TOUR OF OUR ITALIAN WINTER GARDEN | The Positano Diaries EP 68

- As we are still in lockdown here on the Amalfi Coast I decided to take you for a complete tour of our garden to show you what we grow in the winter. We try to be as self sufficient as possible and are lucky that the mild climate permits us to grow all year round. This is what an Italian vegetable garden looks like in the winter!
Lunch with Carlo was purchased at Da Anna, a shop on the road directly below the Bar Internazionale that sells freshly cooked meals to go.
The salad I made was:
potato
romaine lettuce
curly kale
celery
cucumber
local tuna
some leftover sweetcorn
chopped apple
lemon juice, mayo, salt & pepper

Thanks for watching the video TOUR OF OUR ITALIAN WINTER GARDEN | The Positano Diaries EP 67
You’re so lucky to have fresh, homegrown fruits and vegetables year round. Terrific garden and the views!!!❤️❤️
Enjoyed this video very much. Relaxing 😌
Thank you for this winter garden tour. I am always so impressed with the meticulous use of every square inch of space. You and Carlo are adorable together! Your videos always make my day. Thank you!
So nice of you
Wonderful -- such healthy eating. I noticed Carlo gave Nicki the good plate. Good husband!
So uplifting and refreshing.Romaine
🥬 Was great. Boston Bibb. Swiss chard, red and green. Scallions and garlic, onions.
The cukes, squash and Zucchini flopped.
Spotted leaves.
Many flowers that withered.
Cherry tomatoes are slow.
Little daily blessings
Your honesty is deeply appreciated.
Thank you for taking us on that lovely walk through your garden! 💛
What a grand garden! It's so nice to be able to share it all with family and friends. Thank you for the tour.
Never get tired of the scenery in your part of the world. Enjoy your walks, hikes, gardening, cooking, Holly and last but not least, Carlo, always smiling and happy to see you. You are a blessed lady.
So much hard work, planning, and nurturing, you all are doing such a wonderful job 💚
I would need to pinch myself everyday if I lived there, just to bring me back to earth. Positano really is beautiful. Thank you, Nicki 💕
Great video....I’ve said it before but that garden is spectacular! And a lot of work!
I am obsessed with your channel after discovering it this morning!! I studied in Italy for a short time seven years ago...I think about it constantly. Love how you film your videos!
I absolutely love your garden. Eating things that you grow are such a joy and taste so much better. I hope your lockdown ends soon!!!
I still love this kind of video even though you can’t go out running around. It feel very homey
Modern life has reached peak weirdness. Here I was, actually wondering what happened to some potatoes on the other side of the ocean in Italy. 😂
😂😂
Your lemon tree is gorgeous. I’ve never seen a lemon so big. Wow!
What an extensive garden! A lot of work too! But oh my, how good this fresh bounty tastes.
Your garden is Amazing. Escarole is the English for Scarola. New York Italians (me) really love it. We saute it in garlic and olive oil, Makes Escarole & Bean Saou or Zuppa Maritata which we Italian-Americans call Italian Wedding Soup, made by cooking a whole Chicken, making the broth. You take the chicken out of the pot after it's cooked, pull the meat off the bones and put back in the broth. Little Meatballs are cooked in the broth, and then the Ecarole goes in at the end, cooing for a few minutes, and then the soup is done. Carrots and onion in the soup as well. Caiom Daniel NY NY
Sounds good! Thank you!
Love your garden. It's so nice to see what you are doing day to day. Such beauty. Thank you!
I've been watching your channel for a bit and am thoroughly enjoying it. As I write this it is December 28, 2020 and I've just put more wood in our woodstove as I watch the snowflakes go drifting lazily by the window. I live in Canada and I love the snow. I was in Italy about 35 years ago and to this day I still love it as well. I've always loved everything Italian....where I grew up there was a large Italian influence. When I was in Italy I never forgot the food, the passion and the beautiful countryside. My only problem would be the heat and humidity but what the heck, there are worse things in life. Stay safe everyone.
Such a lovely vlog. Loved the garden tour. Love what Carlo bought for lunch. It all looked so delicious.
