It's been a few weeks since my last video, and I'm about to let you know why. I'd also like to take this moment to have a little sit-down with you to discuss plans for the channel and what to expect for the rest of this year. Let me know what you think and if you have any small space gardening challenges that you'd like help with.

I can so relate to being more and more self sufficient. But I had to give up my dream. It was too much for a single 66 year old woman… 2.5 acres and found out I had lymphoma, ( blood cancer). No wonder I had no energy! I did my best for 3 years but in the end I just had to sell up. They were the best 3 years of my life tho. I miss it greatly. I was in country Tasmania. Loved it so deeply.

I had laser eye surgery in my late 20s and it was life changing. It still feels miraculous! Glad you're doing well and can't wait to see more from the garden

Looking forward to seeing your ideas for small spaces. I live in New Zealand and love growing things that I can use from my 200sqm garden space. I have bees and chickens in that space as well, so it's really important that I can squeeze as much as I can out of the space. We currently have 30+ fruit trees on the site and we were overwhelmed with our fruit production this year. The freezer is full and I've had to learn how to preserve. Its a fascinating, wonderful and rewarding journey. I'm hoping to get back out into the garden to share more very soon. Looking forward to watching what you have to share. 🥰

Glad your eye surgery worked out so well. I'd never heard of implantable corrective lens. I get so much out of your channel, learning about plants and how to build garden related items. I live in a condo so usually garden in large pots on my deck. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thanks, from the States.

Lovely! I think it's an excellent idea to focus in on the smaller spaces too. I rented houses for most of my life, some with gardens, most with very little and the last place before I was able to buy a house was literally a doorstep crammed with pots of herbs, roses and lavender. My garden now is about the same as Lovely Greens and is a lot of work but I absolutely love it and I'm grateful every day; it's a blessing😻🙏I'd also benefit from some ideas for smaller areas and container and greenhouse growing X

@cathknight3299 14 күн бұрын

As a small garden owner I am excited to see your ideas on getting the most food production from a small space! It would be really helpful if this could include something about planning your space so that you can harvest and use little and often throughout the season and then how to store the remaining produce at the end of the season.

I am so glad you’re healing well and I will pray for continued healing for you.❤. I have enjoyed your videos for quite awhile now, I can’t even remember how many years I’ve been watching you. I’m always astounded my your work ethic, which is quite evident by the beauty of your gardens. I will continue to watch and even though I’m not challenged by a small area to garden I’m sure I will still learn something useful. Have a fantastic week! TeresaSue

I would like to hear about pest control. Where I am at we have issues with insects that bore into the base of out squash plants. My understanding is they then go into the soil to come out the next year. It is annoying and could use help dealing with it. Glad you were able to get something positive done with your eyes. Sounds like you had the PRK procedure done, I did that in 2008 but had to get glasses again last year. PRK takes time to heal and stabilize compared to LASIK which is why i assumed you got it based on your description. Regardless of what procedure you had done, enjoy it as I certainly did.

A few months ago I offered to move some paving slabs behind the shed for my elderly parents.. four months later I've been out in the garden every day since; I've built a beautiful rockery; I've grown pepper plants from seed and planted maybe a hundred different shrubs, fruit trees and herbs. I've become obsessed with increasing my knowledge on gardening and so appreciative of plants in general. When I go to the park or even just see lawns and gardens I'm awed at the possibilities. So thank you, I appreciate your channel.

Love your videos, and all you have taught me about gardening and making soaps and salves. So grateful your eyes were misdiagnosed and the surgery went well. Looking forward to your small garden ideas. I have a small backyard garden that has been more of a hobby than a true source of growing a significant amount of our own food. I have been wanting to get more intentional about growing more and being more efficient with my gardening.

But what was the proper diagnosis of your eye condition? PS I love your channel because too many men dominate the professional garden space and I wanted to support a woman making garden content, but also we live in almost the exact same kind of climate so your videos are very relevant to me. I'm in Bellingham, WA. Oh and a third reason is that I am also an immigrant. I have my citizenship in the US now but I was born in Canada.

Happy for you! You must have been shocked to find out you were misdiagnosed. I too am getting Lasik eye surgery later this year. Nice to hear about your vision afterwards.

Loved the video! It was great to see the garden as a whole and how the different areas connect, especially where the polycrub (sp?) sits. My Whidbey Island garden is large, 40x80 feet, and sometimes overwhelming. I'm looking forward to your videos on smaller patches. I may be able to think about dividing it into smaller "garden rooms." Congrats on your surgery! So happy for you. I had Lasix surgery many years ago. It is a joy not to be dependent upon glasses.

I've watched most of your videos, commented now and then but never heard your "why." I agree with you completely. However I'm not as successful as you but I'll keep trying. We've got 1/3 acre in Tennessee and are expanding our food crops this season. I just turned 60 and my husband is 62. While we're moving slower I also think gardening also helps slow the aging process. Glad to hear your eyes aren't as bad as initially diagnosed. I'd like to hear how you get everything done. I struggle with gardening, preserving and keeping up with the housework. How much time do you spend gardening every day? What is your routine? Help! 😊

@Lovelygreens 5 күн бұрын

By the number of older people (75+) still gardening, I'd say it's a successful way to stay healthy and mentally fit! As for my time spent gardening, I try to garden about thirty minutes a day - sometimes carrying that amount over to the next day or two. So, about 3.5 hours a week or more. Josh helps a lot, especially with heavier jobs and cutting the grass. It's a challenge keeping on top of the garden and housework at times, so the balance of orderliness indoors/outdoors varies!

Just been offered an allotment that is not no dig, and the soil is so overworked and stony. It makes me so sad to see such dry hard soil. I work full time and can't do over the whole plot but tips on managing time to repair the soil and growing a little something, would be great. Looking forward to more videos! And wishing you a speedy recovery with your eyes.
