Enjoying my Sunday morning show! Pre-Covid I had bees on the rooftop of a 3 unit building in San Francisco. In 2021 I moved and gave away my bees. This year I am settled enough to get bees again! They are amazing I just enjoy them!
You're an absolute treasure for bringing us this information, Terri. You don't know it, but you have changed my life. You and your videos have helped pull me out of a dark night of the soul situation. Thank you! 🙏
I love when you get your "bossy head on," Terri! I'm right on your wavelength about all of the nefarious goings on. Didn't know about the grinding of bones, but not surprised by anything anymore. I moved alone to the country in 2020 at age 67 and knew very little about vegetable gardening. But the land here is covered with medicinal weeds/plants, and I've made friends with lots of the local farmers. My Mystery Garden kind of has a way of her own, sort of like me, I guess. :) I planted potatoes a la Ruth Stout this year, and they're thriving! No weeding or watering. We've had an inordinate amount of rain this spring. Love your videos!
I like her bossy head' to! Teri is clearly awake and I think we all know what she's talking about! I applaud u for moving away! I'm in London I had a 2 wk break in Kent by the sea and felt recharged sadly since being back I feel London leeching my energy again!
After working in my garden most of today I decided I was ready for a sit down. There is nothing better than to watch your videos for pure entertainment and relaxation. No, this is not just about seeing somebody else work, which has a certain joy, but it is your lovely garden, the surrounding landscape and your beauty. It is a joy to see you undertake all the tasks with a total surrender and optimism. It is as if I am in Ireland for a little while. Lovely! Instead I am in Holland in a tiny village, surrounded by farm land and beautiful old buildings. Another kind of lovely. Many thanks for your generosity.
How exciting that have bees! I am sure that they will love their new home. I am amazed at how much the garden changes in a single week. That was also some wonderful art work that you showed! Thank you, Terri.
Jeff we love the artwork. I will send you a little video to show where all the other bits are too. It is incredible how much change happens in one week xx Blessings to you both xx
Congratulations on your new occupant's the 🐝 🐝 bees. Being a bee keeker myself you'll be impressed with their skills and hard work. They will get to know you and won't sting you. You'll find that your garden yields will be greater and bigger. A natural antibiotic will be priceless in your kit. Bee keepers also tend to live longer an interesting fact. Bye for now from Australia.
Thank you Robert. We are going to meet with the beekeeping association on Sunday so will get some gear and then we can start interacting with the bees. So looking forward to the journey with them and have been telling them the news all week!😀 xx
I have a beautiful community garden within 10 minutes walk from my apartment. It's 12' x 12' and I have a lot of different vegetables growing. And, I am getting ideas from other gardeners about what to grow next year!
I've found lots of bees enjoying my borage flowers. Have to be very careful when I'm around the flowers so I don't disturb the bees. We seem to have been trained to pick our produce from the grocery stores by the way it looks and ignore what's been done to them with additives. I'm sure the lack of taste is a main reason people don't eat a lot of 'fresh veggies' from the stores. Night and day difference from those you harvest from your garden. Even growing one or two things will add some much-needed nutrition to your diet. Your gardens look better and better each time you share them with us.
Thanks Tennessee Nana - everything is doing ok so far although a couple of raspberry bushes are struggling. I agree re taste - one of our more important senses is completely unstimulated today with the factory foods. Borage is definitely loved by the bees here too. xx
We don't have a Hive... officially....but are lucky to have been unwittingly hosting a number of bees for 3 consecutive years with ' Bee Hotels' . They chose the bottom step of the back deck, a disused bird box & a window ledge in the garage to recouperate in. Often had to help them check out from the garage though. 😉 It's crazy here in AB with extreme heat one week & then days of heavy rains - very unusual - have got tons of small carrots to transplant out but worry they won't withstand such ping- ponging weather ! Small greenhouse & containers bursting with beans & pea plants.... they're stronger/ bigger , so guess who's going to get wet ! 🌞🐝🥕🌧️ Lovely video, thank you 💚🌱
I think the weather is fluctuating due to solar activity - sun spots and solar flares and such. That is lovely to have bees living cheek by jowl with you. xx Good luck with the carrots. xx
Love your bosy head! Even though we get the bulk of our veg through a CSA from a local organic farm I still do grow greens year round and extras to freeze like beans, peas and squash and tomatoes of course. We are lucky because we live out in the country and can grow lots of fruit and berries as well. So glad you are inspiring others to garden whatever way they can. This is necessary info for the future - people need to take it serious. So many people have lost touch with where their food comes from. I grew up in rural America and my Grandmother and Mother taught me how to can and preserve food - everyone did it here back then. We had a root cellar too so carrot, winter squash, and other veg could be saved to eat all winter. With the cost of food today and how they have messed with it everyone should grow what they can. Like you said - no excuses! Have a great week.
