My grandmother's peony just bloomed this year for the first time in years. It had gotten rather neglected, but I've been working on it. This particularly pink peony came with her family in 1868 from North Carolina, so a peony can be a multi-generational investment. My great-grandmother's bloom beautifully every year and they are well over 100 years old now.❤
I love this story.
Older varieties of peonies apparently take a 3-4 year break after being divided or transplanted. They don't like their roots being distributed.
The bulbs make a beautiful Spring show ,well done
The best mornings are when you get to watch Alex and Gail do their thing. Love it!
Another splash of BEAUTY !😍
Alex’s felt hat is becoming well broken in and is looking even cooler with the passage of time. Two well kitted out and stylish country ladies.
Glad to see you had success with the Farmer Gracy bulbs, mine were quite unsuccessful. 🌷
The bulbs were gorgeous, the orange ones wow.
The bulbs are very nice! They are very expensive in the USA! I purchased a large gladiola bulb for $22.00 for the one bulb!
Alex looks like she could be in the English Women's Land Army during WWII.
At the start, there was some billowing in the trees behind, but when Gayle said 'storm' there was a veritable gust. How strange.
HI!! LOVE THAT THE BRIDGE IS FINALLY FIXED. NOW YOU WON'T BE STUCK. I LIKE THE BULBS YOU PLANTED AND I THINK THE SHREWS LIKED THEM TOO. PRETTY COLOURS AND LOVE THE GROUNDS HOW IT LOOKS. IT'S AMAZING HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GROW. WELL THANKS AGAIN AND STAY SAFE ❤️ 🙏
Oh, the crocuses were beautiful!! I've done that with daffodils and paper whites all over my front yard. It's always wonderful to see them start peeking their heads out of the ground after a long, cold winter!!
What a beautiful array of colours. Well worth the effort if planting them,
Two beautiful gals, lush green nature and a lot of beautiful flowers. What
What more could a man want, sigh. 😁 ;-)
You live in such a beautiful part of the world. So so beautiful. And the bulbs are simply stunning xx 🇦🇺♥
Thank you so much! ☺️
Very haunting music with lovely peaceful views and a house to die for 😄
Those crocus! They were gorgeous. Music was stunning.
Gorgeous! So surprised they bloomed the first year!!
bulbs are the gift that keeps giving - thanx!
I would plant “blubs” too if I had any! Lol, sorry I had to tease y’all 😂
Well done ladies. It is such a joyful mood lifter when those sweet colors pop up.
Awesome video! You both do an amazing job!!! 😊😊😊😊😊
What a beautiful place to live. So peaceful .
I have bamboo in my garden and it's well behaved. It's old, has formed a lovey clump, and is wonderful for staking plants and creating teepees and temporary trellis in the garden. I haven't purchased a garden stake for twenty years because my home grown bamboo ones do such a good job.
Lovely! Such a beautiful and welcome sight at the end of a dark, cold winter! Even on the cloudiest days, the sprouts of color puts a smile on your face.
The flowers are beautiful. Well done ladies😊
My 2 favourite ladies Gail & Alex. Im so happy that the bridge is finished. Its like a fairy tale area where you live the house on the hill . Love it. Between the both of you ,you achieve marvelous things Well done
Those crocuses look lovely! They will probably spread out and thicken into a vivid bank of bright spring stars for the coming years, too. What happened to all the peonies? Will we see them in a later video?
The house and grounds are looking fantastic.
Hi Ladies 🦋🌷glad you got your freedom back with the new bridge! We have a Bridge being built nearby and it will take over 5 Years😮 Montreal workers don’t move very fast.
No tulips or daffodils? 🌷love the hyacinths must of smelt sweet in your home ☮️🇨🇦💜
Beautiful
They look really pretty well worth the hard work 🌷🍀🍄🌱✨💫
Loved seeing all of the different Crocuses bloom. What a beautiful spread in front of the mossy wall. Shwoo loved them too! ❤
Hi from America. I saw your Lost Tower videos not long ago. I'm trying to catch up on them. They are all very interesting. I must say you two seem like super nice people. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
If the stigma of the blue/purple crocus are crimson, they are collected as saffron. I wish I could garden again!
Lovely
The flowers are really beautiful. In America, a lot of the time we buy the plant with the bulb on the bottom of the plant
Beautiful, so lovely, you did a great job.❤❤❤
Beautiful! I miss crocuses.
Nice! I can almost smell the hyacinths.
February 6th, the day the bulbs bloomed and the date I was born
Great to see you back. Have missed you both
Beautiful vlog! Thank you. I just adore this channel! Sending hugs!
the bridge looks amazing ladys.
Beautiful flowers! Here in PA, USA, my crocus flowers only bloom for about 1 week. I was so impressed with yours! Gorgeous.
Love the flowers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very pretty. My favorite time of year
you win best editing on every video
Gail and Alex, oh how I love your videos! Bulbs are a great choice, it is a real treat to watch them pop up every year, and the bamboo!!! Please let us see how the bamboo does in your area❤
Lovely! I lived where I had a HOA ...Home Owners Association and my grass started growing early and I got fined for not mowing which would have cut down all my flowers before they bloomed! I was in the state of Georgia in southeastern US. NEVER an HOA again!!!
