- You've already seen our elderflower fritters, but this year we have a new recipe for elderflower cookies. Let's put it to good use since there are so many elderflowers everywhere. Then let's have a look at our garden beds. They're all fully occupied by now, and we're ready for the harvest 😊

Hi guys, if you enjoy our calm slow garden videos, you might also like to check out Mossy Bottom 😊 He is a popular guy from the UK, and we really like his channel. He had been living on a farmstead in Ireland and recently moved to Finland. The channel is about gardening, house and barn restorations, self-sufficiency and sustainable living on a homestead 💚
If you'd like, you can start for example with this relaxing video from his homestead in Ireland: ruclips.net/video/shR4xhM-Obk/видео.htmlsi=KoS-rMgO2QC3MHdO
Cooking with Peter! Yay! Gardens, flowers are looking great!
Yay! 😁 Thank you 😉
Every couple is a "garden"
It's truly beautiful to see a couple who loves each other but also completes each other, some in the kitchen, some in the garden like you and not only that but also through many different passions that are cultivated together. You are a beautiful example. - R and D 🍎🍒🍰🍪😍
Thank you, R and D 😉 Having a garden is amazing and it's nice how we like doing different tasks 🙂
Yay Cooking with Peter and Tommy's amazing garden tour. The cookies look yummy and the garden is growing lots of yummies too! Good job guys!
Thanks, glad you liked it. We can't wait for the veggies to grow bigger 😊
Nothing beats cooking for your man. Nice to see you reaping what you sowed. 😉
Exactly! Thank you 😉
Hi guys, top tip from an old boy who has made gallons of elderflower wine over many years, use a dining fork to pull the flowers from the stems, it's so much quicker than using your fingers. Always collect the elderflower florets when they are in full sunshine as that's when they produce the most scent. Great video, always fun to see Peter giving a cooking tutorial and the garden is looking like it's going to be very productive this year.
Thank you for the tip 😉 People already advised me to do that with elderberries and it went so well when we were making a liqueur from the berries last year. Not sure why I didn't think of it this year with the flowers 😁 Home-made elderflower wine sounds great, we have to try making it one day 😊
We are just finishing planting our summer garden.. your work for these past years is really giving back.. good jobs..
Thank you, Roger. Hopefully everything grows nicely in your garden 😉
Hi guys ! Love your garden ( I am watching your older videos too 🤗) I am always starting to smile when watching , thank you 🇩🇰
Thank you, Ineke. Makes us happy to hear that 😉😊
Yes he's such a nice and interesting guy. I've enjoyed his videos for some time...but you're still my favourites of course guys! 😊
Those cookies look amazing. I love the flavour of elderflower. Always lovely to see the progress in your garden and you guys looking so happy and healthy 😊
Aww, thank you. We also feel happy when we are in the garden 😊 The cookies were such a nice discovery, we were pleasantly surprised and we recommend 😁
I've never had elderflower cookies. They look fantastic!
Thank you. We love them now, it was such a great discovery 😁
You two are adorable.
Thank you 😊😁
Cooking with Peter never fails to deliver . Have you considered getting a Kitchen Aid stand mixer? I can easily make so many things that I can no longer do with my hands (helpful for the aged 😊). Thanks for the video ❤❤
Thank you, Greg 😉 We have quite a big food processor with various functions in the city, but I don't actually use it that much. So I haven't felt the need for another machine, also Kitchen Aid would be quite expensive for us. We'll see in the future but for now I just like simpler recipes where I can do everything quite easily 😊
Hi guys! I have never heard of elderflower cookies, but they look delicious! So enjoyed your garden tour! Everything seems to be flourishing! Your land is beautiful and perfect for growing all the flowers, shrubs, fruit trees and vegetables! Great video! Peter, I love your T-shirt! Take care guys! Hugs!
Hi Peggy! If there are elderflowers in the countryside around you, you can try making the cookies one day, they are very nice 😁 Thank you, glad you've liked our garden 😊
I ike to see you both in your natural habitat!
Thank you, and we really enjoy being in the habitat 😁
You have developed quite a farm. It looks good. Well done.
Thank you, glad you liked it 😉
A lovely couple. You’re very lucky to have such a large garden 🪴. I can imagine it planted with loads of wildflowers for the bees 🐝 and insects 🐞. Maybe a beehive or two? ❤
Hi Matthew, thank you 😉 We plant quite a lot of various flowers, and we also transform some parts to a wildflower meadow, so bees and many various insects love it here. There are beehives in the surroundings, so for now that is enough 😊
@@tommyandpeterI look forward to seeing more videos ❤
If you can get it, it might be an idea to put straw underneath your strawberries. This will help protect them from the slugs and snails, but also keep them clean. The fruits are so so low to the ground that when it rains, the splash back will coat them in mud !
Thank you. We know it is often done and we've been thinking about it, but it's never high on our priority list, because we usually have million other tasks to do. And it's not that hard to wash the strawberries in water when they are a bit muddy 😁 And luckily for us, it seems that slugs in our garden prefer other plants and they let the strawberries be 😀
@@tommyandpeter We obviously have more rain and mud - which can bruise the fruit! Ha! Ha! I love seeing you use different techniques to achieve such wonderful results.
@@tommyandpeter The straw would also help them not get mouldy when they are in contact with wet soil.