Whats great shot kitty, kitty chilling in sun😻😴beautiful, I love my garden after nice rain showers thank you for education thats why my carrots won't grow.. I learn so much from you God's blessing 🙏 😊 ❤
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden i have wasted so many seeds planting carrots maybe one or two baby carrots come out very sweet and tasty but probably because they floated up to surface..I work late so this was great timing your video excellent I don't waste anything recycle all my seeds I love it my yard will look like your if I keep going 😊love the connection earth, dirt, food amazing everytime isn't it?
I’ve started sprinkling my carrots seeds on top of the soil, water the soil to get it damp & put a board or weighted down cardboard on the seeds until they germinate. Press the boards firmly against the soil. Check under the boards or cardboard & keep it damp. My little seedlings were probably 1/4” when I took off my boards this year. Don’t expose the little carrots to a lot of sun, though; maybe uncover in the evening or early morning. Hope that helps! I get very good germination this method.
Hi Miranda - it is something to be aware of as we are so used to just accepting a list of ingredients that we don't know anything about. Exciting times here now we have the bees. xx
My heartiest veg this year are the volunteers. Lol. Zucchini and squash seeds from our kitchen scraps were not smothered out when I covered the compost pile with a tarp for a couple of months. Best wishes with the bees! Everything looks lovely there!
Lovely informative video Terri, great advice about growing our own food now that the Precision Breeding Act has been passed and that the EU has approved the use of insects in our food.I grow my own fresh produce, raise chickens and forage. Best to buy local organic food and avoid the supermarkets too.
I have bee’s they are beautiful creatures and so clever ….. I love telling them all about my day 😊 also they help me to relieve and reset my head xxx I quite often sit with them in the warm evenings and watch where they fly from and what nectar they bring in xx
Lovely film, your garden is beautiful and natural, a Paradise for the Dogs, they are adorable by the way. I have been hearing a lot of positive comments about Connemara and Cliffden and my sister and I are planning a visit begining of August. We will visit Kylmore Abbey also as that is a must.I cannot wait. Well thanks again for your films, they are very informative. E Xx
I just love your videos. I'm here in Florida, and even though our landscape is so different, I get so much out of your videos. You are an Irish version of my Florida self 😂 your videographer is fabulous. I love the gorgeous doggies. I have also been entertaining bees. Happy gardening, and know I'm puttering around loving my naturescape I've created .Thank you for continuing to inspire ❤🌻⚘️🌱
So glad we've been guided to you Terry. My wife Neen (Nina) and I so enjoy your life on these videos. We live in the outer Hebrides and have very similar weather and landscape to yours though you don't seem to enjoy the company of midges as much as we do:) We also cut peats for fuel in our stove. Just wanted to say thank you. I now don't stay awake at nights thinking of ways to eradicate horse tail and docks and the many many other wild plants we now live with on our land. We live by several lochs in the middle of moorland and there are so many plants and mosses to investigate. Thanks again.
Such similarities! Apart from the midges - they are bad enough here but I believe you have them far worse!😂 Delighted to hear that you now see medicine as opposed to problems and I am sure you are sleeping better xx
I would think with Ireland, that having seaberries (very healthy fruiting vine-bush) that you would have an entire windbreak and hedge of seaberries around the area, and also use them along the coastline as they are great soil keepers for sand dunes etc.
Terri, you are a sister from another mother! Fellow herbalist and now beekeeper, too...I can't wait to see more videos on your bees. Thank you for sharing! God bless!
Fantastic video! Absolutely love the bee hive ... Also research the use of 'liquified remains" to be used as fertilizer! Thank you for teaching us all! Blessings
So lovely! Your dogs are so loyal and adorable. I am trying to conquer my fear of wasps and hornets in my yard -- enough to spend more time in my rather weedy garden. You are my inspiration! Fingers crossed that I can one day fearlessly sow some seeds.❤
Keeping fingers crossed for you. I know wasps and hornets are a bit scarey but they are really not wanting to hurt you. Think of the good things they do - like pollinating - and remember they just want to get out for food for their kids, just like you. You can do it Lynda. xx
Yes we love to garden and grow our own food. We too were beekeepers for years. Good luck! Half of our seedling are plants for butterflies so we feed them as well.
Thanks David - looking forward to really getting going with the bees. Variation I think brings so many insects to the garden. Lots of butterflies this year xx
Thank you for the lovely vid today. Always look forward to them Sunday mornings as I have my coffee. Just planted 18 different herbs from seeds a few days ago and am awaiting their sprouting in my little greenhouse too. How exciting to start your beekeeping journey! My last experience with the bees ended with disaster after a flyover spraying of a field crop across the hwy from my farm. Found them all on the ground the next morning. End of that for me and them.
