    It's 20 degrees here today and I'm sitting against an ice pack taking care of a very sore back. I was feeling a bit blue when I decided to look on RUclips. Your lovely Vlog popped up in my feed and seeing blue sunny skies and green plants made my day a bit cheerier. I've decided to look through my potted gardening books and look ahead to spring. Thanks for the inspiration. Funny how the Internet brings inspirations from Hawaii to Philadelphia. Thanks!

      Oh yes, that's what makes us deeply happy I feel. Before I watched your wonderful vlog, I went for a walk, everything is covered in snow, it is quite slippery. But I enjoyed it a lot and even discovered a yard with four donkeys :D in our village. And it made me so happy!

    YAY Michael for your choice of fragrance-free detergent. Wish it were mandatory as I'm basically a "bubble person" -- VERY chemically sensitive & even the smallest exposure to the toxic chemicals that synthetic fragrances & dyes in most products have nearly cost me my life many times; long story/former research chemist, where corporate employees were seen as expendables. I'm the only one still alive from the research projects our team was on -- back in 1977. I would not be had I not been forced to choose a much less toxic environment, in every category.
    I'm so glad you too have chosen a less toxic life.

    That was really interesting about the Manuka Honey, I had no idea that was where it originates. Last year I really wanted to plant a small vegetable garden in our back yard but we chickened out and now I am feeling more confident about it after watching how well you plantings have done. I really enjoy these Cottage Living Vlogs. xo Lynette

I also have a little plant that is as old as I am...almost 26 years! I don't know what sort it is. And one plant I have saved from my friends house haha. I wish we have al little more sun and higher temperatures here in the Netherlands so I can grow more plants in my garden! Love to watch yours! Please keep updating us!

  • @jenniferduncan7405
    @jenniferduncan7405 9 лет назад +13

    The plant that the monarch butterflies land on is called milkweed. It is the host plant for monarchs so if you see yellow, black and white caterpillars eating the plant don't kill them.

    • @christinekobzeff
      @christinekobzeff  9 лет назад +9

      Thank you so much for sharing that, Jennifer! We really enjoy having butterflies in the garden, so I'll try to plant a few more milkweeds for them. :)

    @MystLily 9 лет назад +1

    So lovely to see Patricia Bragg, I've just bought her apple cider vinegar from iherb, I'm assuming she's a little bit of US history in her family name.
    Very interesting to see Michael's find in the uranium glass, I've never heard of it before.
    Bonsai love the be sprayed with water from a little spray bottle either very early morning or late arvo and if their soil is to dry you can sit the pot in a bowl of water so that it soaks the water up from the roots for an hour or so. It wets the soil more thoroughly than top watering. Not all the time, just when it's really dry.
    Looking forward to seeing that taco perfected :)♥
