You guys ask questions throughout the growing year that we don't necessarily feel fit into the videos we are doing at the time. They can be anything from you guys wanting to know more about us to specifics about our particular garden and growing. So we thought we'd put them together in one fun and light-hearted video for you.
Our soup recipe

About us (how we met)
Did you have a mutual love of gardening in the beginning
What got you into gardening
What is your favourite plant to eat?
What plant would you be?
What do you regret growing or what could you do without?
How do you split the workload?
What are your pet peeves (jobs you hate)?
Why did you choose the colour for all the wood?
Does Kate like gardening and what other hobbies does she have?
If the garden was wiped clean, would we do anything differently?
Where would you like to live?
Are you self sufficient, if there was a doomsday event, could you survive?

👏👏 round of applause Kate and Eli, thank you for letting go us all share snippets of your personnel journey. Loved the video. Great idea too moving the greenhouse to where the shed is, sorry Kate! You must admit though it’s not a bad idea, I’ve been gardening in my 8x6 green house for 17 years. After watching Your channel on the rhino greenhouse we purchased one December 2021 we have a 8 x 12 In silver sage, and wow! So pleased with it, it’s hard to believe know how I was able to grow flowers and veg in such a small space. Go for it girls if you can do it do it! Loved the Intro gardening for me helps me lose myself from stress and anxious thoughts, it’s my happy place💐 where I love to be! 🤔 the car clip was great too, did you aim to just go for a drive, or garden centre visit😃👩‍🌾 Bye for know see you next week Great work!! 👏

Oh where do I start? Peter and I met online and first met each other in person at Glasgow Central Station 😁 There just be something special about train stations, eh?? Thanks for taking my question 😊 I absolutely *loved* this video. Kate, I have to paint our fence, too but ours is a lot smaller than yours and shorter, too (otherwise, Peter would have to paint it because I'm short, too 😂). I also know what Kate means about cutting the lawn, because I enjoy it myself. We split it here because Peter helps, as well. I really enjoyed seeing you both to-ing and fro-ing - that was classic!

I feel like this during the Winter, mainly because all my hard work is undone every year by the garden being underwater... frustrating... Luckily like most Gardeners I have other hobbies so focus on something else... this week the fence blew down so waited for a sunny day and fixed it..... and started back clearing the garden ... roll on Spring!! At least you have Kate to help you! You are properly well matched! Totally agree with the lawn...... I was brought up with a back yard and yearned for a lawn....

I started watching because I was so tired of seeing videos from like, Florida where they can grow all sorts I never could in my garden in Ireland. I love seeing you deal with more similar weather conditions to what I'm used to! And it makes me happy to see you both loving your garden space and it reunites my enthusiasm for MY garden. Happy soon to be 7th anniversary btw!

Hehe also I have a "burny fire" thing too. When it rains THIS much, putting weedkiller on things just washes off and by using the blow torch that's less poisons in the garden full stop.

Great video. Loved the interaction between you two. You obviously share a good sense of humour. A couple of bits to mention from it, - I got my patio fruit trees from Marshalls Garden and they've been great so far in big tubs. - I'd love an episode where you talk about your flower beds and how you plan them out for both flower types, heights and such-like, along with the way you use them to attract pollinators. - I bet there's a solar-powered water feature you could sit in the middle of the lawn if you really wanted. Can't wait to see how life blooms in the garden and how it compares to my efforts. As always, I'm winging it except when it comes to my peppers and tomatoes. About to order a veg trug for some produce outside of the greenhouse. Oh, and this year I'm growing San Marzano tomatoes for my pizza sauce. I wasn't impressed with the flavour of the Roma I grew last year. I'm a massive fan of cherry tomatoes though too.

I agree with many of things you have both said in this video. Mowing the grass is very therapeutic and brings me joy as well. Same with trimming the junipers and tending to my garden and trees. My kids will never have to mow the grass because I won't even let them! lol I tried to to grow Brussel sprouts this year and they took up an entire raised bed and the return wasn't worth the space given up. I also just bought a 10x20x8' greenhouse that I am excited about getting set up this spring. I wish I could have gotten a bigger one, but there just wasn't enough space. It will really extend the growing season being in a 4b zone and I look forward to having an extra month or so for my tomatoes. I just found your channel this winter and thoroughly enjoy your videos.

