Winter surprises in our garden | Life on a small farm in Central Europe

[@FranWhorton-of5ql]

I always love Tommy's sarcasm. Maybe that is because I am very sarcastic myself. Sometimes I just can't help myself! Love your winter videos, especially when you catch the snowflakes ❄ coming down. It's so beautiful, as I know Peter 😍 would say.

[@tommyandpeter]

Tommy always makes me laugh, I love his sarcastic style too, haha 😀

[@lestatthaddee]

Even when there's not much going on high and low at the country cottage, you guys manage to upload a lovely produced video. Kudos, gentlemen, and thank you. Special mention to Tommy for his sarcasm !

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you 😊 Not much to do there in winter, but we still like to go to the country house to check on everything and do some chores. Also to harvest some things 😊 Haha, Tommy and his humor, always spot on 😁

[@donwolverton6222]

Lol, Tommy needs to do more how-to videos. It was a joy to hear him explain how to plant the garlic in such detail. Not everyone is as experienced in gardening as he is. Thanks.

[@tommyandpeter]

Haha, absolutely 😂😁 We all need him to tell us how it's done 😁

[@MartinCharvát-k4t]

I'm glad you're happy. I've been living with my boyfriend in a village in Central Bohemia for several years. He originally lived in South Bohemia for 20 long years, where he grew perennials. Today I live only for our garden. I enjoy watching you and I hope you all do well, boys.

[@tommyandpeter]

That sounds great. Having a garden is a joy and it can be very rewarding, also when you both love it 😊

[@mariedupuis7802]

Hello Peter and Tommy ! Even if your garden is under the snow, it worths the visit ! You have beautiful hazelnuts full of vitamins for your meals. It is always a joy to harvest our own garden products. Have a good time in your countryside house and be happy ❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Hi Marie, thank you very much 😊 We love our garden and everything it brings us 💚

[@peggyesquibel8353]

Hi guys! Tommy, your sense of humor cracks me up!😂. Love the snow! It is so pretty and peaceful! It is so cool that you still have yummy vegetables, nuts, etc. you can harvest from your garden. There is nothing better than fresh foods you have grown yourself. The furry yellow visitor you had was so sweet! Maybe it will stay around the farm and help keep rodents away. Great video guys! Take care!

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you very much, Peggy 😊 We definitely wouldn't mind for our visitor to stay around and catch some rodents 😁

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you very much, R and D 😊😉

[@jeffreydavies2412]

Lovely to see the garden in winter and it's always heartwarming to see you both cozied up in your home showing us some of the activities you get up to.❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Jeff 😊 It's a different vibe in winter, but we still like going to the country house 😊

[@JeanGenie1851]

My favourite videos are the ones when you are both on your land. This one is super good in the snow.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Jeannie 😊 We love spending time at the country house and we can't wait for spring when it's warmer and more pleasant outside 😊

[@TSinRM]

Orange tabby cats are very special; I love them.

[@tommyandpeter]

This one was lovely, would be nice if it returned from time to time 😊

[@SamPhan-f9s]

This was the perfect video for a cold winter day here in the southeastern US. We actually had snow twice here already this January. First time in 5 years! Thank you for sharing your lovely winter activities!!! ❤❤❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you 😊 Wow, that sounds really special with the snow at your place. It can be magical 😊 When one doesn't have to drive of course 😁

[@FranWhorton-of5ql]

I just love you guys together. You always make me chuckle and lift up my spirit. Thanks for being you! And Tommy, I'm not being sarcastic 🙂.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Fran. Always makes us happy to hear that 😊😉

[@lilianadoval8927]

Oh guys, I thought the cat distribution system had found you but no, you are not ready yet. That adorable orange kitten looked very well cared for and he/her must already have a home and loving owners. How nice it feels to see that amount of snow from this other side of the screen, on a sticky, 35° C day. I still love summer, for me it is synonimus with freedom. Enjoyable video guys, as always. See you soon.

[@tommyandpeter]

Nicely said, Liliana 😁 Definitely not ready yet, but we don't mind a visitor here and there 😊 We can't wait for warm days. Enjoy your summer while it lasts ☀😉

[@tommyandpeter]

And the cat was a little guy 😊

[@lilianadoval8927]

@@tommyandpeter Thanks a lot. He is sooo cute!!!!

