Very Welcome RAIN in the Garden #3

  • Here in the North of England, we have been having a bit of a heatwave. The rain that came this last couple of weeks was so very welcome and has made everything in my garden grow phenomenally! Weeds too!
    In this video I'll show you the work that my Garden Team were doing in the pouring rain in my Front Woods. We have a long term plan for this area. Watch this space!
    www.heritagecountrygardening....
    In fact, please DO watch this space - subscribe and click the notification bell because I don't post regularly and you may miss an update. To try and help with that I am numbering each video.
    The Last Homely House channel has just reached a wonderful milestone - 100K subscribers. If you are one of them - THANK you very much!
    I chose music for this video from Epidemic Sound to reflect the content. I hope you like it. Here you have
    Willow
    First Drops of Rain
    and
    Across The Lake
    very fitting I thought
    The recipe for Gooseberry Fool is very simple.
    Top and tail the gooseberries and give them a good wash. In a saucepan add a good handful of caster sugar to the berries with a glug of undiluted elderflower cordial. Heat gently for 10 minutes. The berries should not be mushy. Taste and adjust the sugar if you like.
    Fold this into lightly beaten double cream, one small pot of the stuff.
    That's it. Serve with little biscuits, shortbread traditionally, but I had amaretti biscuits. Delicious!

    Hello from Finland! This lovely video just popped in, and I love it. Here we put lambswool of low quality and full of dirt (which the spinning mills don't accept) around the plant beds and on the branches of young trees and bushes. No deer, bunny or rabbit will come and eat your vegetables which grows within this barrier. In addition to that, the wool will slowly nourish the soil. Try it! With love, Ulrika.

    Kate,
    I love your videos. Your life resembles mine only i have 4 married children and 11 grandchildren. You are an inspiration! After losing several close family members in a few years time ( including my son and fiancee among others) i am slowly returning to myself and quilting and gardening again. Your videos are a must while i sew and even just for fun and company!!! Thank you for sharing yourself and your talents with is! BTW…. I am a multi-project person like you with lots in the soup daily, lots of family interruptions and no end of new projects tapping me on the shoulder. I live in a tiny home now so i must control the piles and collections!!!! Or i may have to expand my living quarters. 😬. Thank you again!!!💜🩷🩵💙

    I live in the mountains in the northeastern part of the US. We had a couple of weeks of the drought here, but lately lots and lots of rain. Last year I put in things like gooseberries, red currents, elderberries, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries, to name a few. It's occurred to me that other than a few jams, I have no idea what to do with gooseberries. Doing a fool is a lovely idea. Thank you so much for this channel.

I have many blessings, but a glorious wild garden is not one of them. I particularly loved your willows, and am happy for you to have all those trimmings. I can easily imagine many lovely projects that can be made from them.
    Loved seeing Eileen today, despite her nerves at the noise. Someday I want a goose, too. :)

My grandparents had geese that looked like Eileen; we loved finding their huge eggs in unusual places. Gooseberries grew outside grandma’s garden. 😊

I kept the whippy branches intending to do some willow weaving but they are still unused in a bundle......hopefully they are providing shelter for wildlife! 😊
