Love your 'Christmas tree'. I bought one in a supermarket about 6 years ago. About 1ft high and losing many of its needles. They were selling it for £1and I felt so sorry for it I bought and took it home. Gave it a good drink, put a few decorations on it and it only stayed indoors for a couple of days over Christmas and I then repotted it and put outside not really expecting it to survive. It did, has since been repotted again and now stands nearly 6 feet high with beautiful glossy foliage and lots of little pine cones x

It's so encouraging to see your gardens. We received another 10 inches of snow in the past few days, so once again, I won't be able to plant anything until May when everything has melted, defrosted, drained off and the soil has warmed up. Thank you for the container tour. It fills my heart with joy to see the flowers blooming, providing food for the insects. Blessings to you dear one and Patsy too!

2:19 a cute little critter emerges from its hiding place! on the ground to the right of the potted plant! I love seeing wildlife using the garden...

Everything looks lush and healthy: very inviting. I bet small beings are dancing around there often, it feels very energised 😊

Looking at your garden brought instant tears to my eyes…..such beauty brings joy and delight to my soul.

Dear Colette. Thank you for another wonderful visit. You are often the best part of my day! xxoo

I can never ever get over how beautiful your land is. I always leave your videos tears filled joy and amazement.

😂😂I love your laughter...it's so nice...especially when you said that when the plants are becoming potbound, when they go a bit mad,it's time to release them in the wild...😂 I can relate to that...I feel a bit pot bound myself sometimes...😊thank you fod for this beautiful shared moment❤❤

Thank you for the Sunday morning "coffee chat". I always look forward to your post. You are greatly appreciated by me.

Your garden is always so lush Collette! And full of birdsong

I always enjoy seeing every plant on your property

Cute lil mouse around the base of your plant at 2:19

Love the little mouse hopping by a couple of minutes into this video😍

Lovely. Funny cos I am doing opposite here getting rid of pots cos I can't bear the stress of finding water in a heatwave, I still have a few but all the messin with the weather IYKYK means it's pretty certain there will be a ridiculous heatwave in the summer so I am tryin to get ahead on this one, this is why I keep my eyes open. Tons of water I could store now if I wanted but it's just easier if I stick to woodland im thinking, and growing more lavender and heat loving stuff, play em at their own game I say . Finger on the nose. Lol. People in the comms must think im mad, but I know you get it Collette . Lol.

Delightful! I certainly use pots. In fact, I'm addicted to those cobalt blue ones (and watch for them on sale). I love a rustic-looking garden and use old watering cans, buckets - even a half old whisky barrel - for potting. Such fun. 👍😎🇨🇦🕊💫🙏🌱🌸🌿🌻

Lovely as always. Thank you for the encouragement through watching your videos to create a garden and be out in nature. We need more people like yourself in this world.

Beautiful garden Collette and very inspiring and energising to watch. Thank you 😊

Thank you Colette, as I have been a container gardener my entire life. Really enjoy your channel and the gifts you & Miss Patsy so willingly share!❤

The potted plants are all looking so lush and lovely. Thank you for the tour! I am loving all the videos you've been uploading recently. The internet must be pretty fast after the install. :-) Blessings to you and Patsy.

Always a delight to listen to the wealth of knowledge the Bealtaine Cottage offers❤ Much love, Colette 💕

Relieved it’s not just me with skulls in the garden! I find them on country walks, mainly badger and hare, I think. Really appreciate this video Colette, having recently gravelled an area for container gardening, you’ve given me some good ideas. Happy Sunday to you and all 💚 xx

So true! Container gardens are nice.I had a Pieris in a pot for a few years.Then when it got too big I planted it in the garden, but it started to die. So I put it back in the pot and it was happy again. Some plants just do better in pots! Yours are so pretty!

Seeing all the plants in your Garden, thriving in the pots, fills me with Joy. Your Garden has really started it's growing season and makes me also long for taking care of my Spring Garden. Spring is slowly starting here and I can do some planting outside as of now... And I have started some pruning of my fruit trees. But it is still cold outside so here we have to wait some weeks before the Spring temperature start to rise. Thank you for the video today! It made me rally happy! 🌱🤗💖🇸🇪🌱

Your container garden is gorgeous and full of life! It was really interesting for me to see it because two thirds of my own little garden is in pots, tubs, and tyres, in fact in any container I can get my hands on. Sadly it's all on concrete, though, so the pots have no real connection with the earth, unlike yours. Thank you for sharing it and for inspiring me!

