IDK - Well, unless you're not a warm weather person. I'm a winter girl - all year round, a veritable vampire where sun is concerned, but I do love olive oil, wines, pasta and lots of seafood, so coastal is best (anywhere in the world actually). I stayed in Alicante, a coastal city in Spain and they enjoy fresh catches everyday of the year.
Couldn't agree wuth you more. It's the real life quality that keeps me coming back time and again. And I'm getting so many ideas from Nicki and Carlo, which i can apply in my own home here in Kenya. Lovely!
I recall the first time i went to Italy I was about 12 years old we stayed at my grandparents home 10 acres of a beautiful hill top farm..My mom had asked me to go get some vegetables for dinner and I replied ok ma give me the money i will go buy it in the small town below ..She looked me in the eye and starting laughing ..She replied turn around the corner of the home the vegetables are all around you. I will never forget that and I am in my 60's now. The farm had everything you can imagine. silly little city boy.
@@NickiPositano oh i travel to Italy quite often still have a home on that property in Calabria ..and my wife's parents have a home in Abruzzo but i haven't been in a few years ...thats why i watch your videos ...i miss it so much
What a wonderful tour of Antonello’s garden. He’s so gracious and proud to share his amazing garden and wine making. As always, you, Carlo and Holly are a pleasure to watch and those views!!! Thank you for another wonderful video 🥰🥰
This is what life is about. This man is not lazy, hard work, this is why the Italians who left from the South and crossed the Ocean got successful in North and South America. Good discipline, survival skills and habits!❤⚘🙏
A garden takes dedication and Love!! I can tell the gentlemen cares for his and holds to old tradition's that should never die. You'll see that if people stray from this now ultimately the next generation will bring it back out of need. Thank you for another lovely video and your friend for sharing 🤗❤️ Love that Holley.
Antonellos garden is amazing, you know, i just wish they would take the children from the local schools, and take them round a garden like this, back to their roots, and inspire them to maybe think they can do this too, and to keep this tradition going. Thankyou Nicki, it was lovely to watch, and cant wait for the wine to be made. 🏴 xxx
Thank you Niki and Carlo. There is more useful information in this video than most gardening shows. It is very important not to let these traditional methods of food production be lost. Great credit is due to you for promoting interest in the old ways. I always look forward to your glimpses of life in Positano. Greetings from Ireland.
Well, the truth is roses are originally from Asia and may have passed to England with the romans so that rose may have existed in Italy well before England existed.
Love your videos The views are stunning and absolutely enjoy Carlo always working and creating such interesting things Your everyday life is a refreshing change from the everyday boredom from the quarantine here in El Paso , Texas N
What a treat this garden tour was! Here is Canada we are seeing an increase in young people’s interest in gardening so hopefully the same will happen in your area and keep the gardens going. It is hard work but as you said, so rewarding. And if this pandemic taught us anything, we would all benefit from being more self sufficient in more ways than now.
Ms Nicki, this video is epic !! You have shown so much of Positano and the surrounding areas that make me love Italy more !! It was so nice for Mr Carlo’s friend to show his property and it is AMAZING !! Thank you for sharing Ciao from the Eternal City 🌃
Thank you so much for the tour of Antonellos beautiful garden. It brought back wonderful memories when I was younger and my grandparents who immigrated from Serina, in Avellino to New Jersey in 1920 and had a garden much like yours and Antonellos. They would have loved having Carlo help them in their garden with all of his knowledge and helpful tips. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video Nicki and Carlo. I enjoyed your tip on how to eat a fig, Carlo. Very interesting! 😉
Very interesting! So satisfying to be self-sufficient. A lot of these types of practices are dying out. Farming, fishing, arts and crafts. It's a shame. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the fall for the grape harvest!
O loved it!!! The Italians knows how to live and how to maintain important and wise life style! Without focusing to much on the big cities consumerism.
I learnt a lot with your upload today! From growing fruits and vegetables, wine making, up to Italian tradition and culture!😉 A sustainable garden with a magnificent view!😍Thank you!😊
What an absolutely beautiful garden, the love and time spent to make it shows immense dedication. I hope this tradition does not stop with his generation. Thanks again Nicki, it something I would never be able to see with out you. I am going to watch again just to see what I might have missed the first time.
