Transformed! The Start of Something BIG in Our FRENCH CHATEAU Garden + Cottage Update

It finally hit me how you guys are funding the cottage restoration project...clearly, Lincoln is a model for the front cover of romance novels.

One of the things I love about your channel is that we never know what you will be up to, it’s always a surprise! Great photography!

There are many beautiful chateaus, but yours is surrounded by the most beautiful property and, it seems, not near to any noisy highways. I love that you give so much time to your beautiful grounds and gardens. They truly are just as important to the beauty of your property as the chateau itself.

The dogs are just living the life, prancing around as you both work so hard. And the cats watch intently from a distance. The garden is going to be beautiful.

The family with a cat in every window will have a beautiful walled garden. So perfect. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

Thank you so much for normalizing anxiety and stating that you struggle with it on a regular basis. That is very comforting to me.

I love how the kitties keep a watchful eye on you all!❤

Amanda and Lincoln, your chateau and garden are glorious, especilly in spring. Lucky you, but it's also a joy for us to watch how you are developing the walled garden - and retaining your sense of humour during the process. Well done, and keep going please.

That’s it, it’s official! You are now the ONLY château folks that I follow on youtube. I unsubscribed from all the rest. I just love your pacing, your content, your vibe. Nothing else compares. Your garden is looking fabulous. Love Enzo the foreman :) he did a good job supervising you both. Greetings from 🇨🇦

There’s just No giving up for Lincoln! He’s so clearly focused.. in the rain. 🌧️ 😂 So much going on you two! 👍

I really like the bracelet ! My son used to bring me various nature made finds, when he was little, we would stick them all in this cool & huge twig wreath. It was really unique and displayed all his finds. He's 33 now and still an outdoor guy. Created a hiking group that is growing and growing, they go every Sunday, all over our area. Sincerely in San Diego California

The fig tree, the lavender, the alyssum are beautiful. Hard work , well done you two. I love how Enzo stays with you, such a sweet and loyal pup. Love your videos, the garden is looking great ! Can’t wait to see the beams!

Absolutely love the drone view of The garden.

If you really want to know how it looks, if it’s all symmetrical, use your drone. From what I can see on the video, it looks terrific.

You are so fortunate to have a walled garden to keep the deer out. Petunias would be eaten immediately in my garden. The herd of mule deer ate my little lilac bush and my geraniums that I thought they did not like. Your garden is beautiful! How cool that you can use trees from your property to rebuild the floor of the cottage! Your blogs are always a treat!

Ah, so glad to see lavender! We planted a 'hedge' of 14 culinary plants, alternating a darker and lighter variety, and it gives such a huge harvest - more than we can ever shortbread or London Fog our way through in a year. There is nothing more relaxing, pleasant and anxiety-calming (yeah, me too) than spending a few hours pulling buds off and having that scent all around and on my hands. (While eating lavender shortbreads and sipping on a London Fog, of course.) Those plants and the fig tree may make that the most scrumptious bed in your garden.

Brutalist Bark Bracelet

You will LOVE the black lace elderberry. I grow it here in Virginia zone 7b and it is a ridiculously easy plant. You can prune it into any shape you want each season but save some of the cuttings because it roots almost as easily as willow. I just plunk a few in the ground and see what happens! The flowers appear pink at first but will grow and spread into large plate-shaped clusters of mostly white flowers. Really hardy and versatile. Loved this episode! Didn’t want it to end!

Hello from Texas, I'm so blown away that plant prices are so affordable compared to here. That fig tree would be around $80.00 easily. And your lavender is around $25- $30. Great Job on everything! Of course it helps to have an agreeable husband.

You have really chosen such a lovely property to call home. I know it’s a lot of work, but you are creating such a paradise! Your garden is turning into a wee bit of Versailles! 😁🇨🇦