I so enjoy your walk around and talks about the plants. Always a nugget of knowledge from you. I think I will go to the garden center today for a suprise . I will buy one thing or two😊 that calls my name.😊 you and patsy have a blessed sunday❤

Oh Colette you are after giving me a fit of the giggles 😂😂. As you moved the camera down to the churn😂😂😂😂😂 And bottomless. Sure is a great hack. It gave me an instant idea.. Very educational video. Blessings ❤ to you and Patsy XXXX

I could wonder in your garden for hours. Thank u

Thanks so much for the lovely video, it’s great that potted gardening is becoming more popular again, it’s great to hear your experience ❤

I agree with you on potted plants, Collette. I live in a very warm and humid climate and our ground is like beach sand. We also have fire ants and other other insects that devour everything we plant. I have much better luck planting above the ground. Beautiful video !

Oh, was that a little mouse at about 2:25? Just beside the bush in a "milk-pot"?jj

Looking so gorgeous and lush! What a beautiful sanctuary. I need to use potted plants at my apt to grow things. You sound in such better spirits today Colette!!! Prayers and blessings!

Hi Colette ,Everything flourishes so well at Bealtaine! So wonderful to see Mother nature at her best! I love the dears skull in the pot, looks like it truly belongs there. Many blessings to you and dear little Patsy ❤❤

This was so helpful I’ve learned so much from you over the years.

I do a lot of container gardening, in fact I’ve lost count how many I’ve got and there’s always room for more! 😉😉

blessed be Colette and patsy ..your place is lovely ...much love and respect ..have a grand day cheers

Colette 💚 I love how pretty the container look . I use them all trough my gardens flower beds I move them different times of the year to add color or pop in areas that are thining. I use any thing I can find bucks basket that are given to me or from the thrift stores.

Thanks for this practical garden wisdom!

There was a little mouse 🐭 running around when you talked about the shrub in the bottomless milk pot. That was so cute 🌝

So many pretty plants ; I am going too try container gardens this year . I have several pots lined up, just not sure what to put into them . I am learning towards herbs . May some flowering plants too . Most of my plants budged out early , bloomed ; came a hard freeze and they will be stunted all year .a good start to my day. Thank you for sharing your garden and life with me . I have been blessed to live to be 77 but have had to stop a lot of gardening, you give me wonderful ideas . Thank you so much .❤

Thanks for that Colette, I really enjoyed it 🥰

I love when you introduce your plant family to us... and we get to visit all the spots in the garden they are inhabiting... I am curious what is the pink flowering branchy one that is in the ground near your tea house near the pieris that you put in the ground?

My goodness, I’ve never seen such healthy Aquilegia ❤- stunning Colette, I’m going to get more lemon balm and put in pots, thank you for this tour if your container gardening

You have given me so many ideas for this year. I rent a house in NC, with about an acre. For the past 3 years I have been dabbling and improving the previously sad soil. I am always impressed with your containers and statuary. I can't wait to employ some of your suggestions.

Hello Colette thank you for the meander around your pots, I love to see the beginning of new growth and welcome each one that comes out of hibernation in my front garden I have three beds and 40 container pots all sizes and everything sits on concrete the original tenants used the front of house as a driveway , not having a car and digging up all the concrete and paving slabs was out of the question, I made a garden the beds are less than a foot deep, they are home to various shrubs and wild flowers honeysuckle palms, easy to maintain all year round bird activity. Front of house in the afternoon sunshine and a pot of tea a book, the sounds of nature not a very busy street so it's usually peaceful . Keep doing what you do Colette, it's always a treat to view your home and gardens. Hugs and Blessings.💚🌹

❤ Thanks Collette for sharing your time and your delightful potted garden ❤ This is a very nice visit to your beautiful garden and your continued support for all of us in encouraging us to make new garden adventures with containers and plants that are so incredibly beautiful and wonderful for the betterment of our lives with enthusiasm and creativity ❤

Thank you for another useful video with so many lovely growing things. Always watching and enjoying.

Oh how your video has encouraged my soul! ❤ I wonder what growing zone your cottage is in? I believe my pots would crack in the cold winter. Yours seem to do just fine…

So helpful, thank you. I was going to put a tiny forsythia into the ground, but after watching your video (I love your videos and you also introduced me to Danu's Irish Garden who I ended up taking a class from! Thank you) I will keep the forsythia in a pot longer.

Dear Colette! Thank you for sharing your experiences! It inspires me and gives me a lot of new ideas❤ Hugs from Austria

Thank you for sharing with us your beautiful garden 🪴 It was quite enjoyable 😊❤

Love the use of tires - it has encouraged me to try it, thank you!

Such a helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

We grow our potatoes here in Ohio in old tires. They do absolutely fantastic! However I know its controversial with some. But we've researched and are ok with it.

I LOVE your garden!

Another of babies in containers so sweet love mine 💕 😍 your garden looks beautiful 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you, Colette, inspirational and gorgeous, as always!

