Because of you, Eli and Kate, I am no longer going on a holiday trip! Instead I have bought a GreenStalk 😂😂😂. Years of pleasure instead of 4 days is a bargain in my mind. I bought a 5 tier Leaf because of the constant gales here - hopefully less chance of being blown over.
I actually mentioned dehydrating them in the videos, don’t have a dedicated dehydrator as we wouldn’t use it enough to justify the cost or the counter space but we can dehydrate in the air fryer 😁
Always appreciate your teachings and comedy. As a hard of hearing person, I'm challenged by the music in this video however. Narration was soft and background was a bit "obvious." Couldn't hear. Video looks lovely, as usual.
Hey I meant this for you but missed your comment but It’s not just you, a couple of folk with standard hearing have commented as well. Unfortunately I can’t alter it after publish but Would you mind awfully, I if use music again like this, would you mind being my go to dude to check for me and let me know if it’s rubbish? As someone with disabilities involving cognition, I absolutely appreciate when rubbish stuff from the “normal” world forgets us. Would help me out so much but also, appreciate it would be a drain on your time so feel free to tell me to get lost 😍
@@eliandkatejust my 2 cents worth in observation of sound on all videos/shows/movies. Sometimes I need to use my headphones and some recordings are not in stereo and that’s odd when only one ear (my bad ear) is getting sound. Some clank on tables, crackle bags, ect and that can be annoying with headphones. My issue is for me to understand a strong accent I need to turn up the volume anyways😂 many Acorn and BBC shows. It’s not just this small bit in your video-I find the professionals who make films are Really bad at adjusting the music or background noise. It’s so loud on some shows/movies I can’t hear the dialog and I’m sure everyone understands that. I can’t go to theaters either as it’s just too loud, which I really don’t miss going anyway I just wish they would get a clue because without dialogue how would anyone know what’s going on 😂. Thx for being a great listener of your followers 😊
An idea for herb prunings: I fill small bags like jewelry pouches and the like with herbs so they dry out a bit. Then I put them in underwear drawers or in linen closets to keep away critters. If you use storage containers in plastic they get a really funky smell in them sometimes and the herb pouches help with that too.
Ugh, oregano and chives. Love them both, but they are so aggressive. I started spearmint and peppermint and wondered how to keep them all in check. I’m definitely deadheading those regular and garlic chives this year. I love the fragrance of the garlic chives blooms, but the seeds started taking over the asparagus bed and they aren’t easy to pull. I’ve been trying to get oregano out of a flower bed from previous owner. It grew for many years to an impenetrable mat. I’m trying another variety of oregano as the flavor just isn’t there on the Greek variety.
Really love your videos but I’ve definitely no space for the mini or tall planters you’ve invested in. Lovely but not good for me. Hope you’re plants prosper xx
Looking great, you two! I love to put my chive flowers in a bottle of vinegar to put on my salad. It's like chive flower salad dressing without any oil in it.
Great video .... loved to see you cutting back & dividing your herbs .... Im always abit scared when they get big & I usually end up just ripping them out & starting again .... now I wont .... Ill cut back instead 😊😊 See you Wednesday 🌻🌻🐝🐝🍄
I hope you are working on commission for Grow Towers, I think their sales must sky rocket whenever they feature in your videos 😁. Loved Kate's reaction when she saw the new Greenstalk and then buying all the plants to go in there 😂 That was a great masterclass on looking after herbs as I am very guilty of letting them get out of hand. Great video as always 😊
Hi Eli, I was surfing RUclips and watched an episode of Growing a Greener World. The host was reviewing plant pots and he included pots called cow pots which are made from cow manure. I just ordered some from Amazon here in Canada and my roommate wondered if you have heard of these or have tried using them. From Linda Desmeules, Sudbury Ontario, Canada ps we are in zone 4b. Love your videos by the way.
Moving to Wednesday might just help your views and have more people commenting. Sunday is the day when I get bombarded with videos, some of which are perfect for a Sunday, like yours. Others, I wait on them until a weekday, conflict and Sunday don't fit my life.
Yeah everyone seems to have changed their publish day to a Sunday recently but the change is more to help us as publishing on Sunday evening means my entire weekend becomes about making a video. Hoping this will help spread the load a bit.
