I'd amost left you a comment last night, on a previous video, because I've realised that I was missing you and a month has passed since your last one. Then I decided to wait for the next day and oh, what a delightful surprise to discover your springtime video and seeing you again, busy bees as always, spreading love, seeds, smiles, beauty and humanity around you. Seeing you is a balm for the heart. Prenez soin de vous.
Pioneers llike the days when your ancestors came to Canada and cleared the land to grow crops and build a home for their families. Only it was a lot harder, yet similar. I wish you luck as today the weather with climate change is a huge challenge. I support your efforts. God Bless.
Ways to get rid of slugs, used coffee grounds, used tea grounds or use teabags. If you want to keep snails away take ground egg shells and sprinkle them around any plants that snails eat. Deer are repelled by egg shell smell if you have an apple tree or any tree that deer chew the bark off of it will repel deer. Love to see the beautiful multi colored poppies. Thank you for all your hard work and effort, and making these videos for our enjoyment. It is greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
coffee grounds might not be a good idea, it acidifies the soil too much especially when its already nutrient rich filled with fresh manure, it is good at reacidifying soil though! a more proactive approach is just to have a a few chickens and tie its pen near the crops you wish to have defended, add a rooster and tie him to a porch near the hens, it provides a natural alarm clock and he scares off other larger animals. A chicken coop that allows the hens free reign across your garden helps you to get eggs and some meat too while protecting it from bugs as much as they can. Butchering chickens is also a very humanizing experience, it teaches people that life is sacred and having a more direct connection to where death is taken to sustain one's life humbles a man. 2 or 3 olive trees somewhere and your family is set for a good life, the only thing you need to buy is just milk, flour, yeast, and some cheese, Then you have all you need for good and healthy eating with eggs, chicken meat, all kinds of vegetables and herbs, hearty glass of milk, a nice wheel of cheese, all kinds of bread, great sources of fat from the chickens and the olives with olives being a great way to make soap with, and you can go to the market for the occasional sweet or other meats like pork or beef or fish. One of the best ways to wake up is to a rooster call and dousing your entire body with cold water and to end it with a glass of warm tea, just heaven.
Bonjour, Je suis émerveillée par tout ce que vous faites ! le jardin, le potager, la poterie...C'est toujours plus beau ! Les enfants ont encore grandi et semblent bien s'entendre. Contente d'avoir de vos nouvelles ! A bientôt et bel été à vous ! Cécile
Really appreciate sharing a little of your family’s life in rural France. Your garden, veggies and flowers are a joy to behold. Your young sons are thriving. Keep up the good work. Cheers sue Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Missed your videos which as always beautifully filmed and narrated. I enjoy the progress of your homestead and looking forward to the barn renovation. The path through the long grass with poppies is so beautiful.
You have both been very busy over the last few months. So good to see you again, as I am calmed by the tone of your voices and the beauty that is present in your property. I wish you well on your garden and poly tunnel this year.
Hi Rebecca. We have chickens and they just free roam selected parts of the garden, depending on the time of year. What we noticed is, the areas where they roam are pretty much free of slugs and snails. We used to get horrendous damage to young leaves. Perhaps find a way to balance the chickens being freerange, and the times they have access to selected areas?
Thanks Debbie. That's interesting to note. We didn't let them in the potager last year but they were roaming the garden. Will have to let them go have a little feast!
The tulips, one incredible variety in particular, are amazingly beautiful. The poppies, magnifique! Whenever...I see you've posted, I really appreciate it. Warm hugs to you both!
Thank you for your love and efforts in making this beautiful video ♥️ Your homestead is amazing and you have made so much progress. Much Love for your family. Utah, USA
Lovely to have a new video from you. I certainly understand the conflict in filming these videos and simply living your lives. Finding that balance is important. I look forward to seeing how the barn comes along. If you live where high winds come with storms I highly recommend putting a wood frame inside poly tunnel for reinforcement. You’ll stand a better chance of its survival than just the concrete blocks.
C’est un peu dommage de vivre en France et d’acheter des semences DT Brown (UK). When I lived in the UK, I bought English products when they were available, which is the case for French seeds in France. I think it is a gesture of respect for the country that welcomes you on their land.😢
You should see what's in our cupboards. Brown sauce, Marmite, PG Tips, if it ain't British we don't buy it! We only grow British veg for British people! Did you use British humour when you spent time in the UK? My guess is you didn't and were and still are a bit of a Karen.
@@LivingintheLoire, I am sorry you take it that way. What I learnt in the UK is the value of feedback. It was just a « billet d’humeur » as we call it over here, prompted by what I saw in the video. But perhaps, you have a partnership with DT Brown and that’s why you show it on the video. That’s fine and it just needs to be said. By the way, I have not insulted you and I did not learn the meaning of « Karen » whilst I was in the UK, probably because I was welcome by kind people. I can see now that « Karen is a pejorative slang for an angry, entitled, and often racist middle-aged white woman », so much for taking feedback with British humour…😂
Brilliant idea with weighting the poly tunnel down. Loads of beautiful blooms. What green thumbs you to have!😊 You know about saving your egg shells to crush and put around your plants to keep slugs and snail from eating off small shoots.
Great to see you all! Gosh the garden is going to be amazing, you've both put so much work into it! And those poppies!!! Stunning... Rebecca, save all of your eggshells, dry them out a bit and crush them up a bit. then sprinkle around the edges of your garden beds. Stops all the slithery bugs, it really does work. And added bonus of a bit of calcium getting into the soil! I hope the weighted down polytunnel stays up, I reckon it will with all of those blocks around it! Mine is weighted as well, rough winds just decimate them otherwise. Looking forward to your chat on Sunday, and congratulations on the channel's brilliant growth :) Much love and big hugs xxx
It’s pretty demoralising when the critters destroy your crop, I had my sweet basil, mint and coriander plants guzzled by the slugs and caterpillars. The thing that drives me nuts is I often can’t find them, each morning I wake to further mayhem and destruction and the guilty parties are no where to be found 😡🙁
Sweet corn is one of my favorite vegetables to freeze after harvest. That's probably because it retains all its natural sugars. I've been told if you put several small jars of beer out in the garden, it will attract the slugs. 🤷 I don't know. Colorado doesn't seem to have slugs. Too dry I think.
Hey, my neighbor just gave me a tip regarding small seeds like flowers, carrots or radishes. He mixes them with some sand. Like that it's easier to spread them.
If you put coffee grounds around your plants the slugs don't like it and they do not like eggshells egg shells also have a lot of niacin and they help feed your plants.
I started in 2018 doing evening classes for two terms. I was getting frustrated as the teacher put up a lot of boundaries. I learnt a lot from RUclips and Instagram on throwing techniques. I bought a cheap wheel and kiln and went from there.
Please talk to me in the videos, it is more fun to listen to what are you doing and why? I love to se your projects and also when you are working with your jobs with clay and textiles.
Chilled. Good point about the beauty and the challenges but try to lose a bit of the uk urge to push ahead and spend some time appreciating the beauty you are creating and living in.
Thanks David. We do try to, we could do it more definitely. I'm not sure it's just a UK thing more that we're in that phase of life where there are there always a huge amount of demands on us and our time. C'est la vie.
If you want to be successfully with you tube you have to post a video once or even better twice a week , one guy Dan is posting every day and in no time has 170000 subscribers

