@PlatypusDreamsAust

I agree, it's never ending for them to work in the garden. But they love growing stuff and eating natural :) It's about 35 degrees here during summer and goes all the way to 40.

I'm furiously sucking in the air, don't worry ;) hahahaah thanks for watching Sharon :)

[Mrssoappeddler]

Thank you so much for sharing that with us...it is wonderful seeing such things. You could make a meal from the backyard!

[snowblume]

@Mrssoappeddler

You're welcome :) And I did make a meal! lol!!

[channh08]

WoW! Romania?? I never would've expected that. How wonderful Gen. Looks like a completely different world from what most of us are probably used to. Gorgeous! =)

[snowblume]

@channh08

It's completely on the other side of where i'm from, very different but very beautiful. I am so lucky really, to be able to be here :D

[AnoushBotanical]

Walking, smelling and eating in nature ~ FANTASTIC!

[snowblume]

@AnoushBotanical

You've said it! :D

[CindyBarb238]

[snowblume]

@CindyBarb238

Thank you Cindy!

[TheFutureprim]

Oh wow, a cuckoo at 6mins 30 into this video! I haven't heard one yet this year. They say that wherever you hear the cuckoo, you will be in the same place the following year...mad!

[snowblume]

@TheFutureprim

you have very keen ears Tiggy :) There's a cuckoo all the time here, even in the city early in the morning I hear one. It's sooooo COOL!! It's true though, I am always here every winter lol!! This time round is summer for a change. I'm glad you like this video, all that green plants reminded me of you too :D

[TheFutureprim]

Oh my god it's gorgeous! Lucky people to live there. It's so pretty and ramshackle. Right up my street. Have a most fabulous holiday Gen x x

[miagirl]

Wow...that looks like my Gramas yard back in Cali!! Gorgeous Gen :) You are sooo cute..it's Green thumbs :D hehe Everyone sounds soo happy there :) HAVE LOTS OF FUN and EAT alot of good food!!!

[snowblume]

@miagirl

Thanks Mia :) Yep green thumbs it is, although if I had it my way it would be green fingers & toes because of all the hard work that went into it. The garden is huge.. imagine all the work that went into it O.O

I've been eating non-stop girl... I feel like a caterpillar in the garden, and then like a bear in the city - fresh strawberries and cherries right off the tree into my mouth, and peaches, cherries, apricots, salmon, meat etc in the city ROFL

[miagirl]

@snowblume  now thats my kind of vacation! We had cherry,peach,apricot,banana,pl­um,artichoke,blackberry,orange­,grapefruit,apple,almond& Lemon Trees. And strawberris, tomatos,watermelons, pumpkins, mint and prickley pears. we munched out on fruit all day, oh and a pommegranite tree too & honeysuckle. :) I LOVE gardens, they remind me of home.

[miserablyunhip]

So jealous! You go to the most amazing places for vacation! I hope you're having a blast!

[snowblume]

@miserablyunhip

Thank you :) I am loving it here! 

[Superfreaky1RU]

Oh Gen! I loved this video for so many reasons but my favorites were "I think that's a hen" and "green fingers", LOL! You are most def a city girl through and through! Romania countryside looks a lot like Iowa where I live now. The big plant with huge leaves and red stalks is Rhubarb. It's poisonous until you cook it (the stalks) but it's tart and makes the best jams and pies when mixed with strawberries or other sweet fruits! Please do a city video too!!!!

[snowblume]

@Superfreaky1RU

ROFL hahahahahaahha oops I gave myself away didn't I?? I've lived in a city all my life and everything is just a concrete garden actually, so seeing this just blew my mind away. Sure I've been on holidays to countrysides before but this is different. Seeing things that are handgrown and then picking them right off the tree/bush to eat is just mindblowing. Green thumb doesnt seem to do dad & mom justice, such a HUGE garden, I nearly fainted when I stepped in.

[snowblume]

@Superfreaky1RU

I'll definitely try my best to do a city video and then a Northern part of the country video :) I'm so excited to go up North because I've been wanting to for years... But we usually come here for Xmas and it's not so easy to travel there when it's freezing cold and icy. Thanks for watching Sheryl :)

[MyNaturesArt]

OMG Romania!! How freaking cool!!!!

[snowblume]

@MyNaturesArt

Thanks Kim :D I wish there was smell-o-vision so I can pass some fresh countryside air to you, and also taste-o-vision so you can just reach in and grab those tasty cherries & strawberries that are grown in the garden.

[PegasusFeathers]

What a neat place! Rose jam? I can't even imagine what it must taste like. What an exciting place to roam about.