So pretty! Love the variations of the purple ones absolutely love your snow drops! I saw them in the distance!
Your lovely home looks like a castle on the hill 🤍
They look wonderful! It's a dream of mind to have a yard of spring blooms like these. Not sure I will ever be able to afford to own my own olace though so for now I watch videos, and enjoy walking by local homes that have early spring flowers.
We have a town in Michigan called Holland. Lots of Dutch traditions and they have a big tulip festival in the spring
The flowers are so pretty!!
Gail, that stone you pulled at the end had to come from the wall. 😮
Hi Ladies! How wonderful the bridge is finished! 👍☺️
The Crocuses and Snowdrops look beautiful!😍 And your house must have smelt amazing with the Hyacinths! 😁
Thank you so much for such an uplifting video! 💐💐🫶🏻🇬🇧
I would love to see some affiliate links for your hat and clothes Alex!
Gorgeous flowers ladies
How lovely! I'm in New Zealand so perfect time for me to get some bulbs in. Thanks for the reminder. 😊
I have also had bulbs from Farmer Gracy and they have been a great success, tulips and different types of daffodil.
Another great task fulfilled! Is there nothing you cannot do! 😊 ❤ UK. (Elgar music) You will both have a 'fulltime' job in God's New World to come!
Those flowers are gorgeous so many different kinds & colors . You girls do great work on everything you touch. Have a fantastic weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Bridge looks very sturdy .
By the way, did you know that birdsong opens the flowers? 😊 The Shwoos are adorable roaming around and the field of flowers are beautiful with the mixture of those colors!
Gorgeous film with such lilting, uplifting music and stunning scenery. You and your home are so inspired that the blossoms and beauty you make just grow and grow. Thank you!!!
They turned out really lovely a great show of Springtime to brighten the garden. Well done. I have never seen orange Crocus so I better look out for some of those.
Bulbs are so satisfying!! I have lots of iris & daffodils planted in my yard in Alabama. Love inspired me to plant some crocus!! They were gorgeous!! ❤
Lovely results!
All your work paid off beautifully! Simply charming!!
Well they turned out real nice.
I plant bulbs every year as we have critters who eat them. Love tulips and hyacinth, only get 1 or 2 of the crocus they r tasty. Glad your's came up. They are beautiful!
You can harvest your own saffron now! (That will be considerably more work than the planting...)
Alex' electric augering made me grin. We usually just use a sharpened stick with a cross handle.
Considering how well they proliferate you probably could have planted them more sparsely. But that way you had a nice display in the first season already.
I can imagine over the next couple of years them multiplying. I love your moss covered wall behind them. Music beautiful as usual.
Beautiful job ladies. Wonderful video.
very cool 👍🏻😎 beautiful Excellent job ladies!
How lovely it must of been!
Lovely! Love love love bulb-gardening.
I have the fondest memories of planting daffodil bulbs with my mother on an equally beautiful day! Splashes of colour , as Alexandra said at a less colourful time of year 🙏🏻
omg this is great i love springtime so much! kind of sad it's already gone for the year but oh well 😊
Stunning
well done ....lily of the valley snowdrops and mini daffodils would look great
Pretty 🌷🪻⚘️
The bulbs look healthy. Can’t wait to see. And then there they are. Beautiful!
It’s so exciting to see the first fruits of labor, isn’t it? If you plant roses, ground ivy, nettle 🫣😬 dandelion, burdock, onions and garlic, you have an arsenal of medicinals that can be harvested for free! The roses are the only ones that might need care. Also, it would be fun to see you start a pumpkin patch! They are excellent for dietary supplements for cats and birds (and humans, of course). If you get around to a pond, algae (spirulina) is also a superfood. 😊❤
Loved the episode! Thank you for sharing!
The carpet of flowers is magical. 💕🩷🌷🪻
Wow, beautiful.
Looking good Ladies..the flowers and colors are a delightful sight :)
The crocus introduces a lovely element in front of your wall - well done
So beautiful
😊😊😊 it took 7 mo. to complete that little bridge .wow looks beautiful. ❤❤❤
Thank you! It didn’t take 7 months though, this is just 7 months later. It was finished in a week ☺️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent
We love Farmer Gracy ,their bulbs are excellent and well packed .We'll be getting more.
Love the orange ones and all of them
Well I think you could call that an amazing success, looks beautiful. Take care and thank you for sharing 👏🙏❤️
As usual, the music is perfect! Can’t wait to see the results!
I have the bulb augers and I love them! Just have to have the drill on reverse.
You two ladies have a wonderful and peaceful place it so beautiful just like you two. I so much enjoy your channel,
I have always wanted to get hundreds of bulbs and plant them using the broadcast method. Just toss them like seeds and plant them where they land, alas I don't have a pasture. 😞
🙋♀️❤️. What lovely memories you are making together!