[@hellerjerry]

nice to get out in the garden all through the year and see what is going on

[@tommyandpeter]

Yes, even in winter there are some things to harvest 😊

[@inekeroos9264]

Hazelnut pesto : Roast the nuts in a dry pan , take off the loose brown skins Oil of your choice , lots of parsley , garlic , salt , Grind and mix , add ground parmesan or grana padano yumm ! ❤ love from Danmark

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks for the tip, Ineke. We will try it in the future when we have more hazelnuts. Sounds yummy 😊

[@kristinemiller3786]

Love ❤️ your videos 📹. Blessings to you 🙏 ❤️ 💛 💕 ✨️ guys

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you, Kristine 😉

[@roberteichenberg604]

Snow covered garden looking magical. We are having record snow in northern part of Florida (looks like your garden) so it is fun seeing it all around the earth. Like the technic for opening the hazel nuts. Spring is coming.

[@tommyandpeter]

It can be fun when there is snow, we really like it 😁 So interesting that you have so much snow in northern Florida, that's cool. Enjoy it while it lasts 😊

[@empret7704]

Hi Tommy, your sense of humour amaze me ... which I was there for the hazel nuts, I love them. Wonder if the frog was in the pond when it froze 🥺 I'm sure he find another hiding place 😊You two have a great weekend

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks 😁 Frogs are smart and they don't live in water all the time. They use to hiberate in some hiding place in winter, so you don't have to worry 😊

[@MartinCharvát-k4t]

Big likeable people.We also live in the village.

[@tommyandpeter]

Ahoj Martin, thank you. Village life is great 😁

[@donaldauguston9740]

Wonderful video. I adore you both so much. DA

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you very much, Donald 😊

[@BeingBoringx2]

Great seeing the kitty - I was hoping you had adopted one! I love orange cats and have one in my lap right now. All my best to you guys! :) Happy New Year!!!

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you 😊 We'll see if the cat returns from time to time. It was a lovely visitor. Give yours a cuddle from us 😁

[@MatthewHenley-s7m]

Hazelnuts are my favourite ❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Yes, so yummy 😊

[@yottskraper5704]

U 2 R amazing! Your garden in winter is fascinating! I built a cold frame in our garden and raised cold crops like kales and chards very successfully. Our climate in the Midwest is somewhat similar to yours.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you. Luckily our winters are not totally cold (usually no strong frost), so we can grow some greens all year round. Your cold frame sounds very good 😊

[@mikeyweaselwhipper3074]

impressive!!! 👏🏼👍🏼

[@tommyandpeter]

Thanks 😉

[@colleensnyder8943]

When should we expect the garlic planting guide to be published? .. 😂

[@tommyandpeter]

Haha, wait for the "use our promo code TommyTheGarlicMaster to get our exclusive guide". Coming soon 😂

[@kristinemiller3786]

How 🤔 ❓️ cold 🥶 is it. Love ❤️ your new friend.

[@tommyandpeter]

It wasn't that cold, just a normal winter 😁

[@daz4240]

Love the video ❤

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you 😊😉

[@frankieboy967]

I’ve only tasted hazelnut in Nutella spread. The nuts are edible raw or do they require roasting? And now the cat has discovered your garden, it has determined it’s a safe space. So probably many more visits in the future. Your videos are always comforting.

[@tommyandpeter]

Thank you 😉 Yes, hazelnuts are edible raw and yummy. Nutella contains just a small amount (it's mostly palm oil and sugar). You can roast them, then they are tastier but also lose a lot of good stuff that way. Definitely healthier when they are raw. Same as walnuts, almonds and so on. Would be fun if the cat returned from time to time 😊

[@mcconegh]

I wish I could remember whether you plant garlic with the top on top or the bottom on top. I'll have to go back and listen again. Gardening can be so confusing! 😵‍💫

[@tommyandpeter]

It can be very confusing 😋 Good thing there is this video now to save everyone from doing it wrong 😂

[@mcconegh]

@@tommyandpeter Yes, your videos make life richer and less disappointing in so many unforeseen ways! 😀

[@rabidbuddha4328]

My parents built a house in an old hazelnut grove. They had a hard time finding uneaten nuts.

[@tommyandpeter]

Yeah... We'll see how it goes with ours, but for now we've been very pleasantly surprised 😊

[@ronroelevink7097]

So much 'important' information about planting garlic and then forgetting to tell how deep they should be planted...😅 my guess is, quite deep? I can look it up but I enjoy waiting for your answer more 😊

[@tommyandpeter]

The trick is to plant it underground, not above the ground 😉

There are no squirrels as the forest is far away, too many open spaces- too many predators-owls, hawks, cats, foxes, etc... When the forest got closer to your house and garden... then you will get them for sure :)

[@tommyandpeter]

There are almost none in the forest either, but maybe once our little magic forest in the garden grows, they will appear 😁
