I want to bring you all up to speed with our garden renovation over the last 3 years. When we bought this house the garden was overgrown and full of invasive plants such as snowberries and bindweed. It’s been a lot of work but we’ve finally broken the back of it. We now have a blank canvas ready for growing our own veg and lots of planting in Spring. More about that next time.

Love the work . Great work done by you and the missus mate . Two tips for you from a cranky old bugger who has spent a lot of time on the tools . Buy long handles , length gets leverage and saves the back . Only buy wooden handles , you can hear them groan when they reach maximum load . Metal and fibreglass just leave you on your butt wondering what happened when they give , you get no warning . Loved it when the fork broke , you looked like you just lost a friend 😂

Pretty good for amateurs! My Brit friends moved to Canada, and were horrified to see huge signs everywhere saying "SOD" in massive letters with big arrows. We had to let them know that sod was the word for pre-grown rolls of lawn that you could lay like carpet, rather than seeding. Their relief was palpable.

@bravo2966 Ай бұрын

Strange, cos it's called sod here in England too. Though it does also double as a minor insult, "don't be such a silly sod" about the equivalent of calling someone a silly sausage or a cheeky monkey.

This video made me just realize the english accent is really relaxing for me. It's like a university student leaving the house for the first time, and phoning in some time later to catch up and hearing the comfort of your parents voice.

Wanted to say I enjoyed watching you carefully break up soil clods and cover the new plants as you put them into the ground- my father always said you could tell a man who respects and loves the earth by how he reverences the growing process and helps the plants to take root and thrive-- he handled planting like this himself-- nice to see a man of the earth-- thank you and I am having a warm, happy memory as I write this-- bye

It was a bit of a shock to see the original garden because I've become so used to seeing it as it is recently. I've followed your house renovation from the beginning and came here from there. I hope you and your wife are proud of all you've achieved. Retrospective videos like this put it all into perspective.

Hey Andy, I came here from your Gosforth handyman channel, and enjoy them both equally. Seeing the transformation that you and Mrs Mac have achieved, is stunning and inspiring, I imagine many people would have seen that garden, and walked away. All credit to you both, for having the vision, to see through the brambles and bindweed, to create a such a beautiful place to live.

Wonderful.l work. The greenhouse reminded me of my mother, a very keen gardener (as my father) in Newcastle - as well as the garden at home not far from this, she also had an allotment. In 1969 her last baby died at 21 days, my sister. My father bought her a new replacement greenhouse for the rotten one that came with their house - nothing of course replaces a baby, but it gave her so much pleasure and stood until she died in 2004 (when it was replaced by decking). It is good to see Newcastle gardening continuing.....Nothing like being in touch with the soil to keep people happy and healthy.

Can relate to this as I am in the process of a major garden renovation. Wet and muddy ground, need several wheelbarrows and family hands on deck, seeing transformation coming along slowly, and at times thinking will I ever get through this. But each day’s worth of work and graft keeps you going in the right direction. Then you start to see your vision come alive.

Beautiful transformation, must be a welcome relief from the work on the house. One plea, when planting anything with bamboo supports please please put something on the end of the cane , you can buy them or drilled wine corks work perfectly. Many A&E doctors and opthalmolagists have seen horrific eye injuries from people bending down and not seeing the end of the cane until too late, so easily done and its life changing. Keep up the inspiring work
