    The story of John planting the acorn was delightful. To see trees grow to a good size from seed is a once in a lifetime privilege .🌳🌲🌿🍂🍁

    I needed this little stroll through your garden today. What a successful planting you and John have done. It comes to mind the saying, “A society grows great when old men (or women) plant trees, under whose shade they know they may never sit.” You are such a gem, dear Kate! ❤🌳❤️

    I heard a quick comment about planting for the future generation. How lovely to develop your land, not only for your own pleasure in mind, but also that of your family members. I've been noticing that here in Canada that families whose culture tends to keep families together are happier. You seem to have created a family that understands and accepts their responsibility to help you. At the same time, you're an easy, happy person to be around!! I loved the tour.

    My nephew planted a pine tree in my mom’s yard, and decades later she wouldn’t trim it even when it was blocking everything-it represented her love for her 30+ yo first grandchild. I can so understand that steady love, embodied in John’s oak.

    I am a bit like you, Kate, in that I love a wild, bushy kind of garden, in that it attracts all kinds of wildlife and little creatures. What a variety of trees you have planted. I never realized that your garden was so large. Your life is full of 'bits and bobs' Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

    Lovely! When I'm out riding, it is so special to go through an archway of trees. You are a good steward of your land. I try to do the same here, getting trees from the Dept. of Environmental Conservation. When I walk among my white pines, they are 29 years old now, grown up and providing me with pine needle mulch, a wind break, and beauty, I remember planting them when a bundle of 25 tiny saplings fit in my hands. I'm making some pine sap cough drops in a few days, so they are also providing me with a natural medicine.

    ❤ My house in California was part of a property developed as a farm in the 1840’s, owned by a woman named Isabella. My house is from 1940. It’s along the river. I have elder, oak, lemon, orange, almond, black walnut, olive, loquat, the plum died during the last drought, and mulberry. It all just does its thing. …the grape too it’s so old it’s more like trees than vines. 🌈🌈🦋🦋

    Kate I love your home and garden. I would love a cabin you have for my sewing and other crafts. But my family I don’t think I would have to have someone walk with me. I have had a lot of falls ,but I think it would make me much better. So I get joy from your home. Thank you so much. Have a safe and blessed day.

I absolutely love trees; they fascinate me with all the different colors and shapes. I look forward to seeing their progress. Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us on the lime green sofa.

    TREES! Ahh, love trees! What a great example for us all - Plant Trees!!!
    Please take us along when you & Ant get to pruning your hedgerows, willow & trees. I love pruning & you two are always fun to watch. I'll bet you will have some great projects with your willow. Great chop & drop or composting material for your soil.

    Awww, this was lovely! I loved the bit at the end where we got to see how the green/living roof is doing on the cottage! One thing I was thinking Kate - you're so lucky to have all this knowledge about plants and trees and I'm sure it's something you don't think twice about. I didn't grow up with a garden, it was just my mum and I, so we lived in small flats or with my Granny, so I never learned those skills - which I realise now, just how much I wish I had that head-full of knowledge that you do! So, thank you for sharing, it means a lot to me. xx

I see apple pies, apple crisp, apple jelly and maybe some apple butter too in the future. Your house will smell heavenly on the crispy days. You and your son put a lot of work and love into the planting. 🌳🍎🍏🥧

    Kate I love your gardens . It’s always so beautiful and the breeze is always blowing. I know you always do your research before all your projects and you probably already know this about honeysuckle. It is very prevalent here in the south in the USA. Grows wild and in abundance. It is VERY evasive and over time left unattended will choke out any living greenery it can wrap around. It does smell lovely, and as children we all would pick the blooms and suck the nectar out. Very sweet! But like I said extremely evasive. 😊 Ty for sharing your life with us.

    • @robinlyon-mccarthy7709
      @robinlyon-mccarthy7709 3 місяці тому +1

      That is because honeysuckle was imported from Asia. Our native honeysuckle is not invasive. (I am trying to remove all of the invasives off our place, so I researched and England has a native honeysuckle. It also stated that only the shrub ones tend to be a problem there, not the vining ones.) I am so glad you mentioned this issue so people tempted to run out and plant some are aware of the invasive issues.

    Well Kate, when i started to watch this video i was at 117 likes, and now at the end of it you have gone up to 213 liikes, that is super fast take up of people. You have a big, big garden and it is just as well you like gardening because the size it is, it would be a wasted opportunity to help the life out that helps you, field mice in all. I don't think my 2 sticks would get me around it , but having had a mum who was dedicated to a real gardena, wildlife and all, i can see the why you do it. Thank you for exploration around the wildes of the top of England. Crafty hugs from Norah, over the border up in Central Scotland
