Phillip, we ALL hide our 6 pack abs under a layer of blubber! You are hysterical!
I'm sorry to everyone else involved in this channel but Anna's father is by far my favourite
What a wonderful, sweet, hardworking dad he is! ❤️
+1!!!!
came to say the same thing! What a gem
He and Anna are so similar‼️ Awesome “familness”, cus mom looks pretty cool too 💕
I'm new to this show, but look forward to seeing him on an upcoming episode. !
My dream has been to live in a French chateau. Your amount of yard work makes me change my mind. I’ll just enjoy watching you
Philipp’s 6-pack comment cracked me up, and I loved the humming to the Game of Thrones theme song. Anna’s parents are such special people! What a lovely episode ❤
It’s so great to have un-hired help. The wonders of grandparents!!
Anna’s dad is a natural on camera. He’s fit for the role!!
Parents are diamonds when the pressure is on so nice your parents could come over Anna. Great work in the garden, loved the two men congratulating each other when they finally had the chopper going.
Hi there from New Zealand! Just a quick tip for you when putting garden waste/mulch etc into the the trailer. Put a large tarpaulin/plastic sheet into the trailer on the bottom with enough hanging out to get hold of. Then when your trailer is full grab the plastic and pull. The whole contents will slide out!!! This only works for dry or light stuff. It is much harder with wet stuff🤪🐕🤪🐕🤪
We do that method also. Works slick…
Kiwi ingenuity !! 👏 from fellow Kiwi x 😊
We survived a derecho 2 yrs ago. Our city lost 60% of our trees. We have planted a couple this year knowing they will not reach their full glory in our lifetime. (In our 70s) I hope the next generation can enjoy them.
What a beautiful sentiment! Thank you for sharing! 💛
👏
what a lovely gift for future generations
"I hide my 6-pack under a protective layer of blubber." Hahaha!
Whether you live in a city or in the rural area… always great to make friends with good neighbours ❤
I love Anna's dad ..he is so unaffected and natural when videoed..Great father and father in law!
Thanks for helping Anna and Philip. Parents are the greatest…..
Jerome is yet another treasure! It is so wonderful to see the people who surround and support you. 🥰
Phillip you are quite amusing..love you sense of humor
I absolutely love germinating variable tree seeds and planting them. Your garden will be stunning in 30 years because of your stirling efforts now💞👏💞🥳
I hope so too!
When we lived on acreage and planted trees -hedges etc we then had a very long drought. So someone suggested that if we put a piece of plastic piping into the hole next to the root ball, and then you only had to put water into the pipe. Now that was many years ago when we lived in a hot climate and had very little rain if any at times. Or you got a deluge They survived. We have since moved to a cooler climate and still have very dry times and when our daughter started her new garden, we told her to try this method and she is very happy, because she can save water this way. It is only a suggestion for your trees. Loving what you all do.
Yep I'm a permaculturist and that's absolutely true about wood chips. Placing them on top is great just don't dig them in. Such beautiful trees you guys!
Good to know. Cheers 😁👍🏻
I'm an avid gardener and tree lover, so this episode made me very very happy. Mmm and all that mulchy organic matter you created with the chipper, so satisfying to watch. Must smell amazing too! Birches are a noble species, and their silver leaves are lovely in the breeze.
I wish you healthy and happy trees ☺️
My Dad brought me horse manure and it nearly killed all my garden. Horses do not digest all they eat like a cow. That's why cow manure is great. Chicken is good too but very strong and needs to be mixed with other mulching material before being added into soil. You guys are doing so well and I so enjoy your vlogs.
Let's all buy Phillip a pickup truck. Easy for me to say here in Las Cruces, New Mexico USA. I'm an avid fan of this channel, thank you Anna and Phillip.

Hi Anna and Phillipp, the trees are going to be a nice addition to the garden. It's nice to have your parents around for help, and grandparents are a gift to the children. Can't wait until next week to see them planted. Well done. Love from N.Y.
You have such a wonderful neighbour who is so helpful....what a blessing!! You did a great job on the clearing and clean up....isn't it nice to have such wonderful parents who enjoy helping out. Looking good!!
