    Kylie, I am in North Carolina, USA…recovering from long rounds of chemotherapy. Your videos are absolute therapy. I am 72, but my entire life, I have enjoyed baking and I am an avid gardener. Your videos bring me such peace, and it is as though I am able to live vicariously the beautiful life you have created for yourself. You are an extraordinary young woman, and I relate so well to your lifestyle and the beauty you have manifested. Thank you. We are on our way to Italy at the end of April, to spend 6 glorious weeks, and I cannot wait to return. It is my happy place.

      Wow. Thank you for sharing all this with me. It’s so deeply motivating to know there are people like you out there who appreciate my little videos. I hope you enjoy Italy. End of April and May is such a perfect time of year to visit. ♥️

    My favorite part is your son watching his grandfather install the trellis! Made me smile!

      He stayed like that transfixed and watching my father work for about 20 minutes. 😂

      I think so too....He's so talented and also so willing to roll up his sleeves and do so many hours of hard laboring. Amazing. And Kylie's mom, too....What a blessing.

    @Lisa-countryside 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Your trellis vines will be most happy if you make their rise at a 30 degree angle or more. It is tempting to try to train the vines straight up the trellis, but this makes it more difficult for the water and nutrients to travel up in growth. You’ve built a beautiful home and garden. God bless.

    I live with my daughter, son in law, and two grandkids. Our big house is where most family gatherings are. My daughter and I work together and prepare as much food as possible in advance. Our main goal is to enjoy the events ourselves and to be present with our guests. We have learned that running around slaving over everyone is not the goal. It is being with them and enjoying them ourselves. We have even pre frozen a gourmet chocolate birthday cake in advance, it was perfect!! A bolognese sauce can be frozen and thawed, just wonderful.

    Nothing more calming and therapeutic than seeing family enjoying those very precious moments in time together in glorious surroundings in a garden created with love. And one little boy watching and learning the simple things in life that will give him a solid grounding for his future. Kylie, this was absolutely wonderful and memorable in many ways. Thank you so much ❤🙏

      Unless you go the other way ! My husband and kids cleared our garage out because we are moving , we cleaned ,swept , scrubbed , lifted to the tip all day and then none of us could sleep 😂 over tired as my mother used to say

    @lirazdemasure936 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Thank you Kylie, your videos, as always, transfer me to a place of calm in a world that isn't. The vegetable garden reminds me of my late dad who was a farmer and during his last years was working in his vegetable garden. He used to put plastic chairs in different parts of it so he could sit when he was tired. And he said that this was the thing that was giving him a reason to get up in the morning.

    Hi Kylie. Your young apprentice gardener learning where food comes from and watching his grandfather is priceless, moments that will set him up for a healthy life, physically and emotionally. Its great to see this.

  • @DebraGorsline
    @DebraGorsline 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +30

    Kylie, you have such a gift at telling your story. My heart is full of emotions while watching your videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the music and video work harmoniously with each other. Watching you work with your Dad, makes me wish mine was still alive so we could continue projects together. Your little boy trying so hard to be helpful takes me back when mine were little. Life is so short yet so quick. We are but a breath in history. Live each day to the fullest and be thankful for loved ones. Thank you for sharing.

  • @Sharon-Me
    @Sharon-Me 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    You brought back some sweet memories for me, Kylie, memories of when I was a young girl and working in the garden with my father. My father has been gone for several years now but those memories will keep on bringing me joy for the rest of my life. Gianfranco really wanted to open the bags of soil for you, he is such an adorable baby, what a blessing he is for your family!!!

    • @KylieFlavell
      @KylieFlavell  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      How beautiful to have those memories endure. Yes, Gianfranco wanted to open every single bag. It was a fight on all 30 of them!😂

  • @virginiaconway374
    @virginiaconway374 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I chuckled when Giofranco stepped over a block to enter the vegetable garden area and then landed flat on his bottom! There is so much work to do!! You do not need to worry about exercising. Watching you all busy doing your work and your precious baby toddling along trying to keep up looked so natural, like that is the way it was meant to be. In the evening, when you are sharing your dinner, it must be very fulfilling. God loves you all.

    I noticed your red bud trees. They also grow them here in the Ozark Mountains. My husband and I started some projects in our yard as well . The ground here is also very rocky! We put down pavers for a patio with a firepit, an area for lawn games like corn hole and hatchet throwing, and finally a sandbox & tree house for the grandkids. We are looking forward to many happy times with friends and family in this outdoor space!

    I first fell in love with the Italy’s food and countryside while reading Frances Mayes’ books. I now have your videos to sustain my love affair with those fields and trees that surround you like a crocheted blanket. Thank you, Kylie, for your extraordinary filmmaking, expressive writing, and amazing recipes.

    Thank you, Kylie. This is so needed during these uncertain times filled with hate, vitriol and discontent.
    Returning to the earth, hard work and the love and support of family and friends is so needed. Let this video point us in the direction of these virtues.
    My everlasting thanks for sharing! ❤

    • @KylieFlavell

    The new garden area came out beautifully! With all the back breaking hard work you and your Dad put into getting it done, I have much love and respect for you both! 🥰
    I was exhausted just watching you both! 😂
    I am sure it will be quite successful.
    Seeing the countryside bathed in green and blooming with beautiful flowers makes my heart so happy! What a joyful place to wake up every morning! ❤

Recipes, timing and how do you prepare while they are already in home. Thank you for all of your beautiful videos!

    Such a beautiful piece of film work. It’s so lovely seeing you all toiling together as a family. Having very similar pebbly and stony soil where I live, which often we can only garden by using a pick or mattock, I totally appreciate what hard and back breaking work it can be. Your son is fascinating. My son was very similar when that age. Obsessed with tools and helping in the garden. I can never get over how utterly beautiful the countryside you live in is. ❤

    Kylie, I'm a meal-planner as you are. When we have house guests (and first of all I try to keep it to three days), I list all the meals, shop for everything, prepare as much in advance as possible, and plan at least one dinner out. My delightful guests often treat the night out!

    Try the Lasagna method for a no dig garden. In the Fall, pick a site or sites, layer leaves, grass clippings, compost. Cover with tarp to compost over winter. In the Spring you will have beautiful garden soil. When you dig you disturb the nutrients. Love your videos and your way of life with all the love uou show each other.

    Your lovely dad is the hero of this story. What a wonderful presence in your lives. Loved seeing the close up of his ropey-veined arms working, and footage of him forging through the obvious fatigue of heavy labour. It’s such generous parental love and he oozes kindness and decency and warmth and your mum always there providing the consistent assistant. Maybe do a story on your folks?

      Yes, that’s how we did gardens when I was a child. We take most of our gardening advice from Egisto, the 83-year-old caretaker on the farm, who knows this land so well.

      With so many rocks, it's necessary to dig unfortunately, we are in the Little Karoo in south Africa and our plot is called klipdrift which translates to stone drift - hard work!!

    Oh wow! Just discovered your channel! So nice to see a fellow expat in Italy working on a garden! Nice video! If you need help I may offer some advice so next time you spent less energy on establishing garden beds. Lots of love!

    I think another trellis would be so pretty (horizontally) above the door. Your property is beautiful.