Love the bees! So many old customs and superstitions with them! …And hope you consider another trip to a holy well….I love the ancient sites! Thank you Terri!
As always such a pleasure visiting you and your beautiful garden Terri. It is so wonderful that you have bees now, they will love it there! Lots of love ❤
Oh very excited about your bees, what a wonderful addition to your productive garden. I am very interested in learning along side you on this new adventure! I like you lived in London(in the beginning of the 80's) in a small flat but no yard, I was determine to grow some of my own food. I grew alfalfa in jars, also sprouting beans and regularly mustard and cress was on the menu. I then managed to get a small allotment. Now I too have a garden I use for growing a lot our food and find it a great luxury and most thankful every morning to have food, either planted by me or by mother nature to gather, what joy. Yes, a labour of love, tiring sometimes and frustrating but jolly well worth it. I look forward to Sunday watching what you all have been up to.
Good morning Terri and Lol, 7.35AM in Montreal! Nice to wake up with nature and your voice guiding the voyage through your self-sufficient and medicinal garden! Blessings!!! and more blessings!!!! and thank you for what you have just said, about the bones used as fertilizer. Bones, blood even saliva has the genetic code of the being that it has served and be through life. Gregor Mendel, in the 19thC in Austria, did the peas experiments and got the understanding of genetics ever since some scientist decided that they want to innovate on God-Universe-Nature's work....🙄Motivated by our in-human narcissist developments we are affecting our own multi-inter-species genetic codes, our living environments and through energy the rest of the species-beings in the universe...Thanking Mother Earth for everything is giving is essential to rise our vibratory consciousness to create loving and harmonious planetary realities!!! I really like Lol"s music tooo!!!!!! Love and Peace, Mariel. 😀
We have them mainly to give them a home; if there is any honey spare we may take some but will wait and see as we have no intention of using sugar water. We will keep you posted. xx
I had a couple of missed carrots from last year pop up and decided to let them go to seed. It will be my first time gathering carrot seed. There are also some onions with beautiful seed heads. Lovely video, as always!
Just love all your films & Lols music - so inspiring. I moved into a little vacant cottage & very small wild garden in 2021 - have kept a wild patch & have put patio fruit trees in & got some veggies & herbs doing extremely well - so grateful for my little patch. Had bees before - very excited for you. Keep doing all the marvelous work x
Dutch carrots 🥕 🇳🇱👌💫 I was miss carrot ( when I was 10 years) 😂 I grew the biggest carrots in school garden , the 7ths when children in the Netherlands were educated to be self sufficient , and now they teach children how to take a short cut to Mac Donald.
Chch Nz am part of a Community farm in urban environment. Our environment we live in can provide more for the people who pay to live there. Am seeing the Will too, growing. Like all systems, connections are being made everyday.
I always just sprinkle seeds and lightly cover as I think in the wild nothing is planted in rows and most plants thrive. I am guilty of not labeling seeds and not remembering what is what. Especially brassicas. Oh well I find out what they are as they get older. Take care and enjoy your garden, it's deep dreary Winter here in New Zealand so won't be planting for a while.
I agree and have done that too - just sprinkled them around, I'm not mad on straight lines either. Hope you are not too cold, we are nearly at tipping point so you can look forward to the return of the light. xx
I have learned something. Not to sow carrot seeds too deep 🎉 Lol should record his guitar playing if he has not done so already, very uplifting 😊 Those chicken trays (we give our dogs chicken with celery and chopped up carrot) anyway they make good seed trays too ❤
I look forward every Sunday to your video, thank you. The only issues I have is they are not long enough 😉. I could spend hours looking at and immersing myself in your garden. Beautiful.
As always a joy watching your videos, yuk found that information about bones and flour horrendous I'm wishing I was able to grow everything these days like you I settle for doing my very best how wonderful to have gotten a hive sending you ❤ and blessings.
I discovered your channel about a month ago and fell in love! You are so inspiring and educational. I live in an apartment with a small patio and have just started a small garden bed thanks to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
In our county we organized share tables in each town where people can bring extra food grown in gardens and local farms and then people who need food can come and get what they need. Started 3 years ago during covid. We now see people growing extra just to bring to the sharing tables
Isn't that just wonderful! There is something compulsive about giving food and medicine to others when you have grown it yourself. Which country are you in? xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I live in the northeastern US on the coast of Maine. There's a thriving local growers community here and a long history of subsistence economy in fishing lumber and farming. It's not far from Canada. People are kind.
Me too. The beekeeper tells us it is simple - the books make it sound overwhelming. We are lucky that there is a beekeeper association for help and advice. xx
Shall look forward to seeing how your hive thrives,lucky you.Have never thought of sowing carrots in boxes ,thanks for the tip. We had rain overnight our first for nearly a month xx
congratulation to your bees...............and your own seeds wonderfull......in my little garden I have potatos,porree,knoblauch(garlic) and lunaria annua,what plant by itself.......I am very proud about that..................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘xxx
I am also excited about hive and bees in your garden! It is so interesting! Terri, maybe you told somewhere about Linden flowers in your videos? It seems Linden trees are going to bloom soon in Ireland. Thank you for a vital video!
