So true!

You guys are utilizing every square foot of your 1.5 acre farmstead. And organizing in a way it gives you yield throughout the whole year. Not only that, you also keep it gorgeous! I've seen other channels who bought huge properties but not utilizing as much of their land. Except getting yield from the olives. You work hard and it shows. Within matter of an year, this farmstead will look like a castle in the midst of a botanical garden!!! Best of luck for all your future endeavors!!!

I can't believe it is 1.5 acres! It looks so big and really beautiful!

It feels bigger because of zoning and terracing but it really is that size not including the built area.

The rain is like here in the north of the Netherlands, a lot. I visited Coimbra once in 1981; when Portugal was poor and there was no EU and the roads were small. But Coimbra was beautiful, with nice people. I have a fond memory of it. Have a nice weekend.

Portugal is poorer now. The Portuguese today have the living standard that they had in 1979. Basically the Portuguese got poorer since they joined the E.U in 1986.

As I live in a city, in a condo, I really appreciate your garden videos. Even second hand, gardening is so enjoyable and relaxing! Can't wait for the building to resume!

I adore Coimbra! The narrow streets and all the little shops are so cool. And the Roman ruins at Conimbriga are epic. I love your garden and admire how you are managing it. I'm trying to start mine but the bugs and snails keep eating my seedlings. It's so disheartening sometimes but so rewarding when you are able to eat what you've grown. Right now, I'm especially good at growing nettles (ha, ha) and brambles. Saludos desde Asturias. (Where it rains and rains.)

You are planting your iris corms too deep...the corms want to get the sun baking them, then you'll get strong flowers, but you've effectively buried them. Love the garden.

Your garden is beautiful. I cant1t remember (long time viewer) but was ita blank canvas when you first started? Hope the build is progressing well Best wishes from Susan in East Yorkshire.

As you drove along the highway the bush clad hills look just like here in the Coromandel peninsula NZ. Do you have issues with pests or animals that dig up or eat your plants? We have to be aware of possums, pheasants, rabbits and occasionally wild piglets too🙄 Love your garden- pick a job, don’t try and do it all at once and divide, transplant, etc. awesome 🙌

Question...do ye find the garden hoe type implement is better than the shovel and pike? I cannot remember what the Portuguese name for it is. P.S...yer garden will be ready for your house when tihe build is done and ye move in. Imagine how stunning it will all look. Will be amazing. Be proud of all ye have done in bringing this place back to life. Its breathing again..ye have improved the soil as well. Congrats.

@NearbyVeggies

Comfrey is a great nutrient accumulator with deep roots. The leaves are cut and left where they fall to provide food for other plants. It requires minimal water and is great ground cover plus it’s a wonderful pollinator attractor.

I’ll give an update in the next one. I totally forgot as it was such a dreadfully wet day. We got absolutely soaked.

for the plants you're still undecided on where their final places are going to be, why not just put them in pots first?

@NearbyVeggies

6 күн бұрын

When plants are in pots they need to be watered regularly and we have plenty of space. Putting them in the ground keeps the roots cooler and everything grows better in the ground. If they are not in a good place, I can move them again and if they’re happy where they are I can always divide them later.

Hello lovely couple, If you are interested in learning how to grow veggies succesfully in the Portugues climate you can learn a lot from a KZreadr called The Dutch Farner

Come on, guys, let's get the videoing basics right, at least. Get your face in shot, Meraid!! I'm fed up of your boobs talking to me (although I'm female!) 😂❤ You should get yourselves on a basic course. I'm sure your viewing figures would improve. Love you guys. Just an idea!

Mother Nature has gone crazy , in Sunny Portugal, it is raining and here, in the Great White North it is sunny with temperatures reaching the 30* , here in British Columbia we are having a heat wave. Your garden looks Great as usual and soon the house will look Fabulous , lucky you !!!!!!❤❤‍🩹❤
