Here in the North of England, we have been having a bit of a heatwave. The rain that came this last couple of weeks was so very welcome and has made everything in my garden grow phenomenally! Weeds too!
In this video I’ll show you the work that my Garden Team were doing in the pouring rain in my Front Woods. We have a long term plan for this area. Watch this space!

very fitting I thought
The recipe for Gooseberry Fool is very simple.
Top and tail the gooseberries and give them a good wash. In a saucepan add a good handful of caster sugar to the berries with a glug of undiluted elderflower cordial. Heat gently for 10 minutes. The berries should not be mushy. Taste and adjust the sugar if you like.
Fold this into lightly beaten double cream, one small pot of the stuff.
That’s it. Serve with little biscuits, shortbread traditionally, but I had amaretti biscuits. Delicious!

Oh Kate it was so lovely to see Eileen little miss gorgeous even being unsociable 💜
The garden team are working wonders well done to you all
Gooseberry fool yummy 😋
I love your new channel so much especially as i have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer so i won't be able to do any gardening this year so its nice to see your garden and the work that is being done.
I love the foxgloves they look magical in the woods , do you bring them into the house sometimes ?
Love your garden videos because I don't have a green thumb. I noticed the bird feeders & you don't have a hummingbird feeder . Why?
Kate, do you not have snake worries on your property? I live in North Carolina, USA and there are snake concerns.
Hi Kate. Your gardens are beautiful. I have really enjoyed seeing your yard, what spectacular gardens you have. Wow. inspirational. Congratulations on 100,000 viewers on the homely house channel. Renée maine usa.❤
Gorgeous gardens. SOOOOO much food and plants. Did I hear you say that this team comes on Tuesdays??? Is this volunteer work, or grant work?? There's a LOT of talent there. KUDOS for being able to have them help out. Looking forward to the building of the pathways through your "jungle" and to the disposition of the Willow branches. Blessings to you Kate. Thanks again for the lovely music too.
Love the peacefulness of your garden as the work to set up pathways continues. Better than an hour of therapy!! Blessings, Dawn
Hi Kate ! Thank you for the beautiful video. I am looking at a handful of fresh blackberries and a small box of fresh blueberries. So i am inspired by the gooseberry fool idea ! I admire all of your flowering trees and shrubs..Thank you
So enjoying 'being' in your garden, Kate, and loving all the natural wildness surrounding your plot. Doesn't it all smell lovely after the rain? I'm vicariously enjoying all your veg production as this year mine is taking a back seat while I regenerate another part of my garden, concentrate on my mini meadow and save every other spot I can find for bee-loving plants.
Hello Kate, thank you for showing natures gift of peace and tranquillity that is within your garden. I feel relaxed and happy watching it. Take care x♥
What a wonderful job you and your helpers have made of the garden – it will be even more lovely when you get the pathways through that pretty wilderness area. I can imagine you must feel like you’re in heaven when you go for a stroll first thing in the morning or on a warm summer evening. Best wishes from freezing Perth, Western Australia 🙂
Are you planning to make a fence or baskets or something with the cut willow branches?
Oh just heard you saying something about pathways. Are you going to make a corduroy road with cut willow branches?
It’s so nice to spend time in your garden! 🌻
Thank you, thank you for a delightful amble through rainy North England today. Such a refreshing visit Kate! It's 105F where I am today in California….tomorrow's forecast is for 110F.
I so enjoy your garden. I can't have a garden the ground is very hard and it is way to hot. People do plant but it take way to much watering, not friendly to our desert. Trying to find a good place in the house for my geranium ans 1 other plant since we are in 108f and higher for who knows how long.
Always happy to see a new vlog Kate❤
Lots of work for your and your team . The garden is truly breathtaking.. Must be awesome to eat from your own garden. Blessings Kate
❤❤❤
Calming and so serene!
Loved it all, but then I would have come just for the title of your channel.
Really enjoying your garden slot too , thanks Kate.
Your garden is such a joy. Thank you for sharing 🌸

Lovely – just slow the panning shots a bit! Can make me feel a bit dizzy!!
There is nothing like a good rain to get everything lush and green looking. Love watching your garden videos and dreaming of sitting in such a peaceful and beautiful place!
Living in Southern California, it's lovely to see the rain on your garden & how joyfully the garden has responded.
Thanks for sharing with us on the, well, forest green couch! 😀❤❤ ❤❤
I always love seeing Eileen.
Just so tranquil Kate. Cannot stop watching – thank you ❤

Will we have a lime green sofa equivalent? Love seeing more of your garden. A special thanks to your team for helping make this possible.
Oh! how lovely to see the Fox Gloves!
