I enjoyed seeing Julie walk through the tall grasses and flowers! I loved seeing the locally produced items in the gift shop! The pesto is a lovely hostess gift! Love from Vermont
I have wild garlic growing in my garden, and it makes an amazing wild garlic and lemon butter to go on new potatoes. Or a wild garlic stuffing with roast chicken.
@@denisecampbell6736 I’m sorry I made you hungry, but my wild garlic and lemon butter is delicious. If you want to make it, you will need wild garlic, the juice of a lemon, unsalted butter and salt and white pepper to taste. You can buy wild garlic at food markets and some supermarkets. I wouldn’t pick it in the wild unless you are certain what you are getting as the leaves of other plants can look the same but those are poisonous.
Nice vlog, Luke. Julie has a lot on her plate most of the time. It just amazes me that her energy is so positive and creative as well as generous. I’m with you on keeping the integrity of the show intact. The store is wonderful.😊👋🏼👍🏻
Another excellent addition to the Mapperton store? And 100 percent natural ingredients as well. Wild garlic from your own property. I love giving and receiving homemade gifts, especially food/desserts. Well done, Julie!
I REALLY enjoyed this video! From the opening scene of the wild garlic, the pretty blouse Julie is wearing, the shop and all it's goodies, to the pesto recipe. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞
Julie love everything about this vlog today . The field of flowers and wild garlic was beautiful. The store looks great with wonderful items. Garlic pesto looked so good and I know it tasted wonderful. Thanks Julie and Luke💕🇺🇸
Wonderful vlog as usual. Just a note that the traditional recipe for any kind of pesto ALWAYS has some type of Italian hard cheese in it (usually parmesan).
The blue bells are so very beautiful. The white blossom of the wild garlic adds to the look of peace and beauty. I'm sure the hostess of the dinner party will enjoy your home made Mapperton pesto. Really Luke begins to feel better soon.
I love home made gifts. Enjoy your party. Luke get better, I have not been around Covid yet but I hear it takes a little while to feel 100% Don't beat yourself up. I'm going to check out your store. Loved you looking through it. God bless.
Thank you Julie for another great recipe! Love watching you cook or bake and then sharing the recipe. Will check out the on line store also. Luke sorry to hear you had Covid- praying for complete healing and gaining your strength back!
When I was very young (I feel like I’m channeling A A Milne), before we moved to the states (and it was illegal to pick bluebells in England) I clearly remember my dad taking my sister and me on a walk through the woods near our house where we picked as many bluebells as our little arms could carry. We arrived home and our mom found every vase, glass, and jar she could and we had bluebells all over the house.
A scythe would make quick work, and I see masses of wild garlic there. Gosh. Lovely bluebells. And I understand bluebells wilt when you pick them. Like lilacs. Only faster. Oh, and an old trick for hand sewing, is take a bar of beeswax and running your thread thru it before sewing by hand. Then you run the thread thru your fingers to warm and smooth it on the thread. I inherited a rather large block of beewax left in My Grandmother's sewing machine cabinet. I melted it down and poured it into soap molds and made my own beeswax thread runners. Only decorative. Celtic knot molds. yeah. Really cool. And easy. An idea for your shop. 🙂(Gasp) Maybe you could make Mapperton shield molds beexwax. Ouuuuu....
Hello Julie and Luke. I watch your channel for a while and I really love it. Actually, I have got a wild garlic in my garden. If it comes to the pesto, you can make not only from a basil but as well from a fresh dill, parsley, spinach or radish. Best regards
Such a joy to awake to Julie walking through the woods at Mapperton harvesting wild garlic I did not know bluebells are a no no to pick I get it though🥰👌Love your shop a lovely assortment of goodies I’ll have the soap seaweed liquid a bottle of that liquor the lovely shop assistant so helpful and attentive😍The garlic pesto mouthwatering I shall wiz some up today minus the wild garlic I would have to seek in New Zealand Hope Luke recovers fully he still has that sense of humour that makes me laugh Thankyou Julie as always a pleasure❤️❤️😘😘👌👌💖💖
I'm rewatching your videos again and they always bring a smile ☺️! Could you make the pesto and sell it at your store? I love your recipe videos using foraged items from your home! ❤
Lol! Luke sounds like my mother! She was always afraid I would make things too spicy when I cooked. Is the wild garlic growing at Mapperton similar to the wild ramps that once grew in Chicago?
Beautiful video! I love the background music which I have not noticed in other videos. Julie is so inspiring and you both put me in such a good mood. I live in Texas, but if I ever get a chance to come to England I am definitely visiting Mapperton! Thank you all for sharing your lives with us. 💕
What a lovely memory for Luke in the future. Filming his pretty wife foraging throw the carpet of wild garlic while foraging for the cafe and her friends.
I love how Luke is trying to change his pronunciations to the American way, and the Julie doesn't even think about it and uses the British way of saying herbs. Lol.
