Greetings from Japan, where I've just looked up a recipe for Japanese knot-weed! The first step is to soak the plant in water for 6-12 hours which mellows the flavor. Then the stems are fried in one tablespoon of oil until they soften. Add one tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and simmer. When the stems are cooked, remove them from the heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve. This is the basic recipe for any mysterious (non-poisonous!) green plant here: soak, start with oil, then cook in sugar and soy sauce, and finally top with sesame. Japanese knot-weed is called itadori in Japanese, so if you copy and paste this Japanese word into "search images" (いたどり), you can see some photos of various recipes. Perhaps Nathan could suggest that it be included on his restaurant's menu?!? Thanks for another wonderful video. It was great fun!
Love the generational friendship with Nathan and Phillip ,,,,, us older mature ones can learn from the young and vice versa… ..and yes I agree this channel deserves millions of subscribers ,,, best to you Anna , Phillip and girls …love from Florida USA☀️💕
I really agree about just using the outer leaves of chard instead of cutting the whole head, but I sequentially replant lettuce so that it doesn't have a chance to go to seed & turn bitter as it tends to do if the weather turns hot in summer. In a cooler climate Ahulani's system is best
This channel is the perfect combo of DiY, comedy, soothing aesthetics, and just charming people 👌👌 Also, can we please get Benoit, Nathan, and Phillip all together one episode? I'm not sure if that has happened yet, but i feel like it would be comedy gold 🥇
I always love when Phillips German-speaking side comes trough. Especially when he introduces words like Ribisel that are only used in Austria and South Tyrol. 😅
Card board under mulch will last at least a year or two, is bio-degradable and prevents weeds. Fertilizing near the plants is still and option and if you want fertilize before you put cardboard down.
It matters not what mundane tasks Philipp and Anna are doing-it is always entertaining, interesting and amusing. Nathan and Benoit are always an added bonus! ❤️❤️
Try using cardboard between the rows, think of all those Amazon boxes, pin them using simple T pins cover with mulch to look better. Cardboard will suppress the weeds and will disintegrate before next season. Some people use newspapers I think either will help.
Ditto, you deserve millions of subscribers, Philipp. Nobody else has a sense of humour like yours! Always worth the wait! Thank you. Rikki Biermann, Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦
Phillipp is very brave to take care of the roses with his delicate hands.I'm sorry all his friends are jealous of his success as an "Influencer". Not everyone can understand his genius must be shared with the world!! Excellent foot work fixing the roses!! Well done Nathan on staying employed a whole week!! Anna,you're so clever!! I would have know idea how to restore the chairs! I would have had to toss them and get new ones.Love what you did!! Nathan & Phillip should start a cooking channel for experimental ingredients!! Love from Vermont
You deserve 1 million subscribers and more love this Chanel, you are an adorable group of kind hearted funny and dedicated humans I wish you all the very best xx
Thank you for another wonderful episode! The pink roses are so gorgeous and your fix made them perfect! Such a pleasure to watch your efforts with the outdoor chairs, Anna, and your with the garden, Phillip. Best of all were the continuous laughs, chuckles and hoots from your wonderful humor, Phillip.
A great gardening method is Charles Dowding "No-dig" (and hardly any weeds) method. We started gardening two years ago using this and hardly have weeds to pull.
Another fantastic video....again, the humour, the teaching, the super gardening job on behalf of you Phillip and of course cooking with Nathan...I've learned so much! What???? Anna your ability to restore so many things while keeping up with Phillip and keeping cool. Nathan, you are such a great addition to the videos. Well done, all of you!
You need to do raised beds. I wish I could send a picture of mine to you. It stops all of that weeding and makes the garden a pleasure to grow and harvest. My husband made most of ours and you can do them cheaply but beautiful. Love your home and your video's. Thank you for sharing.