Love the bees, looking forward to knowing more. Love your green roof too. Just about to sow carrots for the first time so glad of your advice. They're pretty when they flower.
Nice to see you sowing seeds. Great to hear a bit of history concerning adulterated food supplies. I've been trying to grow as much of my own food as possible over the last forty years. I seldom buy vegetables or fruit but grains (rice, flour, etc.) I must purchase from a store. Most of my fruit grows not far from my back door (there is an orchard on this property) and I pretty much only have to buy onions and sometimes carrots, everything else grows in my garden. Like you I allow things to go to seed. This year there are carrots (that over wintered in the garden) going to seed and I have a huge amount of volunteer kale (several kinds) and Swiss Chard which went to seed last summer. Good for you to get those bees! I have thought about bees for decades but always only thoughts about an apiary. There are folk here that have bees but those hives must always be protected from bears. Locally honey is available but it is very expensive now (bee mite issues have created that big increase in the cost of the final product). I hope your bees do superbly as having those hard working pollinators are a real blessing. Nice to see you having some pleasant weather. Here spring was so dry but June has been a stormy wet month so far. We've had some severe thunderstorms, one four hour electrical storm starting a forest fire here in the village but thankfully that fire was spotted quickly and local people got out there fast to put it out. We had a lot of rain this month as well, at times hard rain (with those thunder storms). My garden is growing well so far and I have high hopes for most of the things I grow. It does seem, with the early spring (arriving in mid-March this year) that things are a few weeks early but that is okay. I see the deer ranging out front of my cabin quite often and soon their new fawns will show up. I'm seeing wild turkeys picking around my place too. Those hen turkeys are such good mothers, there growing chicks (the first batch - usually here they have two or three batches through the season) looking good and growing fast. Thanks for sharing your world with us here. I hope your summer is excellent. Take care and happy gardening. Cheers!
|I love that phrase - volunteer kale - we have a big patch of it on the one area we designated as a lawn!! No lawn this year because such a big supply of kale I have no need to sow any. Of course - bears!!! Something we don't have to worry about, we are lucky we don't have any issues like that to deal with. The odd hare running about or badger and they haven't done any damage here. There are rabbit warrens on local beaches but too far for them to come here. We have had a very dry summer so far although rain is moving in now and other parts of the country have had electrical storms. I think it is the sun activity - lots of explosions there that affect EMFs and such. Blessings on your garden and mine and hope they both do well xx
Hello there Terri, hello creatures too.oh things are looking bright and fresh. Hmmm!.sadly last year i had sewn 2 big tubs of carrot seeds, they sprouted out nice buut nearly and inch in hight they then didnt survive. I didnt start again, i think nos i should have another go,.lovely to see in your greenhouse,.well goodness me, the bee's ,,how delightful, they do look very happy im sure they will love very much to be living in your garden,what a huge exiting addition for you..been out for lunch with one of my sons and his partner today,celebrating his birthday. I have come back home to a fes drops of rain, the gardens here need it though,,sending thankyou, s and love,and enjoy settling in your bee,s.oh Terri, stick hasn't arrived yet,expect its because of a long way to travel 😊. Just incase you wondered about it,,take care bye for now 😊
Dear Hetty, I am so sorry about the delay with the stick. I haven't forgotten, just have been trying to think how to post it and label it. Any ideas? xx
So happy about bees joining your lovely garden♡ I don't have a hive at the moment, but when I did , I used a shallow, metal pan for the bee watering spot, and filled it with my collection of old, glass marbles so they would have a place to drink from and not drown. It looks quite nice as well.♡
Hello there Terri, thanks so much for replying, oh thats very okay, I haven't told my grandson about stick ,so its fine ,I shall ask my daughter, they are better at working things out more than a n me about posting s,😊im hope ing you are well and you're family, pets as nd fadden girls too.oh I mustn't forget all your plants and tree s,creatures ecct,xxbye for now, looking forward to next film 😀 😊. Take good care. Happy Sunday, xx
Very interesting video. I will check ingredients and producers of our flour in Canada. I did learn that they put bone meal in some processed sugar. Thanks!
Enjoying my Sunday morning show! Pre-Covid I had bees on the rooftop of a 3 unit building in San Francisco. In 2021 I moved and gave away my bees. This year I am settled enough to get bees again! They are amazing I just enjoy them!

So brave!
MY WIFE AND I, LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS WHILE, WE EAT OUR BREAKFAST EVERY SUNDAY. AN AWESOME WAY TO WAKE UP, THANK YOU !!
