- Bonjour!
This hopefully is the last vlog in which all you see is me gardening :)
My parents and American uncle and aunt are coming for my birthday so I want to get all the final chores done so the garden will be beautiful for us to enjoy the sunny days ahead.
So I hope you enjoy a pretty silent vlog and my butt... as you'll be seeing me garden from the most unflattering angles. I tell myself: I dress for the jobs and work I'm doing, not to look good on RUclips, don't say I didn't warn you LOL

My favorite thing about your videos is that you don’t feel the need to add dialogue to your actions, just you and Tiggrete gardening!!
thank you
I had no idea pheasants lived in France ! I assumed they were a North American bird !😯
I love old books. It is a special treat to find a note of affection written inside. Happy birthday sweet thing. 🥳🎂🎉
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday! Your gardens look beautiful. Those lilacs! I hope you have a wonderful visit with your family.

Was perfect to watch with my morning cup of tea. The sounds of the birds singing, the flowers dancing in the wind and the cows grazing the fields fill my heart with so much gratitude, what a beautiful world we get to live in. I hope you had a wonderful birthday with your family🫶🏽

It all looks lovely, just ready for visitors xx❤❤
We fully enjoyed sunny days in the garden this past week! It was perfect!
Your vlogs are so pleasant that I could spend an hour watching each one. I think you have a lovely life.
Thank you!
Wishing you the best on your special day. Happy Birthday!
Merci and thank you for being here!
How wonderful to have your family with you on your birthday, hope you had a wonderful time. Your terrace looks so inviting. Happy birthday ❤
Thank you!
Really like the varied plant plotting and spaces throughout an apparently fairly large property. Whoever does the camera pan/edit does a first rate job too. Happy Birthday...mine was May 1st and at 77 I cherish every bit of life now. Keep enjoying life! 😉 😊🍺🍰🍾
Thank you! I film and edit myself. Still learning every day but really enjoy doing it!
Our winter temperature in Sth Australia can get down to -4 and the Oleanders do very well without protection.
Yes the man at the garden center told me there are a few different varieties and some can stand as low as minus 15 Celsius. I do see them at multiple places in the villages around me and I guess it really is all about the soil, the wind and where it sits.
Happy Birthday! Beautiful video as always❤
Thank you for being here!
Hope you had a lovely birthday with your family, Marloes. 🎉
Thank you
Those blue books were beautiful.
Happy birthday Marloes! 🎂🎉 the birdsong is just so beautiful 🫶

Beautiful vlog Marloes! The meal at the beginning was spectacular looking and I know that this is just a hint of what will be in your Cookbook! Your videography continues to be next-level, giving us glimpses of your life in the countryside of France in a simple and elegant way! Thank you Marloes and Happy Birthday to you🎈🎂
Thank you so much! I really enjoy making these videos but often question the quality and there is a problem again with my audio... But in the end I tell myself my intention is to share beauty and feel good vibes so I am grateful to hear you enjoy them! Merci.
@@FrenchCountryLife it's easy to become self-critical. The clarity, the music, the pace and the overall quality for us viewers is truly top-tier.
Fantastico posto.. 👍🌹
Happy birthday to you with your family. That’s a beautiful gift 😊
It sure is!!
Please share how you keep the gravel so clear of weeds! Happy birthday!
weeding every day!
Root cloth underneath the gravel.
@@annemiekvandorp4457 yes correct we have that too. It still doesn’t prevent weeds though as grains / seeds from plants fall in the gravel and grow but because they can’t root you pull them out very easily
Wishing you the best birthday and time with family enjoyed in your beautiful surroundings!!!
Merci!
Happy Birthday!
🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Have a wonderful Birthday! Everything looks beautiful

