Hello, good afternoon, Cherie 🐶 will be very happy in this big and beautiful garden. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷.🎉❤😅
Happy Easter Alla & Sergi! It’s all starting to look fabulous and Cherie seems to love being in her new garden. Your videos make my day x
I have a suggestion for your new patio level you have created. You said, later you are going to build a wood wall instead of stone wall to hold the dirt. After you build the wood wall attach wooden boxes to the wood wall and plant a vegetable garden the boxes. you gardens are beautiful. Planting vegetables would benefit your family with food and the bees would love it also. Keep up the good work.
Maybe a little bird house for bird seeds…
Happy Easter! The garden is looking so happy! Alla, I think you must have learned your amazing gardening skills from your parents at their dacha! You have a real talent for design in the garden and the house! The blue paint….I did the exact same thing for one of my bedrooms…..mixed two shades and it was the perfect, pale blue. Cheers!
Beautiful Easter video, Alla, Sergi and Cherie!
Everything looks good. You both have done a lot. Inside and out. Wow, well done . Have a Happy Easter, God bless you three.
Cheri must be so happy to be with you all day now in her beautiful garden. I love the blue in the little bedroom.
Cherie's first time having her own garden/yard to run around in. Yeah!
Well Done Sergei🙂 everything is beautiful! So beautiful!
How about trying to burn out remaining unwanted roots, a fusee maybe would help burn root.
Your dog is soooooo cute.
So lovely seeing Cheri enjoying her future garden🥰
Your garden's are lovely. You guys are hard worker's and delightful to watch.
Happy Easter🐣🐇🐤🐥🎉

Disappointed here as well, tulips planted and no buds came up. I guess that just happens. Keep track of where they were purchased and not buy again. Choose other company. 😉
Cute shoes
Love this.
Congratulations on passing the 500,00 euro mark for your patreon account!
Happy belated Easter! It was a busy day yesterday for you in your garden. I really am enjoying your take back of the yard. I do have a suggestion for your terrace, I think a great name for your third terrace would be "Meditation garden"! I really , enjoy your Bog, thanks for all the hard work you do.
Thank you for sharing these lovely moments with us. I truly love watching you transform this home and garden. You are both so talented.
Happy Easter! The garden is looking fabulous! You've inspired me to do more planting in my garden. Today was the first warm day and I could bring in the plants that I wintered over! They are so happy as a I to be outside! I love the paint color you chose. All is coming along! Thanks for sharing. Love from Massachusetts💕
The woodland garden will be a cool refuge from the sun. I think a small
Pergola tucked down into it with a swinging seat for two hanging inside and wisteria growing over the top and sides..
You will find once your perennial garden is established in a year or two, you will need annuals and you can get heavy bloomers like asters, petunias , begonias, geraniums to name a few, to add continuous bloom, color and cut flowers for your vases. That will really add continuous interest. Also if you should choose you can grow very successfully from seed things like Zinnia, strawflowers, sunflowers and many more. We a little liquid fertilizer every couple weeks these plants will flower like crazy.
At end of stairs in back garden where neighbor has put ladder across, put up a 6-8 ft panel of fence that is not see through and one of your large terracotta pots with a climber in front. This will hold the fence and keep their dog from hopping over into your garden once he sees there is a dog in yours. Will also add privacy.
Amore Amore the gardens are a joy to behold Alla and Sergi well done the root is out new tree in perfecto Sergi😍👌Cheri such a sweetheart resting in her bed then patrolling the garden I’m going to love it here 💖The beams are amazing the colour you’ve chosen will be so stunning a work of art Alla always a pleasure everyday Im astounded and enchanted grazie mille my darkings💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟🌟
Happy Easter! He is risen!
Might be worth checking reviews on the various available paint options to find one that suits your budget but also goes on thick enough. Sometimes what you save on paint cost per tin gets lost when you need a lot more coats for coverage. Hopefully u can find something in between.
Happy Easter! I love watching Cherie in the garden , your beautiful garden. I love her little basket bed❤ The beams look wonderful. I can’t wait to see the guest room painted and really looking forward to when you paint the mural . Happy Easter ! Buona Pasqua !
Alla, love watching the progress you & Sergi are making. What is the room you are plastering and going to paint blue? Is it going to be your bedroom?❤
I love the 3 d texture of the wall in the corner bedroom… wish you would do a base coat of your blue , but wash over the high areas in a tiny bit lighter colour… just add a tiny bit of white.. randomly over the walls, then again the blue, but with a tiny bit more white, and distribute randomly between the other whiter top coat, on the raised areas not touched yet. Apply these top coats with a cloth and rub on livhtly.
