Garden days like these are pure soul food

[@susanpassfield4135]

I am very impressed that as a young person you seek peace, beauty and simple creature comforts. I smile when you arrive prepared with food items that are beautiful and you serve yourself on china and drink from a stemmed glass - it’s so very civilized. Treating yourself well is definitely a learned behavior for most of us. Stay positive and continue to see beauty in the simple things!

[@TheThriftyGma]

.. Susan, I was thinking the same thing. I'd be such a proud mother of having a daughter like Elise, who not only has such a strong work ethic, and is such a hard worker but finds great joy in the simplest of things.

[@poodlegirl55]

She really sees and appreciates beauty. And the fact that she designs clothes she sells is so amazing. her creativity has no bounds.

[@gailsprangers9388]

I agree. Taking the time to prepare and enjoy a nice meal on a pretty plate with a lovely glass of drink makes you take a little time to enjoy the beauty instead of eating anything on the go. It rejuvenates you I think! I would be an immensely proud mom of a daughter who works so hard, is so creative and follows her plans through. Just amazing and inspiring❤

[@EliseBuch]

Thank you for such a wonderfully warm and loving comment ^_^

[@wncbeegirl8268]

I would consider putting in an outdoor shower area, look up "camping shower" and you can make your own (no running water necessary)

[@karenhurd9792]

That is a great idea!!

[@donyahanna8502]

I was going to suggest this

[@amandahanna-doull762]

That’s a brilliant idea!… where the tools are could be a good area if private enough… check out Tyler & Todd’s outdoor shower for inspo- I’m sure there’s many others. Your garden is so beautiful peaceful and relaxing. That final laying in the grass after all your hard work… magic 🦋

[@annaibarra3447]

Great idea!

[@containyourlife]

Don’t stop there, why not an outdoor kitchen, potting station. Hot water on demand, solar energy and propane, you can do so much with….

[@cynthiamurphy3669]

I learned years ago when planting flowers, especially when I lived out in the country, that it's so smart to buy the perennials that come back year after year. That and to grow flowers from seed and overwinter them. I love plants also, but I also love saving money. These days, I never buy annual flowers or plants. I remember admiring a garden set way back from the road that we used to drive buy out in the country. The colors of the plants these people had there were gorgeous. They had a garage sale once, and that's when I discovered that every plant this woman had was actually artificial! She certainly saved some money there, lol. Cracked me up.

[@waynemartinmartin4128]

That's funny.

[@azzzonline]

Anyone else notice Elise doing yard work, in her very cute sandals.

[@amyarnn1558]

Your hard work is paying off and you made me laugh when you were dancing around in joy with the empty sand bag. Everything is looking beautiful!

[@daretowearme]

Something that brings you joy isn't basic. You are in the moment and it's those little things in life so many miss. If it brings you joy, it's a wonderful thing. We need all the joy we can get in these times. Enjoy, I know you do🤗

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

Everthing is looking lovely. Your hard work has really paid off. The best thing is the joy you bring to others by sharing the beautiful space you have made for yourself.

[@smallfootprint2961]

My husband always sanded and painted the handles of the tools to keep them from weathering. Splinters, you know. Lilac sounds wonderful. Love that you're enjoying your garden so much.

[@kimpeasester]

I can't wait for the time you'll be able to kick back for a weekend at your cottage, cooking your favorite foods, enjoying all the beauty outside and celebrating this time of peace you'll encounter. And giving yourself a HUGE pat on the back for all your HARD work! We all enjoy watching you at your cottage even when you're doing nothing. It brings us calm too!

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

[@Patricia-168]

You have really transformed your little cottage 🏡 into a cozy, lovely place to spend time away from the hustle and bustle. It's getting better with every project you do!! 🌻🌱🌻. I like the idea of getting a bird bath for your front yard with a little solar fountain.⛲

[@kristenlau3211]

After moving the bag of sand and showing the view of the walkway without it, and being so happy and proud of it being gone, it almost looked like a "thumbs up" in the clouds in approval of your hard work😄👍🌤☁️

[@consideredwhisper]

It would be lovely to install an outside shower on the side of the house you just painted where its private. Lots of ways of doing it, such as with a watering can. Can you save the rainwater from the gutters in a waterbutt? Thanks for the video, Elise. The garden is really coming on nicely

[@sozzish]

You can even buy an outdoor shower and connect it to the hose. Leave the hose in the sun and you even get warm water.

[@Erica937.]