My great-grandmother grew up in Alabama, not far from Birmingham. Walking home from school, there was a huge patch of wild garlic growing on the side of the road. She used to pick it and eat it every day. But no one never explained to me what wild garlic was! Thanks, Julie. (BTW, keep eating the wild garlic. Great-Grandma attributed her long life and sharp mind to the wild garlic. She lived to be 93 and was as sharp as a tack until the day she died.)
Luke Ramsom pesto is supposed to be garlicky! So jealous of your garlic forest and bluebell forest! Will take a while until my 6 plants becomes a meadow!
Fascinating! I never heard of making a pesto from wild garlic! I love all of your original, healthy and interesting recipes! Can you pick the garlic to sell at Farmer's Markets or just at your cafe? Great job! I love the Blue bells ! My parents had some at their place.
Wow! So many beautiful things in the store! I would go completely crazy shopping in there! Wonderful items! Can you add the soaps and candles for online shopping?
I grow blue bells in Victoria, Australia that belonged to my great grandmother originally. They are one thing that has to move with us if we ever move but then after 28 years I don’t know if that will ever happen.
pesto is a generic term for anything that is made by pounding. Traditional Italian pesto is made with basil, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic and parmasean cheese. Pesto can also be made using many other items. I find pine nuts too expensive so I use almonds. I also tend to leave out the parmasean cheese as I don't like the flavour.
If I may suggest the cards that you can buy (12 minutes in the video) can they include a bit of information about the plant or animal on the front and also some seeds so that they can also be planted?
Found info on hunting. Victorian times, however, hunting was quite literally the sport of kings. Queen Victoria writes about her hunting excursions in Scotland in her diary (see the Royalty section). In Britain and Europe, hunting was definitely the privilege of the upper classes. (It wasn't that the lower classes didn't do it; it was just that when they did, it was called "poaching.")
Fantastic Vlog today. Just wish we had as much out in bud & leaf as you do. We’re about a month behind you, so....Yeah. That field looked just stunning!! Mom was telling me my Dad & a Cousin used to harvest Wild Garlic back in the day. Wonder if it’s still there growing or the Pesticides got it from all the spraying in the 80’s/90’s. Anyway, I adore Pesto & I’ll have to give this a try. Especially as I’ve been looking for a Recipe that didn’t call for Walnuts. They literally turn my Mom’s mouth raw, so this sounds like a good swap out. If they reach the Food Processor that is. I have an addiction to Pecans, so that might be a problem. 😁 Thanks again for another great Episode!! 😊🇨🇦
Wild garlic is also called ramson. It's disappointing that the online shop doesn't offer overseas shipping but understandable when shipping cost more than the items. Ahahahaha I did buy the book based on Luke's mother's recommendation! Luke, one can substitute ingredients when making pesto and Julie one can add cheese.
@@MappertonLive Canada. Perhaps I'm not accessing the site properly but I don't see available items such as Julie highlighted and unfortunately don't have a use for the lovely apron nor postcards.
A question--I noticed that the Duke of Gloucester's mother (Princess Alice)'s father was John Charles Montagu Douglas Scott, 7th Duke of Buccleuch and 9th Duke of Queensberry. So how does he connect to the Sandwich line of the Montagus?
If you pick all of the wild garlic, you won't have any left to come back in future years. Pick some, leave some. I think here most people I've heard say no more than 30% of a patch of something, 10% if it spreads slowly. Unless it is invasive, then pick it all and have fun. Lol.
I enjoy the videos and learning about the residence, BUT....someone here mentions the place "paying for itself". When I see the commercial side (sponsors giving the boots, them asking for patrons, not even knowing what the shop offers, not having read the book), and then seeing the sister channel, I have to think: Sure, beg for charity, while not being remotely involved in the business, and, to top it off -- what self-respecting viscountess DOESN'T have her own pied-a-terre in Italy? Hope the contributors are living the same life before footing the bill for hers!
Against the law to pick bluebell’s?! I grew up in England and we always went in the woods and picked them for our mum’s. Mind you that was in the 50’s🤦♀️😁
@@emilywilliams363 I did not know this. While we have few venomous snakes in NY, we have snakes aplenty regardless. I encounter them often in my veg garden - and I jump and holler each time. Probably my neighbors think I'm very strange for all the shouting I do while gardening!
There are grass snakes and adders in the UK (bith very small) but you'd be hard pushed to see them, and probably not in that kind of area. Adders will bite but only if you accidentally stand on them. And you'd be absolutely safe walking in boots anyway.
@@2_thumbs_up_baby I don't know anyone personally it's happened to - Adders are quite shy creatures and it's rare for anyone to be bitten by them. They wouldn't attack someone - they only bite if they're accidentally trod on. An adult might feel a bit unwell - would be worse for a child - but there's an effective anti-venom.
The beauty of the forest was staggering. Head and shoulders above other flowering forests I have seen.
Spring has arrived at Mapperton! So lovely seeing Julie foraging amidst the wild garlic and bluebells.
WOW, How beautiful that field is. And Julie you add to that beauty.

