TOUR OF OUR ITALIAN WINTER GARDEN | The Positano Diaries EP 68

[@lorrilewis2178]

Modern life has reached peak weirdness. Here I was, actually wondering what happened to some potatoes on the other side of the ocean in Italy. 😂

[@NickiPositano]

😂😂

[@mariadigiovanni1168]

Thank you for this winter garden tour. I am always so impressed with the meticulous use of every square inch of space. You and Carlo are adorable together! Your videos always make my day. Thank you!

[@NickiPositano]

So nice of you

[@louisegatti9262]

Never get tired of the scenery in your part of the world. Enjoy your walks, hikes, gardening, cooking, Holly and last but not least, Carlo, always smiling and happy to see you. You are a blessed lady.

[@jenjem5810]

So uplifting and refreshing.Romaine 🥬 Was great. Boston Bibb. Swiss chard, red and green. Scallions and garlic, onions. The cukes, squash and Zucchini flopped. Spotted leaves. Many flowers that withered. Cherry tomatoes are slow. Little daily blessings Your honesty is deeply appreciated.

[@judydenison161]

You’re so lucky to have fresh, homegrown fruits and vegetables year round. Terrific garden and the views!!!❤️❤️ Enjoyed this video very much. Relaxing 😌

[@danatc]

Thank you for taking us on that lovely walk through your garden! 💛

[@marycahill546]

Wonderful -- such healthy eating. I noticed Carlo gave Nicki the good plate. Good husband!

[@nilsarivera261]

Is a special satisfaction to grow your own food, its organic healthy, thank you for show us your orchard.

[@amarasunflower6914]

I love how Carlo is always so happy..

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

What a grand garden! It's so nice to be able to share it all with family and friends. Thank you for the tour.

[@phoebeaddis9224]

I love your garden! I fell in love with vegetables when I visited Italy. Truly the stars of Italian cuisine.

[@lisamarutz9772]

So much hard work, planning, and nurturing, you all are doing such a wonderful job 💚

[@daniellereid01]

I would need to pinch myself everyday if I lived there, just to bring me back to earth. Positano really is beautiful. Thank you, Nicki 💕

[@cheryllaity2369]

Great video....I’ve said it before but that garden is spectacular! And a lot of work!

[@sarahgill1248]

Excuse me that apple you put in the basket in the first few seconds had a perfect face on it!

[@NickiPositano]

I know, I saw that after too!

[@nadinetasmania]

Yep its a bear apple LOL

[@minisahni884]

Yeah !me too...so cute

[@DanielBMr-SundaySauce]

Your garden is Amazing. Escarole is the English for Scarola. New York Italians (me) really love it. We saute it in garlic and olive oil, Makes Escarole & Bean Saou or Zuppa Maritata which we Italian-Americans call Italian Wedding Soup, made by cooking a whole Chicken, making the broth. You take the chicken out of the pot after it's cooked, pull the meat off the bones and put back in the broth. Little Meatballs are cooked in the broth, and then the Ecarole goes in at the end, cooing for a few minutes, and then the soup is done. Carrots and onion in the soup as well. Caiom Daniel NY NY

[@NickiPositano]

Sounds good! Thank you!

[@sjsomer917]

Love your garden. It's so nice to see what you are doing day to day. Such beauty. Thank you!

[@JustAnotherRoger]

I still love this kind of video even though you can’t go out running around. It feel very homey

[@laurahunter1690]

Your lemon tree is gorgeous. I’ve never seen a lemon so big. Wow!

[@takuro2132]

Fabulous garden.

[@susanstewart7365]

I've been watching your channel for a bit and am thoroughly enjoying it. As I write this it is December 28, 2020 and I've just put more wood in our woodstove as I watch the snowflakes go drifting lazily by the window. I live in Canada and I love the snow. I was in Italy about 35 years ago and to this day I still love it as well. I've always loved everything Italian....where I grew up there was a large Italian influence. When I was in Italy I never forgot the food, the passion and the beautiful countryside. My only problem would be the heat and humidity but what the heck, there are worse things in life. Stay safe everyone.