Well, don't ALL neighbors like to see a rundown place in their neighbor fixed up? Plus, THIS one is on youtube!
Thank God for good neighbors!!!
Timelapse makes it look so easy peasy, while in reality it must be lots of toil. Bravo, the two of you!
Omg Philip and his six pack hiding under blubber! Hysterical . Sorry ladies he’s taken! Ha!
So much help from Anna´s father! 👍
Philip, thanks for not making the rest of us look bad by using your enormous musculature to move the trees by hand. We appreciate you also not taking the chance at depriving us of your input to these videos should you have pulled your back moving the trees by hand. You really do care about the viewing public. Cheers!
Copper beech trees will get 4-5 feet or more in width for the base trunk They need a lot of room. Very majestic in appearance. Actually a focal point of a lawn.
Do you have ice storms? A beech will bend. At least the ones here. Beautiful bark. The bark had historical use as well.
A thuja giant hedge tree is a good evergreen for privacy.
Happy planting. 🌲🌲🌲
I’m dying to see the trees on their places . What a joy to develop your garden , and the children will have even more delightful places to mess about in .you must feel very satisfied with your clean up,and I just love your wood chopper . Great fun .
I love your heart shaped front lawn ❤️
Who is the least helpful? That was hysterical. Glad your neighbor was able to help. So nice Anna that your parents are visiting.
Always appreciate the self deprecating humour!
FYI it is hard to over water newly transplanted trees!! Per my student job in forestry service when I returned to university n my ‘old age’
Well done Jerome, Merci!
Grandparents are such a blessing!!!
So nice to see your parents and the girls...💞💖😎😊🇨🇦
Hooray for kind and helpful neighbors ❤
The music choices in this Chanel are so refreshing and fun!!! Great editing as usual!
Looking forward to seeing everything planted and blossom! Wonderful to see Anna's parents again! Great video!
So glad your parents are there to help. They're incredible.
Just a thought. If you put a large tarp (tarpaulin) on the bottom of the trailer floor and then put the chips on, you could then just pull on the tarp to unload. Weave a rope loosely through the grommets to act as handles to help pull the tarp with two people or have 1 person hold the rope and the other drive slowly forwards.
Quick tip to help in unloading Mulch from a trailer. Put down a large tarp and just slide the mulch off and keep rolling the tarp over it to free the tarp. The Chateau is looking great, and I cannot wait to see it blossom in spring.
Thanks for the tip!
I love Philipp in the garden videos. They are almost as good as Philipp and Benoit videos. I missed Philipp and his woodcutting, wood-chopping, garage-machinery and awesome overalls.
Glad you like them!
So lovely to have family help. Your dad is still very strong and agile of mind and body. Great job folks❤
"My six pack is hiding under a protective layer of blubber." Phillip had me rolling on the floor laughing.
BTW, putting wood chips/leaves and manure against the roots of a plant should kill the plant. The wood chips/leaves and manure are creating compost. That process creates a lot of heat and would likely kill a plant. It is best to have a separate compost pile that you "harvest" for new plantings.
You can add some Bonemeal to your freshly chopped mulch. It helps break it down faster.
I'm tired of studying! It's nice to take a break and watch your guys' videos'. Lovely to see Anna's parents again. It's always nice to see either parents there visiting and sharing moments with one another. Hope we see Phillip's mom soon💖. Thank you for sharing another great video with all of us.
I could watch this channel all night it’s so good x
My gawd your father keeps up with Phillip! Well done. I’m about your parents age. I’d need a break. And FYI. being a Witch is not a bad thing.
Hi Phillip, you are so lucky to have Anna's father there to help you with the new trees & of course your neighbor helping with his big machinery to lift the trees up off the truck. Make sure you don't put the new mulch around the trees as the mulch is still green. My Mama always made a little moat around the new trees with seasoned mulch to make a place to put the water so the trees will get plenty of water without the water running off away from the trees. I wouldn't put manure or fertilizer around the new trees until they are established, you can buy something at the store for newly planted trees to help stimulate the roots though. Hugs to the girls & Anna Kathy USA
How exciting! I always hate to see your vlogs end...18 minutes is not long enough!!!! Phillip I thought you were just going to do ¨donuts¨ with the mower! lol I look forward to seeing the new trees being planted next weekend! Enjoy your time with grandparents there!
