I love your cardigan Katie that you are wearing at the end. Did you make it? If so i would love to know the pattern?? When you come to processing the sheep’s fleece. And incase you don’t have a favourite product…. I use Power Scour by Unicorn Fibre. It isn’t cheap but it makes the job easy. I’m not affiliated or anything.

I’m loving your videos, they are a calming presentation of very hard but intelligent work. I am new so will be working my way backwards in them to get the full story. Maybe this has been addressed before in the chat but I am in love with your beautiful ‘working’ dresses with the distinctive plaids and split sleeves. They fit you so well that makes me think the are handmade for you. Are there patterns that come this way or are these also your creations? I also work outside in my garden on a hillside and would love to duplicate one for the freedom and beauty. Thanks for sharing everything you do and for the peaceful couples interactions. Blessings on you both on your journey.

Suggestion... Lasagna gardening combined with hugelkulture methods (old rotting wood and sticks). Tall raised beds, 24 inches or more, cardboard (you don't dig up the grass or weeds), sricks, logs, bracken, seaweed, straw, leaves, soil, layer it all....never dig or weed again!! Ever! It works. I have used these methods for decades....garden smart ;). Love your channel

@catherinecooper2360 2 месяца назад

Thank you for giving your clothing explanation! I was one that questioned your choice of apparel, and not in a mean way. I just simply didn't know about the insect problem. So now it makes sense. Thanks again. You're doing a lovely job with the stones. I really admire all the effort you have put into removing the old concrete and leveling the new stones. As you probably know, some vegetable fertilizer can help some plants and may be great for the onions and whatever else you plant. It appears that the tomatoes are indeterminate. It's a choice if you want to remove the suckers that are between the main stem and the leaf stem. If you leave them long enough, they grow and can be removed to be single plants on their own. I remove the suckers from my tomato plants so that the energy is directed to the mother plant. With your loving care I'm sure you'll have quite a bounty of fruit.

@northernprairiegramma647 2 месяца назад

Your onions will do better if you start them in 4 inch deep pots and give them haircuts as they grow. That strengthens the stems for when you transplant.

@TheScottishIsle 2 месяца назад

Thank you! Kx

@aruvielevenstar3944 2 месяца назад

The onions look like they didn’t have enough light. If the stems are long and not stir, they didn’t have enough light. Onions can be best planted into the full ground. Or sooner, and on clay ground they grow the best, they don’t like sandy ground. I am Dutch, living in Zeeland, ( old Zeeland in the south of The Netherlands)with only clay ground and my husband is a farmers son who grows onions and potatoes and they love clay ground ❤️

Our mum used to make a eucalyptus based "oil" to put on our skin so we didn't get eaten by bugs when we were playing outside MANY decades ago. I have no idea what else was it in but might be worth an investigation? Oh... and it was in Tasmania.

@irmibullinger1421 2 месяца назад

Tomatoes are very easy to start from seed indoors. Wouldn't cost you an arm and leg either. Also I heard on another u-tube video that Mother Earth likes to be covered. If you take seaweed in the fall, when your harvest is in, and cover your beds, then she is covered and won't grow weeds to do it. When the seaweed decomposes it also makes great fertilizer. Thank you for all of your lovely videos!

Your onions look "leggy". This usually happens when propagating inside. Having a light breeze blowing on them helps them to grow stronger stems.

If you cover those weeds with a thick layer of mulch, they will enrich the soil when they die.

Something to consider if thinking about keeping honey bees,.A university down south,Bristol or mebbe Sussex found that the introduction of honey bees caused a reduction of native bumblebees. I was offered a couple of hives some years ago but refused after unearthing this research.
