Thank you. We've read a lot about the potatoes in straw or hay and it could be really nice. We'll see how it goes in our garden, as there are always some problems with everything, but hopefully it will work out fine. There are positive signs from previous years 😊
I love how you two work together to share your interesting projects with us. Thank you for the trouble you take to make everything so beautiful and engaging ...❤
Tommy, you nearly gave me a heart attack 😂 please wear safety glasses when mulching.... a twig nearly took one of neighbors' eyes out a few years back. P.s. The garden looks beautiful springing back into life ❤
I am so happy for you two. Your garden is showing off its colors after the long winter and it is beautiful. Your hard work is coming to fruition. Thanks for sharing all the colors of flowers and the flowering fruit trees with us.
Lovely, guys. There is something called Mosquito Dunks if you have a problem with mosquitos in the pond. They are made of a bacteria that is not harmful to plants or animals.
Thanks for the tip. No problems with mosquitos yet. We'll see how it goes but their larvae are on the lowest in the food chain, so even water bugs and such like to eat them. We need various wildlife in the water and it should be ok 😊
A video full of life, literally speaking. Those flowering fruit trees contrasting with that blue sky take my brearh away because of the beauty. Fingers crossed a meteorological "black swuan" will not appear and produce a catastrophe, as Peter said. Tommy you was being forced to eat those weird keaves and say they were delicious!!! And what's next? Ha ha. Just kidding. Guys, impressive the quality and colors of the images. Congrats Next Sunday, Happy Mother's Day to Eva and Peter's mom ( name?). Until next time.
Thank you, Liliana. Happy to hear you liked how it looked in our garden with the fruit trees in full bloom. The contrast with the blue sky is what we love too 💙 Tommy is a brave boy and he totally embraces all the things I throw at him, haha 😀😅 We'll send your wishes to our moms (Eva and Veronika) 😊
What a lovely spring for your garden. In the desert 🌵where I live the fruit trees bloomed in late February, and now in early May we are usually in the low 30Cs . The last of the snow is melting off the high mountain peaks as we prepare for the very hot weather. I look forward to your continued progress and new videos of your garden and country home Tommy and Peter 👋🏻👍❤️
Lovely to see all the blossoms on your fruit trees guys...and amazing to see you plant potatoes in hay. I have never seen that before. I love how you guys have researched and grown your knowledge over these last years...and then share it with us. The pond will be amazing as you spend time developing it properly...but you concerned me with your last comment Peter. If there are difficulties ahead, I'll keep my thoughts full of positivity for you both ❤❤
Thank you 😊 We are curious to see how it goes with the potatoes. Hopefully well from what we've read, but you never know in our garden 😀 See you next time, thanks for the positive thoughts (you don't have to worry) 😉
What a contrast from winter to spring. Your garden is truly beautiful with all the colorful flowers. I especially like the fritillaries. Am not familiar with them. They are so colorful and unusual looking. All of your flowers are very nice. The addition of a pond will really add to the beauty. The wood chipper will come in handy and useful. What an unusual salad with linden leaves. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Tony
Hi Tony, thank you 😊 It's always such a nice change in spring with all the flowers and colors. Busy times have started with all the small projects, but we love spending time in the garden, so it's something we always look forward to 😊
Don't forget to get some guppies or beta fish to help control mosquitoes in your new pond. You can get gold fish but they will make pond water dirty. During your cold winters just lay some plywood over pond with hay bales so water won't freeze solid. The fish will survive
We are not sure about fish, because when one feeds them and also when they poop in the water, it adds a lot of nutrients to the water and algae can grow a lot. We need to figure everything out, water plants and so on. We are learning as we go, so we'll see what happens 🙃
Guys, the garden looks so great! I think you've seen our spring bulb flowers here in Australia so you know that I just love them - that new bulb flowers garden you've planted will just get better and better. Here's hoping the frost stays away for you. Be sure to enjoy every second of Spring. 🙂
Yes, the bulb flowers in your garden are so pretty 😊 We are looking forward to ours getting better. We just hate the grass in the most parts of our garden - it's such a terrible thick agressive variety, it wants to overgrow everything and so hard to get rid of. We try to mulch, but it can be a fight 😀 Luckily tulips and daffodils are faster than the grass, so it's ok for them 😊 Thank you 😉
@@tommyandpeter ahhh.....how interesting perspective is - see, I was thinking "I wish we had lovely thick grass like that!" Our sheep would make short work of it. I highly recommend sheep if you can have them.
Haha, you wouldn't want this one! It's not a normal one, it cuts your skin when you touch it and it grows in these terrible clusters (not evenly covering the soil like normal grass), ugh 😀
Peter, now where did you find that shirtless gardener 🤤. My heart started to palpitate 😂. I hope the weather stays nice so you have lots of delicious food. And I noticed there are quite a lot of purple flowers now. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing😊…I see that the LARGEST cherry tree is Queen of the garden…I would love to go camping with Peter because he knows the weather and many edible plants to eat in the wild…I may try to plant potatoes like you guys do, looks interesting….The new pool install looks a bit “ shallow “ for diving into? Please no dark clouds on the horizon😢, I just couldn’t bear any bad news coming from you guys…take care❤
It is quite fun to forage various plants in the wild. But one really has to know them, there is no room for mistakes. We'll see how it goes with the potatoes, hopefully well, but you never know here in our garden. From what we've read it looks promising, we've also seen positive glimpses in the garden. See you next time and no worries 😉
The pond is not for diving into, so no refreshment for us there, haha. It's just a small one, to attract more wildlife in the garden. We would love some frogs for example 😊
Hello, I enjoy watching all your videos, Richard from SK, Canada. I love how you show us your gardening skills, , i just harvested my garden, potatoes, carrots, onions, cucumbers, like they are all small, i didnt water them much, I know better for next summer lol start early Spring, I am a single gay Cree man and love my life, Mwestus...means Later in my Cree language I do not say goodbbye So Mwestus guys
The flowers are beautiful. Great job! At first I thought Tommy was digging a grave but glad it was for the pond. Any thoughts of fish in the pond (small ones) with the water lilies. Happy Spring!
Thank you 😊 Luckily just a pond, not a grave 😀 No fish, because then it's much harder to keep the water clean, we'll explain in upcoming videos. Water lilies sound good 😊
We don't have that many mosquitoes here and there are already two ponds on the neighboring property. It seems fine, so it should be ok here too. Apparently ther larvae are on the lowest places in the food chain and even water bugs and similar creatures eat them, so we hope various wildlife will move here and it will be all balanced. It's just a small pond, to attract frogs for example. We love the idea of a bit of water in our garden, it brings more life 😊
@@tommyandpeter Thanks guys for the fast reply. We do have them here in the States for about $65.00. I also found one that was a little larger for about $15 more so I bought it instead. But thanks again. You always reply to me and I appreciate it.
Please wear protective glasses when shredding, I would have love to do work there before my disability, are you over looked as I would be naked gardening xx
After all your travels to exotic places it's good to see you both back in the "yard," anticipating the new season of growth and beauty. Good luck!
It's great to come home and continue developing our garden. It's a lot of work but kinda relaxing for the mind 😊 Thank you 😉
I love the concept of planting potatoes in straw...I will have to try that as well! Thanks for the growing tip!
Thank you. We've read a lot about the potatoes in straw or hay and it could be really nice. We'll see how it goes in our garden, as there are always some problems with everything, but hopefully it will work out fine. There are positive signs from previous years 😊
The garden is looking spectacular, great job. It gets better every year. I always look forward to your Videos!
Thank you very much, Ron 😊
I love how you two work together to share your interesting projects with us. Thank you for the trouble you take to make everything so beautiful and engaging ...❤
Thank you, Ray 😉 We appreciate it 😊
Howdy Boys!! Always love to see Tommy without his shirt on! ;)😘 Big bear hugs for you both from Kenny in Ohio USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Kenny. Not sure what to admire first, the flowers or Tommy 😁
Tommy, you nearly gave me a heart attack 😂 please wear safety glasses when mulching.... a twig nearly took one of neighbors' eyes out a few years back. P.s. The garden looks beautiful springing back into life ❤
Next time we will put at least sunglasses on 😎😀 Thank you 😉
I am so happy for you two. Your garden is showing off its colors after the long winter and it is beautiful. Your hard work is coming to fruition. Thanks for sharing all the colors of flowers and the flowering fruit trees with us.
Many thanks. We always love seeing the progress and we observe even tiny changes every day, it's so nice 😊
Your place looks so beautiful with all the blooming trees and flowers. You are making your own paradise ❤
Thank you very much, we really like spending time in our garden 😊
Very nice to see the garden again, gentlemen ! The pond will look amazing, I can't wait to see the final result !
Thanks! We also can't wait but it will take some time to establish 😊
Safety!!
Tommy & Peter you have such a beautiful garden.
Thank you, Jay 😉
It's great to see the garden coming alive! Looking forward to seeing how the pond develops. I hope these "dark clouds" are nothing serious.
Thank you! We are also looking forward to seeing how it goes with the pond, it's quite a fun project and something to observe 😊
Lovely, guys. There is something called Mosquito Dunks if you have a problem with mosquitos in the pond. They are made of a bacteria that is not harmful to plants or animals.

