I watch a lot of Portugal homesteading videos. Many, many are telling us they want to grow vegetables and fruits and then you see the most sad gardens ever. Tiny beds, 2 tomato plants, a few herbs and not much else. Plants are looking pitiful. I think many just trying to garden for content and you can see they don’t have the compassion and patience to do something beautiful! You do! It’s such a joy to look at your garden. You really produce beautiful food! Love to come here and just relax and often learn something new! Thank you! ❤❤

I do agree with you a veggie garden should also be pretty and yours certainly is. The transformation that has happened with your hard work is amazing. Throughly enjoy seeing the house Reno but was starting to miss the garden. Dan’s culinary creations always look interesting and would love to see more of them. Thank you for having such an interesting channel.

You've both created such a paradise! Your hard work is paying off. ❤Though you adore gardening I think a flame (fire) weeder will become indispensable over the years for maintaining weed-free stone walls. You just hit the walls with a little heat and a fortnight later brush the weeds off the wall with a stiff broom.

@NearbyVeggies

2 ай бұрын

Thank you. I should have explained that the main purpose of cleaning the walls is to inspect them for damage and to clear as much as possible before fire season. A flame thrower could be quite dangerous to the wildlife that live in the walls- lizards, snakes and bees and the like. We appreciate your help to make our lives easier. 😊

Hi, I'm back. I've been in hospital and recovering from surgery now and catching with up with latest videos. The veggie garden is lovely. I can hear the cuckoo in the background announcing good weather. ... You had all the asparagus after all. Stop Dan from mowing that terrace😂😂

I'm so envious...in a good way at the sheer variety of food that you can grow. It's inspired me to grow a few more vege. I grow mainly flowers with garlic and peas thrown in. Thinking maybe leeks...can you get perennial leeks and onions to grow in Belfast cl8mate, not too different from Donegal ❤

The veg garden looks wonderful and enviably full of lovely plants. I'm glad to see the kiwis taking at last, I seem to recall that early attempts seemed to insist on dying off. Seeing the grape vines on the edge of that terrace really illustrates how the growth further back toward the house has filled out the area, it looks like a different space altogether compared to the same spot in years gone by simply because of all the lovely vegetation that dominates the view now. As we come towards the end of spring here in the UK, my own garden has got to that satisfying stage of high pace growth, the veg patch finally looking less vulnerable to the onslaught of slugs because there is just too much growth to eat (and we've had some relatively dry days recently, compared to the rather damp trend through the first four and a bit months!).

@NearbyVeggies

2 ай бұрын

The kiwis are really going strong this year. It's incredible to see their recovery. And yes, the gardens are filling up beautifully inching outwards weekly.

You easily have the most prolific garden of the ones I watch in Portugal
