    If you are going to plant Tomatoes, bury a banana under the roots - - makes the tomato strong and produce more tomatoes. Watching Nori makes me sad because my first dog looked just like him and he was my constant companion - - I rescued him when I was four years old - he lived 13 years. I am now 79 years old and still tear up when I think of him.

      Great for my hydrangeas last year fabulous flowers also egg shell

    Hello Willie and Sarah, great video today. I like how you're a vegetables in your planter boxes are coming along. What a great trip out for your first boating experience of the season. I have a seafood allergy so I don't eat seafood. But I can appreciate your effort in catching lobsters and crabs for your meal. Looking forward to the next video as always.

    Ignore the detractors. We were told we were wrong for planting our onion sets out in October, "they will never grow" we were told. Guess what, we have loads of onions each year (and Garlic). Half of the fun of growing your own is learning what works and what doesn't.

      The most fun I’ve had in ages. Watching Nori help you gardening. So pleased the first launching for the season was a success, Betty looks terrific. I used to make oatmeal barriers in the garden for the slugs and snails. They used to get bogged

    Hey eco-friendly team you can get hessian netting for your climbing veg, it lasts a few seasons and means you can avoid the plastic stuff. Enjoying as always.

  • @lieuwina
    @lieuwina 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Listening to the thunderstorms was so relaxing. Nori is so naughty trying to eat the netting etc etc. It is all a learning curve growing veg and flowers. My thoughts on the matter is there is no right or wrong, there is learning and experimenting and trying by trial and error. Enjoy your adventure in gardening. That was very gentlemanly of you to let those other fisherman fish for their goods and you going to a different location. The crab and lobster dishes looked delicious and I enjoy your videos very much.

    I don't know if it works on Springers, but the best "do NOT chew on THAT!" product I ever found was cherry flavored chapstick, or any cherry flavored lip balm that is made mostly of wax. Rub it on the surface of whatever and the first time they taste it, most dogs run away.

  • @bonnerdebbie
    @bonnerdebbie 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Wonderful video as usual. Betty looks awesome, congrats on catch for first drop of the season. The scenery getting the fish box, floats ,etc. was stunning. Planters look great full of hopeful food, mine is closer to the ground and my Yorkie loves to chase lizards through it. I am getting about half the veggies I should. Oh Well. Fun bloopers. I wish you a week of beauty and peace, may be difficult seeing Nori is at that toddler stage, wanting to be in everything. Jack is proving how much of a gentleman he has become. Thanks so much!!

    I recently watched a few videos on here about plastic welding. If you get an old soldering gun you can quite solidly repair plastic items. I got into it for repairing kayaks. And Willie can still use zip ties, just as welding rods.
    Thanks for the beach cleanup. Read articles years ago about how plastics from here in Nova Scotia ride the currents and end up over there in the UK. Actually Scotland iirc.
    All the best!

    It’s lobster season on the East coast of Canada now.
    You deserve it after all your work.
    It’s great finding so many usable things on the shore.
    I felt great empathy for Jack Spaniels being the good boy he is. He deserves a good stick.
    The garden is fantastic.
    Spring peas are so tempting I think tasting a few will encourage more growth.
    Just a thought….
    What a week on the Isle of Skye.

    I chop up banana skins, tea bags and ground eggshells, put it all in a container and fill it up with water, leave it for a few weeks and you have a natural liquid fertiliser. The best for your tomatoes is to chop up the leaves of the comfrey plant and do the same, after a few weeks it smells like sewage but you get beautiful sweet tomatoes. It's great to watch you back in my home country, I'm living in Spain (wife's choice) growing grapes, lemons, figs, herbs, garlic and cauliflower. Hard to keep the feral cats off of it though. Great video, always looking forward to your next adventure.

    if you want a fun diy project with carrot seeds, you can make your own seed tape using a bit of loo roll and some flour and water for glue. Helps with the spacing. I did it for a wee test a few years back and i couldn't believe how well it worked. Saves having to thin out any seedlings which can attract the flies.
