    Having a horse is like having A Gigantic Dog! Eats, bigger poops, drinks, gets treats, and gives you enormous joy❤❤ I was giggling when you decided the white paint didn't match Walt's coloring😂 I would be tbe same. The vanilla is such a warm inviting color. Walt farting😂😂 The countertop, sink, and splash board looks so gorgeous❤ You two certainly have been busy this week! All your plants and trees!

    Your plants need water. Early in the very morning or late in the evening. They are very thirsty. Their leaves became yellow, and if you don't take care of them they will die very soon.

    Good job on the kitchen so far, might want to put a few coats of varnish on the counter to make it more water proof. Planting your trees in the hot weather is not the best idea so keeping up with the watering is key and adding the horse manure will help get them kicked off but I would wait about 3 weeks for the new plantings to go through transplant shock but existing ones should be fine for a little shot. Should get some water pipes run down to the trees they will need constant water. Keep up the good work and try and get some screens made for your door and windows☺☺

    • @escapetothequinta
      @escapetothequinta  3 місяці тому

      Yeah I think I will coat it until it seems evenly covered and a nice shade.yeah planting at this time isn't ideal but I'm making sure they are getting a good drink (usually 5 litres twice a day) yes your right when the horse manure rots a little.it will be great compost 😁😁😁

    The only deficiency I can see is inconsistent watering especially when the fruit starts growing. Hope that helps. Try to make friends in your community especially from the elders, they know the climate and can be your best friends to learn the nuances of the area the best.

    Glad Fly made it safely too.
    Question - where do you find vinegar for pickles?? ;)

We are going to to run a splash back across the wall to so it all matches but the reason on this section was as a bit of a divide between the other half of the room.