This is such an interesting and educational video I LOVED IT! Please tell Carlo we patrons adore all your vlogs Nicki - nothing is ever boring! che cosa? Carlo, nessuna versione beauty americana con pomodoro? (LoL) Grazie mille Nicki, Carlo e Antonello. Veramente interessante e informativo, mi è piaciuto moltissimo !! xxx
How Gracious Antonello was to share a bit of his paradise with us. To have a garden like this in such a beautiful place has been a dream of mine since being a child. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how amazing this garden was.
When I was growing up I always wished I was the child of a farmer, loving animals and seeing things grow! I was raised in the city though, and I still long to live off the land and eat from the work of my own hands! I am now in my late 60s and still deeply admire those who work so hard in their gardens, to can, make wine, as your friend does, etc. Thank you for sharing such a different way of life that is so hard, but so very good! Love this!
I think some of the younger generations will take on these massive gardens. I love them! My mother grew everything she could, as did my paternal grandmother, I am trying to get our garden to sustain us and have 15 different fruit trees, as well as vegetables and herbs. I love your videos! Many thanks from California.
Thank you for sharing your lovey visit to Antonello's bountiful garden! Your thoughtful and fascinating storytelling will definitely inspire future Positano gardeners! I love learning the unique ideas, incredible Positano life and culture from your vlogs.
Antinello !!! Adopt me !!!!!!! I LOVE THE GARDEN... I think it is HEAVEN to work in such a "rural" natural setup. And, JUST IMAGINE what MORE can be done to it !!! It is stunning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning..what a great film..thank you so much...I loved seeing the garden...during lockdown..gardening and growing veggies became more popular here in the U.K..maybe in Italy young families will re discover the joy of gardening and feeding a family from home grown vegetables. Gardening is good for our mental health...being outside..working on the soil etc they have found it helps with people's well being. You could send your film to Gardeners' World ( BBC) they asked for home videos and had one from Canada the other week. You should plant a Kiwi tree ? I had a bag of plums from a neighbour and inspired by you made jam . Ciao.
If it’s not too intrusive could you tell us a bit about Carlo’s family history in Positano. They must have lived there a long time and seen many changes. Love your easy going vlogs.
I am a keen gardener and have quite a large vegetable garden but Antonello takes it to a whole new level! I found this fascinating. Thank you Antonello for allowing us to view this amazing garden.
I love Antonello's amazing, productive garden. He's very knowledgeable . I hope I meet someone who likes animals, and likes to grow food and have an amazing garden with a view. If he likes to cook as well, that would be the icing on the cake.😃He also has to be a caring and loving fellow of course. 😀 Grazie Nicki + Carlo + Antonello for the tour of this fabulous garden. xx
A beautiful garden. I pray that people wake up to what they may loose. Growing up in Southern California, we had small farms they grew various vegetables and the families would have a small stand for people to buy. Now, the fields have buildings. You can't get the health benefits from fruits and vegetables bought in markets, especially "big box" chain stores, there is no taste! The taste home grown or bought from local farmers is so different and amazing. I have a small little garden and enjoy it. It gets me outside and enjoy the beautiful fresh air. We need more home gardens, even if you have a small space you can grow in containers. Thank you taking us along. Lets hope this will inspire people to preserve those amazing old gardens.
watched this twice already-interesting tour of Antonello's garden and wine making cave and what a delight for me listening to conversations in Italian-I felt I was right there on tour-thank you so much for your fantastic videos-take care
Thank You for taking me back! Antonello’s grape vines, wine press & wine cellar remind me of my Grandfather!!! Soo kind of You & Carlo to bring us inside the garden! I don’t think you know how passionate I am about every single detail You show & explain in the garden!!! I am soo grateful to you & your family! Antonello has a beautiful garden, those pistachios looked great! Kiwi & all his other vegetables! Grazie Grazie Grazie! You will be Blessed for bringing me back to my roots! All my precious memories!
Lovely video as always Nicki. I remember potatoes lasting a lot longer when I was little. Mum would buy a huge bag that lasted months in our dark larder. Lucky if they last a week now. I enjoy learning about how fruit and vegetables are cultivated to allow people to be self sufficient. The hard work and dedication that Antonello puts into his beautiful garden, must make him very proud. 🕊️👒🌻🙂
I absolutely LOVE your garden and food videos! I get such inspiration from the way you and Italians grow and use the local food and how people garden in Positano. Thank you for all the inspiration!
Stunning garden. I think people forget that you have to eat with the season and preserve what you can. The true joy of a garden is necessity and abundance . Work with the seasons and keep you in contact with nature. So impressed with that little slice of heaven. I'm lucky I have never had live in a time of live or starve times. My garden keeps me humble. Thank you for sharing this passionate gardener.
