We'll do the harvest of those next week.
In the 50/60s, most country folk grew their own produce in Germany. I grew up eating seasonally. My mother preserved everything. If it didn’t come from our or my grandmother‘s garden, we didn’t eat it. It wasn’t until I had my own garden that I appreciated how much effort my parents put into feeding the family.
Those were the days 😊
Digging potatoes, wonderful, like digging for gold and just as addictive 😊
The best 😊
I do love your stuff, amazing how quickly you've reached a point where you can wander around a pick a whole dinner. In a way I'm glad the house was delayed allowing you to focus on garden
We looked at our meal the other evening and said ‘everything from the garden’. It’s a lovely feeling.
You two make me laugh... My best time of the week.. Very natural and the bantering is applausable! Cause it's the truth!
Been a gardener for my whole life I don't understand the word hunger... Now pensioned I still have tomatoes, peas, beans, spinach potatoes, onions a few like 2 basics in 5, 50x60cm wooden bin sufficient to provide for 1 and Neighbour. Gardening is the best therapy! Keep going both of you and all extras given away brings in abundance of more to come. S. A.
Thanks so much Sue. That made us smile 😊
Garden looking good. Not a bad haul of potatoes. We learn every time we do something. I’m finding keeping a notebook helps me remember what I want to do differently next season.
That's a great idea. Thank you 😊
Weather looks great and you are having a great time. Your hard work is paying off in spades. Lovely viewing.
Thank you 😊
God bless you both for hard working. Good to see Potatoes Harvesting. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you. 😊
@@NearbyVeggies most welcome 🤗
I am amazed by what the two of you produce in your gardens. And I’m so excited you will get to start on your house soon.
Exciting times 😊
I remember you both wondering if the no-dig potatoes would grow well enough. Your harvest looks good.. I am just about to pull my own, they went in after yours.
The wood chips are finely chopped, which should keep the moisture in, plus allow air flow.
Cabbage is much larger than mine, but I am restricted to planting in containers so I grew much smaller cabbage.
Your savings on food must be good this year, and getting better for years to come. Well done 👍.
We hardly buy any fruit or vegetables now. Carrots, the odd avocado and bananas.
Did I catch a glimpse of grapes? Don't forget to use the vine leaves in a recipe for Dolma. I know Dan is Vegetarian so you can make a filling without meat. Blanche the vine leaves then cool. Mix rice grains, onion, tomato, mint, olive oil, seasoning and fill the vine leaves, rolling and wrapping them into an oblong shape. Layer into a pot, cover with water and lid, and boil till rice is cooked. Goes nicely with plain Yoghurt. 🥰
Love the Menu
Great idea. Thank you 😊
I am amazed by what you have accomplished! Such hard work. I noticed the no dig potatoes are not very dirty….another bonus!
Thank you 😊
You two a great gardeners. You should be proud of what you have achieved. Good job.
Thank you so much 😊
So very satisfying digging up your own food, had a big garden once & I grew absolutely everything, it was wonderful.
It really is. Thank you 😊
New spuds with hot butter, yummy. It feels great when you harvest your own food, we love it. Be over for some chips in a bit, I will have gravy on mine please. 😅
You make me laugh 😂
One thing I vividly remember is the wonderful food that my Auntie used to make in that little kitchen , and the roasted potatoes were the best, maybe the both of you will be blessed and make the same awesome roasted potatoes like she did. Around Noon she would ring the bell , we all new it was Brunch Time, and we would all pile in the tiny dinning room and just "pig out" because we knew the last meal of the day would not be until sundown, those were the good old days of my childhood,
As soon as we get an oven we’ll be making roast potatoes. Now we only have them when we fire up the bread oven. 😊
Chips for tea tonight! Gratin tomorrow! Potato pancakes next, and so on! You've reminded me I need to plant potatoes in the next few weeks!
Potatoes with everything 👍😊
So lovely! I’m excited to harvest the potatoes I have going! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you too 😊
Nice soundtrack
Thank you 😊
Congratulations on 25K subs guys 🎉
🎉 Thank you. We can hardly believe it.
