Kudos to you for sticking out the rainy day as long as you did. You lasted longer than I would have!

[@Omaivo2904]

Wow, that was a lot brambles and ivy to remove! The path still goes on and on and on and on.......

[@marthasherwin46]

Martin you are a hero! Sun, wind rain, doesn't stop you! I love this series of the 17th century garden. Having g a great time watching you work through this incredible greenspace.

[@myraholmes8702]

This is an amazing amount of work for you alone, Martin. Even with Mr. Mowrator as your sidekick, it's more than enough. You are brave to continue to work in all the rain and wet.

[@joannloos17]

This garden is like a treasure hunt, you never know what you’re going to find (or maybe it’s like a box of chocolates). I can’t wait to see the next episode. Do you get to take home some of the pears? 🍐

[@radharcanna]

I actually like working in summer rain, as long as it’s not too heavy. Heavy rain is unpleasant. You’re doing a fine job there.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Your like the ever ready bunny. You never stop. All that energy 👏👏👍🏻

[@HelenSerrano-xo1tl]

I’m enjoying the path reveal as the episodes go on. It’s a beautiful property and you are making it even better as it becomes accessible again.

[@teresacartwright5406]

I so love this series - restoring a garden to its original state is just fascinating. I'd love to know the history of the manor (who lived in it over the centuries) and if there were paintings/drawings of the original gardens. I can hardly wait for each installment! PS - Now you have to buy a partridge (for the pear tree) - LOL.

[@normabeatrizgomezvera624]

El jardín del terror😂😂, muchas felicidades haz hecho una gran labor, y para el colmo solo!!! ❤❤

[@avrilpeters5900]

I'm excited to see how far the path goes. The rain was dripping off of you so you had no choice but to call a halt.

[@irenefitzpatrick6480]

The garden becomes more beautiful each week with your hard work.❤

[@BrendaOsif-zk4fp]

Your hard work is paying off! Can’t wait for the final results.💚

[@oermama]

Wow that pear tree is huge, can it be a hundred years old? Just the thought of people walking in this same garden in the 16th century is mind blowing 😮 who knows what you discover next, a well? Great job on clearing out the path, it goes on and on. A shame about the rose hips, they look very pretty and provide food for the wildlife. Having fun watching your video’s, thanks 🙏

[@rosettagrey2851]

wow that bramble was a terror, you make it look easy, I surely would surrender. Very well done 🎉

[@monpote5261]

Martin the good guy

[@amynicholsonjones2349]

Love the edge clean up. Looking better and better!

[@vivienarnold7950]

I’m loving this garden restoration.

[@hana518]

Fantastic job ❤

[@jenlea9095]

This property is amazing & you're doing it proud Martin 😀👍

[@stecamu]

Gosh, just let me cook dinner and I'll sit and relax enjoying your video! Very bad weather Martin ☔

[@martinthegardenguy]

Hope you enjoy it 👍☺️ I'm just cooking mine 😂

[@AD-hs2bq]

You are doing a beautiful job. That property will be back to its former pride.

[@richardspacetimeuhrensamml4236]

Hey... Super Transformation, echt gute Arbeit, der kleine Rasenmäher hat als Selbstfahrer gewaltige Power 🌳🍀🌿

[@marythompson1212]

I hope there wasn’t a chill in the air as you were getting wet. Good way to catch a cold. The garden is looking fabulous and the pathway to nowhere seems to be for the clothes line. Can’t wait to watch you tackle the rest of it. Stay well Martin.

[@wendyJ777]

That is one mahoosive but potentially beautiful garden. You’re doing a great job.

[@ldiane5462]

Good evening Martin! I think it must be a wonderful place to be working and revealing bit by bit the beauty that the whole garden used to be. I also really like your radio controlled mower! If I may say what I always say to my hubby, “Little boys, little toys; big boys big toys”. 😅. My hubby just got a new drone for taking videos and pictures and I like to see him enjoying himself. Please take care and God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Diane from Missouri 😊❤

[@mollysheridan7134]

That pear tree is enormous! And still bearing fruit! I wonder how old it is.

