    Thank you everyone for the nice comments :) We are very much enjoying our stay at Sara and Steve's. We feel like a little family with them and Sofiane.
    For the people asking, we are landing in Melbourne the 1st of September and will look for a job there. Clem is a professional pâtissier - chocolatier and looking for a pastry chef job in a bakery or café. Sven has a PHD in biology and looking for a job in research. And of coure we are also looking for a place to rent in Melbourne.
    A lot of you guys seems to be from Brisbane and we would be very happy to visit while we are in Australia!

    Love your new furniture...it really fits the room nicely. The white bushes are what is known as Bridal Wreath here in B.C., anyway. I love it and I have one that is over 40 years old...a real show piece now! They grow pretty big, but lacy and when they drop their very tiny petals in the breeze, it looks like fallen snow...don't plant them too close to the entrances. Actually, we're experiencing the exact same weather you're all having in France...the South Coast, Vancouver area is mimicking your weather, but no snow here!!!! I love watching and listening to your helpers, what a blessing they must be!

    • @LCamp-cr7fs

    Darkening the wood on the furniture will certainly compliment the fireplace and the fabric is light in color enough so it can handle a bit darker woof. Great find!

    “Pivot” was an unexpected pleasure and absolutely cracked me up! For years, anytime a sofa needs to be moved across the room or to a new residence, it is a requirement in my family to yell “pivot” in honor of Ross! I enjoyed perusing the garden center with you. Can’t wait to see all your new goodies in their new homes and when they grow up big and strong! Your volunteers are incredibly talented and extremely helpful... and in so many ways! I know you must be so grateful for everything they do! Fixing the power outage was incredibly fortunate and the food preparations are amazing. I’m not sure I’ve ever had homemade hamburger buns at anyone’s home before. Wow! Just wow! Those little luxuries are the things I adore! A lot of time and love goes into that! Bravo! 👏🏻😍🥰

    • @ManorandMaker

    • @elisabeth6108
      @elisabeth6108 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Another hint is to use newspaper 3-4 layers thick under the straw (or any mulch) to prevent weeds. It will biodegradable in the course of a year. For a wide spaced planting like this another option is to use cardboard which will last a couple of years. With grounds the size of yours you want to minimize weeding! I mulch with compost so I am always renewing the soil as well as retaining moisture and suppressing weeds.

    Morning Steve & Sara, the chateau was extremely busy with lots going on. The furniture looks great, I am sure many happy hours will be spent in there. The volunteers are so nice, just going about their business helping and organising. The trip to the nursery was lovely, well chosen plants "for now"! Hopefully not too much sun on the hydrangeas or else the flowers will burn. It will be a beautiful show when they are more established, which will not take too long. The food is absolutely amazing, and the burger buns looked wonderful. Cannot buy that quality. It is good to see so many people living together helping and no issues. I am sure you will agree, making France as your final destination for a lifestyle was a excellent choice. Many happy days (year) Kind regards

    Your coral-flowered shrub is Flowering quince (Chaenomeles). We cut long branches when it's blooming and if the branches are crushed at the ends, they will hold for a couple of weeks in water - we use them at church. The white shrub you called snowdrops is a Spirea - all sorts of useful, long-blooming shrubs in that family. When hydrangeas are happy, they spread a lot, so five may be just fine.

    Hi Sara, just to say that it's really easy to take cuttings from Hydrangeas, you can even take some from neighbouring plants ( it's not really stealing !! ) My ones have all suffered from the frost so despite their having really taken off I'm going to have to cut them back down again. Next time you come I will give you some lemon geranium cuttings that took last year as they are great for warding off flies and nastiquoes !

    That looks like a Chaenomeles or decorative flowering quince. Lovely hardly realisable and trouble free shrub. ( other colours available)
    Used to be called Cydonia and Jsponicas in old books
    It doesn’t bear the large fruits of its cousins but it will bear smalll waxy highly scented fruits in a good year and they can be made into a preserve. Place one in bowl of apples and it will scent the apples.
    A small fruit a good addition to an apple pie.

    I love the three piece sofa and the two large armchairs. They look in good condition and suit the space well. I also noticed that the colour wood also goes well with the staircase. They look very comfortable and it is obvious they seat a lot of people. Well done! You've got a great purchase. I also love all the wonderful plants you have obtained. It's really fantastic to see the happy hard working young people and the incredible experiences you are giving them.

    The bush that you were looking at that has the awesome coral color flowers is called a quince Bush here in America or a 🔥bush.

    Beautiful room! Check to see if "Knockout Roses" work in your climate. They grow into shrubs and are covered in blooms from Spring until Fall. I have "Razz Dazz" and they are gorgeous! They come in a few different col9rs and are very low maintenance.

    The bush you didn't know what it was may be a Rose of Sharon. I didn't get to see much of it but the flowers look like it may be....FYI...

    Send some of your rain and snow to Southern California and we’ll send you our 90° heat! In all seriousness, I love the small things you do to improve your chateau. It always makes a huge impact 🥰

    The white bush with the “ trailing” spires of little white flowers is called Spirea or commonly called Bridal Wreath here in the Uk. It flowers in the spring prolifically the little white flowers and does work well as a cut flower. I often used it in spring wedding floral arrangements. You mentioned “ do not prune” however I’ll have to check on that because I can’t remember if it only flowers on new wood or one years growth or old wood. It’s all looking great.

    I love spirea ( the white plant) , I early summer for me when they bloom. I have neighbour who loves snowdrops ( Galanthus) and have 7 different types in his garden.

    The yellow flowers you liked and called yellow popcorn is what we used to call old ladies pocket books! Also known as Calceolaria..nice video! I love the furniture but I would definitely darken the wood.

    Its hard to tell but I think the pink flowered bush is possibly rose of Sharon. In the hibiscus family

  • @lilirehak5569
    @lilirehak5569 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The pink is a Quince, I believe. Love the delicate white flowers you chose!

    Deborah here. Potted plants have gotten so expensive here in the states. hydrangea are very simple tp propagate. That helps keep cost down when wanting to do big plantings. Looks like you have good help there. I love to plant your white pick with Azaleas. They bloom at the same time and make nice arrangements. Happy planting! So fun to watch you make your lovely chateau your own while preserving the history.

    • @ManorandMaker

      Good to know! Maybe we'll do the propagation next year.

    Always something happening at the chateau. Amazing guests, gardeners, electricians, cooks……..is there anything that they cannot do? I knew that the videos were not doing justice to your lovely home. Thanks as always for sharing. Hugs from Toronto. 🥰

    Too many different patterns in the salon now with the new lounge suit - maybe swap the carpet with a plain color one :p
