An episode of Phillip and Benoit working together is ALWAYS entertaining! 🤣
The crack about Phillip jumping with the sheers from the last video was awesome! 🤣🤣
Love seeing Nathan again and of course Benoit always ❤
Always enjoy seeing Nathan, and the banter between Philipp and Benoit is priceless! Great garden, Anna!
🥰🥰🥰
What happened to our French instructor? Nathan went away to school and came home shy, and not one French lesson!!! Always good to see Benoit work his magic.
Maybe he has outgrown Phillip’s humor! Ha. Love seeing Ziggy living his best life!
A high five to being the ONLY CHANNEL I watch that when you speak French the txt is large enough that I don’t have to pause the video then enlarge then eventually get so tired of doing that that I unsubscribe or just never watch. THANK YOU!
Complex solutions for easy problems 😂, I love his sense of humor.
that's a classic german trait though
I love to see the father/son team working with Philip and bantering away.
It's always a pleasure to see Benoit and also, to see Nathan! It's been a long time and he's gotten taller! Love the hidden cupboard, it looks great and with Phillip's great idea to hide the corner in a hole, genius! Have a great week everyone! Love the gardens Anna! (from Sandi)
Lovely garden beds for vegetables. Nice seeing Benoit and Nathan again.
Benoit banter - yay!!! Nathan is looking so handsome. Nice to see him again.
It is always a pleasure to see Benoit and today, the bonus of seeing Nathan makes it even better!
Strawberry and rhubarb - perfection together in jams and pies.
Agree😍 i also like to just mix it through yoghurt as desert 😍
I had such a laugh at "As you can see, I am very good at finding complex solutions for simple problems." I very much laughed out loud. Of course, it's always a good day with Natha, Benoit, and Philipp are working together! I needed that laughter on this rainy Saturday in Aotearoa/NZ!
Great to see Nathan again. More Nathan
That looked like you all had fun having Nathan there today helping! The cupboard is perfect!
So happy to see Nathan back. He was apprenticing as a chef, I believe. Best wishes to Nathan.
Interweaving and integrating the Squarespace Ad into a TH-cam video, as well as creating a novel transition, is now an Olympic sport. Verbal Gymnastics. I look forward to seeing Philipp compete at the summer games in Paris.
You can freeze rhubarb for future use. I planted mine on the edge of trees and grows very well. Plenty of room for it to spread. Just pinch out the flower spikes so that the plant focuses energy on the fruit stalks.
That's a great idea!
@@HowToRenovateAChateauLook at some other comments about the rhubarb… the biggest thing is to PULL, not cut what you’re harvesting.
The garden looks great Anna. Love the banter between Phillip and Benoit, they cracked me up😂Thanks so much for the video 🤩🙌😍
Love the banter between Phillip, Benoit and Nathan 😂😂😂😂😂 Great garden Anna. Strawberries and rhubarb are one of my favorites 😍😘
Brilliant solve Phillip & also poignant summary of modern life, "complex solutions for easy problems". You have truly earned you global influencer title! 👏Bravo Sir!
Never let your rubarb go to seed.... effects the sweetness of the plant don't cut your rubarb stems pull up and towards you improves next year's growth I get such joy watching you and your beautiful family Thanks john
I was also surprised to see Anna cutting rhubarb. Never cut. Always pull. And yes, pull those shoots with seed pods on them.
Your rhubarb crop was very plentiful. I noticed you cut the rhubarb, we were tought to pull it near the base. Love the banter between Phillip and Benoit! Great to see Nathan again. Happy planting.🙏❤️
Right! Do not cut but pull the "Rhabarberstangen" 😊
yes always pulls, never cut as it leads to the remaining stalks rotting and spoiling the crown
I screamed at the TV when I saw the cutting!!!
Yes, I did too! Lol always pull it
Yes, exactly what I came to comment. The remaining piece of stalk rots and can introduce rot. Also, you can start harvesting rhubarb earlier in the spring, and keep harvesting until mid June. You don't want to let it produce that flower; remove it from the base as soon as you notice it.
Love seeing Benoit & Nathan & the play with Phillip!!
Have to say I always get a hoot out of Phillip and throw Benoit in the mix and it's guaranteed laughs! You are a lovely, lovely family in all respects and always enjoyable to watch your vlogs :-)
What a lovely man Benoit is. Such a shame he does not do health and safety! Scariest thing I have seen cutting up the centre of the molding. Your bedroom suite is going to look ultra fabulous❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
J’adore la traduction du bandage !! 😂🤣 c’est qui s’appelle lost in translation
I love how only French speakers will understand what they were really talking about 😂
😂Ouais, j'ai remarqué ça moi aussi!
j'étais pliée 🤣
J'ai ris fort et je me suis dis que les gens qui ne parlent pas français venait de perdre une belle conversation à double sens...
