Wow a lot of hard work done, Karen. We'll all be looking forward to watching your garden grow now 😊 So many seeds planted and growing 😮 Gorgeous vibrant crocs 😍

Hi Karen, love the yellow crocs! To repel slugs I use copper adhesive tape, they don't like to cross it so aren't able to munch your plants or seedlings. I bought mine on ebay but I think you'd be able to get it at your local garden centre. I'm really enjoying your gardening style and when you get together with Catherine the pair of you crack me up! Keep it up 😂 x

I think the humidity domes are removed once seeds sprout. Let's air in to reduce fungus and stronger seedlings with the air. Lots of beautiful plants you got. Want those lupin.

I got tie dye crocs for wearing in the garden at the beginning of spring and have been in love since. I actually wore them to the vets office one, dirt and all. I love that they are comfortable with socks when it’s cool and without socks when it’s too hot. Being able to spray them off is icing on the cake!

Your infectious excitement you project at every little green growth is so lovely you seem at your happiest in your garden ❤️ thank you for sharing 😊

Girl! I got lemon crocs for my gardening this year and they are so cheery and sunny! No croc shame here! I’m obsessed with bright shoes lol.

I love these videos, your enthusiasm is so sincere and brings me joy to see. You enjoy your hobby! 😊

Hi Karen, it's such hard work lifting turf, your new border looks beautiful. Enjoyed your video. This autumn you'll be able to plant tulips in the borders too. Gorgeous.

This video gives me so much joy! I'm a Catherine crossover too : ). Girl I cannot help myself when it comes to plants. I've been trying to limit myself when I see a plant, and ask where I will put it. But you know what? the plant always wins lol. And seeds, oh goodness, they win too : D. The garden... it just brings me so much joy, not just mine but other's as well. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to see the progress!

Wow! A lot of hard work with beautiful payoff!

Looks beautiful, love all your seedlings coming up😊😊😊😊❤

It's taking shape beautifully, Karen. I can almost smell the fresh garden soil. So good! We're having a nonexistent spring here - another 7 inches of snow last week. Ugh. I've muttered a few choice words to Mother Nature under my breath, believe me. (sigh) So thank you for another lovely video! I'm gardening vicariously through you. 😊 Here's hoping for warmer weather for both of us.

At least you won’t lose them 😂😂😂 beautiful 💕

[robinreed]

Your garden is coming along nicely. You are doing such a great job.

My seeds are also very very slow this year, you are not alone!

My Crocs are 20yrs old, bright teal and still as good as day 1 🤣 The garden looks fab! Before you go digging the other new flower beds, start saving cardboard boxes and look up "no dig flower beds". Made my back so much happier.

[kathywood]

Garden looking good Karen and you rock the crocs. Xxx

[sjerzgrl]

I love your yellow crocs! Perfect for the garden! Watching you remove the grass made me exhausted, I can only imagine how tired you were. Also, I love lavender, but every time I’ve tried to grow it, I don’t have any success, so I’ve given up.

Hi Karen I too am a seedaholic😂😂 I've ran out out of pots😂😂, my new flower obsession is dahlias They are just showing a ickle bit of growth🎉😂😂. The corner patch looks lovely, can't wait to see it flourish. I was having trouble with my seedling too taking ages to grow but like you say we need a bit more warmer weather.
Much love to you..and the plants 😂😂❤❤