[@allegrafavila2613]

I am obsessed with your channel after discovering it this morning!! I studied in Italy for a short time seven years ago...I think about it constantly. Love how you film your videos!

[@vivianrivera-franco3851]

Lovely day for a winter tour thanks ❤

[@janemarett1885]

My fascination to try and grow Bougainvillea in NZ in colder climate was unsuccessful for many years , but I never gave up and I now have two bougainvillea growing successfully framing a upstairs terrace . With lots of flowers this year , frost cloth saved them from being expired. But also I grew them with other climbers which helped to protect them from cold weather, being I live in the South Island where temps are much colder . Lovely vegetable garden, so wonderful to pick fresh every day .

[@NickiPositano]

well done for succeeding!

[@1964kamran]

Nikki and Carlo beautiful couple with beautiful life...

[@verenamartini8695]

Love your self sufficiency, that's so satisfying, going out, picking and the food shopping is done, great! I want a Lucas in my garden...Can i adopt him ...

[@nadinetasmania]

I was thinking that too...Luca has a handle on how to get the best from a garden plot!

[@christinalecce1141]

Thank you for the tour of the garden. As a chef, looking at the garden filled me with ideas to cook. I live in an apartment so I have very little space to grow such pretty vegetables . I know it's a lot of steps for you, but you are blessed.

[@kit2130]

I’m studying indoor growing over the winter. There are crops that can be grown indoors if you have the space!

[@lindacamp6229]

I absolutely love your garden. Eating things that you grow are such a joy and taste so much better. I hope your lockdown ends soon!!!

[@concernedcitizen3476]

omg...i could hang out in this garden all day. Orange trees? What a delight!! Our growing season is 12 weeks

[@roritayik9694]

It is so wonderful to watch your videos, thank you for your energy & passion in your filming , sharing with us your beautiful home. 💘

[@NickiPositano]

Thank you so much!

[@takparminders]

I must say that you live a magical life with lot of exercise to stay in shape 👍

[@doomeddodo]

The animals were like "Come on." While you were outside of the gate. 😄 Lovely garden.It's lovely to have a garden and grow plants,food.I very much like to have barries in the garden,like blackcurrant.I will try and grow that Toscan kale since it was the one I could find seeds for.All I hear is kale,kale,kale when there's talk of healthy eating.

[@watcher223]

What an extensive garden! A lot of work too! But oh my, how good this fresh bounty tastes.

[@gitanjalibanik4542]

You have everyone's dream house.The best part is you share your food.

[@rsoubiea]

Dichondra used to be wildly popular here along the west coast in the 50’s and 60’s. Mostly older homeowners who wanted to stop working so hard mowing the traditional lawn but still wanted something green and easily maintained. It looks neat and tidy. Not great for lots of foot traffic or children playing on it.

[@kirsiviitamaki246]

When I visited Sorrento in June 2018, I missed the Vallone dei Mulini. I hope that one day you can make a video from there and at the same time tell the history of the place. Thank you Nicki for your videos and all the best to you

[@NickiPositano]

I certainly will if we are ever allowed to go to Sorrento again!

[@susanrichards9144]

Such a lovely vlog. Loved the garden tour. Love what Carlo bought for lunch. It all looked so delicious.

[@honestlyabbysparks1484]

Soo awesome! I would love to move to Italy, except I can’t speak Italian and live in the US 🤪

[@almacarter7968]

oh my goodness i love your garden and its good to know it doesnt go to waste with all the family around .i would love to eat all the fruit too

[@karinvertue103]

Absolutely stunning and growing on the side of a cliff!

[@Ishisah]

That apple was smiling 🙂.

[@polyphiloprogenitive4614]

I'd rather look at your garden than all those gardening programmes on tv! I'd really enjoy seeing Luca explaining how he gardens.