Congratulations on 25K Subscribers!!🎉 I am so happy for you both. I know it’s not easy being YT creators. We really really enjoy and learn a lot from your channel. Great job! Thank you for sharing with us 👍🏻🤘🏻
Thank you so much. You’re right about the video creation. It’s a lot of work for sure. It does motivate us when you and others watching write such lovely comments and come up with all sorts of ideas and tips. Plus, I really enjoy making them. Thank you 😊
@@NearbyVeggies Thank you 🤗♥️
👍
I'm absolutely loving watching your series, only thing I beg to see the meals you can make from your produce. My mouths watering as you're picking the veg haha
We’re working on that. Thank you for your encouragement. 😊
Picture the scene when the fruit is ripe, wander the garden picking and eating with a glass of grape juice, lovely.
I’m picturing it. 😊
Living your dream. Thank you so much for sharing it, so joyfully.
Our pleasure. 😊
Well, that is nice. You've got them planted in straw and what an easy way to harvest.
Thank you 😊
Its beautiful out there
Thank you 😊
You both do such great work !!
Such a pleasure watching u everytime 😊
Great harvest of thd potatoes!!
Flowers are all so pretty
Thank you so much 😊
One potato, two potato, three potato, four lol looks like new potato for supper.
Looking like potatoes every meal and every day until we use up the little ones. 🥔
@@NearbyVeggies Ya they are the best ones.
👍
Even in a no dig bed, you should dig up your potatoes after you've gathered what is on the surface. There may well be potatoes that have grown down. That's what they are supposed to do you know. And you do not want to leave them in the ground to rot because that will attract disease and insects detrimental to potatoes. Next season add your straw multiple times through the season. It can be MUCH deeper to improve yield. The deeper the straw the higher they grow 😊
Thank you 😊
I love how you are so gentle on the land. Beautiful. Love from NZ
Wow, thank you 😊
New potatoes are the best 🌺
They are lovely. 😊
World hunger? I don't see the problem 😅❤. You're setting a good solution for it.❤❤
We are blessed to have our own land. 👍
Congratulations on reaching 25000 subscribers! New potatoes and peas in a white sauce! Delicious!
Thank you so much 😊
Kolay gelsin eline emeğine sağlık arkadaşım afiyet le tüketin 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
I enjoyed the video! My potatoes are just flowering now! My dill looks at about the same stage! Enjoy!
Wonderful. All the best with your harvest. 😊
Y'all need a riding lawn mower, your property gets better and more beautiful with every video you share. ❤❤❤❤ Just lovely. Ty for sharing, oh you also need a wagon to pull behind the rider...that's ALOT of work...
Maybe one day. Thank you 😊
it's all looking really good
Thank you 😊
Formidable !! Ce potager !!
Pour le carton please, pas d'encre , le carton brun c'est tout !!

É verdade, não devem ser utilizados cartões com tinta.
Merci. 👍
Loved the video👌
So glad. Thank you 😊
I enjoy your videos thank you
Thanks for watching. Appreciate you sharing your enjoyment 😊
You can actually leave the potatoes in the ground, until you need them. They keep swelling to get bigger - even when the upper foliage is wilting. Potatoes do like water.
The debate between no dig and traditional growing methods is perhaps a distraction - because the key in both cases is good soil and lots of water. Give each plant some space, and they will give a better crop.
The only reason to dig them up early, is where you want to plant an autumn crop of something else.
Yes, we need the space for our winter squash 😊
Nice haul! Will definitely have to give the no dig method a try.
Let us know how you get on 😊
Can you imagine saying "Please strim the onions"? Hah, hah.
My favorite thing this time was the glimpse of the baby pomegranates! Please show us you opening one when they are ready.
By the way, I am at the opposite end of Japan to Hokkaido, and we also have great squash. (I call them 'pumpkins' though.) Each area has their own famous squash varieties, and often they are priced at a premium.
There are four pomegranates now. We’re really hoping they’ll hang on to maturity. And yes, we’ll cut one on camera when it’s time. 😊
“I did not tell you to strim my onions” lol
All I could do was laugh. He worked so hard at making everything tidy. Luckily I’ve got another batch of onions 🧅
Brilliant team work.
