Hi Neal, Indeed it can take a while if the cream content is low. It kept us amused for ages when we were kids. Thank you for sharing this. 😊

Hi Lorraine, have fun on your composting course, it maybe good to meet some other like minded people and talk compost. It can be trial and testing to see what works for you, that what I’ve done just over many, many years. It’s exciting to start planting up all those seedlings with hope of yummy harvests. 😊

Hi Guycalgary7800, thank you for your comment, you just brought back a memory for me too, when we lived on a dairy farm when I was young and we would very occasionally get frosted flakes ( Frosties) 🙏

@@livingjustright90 Hi Rae, aww I’m sorry your original message disappeared into the YT abyss! It’s good to hear from you anyway and I hope the garden wedding went well. The clay water feeders are handy especially when you don’t have an irrigation system. 🤗

@@livingjustright90 Hi Rae, it really was fascinating, I was very impressed by the boot spikes they use for climbing the tree. I don’t think I’ll be trying it any time soon though! It is a relief to get this tree down as it was the one over hanging a little too much. I think you might be right with the branch chipping, I might just decorate the pile for Christmas lol 🤗 xx

@@janicegray511 Hi Janice, thank you for taking the time to comment, it’s a shame you don’t find this video as practical as you might like. Our kitchen is far from “fancy” but we like to make the most of what we have. I use many different ways to measure ingredients, and I find that this is a great recipe that can be prepared ahead of time before cooking outside by mixing all the dry ingredients for transportation and just adding the milk last which can be done whilst camping. We do have our share of wind and gales here in Scotland but we are also blessed with some beautiful weather too, which is when most people that enjoy camping in the great outdoors head out. Enjoy the rest of your day, take care. 😊

@@domnicadragan377 Absolutely, you are so right, we never get chance to be bored! 😂 Thank you for stopping by, I hope you are well. 😊

@@lorrainerichardson3280 Yes we will definitely be getting warm several times over by this wood , by the time we get it all cut up, stacked and chipped. 😂

@@domnicadragan377 Hi Dominica, it’s lovey to hear from you and thank you for your beautiful words, that’s very kind of you 🙏

@@lorrainerichardson3280 Hi Lorraine, thank you for the plant identification, I think you might just be correct. The green bottles do get filled with water or I have used my banana tea or manure water to have a slow release water or feed which is delivered near the plant root system. I use the clay spike for the same reason as you, I don’t have an irrigation system and it saves quite so many trips with the watering cans, so this is what I use. In warmer weather I do have to top the watering up generally with a watering can but the spike can keep things going in between times. Just as we are slowing down you folks across the big pond are speeding into the excitement of spring. 🌱

Garlic - I add a layer of home made compost when planting in October, then in Spring I top dress with some well rotted manure. I don’t add anything else. 🙏 I show this in the video that I did in Spring called “A Spring Awakening In The Polytunnel” 🙏

@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 Thank you =-)

@@livingjustright90 Hi Rae, wow a wedding in the garden, and that of Humble Highlanders too, how wonderful, what an honour but oh so much organising. When the time comes a message from Adam and I to yourself, Brian and all of your guests to raise a glass in toast of the happy couple, “Slainte” 🥃🥃 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 After this might be a perfect time to sit and plan your next travel adventure. We had tried to plan this one a few years ago but it wasn’t meant to be then, but was perfect for us this time. We have noted a couple of places that we want to go back to, to explore a little more. As much as it’s lovely to research places that we want to see we also like to go with the flow and see what we find. The day we went to the monastery medicinal & veggie garden , the cable car in Switzerland and the wee wander in the hills was just perfect but not planned at all. I hope to hear all about your travels one day. I’ve been having a few video techie issues this week but hopefully you can pour yourself a cuppa soon and join me in the polytunnel for the next video as we enter the frosty nights. It’s an especially busy time for you on a normal day, so please remember to pause for breath every so often. Take care 🙏 Menita

@@china7843 Hello my patient friend. 😊 Yes working with rocky ground can be very challenging and exhausting but for me it is worth it. Little by little, it can be done. I still have a few more garden beds to do, so I will be with you in spirit each step of the way. You will be rewarded. 🤗

@@jeanettefrancis6473 I agree the history is important to keep alive for future generations, I do find it all fascinating, everyone & every place has a story to tell. There is generally a nature & gardening based theme to most of my/our trips. I like to appreciate someone else’s designs, uses of spaces & hard work. 🤗

