See How we Celebrate the New Season on our Cosy Narrowboat
Without a doubt, late spring is one of the best times to live on a narrowboat. This week, we're celebrating the season with some home cooked food using the first pickings from our on board herb garden. Plus, we're getting to grips with our outside space and giving everything a much needed spring spruce.

See you soon,

Jack - Am happy to give you a hand doing the website. Nothing in return, just happy to help.
Oh that’s what I do, chop up veg with one for the pot, and one for me as I go along. I love raw veg. Oooooh Jack, another redhead here, watch it buddy 🫢🤣🤣a tub of cheap vaseline spread at the top of pots can help to stop the pesky snails climbing up.
You guys are just what I needed after a very tough day at work. Thank you so much for another delightfully relaxing video. ❤Bless the four of you x
Iff you use shingle on the beds and around them it will help with the snails and slugs as the sharp edges hurt their foot and they won't cross over it eggs shells around base of plants works as well

They glide over the shingle in my garden no trouble at all unfortunately. I've marked snails & removed them from areas of the garden & they've turned up back in the same place after crossing the shingle.

Hi Jack & Gabby just want to say I’ve been watching your videos from the start and love every one! Your content is so wholesome, beautiful and relaxing I love it! I know you use kofi but have you considered setting up a Patreon? I like using it as a way to support some of my favourite creators, for me personally (I know this might not be the case for everyone) but that’s more important to me than any extras ☺️
Me and my mum absolutely love watching all your videos. Keep up the good work guys, its much appreciated! 😊
Sorry to say, copper tape is a waste of time and money, yes I have tried it. Good luck with the green house, water and feed the tomatoes and you should have a good crop. You can never have too many tomatoes, later in the season when they've stopped ripening, make green tomatoe chutney.
There is great satisfaction in growing some of your own veg. Well done with the seedlings. Thank you.
Thanks!

Wonderful spring footage! I also use the copper tape around my large pots. Now and then it does not work, as I find a slug very nicely sitting between my plants 😂
Danke!

They dont like crawling over salt too.
I love watching your videos. I have some advice although it may come too late. You should never be quiet for a sleeping baby. Inutero is very noisy and they are use to that. I think the quiet is what wakes them. I use to vacuum and use washer and and dryer and she slept through it all. Maybe give it a try.
It's so great to see your enthusiasm and love for growing things 🙏😍. Keep up the good work and well done for the tidy up around your boat... looks fab 👍💖
Love watching you two making it work on the canals!❤

Isn't it so satisfying!!
I’ve just got up to date with your videos. It’s been a real joy to see how you’ve progressed from starting your work on Arti, having Jo, and developing your allotment. Be reassured that your problem with slugs and snails is not unique. This year has been exceptionally bad for them! I’m so impressed with the quality of your Vlogs, but often wonder how much more you could get done it you didn’t have all of the work preparing the shots and editing. I’m so glad that you do though 😊

Lovely vlog and the recipe looked delicious so please please do more as everything you make looks delicious. The boat is looking so nice surrounded by all the greenery of the canal , definitely one of the prettiest 💚 your allotment is coming on great and you can really tell how much you love it x

Thanks so much for your lovely comment!!! We do blend in with the towpath and hedgerow now it's all back to life!! We're so happy with the allotment, feel very privileged to have our own little patch!
Heat and sunshine ? when was that ? I must have missed it !
If you think you're going to keep the allotment going for a few years, then really worth planting asparagus. Eating fresh picked asparagus is amazing!

We do LOVE asparagus, and getting treated to our friends' homegrown batch each year so you're definitely right in we should plant our own!
Great job 👏
I think your recipes are great always very fresh and flavorful ideas. Have you thought about making an ebook. I'm sure it would be popular as your cooking is elevated and evolving. I would make a purchase!
Wow, that risotto, OMG, just gorgeous. Love your cooking, and your legs aren't bad either 😅 Such a lovely family, you are all great.

If you put out a damp board, propped up a little, snails and slugs will congregate under the board. Then you can dispose of them as you choose.

I did find a single spear last year whilst away by the coast... It's most likely to be from a seed that's spread from someone's garden though!
You need to put a smLl face cloth where his mouth touches czrrier, that way catches spit up and drool
Do you ever want to float off somewhere else?
