My husband and I moved into new build when I was 21 and he was 28, I am now 50 and still in the same house. In this time we have probably redone or garden 4 times. We have had children's climbing frames, football goals and bouncy castles. Now the kids are adults themselves and the 26 year old has flown the nest we have finally got the garden we love, with a beautiful patio area with a pergola with a retractable canopy, beautiful ratan set with a fire insert dining table. I love doing the garden and have so many wall planters and hanging baskets because like yourselves we have a wall, albeit along the back of the garden. We have also done everything ourselves. I love your enthusiasm and I know you will make a lovely job of what you do. Hang some mirrors on that wall behind your seating area, it will make a feature x

[@shirleyhughes7452]

I've come to the conclusion that some people are so unhappy in their own lives that they are always negative and hurtful to others. Instead of pointing out how beautiful you are inside and out. Then sometime jealously is the problem . Keep up the amazing work your both doing with those adorable boys.❤❤❤❤

[@fabandell]

Thank you ❤ you are always so supportive!

[@melpike5106]

Ellen my son is 35 and when hevwasv3 he got admitted with colesaws he was in hospital for two weeks they call it herpes any way get some zovirax cream when you feel the itching apply it straight away it's a cream and you can still buy it over the counter there very contagious as well it don't mean you are unhealthy it could have been when you were out the cups might have not been clean awe someone had it also you kneed to throw away your lipsticks if any have been on your lips sending you all my love and God bless you Melanie xxx

[@patseemore5019]

Ell do not listen to Fab, there are plenty of us out here who love to hear what you have to say! Good job on the garden!

[@standup2982]

You know that little patch near the path which you asked for ideas for, how about a little veggie patch? The boys could get involved too so it’s educational for them to see where their food comes from, and home grown is always so much better 👍 Ell, I’m on chapter 48 of The Housemaid, on Audible. I’m really enjoying it so thank you for the recommendation 👍👍 As for the nasty comments, some people have no morals and those people can get in the bin 🗑️ Lots of love 🥰❤

[@p123970]

People will always leave negative comments to hurt others (no idea why) please don't let it get to you, just block them and keep doing what you do!

[@rosiet7158]

Ellen- every time I watch a vlog, I think wow- not only do you look amazing but you achieve so much in a day, it’s inspiring xxx

[@cassieheasley5149]

watching this while cuddling my 6 day old baby 🥹 thanks for keeping me entertained 🥰

[@fabandell]

Awww how amazing!! Congratulations ❤

[@cassieheasley5149]

​@fabandell thank you 🥰

[@patriciahill6839]

Those people who make nasty comments on people's appearance are nit worth the air you use to reply to their nastiness. You are a good family so keep doing what you're doing. Enjoy watching you x

[@melissawilliams5394]

Wow you both work hard, you can turn your hands to anything. Well done guys I just know the gardens going to end up looking amazing.

[@geraintthomas4136]

DIY fab and ell are BACK🤣 love a new project. Good luck guys 🎉

[@fabandell]

Yessss!! We have so much DIY to do, will be lots of videos 👌🏻

[@julieknowles6331]

Why do people have to put negative comments. Nothing else to do? Jealousy? Well done guys as always a great vlog. Once you decide on a project you really do work hard to achieve xz

[@stevencookson9924]

I agree with the comments some people are bad at slagging people off but some could be coming from a good place my Grandad had a cold sore for 3 weeks and it worked out it was skin cancer so it great that you have had it checked out . Good tip as soon as your lips are itchy put vinegar on and lucky u won’t get another cold sore again.

[@MrsHollyG]

Yay I love a garden Reno 🥳 18 month old down for her nap and cuddling my 2 week old newborn son! Excited to relax and watch 😍

[@fabandell]

How wholesome 😍 hope you enjoyed!!

[@LilyandAshley_]

So excited for this new series guys!! Loved your garden transformation on your old TW new build and can already tell this will also be just as beautiful. Thank you for transparency on price too as it’ll give a realistic idea and my god Ellen, I’m gobsmacked at how much of a grafter you are!! 🫶🏼

[@user-md8ny8dy2c]

Sometimes people don’t think before they write a comment 😢 don’t let people get you down, always stay positive ❤ really enjoyed the garden video you both worked so hard as did Fabs dad it looks even bigger after clearing the bushes and the pergola ❤

[@fabandell]

@@user-md8ny8dy2c thank you so so much xxx

[@michelleward1746]

Do not listen to the bad comments. You look amazing. You are beautiful

[@rachaelkeyes9371]

Great work on the garden guys bet the boys will be like wow and running round, when you throw the grass seeds down sprinkle some grass cuttings over the top it stops the birds eating the seeds. Xx

[@dianemassey9420]

Wow what a great job you've done already. Well worth the initial hard work, the garden looks do much bigger. You two are such a great team, the boys will love playing in the garden. Can't wait for next vlog 😊

[@lynnemac1402]

Bless you Ell cold sores are really painful, hope the medication helps clear them up. Love the start you have made and Im looking forward to the progress you make x

[@sharonlivett3785]