[@speshul7525]

What a great garden

[@alishashenoy]

Beautiful place. Lovely views. So much hard work though the garden and the steps! Looking at those steps my knees start to ache!

[@mariaflordelizeescaleramon9818]

Its a paradise

[@karenbognuda5070]

You have a very beautiful and productive garden. The orange flower near the pool is called Bird of Paradise. Thanks for sharing.

[@NickiPositano]

yes, it is, thank you!

[@Fattiapples]

I wish my garden could be like this!! Beautiful

[@Toodle.Pipp001]

Thanks for another great video. Your salad looked good, but Carlos' pasta made me drool 😆

[@roslynmonahan1352]

Thankyou for showing us around your winter garden. Of course in Australia we are going into summer now but your garden and trips to Italy have definitely inspired our Mediterranean style back garden. Every year we are growing more food and I watch carefully what shape your fruit trees are in and how the tomatoes are tied and try and creat a piece of the Mediterranean here in Melbourne. Like the Amalfi Coast we have more mild winters and every summer we usually get a few days up around 40 degrees. Rarely do we get a frost and never snow and are a few minutes walk to the bay (on flat ground) no cliffs here. we are on pure sand though so we really have to improve our soil to grow our veggies as it just disappears straight through the sand. Thankyou to you and Carlo for the garden inspiration.

[@NickiPositano]

thank you for being inspired! It's lovely to be able to pick your own food!

[@debraboyea7776]

Another fantastic video! Thank you Nickie and Carlo.

[@debrent]

Ciao from San Diego, California! Your garden is an inspiration.

[@lindasoaft9303]

Wonderful sharing of the fruits of the garden!

[@andynixon2820]

You're videos get better and better . Thank you very much for posting them .

[@NickiPositano]

thank you

[@ayseminebalkanli4438]

If i go to positano, i could find your house. You show the way every time 😊

Congratulations - what a fabulous garden you and your family have. Very inspiring!

[@evelyncortez8643]

I really enjoyed this video. It was almost like I was there. Almost... 🥺. Thank you for sharing... 🙂.

[@barbarawillis5187]

Sunday morning, coffee, and Nicki Positano for viewing. I enjoyed the tour of the gardens. The cabbage plants are beautiful. I learned something new about storing potatoes. I always enjoy seeing the chickens and Holly and all of the cats, including Not-My-Cat. The lunch area at the cemetery looks so cozy for dining. The scene of Carlo walking home at twilight is like a painting. Thank you so much for all. Take care.🙂

[@florrie8767]

Aww scendi. He loves to be in your house. Sensible kitty

[@NickiPositano]

he loves to steal our food, you mean..

[@Smartgran]

Awesome. Was carried away and sitting at your table already eating that salad! Excellent.

[@judyshort38]

Lucky! We live in Northwest Ohio and our growing season is from May to Sept/October. Really enjoyed the whole video. Your production skills are really great! Wonderful . . .

[@pineapplelogic1709]

Satzuma are the best. We used to have a really good tree but for a reason I'm still mad at we had to get rid of it. it was a really good producer with the biggest fruit, just yum. I remember standing in the winter sun picking the fruit off the tree and throwing the peels in the garden.

[@NickiPositano]

I wish we had satsuma trees! I love them!

[@artinpoetsoulnature]

Wonderful gardening video 👌 Thank you very much for nice sharing👍👍👍 Take care my dear friend 💕🌷

[@VM13920]

My favorite video . Very relaxing. Thanks!

[@cbeark]

Thank you for another video being transported to a time and place that is just wonderful! This was a very enjoyable tour of the garden. We laughed at all the chicken and cat parts. Dont you just hate it when those hens squirm like that and youre like "ahhh please dont scratch me please dont scratch me". LOL, thats what goes through my mind every time they do that to me. I didnt realize you can eat lemons that are still green.

