Top 10 gifts for gardeners

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Yep, germination does not just depend on temperature (and sometimes light levels.) Humidity is also important, too.

[@merrillmoorerealestatebrok274]

Could listen to your accent all day.❤ oh and thanks for the great tips!

[@Leanne_N]

Kate’s idea for tea is right up my alley! 😂. A great list for sure 🥂

[@eliandkate]

Ha ha ha mine too... can't beat a wee maker's mark 46 👍

[@kyramcquary1879]

New gardener here and I had no idea that you could sharpen certain tools - so thanks!

[@eliandkate]

@@kyramcquary1879 you can sharpen them all if you know how, saves a fortune 😁😁😁😁

[@sunflower_sally6650]

Apart from the secateurs, I know what'll be om my Christmas list, thank you x

[@eliandkate]

Hurrah

[@GardenerScott]

Great list of gifts! And I love the Eli & Kate merch. 😀

[@eliandkate]

So go on then, how many of those items do you own (in duplicate maybe)? Well maybe Santa might have a wee Kate and Eli shirt for you :D

[@carolined5929]

Gardening a while now, and still found this list very helpful, you know you should have these things, they will be reused many times, gift them to yourself if you know no one has a clue what you need/want :-)

[@eliandkate]

ha ha ha I thought I was the only person who gifted to myself when I knew I needed something and hints didn't work :D

[@maxinemitchell3215]

The drink at the end is hilarious, funny Kate 😂 I’m finding it hard to believe you have a junk bit in your greenhouse 😂😂

[@eliandkate]

Like everyone has a junk drawer in the kitchen 😂😂

[@willowgrove631]

Great ideas! I would love one of those potting trays & I seriously lust after a hori hori knife! 😂

[@eliandkate]

Well if you are on the nice list maybe santa will bring you one

[@willowgrove631]

The Kitchen Garden with Eli and Kate 😉 fingers crossed!

Ok now, I must say how long I have waited for a straight to the point video of a gardeners must haves!! Love your style energy and enthusiasm! This is my 3rd year as a gardener and honestly watching your vids an tutorials has tremendously answered and inspired me to be braver, adventurous and to keep going!! God bless you and yours!! From “the copper garden”

[@eliandkate]

Ohhhhhh that's lovely to hear. You be brave!!!!! We'll be here to support you, encourage you and of course dust you off if you fall 😀😀😀

Great list of gardening items. Thank you ! Great content!

[@eliandkate]

Glad its useful 😀😀

[@tammyohlsson7966]

You make me smile and gardening fun! Blessings!

[@eliandkate]

That's the hope.... life is too dreary... we all need to remember it's meant to be fun 😀

[@TheEnglishladyskitchengarden]

Every single one of those things would be useful in any gardeners stash.

[@eliandkate]

Oh gardeners stash... I love that 😍

[@stephenbrammall2565]

Hopefully a Hori Hori is on it's way from my two boys after they asked what I want for Christmas, as for the big flexible tubs, I grew spuds in mine last season and hope to do the same next year..

[@eliandkate]

Is it wrong how much I love those big buckets?

[@AfonbachDesigns]

Fantastic video, will be sharing with my family so they have plenty of ideas of what to get me! I’d love a Hori Hori

[@eliandkate]

Dropping less than subtle hints?

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

What great gift ideas. All of the above for me please santa. 😅

[@eliandkate]

😂😂😂😂 we can dream yeah?

[@christinesmyth5491]

I love my potting tray. It's been with me through 2 house moves. It's spent time outside in all weather. Now ive got my greenhouse it is pretty much the most used item.

[@eliandkate]

I absolutely love mine too.... would be such a pain without it.

[@kathleensimons7062]

I love this. I'm about to start a greenhouse soon, and now I know the essentials I need. Now, to flutter my eye at my hubby. 😉

[@eliandkate]

😂😂😂😂 good luck with that

[@antonia5682]

Those are all brilliant ideas, many of which I use myself all the time. We are also Victorinox 'Mountaineer' Swiss Army twins! So useful. I have a potting tray and have not used it yet. And I think the reason is as simple as it's placed at the far end of the staging in the greenhouse, and when there's a lot of plants in there (which is usually), I just can't get to it! I need to move it so that it's at the end by the door.

[@eliandkate]

Shock... you mean you didn't rearrange your greenhouse after my greenhouse organising video?

[@tammyohlsson7966]

Thanks so making this! Shared it with my husband and he took your advice! Woo hoo!

[@eliandkate]

Fantastic! What fabulous things did he surprise you with then?

