Tell me what you think! What are you growing this month? 😃

Loving every second of this ❤ every single one of you feels so warm and passionate and uplifting. The sunflower 🌻 for the birds is absolutely amazing - they are great parking for them, not just food. They come, park on my sunflowers while waiting for critters they can hunt. At the same time they of course bless my soil with their droppings. So they don't just take but bring nutrition and pest control 💚👌 I often was watching neighbours buy packs and packs of seeds for the birds in the winter and I felt a little bad about the impact of that. To import seeds from far far away to package in plastic when these grow abundantly locally without packaging... so last few years I've been saving quite a lot of seedheads that fully matured and dried nicely, stored them in the shed. Then gave them to the neighbours to hang them where they love to feed birds in the winter months when we usually have heavy snow and nothing for the birds to eat. This way the neighbours are happy because they don't have to buy seeds and can still admire the birds. The birds are happy because they have supplies in times when there's scarcity and I'm happy because i save on the miles and plastic packaging a little. It's not a massive global scale production of course but I like to believe that every little helps. Thank you for such delightful content. Started my day watching this and it feels like today is going to be a good day. You planted seeds of good feelings 🙏 lots of love from Latvia 🇱🇻

I'm just here for the lovely accents and gorgeous gardens. Even rhough my growing climate is completely different in Southern California USA, I can still pick up some nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for a wonderful video!

Thanks Niall. Great information about the strawberry plants. I just love Catherine with her happy, cheery smile, She is a sunflower.

I follow Catherine. I just love her. Her garden is beautiful and so full.

I finally found the trick for growing lavender…amending my clay soil to have good drainage.

How nice. I moved some of my strawberries into my large pots, around the roots of larger plants, as we were having a scaffolding put up right in my strawberry bed. But now these nomadic plants are doing so well that I will not return them to the main strawberry bed. :)

Thank you. I love that you are in Europe near where I am

I grow lots of Strawberries, also put among the asparagus and wild strawberries around the fruit bushes. I do all my carrots in large pots.

Looks absolutely beautiful Niall. Sooo adore always. Have a wonderful day 😌😀

I love how you describe plants

Wow Niall your vegetable garden looks amazing since you put in the gravel paths. Great video as usual!

Those are great plants to sow this time of the year! thanks

Lovely selection 🍃🌸🍃

May i say firstly,your beds area is looking fantastic,like something from Bloom,well done Niall,your vision is coming alive. I planted artichokes thise year,because i loved watching it in a old allotment that someine had. You will love yours bigtime for sure. Great recommendations thank you, asparagus gone in a few months ago,who knows if it will work out. Great recommendations from the others.

Yesss, plant all the strawberries!!! 🍓🍓🍓 Great video Niall and hello from America!!!

🌻Wonderful episod🌻

Thank you for such an interesting video. The veg garden is looking really smart and colourful 😊

I winter sowed lavender seeds and they didn’t disappoint! Wonderful video as always❤

Love your gravel. Looks nice there.

Great video thanks I would love more content about which other plants grow well together

I loved this video! As someone who loves cooking & baking, I'd like to add that lavender (Lavandula angustifolia or english/true lavender) is also a culinary plant. Even if you aren't the greatest cook there are some easy things that you can do (i recommend drying the lavender flowers first for these): - lavender syrup for lemonade etc. (Simply boil a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water with some lavender until sugar is dissolved, and use it to make lemon lavender lemonade :) ) - lavender tea to relax, or maybe even if you have a difficult time falling asleep. It also has a lot of health benefits (i recommend mixing dried lavender with other herbs like nettle, even mint, lemon balm, or anything you want! Add boiling water and wait for 5-8 minutes. ) - you could also add a bit of lavender to your usual italian seasoning (don't worry, it won't stand out too much). That tastes really great with some oven roasted vegetables or potatoes And if you're feeling adventurous or just love cooking&baking like I do there are tons of recipes here on KZfaq that use lavender as well :)

Good evening Niall, great video your garden is looking very colourful. I've at last finished planting my bedding plants yesterday, and was shattered,but can now watch them grow if the pesky 🐌 and slugs keep off them,they've eaten the centre out of quite a few 😢. Take care thanks for sharing, happy gardening 😊

Just get more!!!🍓🍓 🍓 that’s what I have wanted. I have a small planter with them but I want more production!

I have loads of strawberries plants, but they are not enough when it comes to eating em. And this year I will again save a load of runners so hopefully they will add to my collection. I’m gonna go sort out another grow bed for some carrots and have some red to try. Thanks liz. And I thought it too late for sunflowers as mine have been very slow growing. And have got some chocolate ones so will sow them today too. Thanks for the tips

Great content. Your gravel paths are looking great as you move along with them.

I thought I'd be self sufficient in strawberries this year. We built a large planter along one wall and I planted an early variety, some mid season and one late variety. I thought we'd be in strawberries all summer. But my young kids have proven me wrong again. They've eaten the lot 🤦🏻‍♀️ So, I'll be finding more spaces for plants next year. Wish we had a bigger garden.

Love your garden❤ looks fabulous! Liz is one of my favs.. so calm. I am going to look into an artichoke plant or two 🙂 I’m in southern Maine, 5b.. quite cold winters. I’m starting a bunch of perennials this month and annual houseplant care is on my to do list. I’m planting bush beans and replanting cucumbers.. my current plants are small and slow growing. We had an extremely wet and grey June.

Happy July, Niall, from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 Great video and collaboration with the ladies. Very hot here, mid-90's F day and close to 80° at night. Take care ❤Peggy❤

Here in my West Cork super acidic soil I have to work hard, to have nice lavender... tons of sand worked into the soil.

Caught your name on Catherine dainty diaries thought you are so good and plenty of information on lots of stuff about gardening thanks just subscribed today going now to catch up with you earlier shows thanks again ❤

Catherine - here in South West France I am surrounded by sunflower fields. The flowers are called tournesol - that is - they turn to the sun! Niall - great idea about the lavender. I have lavender in my flower garden, but I was wondering what to put in a gap in my vegetable garden, and now I know. Thank you.

I love these videos Niall, thanks. Just wondering do the birds eat your Strawberries?

Great Video and informative too - love this channel :0)

I love lavender but mine starts dying from the middle out. Others I know have the same problem. I live on the coastal Gulf of Mexico in the U.S. so now I’m growing Sylvia and it seems to be doing well.

Fantastic video

Top notch visuals and content, I love Catherine, have Liz's book sitting by my bedside. This felt like a catch up with transcontinental friends, so thank you Niall and all from Costa Rica! 🇨🇷❤

Wow Niall, just took a look at your subscriber count, congratulations. 👌❤️ from Donegal

Could I please ask what type of sunflower Dainty diaries is stood with in her video please? ❤

My tip; Dont let carrots go to flower. You will find carrots allover the garden next year if you do.

I believe you were bud bundy from love and married 😊

What zone are you in? I’m in Vermont zone 5 sometimes 4 temps are the strawberries hardy enough to get thru the winter

Orange carrots are from the Netherlands not Belgium.

Great video Niall your garden is looking so colourful would you do a tour of it I would love to see a garden video. also I am thinking of doing some raised beds what type of wood do I need to use?
