Plant up a winner for Mother’s Day

March 13, 2017

It’s kind of a tradition in my family to give my Mum some kind of plant for Mother’s day. As a kid, this generally meant a posie of Daffodils wrapped in tin foil, but I thought I’d step things up a notch this year. This video shows you how to plant up an attractive container display. I’ve used some of my mum’s favs, Hellebore, Heuchera, Thyme and Ivy, but you can pick your favourite seasonal combo.

    Hi Hannah, One question! Why did you not open up the roots of your plants as you potted them? I always do this -just gently. Snd please – it is NOT Mother’s Day! That is how the USA term it. Out is MOTHERING SUNDAY. I have spent my married life searching for cards with MOTHERING SUNDAY – I dare not let my kids give Yvonne anything that said Mother’s Day. Sadly I do not need to worry any more but please – get it right. Amanda will agree with me I am sure. Give Amanda a hug from me please!

      Hi Ron! Nice to here from you! I didn’t tease them out as I often do because the reality is they were quite snuggly planted, so in this instance I didn’t think it would make that much difference. Note taken on Mothering Sunday, although I’m happy to have viewers in America too! Hope all is well 🙂

  • What a day for some hedge planting. We have got 2000 more trees to plant at Hockham Farm, to provide a home for wildlife and help improve water management. When we give the sheep a trim around lambing time we will use the shearings (known as daggings) to mulch around the trees. This helps to keep moisture in the ground and the wool adds nitrogen too. Thank you @gudrunlondon for our matchy matchy outfits. All clothes are gardening clothes in my eyes
  • Happy birthday @indiefarmer husband lol! The best person to have by your side because he is an actual ray of sunshine ☀️ (actually 80% sunshine 20% cake). We love you, have the best day, and so happy to see the sun shining on you this morning ☀️☀️☀️
  • The second post of Nige’s series on getting our hut ready for guests is out now (link in bio). We are proud of all the home made touches. The curtains were made (or maybe I should say co-ordinated and made by her friends!) by my mum from a recycled wool blanket. The sheepskin is one of ours. The beaut fold down table was made by our friend, neighbour and artist @samsamayre. And the rest picked up at the charity shops of Bexhill. We love it and hope you will too. ❤️❤️❤️
  • Our first family home was this shepherds hut. It maybe small but it’s mighty cosy, and with no electricity it forces you to slow down. I don’t entirely miss having to share our one room with a puppy, who cried for cuddles most nights. But I do miss doing not much more than just staring at the fire, and the stars you see on a late night loo trip. It’s something we are looking forward to sharing with others. Nigel is documenting how we hope to become farm hosts in a series of blogs. The link is in my bio.
  • Still some places left for these foraged wreath workshops. Drop me a DM if you’d like to know more
  • This lettuce growing out of the rubble, feels very 2020 to me. I’m taking it as a hopeful sign, that out of the rubbish, beauty always seems to find a way to bust through. Thanks lettuce
  • How to make a bulb lasagne video link in my bio. It’s 3 years old, but hey the seasons keep on rolling round. October is the perfect time to do something like this, and you’ll thank your past self in spring when these joyous flowers push their way through the soil and make you smile. And Lord knows in late February we are going to need all the smiles we can get. Enjoy! #gardeninspiration #irises #tulips #daffodils #flowers