Freeze herbs (pureed, usually) in a small-cube ice cube tray. Dump the cubes into a bag. Use the 'fresh frozen' herbs over the winter when the 'garden fresh' herbs aren't available.
Hi to you both. Ohh Eli I'm the same. I have just harvested a lot of herbs, I make parsley butter, chive butter, garlic chive butter. Wrap tablespoon portions in cling film and leave in the freezer. Great to grab for cooking. Also cheese and chive Scone's are lovely. Put stems of rosemary into fancy bottles of olive oil to give to friend as gifts, you can also do this with your chillies later in the year. I also dry a lot of herbs for winter as they are so expensive. Oh and make pesto with the basil. I like growing red basil too which adds a bit of colour, you can also do basil oil. Lovely to drizzle over pizza, salad and pasta. There is so much you can do with them, I would like to see what you choose to do with them. Take care for now Eli & Kate x
It looks fabulous, especially the herbs. I just can't get comfortable with those stacked planters, don't know why that is. But then I can't stand those oval metal troughs that seem to popular, either. Oh well, each to their own. I dehydrate chives and add that to a home-made soup mix.
I think they are probably good for small things like herbs and small spaces. I wouldn’t like taking them apart to fix soil every year. I believe I seen they take 1.5 cf of soil for each layer. I have heard they can tip and think they should be tied to a post if kids were present. Of course everywhere in the states we have high winds in severe storms.
Ooh love the flower tower! We dry all our herbs by hanging them up in the barn. Also make herbal teas and even cough medicine out of thyme. Herbs are so versatile. Enjoyed the vlog as always😀
Heya Eli, can I ask - are your pruners 'Okatsune'? I have them saved in my wish list as they are said to be some of the best you can get - just wondering if they are, how do you find them? Thanks!
Hi Eli & Kate, I'm only 3 minutes into this and have had to stop as the music is making it too difficult to hear what you're saying. I'll try to continue with subtitles but they are notoriously bad so I just wanted to let you know that this one isn't as accessible as usual. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it, and thanks for sharing anyway x Edit: And just as I hit send, the music stopped! As an example of YT's bad subtitles, you say "herb bed" and YT says "hair bed" 🤣
Would you consider making an oregano oil, or tincture, great natural antibiotic for those colds and winter things. The garden is beautiful. I use Oregano spray to help with bugs in the garden.
Nice herb garden! So I definitely learned something new about chives. I had no idea they were so hardy and prolific, or that the flowers were that gorgeous (or edible). The greenstalk has pride of place in the garden, it looks beautiful. Another lovely and informative video, thanks you two x
Chives are a little too hardy for me sometime, I just can’t keep up with them. We sowed a few seeds about 5 years ago and this is the result every year.
I always loved your Wednesday blooper reel. 😂 Glad you’re loving the greenstalks! I planted 2 more yesterday and am trying to plant out more from the greenhouse to make space for starting more seeds under cover. 😊
Glad to see a video from you today. I’m out in my garden doing some weeding and mulching plants are doing really well happy my niece is home from veterinary university passing everything another year and a half to go when she will be a licensed veterinarian. The really good news is that butterfly bush still have some leaves yellowing, but it has new buds on it. Looking a little better. Think I’m winning the war with it.
Oooo only 3 days to wait for the next video. Epic!! I think I’m going to have to get a Greenstalk. The more I see them, the more I covet them. Loving the herb trug. Those chives are so dreamy! 🥰
@@eliandkate 🤣 For some reason, the only videos I get regularly on a Wednesday are Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers. And Seth is taking a 2 week break. I'll have NOTHING on Wednesdays starting next week! ;D
A comment from Ron instead of Jan: those windows in the shed. Are you freaking kidding me. They are pristine clean, spotless, streak-less. We are clean and tidy around here but how in thee world do you do it? Seriously, how do you do it??? I wash windows and within the week, birds have poo-d, rain/pollution happens and a spider builds her nest! How. Do. You. Do. It????.
@@eliandkate the only comment you will ever get from Arthur is “will you feed me. i am so hungry”. Shelties are always hungry, and he is fed regularly.

