Great video Eli really enjoyed seeing Audrey's garden.
😀😀😀 it was really fun to do it with Audrey
I loved this video, Eli! Wonderful idea and wonderful to see the two of you.
What a brilliant idea, thanks both it was very entertaining 👍😊
😀😀😀😀😀
THANK YOU AUDREY! ❤️ 😃
Hi Eli. Hi Kate 😀
That was fab girls, thanks Audrey and I'm subbing to you too! LOVE the dinosaurs but I also LOVE the tomato strings - brilliant! Thanks Audrey, thanks Eli
I love the dinosaurs too 😂😍😂😍
Lol the eye roll is priceless awesome video thank you Audrey just subscribed, and thank you Eli and Kate
Yeah that eye roll was putting me right back in my place 😍😍😍😍😍
just came upon this video. Loved it! Well done you two. Thank you so much for sharing - got some great ideas for my "happy place"
Hurrah for happy places everywhere 😍😍😍
Smashing video Eli. Loved seeing Audrey's garden, and the dinosaurs! My garden is my happy place too,, I go out every morning with coffee in hand to see what's coming up. I'll have breakfast out there too weather permitting. Yesterday I was deadheading etc and I was still in my pj's at noon!! Totally lost track of time. My allotment is behind our farmhouse so I take myself off there too and just sit and think. Lots of weeds but lots of veg too. I love it. So nice to see like minded people, a garden to relax in and just take it all in. Thankyou Eli and Audrey for a lovely video!
oh that sounds like my perfect world :D
Hi Audrey & Eli, what a brilliant video, thank you both so much for sharing and take care 🙂
Our pleasure Christine!
Texas are playing an outdoor gig in Inverness so I'll be in my "chillouterie/gae it laldy spot" very soon. Free entertainment while looking at the garden 🍸🍾
Oh that’s a bonus!!!!
I just love Eli !! I am From New York and I was looking for green house garden videos & I stumbled upon this channel! We do not get to plant here all year long (because it's freezing) But, I ended up side tracked by these videos!! I am thoroughly entertained by Eli! I stopped my research, and started watching video after video! Thank you for an informative and entertaining garden experience, keep up the great work!
Oh I remember New york winters…. Proper snow 😬😬
Fun tour! Thanks for the multi country POV. *superstars*
This was great - you should all have your own tv show 😃
Ha ha ha then someone else would be telling us what to do lol
Good point! 😊
I really enjoyed this Eli 😊 It was great to see Audrey's garden, and hear about her different climate. Great fun!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😜
Last year I grew my tomatoes outdoors and ate my first on 20/7. They did really well so this year as well as in the polytunnel I stuck a few plants outside. Well, they are toatie and apart from a handful of wee flowers, there is not a lot to show and they are at least 3 feet shorter. The reason I'm saying is because if your outdoor toms don't do as well as you hope try again next year. Its been a proper cold summer in my bit of scotland and i assume in your bit too.
Absolutely loved it, both your gardens are gorgeous, I'm sorry I'm playing catch up on watching 🥰
Not at all Shazza you work at your pace
Hello 👋😀 glad to have found your channel through Gardener Scott mentioning your epic gardens rooms! 🌱🍃🪺🐦🐝🦋🐛 Super excited to follow y'all!
And we’re major glad to have you with us 😍
I love seeing everyone’s happy place. Mine’s on my raised back porch surrounded by kitchen garden plants, the cats napping in the cattery and I can see over my entire property. I watch the chickens, 2 goats, 1 pig, 4 dogs playing in the brook and day dream over looking several different gardens.
Awww sounds perfect 😍🥰😍🥰
Great video guys was fun and interesting 🌽🥬🥦🥒🍎
😍😍😍
Great video Eli.
Loved seeing both yours and Audrey’s gardens.
It was fun to do 😍
I watch Audrey on Tonys weekly chat ( I have subscribed to her) but I was fascinated to see her garden - it was quite different to how I imagined it. Smaller but I really enjoyed looking.
I thought it was smaller than I expected too 😀
Love your hat, that's my alma mater! I've popped over to Audrey's channel and subscribed. Funny that I found her through you, I live in Metro-Detroit, too!
Oh that’s great that you’ve found Audrey’s channel. Yeah the hat was an in joke between us as she went to Michigan and I did some online stuff with Michigan State 😂
Ahhh, I loved that! Thank you, to all 3 of you 😀
😂🥰🥰😂
How lovely to meet Audrey, and her dinosaur 🦖!! You are so right, no stress in our gardens makes it our happy places 😊 the biggest room in our homes even. Audrey’s garden is so calming and quiet, and beautiful. Love the drone shots 🤣 I can’t do one like you can (I’m in a bungalow) 🤣 did you have your composter behind your greenhouse at one time? That was a lot of fun 🤩
Yeah the composter was over there a few years ago… did something give it away?
@@eliandkate no I just saw it in Colourful Corner and I remembered you had a hot composter by the greenhouse a while ago, so I wondered if this was a 2nd one or if you had just moved it 😊
Ahhhh we had our original pallet bin over by the greenhouse and our first hotbin. Now both hot bins are over by colourful corner 😀
Very interesting videoxx
Glad you think so!
