[@michmowat9982]

Have you thought about trimming the lower branches of the evergreen, so that you have some of the trunk showing, and then building the garden box around it? You'd still get your symmetry but could keep the tree. Plus it would have a bit more shape. Compromise?

Greetings from one of England’s oldest colonies Newfoundland.Of course we are no longer a colony we did become a Dominion before we agreed to join Canada and we are now their 10th province.I have been watching your channel through the pandemic. I just love it; it’s so bright and cheerful and it always makes me feel good. I am older than your mother, I’ll be 83 in August and I was also a psychiatric nurse. I love gardening though I am not as able to do it as your mothers. I have lived most of my life in an old Victorian house and loved it. I love to watch you decorating. You make it look so so easy. There are a lot of I’s in this comment but I must say watching you living your life in that château completely fills me with joy. By the way,you were so lucky to get that Gardener. I have not caught his name.There is nothing it seems that he can’t do. He just fits into the château. Yours is the only channel where I watch the same video over many times. Keep it up ...it’s wonderful. Selman....now I know his name!

[@Jayrose59]

The gardener is Dan. They actually contacted her when they saw the need on the vlogs. He is getting so much done.

[@denisewoods5438]

Truth!

[@diananazaroff5266]

If you wait until fall, you can hire someone with a backhoe to dig out the tree and move it to another place on the property. Dig a large hole where you would wish it to go, fertilize/compost in the hole (use Espoma BioTone), then have the equipment dig out the tree and move it. Those types of shrubs do not have deep roots, they have shallow roots that spread out. You should be able to move it, once the weather cools down, and not lose it.

[@pollywog7318]

It's not terribly hot yet, they could probably transplant it now, don't you think? It's not summer still....

[@diananazaroff5266]

@@pollywog7318 No, they really shouldn't. The issue isn't how hot it is now, it's that it'll soon be hotter. The tree, as big as it is, will need time to settle in and get over it's shock. If it gets hot too quickly, it'll kill it. If you move it in the fall, the temps are lower, the water evaporation is less and the tree has time to settle in and get over it's shock before it takes it's winter snooze. Most growers will say to only move trees in the fall.

Bonsoir! What an adventurous day. I think you may need a freezer to stock all the extra vegetables from Le Jardin d'Isabelle! You will have lots of bounty to can/preserve and herbs to dry also. Then you can serve your own produce each year--Sustainable LaLande! The amazing Selmar's discovered coinage is quite something. And the beautiful wallpapers! Bless the sweet peahen. I hope the eggs are fertile. How wonderful of Selmar to build her a shelter 💗. My favorite segment, though, is you and Michael uploading in the fields jumping out of the way of a van of passing sheep. Perhaps Aloysius has sent a guarde of sheep to search for you!

Then when the jobs are over, I grab my cup of coffee or tea, head for the couch and watch the videos for real. It is satisfying knowing that I "watched the adverts" multiple times through. I live in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains with the loveliest of waterfalls and blue vistas but the beauty of France is amazing as well. These channels provide Beauty and the best of humanity.

The coin on the other side says “A”. Most common type. Tells you where it was manufactured. Yes. Just heard you. Very worn. But you should make a room of all the treasures from the house, including the wallpapers in each room. Maybe a before and after photo. Create a table or a divided table. Mark a map showing where each room is in the house. Maybe a history of the “room”. If you made it into a book, you could put dried flowers around everything! 😉❤️

I must say thank you to both of you (Steph and Michael) and everyone at La Lande, both of your channels bring me such joy and always fill my heart with light and happiness. You inspire me to dream bigger and give me much hope for the future.

[@kersinkoerner8100]

You are both marvellous artists in filming and content of your vlogs! Better than every TV-show or film. Love everything you do! Love your manner and style!

[@kersinkoerner8100]

Isabelle, I love your ethik mentions due to the tree. Even Diesel and the roses love the shadow on it's side. Sometimes the sparkle of something not perfect let the beauty (of the garden) grow even bigger and breakes the boredom!

