The ugly truth | Our garden is dead

Published 2024-02-15
February is probably the ugliest month in our area, weather wise. Winter is almost over, but it's not quite spring yet. Come see what our property and garden look like at this time of year. We promise we'll still try to find some nice things as well :)

  • Love the strudel, stay warm..spring really isn’t that far away😊 Looking forward to see what Tommy and Peter are planting in their garden this year❤
  • @ronsmith2241
    Thanks for this latest video. The way you continue to produce plants in the garden even in February is amazing. Its autumn (fall) here in Australia now and our winter will come mid year. No snow here though. We received 609ml of rain In January and more last night. Most unusual but the dams are filling and overflowing. Hugs to you both.

    🇲🇽👋Saludos de Mexico. The winter garden tour is quite interesting. So many surprises in what looks barren. And of course Peter in the kitchen. 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳 We love Tommy and Peter. 💕

    You guys are so ambitious with all you have going on. The strudel looked wonderful and your wine was interesting. I enjoy watching you as your lives seem so simple compared to the younger generation in America. My parents came from Europe and the UK so I was spoiled with all the wonderful food my Mother & Dad made.
  • After a hectic day, at work. What a lovely surprise to find your newest video post. I'm glad to see you guys are keeping well. Stay warm!❤

    When I read the title I thought if only they have some witch hazel...and you did! One of the few winter blooming plants. Thanks for the relaxing country home visit.
  • @neillawson2578
    My advice for the repair is to remove all plaster and add cement board, that won't draw water, and plaster over that. Congrats on your lovely dessert. :)

    Gosh, I went through most of the video thinking that hole was for some random dead body that appeared in the pig styes 😮. I really enjoyed the comedy show. You were so cute with the sage. I’m looking forward to seeing how much the hedge has grown in 5ish years. ❤❤
  • @johnk2668
    We have lots of Snowdrops and Crocus in flower here in England.
  • @HossMan48
    You can save the squash seeds and plant them or toast them with a little oil and salt for eating. So good to see you both again.😀😍
  • @jeangenie1240
    I like it when you share with us what you don't know!

    Just when I needed a dose of T&P…up one popped! Lovely. You brightened my day by showing that even in ugly February beauty can be found all around, tucked away in corners of nature. Really liking Peter’s new-ish haircut, it suits you. 😀 However, (😉) one pronounces these two plants as “strorbriz’ and ‘baz’l’. By now you know I’m a stickler for these matters, boys! As for that hole that Tommy was digging…I was getting worried for poor Peter’s future. Such relief when its actual use was revealed! Looking forward to next time. Greetings from your pal in Ireland, Stefan x
  • So absolutely lovely to have a new video from T&P ❤ My favourite flower is a snowdrop. So simple yet such beauty in winter bitten environments. Such a joy to see them in your garden. Such a good idea to build a pond. I would love one but we have so many frogs here. Two years ago it was like a biblical plague...and I'm a little stupidly scared by frogs lol. I couldn't bring myself to go to the bottom of the garden in the dark 😮...I fear a pond will attract all the frogs in the area 😂 I think I need to try to make your apple strudel soon. It looked delicious....but the squash saw made me laugh Peter! 😂😂

    Hello chaps , Yes! your garden looks like it's lacks plants that could keep it looking inviting during the winter months , I'm surprised that you don't have a host of different evergreens in your large garden ,such as laurels : red Robin which adds vibrant colour , then there is buberi which comes in many charming shades , holly also has many varieties, Love your recipes, you always seem to be so happy on cam , and live cosy lives ,
  • @user-jb1ng2yz1j
    Those oven gloves are very snazzy ! Don't forget to make sure that the baking tray is not too hot next time. But, I do think that you should have custard with the strudel 😆
  • @BeingBoringx2
    Ah the most necessary of kitchen tools - The Hacksaw! 😆
  • @ronroach5623
    6 weeks or so and the garden will be alive. Can't wait to see it. We have ugly Febs here as well in Arizona in the mountains.
  • @richardsilver98
    Hello guys. Well, it might make you feel somewhat better about your 'ugly February' to know that it isnt such a great month here in Australia either! Its the end of our summer and do things are mostly hot, dry and brown, with there being an ever-present danger of bushfire. To be fair, our summer here in South Eastern Australia has been mild (again) but we still have hot and horrid days. Today was one, actually. Look forward to seeing how your little pond comes along. I have a video somewhere on my channel of a pond we made a few years back, which we still have. Probably about same size as one you are creating too. Its a great addition. 😊
  • @dudleyhall5217
    You guys do such a nice job with your garden that I need to invite you to my place in the USA to help me 😊! You would just need to bring some strudel with you. The ending was nice with Tommy saying y’all had to return to the city and then he turns off the light and closes the door. Pretty cool.
