This week we are adding height and supports for vining plants to our raised beds with a beautiful metal arch and obelisks. As always, we have never done this before, but learning on the job seems to be how we roll here! By choosing rebar, we are making the strongest and most sustainable choice for our garden, and Jack gets to play with his latest toy, a mig welder, the result is beautiful additions to our french country garden that are going to serve us well for many years to come! Only a few tears along the way...

@user-uk8sm4ec3l 3 месяца назад

What a great team you both make. One with the ideas, and the other brings the ideas to life ❤. Jack, you have surpassed yourself this week. There is no limit to what you can do. You are so artistic, imaginative and hard working. I love the different ways you bent the rebar, my favourite was bending the rebar through the handle of a garden spade whilst the spade was anchored between the wooden strats of the bench. So entertaining and a joy to watch. Thank you.

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

Haha I’m so glad someone else liked that! I was over the moon when I found the spade 😂😂 was just the right shape.

@kathyritchey9526 3 месяца назад

Love everything ❤️, my only thought is you definitely need a way bigger chicken coop.❤

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

This is basically just for them to sleep and lay in, but for the most part they’ll be free ranging 👌 and unless we got crazy lucky, I don’t think all 20 are hens 😬

@kathyeyesopen4078 3 месяца назад

I was thinking the same. Maybe Jack can use some chicken wire to extend the yard area they can run around in. Just be sure to make a wire top as well to keep ravens and other critters away. 😊

@user-po6nn6un8q Месяц назад

Another chateau in France (chateau diaries) had all their chickens killed by a fox..it wasn’t pretty. They had to build a high brick wall around them, could be a bit devastating for your kids to find. Free range is great till that happens, a long chicken run around the edge of a garden is another idea I’ve seen. Love your vids you’re so talented

@PaperArtsy 3 месяца назад

‘They look munted’ 😂😂😂 bit harsh - but …. best kiwi phrase of your videos so far

@user-zf3yo8zu1x 3 месяца назад

You both are just so sweet and kind to each other. I adore it! Also, from experience... you may want to put chicken wire under the coop as well. We lost all of our chicks due to a critter digging under the coop.

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this tip! What was the critter? We only have wee moles around here and they’re harmless for chickens

@OnTheFlipSide 3 месяца назад

I love how Bec went from tears of joy to that looks like chit!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I made an arch of rebar, but sadly the heat from the sun heated the metal and burnt all my plants, I hope you have more shade and it will be ok, if you notice plants are dying, that's probably why.

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

Well you know, can’t be letting him get a big ego now 😂 but absolutely thrilled in the end. Oh wow, I’ll be honest, we did not think about that!! We will have to watch closely. Thanks for the heads up.

Your rebar garden furniture is great. I paid quite a bit to have a local lady metalworker make me stakes to hold up our very large Abraham Darby rose. They look like tree branches and blend in, not decorative like your work.

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

Ooh I love that idea, not sure I could pull it off just yet but maybe soon. Any excuse for more practice! 😂

@gingermonette7455 3 месяца назад

Few hours later thought: After the rust issues with the bathtub, does your garden art need any treating against rust?

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

🤣🤣 don’t remind us about the bath! Hahaha no that’s a good point, we’re actually cool with the rust look, love the colour in the garden and we’ll happily rebuild when they eventually wear down. Jack is already keen to get to more welding 😁

Yes we actually love the rust colour and how it blends in, behind the plants. Part of the reason we chose it. Plus Jack had so much fun he’ll be dying for another chance to make some new ones when they eventually wear out 😂