Thank you that was awesome. You are right it’s so sad to see these skills being lost...that’s why I also subscribe to pasta grannies. Once this knowledge is lost it can never come back. I would happily potter around those gardens .
deewaipio...a lot of young people also work incredibly hard to earn a living. Many would love to grow their own fruit and vegetables but city life isn't always compatible with this. Some have seen their workload increased since Lockdown; whilst working from home (money less so) and any leisure time they get is spent having a well earned rest 🕊️👒🌻🙂
My grandparents always grew vegetables in their gardens back home in Bermuda. They were always so proud to remind us that we ate fresh vegetables from the gardens and never canned veggies. I realize now how lucky we were and still are to have fresh vegetables. Lovely video🌺
What a delight to visit Antonello and his beautiful garden. I adore his passion. You can tell how proud he is of his property and all it produces. ❤️ The willow branches and how they are used is so inventive! It is a shame that these traditions may not continue. 🙁 thank you and Carlo for taking us on such an informative and picturesque experience 🥳🍇🧅🍈🥔
Love the whole priciple of growing, so passionate about growing your own is a joy to watch. I have never seen a pistachio either and love the inventive ways of growing. Yes it would be such a shame if the next generation would not take on gardening. Wish we had a bit of that climate in the UK.
The views are amazing and the fact that the people have learned to make such good use of terracing for their gardens is something we should learn more from.
Antonello’s Garden is Magical! Growing food for family is smart tradition passed on from the War time. Hope ur video inspires people to grow their own food! 🥝🍇🍅🍆🍋
Thank you for the garden tour, it was very interesting to learn about some of the traditional gardening methods and wine production. So wonderful that people such as Antonello keep this amazing knowledge alive.
Love that you're up to 20K; The garden is exquisite, and just prior to your talking about how young people aren't interested, reminded me of when I was young, and how I disliked working in my parents' huge garden, not fully appreciating the luxury of eating fresh organic vegetables; now I long for those days. Tell your friends that the work they put into their amazing garden does not go unnoticed, and it is commendable, and inspiring. I'll look forward to October! Love to Holly!
I LOVED this garden tour and all the detailed info (and I'm not even a gardener!) I wish I was younger and more physically able, as I would happily chuck everything and come learn to make the wine and continue the tradition. In past trips to Italy, I saw many little gardens growing up the folds between the mountains, and I loved to imagine everything growing down there just out of sight. Thanks for filling me in on what I imagined. I just love the ingenious set-up your friend had for getting the crushed grape juice down into the basement room for the next step in the process. I also loved how they run grape vines above on trellises and then plant potatoes etc. below them. Such efficiency! Great video!
Hi. So many complimentary comments this obviously touched everyone’s hearts. Both sets of my grandparents had gardens of vegetables from 1930s up to late 1970s. As you say , food for eating, no flowers and already the next generation stopped by moving into towns for work with smaller gardens. I think this current generation is starting to grow vegetables and flowers together, on a small scale. Unfortunately we don’t have heat and sun like you do for great tomato growing Can’t wait for Sundays vlog. Lovely vlog with Carlo and your knowledgeable and friendly neighbour. From Ireland 🇮🇪
Good Morning, Nikki & Carlo. We absolutely loved this video. You two have inspired my Husband, Sturg and I, to plant a garden in our backyard. We completely understand the joy you are talking about. We have eaten many bell peppers in different meals, I’ve made lots of pesto from our basil plants, we canned our first batch of tomatoes 🍅 and it was really enjoyable doing this together as a couple. I always look to yours and Carlos way of doing things in the garden. Very impressive and it works every time. We love spinach. Just being able to go pick some from the garden along with cherry tomatoes, or Roma tomatoes is the best! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I’ve watched them over and over. I never tire of your views, friends, kayaking and Holly. She’s the sweetest little pet. 💗. Can’t wait for the next one😉🥰
I am an urban gardener in Oregon, USA and I love all your videos but this has been a really special treat. Thank you! My dream is to farm in Italy someday. Cheers
Thank you Nicki for showing us Antonello’s amazing garden. His elaborate wine making system was fascinating, I truely hope he finds some younger generation people willing to learn and carry on this process.