@@mellow-3oj Thank you so much on both accounts 😊

@@lorrainerichardson3280 That’s what we will have to factor in when we hopefully get to plan a trip over to New Zealand, I will be asking for some tips 🤗

@@jeanettefrancis6473 Hi Jeanette, Yes that is very true, everything does carry on and keep growing, this is why we planned our trip at this time as things start to slow down a little and it over laps the autumn planting. It sounds like you are also exercising your Spring patience, as I know it is so tempting. 😊 I will look forward to hearing how things are getting on, what you are growing, your celebrations and lessons from the garden. Thank you for calling in by 🤗

@@livingjustright90 Hi Rae, sometimes I just feel like you are sitting at my table drinking tea with me, I do love our catch ups 🙏 Your garden pantry sounds very productive especially when fresh food on your plate in winter is such a treat. Our winters can go down to -13 to -15 C here and there are times that we don’t get any winter sun due to us being tucked in the corner of the hills. I do use some fleece and mini plastic tunnels for extra protection but there are some things that we just can’t grow. Finger crossed this year we have a few more things survive to see us through the hungry gap, it’s trying to time the planting so the plants are big enough to survive but not too big that they just freeze. Thank you for the volunteer plant ID I think it will start dying off soon so we may not see the full growth but I have taken pictures to research it a little more. You have briefly mentioned before about your travel plans, I’m so pleased you are booking a date to make these dreams happen. Take care 🤗

Hi Lorraine, It sounds like you are excising your Spring patience, it is so tempting sometimes to start to plant those seeds. I will look forward to hearing how your garden is blooming on our dark winter days here. 🤗

@@debpratt52 Thank you for stopping in by. A gallon glass milk bottle! Now that would have been very handy. Let me know how you get on with this recipe, it’s great for some outdoor cooking 😊

@@kartikamarjeet2082 Thank you 🙏

@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 Your Welcome! 🙏🙏🙂

@@andrearossi5578 Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully found it helpful. 😊

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081 Hi Nikki, a warm hug to Tyson, thank you for sharing this story, I know you understand just how I felt when Baloo went walk abouts! It sounds like we are in a similar age and stage of life as I would love to have a few more animal friends around me but I too am travelling and hoping for other travel trips before I welcome any other furry friends into the fold of our home. I am so appreciative of you being here and for your lovely comments, thank you 🤗

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081 Thank you Nikki, I completely agree, all the hard work is worth everything that we get back and more often than not that is a whole lot more than the edibles that come from the garden. 🤗

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081 Hi Nikki, it sounds like the love of gardening has been passed down in your family which I should imagine your parents will have been very happy about. I am so sorry for your loss of your parents, I am sending virtual hugs, sometimes words are just not enough. ❤️ The garden is a perfect place to remember and celebrate those lovely times🤗

Hi Nikki, yes i have a reading pile just waiting for the cosy nights when the file is lit and it’s time for some seasonal rest. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🤗

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081 That sounds just lovely, it is great to hear of the things other likeminded people are doing within their own communities. Thank you for sharing your own superb example, it sounds like we have so much in common 🤗

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081Thank you Nikki, adding a wee dash of vanilla is a great idea. Isn’t it just lovely when grandchildren get involved and/or just enjoy eating foods you have prepared and of course there is always something special about a grandparents kitchen 🤗

@@nikkifangaiuiha6081 Avery warm welcome Nikki, it’s lovely to have you here. Thank you for leaving such a lovely comment, it’s always interesting to hear what others are planning or doing in their gardens and sharing such diversities from different parts of the world. Thank you for the encouragement and I will look forward to hearing how your spring crops get on. 🤗

Hi Sabine, I’m so glad you found this video useful and you can add it to your own recipe collection. 😊

Hiya,it is a lovely way for us to spend time together, have lots of laughs and chats whilst still helping out, we all try to help each other when we can. That’s what families are for. Yes the little one is our youngest granddaughter and the cheeky one is my daughter. I hope the pumpkins are fruitful but alot of learning has gone into them and Everleigh loved planting them and my mum & dad have kept an eye no them whilst my daughter is going arrange for some of the larger, over hanging trees to be removed so it really is a family affair just now, it might not be quite as much once it gets colder though 😂😊

@@patriciaserdahl5577 Thank you so much and yes that is the perfect description of “sharing my blessings” as that is just how I feel too. Thank you for being here from so far across the water and being part of what we do. 🙏😊

@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636 your very welcome love your channel ❤