Our pleasure! Lovely to picture you on a peaceful Sunday morning. xx
So excited to hear about your new bees! Congratulations! I know they'll be very happy in your magic garden.

Lovely informative video Terri, great advice about growing our own food now that the Precision Breeding Act has been passed and that the EU has approved the use of insects in our food.I grow my own fresh produce, raise chickens and forage.
Best to buy local organic food and avoid the supermarkets too.
It is quite horrific to think about it so best thing is to grow as much as possible. You are right about the supermarket too. xx

I am planning to do just that. I can't wait for that little ritual in the day. xx
I did the same thing with the overwintered carrots, they are just starting to flower now. It feels so good to save seed!
It does - there is a lovely sense of completion of the cycle about it. xx
Beautiful and informative as per usual. Thank you. 🌾 Terri your hair is absolutely stunning.

I am thrilled you have a hive😃! Happy new Bee's🌻💞🥳
Thanks Moira - we are too. xx Will keep you posted xx
I just love your videos. I'm here in Florida, and even though our landscape is so different, I get so much out of your videos. You are an Irish version of my Florida self 😂 your videographer is fabulous. I love the gorgeous doggies. I have also been entertaining bees. Happy gardening, and know I'm puttering around loving my naturescape I've created .Thank you for continuing to inspire ❤🌻⚘️🌱
Happy gardening to you too. It is wonderful to read all the comments and discover that so many people are putting their hearts into the land. xx
Hiya Terri a great wee visit with you and yours. Exciting Bees! Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦
Hey Beverley, how are you? Yes, very exciting and looking forward to getting started xx
So glad we've been guided to you Terry. My wife Neen (Nina) and I so enjoy your life on these videos. We live in the outer Hebrides and have very similar weather and landscape to yours though you don't seem to enjoy the company of midges as much as we do:) We also cut peats for fuel in our stove. Just wanted to say thank you. I now don't stay awake at nights thinking of ways to eradicate horse tail and docks and the many many other wild plants we now live with on our land. We live by several lochs in the middle of moorland and there are so many plants and mosses to investigate. Thanks again.
Such similarities! Apart from the midges - they are bad enough here but I believe you have them far worse!😂 Delighted to hear that you now see medicine as opposed to problems and I am sure you are sleeping better xx
So relaxing to spend a little time with you at your very-much-alive homestead. ❤ And inspiring. Thank you.
You are so welcome and so glad you feel inspired xx
Thank you for another lovely video, yeay bees 🐝 😀
Glad you enjoyed it xx
I would think with Ireland, that having seaberries (very healthy fruiting vine-bush) that you would have an entire windbreak and hedge of seaberries around the area, and also use them along the coastline as they are great soil keepers for sand dunes etc.
Great video very relaxing Thank you 🙏
You are very welcome! xx
Terri, you are a sister from another mother! Fellow herbalist and now beekeeper, too...I can't wait to see more videos on your bees. Thank you for sharing! God bless!
That's great Lisa - please share any tips you have xx Blessings to you too xx
Good Morning from 🇨🇦. Thank you for sharing your ideas and lovely garden. 🪴
You are so welcome! Glad to hear from you Kathryn xx
Thank you again for this new video, medicine for heart and soul ❤❤❤
Fantastic video! Absolutely love the bee hive ... Also research the use of 'liquified remains" to be used as fertilizer!
Thank you for teaching us all! Blessings
Blessings to you too - I have heard of liquified remains for fertiliser - it would depend on how it is done I think xx
So lovely! Your dogs are so loyal and adorable. I am trying to conquer my fear of wasps and hornets in my yard -- enough to spend more time in my rather weedy garden. You are my inspiration! Fingers crossed that I can one day fearlessly sow some seeds.❤
Keeping fingers crossed for you. I know wasps and hornets are a bit scarey but they are really not wanting to hurt you. Think of the good things they do - like pollinating - and remember they just want to get out for food for their kids, just like you. You can do it Lynda. xx
How wonderful Terri..a bee hive❤️ Great video , very useful info. Have a great week
Thanks Susanna - you too - may the sun shine xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden ❤️❤️
Yes we love to garden and grow our own food. We too were beekeepers for years. Good luck! Half of our seedling are plants for butterflies so we feed them as well.
Thanks David - looking forward to really getting going with the bees. Variation I think brings so many insects to the garden. Lots of butterflies this year xx
Thank you for the lovely vid today. Always look forward to them Sunday mornings as I have my coffee. Just planted 18 different herbs from seeds a few days ago and am awaiting their sprouting in my little greenhouse too. How exciting to start your beekeeping journey! My last experience with the bees ended with disaster after a flyover spraying of a field crop across the hwy from my farm. Found them all on the ground the next morning. End of that for me and them.