[@martinthegardenguy]

Yeah, it's a big old boy 😅 I couldn't even guess how old it is. So much fruit still on it! Wow

[@carolgadles7045]

Wonderful job, it’s opening up more and more. So beautiful, looks like you’re walking into a park. Was that a little chicken or rabbit pen there? Amazing work Martin, love the information you give along the way 🙌🙌🙌

[@qwopmob4]

it was both

[@anitaguevara426]

Great job! Love your work!! The path is surprisingly wide, given the age of the estate.

[@nancyf18]

Martin great job, I like your remote control lawnmower

[@barbaramcnair5463]

😅Ok Mr. Firestarter, good thing its raining.. I saw those sparks in real time.😅

[@rodg303]

What an epic job. Congrats to all of you. Your work has brightened my day

[@tapinviewpastoral]

This is just magical ❤

[@MJones-hi9cr]

Thank you.

[@AlisonJones-w7i]

What a fabulous job ❤

[@mercguamar7627]

Buena idea lo de la cortadora a control remoto. El terreno no tiene que soportar el peso de las cortadoras grandes que arrasan con toda la vida propia que tiene un jardín.

[@everythingtypicalm4911]

Very nice 👍

[@junejackson7958]

Great progress

[@marshagaravaglia8149]

Another great video ❤

[@josephinemonahan915]

Thank you Martin, that was brilliant....coming back to life....did I see cobbles or setts peeping out from underneath the concrete on the path?

[@NancyRiehl-n3p]

❤❤

[@jackjaeger2189]

I have a pear tree and it does not look like that one. 😀 Great work Martin, really enjoying this series

[@shimmyhinnah]

Can do 💪🏻💪🏻 attitude!

[@martinthegardenguy]

Haha, my can-do attitude ran out halfway through the day 😅 but I went back for more.

[@R-Texas]

Nice work Martin! The Rose Hips were so large and healthy, pretty! That Pear tree was huge, I wasn’t aware they grew so tall, thought they spread. I’m surprised you haven’t come upon a garden fountain yet. When do you think the concrete path was poured? Wouldn’t the path of been gravel/pebble in 16th/17th century? It’s a magical property you are bringing back. Each week I envision ones of the past on the property; this week I envisioned ones in attire of past slowly strolling along the path you are uncovering, all the while wondering where it took them. Enjoying this series very much. How many acres are there in this property? Sorry if I’m asking too many questions. Watching from across the pond, Texas 🇺🇸

[@kathsmith4924]

17th century you never know what you will uncover those are the places a metal detector would be good , you've done amazing work brambles etc a curse of uk

[@Wickgirl65]

It might be a path with an ending, but right now I see never ending brambles.

[@marionryan582]

👍🤩

[@catlvr1478]

Nothing worse than trying to do yard work in the rain. Ugh... You are making great progress on the property.

[@cohort6099]

have you got any photos of how it once looked? that would be interesting and a bit of history how it became a forest again?

[@ΑναστασίαΑντωνιιάδου]

😮😮😮😮

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

You are a Machine! I'm awaiting rumors of Roman occupation. New waterproofs on your shopping list? Along with the long handled two paddle pick up tool?

[@juliecumming9243]

That garden looks so interesting Martin. I bet you are really enjoying working in it. Great work as ever. ❤Do you have an email address you can be contacted on?

[@SarHje]

Are there any old maps/plans/pictures of the place? If it’s 16 C there should be at least traces of a knot garden for vegetables around the main house.

[@ediefolta9494]

I wonder if the local library or planning commission would have something?

[@AnjiRoberts]

Starting to feel overwhelmed with this garden, what is your brief?

[@AnthropoidOne]

I hate working in those conditions. I’ll bet that plastic jacket is making you sweat like a pig🤣🇺🇸

[@martinthegardenguy]

Haha, big time. It's sounds like you can feel my pain 😅 I never know what to do in the rain as I'll always get soaked with sweat either way. That I can deal with. But it makes cutting, raking, and everything else so much harder.

[@НадеждаКладова-к9и]
