Wow their friends place has amazing view of the city

[@2hearts1seoul]

They do!! 😍

[@Haha-gs3tm]

친구분 집 너무 좋으네유 냥이들도 사랑스럽구요

[@추억보정-c7c]

I am just mesmerized by that stunning view of your friend's house.

[@2hearts1seoul]

So are we! 😍

[@scottieglot]

Live vlogs like this, I put it on and listen while I work in the office. It's a quiet day and I'm alone. Makes me feel like I'm not working alone 😊 keep up the great vlogs ♥️

[@readysetsleep]

6:29 and 8:20 those are high bush blueberries. The ones you mentioned back in Canada are Low bush blueberries, which are common in the wild down the East Coast. We have low bush down in New York too. From my experience growing the two low bush are sweeter, but lower yield in fruit and good eaten fresh. When compared to high bush which as a ton of fruit but not really sweet, it's good for baking. Low bush survives the cold, and high bush dies from the cold. Low bush is good for your balcony space because it can take up less space, and you can leave it in the same pot for year. High bush will take up almost a meter in space when it's fully mature.

[@2hearts1seoul]

Ohhhh, thanks so much for the info! I just knew they were different from what I was always accustomed to seeing back in Nova Scotia! Maybe we wouldn’t have room for one of those after all 💦

[@readysetsleep]

@@2hearts1seoul You can technically prune a high bush back in height , once a year. But from what I read high bush is the common one they grow in Korea. The other problem is it needs 3/4 a day of full sunlight. No wonder I see them growing abundantly well on the mountain top trails in New York.

[@JoYoonBubuInternationalCouple]

The partying in your 30s thing cracked me up 😂 Totally my style of partying

[@2hearts1seoul]

Glad we aren’t the only ones 😂

[@ddk80]

Sweet basil, tomato, butter, fresh mozzarella on a fresh baguette is an amazing yet easy sandwich to make.

[@2hearts1seoul]

That sounds amazing!!

[@elisekuby3576]

Caprese Salad is delicious with basil! I think you might like it; easy to make.

[@butterflymuse2707]

I appreciate the partying in your 30s comment, as I'm a *sings in Jenna Marbles* 32 year old ladyyyyyyyy. My life is also basically consumed by my plants (I grow orchids as a hobby and have two 8x8 raised garden beds, blueberry beds, currants, blackberries, apple trees, a tea garden, etc on our property)... COME TO THE DARK SIDE, BECOME A CRAZY PLANT LADY LIKE ME! Make some pesto with your basil, Sarah! The view from your friends' building was awesome! And happy belated Canada day, from a 'Murican who just celebrated the 4th of July! ♥️

[@ecry001]

I’ve been growing basil myself and just to give you a heads up you can freeze the leaves if it over grows too much. Also if it starts to flower you can cut that off and use it for a tea the taste is AMAZING and really good for you!

[@RSkies]

Rosemary, Swedish Ivy, most succulents and Spider plants are all cat safe! I have a notorious black thumb, but quarantine life has got me buying plants, lol. Sabbath still eats the spider plant (and threw up afterward), but she was okay!

[@barney1287]

the Christmas cactus and prayer plant are both safe for cats and both are quite pretty and easy to maintain.

[@ooupskitty7006]

That Korean rooftop feeling, especially at night (that I only know from K-drama 😭), just watching makes me feel good & cosy 😍

[@user-oz7gc9bi7w]

Plant both basil bushes in a large soil filled bucket. It will grow much bigger. The small pots dry out and restrict the root growth. The best thing I’ve found to do is have 4 or 5 plants in an XL bucket. Then you’re not harvesting off the one plant and you’ll have the bush for months, if not the year.

[@kevinyeohck]

That banana bread looks incredibleeeeeeee. Salivating at 9:52pm here. Lol.

[@Paolacalmeida]

Sameee, it looked SO good!

[@shmickyshmoe]

What a beautiful garden center!!!!! Arrrgh, I thought you would take home that gorgeous blueberry bush😂. I believe it’s not toxic to cats or dogs. Hope you go back and get it!! I love your friends cats!!!!!!😍.

[@2hearts1seoul]

We’re probably going to go back and get it! 😂

[@shmickyshmoe]

2hearts1seoul Hooooraaaayy!!😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mada-ms5ne]

Awww it was so cute how Yoji tried to run away from Kyuho haha.