Love this vlog. Philipe knows a lot more than he lets on! Anna love the deckchair you made it look very simple but theyre a nightmare to sort. Good fun and the views of the chateau are really lovely. Good job on the kitchen garden! You're gaining a great following and very much deserved. 🤗💜🌹
We grow the Tung tree in America that Produces a nut that they get Tung oil from, they also use it in paint and ink for printers… it’s mildly wild here, but we do have farms that harvest the nuts and sell them to refineries! They are also somewhat large and hurt if they fall on you while picking them! Mixing with linseed makes a very nice durable waterproof finish… it’ll last for years! It’s similar to teak oil… does take some time to dry! You can use a bit of dawn dishwashing liquid or paint thinner to get the stain out if you do it while it’s wet! 😊
@@christinekaye6393 yes, you can use it on teak, it’s milder than teak oil, finish is just as durable and anytime you use an oil like this I would recommend gloves and at least a fan…. I sometimes light a candle in the room, not close by, but usually several feet away… I’ve learned that doing this reduces the fumes.. I wouldn’t recommend this if it’s a small room….
@@kenknight9873 Thank you so much! The table is in my dining room which is open to the kitchen and living room. Also there are windows front and back, so good cross ventilation and I can set my fan by the nearer windows. The candle is a good tip, and I have lots of protective gloves. You've been very helpful. It's a beautiful table, round with the grain set in matching chevrons. It's all sanded and waiting for the finish. Maybe will do it in autumn when it's not so hot.
I love watching these episodes every Sunday afternoon. Even though Phillip is sometimes ridiculous, I catch myself smiling at him, and even laughing out loud sometimes. I also love Anna’s very well done projects. Thanks for giving me something to enjoy. Love your little adventures. 🤗
Your videos are great. No matter how bad a day I'm having or what's going on in the world they always make me laugh. Thank you and keep up the good work!
The vege garden looked great and the Roses look amazing. Great job Philip. I love the banter between Philip and Nathan. Anna did a great job on the deck chairs.
My Sunday isn’t complete without your vlog. It’s part of my relaxation Sunday lying down on my favorite couch while the kids leave me alone. Thank you!! 👍🏼
Anna, this is exactly the tutorial I needed! We have a cast iron park bench and an outdoor rocker in dire need of wood conditioning! And you are NOT stupid, please do no speak like that about yourself....your children are watching and listening!
Its amazing how Phillip can connect with his audience. When you were talking about weeding your garden I thought "He needs to get a "weed wacker" and low and behold 10 seconds later he pulls out the "machine". Uncanny!
Hi, ihr Lieben. Jetzt, wo alles blueht und gruen ist, sieht euer Garten fantastisch aus. Anna hat einen geschmackvollen Stoff fuer die Gartenstuehle ausgesucht. Es macht richtig Spass und Freude, euch mitzuzusehen. Ich fuehle mich bei euch schon fast wie Zuhause.
Philipp, your roses are beautiful! All of what we in Texas call “yard” (not garden) is beautiful. 🌸 Your vegetable “garden” is great. I don’t know how you keep weeds or bugs 🐛 away. Ick. Nathan is just adorable. Your interaction/vignettes are just so clever and so much fun! 😂 Anna, love your chairs ! 🤗 Also I’ve meant to tell y’all that I LOVE your music for all your vlogs.
Pro tip for no weeds: high raised beds, and "no dig" method something like "self sufficient me" channel is doing on youtube 😉 I made 90cm tall and 7m long beds, filled them half way with wood, then wood chips and compost, and its trully brilliant! The only thing I'm collecting are veggies 😁 once you build them it's zero mantaince ✌😉
For a small project like staining deck chairs where you only use one or two rags, it doesn't really matter, but in case anyone doesn't know, if you have a bunch of rags with wood stain on them, don't leave them in a pile. The chemicals in the wood stain can make the rags set on fire if you keep too many together!
You have a huge lawn that grows the best mulch for a veg garden (assuming you don't use pesticides on it). Cut, gather, mulch, done. When harvesting the chard, you can take only a few leaves per plant, and it'll keep growing more. Same goes with leafy salads. This has been my morsel to feed the alforithm.
