Video

Thanks so much for the video…so excited for the scent videos. I find Doterra essential oils to be exceptional though they are expensive. You look really nice in that green shirt,really suits you.

Watching again good and music too

The snow falling down looks lovely as does your music too

I’ve seen you mentioning growing new plants from the seeds you’ve collected from your plot. Like the turnips in this video. Now, turnips are a member of the Brassica family, and I’ve seen some other brassicas in flower on the plot if I’m not mistaken (and some may have bolted and flowered on neighbouring plots as well). Will these actually grow true? Or will these seeds turn into a surprise package of all kinds of hybrid brassicas?

The ‘falling’ of the cinnabar moth caterpillar is actually something they do on purpose when they feel threatened. Lily beetles (and quite a few other small animals) apply the same tactics. Some even scream during their short fall, to warn their kindred of the impending danger. And their black and yellow colours are actually not camouflage but rather a warning to birds that they are poisonous. The ragwort contains a poison that the caterpillars store in their bodies over time. Ragwort is (mildly) poisonous for most animals. The bitter taste warns us not to eat it, and horses will usually not touch the plant when it grows in their field. It is dangerous for horses though when the plant ends up in their hay: the poison remains, but the bitter flavour gets drowned out.

Watching again

Richard and Paul, you guys are the best on CZcams . Happy Birthday Paul. Newfoundland, Canada

I always wondered how you could tell what was a butterfly and what was a moth….thanks for that bit of handy info. I have lots of green tomatos on my ‘moneymaker’plants but my bush cherry is still tiny with no fruit at all. But no sign of the dreaded B word at least. Thank you Paul for another quality video.

These are lovely gentle videos. Very calming and informative too 😊

Personally i think Paul is very attractive….he is like a strong big bear. Happy birthday lovely man. I wasn’t sent any notifications for this video or Richards daily vlogs….but was notified about the Week at the plot. CZcams makes no sense. Even when i searched sunday chat i got last weeks? Thanks for the chat as always

🥰💚👍

Hi from nz what is the beautiful plant on the 19th july. Behind where you put seeds in. Is it a cerise buddliea.

I think the only issue with not having edged beds is that the grass will easily creep in, personally I think that would drive me mad 😅. Jo Devon 🙂

What do you think about putting a single hole up on the side of the flooded plant trays and then bunging it up with a cork? That way you could just pull the cork and all the water would drain out then you just put the cork back in. Seems easier than taking all the pots out and dumping the water. Love this episode ❤

Hiya Paul, Thankyou for answering a querie of mine re seeds and dates of packaging? I think I’ll just sew and see what happens ? Re pollinators count is low here also across the pond southern Ontario Canada. I have 3 milkweed plants growing for the monarch butterfly hopefully see soon. Take care 🇨🇦🐝

We had almost 10 cm of rain last week tuesday after the 3.5 cm of rain on Monday. Flooding everywhere. It was like yours: went on for hours never letting up. Last time we had rain like this was July 2013. The difference is our weather is hot and humid so it's not pleasant to be working outdoors. We also had a mild, rainy winter and the lack of insects. Right now though there are thousands of tiny solitary bees collecting pollen from the dill and Anise Hyssop flowers. My plot is just bouncing with little pollinators. I grow a lot of native plants and also with my friends we have some rather extensive pollinator gardens. Last year we had many more bumblebees. Almost no butterflies this year though. We have more insects after a winter with good snow cover but that also results in more voles. This is the year of the rabbit. They like to eat crabgrass and now my baby endives. For the past three years we had bumper crops of tomatoes. Not this year. We did all the same things but the weather was too volatile and the terrible rain last week beat some of the leaves to death.

I'm happy, I think I've found a weeding routine that works for me, so I don't end up with painful, numb hands that have been overused. Some of my last plant/sow dates have already passed... summer is flying by. Your blueberries look so good, enjoy them.

I’m up in the north west and I’ve already got the B word 😬

God Bless

Good video 🌞

Hi Paul. I really enjoy your personality and optimism against all the challenges you have in your garden. Also have learned a lot from you. Thanks😊

Grown radishes for years first time ever they have all. gone to seed.

I watched again

I visited Scotland when I was a teenager and had a romantic view of wandering amongst the sheep. The poop and midges soon disabused me of that notion!

So glad to hear you are rewatching Schitt’s Creek! You’re so right about the characters developing over the seasons and how each time you watch it, you see more than you had the first time through. I was a fan from the beginning (it had so much build up in Canada) but I found I had to keep telling people to give it a try past the first couple of episodes. Those who gave up too soon missed out on a unique show. Love it.

Happy Birthday Paul. Welcome to 58. I'm 4 months ahead of you! 🍌 tits and bums!

Bananas, Paul! Happy Birthday! And Hi to you too, Richard, have a good week.

You both make me laugh with your comedy

I was just thinking how nice that green looked on Richard also.

Hi guys, watching you both is always fun, Love your humor, much love from The Netherlands xxx

Guys, what side was Those Were The Days on? I've tried searching for it and no luck 🤔

I love a good storm/rain during the day - I can have a lovely day off from my window cleaning job 🙂

Denim or brut lol @barry @2lads at the lotty

At Lidl there used to be a fragrance for men called ' Eruption for men', maybe that's the one you were thinking of?! 😅😅

When will Richard's Reagents or Reagents by Richard be on sale :)

🥰💕🤩

Omg , you made me spill my coffee….again😂 What a good idea for OAPS, I will make a list of volunteers for you but …….you may have to straighten some of them so they lay flat 😂

“Loyal and Lovely” could be a brand name for your fragrance blends 😄😄😄

I had some clackers! They were painful!! Richard, you look like one of Santa's elves today 😉 xxx

love watching God Bless you both
