Thanks - glad you enjoyed it and hope you can make it back to Llani sometime 👍😀

Well it has been a mixture of both. We direct sow some salad leaves and climbing french beans, for example, but we grow seedlings such as tomatoes, squash, and lettuce in pots and trays, either in the warmth of our house early in the season or on the greenhouse bench later on. We then transplant these into the beds once they reach a sensible size. We have to keep our eye open for mice though! There will be more about mice in our Year 3 video! 🐭😂

We had a great time visiting Canada - one of our favourite places in the world definitely! Would love to return - who knows, maybe one day... 🍁🍁🤞

Thanks for watching & commenting! 😍

Hi Paul, thanks! 😃 We love being outdoors and growing our own produce - we also like learning from others from all around the world. All the best with your own gardening adventures and YT channel 👍

Hi Rich, thanks for your comment. The lower part of the north wall is built into the hillside so is extremely well insulated. We haven't considered insulating the upper part of the wall as so far we're happy with the temperature maintained during the winter. It's not usually as cold here as it is in North American winters for example as our climate is warmed by the effect of the Gulf Stream. Of course that could change, so it's something we might consider in the future. You can watch our latest greenhouse video which shows greater detail of the original build if that's of interest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXrYlpmHiZygedU

@@TheTenterhookTimes Thanks for your response. I was just thinking that it might increase your growing season into winter. But now that I think about it, in Wales, you probably get so little sunlight in January and February between the high latitude and cloudy weather it might not help you much. I'm thinking about homesteading in Kentucky or Tennessee, which is more like the latitude of Algeria, though I suspect there will be a lot of overcast days, compared to my current situation in Colorado.

Hiya, so glad you enjoyed it - lovely to hear from folk over in Boston, USA! Thanks for watching and commenting ☺

That's great you enjoyed the videos - it was a really fun festival. I'm not sure if it will be staged again as we weren't involved with the organisation of the festival, that was done by an amazing local organisation called The Wilderness Trust in Llanidloes, so you'd need to ask them. They run the lovely Hanging Gardens cafe in the town. Thanks for watching! 😃

@TheTenterhookTimes great.. we're in Llanidloes this week ,we'll pop in 👍

It was a really lovely event - the highlight of our summer! Thanks for watching & commenting 😊

@TheTenterhookTimes .. We have a love for Llanidloes and are hoping to be able to move to the area in about 12 months. I also commented on your great vlog on the Glyders, which was an inspiration for me to replicate it, which I did and have to say was the best walk I've done 👍..

Thanks! 😃

Indeed! Thanks for watching 😀

No talking. Just work and results. Rare in this world of talkers. Loved it❤😊 and so did the birds

@@Rudelherz sure there's talking! Turn on your captions then you can read it. Which takes away from the video. No still can't watch it.

So glad you and your baby liked our recording! Thanks for a lovely comment 🎶🎶😊

We'll have to ask Cornelius and Alison! They are called Tomahuta and Pöhölö, written by Arto Järvelä, so it might be worth searching online too 🎶🎶😀

Merci mon ami! 😍

We bought the tickets in advance on the Jacobite steam train website 🚂😀

With a name like yours i would have pegged you as 19th Century. Anyway, scything is much cheaper and more green in small areas of hay. Combines are usually for corn (ie cereals not just maize). I don't think you know your country lore ver well especially as the grass has to be turned and dried before it becomes hay. Only then can it be gathered and bundled for the winter feeding. Combines pick the whole lot up and shred the cereals from the stalks. These stalks are not used for feeding but as bedding. So, all in all your comment was facetious.

Thanks! 👍😃

Thanks Susie, glad you enjoyed it, such a wonderful day! 😊

Our pleasure! 🌾🌼🪁💚

Hi Wendy, great to hear from you - the challenges facing you as a gardener in Western Australia make our issues seem quite minor by comparison! Well done for continuing to grow your own food despite the many obstacles 👏👏👍 Thanks for watching! 😀

Cheers!! 😂

If you check out our first greenhouse video you'll find all the details about dimensions etc 👍👍 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5PEe5qBjrt2abs

That's a brilliant way of describing it! Thanks for your lovely comment 😊

We looked up the expression "bees knees" as we couldn't remember its origin. Apparently the pollen collected on bees' knees is thought to be especially nutritious! How wonderful! Thanks for your lovely comment 🐝🐝🐝🙂🙃🙂

Thank you - it's great fun being creative in the garden - it's our playground really! 😄

Thanks for your suggestion - we'll have a think about this for future videos 👍

Thanks it's been hard work but it keeps us fit and we love spending time here 😀💚

Thanks, and welcome! 😃

That's lovely that you found it inspiring, thanks! 😊

Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed finding out about our gravel garden! 😃👍

What a lovely memory of a wonderful walk! Thanks for watching and commenting 😃👍

Aw, thank you, that's really sweet 😍
