The garden looks great, I used to raise a large garden for my family when I was younger, I am almost 76 so do not do that anymore, nothing better than home grown vegetables, but it is definitely hard work but worth it.

In such a short time with hard work and now with the addition of your tractor, your ability to grow you own food, is a possible now. It will be a little easier working the soil before planting. The garden that you hand dug and planted is really looking good. I am very impressive with both of you, the hard work and the sheer desire to make it better. I know it is hot in Portugal already, so working outdoors in the heat mean starting early and then resting in the mid day. Love the hammocks in the shade, I too would spent time having an afternoon siesta until it gets cooler. The house is coming along, I am excited to see how you point the walls!. One step at a time, remember what it looked like a few months ago, you have done very well indeed!

Another great video. You have both done a lot to your land already and your hard work shows. My wife and I are in the Azores and like watching Guff, he is a cutie. The plowing worked great to rip the sod for roto-tilling. If you were strictly plowing, after making the first pass then drive the tractor in the dead furrow (ditch) usually the right wheels and adjust the plow so it fills the dead furrow and so on always filling the ditch. If you need to reverse directions then flip the plow over moving the soil again to fill the ditch.

I worked as a contractor for residential construction for 40 years.

Amazing progress in your garden. The soil looks fertile and relatively easy to work, going by the texture and colour, with vegetables cropping in such a short time. You have a good range of tractor implements and clearly have got used to swapping them out. Please, please, please fix the power take off guard, it is very dangerous to use it uncovered, it could bring your new life and happiness to an abrupt end.