Such a creative and beautiful garden. I really enjoyed this video, very informative as a novice gardener, thank you ❤

Hi Colette, you bring such joy to many sharing your beautiful garden and what could be better than to spend a Sunday afternoon having a stroll around your lush garden with you . ❤ I often wonder though is it your green fingers that provides you with so many lovely plants ....... or perhaps the luck of the Irish 😂😂😂 I have recently found that my local tip has a small shop and I have been lucky enough to get some wonderful garden pots for only a few pounds. Now you have given more ideas for pots and planting I just need a bigger garden lol 😆 thanks Colette xxx

Gorgeous gardens! Great to have lots of different options for growing. Blessings to you Colette

Your container plants are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your tips! I love growing in containers too! 🌿🌿🌸🌸💕

Beautiful Colette. Thank you for sharing. 💚

Beautiful! I have a lot of potted plants intertwined in my garden, as well. I’ve always loved the look plus you can move them around your garden.❤

Container garden is looking fantastic. Great idea. 😊xx

so pretty. But it raised lots of questions for me. Especially, what about watering. Do you have to water daily in the summer? My climate is very hot and dry in the summer months. I think I would have to water daily. And another question is about soil. Do you mix your own potting mix? Please show us how you complete a potting from start to finish. Thank you Collette

Lovely to see your potted creativity Colette. Looking forward to seeing the growth explode over time.❤Kerry Australia

Very beautiful!!! 🙏💜🌿

Universe in a raindrop ❤️❤️

You´ve made my day Colette!! As i felt some down today....after watching your video, i got so many ideas about planting in pots/ containers....after watching twice i feld much better!!! As a renter i can´t plant trees or large bushes in the garden/ soil... i already have herbs in pots, i now know i can plant much more... So thank you very much Colette!! 💚 🙏 🌷 🪴 🦋 🪴 🌺 🪴

So very beautiful! I’m so glad you made this video! May I ask how everything stays watered?

A blissful slice of serenity. Such beautiful inspiration as spring slowly creeps ahead of winter in my little corner. 🌿💚🍃

Your clematis is amazing, maybe I can save mine, out competed in a bad location. Years ago I planted a euonymus, big mistake, like a plague. Some cropped up at the base of an ancient cucumber tree and almost killed it. I got it out just in time. I have a rhododendron cultivar that has been lingering about for 20 years maybe I will try it potted in anticipation of a better location. It looks more like an azalea and blooms so early, hope it works. Lovely tour!❤

What a fantastic video! I really loved it! Did u see the little cute mouse as you were showing the pieris in the milk churn at 2.24 mins?

Beautiful plants and container garden 🪴 inspiring and educational vid. I have so much fun with pots and potted plants.

Lovely and inspiring

So beautiful! How do you keep all those containers watered? Mine always dry out in the heat of the summer. Perhaps Ireland gets much more rain than we get here.

Your videos are so good here

The River is so pink and lovely, I picked some from next door last year, then planted it. Now it has taken off! I'm over the moon 😊

ah, forsythia . . . I prune it hard every few years, and it still comes back vigorously

You filmed a mouse 😊running away at the base of the 2nd pieris... funny

I love this video,

😊wonderful beautiful peaceful😊

dear Colette.............I can,t plant so much..................for 15.of may....................very cold nights,and it snow..................but I enjoy every day...........................and your garden looks very beautiful..........Blessings and Greetings for you and a big hug for little cute Patsy...........☘☘☘

Wonderful!!!!

Love your videos. ❤

💚

🍀

Hi just wondering if you have to do anything to prepare the tyres before planting ta very much love Desley

🍀🍀🍀

Have had a container garden for a bit now but each year it has been my vegetables and cooking herbs. A few years back branched out to lavender, blueberries, and this year will be annual herbs. Trying my hand at geraniums that are currently in the house but the propagations have not been successful --just wondering if anyone has any suggestions? as this is one that i really love to have outside and in 😊 thank you for sharing a tour of the gardens

When the weather is dry do you water all of the plants from your rain barrel? I’m going to add more pots this year, we have poor soil. Thank you Colette.

💚 🐾

Ohhh thank you for the tour !! I live in a wet climate as well, and I am lucky enough to have wood siding. I’ve been wanting to grow some chalices onto the house, but worried about moisture and mold. Have you had any issues with this ?

Do you rotate the pots to get even sun?

I wonder how 'contained' the clematis and bay tree in tyres actually are. They may have put roots into the ground.

I haven't watched your videos for a while and I remember you had a black and white collie type dog. I can't see him in any of your new videos?😢

Hi Colette - I had an idea...I know you need a new kitchen stove, so what if you set up a special "Go Fund Me" page specifically for your supporters to donate for that purpose? It makes it easy for those of us in the USA to pay using a credit card, or Paypal. If I had all that's needed I'd gladly give it to you, but I don't. However I can give some and so can others. Please consider it. Have a lovely day!

❤Beautiful