That was a tragedy!!! How terrible and upsetting for you. Sorry to hear that. May your seeds grow well and nourish you xx
Beautiful shot video, with some great information. loving the new addition to your family, Bees.
We are too Brian - we are off to a beekeepers meeting next Sunday so will then be able to go and look in the hive. xx
I really enjoy watching your videos they are very informative. your garden is so beautiful ❤️❤️💮🌱🦋🥒
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying them xx
And she’s off >>>>> congrats on the bees ❤🐝
Thanks Cari xx
Thanks Terri lovely guitar enjoy the week Love to you xxx
Will do Suez! Love to you too and will tell Lol you enjoyed the guitar xx
Love the bees! So many old customs and superstitions with them! …And hope you consider another trip to a holy well….I love the ancient sites! Thank you Terri!
You re right Margo and I am looking forward to doing lots of research about the customs and superstitions. xx
Perfect garden for your bees 🐝
Thanks Lol for the interlude half way through very relaxing. Bees, cant wait to see how you get along, hope the dogs give them a wide berth too.
Apparently the bees are very calm and easy going. WE have left them alone to settle in and will meet with other beekeepers next Sunday. xx
Your garden looks so lovely
Thanks so much. I think so too xx
For the bee's bowl or pale of water with grass in it so they can get in and out from water . Thank you .
Glass marbles in a shallow dish makes good landing and drinking for bees
Thanks Shawna - we have lots of little bowls and water holders dotted close by and we have a pond too although it is quite low at the moment xx
As always such a pleasure visiting you and your beautiful garden Terri. It is so wonderful that you have bees now, they will love it there! Lots of love ❤
❤ I do the same thing but i get laughed at oh well if they don't want to enjoy the bountiful of the harvest
Who cares if people laugh - more for you to enjoy xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden yes indeed 🥰
Oh very excited about your bees, what a wonderful addition to your productive garden. I am very interested in learning along side you on this new adventure! I like you lived in London(in the beginning of the 80's) in a small flat but no yard, I was determine to grow some of my own food. I grew alfalfa in jars, also sprouting beans and regularly mustard and cress was on the menu. I then managed to get a small allotment. Now I too have a garden I use for growing a lot our food and find it a great luxury and most thankful every morning to have food, either planted by me or by mother nature to gather, what joy. Yes, a labour of love, tiring sometimes and frustrating but jolly well worth it. I look forward to Sunday watching what you all have been up to.
A true labour of love, you're right, and definitely worth it xx
How exciting about the new hive, they too, are going to love you...🐝
Keeping fingers crossed that they do love it here. xx
Congratulations with new hive! 🙏❤️ 🐝🐝🐝
Thank you Leslie - we will keep you posted. xx
Good morning Terri and Lol, 7.35AM in Montreal! Nice to wake up with nature and your voice guiding the voyage through your self-sufficient and medicinal garden! Blessings!!! and more blessings!!!! and thank you for what you have just said, about the bones used as fertilizer. Bones, blood even saliva has the genetic code of the being that it has served and be through life. Gregor Mendel, in the 19thC in Austria, did the peas experiments and got the understanding of genetics ever since some scientist decided that they want to innovate on God-Universe-Nature's work....🙄Motivated by our in-human narcissist developments we are affecting our own multi-inter-species genetic codes, our living environments and through energy the rest of the species-beings in the universe...Thanking Mother Earth for everything is giving is essential to rise our vibratory consciousness to create loving and harmonious planetary realities!!! I really like Lol"s music tooo!!!!!! Love and Peace, Mariel. 😀
Much love to you Mariel - you are right about that - giving thanks to Mother Earth is an imperative at this time I think xx Have a great week!
Exciting to see you got some bees! They look happy in their new home!
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
I think they are! We are very excited. Looking forward to really getting started. xx
Congratulations on your bee family. Can’t wait to see how you use the benefits 💕🐝🐝🐝
We have them mainly to give them a home; if there is any honey spare we may take some but will wait and see as we have no intention of using sugar water. We will keep you posted. xx
I had a couple of missed carrots from last year pop up and decided to let them go to seed. It will be my first time gathering carrot seed. There are also some onions with beautiful seed heads. Lovely video, as always!
I have some onions too - exciting times xx
Just love all your films & Lols music - so inspiring. I moved into a little vacant cottage & very small wild garden in 2021 - have kept a wild patch & have put patio fruit trees in & got some veggies & herbs doing extremely well - so grateful for my little patch. Had bees before - very excited for you. Keep doing all the marvelous work x
Sounds perfect. Blessings on the work. Looking forward to working with our bees xx
Good morning 6:10 am Sunday June 18th. I was at one time a bee keeper years ago. Very enjoyable business. Good luck with them!!😊
Thanks Paul, just wanting to look after them and enjoy them xx
Great vid! See you next week!