I second this! 18 mins went by too quickly!
I love new trees! When my husband and I are gardening, our son provides the cups of tea! Absolutely essential. 💓
Gorgeous trees 🌲🌳 🌲🌳
Love mum and dad! And love that misty crispy climate! No wonder you thrive. OMG Ziggy is just gorgeous, what a beauty!
I just did this, too. Hired tree guys dropped a huge red oak and 3 scotch pines, plus ground down 11 stumps. Just planted 30 acorns from the red oak in hopes it will live again. I often find practical men like Jerome are wonderful problem solvers. Does anyone else think that last musical choice sounds a bit Pink Pantherish? Any minute Clouseau will pop out from behind a tree...
The last music choice sounded more like Austin Powers. yeah, baby, yeah!😂
The 60s batman tv show?😁👍🏻
You are a work horse Grandfather!
I love the idea of your coloured bark area. Well, I would. This is just what I've done at the end of my garden! Silver birch trees, surrounded by a swathe of green-stemmed cornus in the back, then shorter orange-stemmed and finally red-stemmed cornus in the front. The idea is inspired by the appearance of a great big fire. When the winter sun shines, lighting the whole area it looks stunning. (Well, I think so)! I love hearing about your garden.
Sounds great!
Order you the tree watering bags that you fill up with water and it slowly seeps out to water your trees. Invest in a water tank that you can fill up and pull around and water plants around your yard. I have a 30 gallon tank that I put on my golf cart and use as needed.
It is nice to have good neighbours with the right equipment.
I always find myself wishing your videos were just a bit longer. I never want them to end! Love watching every moment. 🙂♥
Gotta love a guy who aces his “statue pose!” Such an enjoyable video, as always. Thank you!
Anna's parents are the sweetest...
Just adore these vids- "Oh. It's going to be a two part reveal...."I 🤣
Just unbelievable! What an amount of work done in a day. Was surprised by the trees lifting but hey it works. Just the right period to plant and Anna s! father is just as good as Philipp in his machine coordination just more experienced. Lots of wood for the fire places and for the garden soil. One more well done task! Chapeau bas!!!!!
Groovy music! It is nice to have a channel that doesn’t use the same music as everyone else and it enhances the quality of the video.
Great work in the park! While i understand that you take down large dead trees, please leave some smaller dead trees for the birds to build caves. They urgently need those dead trees since many birds can't build nests otherwise. Thank you! Oh, and the moment you said "this is the bark area" - Ziggy immediately responds and …barks. What a well trained young dog! Rare nowadays.
Yes- dead trees are an integral part of the life cycle of the woods- for both flora (fungi) & fauna.
I am mighty relieved to observe you mulching and converting brush, trees to mulch. So few nowadays comprehend the vital ecological and financial values of using these carbon resources properly. Most are so stupid as to burn them! 😲😳
I love this guy, elegant speech pattern, great sense of humor...yeah! He's a keeper!!
It's Great To Have Family, Especially A Father Who Has The Knowledge And Enjoyment Of A Good Well Planted Garden ...
Can't Wait To See The End Result Of Your Hard Work ..
Keep Doing What Your Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Amazing !!!
Nice chipper! It is so nice to have parents who come help. Looks like great gardening weather. I look forward to seeing the results of all the hard work.
Great garden cleanup and replanting! SO great to have grandparents staying for a while to help with kiddos and just have a good chat!!! I do love that wood-chipper! So satisfying and great to make your own mulch instead of filling the tip with green matter! Prayer for a wet spring and summer. My dad would always plant a pvc plumbing pipe into the ground by the trees to reach the roots. He would then just stick a garden hose into the pvc pipe and the water would go straight to the roots. It worked well with our hot Oklahoma summers! Cheers!
Great progress and so exciting that you're setting the woodlands up for another century or two or three. Nice to see your parents, Anna. Philipp and your dad are a great team.
Nice to have parents around to help out and all you need to do is feed them!!! Good people!