Love your self sufficiency, that's so satisfying, going out, picking and the food shopping is done, great! I want a Lucas in my garden...Can i adopt him ...
I was thinking that too...Luca has a handle on how to get the best from a garden plot!
Is a special satisfaction to grow your own food, its organic healthy, thank you for show us your orchard.
Lovely day for a winter tour thanks ❤
It is so wonderful to watch your videos, thank you for your energy & passion in your filming , sharing with us your beautiful home. 💘
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the tour of the garden. As a chef, looking at the garden filled me with ideas to cook. I live in an apartment so I have very little space to grow such pretty vegetables . I know it's a lot of steps for you, but you are blessed.
I’m studying indoor growing over the winter. There are crops that can be grown indoors if you have the space!
I love your garden! I fell in love with vegetables when I visited Italy. Truly the stars of Italian cuisine.
Excuse me that apple you put in the basket in the first few seconds had a perfect face on it!
I know, I saw that after too!
Yep its a bear apple LOL
Yeah !me too...so cute
Hi there new to you channel. Oh my I’m in love. What a magical place. And i love your voice. Soft and gentle. This is the medicine i need in the lockdown in cold an dreary Canada. Thankyou for a little piece of heaven.
Thanks for another great video. Your salad looked good, but Carlos' pasta made me drool 😆
The animals were like "Come on." While you were outside of the gate. 😄 Lovely garden.It's lovely to have a garden and grow plants,food.I very much like to have barries in the garden,like blackcurrant.I will try and grow that Toscan kale since it was the one I could find seeds for.All I hear is kale,kale,kale when there's talk of healthy eating.
Sunday morning, coffee, and Nicki Positano for viewing. I enjoyed the tour of the gardens. The cabbage plants are beautiful. I learned something new about storing potatoes. I always enjoy seeing the chickens and Holly and all of the cats, including Not-My-Cat. The lunch area at the cemetery looks so cozy for dining. The scene of Carlo walking home at twilight is like a painting. Thank you so much for all. Take care.🙂
Nikki and Carlo beautiful couple with beautiful life...
I love how Carlo is always so happy..
Awesome. Was carried away and sitting at your table already eating that salad! Excellent.
My fascination to try and grow Bougainvillea in NZ in colder climate was unsuccessful for many years , but I never gave up and I now have two bougainvillea growing successfully framing a upstairs terrace . With lots of flowers this year , frost cloth saved them from being expired. But also I grew them with other climbers which helped to protect them from cold weather, being I live in the South Island where temps are much colder . Lovely vegetable garden, so wonderful to pick fresh every day .
well done for succeeding!
Oooh, curly kale and fennel, I love them together! I saute sliced fennel in olive oil until it is caramelised and yummy,. Have a good big handful of kale torn into strips ready. Slosh some verjuice onto the fennel (I imagine white wine will do instead!) . Throw the kale in quickly, put the saucepan lid on, turn the heat off and let the verjuice/wine steam work its magic for 3-4 minutes. Nom!
I really enjoyed this video. It was almost like I was there. Almost... 🥺. Thank you for sharing... 🙂.
Your garden is beautiful and very well maintained! Much healthier to eat fresh food. And poor kitten ... he loves his house, there's no way!😺😺😺
Oh my! I have “fennel envy”! Your fennel patch is amazing. The bulbs looked huge. Beautiful sunset too. I’m liking a quiet Positano. Stay safe Nikki and Carlo. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Lovely garden tour. Awwww, NMC wants to be your cat. 🐈 😃
☺️☺️My soul needed these so bad 🤲🏼 after looking at all the sales 🙄🙄
Awh! You have such a nice garden, it must be a pleasure planning meals around your vegetables. I love the way you & Carlo meet up for lunch. Perfect part of the world to be in lockdown! 🌈💚
The best!
Wonderful gardening video 👌
Thank you very much for nice sharing👍👍👍
Take care my dear friend 💕🌷
All of us envy your amazing garden....with such variety of fruits and veggies....and the herbs which you say are just growing in bushes like sage nd rosemary, I have to pay so much nd get them in small bottles. 👍😊I really enjoy when Carlo gets such yummy dishes to eat at lunch....my mouth starts watering...🤪..Wow!!!
