- Planting a hedge along the fence in the garden has been one of our priorities since the start. Now, a few years later, we can see clear progress that we're excited to show you 😊 It's been raining quite regularly this summer, so we went to the woods hoping to find some mushrooms, and the results exceeded our expectations 😍

Love your attitude about this bag and not caring about what people will say. kislux You are right keep your head up and no your priorities.
Loved your choice of music for the romantic fire and wine ending to the video. Thanks, guys❤.
Thank you. It was such a nice evening 😊
Love to see how the garden is coming along. In years to come when you are completely secluded you'll be able to look back at these videos to remember how it all started out. The nettle watering must take a very long time but the more love you give your plants, the more they will reward you ❤
Thank you! 😉 We can't wait to see how the garden looks in 5 years or so. Hopefully green walls everywhere 💚 We've noticed that the plants really like the nettle compost tea and they grow better, so its worth it 😊
Peter, the egg/mushroom ensemble looked delicious. It's great you are able to forage from the forest and harvest your fresh greens from your garden.
Yummy dinner from the forest and the garden 😊
All your work is paying off with a beautiful garden/hide away. Congratulations!
That you. Yeah, all the work is definitely worth it when we see the results 😊
Lovely to see your garden is maturing and the mushrooms harvest was great, you both must be so happy you took the challenge to buy the property and look back to see how far you have come, well done you guys ❤️
Thank you. We really are happy when we are in the garden and when we see how everything is growing 😊💚
The garden is soooo beautiful and restful. You are both looking good. Prayers and Blessings to you both.
Thank you 😉
The garden and meadow are looking wonderful! The hard work over the years is paying off!
Thank you. We love seeing the progress 😊
A perfect fire to end the video.
Glad you liked it 😊
Been a while, catching up. Surgery 26 and 27 finish. Love you 😍 guys ❤❤❤❤❤
Hopefully you'll feel better. We are sending positive energy, Kristine 😉
Guys, I am shocked at how huge parts of the are. I remember you planting the little ones all over. It’s going to be amazing in another year or two. Boy we are getting old
Hi Greg, we are also always shocked when we see pictures or videos from the first year. There were no shrubs or anything, and when we later started planting, they were so tiny. We are all getting old pretty fast 😀
I am glad you showed us what you use the mushrooms in cooking.
It is an easy and yummy way to prepare them 😊
I liked the longer hair on Peter and the face fur. I kept expecting him to brush hair out of his eyes like some movie star. 😊 Then it got shorter!
My problem with hedges is that they eventually get garbage trees in them and it is a never ending task to keep them out.
The hair always changes, but it was still the same length in the video. It's just sometimes I use a comb and style it a bit 😀 We wouldn't mind other trees in the hedge, because our garden is natural, and we don't care that much if there are other things growing in the green wall. We have space for it, so that is definitely an advantage 😊
Wow so awesome like always the garden is beautiful have a nice day lovely couple
Thank you, happy you liked it 😊
Wow guys, your garden is more and more beautiful, a real refuge where you can escape from the "miseries" of this world. A corner where you can "bien Vivre". A hug R and D 🐝🌿🍀🍀🍀🐝
Thank you, R and D 😉 We are so happy that the garden is becoming our little oasis 😊💚
Fascinating meadow tour! I enjoy seeing the plants. I Lear a lot seeing you gathering, cooking and eating the bounty of the forest and garden. Every time I see elderberries here in the USA I think of Peter and Tommy in Czechia! 😊
Thank you 😉 So cool with the elderberries, haha. We love them 😁
Beautiful and peaceful xx
Thank you 😉
You two are so cute.
Thanks 😁
thanks for showing the Saskatoon berry shrubs. l did not know about Saskatoon until l watched your video. l live in Scotland and was able to buy three shrubs from a local supplier. Thre healthy shrubs have been delivered and now planted in my garden. Thanks to you l hope to have Saskatoon berries in future summers. You have a fantastic amount of land and the climate is similar to northern Britain so l enjoy hearing about successes and failures you experience your suggestions help and encourage me with my garden endeavours. 🌹
Your meadow is inspirational. Another lovely video. Regards, Peter & Roy
Thank you, guys 😉 Happy to hear you like our meadow 😊
Two Little Riding Hoods with their baskets collecting mushrooms in the forest.
I can't deny that I find it sweet but at the same time it makes me nervous. What if by mistake you pick some poisonous ones? I almost prefer to eat flowers!!! Lol. I know, I know, I'm a dramatic person.
The warm lyrics of that beautiful song "Oh, dandelion", that lit bonfire and that summer night, an impressive closing for your video. What else?
Until next time, "mushrooms hunters".
Super thumb up.
Hi Liliana, it would be fun to see your reaction to a meal made of mushrooms and flowers, haha 😀 We only pick such mushrooms which we know 100%. You can't take anything you are not certain of. Mushroom hunting in the Czech Republic has a long tradition, and some kinds of mushrooms are really well known. Glad you liked the song at the end of the video. We enjoyed the evening by the fire 😊
🇲🇽👋Saludos de Mexico🤗. What a terrific idea to make your hedge out of a whole variety of shrubs and trees, so much better than putting the same plant. And of course my personal favorite, Peter the chef😋. We love Tommy and Peter💕💕
Thank you very much 😉💚
I like your garden
We are happy to hear that, thanks 😊
I can feel your energy 😊 I'm also eating my mushrooms your way, good to know, yummy. Hope your hedge are growing fast, privacy is important 😊 you guys have a great weekend. Till I see you again, good luck🎉
Thank you. Mushrooms with eggs are so tasty 😊 Have a great weekend too 😉
Well done fellas..Looking productive for sure.. Kindness your way..Lochness Scottish Highlands..