Love the pond idea - see you guys next time - bye 🤗
Thank you, see you soon 😉
I just noticed that the numbers are going up! Yay! 6K here we come!
The speed is like a snail but better than nothing 😀 Yay 😁

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, glad you liked it 😉
Thank you for this very beautiful video! It was such a pleasure to watch!
Happy to hear you liked it, thanks 😉😊
I didn't finish my comment. The beauty of your video is not least the values you share. I am very happy to follow the two of you

@tommyandpeter you can add an alagei eater. Plus the water plants will help control the a t
Yes, we'll see how it goes, and maybe later even fish would be a possibility 🙂
Great video guys. It is always a joy to watch the process of spring unfolding into summer. Your garden is amazing ❤❤
Thank you, Andrew 😊 We love this time of the year when many warm months are ahead of us 😊

Haha Greg, I don't even know how I got so lucky 😁 Various colors of the flowers pop up, but the purple is really nice 💜
looks great guys ..goid idea with the potatoes , might try that as my soil is not great either .
Thank you, Simon. We'll see how it goes with the potatoes, we don't recommend yet, but hopefully they will grow fine 😁

@@tommyandpeter Don't have many mosquitoes? :o Your lovely garden is even more of a paradise than what has been shared then!
It looks like you have a lot of land there. Please tell me what chipper you have. I really like it.
Hi, it's this one: www.fieldmann.com/electric-woodchipper/fzd-5015-e
It's a Czech brand, so not sure if they ship their products anywhere else...

First we need to wait for our natural mixed hedge to grow before we can let go of our clothes in the garden 😀
