    Eli, it looks easy, but behind the scenes, the time you take to set up the cameras, get the audio right, set up the script and ideas for what you want to do, and then, after you have filmed it all, collate the media, edit all the clips and upload it to RUclips takes a lot of time. Your passion for gardening shines through with all the time and effort you put into the above.
    So thanks for this, and keep at it, as your content is engaging and informative. Thank you!

    Totally agree Eli, I watch whatever you do, even if it does’t “interest” me, because I am invested in you two. I like you two, imagine if we bumped in to you, would enjoy a beer and a chat. You are good people, fun people. That’s natural. You can’t invent charisma. Think your followers will probably agree. Pity you can’t chuck in the day job, post 3/4 times a week! Cindy x

Even though I garden in zone 2-3, gardening is still gardening no matter where you live in the world! Your channel is a delight to watch, your stories make mine okay and sort of gives me permission to garden whatever way that I am - just begin and I can change things as I learn from others. It’s always good to see how other people ‘do it’ - with passion and humour! I love your enthusiasm and energy! Thank you for all your effort - it means so much to me! ❤

However, it's YOU and your personality and life shares that make us look forward to our visits with you. And, If you need affirmation of that, just read the bulk of the comments below.

    I found you when I was looking for inspiration ahead of getting my first greenhouse. I stayed because you made me laugh and I love your style. I love making a cup of tea and hanging out with you both and seeing what you’re up to. I especially love when you’re sitting down together and laughing at your bulb purchases or just planning stuff out and chatting.
    Kate was obviously a rare appearance until fairly recently 😂 but when you phoned for help to reach something high up- the tall person company or whatever you called it and Kate came- I was helpless.
    Your recent video about how gardening can be boring encouraged me to go and get on with the boring stuff that just needs done even though it’s so cold outside. And wonky shonky has made it into my head as a more natural way of saying just get on with doing stuff and it doesn’t have to be perfect. Here’s to a happy gardening year Eli and Kate and not having to work so hard 😊

Teaching is great but your love of gardening and your witty dialog is my favorite part of my Sunday. I would never tell you what to film. I will be here if you just turn on the camera and read the newspaper silently and upload it without editing. I am here to watch someone who loves gardening and her sassy sidekick. I will say that I loved when you taught Kate how to plant and grow flowers. Her genuine reactions and thoughts mirrored my own when I started all my plants from seed last year. It was fun and refreshing and I loved her spade. Big Hugs and can’t wait for more of you this year

    I prefer watching channels where I can actually relate to the gardener. Like your channel, Naturally JB and Jessie at Plot 37. You are experienced gardeners, and the 'how to' is informed and interesting. What bugs me is when a novice gardener moves from the human interest stuff (starting an allotment etc) and into the 'how to' and gives out glaringly inaccurate info due to their own inexperience. I think 'people are watching this: learn before you teach!'
    I love it when you show Kate stuff, and when Kate shows you woodworking skills. There you get the best of both worlds. I love the little reminders you sneak in about what you are doing and why. But mostly I love seeing your garden evolve, and seeing you and Kate working and relaxing in your garden. The change in emphasis is very welcome: enjoy what you are doing. We enjoy watching!

    I 100% endorse your decision to put out video's YOUR way vs. what the viewers are looking for. Be yourself! You stated that your full time job allows you to post these video's. Then you should post them with the format and content that is YOU!
    I am a 67 yr. old Gardener from New Hampshire USA. I have been watching your you tube video's for about 2 yrs. and LOVE them! Content, expertise, enthusiasm, humor, laid back approach and the accent always brings a smile to my face!
    One request, don't stop giving Gardener Scott a hard time!
    If your viewer numbers go down, I will not be one of them!
    Bring it on your way, and I would be surprised if your viewer numbers did not increase!
    God bless you and Kate!

Sometimes you just need a change to keep from getting burned out. It's like getting a breath of fresh air. When you make it fun and relaxed for you, it'll come through in your videos. Looking forward to gardening and having a cup of tea together in 2024.

    The show has got to fit in with you guys first and foremost as you have to prioritise work cos as you say the mortgage has to be paid. I think you’ve said before you are a technician at the college so It make sense that you want to produce a professional video. But What’s the point in doing it and spending all that time and effort on it if it doesn’t allow you both to live life as well? I’ve learned so much from you guys but also I’ve got to know a little bit about you two along the way. It is like having a cuppa with an old friend watching you. Could you start up a buy me a coffee link to help pay for the videos? Looking forward to the new Eli&Kate.❤

You grew, matured, evolved … and you’ve taken your followers along with as they also matured, changed and evolved too. Yeah, change can be scary, but oh boy, it can also be so much fun.

    Do what works best for you and brings you joy. Take time off and recharge, rest, heal. I'll be here whenever there's a new video.
    To be honest I subscribed because of your positive personality and humorous banter in the comment section. I really enjoyed sharing things about my own garden with you and this community. How to's are nice, I also enjoy them but mostly I'm here pretending the pele on the other side of my red fence are a nice Scottish couple and not the lowlifes that are there. (They have unscrewed a section of their fence paneling so they can come over and help themselves to our water, electricity, and anything ripe for eating.
    You might be asking how do they help themselves to our electricity. They bring an extension cord and plug it into the outdoor outlet. For the water they just turn it on. We speed leaving hoses out, but they just brought their own. We've now got (more)cameras set up outside to hopefully catch them better than we were being able to.
    If they were in a tight spot and had asked us I would have said yes or worked something out with them, but the keep denying it's them and they watch for us to get home then run over and "remove the evidence."
    It's much nicer to pretend I have nice neighbors on the other side of that red fence.😊

    Been watching since you got your first hot bin (and all the learning experiences that you went through with it).
    Your 'how to' videos are ace but the thing I've enjoyed watching was how to garden.
    That includes how to grow a carrot but it also includes having the cup of tea, learning a new gadget/toy and sometimes learning a new technique to store garlic.
    Your channel is a how to channel just not the way some viewers want. Your whole channel is a "how to garden" and I love all your content not just those particular videos.
    Because of you showing me "how to garden" with up and downs, wins and challenges (you only lose if you give up) my first raised beds are going in this month. Front garden south facing and 110m2.
    Thank you, keep being you and keep doing the things the way you enjoy them most.

    I know all to well how that feels. It gets to the point to where you feel like you HAVE to do something, instead of enjoying what you're doing. And that kinda takes the fun out of things. Instead of a Hobby, it becomes another Job or Chore.
    Thats probably why I never really opened up my own channel to my techniques of gardening and my how to videos. It's not that I don't have the skills to do so, just I don't want it to take away from what I actually enjoy. I love watching the plants grow, I love spending time out in Gods creation helping to plant seeds that God will sprout and I will tend to. For me, it's a way for me to feel closer to God, My Dad and my Grandfathers and Grandmothers.
    Dad is no longer here nor or my grandparents and there's times I think of questions to ask on how to do things or just want to share things with them, but I can't. Thats ok, because I know they're watching down on me and probably evening helping me in some way or another.
    Point is, Do what makes you happy and try to stick with that. If it brings on more views or doesn't, it still made you Happy. And THAT's how it should be.

    Great vlog as always
    I always find it difficult planning out where to grow once seeds have germinated,
    And of course what seed varieties to sow 🤔 there are so many! I’m big into flower sowing and have so many I started off in August for spring and summer, all covered up as it’s in the minus temperature in Berkshire and staying that way all week. Veg sowing and growing I got into last year, so keen to get going
    And sowing along with you too, on the flower seed sowing why not try Statice they are so beautiful and dry out so you can make a display for the house perhaps !
