Lets celebrate nude gardening week replicating the idea with my wife who also has green thumbs .

By far the best thing I've seen through a Duck hatch

Beautiful, really is. You have made it into a lovely piece of heaven for you both.

Looks like a little bit of heaven 😊

Happy to see you found a slice of heaven canal side. Enjoy!

A pigeon paradise. Great selection of vegetables for the birdies!

What a terrific job you did with all that... the raised beds, the planters, not to mention the patio and deck. So fresh and trim looking . I found an unused raised bed planter in my neighbourhood, so it was radish (and nearly carrots to follow). The local PIA (don't ask !) has asked for flowers next year). Great to see your work

Excellent mooring ; will Fran have more time to bake, weave and edit videos , cooking videos ? i am looking forward to more british countryside mooring . Love the gardening content snd looking forward to produce cooking videos !!!! Will you get rosewood or make preserved with the rosehipd or dry them for tea. Thanks ! Could you make another deck and make it an outdoor kitchen ? have a fire pit maybe or a charcoal grill. ???