For protecting trees from deer browsing - get a large role of wire reinforcing mesh for concrete radiant floors. Usually the mesh is 6 x 6 inch and about 4 feet wide (sorry not metric - 15 x 15 cm grid and 1.2 m wide). Make a cylinder to surround each tree so branches are within the mesh or extend above the top edge. Cut so one end has open squares so you can make hooks from the open ends to hold the cylinder closed. Deer will not put their heads through the mesh because they worry about getting stuck. Sounds unlikely but it works. European deer are smaller than American deer, so you might downsize the mesh slightly. Benefit is that the reinforcing mesh is not horribly expensive, the cylinders are easy to make and the steel used in them is uncoated so surface turns a nice warm brown that nearly disappears in the landscape. And it is reusable. Once the tree gets large enough to withstand the occasional browse, remove the cylinder, unroll and store flat for the next batch of plantings. Also works well as fencing around edible gardens for keeping out large browsers. We have incredible deer browse problems here, and this is the only way to get any large plant past the seedling/sapling stage without the deer killing it. Good luck!
thanks for the tip!
Lots of clearing but the new trees will really make a beautiful addition to the property!
It’s so rewarding to work in the garden. Having helpers makes the work more fun. Anna’s parents are such lovely people and her Dad gives good advice. The trees will be beautiful. Have fun!! xx
I adore copper beeches! Since moving, my climate is now too warm. 😢 it will be majestic in your park!
Great job you are all working so hard your making me exhausted 😆 Great job awesome video
It’s going to look amazing!!
Philip really, hiding your sixpack under a protective layer of blubber... WHOOAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣. And marvelous work in the garden!!!! Mes compliments!!
I love your music!
Philipp, I know you enjoy working outside. I love attending to our 43 acres as well.
Fun video! 👍
Like a lot your viewers, we are also getting started on our garden for the upcoming season, so this video is very relatable.
(on a much smaller scale though!)
I also use the blubber protection strategy for my abs in winter , & spring, & summer... Works every time!! 😃
As usual, very entertaining, I loved it. The hornbeam tree is beautiful the trunk is divine.
Best dad ever
Your tree planting scheme is probably much more complex than you have said. While it seems that all those wonderful new trees are going to beautify the boundary, it might only be in summer as they all appear to be deciduous and will not provide privacy in autumn winter and spring from whatever might be built next door. A second barrier of evergreen trees will provide year round privacy , some added protection from prevailing wind and be a sound barrier as well. Trees like copper beech will grow to have single mature stems and in a few years the initial privacy will disappear when the leaf canopy starts 15 feet from the ground. You don’t do things by half measures, so maybe you already have plans for hedges etc.
Congratulations on the squarespace sponsorship!! It made me pause to look at your subscriber count, you're well over 350k, congratulations!!!! So excited for you both to see your channel growing like this!
Thank you so much!!
Anna's dad accent... What? LOVE IT 💕
Truly appreciate the amount of thought you both give to the design function & aesthetic of your property inside and out. Can’t wait to see what trees you’ve chosen!
It was really nice to have a vlog that wasn't mostly time-lapse, this one was really interesting to watch
Phillip - you need a leaf rake! 🧑🏼🌾
The garden and trees are going to be beautiful.
There's a product here in Australia called Urea fertiliser (not sure if you can get it in France!) If you put that down under green mulch it helps to keep the nitrogen in the soil under green mulch. Here it has 46% nitrogen in it.
Another funny and interesting vlog. So nice to have helpful neighbors and parents. Looking forward to seeing the landscape take place. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Anna your parents are a dream. The trees look fabulous. Hope you will show them off often as they establish themselves.
New trees are exciting! Best of luck with them! Glad you have your family visiting and helping.
Your inspired choices of music always make me smile (or giggle.) : )
Phillip, you have such a good narrative voice and good sense of humor! And great music this episode!
Anna and Phillip you both have such wonderful fun loving parents! Always ready to jump in and help. I have to say matter what your content - I love watching it. ❤
Congratulations!!
Los padres de Ana son un amor !!!
Wonderful vlog and so good to see your parents back again. Nothing like having family to help.
It was so cute that every time you said bark, Phillip, Ziggy barked
