    I had a friend advise me on immersion therapy, Anything you fear , make yourself do it over and over. Before you know it the fear is gone. She was so right. Love your channel ❤ sorry 😞 about the mirrors. Hugs

    I have every confidence in your screen abilities, will we get to see it ?
    The windows falling was a proper eeeek moment.
    I'm just glad you weren't working near it so it wasn't such bad luck 😊

    As always I find your channel so motivating and inspiring for all. Had a bit of a moment that needed cheering up with first the sharing of the Blooms show which I love there are not just the beautiful flowers and arrangements ideas, but the vendors and the food to beer. Not a beer consumer but I can imagine the specialty ones that are there showing off the talents of brewers. You are going to do brilliant and that personality will be so powerful. Cheers sweet lady. Oh yes ordered your book and waiting anxiously for the visual and a great read I know.

    Sorry about your beautiful Gothic arched mirrors! 🙁 Great idea to just apply the vinyl!! Loved Bloom!!! The vertical wall planters were really cool. 🥰You'll do great on television! Just look at one person at a time and focus on seeing only that person. It's talking one-on-one, basically, in a group. You can do it!!! 🦾And your wheelbarrow is definitely Chelsea/Bloom-worthy! 💕Bring all of the plants and then choose while you are there. Better more than not enough. Big hugs from Texas!!! ~ Barb ***PS Took awhile to find the footage, but Catherine, you were great!!! Loved your vivacity, being real about the zinnia's leaves. Your personality really comes through! Plus, the hosts are both super tall!!! Great job! 👏👏👏🎬🪴

    Well, just go in and act like it is not public speaking that your just in chatting with people you can do that. I had the African daisy's last year they were so hardy, and the weather was pretty good they lived well past November.

    I hope your tv presentation went well Catherine. I'm sure it was scary but I always admire you for going outside your comfort zone. I really admired you for coming up with a solution to fix your beautiful window mirrors too! Thanks for sharing the Bloom and a few weeks back Chelsea flowers, I really enjoyed it!😊

    You were wonderful on ireland AM! A charming, confident, knowledgeable person. AND they didn't use your cloth after!! I've been sticking my strawberry runners into little pots already but listening to you, it seems I should be clipping them off!! Also loved your paint it black to trick the eye tip!!! Have raised beds made from sleeper type wood and was struggling with the paint colour. You are an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.

    I've planted a wheelbarrow. It looks great. So the next time you come across a rusty old wheelbarrow with a hole in the bottom ( drainage) cover wheelbarrow hole with burlap, and plant away

    You almost have to blank out your surroundings and forget there are people there with you. Just focus on the camera or whoever you are talking to and pretend it is Karen your best friend. With you big blue eyes and cheeky grin people will love you.

    I absolutely love lupine ❤. Its such a show stopper. I have people stop their car at the end of my driveway to tell me how beautiful my garden is. I actually enjoy gardening and find it especially therapeutic 😊 I am definitely going to plan my visit to Ireland during this event in the future ❤ bucket list ✔️
