“A UA-cam personality who talked to us” … I know just how you feel! It was the thrill of my life talking with both of you on a knitting cruise, and then again at Jimmy Bean’s.❤
Please don’t cut down the tree by the lake-it’s beautiful! Imagine it with white lights in the winter- especially at Christmas😊 You have a beautiful home and garden.
What a beautiful place your home is located! You have a lot of gardens & walkways to care for - longer days give you more time to do your chores! Thanks
Such beauty! I would never want to leave home if I lived where you did. The lake, gardens, pathways, and seating areas. And the greenhouse!! thank you for letting us 'visit'.
Catching up with your videos after a harrowing season of climate work here in New York. We're suffering a terrible heat wave at the moment making the glacial pace of climate action even more upsetting. It's lovely spending a little virtual time with you both while I'm knitting a colorwork vest out of yarns that I've dyed with botanical dyes. Your garden is so lovely. I'm inspired to try to put more effort into mine. I think I might have to try to go on the next English Garden tour with you!!!
I have a great aunt who travelled to Norway and met some of the people that used to be neighbors or know my ancestors that left Norway in the late 1800s. She had taken some picture by the house/barn they built on the land next to a fjord and I found it on google maps, same everything even a supposed Viking graveyard. Im sure living there was way more difficult back then and they could barely grow food, mainly for the few livestock they had. But it was GORGEOUS, things must’ve been rough to want to have to move from that. They were great fishermen though! It looks so similar to your beautiful home and I wish I could love back there.
I love your garden much nicer than the gardens you have just visited over here in the UK . Enjoy the summer in your garden when it arrives. Sian from North Wales 😊
Lovely episode! When suddenly you all started to speak your language, it gave the scene such a cosy, homely vibe. I wish I could speak this hygge/mys language ❤
Dear Arne and Carlos glad of all the excursions and that you are back now and I have rotten weather here very cold and not nice so you have our weather and here it is a a month later
Lovely ideas for your space. Winter here in South Australia. No rain - drought. No gale force coastal wind which is the usually the norm. Sunny. Very abnormal weather world wide. Worrying. I have kept a fern gifted to my son when he was in kindy. He's now 33.
I'm going to watch this video again and also remember to watch it next winter. You've created a lovely tribute to your beautiful garden and to spring 😊
So beautiful and you have accomplished so much even with travel and all else you do! Thank you for sharing and enjoy summer in your lovely garden on the lake 💐
Greetings, We are experiencing a week long heatwave 100° days and very warm evenings (not good sleeping weather). Your gardens are lovely. Cheers, Upstate NY
I live in Iowa, USA. We too have experienced an early blooming season. We had very warm temps with lots of rain showers. Please do not take out that pine, it will provide a place for the birds and provide a beautiful view when the winter snow fall.
Thank you for the tour of the outside of your property! Your garden is amazing right beside your lake and your extension will be so great!! Looking forward to updates on Rob and all the other garden things! Loved hearing you speak Norwegian with each other !!!
I have a robot vacuum cleaner whose name is Bertie 😂 and I talk to him too. I always feel compelled to thank him so when AI takes over, I might be spared by our new robot overlords 😅
So wonderful to see this. Made me pick up my knitting that has sat since May 27th. Here just above the 49th parallel, westcoast Canada, summer is late. Rain and cold weather until 3 days ago finally the sun is warming enough to make the rose buds begin to open. I loved the part about Rob, both of you speaking Norwegian. Such a beautiful sound hearing your native tongue. I wouldn't mind if this happens again, and possibly subtitles available? Happy gardening and renovating. ❤😊🦋🥂
Oh gosh, no apologies necessary - your garden is already loves especially for this early in the year. I love those boulders and an edging for the geraniums and the path you've worked on is going to be amazing. Good luck with Rob.
Thank you for sharing. Your garden is beautiful. I can not imagine weeding all that brick pavement- good luck! We here in Michigan are almost 4 weeks ahead as well. A mild winter and a moderately warm spring has brought everything out early.
Your home and garden is so magical. And a lake! My mothers family are from Norway. She was 100% Norwegian. She and her family loved their yards and gardens. She shared this love with me although I enjoy a more wild garden than t0she did. Your yard is very much to my taste as well as the lake! My great grandfather was from Norway. My grandmother spoke norwegian. Actually all my family on my mothers side are from Norway.
I had a feeling you ran into Fergus Garret at Great Dixter... Perhaps he was "fan girl-ing" over you two, as well! How fun. Thanks for showing some of your book haul from your garden touring, looks like you got to see some great places. Your garden is looking very spring forward... as for your tree dilemma, perhaps you'd consider saving it to cut down at Christmas time for the next round of Christmas balls (and the birds can use until then). All the motifs can be nature-inspired from your garden...? Just be sure to plant another one to accentuate your view of the lake from your new addition or favorite view out from the garden. Enjoy! 💚
