I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m craving the spring gardening vlogs. During lockdown and the x3 weekly vlogs of you and Charlie just gardening for nearly a hour, the birds chirping Awh just such a nice vlog memory, I sincerely can’t wait for ❤

[@JosieIrons]

I can’t wait either ❤

[@clairehawkes1112]

I’ve been out in the garden for the first time properly today this year. It has been lovely. I miss it so much during the cold months. ❤

[@LaurieCochraneBroker]

My most favourite video was when Josie and Charlie painted the duck house in the centre of their pond. Exactly the vibe you are remembering. Simply loving life.

[@graciellastokes7979]

Youve motivated me to make a plan for my postage sized plots of front and back gardens! Ive been learning from Charles Dowding and have a few no dig beds ( buried under the snow !) and some containers to follow the sun. Im even going to use my front patch for a veggie patch ! Aiming to be an early riser Feeding and watering the bitds and dquitrels gets me out in the brisk a.m - I think sharing your productivity tips would be fantastic , J! You seem so great at it!😊

[@jazmeen04]

I enjoyed that too, and am currently growing vegetables though our weather is different. May be I will plant some with Josie and see how mine progresses compared to hers.

[@susieqmartin2746]

Josie, just a suggestion if you crack an egg open, save your egg shell crush it down as far as you can, and add it to your tomato bed it adds calcium to the soil and helps you to grow beautiful tomatoes!

[@newfoundland3030]

This also stops some of the bugs from getting to your plants!

[@susieqmartin2746]

@@newfoundland3030 thank you it has helped my tomatoes a lot as well as the Braska family of vegetables!

[@kathrinabels]

Ideally, use the shells of boiled eggs only, to avoid contamination with bacteria, viruses etc. 🤗

[@JT-qd2sk]

Well done to Charlie for using his platform to promote all things British 🇬🇧 we need it more than ever at the moment and we produce such wonderful things

[@kyliestark7356]

I so love your chit chats. Josie often learns as much about Charlie as we do. That defender chat on the way shopping was GOLD . So easy so relaxed . It reflected the friendship you have, the shared values, dreams and experiences. Thankyou for sharing it . Xxx

[@kyliestark7356]

@Official_Josie you are a scammer I am reporting you

[@mariolavalero3489]

Josie, please never feel the need to apologise for not wearing makeup! You look gorgeous and it’s really nice to see you “al natural”. I think we can all agree that you’ve created a safe space between all of us that watch you videos and we feel like we are a group of friends. Friends dont need to wear makeup around each other al the time!😊😊

[@Memkoh]

Josie’s vlog, just what I needed after a long day. That car moment was everything!!!!! I loved your smile, your joy, your ease and admiration for Charlie’s jacket. I laughed so hard when he saw your HC gilet! Wait till he comes for it😂 I even thought when you were about to try it on, you’d say “I got this for me and this for Charlie” because we know how much he loves those as well. Holland Cooper, hurry up with that menswear line. I love how you chatted about groceries from farmers. I stopped at a farmer’s market in December. This is my reminder to go back. I always learn so much from your vlogs.💗

[@cherylmccorkle9715]

Love how you made your own heart wreath instead of paying the big price for the one you saw. I think it turned out great!!

[@BeckyAlice]

There's a japanese word: 口寂しい ('kuchiisabishii'); which basically translates to "lonely mouth" - refers to the feeling of wanting to eat without actually feeling hungry, simply because your mouth is lonely. 😂 Pretty apt that you explained that feeling just before eating a Japanese snack! P.S. Love your vlogs! 💕

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

There is something so cozy whenever Josie starts a video with La Marzocco 🥰. Btw, I've really enjoyed looking at Ted Baker's pieces last vlog! It felt like such a treat!