Thanks lm - see you then xx
Dutch carrots 🥕 🇳🇱👌💫 I was miss carrot ( when I was 10 years) 😂 I grew the biggest carrots in school garden , the 7ths when children in the Netherlands were educated to be self sufficient , and now they teach children how to take a short cut to Mac Donald.
I agree - how things have changed. So sad. Congrats on being Miss Carrot😂 So many will never get the chance today xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden 😂🥕
Love your show❤️ keeping me inspired! Time to start planning the fall garden 🌻
So glad to hear that. You are right, I'm on it. xx
Chch Nz am part of a Community farm in urban environment. Our environment we live in can provide more for the people who pay to live there. Am seeing the Will too, growing. Like all systems, connections are being made everyday.
Yes, it is wonderful! xx
I always just sprinkle seeds and lightly cover as I think in the wild nothing is planted in rows and most plants thrive. I am guilty of not labeling seeds and not remembering what is what. Especially brassicas. Oh well I find out what they are as they get older. Take care and enjoy your garden, it's deep dreary Winter here in New Zealand so won't be planting for a while.
I agree and have done that too - just sprinkled them around, I'm not mad on straight lines either. Hope you are not too cold, we are nearly at tipping point so you can look forward to the return of the light. xx
Hi again, I love your tree tatoo!!! Thank you very much!!!
Glad you like it - my husband designed it xx
I have learned something. Not to sow carrot seeds too deep 🎉 Lol should record his guitar playing if he has not done so already, very uplifting 😊 Those chicken trays (we give our dogs chicken with celery and chopped up carrot) anyway they make good seed trays too ❤
Thanks so much Donna - I will tell Lol what you say as he has been procrastinating for the last couple of years xx
I look forward every Sunday to your video, thank you. The only issues I have is they are not long enough 😉. I could spend hours looking at and immersing myself in your garden. Beautiful.
You are so kind - thank you! I think if they were any longer they would get hit with ads as I don't have any control over that. Have a great week xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden you also, thank you!!! 🌻
🙏🏼
As always a joy watching your videos, yuk found that information about bones and flour horrendous I'm wishing I was able to grow everything these days like you I settle for doing my very best how wonderful to have gotten a hive sending you ❤ and blessings.
Blessings to you too Linda. WE are very fortunate to have a hive now and are looking forward to getting to grips with it. xx
I discovered your channel about a month ago and fell in love! You are so inspiring and educational. I live in an apartment with a small patio and have just started a small garden bed thanks to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Oh my God - that is so wonderful. Good for you and many blessings to your garden bed xx
I look forward to your films every Sunday. So excited about the bees! Blessings xx
Blessings to you too Jamie xx we re excited too.
In our county we organized share tables in each town where people can bring extra food grown in gardens and local farms and then people who need food can come and get what they need. Started 3 years ago during covid. We now see people growing extra just to bring to the sharing tables
Isn't that just wonderful! There is something compulsive about giving food and medicine to others when you have grown it yourself. Which country are you in? xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I live in the northeastern US on the coast of Maine. There's a thriving local growers community here and a long history of subsistence economy in fishing lumber and farming. It's not far from Canada. People are kind.
Oh, I love that you now have bees. I’m looking forward to following their story.
Me too. The beekeeper tells us it is simple - the books make it sound overwhelming. We are lucky that there is a beekeeper association for help and advice. xx
Shall look forward to seeing how your hive thrives,lucky you.Have never thought of sowing carrots in boxes ,thanks for the tip. We had rain overnight our first for nearly a month xx
Same here - we had rain a couple of nights ago, more promised this weekend. Enjoy your week Mary xx
congratulation to your bees...............and your own seeds wonderfull......in my little garden I have potatos,porree,knoblauch(garlic) and lunaria annua,what plant by itself.......I am very proud about that..................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘xxx
Thanks Daggy! I love Lunaria - the plants have scattered themselves all over the place and are so beautiful in every season. xx
I am also excited about hive and bees in your garden! It is so interesting! Terri, maybe you told somewhere about Linden flowers in your videos? It seems Linden trees are going to bloom soon in Ireland. Thank you for a vital video!
I did mention Lime Tree recently. I have planted one to see how it gets on and so far it is growing well . Thanks for watching xx
So excited for you getting your first hive, Terri...lucky, lucky bees !
We are very excited too. Will let you know xxx
I loved today's program terry,so very inspiring. I look forward to seeing how the bees settle in. Blessings on this New Moon. Xx
Solstice Blessings Bernadette. How are you? Hope all is well xx
Beautiful 🌼🌼🌼 Thank you Terri 🌼🌼🌼 Many blessings to you and so happy for you for the bees! 🐝🐝🐝
Thank you so much Abby. We are really looking forward to this new venture xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden You’re welcome Terri! I am always so filled with joy when I see the bees 🐝 in my gardens. They are such a blessing!
