    Those raspberries are the size of my THUMB! Sergei is a keeper - but you know that. Your garden ❣ I remember when you moved into an overgrown mudslide with little to save. Now, it's a treasure. And I always admire you, Alla, when you work. You have such skill, talent, and imagination. And you do it always looking lovely! If I even wash a paintbrush I look like I've been digging ditches in the rain. Respect to you, Lady!😘

    You could make a bench or seating area around to cover the drainage area. It would still allow it to breathe and drain.

    A scrub brush on a pole would be so helpful to get the stones clean and not so back breaking!! Love Sergi’s cooking skills! OMG! So much joy to see a 🐸 toad! I think he will stay there forever!

    Алла! По совету соседки, я рядом с грядкой вкопала 1,5 л пластиковую бутылку ( по плечики) , налила самое дешевое пиво( закрыв донышко). Утром достала полбутылки слизняков. Они в нее залезают, напиваются, а вылезти не могут, а пиво привлекает их своим запахом. А, когда идет сильный дождь, просто закручиваю пиво крышкой, а на ночь открываю…… попробуйте! У нас в Подмосковье, вот лет 5 как появились огромные черные слизни, сжирают все!

    The floor in the summer kitchen looks great, it’s nice that you take breaks and sit in your garden , remember what the garden use to look like ? And now with the hard work you and Sergi have done how beautiful it is ! It’s a whole world filled with beautiful flowers, fruit, vegetables,birds and now one fat little frog! Good job Sergi on making lunch it looked delicious! I love the last shot of supervisor Cheri at the end of your video ,her eyes have so much expression. Adorable. Am I spelling her name correctly? We have a neighbor who has a King Charles Cavalier and when ever I see them walking I think oh there’s Cheri 🐶

    Get rid of the Slugs with beer bait... burry a shallow tin (tuna tin) in the ground at ground level the Slugs love the beer, they get Drunk and then drown it. Works like a party

    If I did a mosaic floor, I'd be tempted to paint it. Lots of colors or a design. Yours will probably be striking no matter what you decide.

    Sergi, what a man, I've been married 54 years and my husband never cooks, he might fix a sandwich for himself or scrabbled eggs if he is desperate. I don't cook breakfast or lunch, only dinner unless we eat out. The stone floor is turning out great, can't wait to see it finished. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

    The kitchen floor is coming along. You've done very well, so far. I imagine with the high humidity it takes the glue longer to dry.

    If you want to get rid of slugs naturally use the ashes from your fireplace. Sprinkle on the soil around the plants. It works!

    Salt kiil slugs and snails pit it around the edge of your garden when they crawl through the salt it desolves them. I used it when I lived in California usa..it works, but you do have to reapply after rains..

      We haven't noticed any difference yet. This tile glue has excellent properties-it forms a strong bond with various surfaces and is very durable once dry.

      Alla, I have a suggestion for the back edge of your new floor. Have you considered the concrete blocks that are half size? If you created a short wall 4feet high, you could put flat rocks on top like a ledge. That way you could hide the wet walls and still be able to get between it and the wet wall to clean the trench out. The blocks would only take up 4 inches of your floor space.

    @user-pl9ls2zp1v หลายเดือนก่อน

    BAIT, BAIT, BAIT!!! You need to buy some, organize a schedule, REPEAT! Otherwise, critters will devour the garden. Start with the metal fence near the stream. Use ropes to keep the doggy out. If need be, partition it off, do sections at a time. This is the only way to start elimination. Berries, plant in containers, and close to the door, at table height, versus either garden to keep fruit off the ground. This will make them more edible for you first. :)