[@redmeow3914]

Whether it’s floristry or baking I love your “I saw this cool thing, let’s improvise and have fun” attitude

[@marciapestana3260]

Love to see you both chatting. Such a lovely couple. ❤️😘

[@louloubell7288]

Love Charlie’s ted talks. I think your heart turned out fab. What a difference to watch someone who truly loves gardening, rather than one who only does it for content 😉💐💕

[@fionaseager3940]

Oh Josie I’m really impressed with your wraith making skills. Your wraith is epic 🤩

[@mellythorne5417]

Me (and how many others)?! "Alexa cancel my timer for 35 mins" 🤣🤣🤣 xx

[@claireiveson3350]

Great to hear you supporting and talking eloquently about farmers and their quality produce. Thank you. 🇬🇧

[@debbytownsend2907]

When I clean out my log burner I out the ash onto the garden too. Your wreath was beautiful Josie

[@juliarawahkerz]

Love your Vlog, it’s so inspiring to see you passion for gardening. I’m a winemaker from Germany and we learnt in university that if you do mulching you only should do it when the plants are starting to grow and you know that they will grow for a while. If you do it too early or too late the good nutritions which the plant can’t use are going to be washed out in the ground water and a lot of the goodness would be wasted🙈. (I don’t know if it would be different in the UK but I thought maybe this information would help someone😊)

[@dajordan7507]

So excited to hear you mention your wedding 💒 ❤

[@teresasibley1715]

My dad made a willow heart for my wedding, entwined with ivy n copper fairy lights,it now hangs in my spare room x

[@LaurieCochraneBroker]

Josie, you should try a continuous mist sprayer. It's available on Amazon. It is a prized possession of mine for use on my hair and plants, as well as for quickly taking out wrinkles from certain fabrics.

[@carolclarke5839]

I absolutely love how Charlie cooks for you Xxxx🥰🥰

[@louiselill1528]

I remember a time before supermarkets and my mum would buy from our local butchers and local grocery then supermarkets took over so we stopped growing our own veg I don't blame you for the way you shop it's a better and healthier way of living

[@pumpkinshare992]

Hahaha, " I ain't got time for that." Girl, hysterical.

[@dionnevoller2903]

I see you were making Jac a coffee in her own mug - so cute - I’ve been going to a local coffee shop for years and they let me have some of their grounds (for free) and hubby uses them for mulching - not too many though

[@alexaspiderweb]

I think I could just watch you and Charlie chatting for an hour 🤣 Charlie, I think you are great 😆 The wreath looks so lovely! I had thought, "Oh no, the straw isn't a good layer" but actually it looks cute now! Xx

[@authorveronique]

I hear you, Josie. Applying my vitamin C serum is like a five minutes at the Spa, but at home, for me each morning and night ;) Mid-February is when my body "demand" spring to arrive sooner rather than later ;) You are now an expert at making wreaths!

[@caronmistry6171]

You did an amazing job with the heart wreath, I love it xx so excited for lots of gardening vlogs xx

[@aimee_rosee]

Would love if you did a gardening vlog series (I'm sure your audience would too!) With tips and tricks throughout the seasons.

[@TheCarlrivera]

The green heart 💚 wreath could look incredible as a backdrop to your wedding cake display. Especially for the cutting photography. Also as decor for the beverage station or at the entry behind the escort cards …. 🌿

[@alisonkovacs9871]

Good morning beautiful darling josie I hope you charlie Dickens and dexter are well it's so lovely to see you again thanks so much for your wonderful vlog have a wonderful time at daylesford stay safe xxx

[@graciellastokes7979]

Cooncidentally watched a morning programme that showed how to set up a microgreen grow station- grow light and done on a large flat ,as once you grow and harvest dont grow back - no need to cover seeds w soil - used a cover for small condensation and no overmisting so no mold… a few tips to share with you😊

[@jennifercasavant-yealy900]

I just put my coffee grounds on my flower bed this morning. I have been doing it faithfully since January! Precisely 😊

[@wendynicholls6231]

That reef is quite good Josie! Especially as it’s your first go , xx

[@henriknight90]

Your videos always fill me with so many positive thoughts and energy, and loved your joint car chit chat - it’s wonderful to hear you both talk so passionately about supporting British produce (I live in Clapham and come from the Cotswolds and wherever I am, my husband and I want to support local, be that the city markets or countryside farm shops).

