The greenhouse is fantastic! I love the doors and you hoo window. All the gorgeous door fixtures. I want a chateau so much, my husband despises the idea. So, I live vicariously through all you lovely chateau Châtelaines. I’m blown away by the size of the ivy roots, they’re huge! The greenhouse is gonna need a bunch of shelves and pots. I can’t wait to see what you do! It’s so exciting seeing each area change. You guys are doing such a great job! The ivy is crazy! Glad to see you chopping away. I love pruning. ♥️🇫🇷🏰

Excellent idea sorting out the rubbish. I've seen Chateau owners revycle and reuse all kinds of stones they find for their walls, wood for pieces of wood that need bracing or renoing. Metal pieces from windows and doors can be reused when polished up. WONDERFUL. IDEA FOR ORIGINAL CHATEAU ITEMS. EXCELLENT😀

It must be hard deciding what projects you want to take on next, as I am sure you would like to do everything now!! I think that I would be running around in circles yelling “don’t panic!” if it was me! You have such great things to look forward to- it’s an exciting time for you, bringing this wonderful property back to life. Thanks for taking us along!🥰

My parents had a massive flower bed with dahlias of different sizes and colors, zinnias, gladiolus, some marigolds for their summer cutting garden. Then they had rose gardens with a couple hundred varieties of roses. Needless to say, our house had vases of flowers in every room. Their greenhouse helped with growing seedlings and storing the dahlia bulbs. My dad also used plexiglass as a substitute for broken glass panes by just screwing the sheets of plexiglass into the frames. I kept up the tradition of planting cutting gardens with my own twist of style, but to this day i have flowers all throughout my house. I can visualize the door being returned to the building. Every bit of cleanup and restoration makes such a huge difference. You are the best. xx

Good morning Patrick & Stuart, this is such a practical video, taking a break from the renovation, out in the garden, the best alternative! Love that little seedling room, I would remove the ceiling completely after fixing the roof and take out the window completely and build a new frame with new window panes, just saying. Imagine a window in the wall and door and looking out onto that new dahlia flower bed, Oh my goodness, that would be wonderful. I have a suggestion: visit Claus Dalby Welcome to my garden. It is so enjoyable, Claus seems like the perfect gardener!! He uses "dahlia cages" to keep the plants upright, believe me when it rains, they all bend over as they are heavy plants and some can even snap. If noting else, make yourselves these cages, you will be so glad you have gone to the extra cost and time to make these. Just trust me on this. Your dahlias are going to be stunning. Remember, as the tubers multiply, you can sell them to cover costs. I am so excited when I saw that box with the plants. Remember, prepare the soil, good drainage, very rich soil and feed those plants!, you will be so rewarded. I am so happy for you at the Chateaux, you have settled in so nicely and now things are starting to buzz. Try and buy some citrus, lemon a must as well as limes. You have so much space and these will reward you with very little labour. It all is hard work, but it is good for you, mind body and soul. Do take care, always be safe, your videos are so enjoyable, Why don't you remove that Boston ivy completely at the little potting room, plant some boxwood's and make a little hedge, it would look so cute! Remember, I am just saying, suggesting. Love all the doge together, they are just too gorgeous. Many blessing, Elize.

Spot on guys, Ivy kills buildings and trees doing a great job cutting it down. Will be good to open up the existing door you found.

So lovely and satisfying to see your new greenhouse clean up and especially the Boston Ivy eradication! I had a war with it at my first home and ended up pulling it out by the roots after repairing shutters it had destroyed, repointing bricks and redoing the parging. It is especially nice to see you pruning trees while I am still looking at snow! Well done guys!! Cheers!

Hi Guys...#PatrickvsTheIvy. You will never be bored at Chateau de Colombe. Yard work is a slog but so rewarding, and you never know what you'll discover! 🙂 While you're searching for the fence to protect the dahlias, I'm shopping for a hand truck to move heavy plant pots. Clever, back-saving idea. Jusqu'à vendredi...

Your videos are always so refreshing! Bon weekend!

Retired landscaper here ... I don't know if you have Round-up in France, perhaps you can find something equivalent but all you need is a tiny amount. (I buy the smallest bottle I can get and work from a baby food glass jar with a lid) - When you have cut the ivy stalk, separating it from its food source of the roots, with a Q-tip or small paint brush paint the full strength liquid on the cut part of the root, making sure you have coated the bark thoroughly. Roundup is a systemic herbicide so it gets absorbed into the plant and kills the roots. Hence this will rid the trees of the ivy without the chance of damaging any of the trees it has grown up on. BE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES!!! And eye protection would be a good idea, too, if you're a klutz. :] Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, I lived in France for 3 years so understand your challenges. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much. 😊💖💕

"A lot of holes with at bit of metal around" - love that comment 😄😄😄😄

Nice job finding the door after already finding the window. Patrick, you are like the energizer bunny! You really have stamina. I did see Stuart trimming as well. The green house is perfect once the windows are replaced, although with a southern exposure it may warm up nicely until you can get to that task. You both switched tasks, but I hardly consider it a break. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli

Isn’t that an amazing find? Never expected that. I try to keep going and am amazed how much I can get accomplished. 😊. Stuart does a lot but is often behind the camera. It is not fair but I’m so bay at camera work. Indeed, the southern exposure will help and we will use plexi😢until we have more time. Thank you so much. Hugs. ❤❤

Exciting to find a hidden door opening! That’s going to be amazing to step out through it onto your courtyard….imagine how many people from the past generations have crossed it’s threshold….❤❤
