    I love how France recycles everything. I wish the USA did a better job of recycling. Your fence is beautiful! I've never seen one like it before with the slats. Do you have snakes where you live? I was thinking about that when you were cleaning the stream. I really enjoy your channel. I've been a subscriber for several years. Blessings to you and Mike from Virginia, USA.

      Yes we have snakes but nothing too harmful. Everywhere should process recycling thoughtfully. It does take time but it's worth it

    Hi Jane and Mike. A brilliant week's work. You have been busy. 😃 You're right though, best to have taken advantage of the unusually cold weather and done some jobs before it heats up. I've been back in my winter clothes again this last week. Been freezing here in North West England too. Very strange for June. The weather forecast is so far looking promising for next week so fingers crossed it's accurate.🤞 I've been doing much the same and finishing off the last gardening jobs ahead of the warmer weather, that's if we do actually get any. Your fencing looks fab now and how nicely the flower pots finish it off.👌 Well done to you both. Thanks for letting us in again. Really enjoyed it.🤗😃

      I to am in the north west of the UK and totally agree that we need 2 layers of clothing to be any where near warm. For me that’s Jean, long sleeved tee shirt and a sweat shirt or fleece. I too have trying to get in front with sorting out my garden in the few hours each day it isn’t raining.

    The weather may be chilly but the flowers are loving it. Everything is so green and hopefully the fern is happy in its new spot.
    A good declutter is great for the soul, sending it all to recycling a big ✔️in the box 😊
    You are both doing a good job.😊
    Please post footage of the critters digging the tunnels
    Thank you Mike and Jane for a great video 👍🪴

    We haven't even bothered putting in our window air conditioners yet here in the WVa mountains. It's warm during the days but cools down nicely at night.
    Usually, we need a.c. by early May! It's inspiring to see the hard work you and Mike do most days. I'm so impressed with your stamina and perseverance! I work hard...but only for an hour or two at a time and maybe only every second or third day! 😅

      I am the same. If I overdo one day, I pay for it for two to three days.
      We have had cool weather too. And a lot of rain. It’s hard to get in the garden to pull weeds.

    The fencing turned out so nice, especially with the pots of flowers in front! It seems funny to be planning for winter when it's only June! But we will soon be canning and freezing for our winter meals.

    Jane, this June we have been burning so much wood! We Need the Fire going to dry the house out, everything is so damp with all this Rain. Luckily we Had already stocked up on wood, but I don't Remember ever using that much wood in Summer..next week the actual Summer Is coming they Say...I believe It when I don't have to light the woodburner anymore🙈

    • @FrugalQueeninFrance

    That is a nasty plant and is stays really nasty for up to 3 years after it's died. I wouldnt even know what to do with that much of it. The smell truly is foul. 😢

    Nice today in North Carolina. High 70s to low80s. Cloudy and a sprinkle but we are getting dry, need a good rain. I had my first cherry tomato last week and my first Celebrity tomato today. Lettuce is done, squash, peppers and cucumbers have flowers and baby fruit. Love your garden.

  • @carolynm9798
    @carolynm9798 3 месяца назад +1

    Oh! So jealous of cool weather. We have had a hotter than normal June! 34 d C today and our AC died (18 y/o)
    We spent the day in places like church and the library to stay cool. New AC tomorrow…and yes, funds in sinking fund available.

    We need to implement decheteries in the US. I HATE going to the stinky landfill and knowing most of what we take there will just sit there forever. the French are so much smarter and conscientious about how they deal with waste.

    Beautiful garden to visit. You have had another very productive week. Think I spotted geraniums in your pots by the gates? One of my favourites, very underrated and last on and on. I have them in hanging baskets and they usually last right through until October. Nothing quite like hanging washing out in the sunshine, although we're a bit restricted here as both my son and I get really bad hay fever!

    • @FrugalQueeninFrance

    Wow,great amount of work have been done and still plenty awaiting. Super beautiful near the water. What a difference when you cleaned it around. Yes, I believe you about the smell 🥴 but it's worrh it. I was awaiting to see the fence once is ready. It's looking great. Simple and stylish. Congrats for the new fence.🥳 You two are such a team. Really like when you run solar. Smart.