You’re a very fortunate couple to have all that natural beauty right on your doorstep. And you’re utilizing so much of it too. Wonderful ! 😁
Oh my goodness how beautiful!!! This forest looks like something out of a Jane Austen novel 😍😍😍

You are so lucky!!!

Julie love everything about this vlog today . The field of flowers and wild garlic was beautiful. The store looks great with wonderful items. Garlic pesto looked so good and I know it tasted wonderful. Thanks Julie and Luke💕🇺🇸
Pesto has both Parmesan and Pecorino.
Gorgeous field of bluebells and garlic! Never thought of using pecans in pesto. Always used pinenuts. Thanks for the tip. May try that in the future.
I use walnuts in my pesto.
The recipe that Luke said was the way to make pesto is exactly the recipe I use. Basil, parmesan, pine nuts, olive oil and garlic.
Wonderful vlog as usual. Just a note that the traditional recipe for any kind of pesto ALWAYS has some type of Italian hard cheese in it (usually parmesan).

Such beauty all around you! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Yum! Wild garlic pesto. The Viscountess is so talented. What a cool gift.
Look at those beautiful files of wild garlic and blue bells you like in heaven on earth.
Stay well Luke
I love home made gifts. Enjoy your party. Luke get better, I have not been around Covid yet but I hear it takes a little while to feel 100% Don't beat yourself up. I'm going to check out your store. Loved you looking through it. God bless.

Such a magical place! I would buy a canvas of those trees
Soooo pretty!
Thank you Julie for another great recipe! Love watching you cook or bake and then sharing the recipe. Will check out the on line store also. Luke sorry to hear you had Covid- praying for complete healing and gaining your strength back!
You need to add a Mapperton cookbook to the online shop!

It's illegal to pick wildflowers in most places in the U. S., too. 😬
Luke: *I think they’re making you wild garlic pesto*
Julie: *No!* (proceeds to make wild garlic pesto)
The history book by Tim Connor is a must for anyone interested in Mapperton history, past and present. Make sure to buy a copy.
nice flower and so beutiful place on earth from philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Julie you can freeze the pesto. Also - Luke, 'pesto' just means 'sauce' and Julie, it absolutely does have parmesan in it in Italy!
I'm rewatching your videos again and they always bring a smile ☺️! Could you make the pesto and sell it at your store?

Love wild garlic , when I lived in Ireland , I would forage for this , makes great pesto x ❤️
Hola from Honduras! Really enjoyed today's story. Luke's skills as cinematographer/ editor made it seamless! 😊
Visually stunning!
Gorgeous.. so healthy
Not mentioned but I hope you toasted the nuts; makes a world of difference. Great vlog Julie. I'll be looking up wild garlic.
Lol! Luke sounds like my mother! She was always afraid I would make things too spicy when I cooked. Is the wild garlic growing at Mapperton similar to the wild ramps that once grew in Chicago?
The place is really paying for itself - wonderful. Can you dry the garlic and sell it in the shop?
If they had enough they should can or freeze it for use year ‘round at the cafe then sell the rest at the shop.
