The fact that you just leave the veg stall there as a self service business, and the fact that it actually works, are a testament to the honesty of those fine folk of the west of Ireland 🇮🇪

Yeah your right, its sad there there are so few places these days where you can do this or use an honesty box system. I'm in Cornwall at the moment & i have seen quite a few places selling eggs & fruit and veg & they use honesty boxes, i really thought that was a thing of the past but its good to see there are places with community spirit and trust still

Even in (anglican) East Anglia you still find honesty boxes. Personally I think it's a habit that needs cultivating for the future. You might lose some but you sow the spawn of trust and caring, which is a far more valuable crop than coinage

I went on a trip to a park in Co. Kerry and went into the little restaurant there. A person in the family had died so there was no one to serve. We were told to help ourselves to whatever was in the fridge, and to use the kettle for tea and coffee. We were to leave the money in the honesty box. I thought it was a lovely thing to do...

My thoughts exactly! I Googled it, Sugar, water etc. and a whole year to ferment and mature. But after the first year should not be a problem, if you keep the production rolling.

I scared my mum silly the first time I fed my rabbit strawberries.... She swore it looked like a massacre and she had visions of the Monty Python's carnivorous attack bunny 😂😂😂.

w a r n i n g : eating strawberries can be mildly habit forming, especially if served with clotted cream, may also produce uncontrollable feelings of joy, happiness and contentment.

I swear, when you told us about picking them early to beat the slugs to it, I stopped the video, put on my head torch and went out in the dark to pick a whole bowl full!! hahaha, I've been getting so mad about the slugs in the morning when I go out to pick, the biggest best ones they always find and ruin. I put them in a box in a room that's pretty dark, but should I keep the top open for air circulation or close it? And PLEASE share with us how to make strawberry wine! I think I'd like to do that sometime!! Love your videos.

There are yellow alpine strawberries that are even more care free and don't produce runners so they'll behave in a flower bed. The birds don't eat them because they are waiting for them to turn red first. The only problem is they are small but they are also more of an ever bearing. They won't fulfill the nagging strawberry lust like a cultivated strawberry will but they are nice to snack on through out the 9 months that they produce (zone 8b).

Thanks so much for those strawberry growing tips, especially picking them before they're fully ripe, I had no idea you could do that. I had given up on my strawberries and most years the slugs and birds were having a feast! I have been growing just a few plants in hanging baskets in desperation! Mia's card was lovely, thanks for sharing that. Your animals gobbling those strawberries was great to watch! Thanks again!

I recommend Hugelkulture beds to anyone in a hot, dry climate. I managed to get a crop of good pumpkins from a Hugelkulture bed during the worst drought on record in Australia. I will definitely be building more for our berry crops next Spring.

I follow Mark from Self Sufficient Me and he now has Kevin from Epic Gardening selling the Birdie's Garden Beds to those in America through Kevin's online store. I'm Australian too and I managed to get fruit and veges growing through our terrible summer's. My neighbours laughed at me doing the Hugelkulter method and they did start stealing from my gardens and throwing chemicals on the vege beds toward the end of summer so I've stopped growing for the time being and will start again when I move again later this year.

I love the way that Moss is pushing his nose in your face!

I have about 8 plants on my rocky mound, but now I want to plant more!

Happy Birthday Mia -you are blessed to be born in strawberry season.

Am impressed how you overcome the usual thinking that certain crops can't be grown in your area by observing how Mother Nature and the local environment and micro-climates actually interact to keep producing and reproducing to inhabit the earth. You observe all aspects of the environment, needs of plants and come up with wonderful ways to use Mother Nature to live in harmony while producing wonderful goodies. Your "no waste" way of living is so wonderful to see. You're a thinker and, most of all, a "yes, I can" kinda guy! Please keep posting -- you're ingenuity is so refreshing.

10:50 This advice is absolute GOLD. We have a few strawberry plants in a tunnel and they're starting to produce well this year. Picking any strawberry as soon as it blushes and then ripening them indoors, which happens quickly. Haven't lost a single strawberry to a pest so far this year. Thanks Daniel!

On each video you produce, I come to realize more and more the huge amount of work it takes to keep a project like yours. It's not as many of your viewers depict living off the grid...just contemplating the scenery and lazying around. It takes tons of work and the energy for that comes from love to live that life style.

Yes we definitely need the wine recipe please! Thanks so much for your videos always enjoyed :-)

You are the dream man

Even the dog loves strawberries!!! Lovely video 👍🏻😄😻🤗🍓

So glad to hear you are doing well.

Great to see you! How sweet the little note was. You made her birthday. Excellent information too. Hugs to Moss.

Your videos have a calming effect.

Omg I’ve been waiting and waiting AND WAITING for a new video! Thank you 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️

I live in Upstate New York and strawberries grow very well here. Would you consider doing a video showing your strawberry jam and wine recipes? My mouth was watering when you spoke of them and I would love to make them myself. Keep the great videos coming. I really look forward to them.

It’s so good to see you again! Very inspirational!

So nice to see the outtakes at the end! I look forward to more vidoes...can't wait to see how everything is coming along!

This is the part of humanity and love we dont always get to see on the news or tv. Wonderful to see how you have grown over the years as I remember your first video of moving away from the UK. Good luck on your journey 😀🙏🏽👍🏼

I discovered your videos last night and I was up until nearly 5am watching them. I love all the information you provide, it's fascinating! I've fantasized about doing something like this for years. You're living the dream, thanks for sharing it with us. Oh and speaking of sharing, today I messaged my friends and told them to look you up. I hope they enjoy your material as much as I am. Keep up the great work, I'll be looking forward to the next video. Cheers

Loved the out-takes with Moss at the end. Another great video, can't wait to see more! :)

The picking early tip is going to be life-changing, thank you so much! I've been despairing at the mean old slugs eating half my berries this year!