I’m in love with you running with objects 😂😂 the lawn mower was my personal favorite

[@sallycormier1383]

Everything looks so lovely and I like the idea of painting the handles of your tools. I’d put up some racks to hook them up on that side of the house too. I liked someone’s suggestion of an outdoor shower for a quick rinse off after all your gardening efforts. Your new plants look lovely and you even inspired me to fix a similar sandwich for lunch. Much love and appreciation for sharing your cottage and garden with me!❤️🥰🌸🌻🌺🌼

[@smallfootprint2961]

Be careful about putting hooks into the siding. Water penetration is a problem unless you water proof is all.

[@jackieruffoni5750]

Elise my favourite part of your video was after the sand bag was empty. You skipped around your garden with excitement and joy. Even though you were so tired after your long day. I envy you with all your energy.

Painting the outdoor tools all the handles green, add hooks to hang up on side of house and paint sunflowers above the handles of tools to look like the stems of sunflowers or or any kind of flowers. Roses, etc.. Doing a beautiful job at your little home.

[@dianevp8644]

Agree. Also, consider attaching the tools to the white basket weave fence rather than the house. Since the house is wood, less holes the better. Enjoy watching from Ohio. ❤️

We had an outside shower with a huge black metal barrel at my friend's weekend house. It was literally a piece of concrete to stand on and a huge barrel mounted on some metal poles, with a shower head attached to it and a curtain around the whole construction to cover ourselves. We filled the barrel every two or three days from the garden hose and the sun warmed it. :) Just an idea.

Elise you can build a outdoor shower 🚿. Where I live most people have outdoor showers very common especially near the beach cottages. You won’t need drainage.

[@daisydukes8252]

Last season I also bought some of those flowers that look like little sunflower bushes. Here in the American southeast the little yellow birds love these plants for the seeds. I had a great time watching the little bright yellow birds -which we seldom see- flicking seeds all over my deck! When the plant blooms out for the season the seeds dry and what the birds left I collected. I will try and grow some myself next spring.

Everything is looking amazing. The toasted sandwich made me hungry. Well done on painting the wall. I chuckled so much when you did the happy dance jig after you finished the sand job. Then you flopped down and vanished into the plastic. 😁 That was an awful job. You deserved the ice cream. 🍦🍧Good idea, yes, paint the tools handles lilac. It will look lovely against the yellow wall. You can buy a tin of Shabby Chic spray paint. You could put up a tool holding rack instead of them lying on the ground. I need to do the same at home. Make the back area an arty tools vibe. Wall art.🎨🌞 Enjoy your sunny summer days and flowers. 💐☀️

Love your idea to paint the tools! Also sweet to leave the clover for the bees

[@lindabernhagen907]

I love the idea of painting the handles of your tools lavender to match your door! My local landscaper said when sowing grass seed, put some down, rake it in, put more over the top then add water with plant fertilizer like Miracle Gro. This will give it a faster start. If you have hay or straw to put over the top that will keep it from drying out and allow extra warmth for it to germinate.

[@mariannamacomber2114]

I ❤️ your cottage the yellow is so much happier than the blue. I LOVE your idea of painting your tools lilac! You could also find a neat way to hang them up. I've also seen pallets used to store the tools that looks amazing. The trunk would look lovely lilac also! I agree dress it up w painted flowers on the outside to make it look you. Oh and an outside shower so ready to do. You have a hose. My hubs and I are adding on to my mom's homestead, dry cabin and we have a small camping hot water on demand system that either hooks up to the hose or rain catchment buckets. it's a GAME CHANGER!!!

Hi Elise, I am impressed. You worked so, so hard for two days. The outcome is simply stunning. I hope you can enjoy your cottage and garden for the rest of the summer. Here's an idea. Paint the wooden tool.handkes different, vibrant, happy colors, like your flowers. But that box, you can paint lilac. Ha, ha And, you can have an outdoor shower. You just need to have a circular curtain and you can use the garden hose. Well, maybe not. But still an outdoor shower would be great.

[@gailsprangers9388]

I'm not familiar with your area, but the sand your using is what we call "fill" here where I live. We don't grow anything in it really. First we put it down to build up an area, then we put at least 4 inches of soil on top of it for grass and such. We rake out the bigger stones if we plan on using the lawn for activities and so they don't rise to the top and we step on them or damage the blades of the lawn mower. We don't mix the soil into it like you did and we use A LOT more soil. But you have a green thumb from everything I have seen and could probably grow a flower on a rock😁. I'd just hate to see you do all that work to find the grass won't grow. We have a huge lawn and it's really beautiful and nice to walk over and children can run barefoot and it feels soft on their feet so I wanted to share how we do it.