The garden looks amazing, so much better. Love how you repaired the roses, well done!! Anna, the chair looks amazing and once you have the other 3 done, you will see that is well worth it. Very professional and love the material. Your guest and your family, will love them!!
Even Nathan couldn't hold back his laughter.. hahahahahahaha.. Lots of fun in this video.. Anna, putting that new material on the deck chair looks great. I like it better than the dark material. I have the same looking striped material on the cushions for my patio furniture. (Ribisel = Red Current) The amount of roses on that rose plant is amazing. So beautiful.
The garden looks much improved and quite prolific. The chairs are amazing. Loved the weekly French lesson. Japanese Knot Weed is actually a very good remedy for Lyme and other tick borne diseases. One can make a tea with the rhisomes. In Eastern medicine it goes along with the philosophy that the cure grows along side the disease. As tick borne diseases become prolific, so too does Japanese Knot Weed. It is very high in resveratrol which fights the Lyme and other bacteria. Another fabulous video!
These are getting so good, with such a definite signature. From the dry wit, to the bumbling DIY, to the repeated musical themes, and of course, the highlight- the blossoming Nathan and French lessons, which is really mischief 101.
"I had friends before, but then I became a very important influencer, and they became jealous." I AM ROLLING ON THE FLOOR IN LAUGHTER. Your sense of humour, Philipp, is priceless. Aw, Ribisel... I haven't had them since I was a kid. And yes, the garden does look better that it was in the morning. :)
😂😂😂 Nathan, tu es fantastique 😂 !! Continues comme ça 👍🏻 Bravo Philippe, ce jardin potager prend une belle forme ! Anna, tres joli résultat avec ce transat ! C’est très chic ! 👍🏻 À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸
Clear zip ties work great for my roses. They don’t deteriorate with the seasons and are very strong. You won’t have that problem again! Your roses are gorgeous!
Philipp, try either grass mulch (from mowing the lawn) as a mulch under the plants. It keeps the humidity in the soil from evaporating too fast. I see that there is straw around your strawberries. If you have some left which is seed free, that can work too. At the end of the season, simply plow (or till) the straw, grass leaves into the soil. This adds texture and lightens the soil, aiding in water retention for the next season. I'm currently using seedless straw around my mesclun and leaf lettuce plants as our temperatures have been hovering between 30 and 36C all week. Humidex between 36 and 42C.... For the Swiss Chard, my mother used to boil the ribs and serve them with a sharp cheddar cheese sauce. At the end of the summer, towards harvest time, I parboil the leaves, cool them in cold water then roll them up in a small 'golf ball' size and freeze them on a cookie sheet for about 1 hour, then put them into a plastic zip tie bag and freeze them. I use the 'balls' as a substitute for spinach in the winter. Chard leaves are rich in iron and vitamins K, A, C & E, potassium and calcium. magnesium and manganese. All good for you for strong bones and teeth, reduce inflammation in joints and muscle aches. It is among my favorites. Just make sure that you rotate the crop every year as they like change. They also set nitrogen in the soil so you can plant peas or beans where they were the year before.
I was introduced to the no dig method this year and it is an absolute game changer 😊 less time weeding and more time enjoying my garden. You do get the odd weed from the seeds that birds drop but they are so easy to pull out.
OMG Philip - we are so alike !! While I was watching you balancing that rake on your hip, and then foot, my husband walked by and chuckled and said "that's something YOU would do" and I said "yup ... I do what I have to to get the job done!" Who cares if we look silly doing it? ;-) Another hilarious episode!!
Love this vlog. Phillip do you think we didn’t notice you trimming the roses with drone with that pass through shot? Pick two days out of the week where you go out and quickly weed part of the garden. Once you start catching weeds early it’ll be quicker to maintain. Add mulch to suppress weed also.
