Fab is right it has to cement in the swing
Aww fab your mum and dad are so great with the boys ❤ that garden centre was amazing. Ell have a great time at your mum and dads with Fab and the boys ❤
Great video the boys are growing up fast .💙💙
Can’t wait to see the finish of your garden.Fab your mum is a treasure and it’s easy to see why the boys love her. The boys are growing up quickly. Hope you had a great week with your dad Ell Thanks as always & take care. You guys are the best and so loving and kind to each other
Love your plans for the garden.Boys singing baby shark with Fab's Mom so adorable. Great video.❤❤❤❤
❤❤
Go for edible plants for the boys, and griw your own veggies in built up bed which the boys can help with. Just do a bit at a time. Keep real grass its healthier. Great video.
It takes time to make garden beautiful! Well done for doing it yourself
For sure! Will be worth it
I started watching part 1 renovation and I wanted to say that I love that you “clean as you go”!!
It really makes it appear you’ve done a lot when you take the time now and then to pick up and sweep and move rocks!!! Good job!
Love gardening. It’s going to look beautiful ❤
Thank's Jackie! 🥰
I absolve seeing the boys with your parents fab it puts a Huge smile on my face I love these vlogs about your daily life and fab your mum is fantastic
I am so excited to watch the garden transformation!! It’s going to look so amazing when it’s done🫶🏼
It’s going to look great - well done guys on starting the project 👍👍👍
Can't wait to get it finished!
With your grass at the back I would put down a shaded grass mix. Your also need to top dress it with compost to stop the birds. Recommend jacks magic compost. Seed it just before a wet spell as well. Will help it germinate else if it’s dry your have to get on it twice a day for 10 minutes watering it
You could lift all the patio up then get a sand layer down packed down and then relay the patio which be much cheaper and levelthe grass you could lift take all grass away and get AstroTurf easy to clean low maintenance stays green all year round
Good afternoon Fab and Ell from Texas. I think it's going to look fantastic
Hey!! Thank you so much x
@@fabandell you're welcome
Lunch looked great too 😊
Was reallyyyyy good 👌🏻
The grandparents are fabulous they love those boys in fact there's a strong resemblance between the boys and grandad love your videos your both very funny
I love how y’all think the boys are taking a nap and they are playing instead. 🤣 they will be little partners in crime against the two of you. I can’t wait to see your final plans for your garden and I hope there will be room for swings for the boys. The climbing roses will be beautiful. We grow them here in South Florida and they come in many different colors and varieties. Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida.😎🌴🐠🌴😎
I would run Sleepers all the way from the front of the shed to where the old flower bed is, along the back and put a divider in, left side flower bed, right side play area as that area will never grow grass, it will always die off, then fill the right side with play bark and keep the patio area where you was going to put the play area, also I wouldn't recommend laying porcelain over the top of the existing block paving
Great job! Thank you for the wonderful ideas for the garden, I hope I will be able to implement similar ones at home.
Glad we could provide some inspo
Great job on the garden! ❤😊 🎉
Thank you x
Love how brill your parents are with the boys Fab ❤ so much like mine are - always up for a laugh. So lovely to see
They are amazing with them!
Absolutely love the garden so far 👏🏼
Lot's of love all the way from SA🇿🇦❤
Thank you so much for the support! ❤
Your garden is going to look sick lol ❤❤❤ lavender is lovely but attracts bees be careful with boys xx
So happy with it already! Wait until you see next episode x
When we moved here the grass was in shade, landscaping co said it wouldn't do well in shady area so we put in astro turf, you can hoover it😂but i haven't yet!
Sorry Ell, I don't think the arch will ever be strong enough for a swing for the boys. But you can prove me wrong! Looking forward to seeing the finalised garden.
As ye a both great cooks..May put some herbs in a raised planter if ye have space..nothing like having them in your garden..can't wait to follow the renovations ❤❤❤❤
What do you have behind the green railings ? Love your huge garden , bet it will look lovely when you have finished it xx
Yesss🎉❤
As a local, I love that garden centre so much 😊
It’s the best!
Love your vidro
You need specific grass seed for shady area. Prepare soil by ruffing up with rake, top with top soil then with garden fork press lots of holes then seed, lightly cover with another layer of top soil and water every day
Great to know, thank you!!
Tree ferns are everywhere over here especially up in the tropics where im from up in Cairns in far northern Queensland … loving the plans for the sleepers and also the timber along the fence line… sorry Elle im with Fab when it come to the edging 👎
Another great vlog and omg those boys are bloody adorable 🥰 xx
That was a great looking iced coffee 👍
Tasted insane 😅
Please check that the boys are not allergic to the lavender first. My nana put some in her garden when I was around 4 and I ended up in hospital really poorly. I don't mean to scare but it's better safe than sorry, I still can't go near it, and I have to be careful with that fragrance is in soap, etc
Jet wash the patio , my son did his and it looks so much different
I had exactly that idea. We did ours, and it looked100% better
Reducing the height of the enormous hedge will benefit anything you do with the garden. Laying another patio on top of the existing bricks will not work, it will sink. Any decent builder would tell you this. A nice area with sand pit and play bark with activity slide would be great for your boys. What you really need is a tv garden makeover.
Fab your parents are so lovely such great grandparents I’m like that with my grandchildren there only small for a short time enjoy them .The garden will look lush when done xx
We are very lucky to have them! xx
Get a saucer web swing and just climbing gyms for them.
