do today. The weather is perfect today for it.
Hope you had a productive day!
Great job, it’s always so rewarding the sense of accomplishment. Enjoy your rewards. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Another ray of sunshine with this video. An antidote to Lockdown blues. May I suggest a way to not just support Katrina with compliments but to click on SHOW MORE above and make a donation to her work? As we say in Scotland, "Mony a meikle maks a muckle." -a lot of small things make a big thing.
You’re too kind. Thank you for your recent donation James 💚
James Brown where is "show more"?
@@lalaholland5929 Hi Lala, it's immediately under the following sentence, "he wildlife benefits that hedges bring and learn how I reuse all the clippings! " which is Katrina's introductory comments immediately below the video. I was inspired to click there by another commenter, otherwise I would have missed it.
@@lalaholland5929 Hi Lala, SHOW MORE is just below the words, "the wildlife benefits that hedges bring and learn how I reuse all the clippings!" in Katrina's introductory remarks just below the video.
get a deck up behind the shed then you can have storage under it and you can sit up there with the view and enjoy your tea x
Katrina you are being brave being out in the freezing cold weather. Excellent video and well done job with the hedge and trees.
I bit of cold weather won’t stop me getting out on the plot! 😄
Do look after yourself with glove protection
Wow!! And then there was light 💡😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I too have a corner of shame 🤣 love the new look! Going to look amazing in spring!
Wow! What an amazing transformation. Well done!
Wonderful workout. Beautiful view.
Well done !
I always cut back the ivy hedge in April.
I cut it off quite severe ...but already in may I have fresh growth ...
I spontaneously think you could plant honeysuckle to this hedge ...
Nice flowers , red berries for the birds to feed
If you cut back the hedge ...the Honeysuckle becomes more bushy .
I have planted honeysuckle to an older hedge of ligustrum with ivey ...the end result was fantastic.
I highly recommend .
Kind regards from Belgium .
Fantastic work and what a enourmous change to the view. Well done you
Love your videos. What a beautiful place to be in your garden even in January.
A job well done with an amazing transformation 💕 love these type of videos 🌸💕🌸
Very satisfying. Thank you.
It’s great to see you smiling and doing chores around the allotment. I really like the Vlog style too. I find you very interesting and a breath of fresh air. This style makes me feel like we’re getting a treat.
Keep it up. I’m sure there are other Vlog ideas too. Chores are part of the whole journey.
Thanks for spreading your special kind of happiness.
Big love Rob.
That was a big job! What a great view!
Very satisfying, lovely to let the light in🦘
I think I have watched all your videos, and I really like all of them, but I particullarly like this one a lot, I think maybe because it was such a big job and it opened up a beautiful view and a lot of light, very well done to you and Penny and thank you for publishing your videos
I have been amazed with the quick germination of the straw flowers. I bought a heat pad and sowed them 08th Jan 2021. They are all up and I have them under a grow light. They are really doing well. You inspired me to grow them.
I found the same too and with very successful germination rates! 👏🏻
Last time i bought bird seed, on checking out I asked the cashier if they knew how long after planting id have some birds ;)
They were not amused.
Good to see that your 'weapons ready' lol
What a gorgeous view. I’m not surprised you had such a big smile on your face!
Loved this wholesome video during lockdown
It looks great! I love all the sky and sunlight showing now. Baby birds everywhere come spring!
What a splendid result a couple of days of effort has produced! I was also eyeing up your bug hotels attached to the side of your shed. Totally going to rob that idea!
Hi Katrina, new subscriber here!
I've only got a little garden myself, but try and pack in as much as I can without making it look like the triffids have invaded. Just wanted to say that you're a real breath of fresh air on here - not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but love the interest and excitement which comes over in your videos.
Really appreciate your hard work in this frosty weather but important thing is you enjoy it and finished up chores. Birds are very happy. Thank you for lovely sharing❤️❤️
That was satisfying to watch! I now need to find an overgrown hedge. Good job.
Its my birthday today and I love watching your videos so you posting one today made my birthday...thanks :)
Oh my gosh, Happy Birthday Tina !! 🥳 Thank you so much for joining me on your special day. 🎈
Looks fantastic! Well done!👏
That view makes me want to take a seat on top of your shed with a cup of tea! Love it!!
I am glad you had a think about it and took my advice well done you. I am looking forward to 2021 with you on your allotment thank you😊😊
Great job! You are inspiring.
good work and beautiful view
Looks beautiful!
That looks so much better the view is great
I love it! Your hard work and perseverance paid off. It looks amazing. You’ve inspired me to get out tomorrow and start back clearing my hedge as well. It’s been unusually cold here in subtropical Alabama. This southern girl is NOT a fan of freezing temps. I think I’ll bundle up in the morning and get busy! 💪
You’ve got this!! 💪 Let us know how you get on.
brilliant 👏 what a view well done 👍
You are a true inspiration, thank you for all your hard work. 👍
So much more light! It will help your garden grow. Great job.
Looking really good much more light coming in now.
Brilliant and gorgeous overview of the garden.
Hello from Ontario Canada Thankyou for the video wow what a difference pat on the back no wonder the church choir was singing hallelujah perhaps lol. You could put some bird boxes on the stumps and the green can grow all around just a thought. Take care and stay safe my friend blessings 🐝
what a great job that was well done
I have been loving the more frequent videos :')
🥰 You’re welcome!
Looks great! Well done 😍👍
Bulbs are growing through the process.Bless them!
I have some dying shrubs in my garden that I am loathe to cut down since the sparrows love them. Birdsong in the spring is such a wonderful thing so I hope you still have birds in your plot. That said, I have an open fronted birdbox hidden away which hopefully a Robin will move into and we have our friendly blackbird that sings to us in the spring.
Voice is so good.
(from South Korea)
목소리 너무 좋아요.
BRILLIANT - great job !
Good to see you again and the first time in the new year... Job well done.. Some hard phisical work is good for health... Stay safe...
Very satisfying to cut back hedges that have gone wild. One of my favourite jobs, especially when in the mood to do it. Its good way to blowing off a bit of steam during lock down.The results can be seen immediately as well as a sense of achievement Ivy is the killing the trees in our garden. So I'm keen to remove it from around the bark ,strip back as much as I can and let the rest wither in time. A lot of the green foliage can be composted. Next job is the corner of shame put to use. Keep up the good work..
It really does make you feel good to get stuck into jobs like this! Best of luck with your own garden jobs. Thanks for watching 💚
My new favourite gardener 😍
I really love it
That Beautiful View!!! Cheers to your hard work 🥂
love your videos! ❤️
Your spirit animal is some kind of fluffy rabbit or squirrel

Great job done, well done. So satisfying to see this incredible view 😊
Beautiful view good job
Awesome job! Looks great!
years ago my city maintenance was clearing under power lines in alley behind my out bldgs. my fence was overgrown like yours so i asked them to cut off the trees at fence height so i could reach future growth. they said not allowed, so i forgot about it. days later i went back there and they had cut AND carried it away, more than i asked!!! i kept it low as promised. this past summer i finally dug out the last roots and am working on replacing fence!!! hard work, but worth it, hang with it!!!
What a result! 🙌🏻💚
Made such a difference.love the view.
Nice job. Well done for thinking about the birds.
Viel Arbeit mit der Hecke ,Girlpower Danke für das Video Liebe Grüße Benny