Just a tip for u guys . Grass won't grow by the conifer trees . Love watching ur videos xx

[@kimfisher6158]

Hi guys luv from Australia Little suggestions The little path to your shed Would probably brick pave all of that get rid of all the little stones the beautiful boys will just love getting a bucket n spade and spread all those stones and little slate pieces all over your beautiful grass you will be forever picking them all up b4 you mow your grass you will resent all those little stones lol brick paving is great they will love a large areas to ride their bikes Maybe a sand pit in the shaded area where the lawn won’t grow Just make things as easy as possible little boys get into everything and it will be every where lol Enjoy luv your little family good luck great work xx

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Shame about the negative comments cause you guys are just the best. Wow you two have so much energy and you are both such good workers and just get on with the job in hand. What an amazing outcome for the initial garden clean up. Can’t wait to see it all transformed. The boys are just beautiful and your mum looks radiant. Thanks as always guys. Take care.

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Sorry forgot to say well done to your dad he was an amazing helper. You are so lucky to have such beautiful parents.

[@fabandell]

Thank you for the lovely comment ❤

[@trudiwhalan1654]

If I could make a suggestion regarding that huge bush growing over the fence you chopped back … i would get hold of a ladder and a chainsaw (not a baby one 😂) and saw it back as high and as far back as you can. Be easier to maintain later as it starts to grow back plus it will allow the sun to get in more to keep the grass growing as well as more light. Good job guys 👏 👏 x

[@JackandSanna]

Hey guys, you’re doing fantastic! You’ve inspired us into creating our own channel and hope we can be as good a parents as you guys ❤ keep being you

[@AliMcDowall]

Yaaassss. Love it. 😂 cracking up at blippi on the tele in the mirror. Bane of my life

[@fabandell]

The boys absolutely love him 🤣 Ellen vowed we would never let them watch him but here we are 😅

[@leannehopper2563]

You have done amazing clearing out the garden can’t wait to see what’s it’s like when you have finished it 👏😍👌

[@joannalewis7581]

Great vlog ..love seeing the start of this transformation. You've worked hard! That brickwork is gonna look great after a powerhose. Well done guys x

[@jonimarques6313]

Ignore those vile comments..don’t even give them the time to address it. Love the finger gesture Fab! 😉

[@fabandell]

😅😅

[@juliebrooke6099]

Don’t swap perfectly good brick edging for wood which will be rotten in a few years. Just move the bricks round to where you need them. You’ve got a really good space to work with. I’m sure it’s going to be lovely. That big wall is great for privacy and shelter. If it gets the sun on it it will hold the heat so you could grow a grapevine along it or train a peach tree.

[@debrap947]

That is such hard and filthy work, but so rewarding. I wish we could build brick walls like you have in the UK, I love them. Looking forward to seeing what all your hard work looks like...see you next week. 🤗

[@fabandell]

Very rewarding! ❤️

[@jackieedwards2023]

O my goodness u both worked so so hard on that garden ell u might be small but u r so strong 💪 u just get right in on the job well done it must be so hard trying to get a big job like that done glad u have got some help take it easy love all your videos thanks from Jackie 💐🌸🪴💪

[@taracarey9175]

We’ve recently done our garden , hard work & lovely when you can sit & enjoy especially seeing the boys playing 😊also Elle people commenting as you know about personal things isn’t okay , especially unkind comments , glad you raised it& put them in there place . I wonder if your bloods needs checking , I think I remember you being on iron tablets , I was so low a few years ago & found out my b12 was very low as things in my body kept going wrong , my folate too so I was put on injections plus many tablets , your a busy mum ❤❤❤x

[@morganleticia2316]

Great job wow you two did so much in three days enjoy watching your lil family 😊

[@fabandell]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@tonyagaines3511]

Elle, I'm so sorry that there are people saying nasty negative comments to hurt your feelings, Shame on them! Elle, I've been there with you on the cold sore situation . I've had them multiple times throughout my life ,my sister used to get them too and she told me her doctor told her to take L-Lysine tablets, I started taking L-Lysine too and as soon as I start to feel a cold sore coming inside or out of my mouth, I take the tablets and the cold sores go away within a day or two, I usually take the tablets a couple days after they go away also, they work for me, might be something you could try , you can also buy the L-lysin lip balm to put directly on the sores, I use both and they both work 100% for me . P,S, another great video BTW🙂.. looking forward to seeing the garden fully finished , CAN'T WAIT...

[@fabandell]

@@tonyagaines3511 thank you so much for this! I will definitely try this! Xx

[@jackdempsey1555]

Ellen you are beautiful bee stings and all. I know its not a bee sting but I thought it was funny. Cold sores are the worse I think it has to do with stress and diet but nothing I do stops them. Anyway Beautiful I hope you have a fantastic day. love to the boys and Fab I pat your back for sticking up for your gal.