Amazing as always. My Italian relatives in Canada still keep a lot of the Italian traditions. Some of my cousins and their husbands are continuing those traditions here. We have a garden and it’s amazing in the summer, just to go out and get fresh vegetables is so satisfying. A fresh garden salad is so much more tasty then the lettuce we buy in the winter months. We have even planted raspberries and blueberries bushes in our garden, so fingers crossed they grow. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely awesome Nicki. You live in Paradise. I never thought as a child that anyone could just pick fruit from the trees and eat it! It all came from the supermarket and my father only grew roses! I am blown away by this one. I know it doesn’t happen by magic and there’s lots of hard work involved but it’s so worthwhile. I will watch this over and over and share it. Thanks 🙏 x
Thank you so much! Last year a girl from LA was disgusted that we ate food from the garden. She said it was dirty and unhygienic and that made me so sad that she just didn't get it..
Nicki Positano You’ve got a tv program there in that garden and your own but it would be lots of work! We’ve got a famous cameraman in Charmouth who’s done Julia Bradbury’s Walks. I wonder if he’d give you some advice although you’ve likely got your own contacts in the film world. His name is Eric Harwood.
WOW this guy is a garden genius. How beautiful to use nature for nature (use of willows) The grafting of the female to the male Kiwi is also interesting....soooo interesting!
Dear niki thank you so much for this video it brought tears to my eyes looks like my grandparents garden in salerno back in the days I m Tring to recreate it in north london it has taken me back to my cild hood thank you so much
Many thanks to Antonello for sharing his beautiful garden and homemade wine-making process. I'm looking forward to your return in a couple of months to see the wine harvest in action.
Really interesting video, thank you and thank Antonello on our behalf. Also the definition on the video is amazing felt like i was right there with you.
Definitely one of your best videos. Learned new things and the views are spectacular! Yes, it's sad to see these old family traditions fading which is why it's so important to document them as you do so skillfully. Your videos are a joy and we look forward to them each week. They help us to keep our sanity during this crazy time and keep Italy close in our hearts. Thanks to you and Carlo for sharing your life with us!
That is a wonderful garden! Makes me wish I had more than a tiny balcony to grow things on. I love the idea of not relying on supermarkets for everything.
With plenty of fresh fruits and veges and a stunning view, this has got to be the happiest place on earth
I agree. I love how self sufficient people can be and how well the produce grows in that area.
I absolutely agree!!!😋🙌❤
IDK - Well, unless you're not a warm weather person. I'm a winter girl - all year round, a veritable vampire where sun is concerned, but I do love olive oil, wines, pasta and lots of seafood, so coastal is best (anywhere in the world actually). I stayed in Alicante, a coastal city in Spain and they enjoy fresh catches everyday of the year.
My daughter Gigi dated Felipe, before he married! Now he is King 👑
This an amazing documentary of a real slice of life over there. I just love it.
Thank you lovelyxx
Couldn't agree wuth you more. It's the real life quality that keeps me coming back time and again. And I'm getting so many ideas from Nicki and Carlo, which i can apply in my own home here in Kenya. Lovely!
I recall the first time i went to Italy I was about 12 years old we stayed at my grandparents home 10 acres of a beautiful hill top farm..My mom had asked me to go get some vegetables for dinner and I replied ok ma give me the money i will go buy it in the small town below ..She looked me in the eye and starting laughing ..She replied turn around the corner of the home the vegetables are all around you. I will never forget that and I am in my 60's now. The farm had everything you can imagine. silly little city boy.

@@NickiPositano oh i travel to Italy quite often still have a home on that property in Calabria ..and my wife's parents have a home in Abruzzo but i haven't been in a few years ...thats why i watch your videos ...i miss it so much
@@tsocanuck that's a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing!! I'd love to have a home and land with a garden like this one one day too.
Considering all the stairs, you climb, no wonder you look so fit. And as always, little Holly makes me happy.
That farm is so unbelievably diverse with both in/edible species. Italians are really doing farming right.
What a wonderful tour of Antonello’s garden. He’s so gracious and proud to share his amazing garden and wine making.
As always, you, Carlo and Holly are a pleasure to watch and those views!!! Thank you for another wonderful video 🥰🥰
I am in my 30s and lockdown made me realise how much more sense it makes to grow your own foods. We have a garden now!
This was wonderful I felt like I was actually there. It’s so beautiful a true garden of eden. Thank you for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was divine. I looked at another Amalfi video and ... well let’s say nothing compares. This is so real!!! Love it. Thanks Nicki
THanks Sally xx
So glad RUclips recommended your channel. It brings me so much joy!