We also are overcome with knotweed here in the central east coast USA, but we call it kudzu. It overtakes all bushes and trees, it's a terribly invasive parasite. Miles of trees disappear under its choking growth - known here as "kudzu cathedrals." LOVE this channel! My new favorite. 🥰
Thank again for another great video so about the way we keep weeds from taking over the garden is we lay news paper down or paper bags and then put grass cuttings over the top. Great weed protector and can be tilled under every spring.
Philip and Anna you are quite the duo! Philip great work on the garden and amazing drone shots of the garden. I don’t believe your friends are jealous, I think they miss the joker! Anna great job on your garden chairs. And Nathan you add to the comedy! Thank you!
Omg Phillip! You were sending me over the edge with the rose hedge! Good job in the end! Love the lawn chairs! Maybe put down newspaper or cardboard with mulch or compost on top so you cut down on weeds in the garden?! Time saver for sure! Love watching the progress you have accomplished! I work at a select registry property in New Hampshire USA, and the attention to detail always makes people feel welcome!
Garden weeds: mulch with grass. We have a sweeper that attaches to mower and we go over the cut lawn with it gathering the grass clippings. I use them to mulch the garden and it helps to keep weeds down.
I find grass clippings too dense and prone to create dense smelly mats. Too much nitrogen. Better to compost them but one needs a lot of dry ingredients (carbon) to balance grass clippings!
Nathan is a gem. Phillip and Nathan together is priceless entertainment!
See Richard Perkins on you tube ……durable gardening techniques!!
"I'm bleeding...if you squish..."
"I don't make the children try it because I count on them to feed my through my retirement"

"The garden now looks better than it did this morning."
I clicked THAT bell button, just like you suggested!
Couldn't stop laughing at Nathan doing a happy dance and sneakily not trying knotweed
Well isn't Nathan the chirpy one today, i love it.
Nathan: What we really are is sorcerer's apprentice, we're trying to make a poison😂😂😂😂😂...... my herbal infusion almost choked me

Think I'm love nathan ❤❤
Love that silly smirk of Nathan. Looks like he is enjoying your humor!
Phillip really has Phantastic language skills: perfect German (of course) and Italian but also excellent french and English. Very impressive.
The Influencer balancing the rake on his shoe. Sublime.
Nathan and Phillip together is pure comedy, I always die laughing at them, I love the French lessons!

For a non-vegetarian version, it's also possible to add some bonito flakes during Step 2.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I will definitely try it! Warm regards from Normandy?

The garden definitely looks better, Philip. But so do Anna's chairs! Loving Nathan and his questions too. Another vlog full of fun. Thank you.
I just love Phillip and Anna as a couple! We need more Phillip and Anna time on camera together. So sweet when he calls her "my darling."
For chard and lettuce we don’t cut the whole head, but just the outer leaves. They keep producing into the Fall.

Raised beds for the garden really helps keep the weeds out, and it’s easier on the back
I always love when Phillips German-speaking side comes trough. Especially when he introduces words like Ribisel that are only used in Austria and South Tyrol. 😅
In Bavaria too
@@Sommerpunkte I am from Bavaria actually 😅 but at least in lower Bavaria where I'm from I've never seen it.
One of my fav channels. I love catching up with Anna and Philippe.
Card board under mulch will last at least a year or two, is bio-degradable and prevents weeds. Fertilizing near the plants is still and option and if you want fertilize before you put cardboard down.
Add mulch on top of the cardboard and around the plants
Yes I agree with you. Cardboard in the garden will reduce the amount of time spent weeding.
It matters not what mundane tasks Philipp and Anna are doing-it is always entertaining, interesting and amusing. Nathan and Benoit are always an added bonus! ❤️❤️
Try using cardboard between the rows, think of all those Amazon boxes, pin them using simple T pins cover with mulch to look better. Cardboard will suppress the weeds and will disintegrate before next season. Some people use newspapers I think either will help.
Agreed. I also use cardboard with leaf mulch on top. Works great.
Planting fabric is very effective as well.
Cardboard also attracts worms which is good for the soil.
Cardboard then cover with mulch
Came here to say the same thing!