Thank you so much Lesley!
Happy birthday Marloes 🎉❤your garden and country side looks beautiful ❤
thank you!
Lovely.....and Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy Happy Birthday 🥳🎉🎁🎊🎈🎂🎉🥳
thank you!
It looks like there is new growth coming from the roots on the plant outside the greenhouse. Cut back what has died and the new growth will thrive. I think you will be amazed at how quickly it comes back.
thank you
I think you mean the one right by the door? That is a fig tree that we've kept in the greenhouse during the winter and hope to plant somewhere. We had one by the swimming pool that really didn't like it there and never gave fruit. It unfortunately didn't survive the building works of the septic tank back in 2021, so we're trying again with this one!
Happy birthday!🎉❤ What a beautiful video, thank you! (ALL your videos are beautiful, but I don't comment enough!)
Thank you for being here and for your comment!
Joyeux anniversaire ! c'est sympa d'être aidé par le minou pour labourer le terrain ! merci pour cette vidéo reposante (pour nous en tout cas) c'est très relaxant de voir les autres bricoler et jardiner ! les lauriers ne sont peut être pas morts, je tenterai de les tailler, on ne sait jamais ! merci du partage
Merci! Tigrette me suit un peu partout et surtout elle a adoré gratter la terre où je venais de semer mes fleurs :)
Pour les lauriers, j'avais coupé les tiges et elles étaient tout sèches et mortes malheureusement. Mais je suis preneuse de tout conseil pour mieux faire l'hiver prochain pour le laurier que j'ai acheté pour cet été!
@@FrenchCountryLife j'ai longtemps gardé mon laurier rose en pot en terre cuite, sans le rentrer l'hiver mais en mettant un voile d'hivernage lors des températures basses (j'habite en région parisienne, essonne). A l'automne dernier je l'ai transplanté en pleine terre car je trouvais qu'il était étouffé dans le pot et l'hiver dernier qui n'a pourtant pas été très rude, je l'ai paillé avec de la paille de lin mais il n'a pas bien supporté cette transplantation, il est tout moche et n'a pas fleuri. Il va peut être s'adapter. En tout cas, en pot, je l'ai gardé plusieurs années. Normalement il faut les rentrer en hiver. Bonne continuation !
That book sounds interesting
Happy belated birthday.
thanks!
Ha Marloes, heel hartelijk gefeliciteerd! Een hele fijne verjaardag gewenst met al je dierbaren. Nu begrijp ik hoe jij aan dat strakke lijf komt. Tuinieren :-) Alles ziet er prachtig uit, geniet er van.
Dank je wel!
Joyeux anniversaire.
Moi mon olivier je ne le couvre pas du tout. Il est devant la maison, couvert par le balcon. J’habite en Moselle, il fait aussi très froid.
Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience!
Thanks 🙏
bon anniversaire madame ...it's always a post- card yours vidéos
Merci à vous!
Winter protection: burlap works well, too.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Do I wrap it around the pot or the plant as well? And do I close it or leave an air gap at the top?
@@FrenchCountryLife Wrap it around the plant that is being kept in the green house but leave a bit of breathing room. You don't want to choke your plant. Make sure you have a pot that cold hardy. I live in Northern Germany - similar climate as yours.
Gefeliciteert fijne dag/dagen
dank je wel!
Happy Birthday. The cat has found a warm place to sleep.
She sure did! She loves all the fresh soil on the flower and vegetable beds 🙈
Can you add a link to where you purchased the umbrella and stand from, I need one exactly like that for my French jardin in the Charente.
I found it at our local Weldom (which is part of the brand Leroy Merlin).
Je peux demander où vous avez acheté votre salon de jardin? Il est très beau
Il vient de chez Castorama. Je l’ai acheté en 2021 donc je ne sais pas s’ils l’ont toujours.
What type of bird was that, walking along the road?
pheasant
yes indeed. The female was there too but she ran into the field. They looked so adorable together ❤️
Marloes, you need to water the plants
I do and I did but the leaves turned brown very quickly after wrapping the plants for the winter… could also be the soil was still wet from all the rain the plants had. Hard to say what exactly happened
Did you know , as much as I love Oleander, they are poisonous to kitties. So be on the lookout.❤
Yes I know. To humans as well!
@@FrenchCountryLife Well now THAT is good to know! Not that I have any plans to eat any anytime soon! LOL Enjoy your day
@@glennmartin346 😂
Aberdeen uk😊
I know that you cover the plants with thick paper. In plastic they can not breath.
Yes it was a special breathable wrap.
Are you born in march? Aries?
No 😇
Happy Birthday 🎉
merci!
Happy Birthday and the garden looks amazing! 🎉
Thank you!