@Leanne_N 2 года назад

This made me smile a lot! The key point being grow what brings you joy (be it food, lawn, flowers or a combination!). It reminds me of one time I was chatting with my neighbour and going on about all my vegetables, she seemed to feel pressured to grow more veg but plainly stated she gets more joy in flowers. So I took the opportunity to say she should plant what brings her the most pleasure because I didn’t want my enthusiasm to be the cause of additional stress for someone else! I totally get the whole neighbours are good but maybe more space in between. Generally we get on with our neighbours but I do dream of having a bit more space in between. Although it’s nice right now cause my hubby works away a lot. We have a long skinny property and at the moment it can be a bit more peaceful in the backyard. 🥂

Love this! And great to hear Kate's answers as well - greetings from one 'Oook' to another! :) As far as soft fruit trees go, it is tricky. I've donated the sunniest spot in the greenhouse to a small lemon tree, and am amazed and delighted that it's actually producing fruit in the unheated greenhouse. I got a bit carried away last week and ordered a mandarin as well. As for water features, you could have a very small one, in a bowl, with a solar pump, maybe? It would still give that moving water effect.... The pizza and soup looks amazing. And a huge yes to the garden being a space that is beautiful and productive but also doesn't have to be perfect, and as long as it's making you happy and helping your mental health, that's the most important thing (same for sharing on social media - it has to be on your terms, not anyone else's). Thank you for sharing all of this, I really enjoyed it!

@eliandkate 2 года назад

Hmmmm. We’re getting a lot of mentions of the columnar trees or patio trees I think I called them but as we mentioned the problem is that we don’t actually have anywhere to grow them. Fruit trees need sun and all our spaces which actually get sun are in use. We have a huge patio but unfortunately it’s in shade for the majority of the time 😢😢😢

@alicemcilroy8805 2 года назад

Mmm, that does make it more tricky. They say pears and plums don't mind partial shade. I have two columnar pears in pots in partial shade - but no fruit yet, so can't recommend it, though my columnar apple tree also in partial shade had its first fruit last year. Unfortunately our daily visitors, a muntjak deer and its fawn, didn't give us the chance to see how sweet it got.

This was, by far, my favorite Eli and Kate video. It’s strange, though: I had a more difficult time weeding through Eli’s accent, while you guys were in the kitchen. Something about he acoustics, I suspect. When Kate spoke, I never had to translate a single word. Very strange. Kate does very well in front of the camera, by the way. I was always under the impression that she was camera-shy. Maybe so, but you couldn’t tell from the video. Maybe you prepared her with a six pack of Scottish brew? Or did you simply promise a good hamburger for dinner? Regardless, the interaction was very genuine and enjoyable. Excuse me now. The video is still in progress.

I use a roller for most of my painting. They’ve made great improvements with various rollers over the years, and they’re so much faster and easier to use than a brush. I only use a brush in the right spaces; although, if you remember photos of my fences, I prefer the weathered, old-timey look, and painting fences is something I leave for the likes of Tom Sawyer, a character who had a very unique way of painting fences. Better than using a roller, in fact.

@michaeld.3779 2 года назад

@@eliandkate, yes, I drive a stick, but I shift with my right hand, because we drive on the right side of the road. Mt comment about Kate shifting with her left hand was a joke, since doing so by U.S. drivers would be very awkward.

This was so enjoyable to watch. And I love Kate’s shirt, btw “Head Honcho”🤣. You are clearly a perfect match! Oh, and I agree hands down on pizza! A couple of years ago I grew 80+ basil plants (my husband LOVES pesto) and I must’ve made pizza almost every day. No regrets 😂. Thank you both for sharing! Oh I just remembered! If you want raspberries, you could just grow them in containers and trim them to maintain more of a bush. I have 4 plants(probably too many, I was just excited. Raspberries are my favorite, it’s not my fault😅) in a 2 foot x 8 foot x 11 inch high bed.

For heaven's sake stop talking and eat the bloody pizza and soup! Just kidding. Enjoyed this video. Doesn't it always seem like we could do a better job gardening "if only we had a greenhouse, no a bigger one, no putting it in a better position, no a bigger yard.......I tried a solar fountain in a bird bath, but the breeze would blow the water away and the bird bath would empty and the the pump did not last, so done with that! Do you have room for a water feature?

Thanks for the share Eli! Loved watching this and getting to know you both! Again love the editing on this and both of your energy. Oh yes i remember when we decided to plant broccoli and cauliflower many years ago, when we set up our first bed and it was like, oh boy, this sure does take up a lot of space for one single plant, you are fighting with the bugs and birds for this tiny little head! lol We still do sprouts though. I agree with having space not just for growing food and flowers, etc. It's nice to have an outdoor living room in the better weather days. Never mind the US, you should come down south in the summer! Plenty warm down here in London. Met office said we were going to have a colder winter than normal but it has been very mild again and wet. Our "snow" these days, if we are lucky is an "icing sugar" dusting not like the 2-3ft of snow we used to get as kids, where 25c was a heatwave! (And this was when i used to live further into London than we do now.) I would love a greenhouse in our garden but i think the high humidity where we are would cause problems. Anyway, all the best and take care.

@eliandkate 6 месяцев назад

:D glad you had one with this one Now we're actually going to be growing something this year as a test, sprouting broccoli but smaller :D - keep an eye out for that one very soon!!!!!! You know, we have crazy humidity here, much much higher than London (in the 90%s most of the year) and it's not an issue for a greenhouse so don't let it put you off :D :D I used to live in London, many moons ago - I was an East End girl for many years. I used to love it for the weather - spent almost all year in short sleeves... people thought I was barking :D

Still have some left! Love to you both!
