Sam, shocked and saddened to read the sad news in the comments. Sincere condolences to you and the family. Hope to see you back someday when you are ready. 😢
I had no idea something so dreadful had happened until I read the comments. Sincere condolences to Sam and family 💐 I didnt know you or Seth personally, but felt I did through your RUclips channels. This awful news has brought me to tears thinking of the heartache you and your family will be going through.
Gday Sam, thinking of you and your family. Sorry to hear about poor Seth 😢. Have been thinking of you often. Take all the time you need and hope to see you back on here one day ❤️
I came looking to see why you have posted any videos and I'm at a loss for words. Im trully sorry Sam. I hope at some point you are on the road to recovery. Rest up little guy.😩😩
Hi Sam, so sorry to hear this news. No good mate, my thoughts are with you. You're videos are an inspiration in the garden world to a lot of us, hope you can still find happiness within your plants.
Sam, I hope that the comments about Seth aren't true. My heart is heavy at the thought of it. But I fear the lack of response refuting the claims are confirmation. Every time I saw you two together it was a gift to see. I hope there are people close enough to help you and your family through this nightmare. I hope there are people who can simply sit with you and grieve with you. The pain I feel for you and your family is real and genuine but I live on the other side of the world. I pray you are surrounded by peace and love during this time.
@@ofthedawn From what I gathered by gleaning through the comments Sam's son passed away from complications of some kind of health condition. Sam's channel has been silent and I believe that Seth has indeed passed away. My deepest condolences to the family.
Good to here you are seeing Marcela, she works tirelessly for VNBC and is the glue that holds the club together💚I have been down to a club meet for 3 years now due to health issues, but hopefully some of them are coming up here soon for a day out. Cheers Enjoy
Oh man... One day, 237.4 years from now when my twigs get that big, my robot clone will know exactly how to keep them Bloody Beautiful!! Great video! Thanks Sam!
Think I’ve sussed it now! If I mention the channel it gets stopped but Sam mentions it several times, particularly when he announces he n his mate are gonna work on a hawthorn together!! 🤞
Fantastic pot and tree combo - truly looks more aged after the haircut. Are the winter rains enough to water your wild-planted trees? Hoping you get a well-deserved break from hauling watering cans!
hello, could you tell me what you use as a substrate for your olive trees? For fertilizer, what do you use and how often? For watering, you use drip? Sorry for all these questions but I see that your olive trees have an X5 growth compared to mine that I grow in the south of France. Thank you. Best regards, Jean
Hey Sam looks great mate well done all your trees are amazing. Um quick question just wondering how the cat litter soil mix went ? Nd do u recommend to use it.??
Dear Sam and Family and dear friends . I shouldn’t think you’ll see this but I feel so deeply sad as the news filters through, that I want to say something but what? I’m praying to God for comfort and strength for you all. Know that all your subscribers will be feeling for you all around the World and sending best love. God bless you and give you comfort, peace and strength 🙏✝️. Fondest love, Gaye ✌️
Dear Sam, I was devastated to hear about Seth. Words cannot express how much my heart is breaking for you and your family. I wanted to let you know that you and Seth had one of the most awesome father/son relationships that I’ve ever seen. Please know that we are thinking of you. 😢😢😢
the mic is too close to a head matey.....it fux with my moniters..you sould get a few pointers from young Sethy about ow to do a bloody video Sammy me old matey
I understand that Sam and his partner are going to be struggling for a long time. I think there jobs and work are going to be taking a back seat. I absolutely don’t know if this would be true. But if they are taking time off work I could guess that financially it could get hard. I for one would like to thank him for his hours of entertainment he has given us and give back in emotionally hard times. Is there a way in RUclips to donate money? It wouldn’t be much but if we all could give a tiny bit it may help if needed. It’s also a way of telling them thinking of them.
Big thanks Sam. I took your advice on my the (much smaller) olives at the end of winter and hacked them back to stumps - it took a while but they now have lots of shoots. I know our summer is nowhere near the same but would you just let all of the new growth go and then do some selection in early winter or would you reduce a lot of the new growth to make sure energy gets directed to the shoots you know you wil want to et bigger. Sounds a novice question but I just want to get a feel for how you would approach this next step. Great video by the way. You are my olive guru :)
Hey Sam and Family, I think of you and Seth often. I hope you are keeping your heads above the waves of grief. I wish you well.
Sam, shocked and saddened to read the sad news in the comments. Sincere condolences to you and the family. Hope to see you back someday when you are ready. 😢
Sam I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Please come back when you are ready and not before. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Sam, you and your family have my deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of your beloved Seth. May his memory be eternal.
I had no idea something so dreadful had happened until I read the comments.

At last, messages of sympathy are dribbling through, thank God. 🙏✝️
@@gayefanner731I don't want to seem rude, but what is your connection to the Doetke family?
My boy has a bonsai because of Aussie dude.
Loads of respect.
God bless you for your lovely message 🙏✝️

@danakoziatek yeah that made me feel bad. I always watched seth. I hope his dad comes back. Was seth his only son?
@@ofthedawn I'm not entirely sure. I believe he has at least one other child. A girl I believe.
Great video Sam. 15 years and my olives might be up yours. Wonderful!!
Time you videoed them Guy ✌️
Nioce one bloke!

You may have heard by now, Sam’s son Seth died early July, unexpected health complications. 🤷🏼♀️ ✌️
@@gayefanner731 no I hadn't heard - I have no words -
I know, it’s a tragedy, poor Sam and family, all we can do is pray for strength for them and comfort and peace 🙏✝️ ✌️
I see RUclips has deleted my reply!! I’ll try again, Sam announced it six months ago on another platform, let’s see if that’s allowed. It’s so sad💔

What’s happened to Sam? Haven’t seen anything up for a while….
Have you read all the comments?
Sam's son has passed away.
@@dk2614 Obviously not. Ah that’s terrible. Poor family. There’s no words for it but so sorry Sam. Life really isn’t fair.