[snowblume]

@PegasusFeathers

I was so stunned when I saw rose jam some years back when I came here. I didn't know such things existed lol But they are lovely, and I just love how they taste. It's a really great place to hang out during summer :) All the colours are spectacular!

[MukuCharms]

Romania? That's amazing! It's really neat to see everything they are growing and everything. I've never been much into agriculture except for growing stuff in video games haha but to see them for real is kind of... inspiring really. Thanks for sharing this with us. The peaceful atmosphere and natural bliss, is a great little escape I can imagine now, just watching the video and getting a nice escape for 11 minutes ^^

[snowblume]

@MukuCharms

I hear you Katie, I've never grown ANYTHING in my life. I think I've missed out on all the fun, not to mention yummy fruits lol

Thanks for watching! I'm trying to post more vids for you guys of the city and later on on the northern part, which I hear is absolutely stunning XD

[SilkBathLuxuries]

OMG Gen!! that really was a surprise!! Ahhhh you are a sweetie you are on vacation in Romania and you thought of me :O) Multumesc!! I dream of going to visit…I wish I had relatives there LOl..My grandparets used to have a tiny house she build by hand in Giulesti and the neighbor used to give us a sugar bag full of sour cherries, Gosh that was a life time ago I was maybe 4-5 years old …Thank you so much for this thoughtful video!! Tell everyone Salutari from NJ U.S.

Thanks, Gen Cristina

[snowblume]

@SilkBathLuxuries

Buna Cristina, ce mai faci? ;)

I'm happy you liked this video, I thought of you immediately when I entered the garden. I've been to several homes and it seems every Romanian is a gifted gardener wow! It's in your blood girl :D Visiniu is so good aren't they? I'm eating them every day, I think I'm on the diet of a bear - cherries, strawberries, sarmale, corbe, peaches, apricots ROFL Big hugs from Bucharest*

[greekitaliangerman]

so beautiful and relaxing it look so peaceful there! Those wild strawberries must be so deliciousa nd the sour cherries yum! =)

[snowblume]

@greekitaliangerman

yeah it's so peaceful here girl, I just love it :D It's really remote so there is nothing fancy here but nature itself, which is enough really. There is a huge lake outside that I walked too and it's so gorgeous!

[SCENTSationalSoaps1]

This was so peaceful walking around with you! =) It took me back to my full blooded French Grandfather 30 years ago on Long Island New York, he had a beautiful garden like this full of vegetables and fruits. He would make his wine and put his fresh fruit in it. I remember getting a few sips, I was so young. I wish I had his green thumb. He was a pastry chef for the Waldorf Astoria in NY. I have his recipe book, I should go into culinary, its in the blood. lol.. Loved this video!!=)

[snowblume]

@SCENTSationalSoaps1

thanks Sarah :) I'm glad it brought back happy memories for you! Dad does the same thing here, he makes an alcoholic drink with plums and strawberries inside. It's too strong for me as I don't drink much but it's nevertheless very awesome ;) Your grandfather sounds really cool!!

[HappyBubblesSoap]

Very pretty.... Very relaxing..

[snowblume]

@HappyBubblesSoap

Thank you Sherry :D Hope things are going well for you too!

[Seedcovers]

Pretty, wow rose Jam? They have sooo many great things growing in there, thats so nice. 

[snowblume]

@Seedcovers

yep, Rose jam. I can't wait for those :) They are really lovely. Mom just made fresh cherry jam for us, I'm in heaven!

[Lmatlim]

What a wonderful place to spend a holiday! It looks so relaxing! :) What a difference from our city life! It's lovely to be so close to nature and be able to pick your fruits and vegetables straight out of your garden. Hope you are having a ball of a time!

[snowblume]

@Lmatlim

I know... isn't it so cool?? I come here usually every winter for Xmas and it's so peaceful here. I can't wait to explore the north, I was told it's very very beautiful!

It's my first time picking the fruits and veggies and eating them immediately rofl I felt like a Caterpillar LOL

[elohelreh]

very fun vacation, it seems.

[snowblume]

@elohelreh

yes it is, I love it here! XD

[ThirteenHealth]

OMG wild strawberries... My fave :D Wild rasberries are amazing too but I have only found them once :D

[snowblume]

@ThirteenHealth

[ThirteenHealth]

I just saw some red poppies.. I love poppies :D

[snowblume]

@ThirteenHealth

[ThirteenHealth]

Love the chickens in the backgrounds... Looks wonderful xoxo

[BeautifulBubblesSoap]

Wow, looks wonderful Gen! I love black grapes, they are the best! What a wonderful garden full of flowers & fruit, simply beautiful! I hope you are enjoying your vacation, it looks lovely! Hugs Claire x x x

[snowblume]