[@travelsrus]

Good morning beautiful always looking forward to see your blogs.so excited i'll be in the Cotswold next month for 7 days and 7 days in London .SUPER HAPPY !! hoping to see lots of gardens :}

[@hildeskjennum5470]

YES! Finely out in the garden and the greenhouse. We still have snow her in Norway, I have to wait a bit longer. Happy gardening year.

[@carolynmarshall1968]

Josie I loved this vlog soo much. My greenhouse gets delivered on 15th Feb, firstly inspired by Lydia, as hers looked amazing as does yours now. So good to get ideas from you both as first time having one myself (moved from a town to the coast/countryside) different way of life, the good life as I like to call it 😊 🪴 loving the Holland Cooper Gilet, my birthday is next month (birthday idea 😉) the heart wreath you made was lovely, well done! Charlie is absolutely right re why should you not buy from farm shops if you can afford it, you both have worked hard to get where you are today, so, good for you I say. Yes I am jealous (not in a horrible way) but I get inspiration from you both, so always helps with my yearly vision board, put it out to the universe x

[@darksidesr7]

Charlie the more I listen to you, and already agree with you, First you don't have to justify on what you buy and where you buy it, and totally agree on supporting english farmers and produces, I am french and try to do the same here in my own country, there are suffering so much from the crisis, and about the products all imported also we have the same problem here, with the supermarkets, all the things coming from Spain, Brasil etc.. I buy organic, living in the countryside, and from farmers, and go to the market, and all of us have to do our best to eat from our country, local and in season, Thanks you 2 for nice video, sending Love to both of you, my favorite channel on YT ♥

[@according2her]

forever waiting for allplants to come to expand to Germany... I need their food in my life!

[@mariposa1933]

L❤VE the giant foliage heart. It’s not tacky either. 🤪 I think it would so charming for your wedding and just on a bare stone wall throughout the year. Brilliant idea Josie 😍 Thanks for the gardening tips. The coffee grinds saved my indoor palms a few years back when a friend from Vietnam told me to use them or simply use leftover coffee made from the morning and put it into the plants. Lifesaver! I hope it brings you joy as well! 🤗

[@luvurab]

We don’t have “all plants” here in Canada but I do have to say I much prefer their previous branding so much more than what they have now.

[@pixiebelle5392]

Support British brands. Well done, Charlie. 👍

[@danadpt2012]

This is my type of vlog. I got to spend some time planting yesterday and my mind and body really needed the break

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

Lovely video as always . Love that Charlie says it as it is.. my husband is the same and is very passionate x

[@juliecsoppenszky9005]

Happy Sunday!

[@renujayajaya]

Those seaweed squares are kinda filling/satisfying in a way, and a wonderful snack! I like them😋😊

[@fionaseager3940]

Love your HC Gillettes they are classic layering, warmth and protection for daily use as you say. Xxx

[@dianebaker5243]

Loved the heart you made. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

Thank you Josie for this exciting vlog 🙏 ✨ 👍 💖 💐 💞

[@sandrawho436]

thank you , l had no idea about coffee grounds to use in garden . Josie l love all your videos especially when you incorporate other life knowledge you have. Big hug from Queensland Australia

[@fionamargaret6687]

Great tip. I use my coffee grounds as a body exfoliator. Mix with salt, sugar, coconut oil and lemon juice. Also you can use coffee grounds to grow mushrooms :)

[@fionaseager3940]

Excellent content thanks. Such helpful advice with healthy realistic day to day life. Xxxx

[@lynnpetti3817]

Lovely video. Thanks. Never, ever let someone tell you what to say or how to say it, it the beginning of molding how you think.

[@cloud__99]

That wreath looked so cute! Definitely would’ve put that on the door 🤍 Tip for tying bows: watch a video on how to do a bow tie! That technique gives you a perfectly straight bow every time and you’ll also be the saving grace of any clueless guys at a wedding 😂

Your Hart wreath josie was so cute 💕 well done. Oh yes i can a huge wreath for your wedding. With your favorite flowers around it be amazing very very pretty 😍 . Where you go to do what shopping you need looks an amazing place to go ,sure could take few hours browsing around 😜.Don’t know a place like that here in Europe of course we have local markets . 😂 poor woman trying to cut your panama’s cheese for you ,she managed 😅. Love the Jumper from Holland & Cooper so pretty & gilets gorgeous colours .❤ Have a lovely evening & a Good week 🥰