Yea. Nathan is back...so good to see him again. How did his venture into the culinary arts go?
Benoit’s sense of humor is, as always, priceless! 🥰
Nathan needs his own youtube channel. He'd be an instant success.
Nice to see Nathan back!
Love seeing Nathan back ❤
Love seeing Benoit and Nathan again.
Love a video with Benoit and Phillip. And a special treat to see Nathan!
I need more Benoit in my life. Delights me every time.
Thank you for moving your subtitles up a little and making them bigger, so when the audio goes from French to English I can keep the closed captions on. ❤ Love the banter with Benoit 😂
I was just now thinking about Natan & to my great surprise, there he is. It’s wonderful seeing him again… The band is back 😊
Be sure to put down plenty of mulch in your garden beds to cut down the weeding.
It will make life so much easier.
Lovely to see young Nathan again!!
Everything looking great as always!! x
It was great to see Nathan again; I've missed him. I didn't know if we'd ever see him again. I've been missing Benoit also!
That hide away cupboard needs one of those push to release push to hold catches, no handle required.
Yes! What are those called?
@@wallihaley5194 They're called push catches.
@@mark3863 , thank you!
I was thinking the same thing the moment I saw that it was to be hidden.
Yay, Nathan! Welcome back. Your sobriety is a welcome contrast to your workmates.
You don't cut rhubarb when picking it. You just pull it. . Can't wait to see the garden in full bloom😊
Pull the bottom leaves off your tomatoes and plant them deeper, half way up the plant is good. It will cause them to have a much stronger main stalk.
Yay, someone else who said the exact same thing as I did!… I also said, as the plant grows, pull off the bottom leaves until your tall plant has only bare stem for the first foot and a half to keep it drier and help prevent diseases.
OMG, THE TWO, FUNNY and lovely critics. No matter how brilliant they are, they are hilarious You two rock, Rock On!!! 8:21
12:00 if you plant your tomatoes as deeply as possible, taking off all leaves except for the ones above ground, and leave just about six inches above ground, the stem will grow roots and strengthen the plant.
Also if you remove the lowest leaves as the plant grows up, leaving a clear stem for a foot and a half high, rain water won’t splash the leaves, reducing disease potential.
Marigold are beautiful and help many plants… if you look to what helps each other, then you’ll do really well.
If you get lambs quarters growing in the garden, keep it! It’s a relative of spinach and is much easier to grow, is tastier and is healthier than spinach.
13:30. Always cut the rhubarb flower stalks if you want good strong eating rhubarb stalks… and yes, best to grow it outside of your beds and put it where it can grow freely and give you lots of delicious pies etc.
You generally PULL the stalks out, not cut them, and I immediately snap off the leaves and let them compost under the plant… I assume you know the leaves are poisonous.
You can just chunk through rhubarb and freeze it for winter use. Freeze in quart bags.
Ingenious solution conceived and produced by the “Nothing is Impossible Team!” Nice seeing a bit of Nathan. Always enjoyed the hilarity of his language lessons with Philipp. Enjoyed the vegetable garden planting too. Thank you all!
Your videos always make me happy! I think we could all use a Benoit in our lives! He's so talented, but even more important, he's an authentic human being- kind, funny, smart. More importantly, he "outbests" Phillip every time!
Good to see my old friend Nathan again. Hi Nathan glad to see you again. As old retired teacher, working all over the world, I hated most of the mentality of the kids after 2010, but when I met you through Philip, I was so sad that I can not speak French to have met in my lifte time the French kids. Maybe If they were like you, when you were young, I would have liked to teach them?. Best wishes and keep going in acumilating many skills for the future. Your generation will certainly need to be jack of all trades. Master of all!!..Best wishes
Such a beautiful message ❤️
@pamellasmith2503 Yes, a beautiful compliment
If you don't know what to do with your rhubarb, here is my recipe for a rhubarb cake with meringe on top (German tradition):
600 gr rhubarb, cut into cubes and sprinkle with a tblsp. of sugar. Take 4 eggs, split three in yellow and white, set the eggwhite in the fridge. Mix the 3 yellows with the whole egg with 125gr sugar, 1 vanilla sugar and 150 gr soft butter and zest of a lemon until creamy. Add 150gr flour, 75 gr maizena or other starch and 2 teasp baking powder. Put it in a 28 cm cake form, put the rhubarb on top (it will sink into the dough). Bake for 40 minutes on 180 C. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt first slowly, adding slowly 150gr of sugar and a teaspoon lemon juice. Make sure the sugar has dissolved totally, that makes the meringue stiff! After 40 mins in the oven the cake should start to be brown, now put the meringe on top and bake another 20 mins until it gets crusty. My experience with this cake is that it magically disappears withing 30 minutes wherever I serve it. Bon appetit!