[@Vanessa-oq2ey]

Your whole channel always brings a smile to my face. Its just such wholesome and feel good content

[@goldenrayofcentralsun1111]

Buy the blueberry plantttttt!!!....you can sit the basil in a saucer with some water. U guys r so beautiful as a considerate couple.

[@2hearts1seoul]

Hahaha, I love how everyone is so in love with that blueberry plant 😂 We are still considering it 😬💦

[@kineko7823]

Plants I’d recommend: 1. kentia palm 2. basket marina 3. green lily 4. cat grass 5. catnip 6. room bamboo 7. daisies 8. hibiscus 9. marigold 10. geraniums 11. lemon 12. lavender

[@darthbee18]

Bongji nuzzling Sarah is so cute 😻😻, and the cat snack heist afterwards 😂😂 - what a cat 😺😏😎

[@wonshinn]

Awwww those kitties are so adorable. And yoji being so shy 😭❤❤❤

[@이동재-f5z]

옥상 분위기 너무 좋네요. 보쌈 만들고 드시는 것도 영상으로 남기셨으면 재미있었을 것 같은데 아쉬워요 ㅋㅋ

[@2hearts1seoul]

다음에 보쌈도 영상으로 만들어볼게요 😃

[@tiffanysu81]

Sarah, can you please do a video about where you buy your clothes? I LOVE your style!!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Omg, thank you so much 😳 I’ll definitely think about doing something related to this~

[@astroboy3507]

Nice spot to have bbq with the city as a backdrop!! 👍

[@rin4641]

basil needs a LOT of water! i started with a plant like yours and kept propagating it and now it’s like like 2 separate 10 inch pots! i’d recommend for you to keep the plants in a tray of water so they always stay hydrated!

[@orsonsadler]

seeing the plant stands on your verandah + covid boredom inspired me to try to grow an indoor herb garden. i don't have a green thumb so a few weeks ago i decided to just get a few basil plants to see if i'd kill them. i managed to keep them alive so i recently bought a plant stand, some proper planters and a watering pot. now i just need to get some potting mix and more plants. i'm trying to pace myself because i can see how easy it is to get addicted to plant shopping.

[@2hearts1seoul]

Oohhh~! Sounds like you’re on a roll! 😊 we’ve been trying to expand our plant collection without getting too cocky 😅😂

[@orsonsadler]

1:56 kyuho, did you add in sound effects for yoji scurrying away? 😂

[@2hearts1seoul]

I (Sarah) did 😅😂

[@arosete3512]

2hearts1seoul so fun!

[@connies_slice_of_life]

i cracked up when the caption said 'this is what partying looks like in your 30s' my kind of party!

[@miroincanada8307]

Hi Sarah and Gyuho! Happy Belated Canada day!🇨🇦I've been living here in Canada for 4years and we had the quietest Canada day this year due to covid..🥺but I love how you enjoyed the day with your friends in Seoul! that's what I would do here whenever Korea's national holidays come hehe thank you for your video all the time! I've been enjoying your videos so much since I came to Canada and studying english still with your videos too! oh btw I used "ma'am" to an 아줌마 here thinking that it's a polite way to address and she got so offended 😭lol

[@mommygarcia9137]

Wow ! Your friend's apt. Is absolutely beautiful & the view is gorgeous !

[@tamlee6904]

Looks like you all had a lovely time. So awesome to spend time with friends.

[@jennyg8479]

I just started watching Unsolved Mysteries! Love it, grew up watching it in the US.

[@2hearts1seoul]

I was addicted to it back in Canada as well! Super impressed with this Netflix reboot 😁

[@牛年-z7m]

Absolutely need to change a 4 times bigger pot for the basil to grow the roots and more sunshine.otherwise they will not do good and you shall notice that shortly

[@lexicohen2328]

Basil is SO finicky. I've been growing it on my deck all summer long and she's a feisty one. The best of luck to your basil endeavors!

[@madorno81]

Haha awe you went to see Mejoo and Soo!!

[@adriennehilll]

the food looked sooooo good!

[@rigdonje]

I binged all of Unsolved Mysteries this weekend too! So much nostalgia! :)

[@Elizardrae]

Been waiting for your upload all morning!!! So excited!! ❤️ Happy Belated Canada Day!!! 🇨🇦

[@shxna]

Rosemary is super easy to maintain and grow. Literally forgot about mine for a season and it grew up to 3 feet that following spring!