[@bridiewright1519]

You're parents are just brill ❤

[@lilywitkowski]

Yay your back love this garden renovation you both did a great job of it ❤

[@lyndseybancroft8908]

ignore the negativity you are brilliant i love your videos your little boys are amazing keep up the good work xx

[@alinamonica6726]

Hi, I would make that path to the shed straight, close to the fence, with gravel and maybe sleepers if budget allows and put grass or coloured flowers on the other side,where the ivy roots were...I would ditch that curve path to the shed...just an idea, straight lines look more esthetically pleasing for me 🙃 or if you want to keep it curved, plant some nice flowers where the soils is,next to the fence,for a splash of colour,because everything else is mostly green in the garden. Keep up the good work 😉

[@lindarookes7741]

Looking really good lots of hard work ☺️

[@NFNPuppies]

Great Effort both of you on your garden reno 😀

[@karries5115]

Great video. Looking forward to seeing how it develops That triangualr type patch near the path...maybe make it into a raise bed either for flowers or maybe a few herbs/veggies? As someone else said the boys could get involved ...or even maybe a sandpit!?

[@NFNPuppies]

❤❤❤❤Lots of love to all of you thank you for your lovely videos 😀

[@fabandell]

Thank you for the lovely support!

[@amberbenton2704]

Sleepers ordered 🫡

[@heathlocks44]

I had as many coldsores it got me down and scarred me soooo often, i went to the docs for those tablets too and pop one every time i feel the tingle - NOT HAD ONE AGAIN!!!! So don’t worry they’re great. (I got 5 boxes hahah) xxx

[@mickiminx]

Loved this video! It’s amazing to see how much the garden was transformed & opened up after you removed all of that! An idea for that little triangular patch to the right of the path going to the shed… maybe a sensory section for the boys? Plants that smell, that they can touch, colourful plants too! Or even a small veggie patch, you can get the boys to grow their own veg! ❤️ Looking forward to the next video!!

[@fabandell]

Great idea!! We defo want colourful and nice smelling plants 🙌🏻 but at the moment they just rip petals off 🤣

[@soniauk4284]

Great video xx maybe the area can be used as the boys growing area - vegetables/herbs or flowers xx

[@andrea-tx2nr]

well done both of you gardening is hard work im sure it will look fab when its finished ell you look great I bet some people wish there had your engery me for one lol you both do really well looking after your young family keep yourselves fit and Happy looking forward to next part of your garden x

Hi guys as a Nan to twin girls who love the garden we had bark down for a play area honestly it was a nightmare if they went out without there shoes on they got splinters in there feet and it went everywhere. We have now took it all out 😂and put down artificial grass xx

[@fabandell]

Thank you for the advice! We didn’t even think of the splinter situation and i guess it’s easy to spread it all over the garden. Will re think!

[@emmaramsay1747]

Yay! I love a good DIY project from you two! I think it's funny that you call it a garden; here in the states, we call it a back yard. We often put a garden into the back yard though. I love all things British! I wish I had a modicum of your talents for just about everything! Love your energy and enthusiasm, regardless of whether it works out or not. You two are so much fun! Ell, you are simply beautiful! Isn't it nice that you can just block or delete the haters! Looking forward to part two! Hugs & Love from California!

[@ollieparker4178]

I like fabs idea for the sleepers in front of the shed, but why don’t you straighten the path along the fence line rather than keep the curve? Would make a lot more sense IMO.

[@sandiedrew4086]

Love the video ❤🎉😊.

[@sandiedrew4086]

The supplement Lysine will help you Elle. Health food store or drug store should carry it.

[@SueStubbs-hx4rn]

Would it not be worth doing a straight path where the wooden structure was instead of the miniature pickett fence. Then you would not have to worry about a curve. You could then put grass seed down where the curve was and make more lawn. Just a thought, I am sure whatever you do will be great though, from a fellow coldsore sufferer. I had to take antiviral medication for the first time in 57 years as I have had 3 cold sores so far this year and feel very run down. We need to look after ourselves better El 💕

[@hayleygrimwood5119]

Take no notice of the nasty comments ell she is probable jealous as you are a pretty girl. 😊

[@trudiwhalan1654]

Sorry Elle, have to agree with Fab on the edging, logs would look so much better and you can still curve it. Personally the pickit look edging looks too nanna like.

[@GillianFitch]

In that little corner, you could put low evergreen shrubs like Euronymous and Hebe - once established will fill in and stay green all year 🪴

[@beanie7547]

The cold sores were obvious especially when you already suffer from it as posted on other videos. I actually wondered if it was an allergy from the outdoor work etc… you still look lovely though. Do stain to match the fencing as it’ll blend better as well as looks great with the color or your home.

Remember that free speech is part of our free culture, in some parts of the U.K. anyway and it is something that needs to be preserved. That being said think about it, when someone one makes a hurtful comment you, as a you tube channel creator are making money from it. More views, better for you and you get more publicity from it bringing nice subscribers in. You win at the end of the day. There is a saying that even bad publicity gets your name out there. Don't respond you really do not need to and why explain any medical issues, no need. You are not perfect but who is, the channel is growing so you must be doing something right. Aside from the above my only comment is try to get the conifers reduced in height, I have a massive garden - acres and they are nice small but a pain when left untended. You need to design the garden so you can easily manage it not be a slave to it. Enjoy.