Thank you, Neil 😉
Remind me of Vangaze, two guys moved from Netherlands to a french farm they are restoring.
So nice. They certainly have a bigger task on their hands with all the restorations, and we concentrate more on our garden, fruits, veggies. But life in the countryside in general is so pleasant 😊
Big love for the mixed hedge. Puff ball ? The yellow gills with many spores.
Thank you 🙂 Yes, a puff ball. The one with the yellow part is called in English 'Red cracking bolete' 😉
3:58 I know you guys probably already know this but when you have a lot of grass clippings decomposing they take away nitrogen as they rot. Soil doesn't gain nitrogen until after they are composted. All the plants would grow much faster with some sort of free nitrogen added to the soil. It doesn't look like the grass is ever fully composted because it grows so fast.
Oh and love the shorts!
That's interesting and not what we experience here in the garden. Because we grow pumpkins and zucchinis in these piles of old grass clippings and the plants grow amazing (very fast and big), and these plants love rich soil full of nutrients. Doesn't look like they miss something. The grass clippings are decomposing gradually, so it must be enough 🤷
Glad you liked the shorts 😁
What you call dustballs we call puff balls...and have a lot of them in California. We have chanterelles and morels in our redwood forest. I've never seen Oak Mushrooms before, but they look fantastic. You are great foragers!
Thank you 😊 Puff balls are so nice, and we were happy when we found the giant one on the field road. There should also be chanterelles and morels growing here, but they are quite rare, harder to find. We found one morel growing in our garden last year and it was delicious 😁
Wonderful tour, and nice progress. Saskatoon Berries are named such as a marketing move. I don't know how well it works in Saskatoon, but there are several species, including one native to Europe. It would be interesting to plant a mix of them. They are sometimes called Shadblow. 'Blow is an old English word for tree blossoms, and Shad are a fish related to salmon. The name comes from the fact the trees blossom at the same time the shad begin swimming up the rivers.
Thank you, that is so interesting about saskatoon berries or shadblows 😊
🥂 much LOVE ❤ from Sunny Spain 🌞🥵
Hi Paul, thank you 😊😎
We have Saskatoon berries on our farm. I love to pick them. Wonderful for pies. You found some amazing mushrooms. Picking mushrooms is like a treasure hunt. You are so lucky!
That's sounds very good, David. We really enjoy Saskatoon berries. And exactly, mushroom hunting can be really like a treasure hunt 😁
I've just discovered you. I'm delighted to be a new subscriber. Have a fabulous summer! DA (Vancouver, WA - USA)
Hi Donald, welcome to our channel. Hopefully you'll like it here 😊😉
❤️❤️❤️
Love seeing the meadows of Wildflowers ! Like to think some of them were from the 'bombs' I sent. Nice ending with the campfire & a glass of Wine.
Some wildflowers definitely could be from that. We are happy there are various kinds. Thanks 😊
Your "garden" is turning into an estate!😊
Thanks 😊 We want it to be our slice of nature at home 💚
Your mushroom scrambled eggs look delicious, Peter. ❤
I mentioned to my husband that I never thought of adding mushrooms to our omelets. He gave me a dirty look! (he's not fond of mushrooms...) 😆
You need to try it when he is not home, haha. It is really good and something that people here make quite often 😁
Your garden is getting more and more beautiful! Congratulations for your work 👏. And those mushrooms look delicious 😂
☺️❤️
Thank you 😊 The mushrooms were yummy. Hopefully we'll find more this year 😁
@@tommyandpeter 😂❤️
Když si vzpomenu na vaše začátky, ten progres na vaši zahradě je top! Strašně si cením tvůrců, kteří mají tady tento odpočinkový "slow down" vibes content. Závidím a fandím vám, užijte si léto! F
Velmi ďakujeme 😉 Super, že sa ti páči náš relaxačný štýl videí. Snažíme sa tak zachytiť skutočnú pohodovú atmosféru na chalupe, fakt radi tam trávime čas 😉
Very nice update, gentlemen !
Thank you 😊
Yes, Peter, that color of begonia is simply gorgeous and I've never seen such large blossoms like that! Would you call thar color "salmon" or what?
Yeah, some kind of orange, could be called salmon 😊
I'm not keen on mushrooms, But the way you add egg and salad , it does look yummy.. 😍😍😍
It's a simple but tasty meal 😊
Great video Guys ..i make the nettle tea ..and i agree about the smell🤣 but its realy good for the plants
Thank you, Simon. Great that you agree with the smell, haha 😀😀
Hi
Maybe plant some kiwi fruit also
We did! But it is still tiny. It's a mini kiwi with small fruits, the only one that we can grow in our climate 😊
@@tommyandpeter it's normally takes 3 to 5 years to produce better size fruit
the longer hair is much more attractive
I was wondering how you guys could have such a big garden ? Did you buy the land when you bought the house?
Yes, they were selling the whole thing. It's a former farmstead (although it is not totally uncommon that normal houses in the villages here have quite big gardens too). The garden had been a plain field of alfalfa before we started transforming it.
Pretty soon you'll be able to cut the grass in the nude
Yay, exactly what we hope for 😁😀