Thanks Wayne. 😊
Please take be careful with the fennel flower they propagate very very much take them straight away after the flower are finished do not worry about the one you have know they come back very strong next year. But the seeds from this year will invade your garden and it’s very hard to control after! I did have the same problem ! Good luck like your videos xx
Thank you. The flowers we showed were dill, not fennel. They look very similar. 😊👍
I so admire Dan’s dedication to the grass cutting. But please buy a mower! That’s way to much grass to use a weed eater on! --bless your heart!
Alabama, USA
Thank you
The good thing about small potatoes is that you just have to wash them and not bother about peeling.
Exactly. And you can have some cold the next day. 👍😊
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
You seem to have a good bunch of “Taties “ there. No risk of another great Irish (Portuguese) potato famine this year!
A lot better than last year. 😊👍
would love to see your composting system with all that weeding
We have a video showing our compost you might enjoy ua-cam.com/video/KZdzk1wdJTk/v-deo.htmlsi=hG9nPqH0qNsInfCr
I miss you guys,glad you came back. 😊
We didn’t go anywhere. We have videos every week (almost). Hit that little notification bell and you’ll know as soon as we post a new video.
All I could think about was the small potatoes and dill after you showed it. Yum! If you two are ever thinking about adopting an adult Canadian please keep me in mind. 😂The garden is looking fantastic! Well done!
You’re top of the list, Dallas 🤣
Podiam ter adiado a apanha das batatas para que crescerem um pouco mais. Digo um pouco porque estavam muito juntas e não tinham espaço. Talvez esteja a fazer o mesmo com as abóboras, a dar-lhes pouco espaço para crescerem. Estão a fazer um óptimo trabalho com o vosso terreno. É tão agradável de ver.
👍
My advice is that you stop jumping down from one terrace to a lower one because that is how many ankle injuries are caused. Either slide down as you did on one accasion and/or build some steps and use them.
Steps are in the plan. 😊
Hi, great potato harvest. How do you keep them, so they last?
We eat the little ones and not so perfect spuds first. The big ones are dried off for a day or two, put in a sack and stored in a cool dark space. They must not be washed. 👍
Love your podcast. You need a walk behind bush hog.
Thank you 😊
Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
You must be pleased with that spud haul? What does Dan think about during the hours of strimming?? X
He says he thinks about what new spaces we could create 😂
Sra aqui no Canadá dizem por baixo da planta 🌱 🪴 tirar um pouco da raiz scrab com os dedos etc Um pouco. para a raiz ir rápida. Para a terra. Sros façam um teste , bjs 💋 🙏💋🌺🙅🇨🇦
Obrigados 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Don’t you use a garden fork for those spuds. 😅 They look gorgeous…yum
We don’t need a fork as they’re easy to lift and we run less chance of spiking the spuds 😊
❤
😊
👍
👍
Where on earth do you get all your energy from. Is it all the fresh veggies you eat
I guess so 😂
It's a shame that you guys are no familiar with Frankie off Grid! A wonderful couple who is doing much the same as you!
We have met and swapped seeds but they live a long way away.
What about grapes, which you have planted last year.
They are growing 😊
Haven't u got a lawn mover that's a long job with just a strimmer.
We haven’t got a lawn. 😊
I was born in the mid ‘60’s and if it didn’t grow locally it wasn’t in the grocery store. Now the ship food from all over the world. Food items grown at home taste the best! I will not buy food out of season. It’s not good for our health, farmers, or the Earth.
It’s lovely having food in season. 😊
Don’t cut down ferns. They are helpful and beautiful
We are required by law to clean the land in fire season. They grow back 😊
Are you wanting to sack Dan, over Oniongate?
I was thinking about it, but you know, he’s a right and handy at times 😉
Olá onde você mora em Coimbra? Talvez sejamos vizinhos? Vocês falam português?
Estamos a aprender português. 👍
Do you sell your products?
No, but we swap some for things we don’t have. 👍
How much on average does it cost for your truck of wood chip.
We make wood chip but what we buy is pine bark. It costs between 20 and 23 euros a truck load.
As you are heading towards renovation I thought you might find this of interest. The couple are also in Portugal.