Great to see you planting up ! I have a heater (on timer ) in my greenhouse, just takes the temp up a few degrees for germination 😊

[@jennymurray4698]

Just pure bliss and the heart is fab xx

Worzel Gummidge would be so proud of you, Josie 🥰🥰 Only kidding, your wreath is lovely. Thank you for sharing all your gardening knowledge. I may try some Sweet Peas myself ❤❤x x x

did you notice Dickens making himself comfortable on the couch in the backround during the intro? So adoring ❤❤

[@JosieIrons]

He is my most pure baby ❤

[@lesleyanderson3122]

Love the gardening bits….maybe the heart thingy was made with the very flexible willow ? Worth a try x thanks Josie I love your vlogs x

[@IS-gk4jf]

Well done, you Josie 👏 the wreath is beautiful

[@danishpastry6137]

Top tip! I use my toilet rolls as liners for my root trainers - makes transplantation so much easier. ❤️

[@lesleyrowdon9829]

So exciting. Talk about your wedding. Can’t wait.

[@eluby]

Great choice of a background music, Josie. Creates a totally different mood. ❤️

[@alexandrachartrand4056]

You’re so talented darling! I adore Charlie’s comments…😊

[@Gt11152]

Josie, you will find it easier to make the initial shape from long birch twigs as they are so much easier to bend and manipulate. You can add whatever else you like afterwards. Lovely video. 😊

[@aly5664]

It's so much better value to buy from the local farmers by far ! We had half of a cow butchered about 2 years ago. We still have a ton of Angus beef, and we might have spent about $1400. Given the prices of inflation, we have saved a ton of money. And they let us choose the cuts we wanted.

[@Alicia-bi4rq]

I understand Charlie's questioning his words, I guess it can be hard to hear this kind of talk, not because there's anything wrong with being financially fortunate, but just the reminder that some of us are living in a very different reality at these stressful times, I can assure you I would buy only organic quality food if I could, (I don't choose to go to Aldi or Tesco,there is no choice in the matter) I would do exactly the same as you, and in any case you're free to live your beautiful life the way you want to, and we're free to switch off if something triggers us, don't ever stop being unapologetically you

[@teapot6711]

I agree with Josie on the seaweed! its a great afternoon snack without sugar and lots of nutrients ❤️

[@pattibonanno547]

[@dionnevoller2903]

I just added the salted seaweed thins to my Ocado order that’s coming tomorrow along with a jar of dried salted broad beans to nibble on too - they look fab too. I still have you to blame 😈 or thank 🥰 for getting me into Ocado shopping - I love that I can buy from M&S, Daylesford, Ocados own ranges plus lots of independent producers - like “The Black Farmer” from Devon - fabulous sausages and the best eggs EVER ❤.

I can honestly say those Amazon leggings are the BEST leggings I've ever had!! I've been getting them for the last year and I love them! They are also fluff and hair resistant, which is great for anyone with any fur babies! Xx

[@carlylawson9595]

[@clairethomasinaj9999]

I agree with Charlie. We can’t remember what Tommy’s and what not to say on the KZbin. I agree ☝️ positive energy is a must in this world.

[@varshaajmera3990]

You can use most of the peels from vegetables for your 🪴. Eggs are another good way of providing calcium to plants. There are a lot of things from the kitchen that have nutrients which can be used in the garden. You can also use garden leaves, twigs etc for mulching.I do Also I do work on climate change and one of the things we advise everyone to not consume seaweed because seaweed helps to restore the ocean’s ecosystem.

[@dalefriesen8676]

Boiled wool is a miracle fabric. It ticks all the boxes... softness, warmth, durability, natural, sustainable fibre source and the longer you keep it the more character the garment derives. I'm all in favour of convincing Holland Cooper to extend it's smart lines into men's wear. Tall sizes would be wonderful. Happy planting Josie and Charlie! That mug, featured at the outset, where can one be sourced?

[@JosieIrons]

It’s from NOM living ❤