[@christinekim361]

aww, I could see Sarah really wants the blueberry plant. Enjoying your vlog while drinking my morning coffee. ( banana would have been nice with my coffee. hehe )

[@cake2438]

i also bought a basil plant during quarantine! ^^ we replanted it and have had it for about a month so far and it's still doing perfectly fine! (with water almost everyday and plenty of sunlight [although in california]). i would suggest looking up how to properly prune the basil plant if you want to keep it bushy and/or yielding a lot of harvest. so far we've used it for lasagna and pasta sauce!

[@hheesso]

That plant shop looks like a dream 🤩 my fam own 5 blueberries bushes and we get about 2-3 bowls full of blueberries every week for 2 months every summer. It’s so relaxing picking the them and rewarding to eat those delicious blueberries. Hope you can raise one in the future! You won’t regret it 😙

[@janieliu]

Love seeing you guys hang out with mejoo and cats 😻 Flower market! It's ok Sarah, I also have a black thumb...😔

[@veebee5353]

Late watching, but spearmint and catnip are good plants for cat households. They flower, too. They’re so cute. And you can make tea from both or use the mint leaves in your ice water. :)

[@J.H_Bang]

캐나다바베큐는 진짜 한번 먹어보고 싶네요. 볼때마다 맛있어보이네요. 날씨가 점점 더워지고 있네요. 이럴땐 음식 드시는것도 조심히 드시고 건강 유의하세요. 영상 잘봤습니다.

[@2hearts1seoul]

감사합니다 😍☺️

[@mrjinkorea]

Wow, Mejoo and Cats, I didn't know you were friends. That's pretty awesome 😎 👍🐱

[@daisym1739]

Hi guys!! This is a tip I learned from my dad. Use an ice cube and place it on the base of the plant. The plant will absorb the water much better. I kill everything lol but last year I decided to buy a mint leaf plant and I put an ice cube every day... so far it’s alive 😅 - I tend to put two small ice cubes at a time and let it melt.

[@nonidagoo1]

Happy Canada Day to you guys 🎉😎🍉🍻 ! Love how you guys are trying to build your own little garden in your veranda 🎍🌿🌼

[@nukem384]

-You guys are just letting all your friends have it with those North American BBQ style dinners! Looked great again! Might have to make that here sometime soon just cause it looked yummy! -Just asked my wife if she used to watch Unsolved Mysteries as a kid and she said yes and was interested in watching the Netflix version. She said "yes, but only if the mysteries get solved." I was like, uhhh, the show is called "Unsolved Mysteries lol" and she was like "I know, but damn it, I still want them to be solved haha." My wife is crazy sometimes haha

[@mutomboinprogress]

Ooo, love Kyuho's haircut!!! Having a basil plant sounds really good!

[@jimmyyu1988]

Coriander or Rosemary are safe for cats!

[@BillAndersonNS]

It is so fitting that partway through your video was an advertisement for.... Nova Scotia. The new ad is the song Somewhere Over the Rainbow with a lot of views of Nova Scotia. :)

[@2hearts1seoul]

Omgg, no way!! Wish we could see it here in Korea 😭❤️

[@kristinssocool]

I wish you had a yard for fruits and veggies. Gardening is relaxing. What about the outdoor area the cats hang out in with the shrubs. Would the owner let you plant fruits like blueberries there?

[@2hearts1seoul]

Me tooo! One can only dream of having a yard in Seoul, haha 😅 There’s actually not enough sunlight in that back garden for a blueberry tree/bush, as they need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day 😭☀️

[@kristinssocool]

@@2hearts1seoul Oh well darn! Even in my rural American city it is hard to find apartments with yards if you don't have lots of money. I have a tiny yard I love so much. It is wonderful you have more space now and can use the veranda as more than storage. Also the basil probably should be repotted soon into bigger pots otherwise it will get root bound which stunts the growth. My cat Bella leaves my plants alone since she can eat grass and I hang the poisonous ones from the ceiling just in case.

[@alicelee8703]

I can't wait to see what you guys are going to cook with that Sweet Basil!

