And she spend a tit ton on Dyson heaters and OIL heaters (the environment thanks you) and is still doing everything ass backwards.
I actually hope she is pregnant-so she gets to know what it is to have someone who MUST come before she does or the whole world will understand exactly what a shallow selfish witch she is.
Linden trees can grow over 70 feet tall....can only imagine what that huge root system will do to their septic pipes under the front courtyard!!! Common sense prevails I see. It's ok Fanny... mental retardation is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Agreed. Also, friends don't let friends plant annuals.
I don't have a tiller, but all of my veg are grown in raised beds that are staked with bamboo and covered with bird netting and my garden is small enough for me to manage on my own. Her tree guy has made some decent headway, he certainly has his job cut out for him. It's disheartening that she's been there for 16 years and the front and back of the farmhouse still look crap and it's taken this long to do any forest management or to get rid of the overgrowth in the moat. I have to take a tree down this week, all the leaves finally came off of it so it's safer for me to have a go with my chainsaw...I will not be wearing heels to accomplish this task.
I could be wrong but I think that is going to look strange there.
Depends which sort of Linden tree-- there are 30 species of them including bushes, but generally that's what you plant to line your mile long driveway with, not what you put around your fountain out front. You can pleach them, and that seems to be what they intend here....if you look at google images at Tilia cordata, you'll see plenty of examples but with the pipes out front, that's probably not a good tree to have out there, especially without a dedicated & trained garden staff for maintenance.
I don't understand why they planted them now.Covering the walls in wooden paneling was the style of the times. In a farmhouse, it most likely wasn't the highly decorative sort she bought to install since the ceilings are beamed and low. Ornate paneling would have gone in a room with tall and most likely coffered ceilings. The lady of the farmhouse had more than a few months to call in professionals to sort her heating out, it's definitely on her. Instead of getting things done in the fall before the first freeze when everyone needs a plumber, this silly woman waited until the last minute. Now that you mention it, the new fellow does remind me of snorts a little with the towel on his head.
Don't hold your breath. It snowed overnight, their lows overnight are below freezing, it doesn't bode well for the plants. Those trees should have been put in the ground mid-October at the latest. If they survive, they will have frost damage. I don't know how well they could have been (if they even were) watered in after going in the ground.
Seems I'm not alone.

It's a mystery. I think it was @Arfarf who suggested that perhaps Davey had a list and madame was late in ordering the plants? If she is responsible for ordering the plants, It's not that difficult to write out "Do not order plants past this date" and give a cut off. Since she didn't know how many plants were on the pallets, I suspect she wasn't the one who did the ordering.
@Phoenix Richards-BinghamYour keyboard for foreplay and then hit that Post reply button for your "happy ending"....over and over and over again...til you've peaked at 1001 posts....
You crack me up! And I thought you were some nice elderly lady!
If they proceed & succeed with this ridiculous plan, they're going to end up blocking the views from he windows directly behind the espaliered trees as well as obstruct the top of the fountain.. The trees will also attract nesting birds. I have to sleep now...the stupidity of inappropriate planting is making my head hurt.

But we don't know whether they are natural, do we?
Either way, ears are ears. And I am all ears to hear what my fellow tartlets have to say!
Oh! Less fairy dust? Has Michael left La La Lande?
Get home, Michael, and work on that bedroom!
And when the trees get established they suck all the nutrients and shade the flowerbeds to death
You’re right! I hadn’t thought of that. From the windows, it does appear the trees will block the view of the fountain. I wouldn’t have planted espaliered trees there.
Back to the gift of the piano for her 15th birthday - I thought she stopped playing piano at a young age. And the piano in her office was her old teacher's (I may be incorrect there).
Someone posted pictures of her taken a few years ago, as I thought the same, but her ears were pointed before she went to Turkey.. She's had them altered definitely and I think it's to do with the fantasy world she likes to live in.
If you go back into the vlog with Stephanie on you tube, the link to kickstarter is in the blurb to the vlog and it shows any changes if you click on it.
IT's not quite clear, based on the facial hair, it was already November, so a bit too late. And I agree, where were the instructions? Dan is self-taught and not an expert gardener, rather the handyman improvising as he goes along. This is going to be another flop in a couple of years.
You can plant trees any time from late autumn to early spring in Europe. You can't plant them if the ground is frozen hard or temperatures are extremely low. .Its not too cold at the moment. The trees will be dormant and should be fine. They should take well and start growing in the spring. I would have taken the burlap and wire off though unless they are trying to restrict the size.

During the planting, Davey was busy inside the chateau finishing the plans for the garden using his Playmobil.
I just spat out my vodka soda! I can see Davy in drag actually!
