Aw thank you Tanya I’m so glad!!❤️ I just filmed a little tour yesterday of some of my toughest plants, which will be heading out next week, I hope you like it! ☺️☺️
I loved the realness of this video, thanks for sharing it. I think my question is I'm in the north UK, totally different climate, the ground is hard. What could I be doing now?
Thanks Susan! 🥰 ahh we are gardening on other sides of the planet - so cool! So I am guessing your soil would have a lot more clay than mine, a great gardener to look into is Charles Dowding - such a lovely guy and he gardens in the UK too. He has a YouTube channel that is really worth a look as a lot of his advice is around ‘no dig’ gardening - basically adding a lot of organic material to your garden and avoiding turning the soil as much as possible. So for a start I’d make a hot cuppa and watch some of his videos hehe ☺️ winter is also a great time to plan any landscaping changes you might like to make and to think about any trees or perennial shrubs you might like to add for spring. Depending on your climate you miiight be able to add some spring bulbs to your garden (we usually add them in autumn over here so I’m not sure if winter might be a little late for you). Another gardener to look into for inspiration is the landscape designer Piet Oudolf, who grows gorgeous gardens that celebrate the death of plants in winter - he leaves a lot of them in the ground over winter and they look amazing. So maybe you could start looking into improving your soil for spring and into any garden design changes you might like to make and plants you might like to add as the ground thaws ☺️ hope that helps! And thanks so much for reading (and watching!) xx
There is a really lovely documentary on Piet you might like - such gorgeous gardens he creates! I'm not sure where it's available to stream but you might be able to find out on their website: https://fiveseasonsmovie.com :D
Absolutely love this video. Thanks for sharing Casey. I look forward to others coming throughout the year 🙏🏻

Love this!! 😍
I think we all really look like this when we are in the garden. I normally have dirt stuck to my sunscreen. It's always a great look. 😂
The garden nook looks great nice and cool for summer drink.
Hehe yes the dirt and sunscreen always makes me look more tanned, until I have a shower haha
So looking forward to a shady drink in the new zone! 😁😁

Ah thank you. I have one of Charles Dowdings books actually, but hadn't heard of Piet. And yes, lots of clay here!