Long time subscriber but have never commented. Your gardens are lovely. The view of the lake is priceless. Construction can be very stressful. We had a sunroom built last spring and it was crazy. I very much enjoy going to the thrift stores with you. So nice of Arne to finish the blind dead lady’s projects😆 Love you both❤
Gorgeous plants I like getting out I n the garden found you channel through the last homely house , I've,been to Norway 🇳🇴 but years ago ! Loved it Kaye x
Your Bergenia are HUGE. They get about 16 " high in Western Canada with thr flower stalk! I don't see any Rhubarb! Always luv a good strawberry & rhubarb pie in June. When your peonies bloom, you can make Peony Jelly. It is delicious!
I can relate - I was starstruck at your workshop in 2022! 🤩🥰 Lilacs seem to bloom earlier every year here in Northern Illinois. Enjoyable but concerning…
My that’s a lot of ground to take care of, but I can see how much you love being outdoors. Love the greenhouse! And maybe you can repurpose that fir tree (that will be cut down near the lake) for an early Christmas indoors. 😉
Your garden is beautiful! I had a moose run through my yard and made quite a mess! Good thing she was cute and I could get beautiful picks. Happy gardening❤️
i know the plight that Arne is having with those pest roots....here in the new orleans area we have 3 vines that will grow back if you leave the root alive....we have green ivy, purple ivy and kudzu.....kudzu is the worst, it can grown up the side of you house and the weight of it can remove plaster siding, vinyl siding and if it gets its roots under wood planks,, it can loosen them...Kudzu also grows up telephone poles and the weight can disconnect the wires from the pole.....we also have bamboo and with how wild it grows, you have put a root barrier where you plant it to prevent the spread....the root barrier requires you to bury think sheets of plastic more than a foot (30cm) or more where you want the bamboo to grow and then you have build sturdy fence or wall around the bamboo garden...either wood or stone, it can look really nice if done right.....if you don't put the root barrier and fencing around the bamboo, it will take over your yard and spread to your neighbor's yard too
A lovely walk around your garden. I watched the video while in my campervan at a campsite near Lillehammer - so perhaps not far away! However the weather is now not so sunny and warm in Norway. Hope your new summer plants are OK.
Ever since I first went to Norway and Denmark it has fascinated me how the growing season is so short in Scandinavia! In Switzerland at an altitude of 400-700 m above sea level (the lowest altitude we have is something like 270 m!) our season begins gently in March and we can put tender plants out from mid-May (early May this year). We don't get snow as much as we used to, and it's generally only November-March on and off, so obviously different to you on a mountain. But it does mean that you get to have a lot of flowers blooming profusely at once that we have one after the other, which is the silver lining to your short season!! Our clematis and paeonies are already finished, even the roses are nearly done and it's not even mid-June, yet...
How are your insects? This year our June biting flies are especially fierce! But, we also have wildflowers I’ve never seen before! I live at 4000 feet on Palomar Mountain in San Diego county.
Wow! The garden looks lovely! It’s exceptionally hot down here in Texas as well, but everything in our garden that is in direct sunlight is beginning to look very charred and brown lol 😂 happy to see you both as always ❤❤❤❤
So much fun to see your garden and all that you have done there already this season! My sister just came for a visit and we worked together to make my garden look nice, but it’s not nearly as nice as yours. I do have some of the same plants as you. My ferns are huge, though, and want to take over everything! Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Hello arnecarlos Beautiful garden. I do feel though that you should completely jet wash the brick paths to expose their beauty. No moss on them. Too treacherous. Moss is lovely on walls or boulders...💯🍻💞
How beautiful are your surroundings! The lake surrounded by fir trees, the blue sky and the lovely garden around the house. It was a pleasure to see. Thanks!
Thanks for the tour! It’s amazing and frightening how much ahead of the usual schedule your garden is growing. At this rate you’ll have violets blooming in January!
What a beautiful garden setting you have there! FYI -- sometimes your outdoor volume is quite low. I need to wear headphones to hear this and other outdoor episodes....I'm grateful that I have a solution ( and no, I do not have hearing issues 😉).
Enjoyed the views of your garden, it's beautiful...Please don't cut down the tree, I love it where it is!!! To kill the weeds, salt is supposed to work better than vinegar. The best salt is the one used in winter on icy areas. It will kill good plants as well as weeds, so its best used in your gravel areas.
This was so delightful! Lovely to see Freya "at large." Hoping Rob only needs an update! The garden is early indeed. Having watched the gardening videos and shorts, it is familiar to me now. It makes it wonderful to see it evolving over time...your hands and it's heart are a fertile combination. Thank you SO much❤
“A UA-cam personality who talked to us” … I know just how you feel! It was the thrill of my life talking with both of you on a knitting cruise, and then again at Jimmy Bean’s.❤
I enjoyed listening to you speak in your native language. 😊

