  • 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
    Thanks again so much for being here, for supporting my channel with your likes and comments and the occasional supethanks! Thank you for sharing your stories, your thoughts and suggestions in the comments. I love reading each and every one of them and always tell myself how wonderful my subscribers are and that I'd feel like having a coffee with all of you. Thank you for being here!

      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.

      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!

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.