Lovely gardens
Audrey is wonderful. You can grow 4 sweet corn in a corner, Eli. I really enjoy this video, thank you to you both for sharing your gardens.
Glad you enjoyed it Mary :)
Yeah about the sweetcorn, one of the things that maybe isn’t so obvious is that I have absolutely crammed all the growing spaces I can… I don’t have anywhere left without giving up one of the other growing areas. So I just have to decide year on year what’s important for that year 😍
Hi there, got here from Steve. Im from Norway (west coast) similar weather as Scotland i suppose. Last year i had 6 plants of sweet corn, i grew em in pots (3 in a 30L) and they was in the greenhouse until i could spot the male flower, then out they went and i got some nice corn later that summer. Having em indoor while they pollinate turns into a mess anyway, the pollen sticks to everything that grows there. The Greenhouse is usually a bit empty before the tomatoes and melons bulk up and there is room between for a few pots of something early in the season. Doing the same this year , but whit more. Love your vid btw :)
Hey welcome to our mad wee corner of CZcams 😍😍😍
My garden has a similar layout. I grow corn in a container as I only do four.
But is 4 enough for you 😀😍
Yes as it is only me who eats it, I grow mostly for me as my family are not keen on certain veg.
Love the substitute for the drone 😂 I do the same when I want to get shot of our garden from the above 😆
😍😍😍😍
Hold the phone.....she had me at Dinosaurs ......hitting subscribe right now!!!... I have dinosaurs in my garden too, and I get the mick taken out of me for it.....
I was so jealous of the dinosaurs!!!!
Aww, that was lovely. Gonna have to go check out Audrey's channel now! Thanks for sharing her! 💕
Glad you had fun with us Rapps
I've seen some people grow sweet corn in containers (they used container bags I think)... so that might be an option if you wanted to try growing corn... that way you can move them out of the wind while growing then put the pots away when it's all done.
Yeah there are loads of folk growing in pots, had heaps of folk mention it. The problem for us though is that we genuinely don’t have space, not even for pots… we make the absolute most out of the garden so to add something else means having to replace something.
Sometimes you you just have to accept it and be happy with what you have…. Not claiming it’s easy but hey ho 😂😂
@@eliandkate I can totally understand that. I've only just started getting into gardening and already I'm thinking of what I can squeeze in. I "could" certain plants in spaces... but I might not want to in order to grow something else.
Ha ha ha this is your life now 😂😂👏👏👏
Love the dino!!! I have a little hatching velociraptor statuette hidden amongst my plants as a little Easter egg for keen eyes. 😋 We still have little dinos in our yards, one of my favorites being the theropod that fills the niche of a bee, AKA the hummingbird! Slowly making my way through your older content, I'm sad that I'm so late to find your channel, but glad to have arrived here nonetheless.
Heavy winds snapped my elderberry today, so I'm soaking the stem in some water and hoping to take several cuttings of it. 🤞
I loved her dinosaur too
Something a bit different
I'm sitting in the biergarten with you! I love it!
One day… cocktails of an evening 😀
Yessss....
Ha ha ha you a Real Food Comes Dirty fan?
@@eliandkate I am now. Love to expand my channel repertoire.
Loved this episode. I live in upstate New York and have weather similar to Michigan. After the holidays, I start thinking about my small raised garden and container garden. I will retire soon and can work on improving my 2 acre lot in the country.
Lots of inspiration from both gardens. Corn takes a lot of space and plants to yield much produce and may need hand pollination so I do not grow it. I buy from a local farm.
I lived in Delaware, a state in a more temperate climate and still could not grow a fig tree in the climate controlled,, greenhouse-much to the disappointment of my former husband from Italy. But we grew the best cantaloupe and tomatoes due to the hot, humid weather.
My job allowed me to work from home half time snd I loved working or relaxing in my garden area the past few years, health and weather permitting.
Subscribed to both channels now 👍
Audrey’s garden is lovely isn’t it Gret
Eli so sunny there did you get a bit of a sun burn? Send that weather to Ireland we've got overcast every day now for a while! :) Good to see another garden thanks to Audrey! :)
Yeah been overcast, rainy and 14c every day since 😭😭😭😭
You said you have Herb in your container. I hope he is fertilizing your crops well!
My question is, what did you tell his family, about why he is missing??? 😂

Hi lovely, what are those arch thingys over your plants? They look fab for keeping caterpillars and beaties off xxx as always love your channel you really need to be on TV xxx
Hey Julie
Those are just nets to do exactly that, keep the besties off. Loads of folk do this in some form but with mine, after years of frustration I created an actual rigid frame which has hinges. So I can lift it super easily with on hand to get to the veggies.

Have you ever told us about your water saving contraption on the greenhouse?
Em….. I don’t have a water saving system…. Trying to think what you mean.
The self watering planters?
The seed bed with capillary matting?
@@eliandkate When you sit at the beer garden there’s something that looks like a water storage system in the back left corner outside the greenhouse.
Oh it’s just a water butt… nothing fancy or unusual just a standard water butt
