    Happiness is built bit by bit. The challenges that appear comes to show you how strong you need to be to overcome them and feel the satisfaction it brings the family. Y’all are doing really well in every step you’re renovating. Keep smiling and the positiveness. One day you’ll be able to see Nox happy playing in the farm and embracing her great, sweet dads. Congratulations. LOVE, LIVE, LEARN n LAUGH MAC

      How does that go?....Acts of nature are slow and constructive while acts of god are fast and destructive. We should all be acts of nature.

    The joy of home ownership and renovating. There is always something else to do. The floors are coming along nicely. The toolshed shelves look great. Though some crucial steps were overlooked, it worked out in the end. Gardening is like that sometimes. The weather or garden pests interrupt the plans for a perfect crop. But like you say, it is what it is. Looking forward to the next video ❤🌈

      Haha we never have to sit back and wait, always something else to do. We love the floors!

    Homegrown courgettes make the BEST pasta sauce. Your 'big one' is big enough...... any bigger and they become marrows (in the UK) but you can scoop the middle (seed pulp) out and fill with a savoury filling then bake. Yum!

      Yeah we have to harvest them sooner but we are just a bit too busy haha. Thanks. Take care.

    That zucchini is good for bread. Try planting Dragon tongue beans. I prefer them to green or wax beans. You can paint the doors Barney purple. The shelves will be a great help.

    Jammer van de Moestuin dat het niet helemaal liep als gepland, maar al doende leert men ! Wij maakten in het begin ook dezelfde "fout"met de Courgettes en hadden er veel teveel, in het begin gaven wij ze aan familie en vrienden maar die waren ze op een gegeven moment ook beu...toen hebben wij er Chutney van gemaakt met mini maiskolfjes en paprika en zo meer en dat is erg lekker bij pittig eten of salades, en toen wilden de rest ze ook wel weer hebben 😅😅!!
    Maar nu doen we het maar met één plant en je kan de bloemen ook prima eten. Het rek voor de gereedschaps kratten is een prachtige oplossing ! Lekker overzichtelijk en dan hoef je niet overal te zoeken, jammer dat gereedschap soms zo snel kapot gaat en net altijd als je het gebruiken wilt ! Vloer ziet is er al perfect uit en benieuwd hoe die eruit ziet als die straks behandeld is. Maak er weer een mooie week van en tot de volgende video !!

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ah ja volgend jaar weer een kans. We hebben niet eens veel planten maar er komen er zo veel aan! Oh klinkt lekker. Dankjewel. We zijn heel blij dat we de vloer hebben kunnen redden. Fijne dag en tot vrijdag!

    Great video once again and, for me the storage build is inspiration…this morning, I am finishing up my coffee, watching your video…all before assembling shelves to unpack and organize all my tools ( we recently moved to a new house and have been concentrating on planting trees and doing landscaping but now it is time to organize our tools and “stuff” because all of those things are either unpacked or lying around on the basement floor….thanks for the inspiration to get organized!) and a big thank you for your vlog! Cheers guys, from Ottawa Canada

    Nice to see fruit on your small trees. They must be happy. Thankfully your dad watered them. As a child, I used to have to carry a 5 gallon bucket in each hand, up a hill, to water the fruit trees. I know his pain! Kudos to Dad again!!

    Sorry Braam, I have to take Simon's side with regards to the cabinet doors. They have so much character you have to use them somewhere.👍😋

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Hahaha yeah! Thanks. They are amazing. But I have to be honest. We couldn’t keep them where they were. Take care.

    • @WalkiTalki
      @WalkiTalki หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I agree. We fought about our old stuff when we bought a 100year+ house. We finally fixed them up and when we added onto our kitchen the tree that the cabinets were made from was extinct. Now used doors cost more than an entire IKEA kitchen set. I'd have it no other way.

      When courgettes are that big they get fibrous. you can cut them in half, scrape out the seeds. Then make up a tomato based ragu. You can add lamb mince and mushrooms and stuff both halves of the courgette with the mixture and sprinkle with cheese and bread crumbs. Then bake at 180 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes until tender. Nice with salad or even fries!!