[@NickiPositano]

I haven't been scratched by a chicken yet, must be lucky!

[@cbeark]

​@@NickiPositano Well if that day comes, then you are you can share it with us in a video otherwise keep up the good luck ^_^

Lovely garden tour. Awwww, NMC wants to be your cat. 🐈 😃

[@estherhounsell8579]

New to your channel, you are wonderful and calming to listen to and your content is soothing and dreamy! My husband and I visited Italy for our 25th wedding anniversary and the Amalfi coast was our favourite- hope we can return one day soon

What a beautiful life you have. My newest & favourite channel! 🪴🐓🍋🍊🥦🧅🌸

[@nef3362]

magnificent garden cabbage, fennel tomatoes all plants look great congratulations

[@theadventurousallotmenteer6582]

This is a really interesting video for me, as I'm planning to visit the Positano/Naples/Capri area next year but also because there is something familiar about the plants you are growing, and the timings. This never used to be the case in the UK, but here on the coast things are changing fast, winter vegetables like lettuce and kale, and cabbage and broccoli are becoming quite normal, but also things like figs, some citrus and other fruits are now starting to be grown outdoors here by daring individuals. It's really great to see this garden looking good and productive in winter!

[@donnaparducci1525]

Awh! You have such a nice garden, it must be a pleasure planning meals around your vegetables. I love the way you & Carlo meet up for lunch. Perfect part of the world to be in lockdown! 🌈💚

[@NickiPositano]

The best!

[@jeanritchie873]

Love your garden Nikki.🥰

[@LadyGreyAgeingDisGracefully]

About those small apples... Apple trees need another apple tree for cross pollination. If you can identify your apple then you could select the correct pollinator. You will then be able to grow bigger, sweeter apples.

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks for your suggestion❤️

[@gloriaharwerth4865]

Thank you for showing us your garden. I love your channel ❤ 💕

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks so much 😊

[@auntytutu]

What a splendid day, Thank You Nicki!!!

[@StephenSmith-ge1qf]

Love your garden. I'm right in the very north of Italy, Lombardy side of Lake Maggiore in the pre Alps near the Swiss border. I've got 7500 square metres of land, very steep but terraced. I grow a lot of vegetables but, obviously, the winters here are rather less obliging than where you live! I have kale, fennel and ciboria under protection, and a poly tunnel in which I can keep some tough salads in the winter. Otherwise I grow from April until November. 10 days ago the whole lot got buried under 40cm. of snow, so not much happening now until the spring. But the summer is incredibly productive, jams and preserves for the whole year.

[@NickiPositano]

Have you managed to grow parsnips? They famously don't work in these parts!

[@StephenSmith-ge1qf]

@@NickiPositano I can grow parsnips! Not the very best parsnips as the soil is very acidic but with judicious applications of wood ash they will grow.

[@tommiller7357]

Loved your garden tour! All your hard work certainly pays off with delicious fruits and vegetables. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephanieryder6044]

The crinkly cabbage is called "Savoy" Cabbage, which I love. I really love your videos. I watch several of your videos a day because they are very relaxing for me. I love watching you cook. Thanks for producing these videos.

[@minisahni884]

All of us envy your amazing garden....with such variety of fruits and veggies....and the herbs which you say are just growing in bushes like sage nd rosemary, I have to pay so much nd get them in small bottles. 👍😊I really enjoy when Carlo gets such yummy dishes to eat at lunch....my mouth starts watering...🤪..Wow!!!

[@andreamerciar3779]

I have time off work until 4th January and would happily spend it binge-watching your videos . . . they are wonderful, so beautifully-made and with such a modest touch. You deserve many more subscribers as your videos are so organic, and such a pleasure to watch. Santorini also has that houses-tumbling-down-to-the-sea quality to its architecture, and in high season is as touristy as Positano but it is very beautiful and sunsets there are also breathtakingly beautiful.