Hi Daniel and Moss, good to see you🍓🍓

Greeting from Thailand. Really enjoy your vlogs you are terribly inspire me to having my own vegetable plot and live sustainably. Just what i really looking forward to see myself being liberated as you in the future. Thank you for sharing your success and looking forward to see more lovely videos.

I've been trying to grow strawberries like forever. I have watched this vídeo so many times to learn as much as I can. Thank you.

Those are real beauties! Thanks for another wonderful inspiring film. I love the fact that 250 plants sprung from just 18.

Another great video from the garden keep them coming,so enjoyable to watch and a whole lot of useful info too .

That was a pretty good presentation of strawberry culture. The intro and the conclusion are fantastic. I liked it so much.

I love all your content! Greetings from Spain

Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits. I could eat them by the box full without any sweetener. What a lovely gift for a 10th birthday! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Thank you this is by far the best strawberry growing and using video I have seen on youtube.

Great thanks... I hope Mia had a lovely day. xx PS...I just love Moss. x

The idea of picking the berries just slightly red is a game changer for me. Thanks for that.

I am in total awe of this channel. Happily KZread thought i'd like it very much and you appeared in recommendations. Slow life is something I had to leave in order to (sic!) get back to it once I have the priviledge and finance. Just like you mentioned in one of your latest videos - you need to have the start money to get to your dream. But I am patient and conscientious in gathering the finance needed. Mentally, I have never left the countryside. I miss it dearly. Every second of it. Your videos make me want to fulfill my dream faster. It makes me long the fresh air and the feeling of the soil underneath your fingernails. I was even thinking of one day creating a slow life youtube channel but thought: who would watch it anyway!? I am so surprised (pleasantly) that there is so many young people who strive to live like this and are met with the enthusiasm. Where I come from, the usual is to leave the family home, go to the big city, get a corpo job, get a mortgage and a flat, get a car in leasing and get married (expensively) and very quickly have children. But when I look at this standard I just feel anger and fear of being pushed into such a conformist way of life. Give me land, give me animals and I will gladly make produce, take care of the animals and live happily (with a bent back) until the rest of my days. Just like my Grandmother does. Despite being 98 this year, she still can go to the field and harvest, has an apetite of a grown man and strenght of an ox! The countryside makes the sturdiest and happiest people. Thank you for creating! Please post more, I already watched all of your videos :D

So lovely to hear about strawberry growing in Ireland. I am in zone 8B in Seattle Washington USA and enjoy growing blueberries and raspberries and have just added strawberries and thornless blackberries this year. I appreciated all you shared about strawberry growing! Thank you!

What an inspiration this chap is self suffiiency is so cool and the way forward if we can

You have come along g way!!! In such a short time. Hard worker you are. The love of life and the decision you have made to follow the path you are ment to be on shows!

I started gardening 3 years ago, growing all fruit and veg.It is not easy and can be hard work.I admire what you did.

Really an informative and enjoyable video. Thank you.

loved the video, great tips for nxt year, that was very thoughtful of you at the end x

Lovely video. I really liked that part about Mia and the note. Wished I lived close enough to buy some stuff from the stall.

Thank you Daniel for all the tips, love your videos! You're a gentle soul and Moss is adorable! Greetings from Argentina.

Great stuff! Good luck with everything.

Thanks for the tips that was really handy, and hopefully sort out my strawberry growing every year ❤️🍓

Brilliant video. Thank you so much for the precious tips. Best wishes from Normandy in France.

Hi there from Australia. I love watching your channel and have only just found it so I have a lot of catching up to do. Although where I live is much drier than where you live in Ireland it was great to hear how you grow your strawberries. I am also into sustainability and appreciate your lifestyle choices. Good luck with everything and I can't wait to see more! :)

I used to make my own fertiliser by rotting comfrey leaves in water. I'm convinced that it improves strawberry plants a lot

Thank so much for the tips on growing strawberries. Will definitely try some next year. I was intrigued by your jam recipe is this something you might share. How nice to include a note for the young lady's birthday. Stay well. Doreen from Ontario, Canada

looking forward to seeing more! Thank you

Love your videos Daniel. Thanks for great tips! 👌🏻

Ah! Thanks for that video! I’ve just picked the first few ripe strawberries from my patch. I’ll definitely be taking your advice about picking them at the first sign of red. I’ll be round for a glass of wine later!😉

Great information, thank you. Here in Spain the strawberry season is over, we don’t have enough water keep them going through the summer. Yours look great though. Enjoy. 🌞🌞🌞

I do that with my tomatoes... I didn’t know that you could do that with strawberries, too.. I’d love your wine and jam recipe! Thanks for sharing your tips. It is good to hear from you and Moss.

Thankyou for the tips about runners. I want to move my strawberry bed this autumn and now I know how to gather up the new plants for it.👍

You are so productive! Great video.

Amazing work

Love your veg stand! And thanks for the growing tips. I only have 7 plants at the moment, some in raised beds, some in the ground, so not many strawbs! The other day I saw a flash of deep red under a leaf but was sad to see that half of it had been munched by a Gastropod! Then I was surprised by a whopping great frog trying to get out of my way. I think it has been allowing the slug/snail to eat the strawberries, so it tastes better 😆

The mossy outtakes are great!

Great video with good tips well done . Learnt a few things myself. 😃😃

Thanks for sharing such a great experience.

You and your animals are doing very well! 👍🥰