We pick them every other day, so luckily there is not much time for them to get moldy. It would be better with the straw of course, but for now the losses because of this have been small, so it's ok. We'll see in the future.
@@tommyandpeter I don't know if you can receive British television. But, if you can, I would recommend that you watch the BBC's 'Gardeners'World' programme. It is shown every Friday evening at 20.00h,. from March through to November. I think that you will find much to enjoy - and you will get lots of ideas !
👏🙌👐clap, clap. Great garden. Love it. keep up the great work.
Thank you, glad you liked it 😊
The garden looks wonderful Guys, Great video and so good to see both of you.
Thank you, Ron 😊
Think about clipping off the flowering tops of your garlic so that more energy goes into the bulbs. You can use the tops in various recipes. I saute them with shrimp or with omelettes.
It's so nice that you have no animal problems in your garden. I can't grow anything outside of a tall fence because of rabbits, deer, and ground hogs! Sad. 🙂
Yes, we clip the flowers on garlic off and we eat them. We like cooking them with a bit of oil and salt for a few minutes, they are tasty 😊 We have various bugs and pests, also slugs (their season is starting now), but luckily no big animals that would harm the garden. Sorry to hear about your problems, that sounds like quite a battle 🫤
The tops of your garlic plants are edible. I forget what they are called. Thanks a lot for your usual great content.
They are called garlic scapes - we eat them. For us the best is to cook them for a while with a bit of oil and salt. Yummy 😊 Glad you liked the video, thanks 😉
I like your garden
Thank you, Anita 😉
Wow thats amazing
Thank you 😉
I'm going to try your recipe Peter but without the elderflowers, I'm reluctant to eat raw or cooked flowers. I know it's s preconception but I can't help it.
My granny used to grow some very fragant roses with very thin petals that she used to sprinkle on hot rice. It was never my thing.
Guys, those spinach(es) are beautiful and look very tender.
I can't wait to see all those veggies and fruits grow and you prepare exquisite recipes.
Kisses and hugs. Until next time.
Thank you, Liliana 😉 Elderflowers are very common here, people use them in sweet drinks and stuff like that mostly, they have a very nice flavor (better than other flowers). But we understand, when somebody is not used to eating flowers, it could feel weird. Spinach has been a nice success every year, so we like having it in the garden, of course 😁 We can't wait either for the veggies to grow big 😊
You could maybe use a bit of raisins instead of the flowers. But the cookies would be great even without anything, I think 😊
@@tommyandpeter
Thanks for the advice, I'm going to add dates. Kisses.
Interesting update, gentlemen. I guess this will be a good year for gardeners ! What about the pond ?
Hopefully a good year 😊 Next time we'll show the pond, the video is already edited 😉
@@tommyandpeter we too have tons of strawberries this year, it's a good start !
That is good to hear 😉
I've never heard of cooking with elderflowers which sounds really interesting. I've made elderberry preserves and that is a real treat. I don't know anything about honey berries, will have to check to see if they grow in the US. and lemon balm - grows like weeds under our 60 meter tall redwood trees which shade our front yard, limiting our gardening. I'm anxiously awaiting the potato harvest from the straw bed. That is fascinating!
When you have a chance, you can try making the cookies, they are really tasty 😁 Honeyberries are also called haskap berries, or something like that. We've seen videos of people growing them in the US, so it shouldn't be a problem 😊 They taste kinda similar to blueberries, but don't need the acidic soil. Yeah, we know that lemon balm spreads a lot, but we don't mind, we have a big garden and it would definitely be better than our terrible grass 😀 We are also curious about the potatoes, but nobody knows yet how it will end up with them 😁
@@tommyandpeter I've learned you need two varieties of honey berries to pollinate, and unfortunately only one variety grows in our 'planting zone' 9B. So I guess that is why I've never heard of them as we don't have them in our area of Northern California.
That's a shame. They prefer colder climate...
It looks like all your plants don’t require water other than rain. Are you worried about drought? You must also have fencing to keep out rabbits and deer.
We wish! 😁 Our plants do require water and we have to water them, we have garden hoses and we pump water from our well. The country house is in quite a dry area actually and we always hope for precipitation (in summer it's mainly thunderstorms, which are quite random). We got lucky in the recent moths with wetter weather, so we haven't had to water much ⛈️ Our property is fenced, so there are no rabbits or deer in our garden.
👍👍👍
You forgot the carrots, cantaloupe, and pumpkins
Tommy showed planted carrots during the garden tour, you need to pay more attention 😁 We grow a lot of pumpkins, they just weren't planted when we were filming this video. We'll show them some other time 😊
don't know how to feel about the phrase "thick bush"... 😅😅
Haha, feel free to feel however you like about it 😋😀
Never cooked with actual flower petals before in cookies. Wish that I could taste one. What is the flavor like? Best if eaten with ________. From where did this recipe originate?
The flavor is very gentle, sweet, flowery, a bit like honey. Don't know if you ever had elderflowers (sweet drinks with their flavor for example), it's like their scent is in the cookies. The cookies are best just like that, a snack or a sweet treat, you can drink coffee or tea with them 😊 I found inspiration for the cookies on the internet and adjusted it for myself 😊
Thanks for sharing..your garden appears to be doing well…I will clip your cookie recipe to use later, I only have enough elder flowers to make berries this year, I make health tonics with the ripe berries..😊