Loved the garden tour the mountain air warmth a boost for the vegetables fruit trees.The chickens enjoying the walks amongst the garden.Love how you join Carlo for lunch he sure loves your company.Nicki you live in a beautiful paradise safely tucked await somewhere I dream of.Thankyou for inviting me along on your journey life in Positano magical❤️❤️🥰🥰
Fabulous garden.
Dichondra used to be wildly popular here along the west coast in the 50’s and 60’s. Mostly older homeowners who wanted to stop working so hard mowing the traditional lawn but still wanted something green and easily maintained. It looks neat and tidy. Not great for lots of foot traffic or children playing on it.
Thankyou for showing us around your winter garden. Of course in Australia we are going into summer now but your garden and trips to Italy have definitely inspired our Mediterranean style back garden. Every year we are growing more food and I watch carefully what shape your fruit trees are in and how the tomatoes are tied and try and creat a piece of the Mediterranean here in Melbourne. Like the Amalfi Coast we have more mild winters and every summer we usually get a few days up around 40 degrees. Rarely do we get a frost and never snow and are a few minutes walk to the bay (on flat ground) no cliffs here. we are on pure sand though so we really have to improve our soil to grow our veggies as it just disappears straight through the sand. Thankyou to you and Carlo for the garden inspiration.
thank you for being inspired! It's lovely to be able to pick your own food!
It seems your duettino-quarantino goes quite well, tasty and cosy. I enjoy all your videos.Thanks for them. Breathtaking sunset ! Hope you will be safe.
Beautiful place. Lovely views. So much hard work though the garden and the steps! Looking at those steps my knees start to ache!
Loved your garden tour! All your hard work certainly pays off with delicious fruits and vegetables. Thanks for sharing.
Soo awesome! I would love to move to Italy, except I can’t speak Italian and live in the US 🤪
How beautiful, as always. The view from above is gorgeous! I love Carlo, always with a smile on his face. The vegetable garden is incredible, lots of different vegetables for so many to enjoy! Great! Looking forward to Wednesday!
I just realized watching your Winter Garden, I never sent you another video of my summer garden. It really went very well Nicki! I think next year we will use a larger area and plant even more.
Wonderful!
Hi Nikki your garden is beautiful not to forget holly always so lovely! Have a blessed Sunday🙏I always look forward to see your Dairies 🥰🙏❤️
I must say that you live a magical life with lot of exercise to stay in shape 👍
I'd rather look at your garden than all those gardening programmes on tv! I'd really enjoy seeing Luca explaining how he gardens.
oh my goodness i love your garden and its good to know it doesnt go to waste with all the family around .i would love to eat all the fruit too
Q lindo todo!!!!!!!! Adoro tus videos Nicki!!!!!! Y los adoro a uds!!!!! ❤️
Thank you for another video being transported to a time and place that is just wonderful! This was a very enjoyable tour of the garden. We laughed at all the chicken and cat parts. Dont you just hate it when those hens squirm like that and youre like "ahhh please dont scratch me please dont scratch me". LOL, thats what goes through my mind every time they do that to me. I didnt realize you can eat lemons that are still green.
I haven't been scratched by a chicken yet, must be lucky!
@@NickiPositano Well if that day comes, then you are you can share it with us in a video otherwise keep up the good luck ^_^
Lovely as always. Have a great day
What a splendid day, Thank You Nicki!!!
Yay! Another wonderful time! Love the White Sage! We're inundated with them, here at 3,500 ft in SoCal!
The gardens are glorious!
When I visited Sorrento in June 2018, I missed the Vallone dei Mulini. I hope that one day you can make a video from there and at the same time tell the history of the place. Thank you Nicki for your videos and all the best to you
I certainly will if we are ever allowed to go to Sorrento again!
Love that garden so amazing
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden!
Absolutely stunning and growing on the side of a cliff!
You have a very beautiful and productive garden. The orange flower near the pool is called Bird of Paradise. Thanks for sharing.

Lucky! We live in Northwest Ohio and our growing season is from May to Sept/October. Really enjoyed the whole video. Your production skills are really great! Wonderful . . .