Thanks Maureen

I love watching you both work away.. it’s calming and relaxing for me at least please try and put out the odd video you bring joy to so many 😊
Thank you David
You choose the most beautiful, atmospheric music for your videos. It's a lovely background to your artistic country life.
This calm and quite life is beautiful to watch! It reminds us to be less stressful and just do your job and enjoy life itself. Thank you.

So nice to see you back....you have been missed 💗. The flowers and gardens are looking great. You two have done so much....well done!!
Thanks Jane. I'm really please with how the beds are filling out this year. I think the garden enjoyed the wetter spring even if I didn't as much!

Beautiful garden… the poppies! And the roses, just wow! Lovely filming btw, look after yourselves and be happy.
Thank you CC. It has been a great year for the flowers.
Raising a family this way. So precious.
Love your wild poppy field, but then i saw the roses and was wowed again.
Yay they’re back, a welcome breath of fresh air and goodness, just what the soul needs 😉🙏💪
I’m glad you came by to say hello 👋. Slog on! ❤❤❤
Good to see you guys. I hope all is well :-)
Thanks for creating and sharing this video. Refreshing to see you again 😀👍

Thanks Sue!
Before even watching your newest u tube story, I was so very excited to hear from you! Thank you.
The poppies, roses and hydrangeas are so gloriously abundant. Have you ever considered opening a cutting garden?
I think I'd find it too stressful - so much is out of your control, I'd forever be worrying about them.
Keep your egg shells to sprinkle around vegetables, slugs don’t like them and also plant marigolds in your beds.👍 for lovely calming vlogs
Progress looks absolutely amazing. What an incredible way for your children to grow up. Living the dream!
Missed your videos which as always beautifully filmed and narrated. I enjoy the progress of your homestead and looking forward to the barn renovation. The path through the long grass with poppies is so beautiful.
Garlic is looking wonderful!

I m from Pakistan i m so injoy ur work

Great video guys. Letting the grass grow and seeing all the wild flowers was lovely.
Brooke, is the cricket shirt an inverse nod to Max and Paddy? 😆

I know!! How do they slither off into hiding so quickly?!
hi im sarmad
from sindh pakistan im happy to see u ur very hardworker sincere made house garden and more work so beauty ful video best of luck😊
Thanks Sarmad, best wishes.
Lovely content and music. Shazam can’t seem to identify it( first calming music). Thanks!

When you began doing pottery did you start at a studio or did you jump in and buy all the equipment and get started teaching yourself?
I started in 2018 doing evening classes for two terms. I was getting frustrated as the teacher put up a lot of boundaries. I learnt a lot from RUclips and Instagram on throwing techniques. I bought a cheap wheel and kiln and went from there.
Please talk to me in the videos, it is more fun to listen to what are you doing and why? I love to se your projects and also when you are working with your jobs with clay and textiles.
Yes we now have some microphones, so I'm sure you'll hear a lot more of us now.
You were gone for so long and I was waiting for you ,and now you forgot the subtitles .
Sorry, I can't get them to work at the moment. I'll try again.
Sprinkle borax or even crushed egg shells around plants to repel slugs.