[@georgiapataria6827]

Oh you should get a blueberry plant since you like it that much 🤗 I watched your video twice. First as I was doing some house works, and I was only listening, and that gave me the chance to realize that your music selection to accompany the video is just great! Well done! Also, just finished watching “the stranger” on Netflix, I think you’ll really like it if you are up for the mystery series. Much love to you both ❤️

[@IronFreee]

This basil looks good... with tomatoes and mozzarella...

[@hearttea]

Love your channel. Always looking forward to watching your videos 😍

[@liula540]

Sarah, did you know that you can make a lei from the Spanish moss. The lei is quick and simple! Once you’re down wearing it, just hang it, water again.

[@yuij7920]

바질키우면서 나중에는 꽃이피고 씨앗까지 얻을수있었어요! 그 팁은 바로!!! 분갈이해주시면서 뚫려있는 화분을 고른뒤 화분받침에 물을 넣어주는거예요!! 그러면 최소한 과습으로인하여 바질이 죽진않아요🥰🥰 흙이마르면 그때 물을 받침에 넣어주면되구요^^

[@adecentlook2895]

Wow that view though😭 i havent hang out w my family/friends at the rooftop for a long long time. Especially i live in typical korean apt so they dont let us to go up and have a bbq party. Miss this vibe so much!! And always love ur vlog 🧡🧡

[@justagirlandherlife5309]

Love your videos so much. I look forward to them every week. My cat eats every morning two basil leaves :)))) I guess he loves the flavor

[@sandraherrera7084]

Hello there! So glad that I found your channel ;). Sara ... would you share that Banana bread recipe? IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!! Please :) Blessings!!!!

[@monicauyeno7368]

Your friends made me laugh so much when they photobombed the video. Or is that video bombed? Lol! Next time you guys should do s'mores over the grill! You can get those Hershey miniature candies or the miniature chocolate bars with the graham crackers and marshmallows to make deluxe s'mores! You should buy kyuho's dad the blueberry plant. He likes to grow plants right? That way you can see how it grows and maybe later on get your own.

[@2hearts1seoul]

I wish!! The ingredients would be hard to come by/pretty expensive here, since we’ve never seen graham crackers anywhere in Korea, so we’d likely have to order them for abroad and pay a ton for shipping 😩

[@monicauyeno7368]

@@2hearts1seoul oh! I didn't realize!

[@jenniferhoule6118]

I have watched you guys from the beginning, but I’m really enjoying your videos lately. Love videos showing your friends and families it’s really nice to see the interactions. Hope to continue to see more of this. Also you can make a nice Pesto sauce with your basil. Very easy to make and can use it as a dip or over any pasta etc. have a good week

[@2hearts1seoul]

Thank you~ ☺️ Not all of our friends and family are comfortable with being on camera of course, so we only share clips of those who are ok with it ^^ I’d love to learn how to make pesto sauce! 😍

[@jenniferhoule6118]

Easy recipe... i don’t use exact measurements I just eyeball it..lol. Combine about 1 to 1 1/2 cups basil leaves. 3 cloves of garlic ( or more I love garlic) most people use pine nuts but you can and I do use walnuts. I usually do a good handful. Then about 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Then start with 1/3 extra Virgin olive oil. Blended it together in food processor, blender, etc if you want it less thick add more oil, play around with ingredients. Enjoy!

[@TheTurtledude99]

I had no idea blueberry bushes could be grown like that! Also, just a thought on the blueberry bush though is I would assume they have flowers which need to be pollinated to make blueberries, so you'd have to expose them the bees and such. I don't know if you can open y'all's veranda, but just a thought before you by it. Perhaps that bush is somehow modified so that isn't necessary but for $25, I'd guess that isn't the case; definitely ask the shopkeeper because you never know. Happy Dominion Day! Love the video xx

[@debstrout1844]

Your thumb is turning green, Sarah! You can make bruschetta with tomatoes and basil, it's so delicious!

[@Frenchcountryfriends]

“this is what partying in your thirties look like” hahahahahahah! Love. BTW- do you follow another Korean blogger CARDSU. Her véranda and plant loving would inspire you!

[@rachellyndsey7040]

I know you guys have a smaller oven but i love making homemade pizza. I use naan bread as the crust, make my own tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Your sweet basil can be added to the top of the pizza and in the sauce. You can toast it in your little toaster oven. Simple and easy.
