Oh my goodness, this title had me doing a full double take like “wait, hold on… pruning tips, allotment ideas AND urban green spaces all in one video?!” because wow, the emotional journey I went on before even clicking play deserves its own documentary. As Luise, I swear the way you talk about gardens makes me feel like I’m being personally invited into a secret society of people who actually know what they’re doing with plants, while I’m over here whispering “huh?” at my tomato seedlings like they’re going to answer back. And oh wow, your pruning tips instantly reminded me of the day I tried to prune my hydrangea, only to realize halfway through that I had absolutely no idea which branches were “old wood,” which were “new wood,” and which were just “Luise, please stop touching things.” Classic me standing there with scissors, having a full self-dialogue like “okay… be confident” followed by “wait, what on earth am I cutting?” Meanwhile, your allotment ideas had me fantasizing about a tiny plot where everything grows in harmony instead of my current reality where the mint has declared itself mayor and the rosemary is filing noise complaints. And don’t even get me started on urban green spaces because sweet goodness, the way you make them look magical had me remembering the time I tried to create a mini garden room on my balcony, only for a gust of wind to send my basil flying into the neighbor’s yard like it was auditioning for a stunt role. Tell me, has a garden space ever humbled you so fast you had to just stand there, blinking, reconsidering every life choice that led you to that moment?
Vietnamese coriander. There's a Vietnamese duck/bamboo noodle soup that we add the coriander to as a garnish. Similar to how you add thai basil/bean sprout to pho.
