    Remember cherries, pears and plums to produce fruit have to cross pollinate. So you need different sorts of the fruit trees in the garden.

    What a beautiful family and property... each season gives me more of a glimpse of what life might have been like for my farmor, in Nordmaling, where she was born in 1905. My parents and i visited in 1977, and I remember it being very full of tall trees, and beautiful. We also went to the coast around Nordmaling, and saw the Baltic Sea. Truly beautiful country. I look forward to your cookbook !

    Oh dear, the mint! You will say this year that you're giving it the whole box to go crazy but do you think mint stops with just one box? The boxes are close enough to each other so that next year you'll find it sprouting in other boxes as well. If you want to grow mint indeed, I would give it a corner far from other veggie boxes and flower beds and pray it doesn't take over the whole yard eventually

    Nice to see that you are acquiring new skills such as "gardening" (usual Christine's work!)...
    I am curious... How did the dogs reacted to the baby?!?!?! 👶
    Would be nice to see your new "running water" in your house! 🌊
    Good luck for your wood... I thinking you were wishing that your son be already 10 yrs old!🤪 Maybe you should try to find a way to open you shed on both sides because your old wood will always be in the back!!! but if you could move the frame from one side to the other, you could rotate the opening every year ... one year one side,, next year the other side!!!
    Cooking book making... a multi task personality!!! wow you continue to amaze me!!! 😲
    I notice that you have tattoos and I am curious to know why to choose to have tattoos? I am 75 yrs old and could not understand how people put those on their body... How does fit into your healthy living... put ink (everything else than the body isn't is a kind of intoxication?!?!?! Is it a pain "test"? 🤔
    You planting trees for special occasions is a beautiful idea!!!
    Just a thought: Christine and your son are very lucky to have you!!! Hard worker and dedicated to whatever you do!. Rare man!!!
    Thank you to share those beautiful moments with us... soothing and enlivening! 💫💖👌🥰👌💖✨✨

    Do not feel stupid about the tire. We have a saying here in the US righty tighty, lefty Loosy.
    I have to say that so often so I remember that left loosens them and right tightens things. Usually with a screwdriver. Or maybe the hose outside. Or… :-)

    Hey :) Thank you for making these beautiful videos!! I love watching them and get inspired by the way you and Christine live your life. One thing I always wanted to ask is, how are you handeling the ticks? I remember, when I went to Sweden, especially to the forest, there were so many tiny ticks. And also here in Germany.. So, I am wondering, do you have a problem with them? How are you able to relax when walking barefoot in the forest and sitting there, to not get a tick.
    Much love to your little family 🥰

    Try to contain that mint while you can. If you can dig it out now and put in a pot you will be better off. It will take over that whole garden it is ruthless. It will spread in the paths and continue on. Dig out everything and then cover the area with cardboard and that might just have caught it. Good luck.

    I like your connection with nature and food and how you appreciate the small things in life. It's a breeze of fresh air on social media to see people who are not all about money and materialistic stuff but also not too focused on being perfect in any kind of way. Many channels about alternative/sustainable living give me these pressure vibes of not trying hard enough but yours never does! You two just seem so genuine, happy and just like people you would like to know in real life. Truly inspirational!
    Thanks for your great work and all the best - especially for your little son,