Such a beautiful garden ! And with the view of the water it cannot be more perfect
Thank you so much Arlette!
Paradise
The reflection of the sky and clouds in the lake is lovely. Glad you have a good time in the UK and enjoyed the gardens.
The view of your house and garden from across the lake is absolutely spectacular you're fortunate to live in such a beautiful place! ❤ 😊
Hello dear Boys, this was a delightful video. Seeing your garden brings me such joy. Thank you ❤
You are welcome.
its so much fun ,walking with you guys through your garden . i hope you do a lot more of these. thank you
You are welcome!
So fun to see your garden! It’s looking beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your garden with us- so fun to hear you planning your garden and seeing what plants are growing there
You are welcome!
Garden ideas so far along! Beautiful...
Thank you!
Your garden, the lake and your home are stunning. I can only wish for that atmosphere. Thank you for sharing.
Thaank you for watching!
What a wonderful garden you have. I long to live near water. Your home is lovely.
What a beautiful place your home is located! You have a lot of gardens & walkways to care for - longer days give you more time to do your chores! Thanks

It's already hit 100 here. Texas is tough. We start planting in early March. By August, it's a losing battle with the heat. I love seeing your garden.
Hello there! I hope Robs is working well. He seems pretty cool.❤
I have a great aunt who travelled to Norway and met some of the people that used to be neighbors or know my ancestors that left Norway in the late 1800s.

I just love the way the sky and shoreline is reflected in the water. It’s just magical. 🧚

Nice update on your garden. Lovely. And always nice to hear you speaking in Norwegian. Thank you❤️
I love hearing you speak Norwegian. It’s my childhood language. Thanks for the tour:)
Thank you for joining!
Hi guys. You live in such a beautiful peaceful place. ❤
We are fortunate
What a beautiful garden! And love listening to you all speak Norwegian!
Dear Arne and Carlos glad of all the excursions and that you are back now and I have rotten weather here very cold and not nice so you have our weather and here it is a a month later
We hope you get better weather soon.
Yes me too for the last half year it rained and it is still cold like last year no summer
Lovely ideas for your space. Winter here in South Australia. No rain - drought. No gale force coastal wind which is the usually the norm. Sunny. Very abnormal weather world wide. Worrying. I have kept a fern gifted to my son when he was in kindy. He's now 33.
We had an early spring here also in Montreal. I wish you a good gardening season. It is a real pleasure to listen to you speak Norvegian, thanks !
Thank you for sharing more of your life, and your beautiful garden with us. And the view of the lake in the background is spectactular!
Thank you for watching!
I'm going to watch this video again and also remember to watch it next winter. You've created a lovely tribute to your beautiful garden and to spring 😊
Seeing the videos of your garden is such a treat. This is my favorite. Thank you !
I like how you have seating in all different areas of the gardens.
Yes, it gives us an opportunity to enjoy it at different spots.
So beautiful and you have accomplished so much even with travel and all else you do! Thank you for sharing and enjoy summer in your lovely garden on the lake 💐
So beautiful! And it was so cool to see the first look at the extension!