Don’t cut the rhubarb - pull it to harvest as this will help the health of the plant and re growth. If it doesn’t pull easily then it isn’t ripe enough.
And don't pick al the stems at once!!!!! The plant needs leafs to grow and keep strong!!!
@@Misselise84They need to replant it in a place where it will have free rein to grow strong and wide, preferably somewhere they want the ground shaded out and is very fertile.
Yes, the rhubarb has gone to seed. It’s ready. Pull out the seed stalks and your rhubarb will last longer! Rhubarb is versatile, so start looking up recipes and get cooking. You can also cut up stalks and freeze them.
Every video , is a step closer to completion. Potager looks great
The plant you couldn't think the name of is Gaura (it's actually native to where I grew up in Texas). It's a nice perennial that blooms nearly the entire growing season. Wonderful wood work (as always).
Love you guys. So good to see Benoit and Nathan. The garden looks fantastic Anna. And Philip you’re an engineering master!
You all do a great job.
Good to see Nathan again 🎉🎉🎉
A neat trick I saw from a strawberry grower, put red painted stones in your strawberry patch in the weeks before they’re due to produce and the birds will peck at the red stones and realise they aren’t edible, so when the strawberries do come in the birds leave them alone because they think they’re just the inedible stones.
😁
Save eggshells, let them dry, and crumble fairly small. Put them in a shaker jar and sprinkle around the plants to add calcium
The rhubarb stalks are best to harvest when they are nearly entirely red. You can also freeze unused portions for later. Rhubarb and strawberries make an incredible desert combination.
And pull don’t cut!
@@louisegogel7973Interesting. My family has always cut it.
@@MononokeLynn It tells the plant that the leaf is gone when you pull it, and it produces more. Also, as others have pointed out, the leaf part, that is left, rots and can spread out to the nearby stalks.
If you also look at many the other comments about the rhubarb, you’ll see I’m just one of many who immediately said the same thing, to pull, not cut.
Anna whispering "I've bought way too much...oops!" is all of us at a garden centre!! Lol. I love it!
You can never buy to much...
Anna the best way to harvest rhubarb is by twisting and tugging the stems off. It encourages more stalks to grow rather than cutting. And you should definitely pull out the flowering stem
I’ve broken stems by twisting them. I find holding the stalk as close to the bottom and pulling brings them out cleanly.
It was great to see Nathan, Benoit and Phillip working together!
What a cool solution for the cabinet! Bravo!
I too am thrilled to see Nathan again! ❤
Great to see Nathan again ,he is looking great .
Always too short! 😔
Always enjoy your videos! 😂😊
Anna is the best. 👍
Thank you for a wonderful & touching video, taking us to an incredibly beautiful Memorial. I’ve always heard of Normandy but have never seen it as shown by Anna & you Philip👏👏. As a 🇨🇦 I was extremely touched, thank you both💞👏👏🫶🏻
I think the Rhubarb is already overdue, it's making seeds already and is "grown out" 😅
Great herb and veggie beds, love it❤
What would be wonderful is to have a walled Garden especially as you live in a château. This would keep away the wild boar.
I live in France and created my own walled garden with a arched door, that looks like a Secret Garden works brilliantly for a sun trap for the vegetables and keeping wildlife out. It was made out of charantaise stone.
Anna I've been so busy on the farm I haven't been able to keep up with you and Phillip. Im back for a short time to have my dose of chateau life and I must say you have both worked incredibly hard! What a transformation to the entire property. I was like being in a candy store for me looking at all the goodies :) Your vege patch is looking more fertile and Im glad you've kept going with it. Do plant radish and carrots between your lettuce to make the most of the space. Yes alliums (onions, chives, shallot etc) are excellent for deterring plant eating critters. So plant them in between plants. Right Im on to watch another of your vlogs. x
Phillip and Benoit should have there own Channel 😆 Anna you can never buy enough plants!
So good to see the comedy duo of Philipp and Benoit and the surprised of Nathan! Love your new haircut Anna❤
Rhubarb can be canned for a summer treat in the middle of winter! Great cobbler.
I love the banter between Benoit and Philip.
J’adore la traduction du bandage !! 😂🤣 c’est qui s’appelle lost in translation !
