    If the water is seeping thru, doesn't it need somewhere to go or be exposed to dry out?

    It is so perfect! Some days you *must* just sit and enjoy the beauty you brought out as you restored your mini-chateau. The agapanthus were such a fantastic choice. I hope they survive the winter in your climate. 💖

    Those raspberries are the size of my THUMB! Sergei is a keeper - but you know that. Your garden ❣ I remember when you moved into an overgrown mudslide with little to save. Now, it's a treasure. And I always admire you, Alla, when you work. You have such skill, talent, and imagination. And you do it always looking lovely! If I even wash a paintbrush I look like I've been digging ditches in the rain. Respect to you, Lady!😘

    I'm sorry, but cutting the slugs with shears is a step too far. I can't get the image out of my head. In these times, filled with more horror than I can bear, I expected you to be delicate and sensitive. I was wrong.

    • @sosylvie

      And this is after following you from the moment that you published your first vlog 😪

  • @corry6157

    If you crush eggshells and through it around your plants or as a border around your beds, slugs will not get to your plants.

    You could make a bench or seating area around to cover the drainage area. It would still allow it to breathe and drain.

  • @nanellevantonder3767

    I absolutely hate slugs and snails in my garden.

  • @Nadia-co1gk
    @Nadia-co1gk Před 2 dny

    Sergi is such a great cook. The floor is looking amazing.

  • @sentimentalwoman4540

    A cup with beer in it will draw the slugs to it and they'll drown.

  • @kellyh8347
    @kellyh8347 Před 2 dny

    A scrub brush on a pole would be so helpful to get the stones clean and not so back breaking!! Love Sergi’s cooking skills! OMG! So much joy to see a 🐸 toad! I think he will stay there forever!

  • @vanessaevans6340
    @vanessaevans6340 Před 2 dny

    Have you thought about making a trolley, for the stove to go on? That way it will always be easy to move, especially if water does come up under it.

    Salt kiil slugs and snails pit it around the edge of your garden when they crawl through the salt it desolves them. I used it when I lived in California usa..it works, but you do have to reapply after rains..

  • @mariajoseruiz59
    @mariajoseruiz59 Před 2 dny

    Hola amigos, para las hormigas yo espolvoreo tierra de diatomeas entre las plantas, cuando pasan por encima se les queda pegada y se deshidratan, es un buen abono para las plantas y las hormigas desaparecen. Un abrazo ❤❤❤

  • @charmees6637
    @charmees6637 Před 2 dny

    Yummy raspberries yay! 🙌 The Summer Kitchen floor is coming together nicely. Love it. The potted agapanthus look amazing. The slugs are having such a great meal naughty things. I have them in my garden too along with snails. They drive me mad. 😱

  • @leighlaaltilio6672
    @leighlaaltilio6672 Před 2 dny

    Dear Alla the floor looks fantastic! Well done! And Sergei the pasta looks delicious!! I'll have to wait to see your floor done. I'll be in Italy ( no where near you ☹) but I so look forward to every video!! Thank you!!❣❣

    Your video made me laugh out loud especially at the end when you showed Cherie, I swear she had Sergis mannerisms. 😂 beautiful lunch and your doing a great job with the outdoor kitchens new flooring, take care 😘

  • @mariannekuijpers9298

    the slugs are a real pest, there are just sooo many this year because of all the rain.

  • @sianpryce3685
    @sianpryce3685 Před 2 dny

    You'll find placing the cookeragainst the wall enabling you more central room?

  • @user-nb8zb9in2y
    @user-nb8zb9in2y Před 2 dny

    If you want to get rid of slugs naturally use the ashes from your fireplace. Sprinkle on the soil around the plants. It works!

  • @glenyscallaghan1195

    Great progress Alla, the floor is looking great. Just think of how many rooms you and Sergei have renovated, it is amazing.

  • @joannebolton1
    @joannebolton1 Před 2 dny

    Floor looking great! I love that you tackle anything without fear of failure, such a great life lesson...toads are not my favourite! Traumatised😅as a child we woke up to a giant one inside our tent whilst camping!😱🐸

  • @user-hh6fp1gi1x
    @user-hh6fp1gi1x Před 2 dny

    The floor in the summer kitchen looks great, it’s nice that you take breaks and sit in your garden , remember what the garden use to look like ? And now with the hard work you and Sergi have done how beautiful it is ! It’s a whole world filled with beautiful flowers, fruit, vegetables,birds and now one fat little frog! Good job Sergi on making lunch it looked delicious! I love the last shot of supervisor Cheri at the end of your video ,her eyes have so much expression. Adorable. Am I spelling her name correctly? We have a neighbor who has a King Charles Cavalier and when ever I see them walking I think oh there’s Cheri 🐶

  • @scotttheriz7679
    @scotttheriz7679 Před 2 dny

    Unfortunately the toads can’t eat those massive Spanish slugs, pick them up and take them somewhere else is the only way !

  • @vanessaschofield7927

    the stone floor is amazing alla. wow. your tallents are amazing.

  • @lindamounts2193
    @lindamounts2193 Před 2 dny

    Alla, could the toad be from one of the tadpoles you let loose in your little bucket pond a long time ago?

  • @user-ke2qo9ky8y
    @user-ke2qo9ky8y Před 2 dny

    My garden is chemical free…except when snails and sludges eat all my veggie and flowers. All my hard work and my families need for food means I use snail bait and the beer method. It’s them or us Alla.

    I can’t see nothing, he’s hidden. Stop to call the sluggers as him it is a “it”.

  • @AbigailGerlach-zt1sh

    I love chilis, but they don't love me. Not spicy would suit me best. You lunch looked delicious. You have a very nice husband! The kitchen floor is coming along. You've done very well, so far. I imagine with the high humidity it takes the glue longer to dry.

  • @deirdrecerasa3932
    @deirdrecerasa3932 Před 2 dny

    Alla, the summer kitchen floor is coming along beautifully! The garden is so lovely and inviting. ❤