[@kyrasenchantedparlor]

I just discovered your channel a week ago, and it is wonderful! Its fun and relaxing to listen to and a needed break from the stress and chaos of the world right now especially here in the US. This channel has really helped me re find some peace, and it sparks creativity and fun! Thank you!

The box has a beautiful form - you can build the bed around it and make it part of the bed. Cut flowers would look good juxtaposed against it!

[@cornishcoves9399]

Wow Selmar completed that project already! great work! Wow I finally made it to your live premier after setting my alarm a few times....how exciting. congrats on your progress with the Chambre des oiseaux & 1862!!! xoxo from Canada. I look forward to this update very much. xooxo🐓🌷🌂

[@arlettedumais5776]

Turning that big bush into a topiary creation is an awesome idea! Topiary is a lost art form but there are still Portuguese landscape artisans who can work their magic on Isabel's beloved bush. Oh, PLEASE do it! It would be a beautiful surprise for mummy and I would love to see it in a future episode. If you decide to do it I will donate $100 towards the project. FYI: Though I have a thoroughly French name, I was born in Portugal but live in the USA.

'Just like the Grand National!' I love your humour!

[@aleta5873]

Love the 'brooding' Peahen and the shelter Selmar created for her...Experts say protect her and the nest from other flock etc. Place in large dog kennel or ? for her protection.

Aleta , if you’ve fallen in love with the vlog, like myself, check out my drawings of life at lalande on my insta. @drawinglalande

Is Selma staying we hope. He needs to just move in permanent because he is part of this castle forever also.

[@dianewatier50]

I asked him in in one of the live chats before the premiere on of the latest vlogs and he confirmed to me that he is staying on for a very long time. Is that not just wonderful news !!!!

[@Autumn-zt1yx]

Heidi M in one of the live chats Stephanie said he is staying on for the foreseeable future! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼

We all need an Isabelle in our lives.

[@lydiacarney5911]

I ship you two, sooo much. If you are just friends I love this ship even more! X

[@musingwithreba9667]

Oh how wonderful that Sif is nesting! I hope all the eggs hatch and you have 4 lovely new peafowl 🥰

[@Autumnfalls1972]

Love your mum she's so funny but cute in her wellies 😀🌳🌳🌻🌸🌼🌷🌹

[@OOMerci]

1000 Patrons! I am proud to say that I am one of them! My only wish is that I could give more! Thank you for what you do! You have added such life and interest to my life! I hope to come to see you next year with my daughter. God bless all of you! Italia,RN

[@cathymoore2377]

Selmar you are such a kind soul.

[@carolehanrahan]

I love that Selmar gave the peahen a little shelter. He is such a good man and so multi-talented! He is a real treasure to have around.

[@carnation6827]

Huzzah Stephanie you have your treasure! Good job Selmar! Also good thing Stephanie and Michael are gonna to have a channel together because who can resist these two gems!❤️

[@williamboles1580]

Carnation, I love them too! If you’ve fallen in love with the vlog, like myself, you may enjoy my drawings on my insta @drawinglalande :)

[@flibbertygibbette]

Your friendship with Michael is #goals

[@jgrady9553]

Great vlog- the garden taking shape, Michael Petherick, Selmar finding treasure, Mummy in the garden, martinis and scotch in bed- and a sheltered peahen

[@bloomingnut23]

I love how excited you get over fabrics and wallpaper! I have the same feeling at the misery picking out beautiful flowers.

[@annettemirva5086]

Re watching all of these, SO MUCH FUN

[@susanwoodward7485]

Isabelle is an inspiration to all women, especially those of us of a certain age. Percy must be desolee in his separation from her. Everyone doing their part on behalf of the chateau - a lesson for the whole world!

[@JudithBisson]

Selmar was looking a bit red from the sun. Please protect your skin, 🇨🇦❤️🥂 Omg💕 loving the lounge wear

[@dennise9517]

Stephanie you have been very lucky in life with all the people around you and all the people you have met. Selmar is so sweet making a shelter for the 🦚. 🌼