Have to say, despite our crazy winds here, never had an issue with the greenstalks. They don’t budge 😁😁😁
@@eliandkate Good to know, thank you.
i love my second greenstalk i went for the lime green wasn’t sure if i had dropped a clanger but it’s beautiful.
Oh that’ll really give you a beautiful contrast in the garden… everything will work well with that 😍😍😍
I've reserved a pale pink one. It'll live in my conservatory through the winter months.
You should buy a dehydrator and dry the herbs for the winter. I love using my dehydrator. I love your garden, your hard work pays off. Lx
We do that also, but I found the Greek oregano just tasted like hay 😅. I’m trying another variety. Any suggestions are welcomed, thx.

Love, love, love the tower of flowers 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼
Me too Mark. I can’t help myself from looking at it every day 😁
I make herb butters, garden herb salt and my own dried herb blend, to use all winter long.
Us too
Tower of flowers is a great idea. It's a great theme for spring. Looking forward to Wednesdays now.
Really love your videos but I’ve definitely no space for the mini or tall planters you’ve invested in. Lovely but not good for me. Hope you’re plants prosper xx
Looking great, you two!

I love using the flowers 👌
Great video .... loved to see you cutting back & dividing your herbs .... Im always abit scared when they get big & I usually end up just ripping them out & starting again .... now I wont .... Ill cut back instead 😊😊

Absolutely not
Just divide and give the spares away

Alas no.
I just love the greenstalks. They really are amazing when you only have a small space.

Herbs are awesome
I’ve always said, they are the gateway drug that gets folk into gardening…
I’ve been staring at my herbs in the garden trying to figure out how I can manage them. Thanks for the inspiration. Your GS is beautiful. ❤️
Go teach ‘em a lesson 😂
MMMM you said a magic word "mojito"! YES GIRL! I'm in!!
😂😂😂😂
We're did you buy the stacking flower planter
From growtowers.eu
Hello to you both, can I ask did you buy your greenstalk planter in the UK
We did…. Link is in the description or there’s a whole video about them from a few weeks back….
I out my lettuce in it
Very enjoyable video, I could almost smell all those lovely herbs 🤤
Oh the smell is the best bit!!!
So you can getvthe Green Stock tower over there now?? Sweet!!
Yeah we have a European supplier…. So em…. I might have gone mad
The Vegtrug of herbs looks great but Kate is going to be doing a lot of cooking with that little lot.
Lots of storing….. freezing, oils, pestos, dehydrating lol
There are only so many herbs you can add to dinner 😂😂😂
The chives are far to big for that herb bed it's best in a pot if you don't have room in the ground in the garden
Ach no…. The bed is MUCH bigger than it looks:)
Heya Eli, can I ask - are your pruners 'Okatsune'? I have them saved in my wish list as they are said to be some of the best you can get - just wondering if they are, how do you find them? Thanks!
LOVE LOVE LOVE them
Way better than my felcos
@@eliandkate Ok definitely getting some then 😁 Thank you x
Your herbs are looking great eli, we'll see you Wednesday ❤🎉
We have a fridge full 😂😂😂😂
Admiring the herb bed - so nice that it is waist level - no bending!
It’s fantastic. It’s designed so a wheel chair fits under it too
Did you say 'The Terror of flowers'?
!
Oh definitely

Chives seem to be my arch nemesis, can’t seem to grow them from seed
They are crazy here… I can’t stop them growing.
Those were grown from seed originally about 5 years ago
Mid week!! I’ll have to set a reminder!

Home remedies aren’t really our thing
But we eat loads of oregano 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Make chive flow vinegar, it’s the best