[@ForBeaFilms]

THANK YOU ELI! Just had the best BIRTHDAY BONANZA after my wife came across this video in my YT feed (accident? coincidence? :D) and shared it with the family. I only started growing veg late this summer and loved it and now it's dark and cold and I'm still in the garden with a hori hori fending off the winter blues with plants growing and seedlings sprouting! Love the channel (the garden planner spreadsheet! LUSH!). Happy Winter Harvesting from a newbie down south (and a Glaswegian ex-pat)!

[@eliandkate]

Awww that’s brilliant. I’m so glad it helped everyone get you some fabby presents!!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@susanmackenzie1959]

Loved the last bit with the "tea" hahaha! I learn a lot watching you both and laugh as well...thank you...I will be asking for a houri houri for my birthday...not sure about the spelling...

[@eliandkate]

Oh horihori are amazing tools. I think everyone on the internet has one now… I have one away … wow…. Years ago now when we hit 5000 subscribers I think

[@cbg4662]

Oh you won't be disappointed 😀

[@paulinemorris5186]

just found your channel and really enjoying it. I have a 10x8 rhino greenhouse and a 10x10 poly tunnel in the garden but I don't really use the tunnel much as we have some large trees casting shade in the area but we will remedy that this year as the trees will go. After 9yrs wait we got a half plot allotment a year ago and are making good use of that. Happy growing in 2022

[@eliandkate]

Sounds like LOADS of growing space 😀😀😀

Kate and her Kentucky bourbon!!! 🤪

Hi Eli, I have just asked my hubby to buy the Okastune secateurs & holster.(I've ordered them through your link) I have a pair of Niwaki secateurs off hubby last Christmas and do want another pair so, thanks for the reccomendation. Great video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@eliandkate]

Oh those are nice, they are a step up from the Japeto ones I had in this video. Good solid secateurs and the blade holds an edge nice

[@barryroberts6470]

Great video and ideas, i love my Hori Hori knife so useful to have in the garden, not sure if i missed it or not but mine has the MM and Inches inside on the curved bit to get your depth etc so yep defo recommend the Hori Hori. Weird thing is i have subbed to your channel ages ago and just found this video from before xmas, i even did the bell bit and ticked all and you are not the first channel it's happened to from me. So apart from re-subscribing again, i want to wish you both a very belated Happy Christmas and New Year or early one ha ha ha. Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (Wirral)

[@eliandkate]

Awww thank you Barry 😊 Yeah there are lots of wired things going on with youtube.... maybe unsubscribe and resubscribe and see if if helps? Sounds like you've missed loads

Wow you’re organised

[@denysehopkins6335]

Eli, i could be wrong, but can you buy rubberised tubing for the handles of your secateurs to make them comfortable to use

[@eliandkate]

You probably could, I think that was an idea Kate had but we never did get around to it.

[@geofflowton4165]

i could find some use for that handy tool

[@samuelbarvet2641]

Just subscribed to your channel, loved the video and picked up few ideas for my allotment, thank you 🙏

Thank you for sharing these ideas-I LOVE my tidy tray, but here in the US, I can't seem to find the shelf that goes on top! Any suggestions?

[@eliandkate]

Not sure about the US I’m afraid, here they are made by Garland and sold in most gardening suppliers

Try Johnny's select seeds I live in Tennessee and just order one just a few minutes ago

Excellent! What do you put in your bird feeders? There are so many all I could think was ugh, weeds from dropped seed. I only use black sunflower seed and corn so my chickens eat what falls plus less weeds.

[@eliandkate]

Usually just a seed mix, but yeah means lots of weeding around it 😀😀😀

[@rmac8737]

I love my Felcos, they're ergonomic and small and fit my wee hands. Plus they come apart and you can buy replacement bits if u need.. there's many different sizes etc. I've gone through so many secateurs and it's amazing the day you find your faves!!!.........I may need a Hori Hori ....ill ask Santa 🎅 xxx fab vid Eli.

[@eliandkate]

Yeah I feel the same way. I love those ones.

[@normankyle7831]

Good ideas can I ask a question ? With regards to fungus fly's does cinnamon get rid of them or is it a myth.

[@eliandkate]

hmmmm it's not a simple one Norman. Scientific studies have found that cinnamon has all sorts of great properties to help prevent fungus and mould and disease, but... that was in a lab with the perfect varieties of cinnamon and they were very fresh and contained the optimum amount of the properties that were effective. In the real world... it's a bit hit and miss because you can't guarantee the cinnamon will have enough of those properties. So some folk have success others don't.