I'm so excited for you about the bees. They are in bee Heaven! I was in the bee-keeping club at school. Have always wanted my own.
Wow - you have triggered memories of the bees at my school! Mr Tompkins had them up on the roof. I think they are very happy here so far xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I remember us all clambering up onto the school roof because the bees had swarmed into a chimney! xxx
Love the bees, looking forward to knowing more. Love your green roof too. Just about to sow carrots for the first time so glad of your advice. They're pretty when they flower.
Good luck with the carrots. The flowers are beautiful xx
💙 Lovely film this week. Yes, layer sowing over the year. Saving some of the new seeds for next year, or so, too.
Lovely. 💙
So important to save at least a few seeds - glad to hear you are doing it too. xx
Nice to see you sowing seeds. Great to hear a bit of history concerning adulterated food supplies. I've been trying to grow as much of my own food as possible over the last forty years. I seldom buy vegetables or fruit but grains (rice, flour, etc.) I must purchase from a store. Most of my fruit grows not far from my back door (there is an orchard on this property) and I pretty much only have to buy onions and sometimes carrots, everything else grows in my garden. Like you I allow things to go to seed. This year there are carrots (that over wintered in the garden) going to seed and I have a huge amount of volunteer kale (several kinds) and Swiss Chard which went to seed last summer. Good for you to get those bees! I have thought about bees for decades but always only thoughts about an apiary. There are folk here that have bees but those hives must always be protected from bears. Locally honey is available but it is very expensive now (bee mite issues have created that big increase in the cost of the final product). I hope your bees do superbly as having those hard working pollinators are a real blessing. Nice to see you having some pleasant weather. Here spring was so dry but June has been a stormy wet month so far. We've had some severe thunderstorms, one four hour electrical storm starting a forest fire here in the village but thankfully that fire was spotted quickly and local people got out there fast to put it out. We had a lot of rain this month as well, at times hard rain (with those thunder storms). My garden is growing well so far and I have high hopes for most of the things I grow. It does seem, with the early spring (arriving in mid-March this year) that things are a few weeks early but that is okay. I see the deer ranging out front of my cabin quite often and soon their new fawns will show up. I'm seeing wild turkeys picking around my place too. Those hen turkeys are such good mothers, there growing chicks (the first batch - usually here they have two or three batches through the season) looking good and growing fast. Thanks for sharing your world with us here. I hope your summer is excellent. Take care and happy gardening. Cheers!
|I love that phrase - volunteer kale - we have a big patch of it on the one area we designated as a lawn!! No lawn this year because such a big supply of kale I have no need to sow any. Of course - bears!!! Something we don't have to worry about, we are lucky we don't have any issues like that to deal with. The odd hare running about or badger and they haven't done any damage here. There are rabbit warrens on local beaches but too far for them to come here. We have had a very dry summer so far although rain is moving in now and other parts of the country have had electrical storms. I think it is the sun activity - lots of explosions there that affect EMFs and such. Blessings on your garden and mine and hope they both do well xx
Lovely video, thanks 🙂🙌🏼
You are very welcome xx
Hello there Terri, hello creatures too.oh things are looking bright and fresh. Hmmm!.sadly last year i had sewn 2 big tubs of carrot seeds, they sprouted out nice buut nearly and inch in hight they then didnt survive.

I have come back home to a fes drops of rain, the gardens here need it though,,sending thankyou, s and love,and enjoy settling in your bee,s.oh Terri, stick hasn't arrived yet,expect its because of a long way to travel 😊. Just incase you wondered about it,,take care bye for now 😊
Dear Hetty, I am so sorry about the delay with the stick. I haven't forgotten, just have been trying to think how to post it and label it. Any ideas? xx
So happy about bees joining your lovely garden♡ I don't have a hive at the moment, but when I did , I used a shallow, metal pan for the bee watering spot, and filled it with my collection of old, glass marbles so they would have a place to drink from and not drown. It looks quite nice as well.♡
That does sound nice - with the marbles in it. We have put water in containers but will get some marbles too xx
Hello there Terri, thanks so much for replying, oh thats very okay, I haven't told my grandson about stick ,so its fine ,I shall ask my daughter, they are better at working things out more than a n me about posting s,😊im hope ing you are well and you're family, pets as nd fadden girls too.oh I mustn't forget all your plants and tree s,creatures ecct,xxbye for now, looking forward to next film 😀 😊. Take good care. Happy Sunday, xx
Happy Days Hetty ! xxx We will think of something! xx
Very interesting video. I will check ingredients and producers of our flour in Canada. I did learn that they put bone meal in some processed sugar. Thanks!
I am not saying that happens now - it was common in the 19th century. Additives today are more harmful I think xx
