Just can't beat the english accent once sound quality is impoved!Great homestead garden Kev...very productive with various interesting plants all growing happily:) Definitely one very busy homestead...how do you manage that?...I supposed well behaved children contributes a lot to it!!
I found the sound OK actually, it was just when you occasionally spoke facing away from the camera that it was lost a bit. Great video Kev, loved it, so much work you've done there. What a great idea giving the girls a bucket to collect the caterpillars. I bet you can't wait to be rid of all that building site too. One comment, I noticed that Sea Buckthorn that you've got in your second veg plot, which you said had grown enormous, well, I'd have that out right away if I were you. They grow wild around our area, and truly they are monsters which will take over any ground and send up suckers all over the place (like the Goji berries!)So whip it out quick and put it where it doesn't matter if it spreads. How are the Chilean guava bushes doing this year?
AS soon as it gets cooler I'll lift it. I only put ti there as I had nowhere else to put it at the time! Thanks for the heads up. The guavas haven't been like last year, now berries this time - I think the frost got the flowers!
Couldn't hear well when you turned your face away, and as a Yank watching - I listen VERY hard to make sure I understand everything! My first time to watch your vlogs - will definitely go back and watch all of them. I really appreciate the time and effort you are giving to make a great home for you and your family.
Such a lot of work! The video was great, would love for you to point out where your property boundaries are. As in, what is yours and what is the neighbours. Look forward to the next video.
Can you do a video of how some of these turned out when they're harvested? Like the salsify? I'm interested to see how yams do for you too. They were a real disappointment here.
Yeah I'll do videos on the harvest, no problem! The yams last year were great. I think the trick is to leave them int he gorund as long as you dare. Here's a link to my last harvest of them - http://www.englishhomestead.com/2016/01/new-zealand-yam-harvest.html
Excellent effort, Kev, and well done. I did have to strain to hear your voice though, but that did not stop me from enjoying your vlog.
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a mic so hopefully that should improve the sound! Thanks Vera.
DeleteNo music would be better and a mike as at times, your voice was lost. Other than that, very good. You work so hard.
ReplyDeleteJust ordered a mic so sound should be improved. I didn't realise it was so bad until I put it on the computer.

ReplyDeleteThey're pretty good most of the time and it sure does help!

Loved the vid but the music was overwhelming and rather distracting. I ended up watching it muted. Looking forward to your next flick. :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris!

ReplyDeleteThanks MiniG I've now got a mic so the next video should be easier to hear me, but the accent will be the same!
DeleteI enjoyed your video - you faded just a bit when you turned away from the camera. I didn't like the music, much to loud and annoying.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very hard worker and your place is going to be brilliant when done.
I think the trouble is it'll never be done the rate I'm going! Maybe one day! Thanks for the feedback.
Deleteloved it, like the intro perhaps you should do one every month so we can see the garden changing through the months :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn! I'm going to try to do them more often, maybe some how-tos as well.
DeleteSuch a lot of work! The video was great, would love for you to point out where your property boundaries are. As in, what is yours and what is the neighbours. Look forward to the next video.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to do a full walk around in a video and show some of my other projects as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Deleteexcellent. Cant wait for the next one with the microphone
ReplyDeleteCheers Sol!
DeleteJust got a chance to watch this, great job! The garden looks amazing. You're growing a couple things I've never heard of which is really exciting.
