Preparing our simple cottage garden for summer
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Spring is finally here at our cottage in Norway and we are celebrating it by refreshing our simple cottage garden with some new flowers and tidying it up! This garden is still at the early stages in many ways, but we are moving closer to the goal each year, so I felt like it would be nice to show you where we are at in the journey.

We call the zucchini courgettis in England, and I love them. Such joy buying new plants for your garden. I LOVE your beautiful cat. What fantastic views you have of the snow capped mountains, on your way to the garden center. xxx
Beautiful scenery - the mountains, your gardening projects, and, of course, the cats. Your trip to the gardening center was fun, and clips of Japan would also be most welcome. Thank you for the peek into your day-to-day activities.
Such a pretty , quaint and charming place to live . You are so so lucky !! ❤
You made a really beautiful and calming video. You guys have a wonderful house and a whimsical garden. And of course the roads gliding between the mountains always amaze me in Norway. Hopefully will be visiting soon! ❤
Spring at last! It's nice to see the seasons in other regions, but I would love to see and hear about Japan as well! And I am looking forward to another tour of your garden later in summer....
It is so beautiful there in your mountains. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks
Lovely video! Loved all your gardens in the yard around the house! Especially your 'Secret Garden'! I for one would love to see some of Bendik's videos from Japan! Watching from Illinois in the U.S.A ❤
Garden Centre, or Nursery is what we call it in the uk lol... great vid. With the vegtable garden try putting as much organic matter as you can on it, bark chip is really good, it wont happen straight away but it will make heavy clay soil a lot lighter and compost like. A small compost heap to put all those fallen leaves in and once it's rotted down would be great for the veg patch too.
I see this italian style lattice wall or panel in your balcony, so you can reduce strength of the wind and the sun, and grow some climbing plant on it :)
In Australia we call a place where you can buy lots of plants and trees a Nursery. Love your countryside.

And in Canada we call them Garden Centres.
You're both an inspiration! Love you!
Wonderful to see you both looking so happy and uplifted by the Spring :) Would love to see more of B's time in Japan, but only if you have time and the inclination, obvs. Interesting to see the buildings near you painted the same 'rural red' as here in Aotearoa New Zealand, maybe it's a calming colour for cattle? Zucchinis / courgettes? Beautiful cinematography, as ever. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Hope you get basketsful of delicious vegetables. X

I love these huge birches! We have one at my family home too
Hello again ☺. Just a thought 🤔. A small fine mist water spray is ideal for watering tiny seedlings. Also opening the compost bags from the top means you can recycle the bags for rubbish (waste). And the bulbs you were dividing were daffodils? Not lilies 🤔. Well at least in the UK anyway .. Sending love, light & Summer blessings to you both and the Kits 🐈🐱🐞🌹🐝🌻 xx

Thank you for the comment about the daffodils! In Norway we call them Påskelilje, which directly translated is Easter lily 😂 so I was certain that was the name, but that was wrong. At least now I know 🤣
I was so happy to see you have daffodils and also some tulips! our Spring is past now and it is like looking back at the past season where everything makes a beginning. Our April was so cold yet it didn't stop Spring from arriving in the garden as everything kept growing and so fast! We call the place you buy flowers A Garden Centre or a Nursery. Great to see the cats looking so well! Yes to clips of Japan! Greetings from Scotland Caroline
Loved this video, the process, the digging, planting, showing all the flower beds you guys have made. I love that. Great job!
Dere er flinke Håper å få se hvor frodig det blir etter hvert...👍

Takk! Håper det blir fint så vi har noe å vise!
The countryside is so green and lovely. I was glad to come along with you to beautify your garden. I also agree the joy is in the journey.💚
Thank you.
Så mange vakre blomster! So lovely to see spring coming to Norway, also! I enjoyed your drive, showing the snow-capped mountains! I have always loved gardening, and it was great spending a few days here, also, organizing my garden. Mostly where I live we are on bedrock, so not much soil, but I find every square inch that I can, and even have a small veggie garden. Yes, please, let us see more of Bendik's Japan trip. It was interesting what you showed us, Maria. I would love to see more. Today was a beautiful day here. I envy you being able to be outdoors wearing shorts. Here I have to almost were body armour because the bugs bite so much. But today they weren't so bad. 👍 Enjoy spring! Hilsen fra Canada! 🇨🇦
As always, your video is very good from beginning to end, even better with Bendik's presence. That place in your backyard that he called his hideout is sensational, because you have an incredible view to see the sunset and the stars. That blue flower you planted reminded me of the one in your last video where you and your friends were in a park or forest.
You live in such a beautiful landscape! The mountains are breathtaking. We visited there years ago. Yes, would love to see more of Bendik’s Japan trip and his art work! Thank you Maria for another perfect video❣️🌱🌸
🌸 yes, clips from Japan would be awesome 🌸 in Dutch you would call it a 'kwekerij' where you buy all the plants 🌸 a real treat that you brought us along on your day, showing the garden, and the beautiful environment where you live 🌸 we had some gorgeous weather too before this week, but now it is cold is and rainy again, but better weather is on the way 😊
😍😍great job with your garden!!!