So many fruits, vegetables and nuts!
Can't wait for the wine making.
Having wonderful diverse gardens like these is the absolute best way to live!!
An English rose amongst all that beauty..and as someone else commented so honest 🙏❤
Well, the truth is roses are originally from Asia and may have passed to England with the romans so that rose may have existed in Italy well before England existed.

Absolutely fascinating insight into your local culture and way of life...so interesting...and thank you to Carlo too!...love your channel Nicki...🇦🇺

Very interesting! So satisfying to be self-sufficient. A lot of these types of practices are dying out. Farming, fishing, arts and crafts. It's a shame. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the fall for the grape harvest!

Growing your own food, it really is a communion with the Devine, isn’t it? Thank you for this, truly remarkable 🙏
How Gracious Antonello was to share a bit of his paradise with us. To have a garden like this in such a beautiful place has been a dream of mine since being a child. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how amazing this garden was.
I'm from Philippines and I easily fell in love in Positano, such a lovely place!
When I was growing up I always wished I was the child of a farmer, loving animals and seeing things grow! I was raised in the city though, and I still long to live off the land and eat from the work of my own hands! I am now in my late 60s and still deeply admire those who work so hard in their gardens, to can, make wine, as your friend does, etc. Thank you for sharing such a different way of life that is so hard, but so very good! Love this!
This is the best Nicki, I could watch it over and over. So lovely, so real, such hard work to extract
a living from the land.
We just finished watching! OMG, it is soooo good!!!! So interesting, so educational! Love you, guys!
I think some of the younger generations will take on these massive gardens. I love them!

The gardens are so bounty full, I love to see how you make use of all the space , healthy and sustainable. Great video!
Antinello !!! Adopt me !!!!!!! I LOVE THE GARDEN... I think it is HEAVEN to work in such a "rural" natural setup. And, JUST IMAGINE what MORE can be done to it !!! It is stunning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING! So beautiful and even though no travel this year you are bringing us such amazing views. Thank you

If it’s not too intrusive could you tell us a bit about Carlo’s family history in Positano. They must have lived there a long time and seen many changes. Love your easy going vlogs.
That would be interesting to do but I would have to ask the family for permission
Fascinating and well done. Incredible views but even more, just the mood of the farm was a delight.

Hope ur video inspires people to grow their own food! 🥝🍇🍅🍆🍋
Love love that you grow your own food and thank you for a tour of that amazing garden of your friends. It brings back childhood memories for me
Thank you for the garden tour, it was very interesting to learn about some of the traditional gardening methods and wine production. So wonderful that people such as Antonello keep this amazing knowledge alive.
Love that you're up to 20K; The garden is exquisite, and just prior to your talking about how young people aren't interested, reminded me of when I was young, and how I disliked working in my parents' huge garden, not fully appreciating the luxury of eating fresh organic vegetables; now I long for those days. Tell your friends that the work they put into their amazing garden does not go unnoticed, and it is commendable, and inspiring. I'll look forward to October! Love to Holly!
THank you!
What an amazing garden. I always learn something watching your vlogs Nicki...thank you.
Thank you Nicki, for making them slightly longer!!!! Our favourite vlogger!!!!!
It seems like everyone in this area cherishes their land. I love it......so much goodness!!
I LOVED this garden tour and all the detailed info (and I'm not even a gardener!) I wish I was younger and more physically able, as I would happily chuck everything and come learn to make the wine and continue the tradition. In past trips to Italy, I saw many little gardens growing up the folds between the mountains, and I loved to imagine everything growing down there just out of sight. Thanks for filling me in on what I imagined. I just love the ingenious set-up your friend had for getting the crushed grape juice down into the basement room for the next step in the process. I also loved how they run grape vines above on trellises and then plant potatoes etc. below them. Such efficiency! Great video!
Beautiful garden😍. Thank you again for a fabulous video. Also Carlo thank you. Having the family in the videos is what makes it so real and special 😊
You're right. It's a shame that those traditions are dying. This is so rich, and amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Hi. So many complimentary comments this obviously touched everyone’s hearts. Both sets of my grandparents had gardens of vegetables from 1930s up to late 1970s. As you say , food for eating, no flowers and already the next generation stopped by moving into towns for work with smaller gardens. I think this current generation is starting to grow vegetables and flowers together, on a small scale. Unfortunately we don’t have heat and sun like you do for great tomato growing Can’t wait for Sundays vlog. Lovely vlog with Carlo and your knowledgeable and friendly neighbour. From Ireland 🇮🇪
And I though this video might be too boring!