Poor Nathan. Old guys are so embarrassing.
C’est ce que j’allais dire! The joke only made sense in french, I felt exclusive getting it 😂
That was fun listening to them speaking French.
Great to see Nathan. I missed the language lessons.
here is a suggestion for the vegetable beds: build sturdier borders around them, then see if you can find old windows big enough to fit across lying flat. This way the beds function like a greenhouse. Using notched boards of about a foot in length allows you to raise them up and provide ventilation.
That way you can grow a wider variety of plants that normally would not grow without protection.
Hello: It looks like you could have
waited a week or two to harvest
the rhubarb;it is less tart when it is
redder! There is nothing like rhubarb
strawberry pie! Cheers,Sandy❤
Yea! Benoit and Nathan are back!
"Tu bandes, ou je bande ?" Ohhhhhhhhh !!! ^^
Two things about the rhubarb, firstly you are supposed to pull the stalks off from the base, not cut and secondly you can grow it in the grass in your vegetable garden…it doesn’t have to be in a bed. You could make chutney as well as crumble. Lastly marigolds and nasturtiums are great companion plants for pest control in vegetable beds. Xx
Awesome advice!
You are one lucky lady Philip makes me smile every time so funny and clever but your skills are incredible good luck to you both you have worked so hard to get a beautiful chateau 😊
Companion planting is smart gardening. Way to go, Anna! 👍You can also plant flowers and herbs that deter garden pests, but beware that some are invasive like MINT. Best to plant invasives in a pot 🪴next to the raised beds and don't let them go to seed. Deadhead after the flowers at spent and you may get a second flush of blooms!
Your plant is called "Gaura linderheimeri". The second flower you took out of your car. It's really very pretty. 😉
Yes! Thank you!
Anna and Phillip, another great video, thank you! Your garden herbs/vegetables are looking good, as well as your hallway closet and bathroom and bedroom. Terrific!! Benoit and Nathan, perfect craftsmanship!
That hidden wardrobe will look great once it’s finished..You grown lads should not torment the young lad he’s doing a great job ,he’s shy of the camera too lol!..the vegetable garden looks nice now.That is perfect size too.Its better than planting out a huge garden that you won’t get to eat a lot of the produce.The grounds are really looking beautiful now and settling down,you should get a great display with some of your planting this year too ..Love to you both and your girls 🥰
So nice to see Nathan again. It’s been a while!
Gardening is such a wonderful pasttime. I suggest you pull out that clump of basil and separate the seedlings on at least four to six inch centres. It will enhance their ability to flourish and maximize their yield.
Thanks for the tip!
I can't believe you dug out the rhubarb. It is delicious with strawberries
for sauce over ice cream, pie. Jam. A million things.
The garden looks great and the door is fabulous !!
.
Always a joy to see Benoit. Nice to see Nathan again.
Yes, I’ve gotten into companion planting…use flowers too, marigolds is good to go with tomatoes….Also, be careful with some herbs, the ones that grow running roots under ground…they will take over, best to leave them in bigger pots to them selves……
I'm also planting my veg garden this weekend. Your basil would get much bigger if you separated each of those plants from the nursery pot. A single basil can grow up to two feet tall and can be very bushy if you pinch it back. So exciting seeing your bedroom come to reality.
Thanks for the tips!
Rhubarb hints:
Don't let it flower, it becomes tough.
Leaves are poisen, discard.
Pick when smaller shoots, more tender. Pull gently, don't cut.
To freeze, chop in small pieces, put in zip lock bag. Lasts up to 6 months.
You do not need to let unthaw to make a rhubarb crunch.
Jelly made with rhubarb, strawberry Jello mix, and sugar.

Rhubarb custard
Rhubarb muffins
Rhubarb bread
Rhubarb juice/punch
As others have said, pull the rhubarb rather than cut and cover with pot when it first shoots, it will be sweeter and softer, thanks for making the videos
“Phillipe & Benoit” the greatest duo in history 😂
❤Loved this vlog. Thanks for sharing 🥰 The cabinetry is looking superb!! Clever Philipp problem solving the corner dilemma.
Not that I grow rhubarb, I learned an interesting tip from the comments, not to cut the stems but to pull them. Anna, you have done a great job with the veggie gardens. Great to see banter with Philipp, Benoit and Nathan.
Wishing you all another great week 😊
Mary from tropical 🌴 Central East Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
It is great to see Nathan. The greenhouse is a gardener's dream. 🙂🇨🇦
Rhubarb and ginger or rhubarb and orange jam. Yum 😊. Love watching you all. It’s fun. Thanks