@@lorrainerichardson3280 Hi Lorraine, all the gardens are a little too much for my parents now so we are all doing what we can to get things back in order and to try to simplify things so it makes it easier and my parents can spend time doing what they can and enjoying the garden space. Thank you re the pumpkins 😊 Take care 🤗

Hi Sabine, Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful comment, I truely appreciate it. It has surprised me that in just one or two generations that such life skills are at risk of being lost, that's partly why I started this channel as I felt that i needed to do my bit however small it maybe. I can remember foraging with my grandparents before it had a name, it's was just something that we did and then my Nan and mum would make all kinds of pantry and medicinal supplies. Its the same as all the other life skills that I am hoping are now making a bit of a come back like, growing food where possible, sewing, cooking from scratch, fixing things , shopping local, bartering, trading with neighbours and sharing precious skills and knowledges that will be lost if we don't. That's why I encourage chats in the comments, there is always some absolute nuggets of information. Thank you so much for joining us and adding your voice. Take Care 😊😊

It’s a plastic sheet to keep the weeds down until I can back over to work on the next part. 😊

@@feifei-sweetcat That’s so sweet, thank you 😊

@@feifei-sweetcat Aww thank you so much, it really does bring back happy memories 😊

@@susanmartinez1346 Thank you 😊

@@jeanettefrancis6473 Thank you and yes that is always a risk but hopefully people will be respectful. 😊

It depends where they are being picked. From where I pick mine, I check them and wash them if they are dirty. Once you have rolled and bruised the leaves, you put them in the glass container to ferment. Then put the container in a dark and cool place. Once the leaves have gone a dark brown, there will be moisture on the inside from the fermentation, and it will be warm, it will also have a certain smell to it before I dehydrate it. 😊

Thank you so much, yes it was so good to get him home. 🙏

@@feifei-sweetcat Thank you so much ❤️

@@feifei-sweetcat Awww thank you so much and a very warm welcome to our wee virtual community 🤗

@@lorrainerichardson3280 Thank you Lorraine. There a lot of hoops to jump through to sell homemade foods on a stand, I’m not quite there yet, but I will keep it as a possibility in the future. Wouldn’t it be so much fun if we were part of that community in the physical as well as the virtual lol 😊

I’m glad you enjoyed it, thank you for stopping by 😊

@@livingjustright90 Hi Rae, Thank you so much, I like to capture these moments in the garden as all to soon we will swop over and we will be in the midst of the cold season. I love the fact that we all have stories and hidden talents, some of which we don’t even recognise ourselves. We rarely give ourselves enough credit! I will let you know how “ fruitful” the Veggie Shack is. 😂Thankyou , as always for being here, I appreciate you. Take care 😊

Thank you Lorraine, yes this type of thing brings back a lot of memories for me too. Hopefully more & more people will establish their own gardens or get involved in community gardens as we manoeuvre through tricky times. 😊

@@summerbreeze1955 Thank you 🙏

@@barbarabond5460 I do believe we experienced the storm at the same time, it was pretty fierce. I’m delighted that you enjoy my videos, thank you 🙏 I’d be really interested to know what you can grow over in Roy Bridge if you are happy to share this information? 😊

I can grow most of the brassicas, salad leaves etc, carrots, peas, beans, potatoes sweetcorn in a good summer. In my polytunnel I grow asparagus, tomatoes, squash and pumpkins, herbs, flowers, peppers, aubergines, courgettes and have been trying melons for the last two years with limited success. However we get a lot of rain and humidity is high while the season is short so it can be challenging and this year has been poor for heat/sun. I look for varieties that crop early and grow in cooler conditions and find that these work better for me.

@@barbarabond5460Wow, that is a fab list , you definitely make the most of our short growing season 👏 I always struggle with tomatoes, cucumbers & peppers due to us being tucked away with limited sun but it doesn’t stop me trying 😊 I did try melons but there was no way it would ripen in time. Like most this year I have struggled with the wet weather, limited sun and so many slugs it hasn’t helped that I’ve had a few trips away this year so I’ve been playing catch up at times. Thank you for sharing your list, it’s so good to hear from other local folk that have the same issues as me. 😊

​@@ahumblehighlandhome-scotla8636yes, ditto, it's really nice to chat to other locals and share experiences in the garden. Thankyou for the nice exchanges, it can feel a bit isolated at times there aren't many that interested in growing in a wildlife friendly way around me. Very best wishes for all your Projekts, I shall continue to watch and enjoy your videos ❤

@@barbarabond5460 Thank you for your continued support the next video will be out shortly 😊