Nicki Positano no way. Keep them coming 🌈👍
Good Morning, Nikki & Carlo. We absolutely loved this video. You two have inspired my Husband, Sturg and I, to plant a garden in our backyard. We completely understand the joy you are talking about. We have eaten many bell peppers in different meals, I’ve made lots of pesto from our basil plants, we canned our first batch of tomatoes 🍅 and it was really enjoyable doing this together as a couple. I always look to yours and Carlos way of doing things in the garden. Very impressive and it works every time. We love spinach. Just being able to go pick some from the garden along with cherry tomatoes, or Roma tomatoes is the best! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I’ve watched them over and over. I never tire of your views, friends, kayaking and Holly. She’s the sweetest little pet. 💗. Can’t wait for the next one😉🥰
Thanks so much!
I am an urban gardener in Oregon, USA and I love all your videos but this has been a really special treat. Thank you! My dream is to farm in Italy someday.
Cheers
Ohhhh my goodness, this garden has lot of fruits and is so so beautiful! God bless him!
Wow! what a beautiful garden with all excellent fruits and vegetables for healthy living. It's like paradise/simple living
That was interesting. Amazing how these hard working people produce such lovely food and wine.
Thank you Nicki for showing us Antonello’s amazing garden. His elaborate wine making system was fascinating, I truely hope he finds some younger generation people willing to learn and carry on this process.
Amazing as always. My Italian relatives in Canada still keep a lot of the Italian traditions. Some of my cousins and their husbands are continuing those traditions here. We have a garden and it’s amazing in the summer, just to go out and get fresh vegetables is so satisfying. A fresh garden salad is so much more tasty then the lettuce we buy in the winter months. We have even planted raspberries and blueberries bushes in our garden, so fingers crossed they grow. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely awesome Nicki. You live in Paradise. I never thought as a child that anyone could just pick fruit from the trees and eat it! It all came from the supermarket and my father only grew roses! I am blown away by this one. I know it doesn’t happen by magic and there’s lots of hard work involved but it’s so worthwhile. I will watch this over and over and share it. Thanks 🙏 x
Thank you so much! Last year a girl from LA was disgusted that we ate food from the garden. She said it was dirty and unhygienic and that made me so sad that she just didn't get it..
Nicki Positano You’ve got a tv program there in that garden and your own but it would be lots of work! We’ve got a famous cameraman in Charmouth who’s done Julia Bradbury’s Walks. I wonder if he’d give you some advice although you’ve likely got your own contacts in the film world. His name is Eric Harwood.
WOW this guy is a garden genius. How beautiful to use nature for nature (use of willows) The grafting of the female to the male Kiwi is also interesting....soooo interesting!
Dear niki thank you so much for this video it brought tears to my eyes looks like my grandparents garden in salerno back in the days I m Tring to recreate it in north london it has taken me back to my cild hood thank you so much
You are welcome Meriem!
Many thanks to Antonello for sharing his beautiful garden and homemade wine-making process. I'm looking forward to your return in a couple of months to see the wine harvest in action.
Paradise. Hoping young people pay heed to the older generation & carry on the traditions. Nothing compares to fresh produce from one’s own garden.
Kiwis growing on the side of the road...heaven!! 🥝
I see that there are many people who do not realize that this is hard work, the garden does not come up by itself!
Loved, loved this video. Antonello has so much knowledge to share. What a great garden.
Surely this is what it will be like in heaven! Thank you Nicki, Carlo and Antonello
Really interesting video, thank you and thank Antonello on our behalf. Also the definition on the video is amazing felt like i was right there with you.
thank you!
Definitely one of your best videos. Learned new things and the views are spectacular! Yes, it's sad to see these old family traditions fading which is why it's so important to document them as you do so skillfully. Your videos are a joy and we look forward to them each week. They help us to keep our sanity during this crazy time and keep Italy close in our hearts. Thanks to you and Carlo for sharing your life with us!
That is a wonderful garden! Makes me wish I had more than a tiny balcony to grow things on. I love the idea of not relying on supermarkets for everything.
Is absolutely beautiful and fascinating Antonello garden and his vineyard. Thank you Nicky
That was so interesting and informative. They use every single space for sure. Loved seeing the pistachio tree❤️
Your vlogs are pure joy and a wonderful break from reality. Educational too.