Elle, have you tried L-Lysine 1000mg for your cold sores, Holland & Barrett sell it and loads of people say it works wonders - stops them coming if you take it daily!
Definitely going to use your hello fresh discount code - thank you!
Doesn’t make sense to keep grass if you don’t look after it. Get Astro turf( it’ll be good for the kids too). That swing needs bolted in for safety reasons. Liked fabs idea of the sleepers. It takes a few years to get a garden looking good( especially doing it yourself) at the back you could do-raised area with planters, grow some veg( I’m sure the kids would love that too).
Great video I love going around garden centers! You persuaded us to use hello fresh, just wondering we signed up and used your code how do we get the free desert as when we try to click it you have to pay extra? 🙂
When you said you kild the bamboo that you planted in the front garden. You had a lucky escape as once bamboo will take over the garden and having to keep cutting it back
Yes agree with this. If not in secure pots and in the ground get rid! We've moved into a property and discovered they let bamboo grow which is under the decking. Going to cost alot to sort 😢
@@fundahassan2874 It's in pots at the front of the house
❤❤
How did you make your cap stay on your Fanta ? 😂 love it
Your early plans sound good but no matter how low maintenance you will still have to spend time weeding and watering.
what are sleepers???
Large pieces of wood!
Have you heard of garden on a roll? You look online see what design you like and they send u all the plants and they are numbered then you have this paper template which is degradable and it has the numbers on so you match up your plant with the number so you end up with a beautiful flower beds.
👍
Loving the garden plans so far. Definitely like the sleeper idea and will make it look more modern. Highly recommend lavender as that’s colourful, smells gorgeous and is super easy to maintain. Agree with Ell having shrubs too, lots of grasses etc would stay green all year round without the maintenance. Also roses are super colourful and easy to maintain too.
If you go for roses you could have one growing on the listed wall but just be mindful of its maintenance as you don’t want it damaging the wall further.
Definitely buy some black sheeting to go down on the gravel area if you haven’t already to stop weddings poking through in years to come. Although out of curiosity do you need the path to the shed to be that wide?
Robins are a sign of a loved one close by. ❤
If the grass doesn’t work, decking would be cool but it’s quite narrow.
Could you add sleepers and add plants to it instead of having the sleepers to the shed area?
If you’re going to modern then straight lines is the way to go. The sleepers will help with that.
The price of wood is expensive but you need to weigh up the price to do it yourself (your time especially with two boys) vs the labour costs of a company. Where you can I’d recommend paying for it to be completed as it allows your time to be spent on other things.
Yes you will get in trouble if you don’t look after the listed wall. Repointing will be good. Could add some mirrors in that space too along that wall to reflect light and add some further interest.
The raised play area bed with bark will be much cheaper for you to make and surprisingly won’t take too long. Will be an awesome space for the boys to play in which will be adaptable as they grow.
BBQ area is perfect, will be lovely to have furniture right outside too and it’s close to the kitchen too which is nice and convenient.
Patio flooring is a hard one. Will be costly due to the sheer size of replacement but you may find if it’s level enough that they can patio over the top. Movement wise should have completed by now. Usually movements within the first few years.
Can’t wait to see next vlog ❤
Wait until you see the next episode! Looks so good
Just buy some grass seed
Did you vote yesterday?
A mud kitchen, sand pit, rocks the twins can move about themselves, climbing frames and balancing beams. Forget swings - they’ll crack heads, and seem to always have a limited life - boredom sets in.
Just wondering if that wall is heritage listed and if its unsafe and you have it engineered checked and safety checked through ur local council, shouldn't it be removed not fixed? If u fix it than its not original. Just wondering if it can be legally removed due to it not being safe for your young family.
Grass won't survive at the fence because those trees steal all the moisture,also avoid bark because cats love to use it for a toilet😢
Sadly bricks will have to go
Watch for beautiful bushes and plants for toxicity ...I didn't and wish I had. Had to remove so much...and can't take back plants etc..just a FYI
Loving these videos!! First, I want to thank you for your advice a few months ago about sleep schedules for my twins. It was so helpful and they are now sleep champs! Ell, you are looking so fit and amazing! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what your training routine is? I have been trying to get my body back as much as I can after having my twins and I am struggling to find a training routine that works for me. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Am I the first to comment lol
Yes, Fab, your legs are fantastic!❤
Don’t bother with a swing as children get bored with it and you can go to a park instead. Climbing equipment is better .
This is utter rubbish 😂 we ALWAYS used our swing growing up and I know so many of my friends back then did too.
Yeah I think it depends on the child but it’s mainly a nice keepsake to remember our wedding ❤
@@fabandell I think it’s a great idea!
We had a basic swing which my boys liked but they would always pop over to our neighbours behind us to use their full sized one which was a massive hit.
We always returned the favour with having their kids over to play on our trampoline.
Swings are great fun.
Don’t keep the arch there , not a good look . Maybe bring the path straight down , leaves more garden for the boys ?
Hopefully you stick to real grass.Plastic grass is awful.
But the garden will look great when done
Are you guys having another baby 😊xxxxx
Arrgghhhh don’t get me started on “I’ll do it later” 🤦♀️ what is it with men?? My husband says it all the time and nothing bloody gets done and then i get the shits and do it myself! Then all you hear from him is “i told you id do it later aarrgghhhh 😂
Great video the boys are growing up fast .💙💙