  • @MarianneInmarsilia
    @MarianneInmarsilia หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    You should pick your courgettes whilst they’re small…better tasting, better texture. When they get too big, they become fibrous and dryer as they go to seed ! You can make zucchini bread or muffins.

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah but we forget them and when we check in like 2 days they get enormous haha. Thanks so much. Take care.

    Happy that your dad was able to save the fruit trees. They have always been my favorite part of a farm.
    I don’t know if it’s possible, and it would be a very big job. But a sprinkler system could be a great help. There will be more dry days without rain, and I hope vacations away from home. Sprinklers could save lots of trees and gardens.

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm very happy the trees are alive! I hope next year will be at least a bit more dry. this year was terrible and nothing like the previous years. Sprinklers would be lovely! Have a wonderful day. See you on Friday!

  • @RobertEdward-y7b
    @RobertEdward-y7b หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    It’s a good idea to clear a circle of grass around the fruit trees , it cuts down the competition for moisture from the grass then put down a circle of ground fabric and cover that with bark clippings to keep the weeds down

    • @vangaze

    Courgettes(zucchini in America) are lovely for making zucchini bread. The kitchen is coming along nicely. It was great to hear the fruit trees survived as the first few years are the most critical. Your storage unit should be a big help in keeping your shed organized. It is nice to see how you are always able to shift gears to other projects when you encounter obstacles and also keep a positive attitude and not get discouraged by any delays.

    Hi Guys! I enjoyed this weeks Vlog. I agree with Simon about the doors. Hang on to them and as you renovate you may find a perfect spot to use them in. Cleaned up a bit I think they will look great. Gardening is a great activity to share with Nox as she grows up. It's a good way to teach children where our food comes from and how it grows. When my daughters were young I always included them in gardening. Besides the normal garden plants, we would also grow fun things like pumpkins, gourds and sunflowers. Have a great week! Bill

    Please bolt your tool storage to the wall. So when baby grows she won’t try climbing it. The thought is when you guys do your work out like before she will want to see what she can do. Also inside Chester drawers. Just a safety tip.

    Hey Boiz, we've been following you for a few months and it's been real fun! Me and my husband Steve have renovated 4 properties (here in the US) so it's interesting what you are going thru in France with an older property, a whole different set of challenges. Our niece bought a property in Nantes France and is renovating it with her boyfriend so I sent her your links so she could check out what you are doing. She is an artist specializing in Metal work and in fact one of her projects was the metal horse that was floating on the Seine during the Olympics! All the best from Arizona and we love watching your videos. Be well!

    Goggle lasagna gardening and use raised beds, build beds from scrap wood at least 24 inches tall, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. Do not build beds any wider or any longer!!! Use the huglekultre method to fill the beds this Autumn and beds will be ready to plant out in the spring :).

    • @WalkiTalki
      @WalkiTalki หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Ive suggested similar. Raised beds and mounds are way easier to maintain and a cheap timer on a drip hose is enough for watering. Harvesting is 100s times easier when its in loose elevated soil. Plus past videos show a lot of random timber about the property.

    Hello boys, another great video from you, when you planted the fruit trees did you wrap the root ball with a metal net so that the mice cannot eat the new roots? Remember to prune the trees now in the autumn, then they will sprout better in the spring. They also need 2-3 years to bear fruit

    Dear Bram and Simon, I love the enthusiasm with which you approach life! I'm guessing that the music that you use in your videos you have discussed and decided that it attracts viewers to your channel. Speaking as an American.......it sounds so American and, I'm guessing like many Americans we are trying to find respite (escape) from our culture to see what two charming, fun Dutch guys are doing to create a positive life. Would you consider trying some different music? Not sure what but rest assured that no matter what you decide, I will continue to appreciate your wonderful videos!

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much. Haha yeah the music is a difficult one. I think it's too loud sometimes but TH-cam wants a constant sound level so they pump it up... I see what you mean but I'm afraid the American music found its way to Europe. I can't use all the music because of rights and all. Will at least search for more. Thanks. Have a wonderful day.
