Didn't know that you are Czech! Greetings from Poland 😀
beautiful growing in your family home ma'am
Lovely video and what a lovely chalupa and garden. I too have a home in the Czech Republic. I get a lot of seeds there to bring back to the UK. It's not so easy to get shrubs on to a plane!
Thank you for sharing your parents beautiful garden with us on Youtube! I'm inspired now to grow some gooseberries and some currants. My garden is only 4 years old but the trees are doing beautifully. So few people in the USA grow fruit trees in their gardens because they tend to be messy. I, on the other hand, only plant fruit trees in my garden because I want to enjoy the fruits! No brainer! Also, my chickens enjoy the fruits. Unfortunately, the squirrels enjoy the fruits a bit too much! Have a great day!
Howdy from Texas. It looks beautiful in your parents orchard/garden. So many varieties just boggle my mind. Thanks for sharing. You are a great tour guide.
Beautiful place,so peaceful !
i couldn't tell you are Czech, your accent is so Dutch (in a good way)! Greetings from Moravia
Just found your channel and spent the last 24 hours watching all your videos…subscribed xxx
Nice fruit trees
Subbed👍🏼
have to ask, what do you do with all the quince!! i started making quince leather, and tried making quince jelly (which didn't jell, not a problem since i dont' like jelly anyways, so i used it as syrup), but i'm a single person, once a quince tree takes hold, it is unstoppable! what the heck do you do with all the fruit? it pretty much has to be processed…
Vera, how nice that your parents had such a special place to garden! Good experience for later in life!… later in life, we are the same age, and gardening really helps keep me fit and feeling young! Dank ja voor de video!!
Thank you for the tour. Really interesting berry varieties – I am not sure if we can even get them here in the U.S. Very enjoyable video!
It made me miss my home country 😉 I hope once to live in a place like this!
Beautiful garden and a nice video Vera!
Living in Europe sounds fun.did y drive to ur parents place? So basically u guys can drive to other countries. So cool
I stumbled on this and could not break away from it. So interesting and you did a good job. So Jealous. You gave so much information.
Beautifull! Greetings from Chile.
Hi🌞what a gorgeous property and garden. Your English is fantastic 🐝
Very nice, I have clove currant and black lace which I haven't tried the berries but this year they have fruit. I've read black lace is one of the better eating Elderberry so curious to try that and it looks very ornamental as well
What a paradise!
brilliant video. you are so knowledgable
This is lovely! I would love a more in-depth video/blog post about the welsh onions. I've just sown some seeds in the ground and a pot so some growing tips would be interesting
Hi Vera. When staying in Prague I used to buy blue small grapes from the farmers market. I think they were grown in the Czech Republic as I could buy them from every seller there. They had a special taste I didn't know before. When you put them in your mouth they were like candy, with the fruit flesh and the firm skin easily got seperated from each other. I was told by a friend that she knew those grapes also from Bosnia. I would love to grow this variety in my garden. Can you help me with its name?
I love Yellow Transparent apples. They make the best applesauce.
Can you do a propagation video? You mention in this video that you took cuttings from your berry bushes in this video. Any tips?
Greetings from the northeast of Portugal. I really loved this video. It reminds of what I tend to do in my parents' garden myself. You mention other videos about your parents' garden. Are they available?
Oh wow, they're home is just beautiful, very peaceful 🙂 God's blessings to you and your family
The garden is beautiful but the house is amazing. I wish I lived somewhere where it rains year round. Everything is so green there. Thank you for sharing.
I like your garden . I am worked any garden . please call me 01791989853