That is a fun strategy!
Thank you for the delightful garden tour. 🌻🍄
You are welcome!
Haven't seen Freya in so long!!! Also loved the non English parts even if I didn't understand . Beautiful language!

Hi Guys, it’s me Dottie from Reno. I miss you so much. You are both a must see.
Your garden looks so great. Hello Dear Freija! x
I enjoy watching you both no matter the topic.
😍😍
Yes, please don’t cut that tree down!
The garden's looking lovely.
Thank you so much!
Im just amazed at your garden…its a lot of work so how do you do gardening and then all your crafts and traveling. Beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
The gardens in England are amazing,I visited there and was over whelmed with all the flowers and beauty….
They are very impressive.

Thank you for folowing our channel over the years!
I feel the same here in the east coast of us. My garden is on its July flowering plants and we are still in June.
Gorgeous plants I like getting out I n the garden found you channel through the last homely house , I've,been to Norway 🇳🇴 but years ago ! Loved it Kaye x

Your garden looks very pretty. I love the yellow and pink flowers, what are they.,they looked like something I haven’t seen before.

Maine seems much earlier here as well. Flowers are ahead.
The lake is beautiful. Native language pretty cool!
Love your videos. Hope your machine works. Love to got to see your garden it is very nice I really love it. Be safe and be Happy much peace and love.
You as well!
Thanks guys!! It’s Garden time! 😃👏🏼😂
It is the season!
It’s so beautiful. I want to walk down the path.
A lovely walk around your garden. I watched the video while in my campervan at a campsite near Lillehammer - so perhaps not far away! However the weather is now not so sunny and warm in Norway. Hope your new summer plants are OK.
That was close! We hope you had a nice visist in Lillehammer.
I love the little chandelier in the greenhouse❤.
Thank you, we maxe a few years ago and made a tutorial. ua-cam.com/video/cTZHIrI46HE/v-deo.htmlsi=M-WGTgOSnLN5QYhB and this one

Hah hah! Now you know how we all feel when we meet you. So genuine and real in real life!!!
🎉 Good morning from beautiful Northern Idaho USA! Lovely seeing you on this fine day. I love your chats and crafts. ❤
The garden is very beautiful and peaceful. We all need these quiet spaces around us
❤️😍
Hello arnecarlos
Beautiful garden. I do feel though that you should completely jet wash the brick paths to expose their beauty. No moss on them. Too treacherous. Moss is lovely on walls or boulders...💯🍻💞
I wonder where you find the time to do everything you accomplish. Just watch your back when you are weeding the pathway. I know from experience.
Dandelions are the yellow weed.
How beautiful are your surroundings! The lake surrounded by fir trees, the blue sky and the lovely garden around the house. It was a pleasure to see. Thanks!
Thanks for the tour! It’s amazing and frightening how much ahead of the usual schedule your garden is growing. At this rate you’ll have violets blooming in January!
The extension looks really nice across the Lake, I am sure that your neighbours will approve of it, it blends in lovely.
What a beautiful garden setting you have there! FYI -- sometimes your outdoor volume is quite low. I need to wear headphones to hear this and other outdoor episodes....I'm grateful that I have a solution ( and no, I do not have hearing issues 😉).
Thank you for your feedback, we will let Erik know.

To kill the weeds, salt is supposed to work better than vinegar. The best salt is the one used in winter on icy areas. It will kill good plants as well as weeds, so its best used in your gravel areas.
The yellow flowering weed.....is it a dandelion (dandy-lion)? I joke how that is the best flower bed I have ever grown! 😂
😍😍🤣
Yay Rob is out of hibernation 😊
🍀💞🌱💞🌸💞