Ditto, you deserve millions of subscribers, Philipp. Nobody else has a sense of humour like yours! Always worth the wait! Thank you.

Greetings from Nova Scotia. Love your videos!🌸
Cheers from New Brunswick 🦋
Fawlty Towers always springs to mind....the new Basil. Just love it.
I'm going to start posting your vlog link on my FB page - y'all are a favorite!
We use hay in-between our rows to keep the weeds down, when they come back just add more hay. Then next year till it all in.
Yes hay works excellent, but - only if it is well rotted so it doesn't spread more weed seeds from it. Clean 'Certified" hay will do!
The garden looks amazing, so much better. Love how you repaired the roses, well done!! Anna, the chair looks amazing and once you have the other 3 done, you will see that is well worth it. Very professional and love the material. Your guest and your family, will love them!!

I’ve told several friends about you lately. Your vegetable garden was an instant success.

Fixing the climbing roses back onto the arbor had me in stitches. Now I will always laugh when I see climbing over an arbor.
Just love this program makes me laugh and happy, keep them coming 😂
Charles Dowding no dig method..RUclips. Cover ground with cardboard, place compost on top, plant. If you don’t dig , you don’t disturb the weed seeds
Absolutely agree.
I hadn't heard of the Charles Dowding no dig method. Thanks so much for your post!
I was introduced to the no dig method this year and it is an absolute game changer 😊 less time weeding and more time enjoying my garden. You do get the odd weed from the seeds that birds drop but they are so easy to pull out.
Nice job on the chair! Nice weeding job! The roses look beautiful, now that you repositioned them. Always nice to see Nathan!
OMG Philip - we are so alike !! While I was watching you balancing that rake on your hip, and then foot, my husband walked by and chuckled and said "that's something YOU would do" and I said "yup ... I do what I have to to get the job done!" Who cares if we look silly doing it? ;-) Another hilarious episode!!
Love this vlog. Phillip do you think we didn’t notice you trimming the roses with drone with that pass through shot? Pick two days out of the week where you go out and quickly weed part of the garden. Once you start catching weeds early it’ll be quicker to maintain. Add mulch to suppress weed also.
Love the roses looks great!
We also are overcome with knotweed here in the central east coast USA, but we call it kudzu. It overtakes all bushes and trees, it's a terribly invasive parasite. Miles of trees disappear under its choking growth - known here as "kudzu cathedrals." LOVE this channel! My new favorite. 🥰
Thank again for another great video so about the way we keep weeds from taking over the garden is we lay news paper down or paper bags and then put grass cuttings over the top. Great weed protector and can be tilled under every spring.
Your gardens look beautiful! The chairs look great too.
How did this 26 minute video feel like a 5 minute one? ❤️🥰
Philip and Anna you are quite the duo! Philip great work on the garden and amazing drone shots of the garden. I don’t believe your friends are jealous, I think they miss the joker! Anna great job on your garden chairs. And Nathan you add to the comedy! Thank you!
Phillip you are the reason I watch. Your sense of humor is the best!
Omg Phillip! You were sending me over the edge with the rose hedge! Good job in the end! Love the lawn chairs! Maybe put down newspaper or cardboard with mulch or compost on top so you cut down on weeds in the garden?! Time saver for sure! Love watching the progress you have accomplished! I work at a select registry property in New Hampshire USA, and the attention to detail always makes people feel welcome!
Garden weeds: mulch with grass. We have a sweeper that attaches to mower and we go over the cut lawn with it gathering the grass clippings. I use them to mulch the garden and it helps to keep weeds down.
save your grass clippings and use them around your plants in the garden. they really help to keep down the weeds and they add nutrients to the soil.
I find grass clippings too dense and prone to create dense smelly mats. Too much nitrogen. Better to compost them but one needs a lot of dry ingredients (carbon) to balance grass clippings!
Looks fantastic. I would put railway sleepers around each of the garden beds and then in between put pebbles
I absolutely love your channel, so much humor along with a beautiful renovation journey.
