Thank you for joining along today.
Meraid and Dan
What an absolute joy it is to stroll through your garden with you. I love to try out new fruit and vegetables I haven't seen before, thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful weekend everyone here. Love from a sunny Saturday morning here in Ireland. 🌹❤️🌹
Now, who are you kidding, a sunny day in Ireland 🤣 Thanks again for joining us in the garden.
Gosh I love you two. You are open honest about what works and what doesn’t and work so hard to realise your dreams. Gorgeous++.
You give us all lessons. I live in Southern Australia weather wise so lots of weather influences.
We all learn from each other and gardeners love gardeners.
Much love and success xx
That’s wonderful to read. Thank you so much 😊
in Portugal we say "Plantar uma arvore é acreditar no futuro"!
wonderful saying.
I think it is a wonderful stage in one’s life when you get more joy out of planting trees and veggies than shopping for clothes or eating out. Not saying that agriculture is not hard work, but more satisfying❤. Love your botanical identification.
I think I’ve always been like that. 😊
I could spend hours and hours watching you two in the garden!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
So nice of you. 🤗
Eline Emeğine Sağlık Bu Güzel Vlog ve Video İçin Kolay Gelsin Hayırlı İşler Bol Bereketli Kazançların Olsun 👍👍👍👍
Thank you as always 🤗
It is so enjoyable watching your videos.
Thank you 😊
Gorgeous! And the lovely stone wall(you two saved) in and amongst your favorite part of garden 🙂🥰. Wheelbarrow after Wheelbarrow of harvest! Soo happy for you both!! 💓
Love that! Thank you 😊
What a wonderful harvest
Thank you 😊
Absolutely a brilliant garden!
Thank you 😊
Votre jardin sweet Lady is a pure merveille. What you have created in such a short time is incredible. I love the way you garden. You are such a lovely hard working couple. I love also the best music with it all . I cannot wait for the next video . Stay safe❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I’m wondering if Ann Victoria Robert ever published any of her books with Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (HBJ)? I worked with them for 25 years and used to take care of the author’s order that were going in print! She looks very sweet and humble. Not like many authors out there and we customer service people used to appreciate people like her. Love your channel and getting very excited with your house renovation. I know you got to be looking forward to the final job done! Regards Hilde
I don’t know but she was with Chatto and Windus and her books were published internationally. She is rather modest. 😊
It’s like finding little treasures and treats in your amazing garden🙂🌶
It really is!
Beautiful friends and gardens!
Thank you 😊
I love having a walk around your garden. It is so beautiful and productive.
Me too. Probably my favourite job 😉
Bonjour from a dry day in France.....it's been relentless ☔️🌨☔️
It’s been raining here too and it’s a bit chilly. Bright and sunny today so we’re going to some more planting 😊
❤❤❤
I can see that harvesting is your favourite chore. In my mother tongue Afrikaans we call the cape gooseberry something like "apple-lovey".
Walking around looking at my plants is my favourite hobby ☺️
@@NearbyVeggies Aah!
Your little farm is magical, hello to friends ❤
Hello to you too 😊
Could the bunches of little tomatoes be Principe Borgese, for hanging to dry sundried tomatoes?
We grew the Principe to sun dry a couple of times and they are oval in shape and grew into little bushes. This one is small and round and has a huge amount of tomatoes. Whatever it is it’s excellent in flavour.
@@NearbyVeggies the seed I bought as Principe Borghese is also small(2,5-3cm) and round. But then I also bought Black Tomato and found a long obviously cooking tomato with green stripes and a purplish dark shoulder. Both have veavenly flavours.
What is the time frame for just being able to cook in the house? Next spring perhaps?
With all those gorgeous squash, I would be seriously tempted to build an outdoor, wood fired stove and roast them over the winter. Wood fired food is so very delicious.
I wish I had a garden now, had to destroy my own.
Enjoy.🤤
As long as your chili plants aren't planted close together, save the seeds for next year. You should have plants better able to handle your soil and growing conditions.
@@ninemoonplanetSave the seeds even if they’re planted close together. You might end up with really cool crosses.
We already have a big wood fired oven, but we can’t really use it while the building is going on. The squash keeps well and stores for about 9 months here.
We always use our saved seeds because as you say they do acclimatise to our conditions.
My favorite videos are in the garden
Our favourite place is the garden and it will be lovely to have a home with a garden 😊
🌳🇵🇹Olá , obrigado por plantarem essas lindas arvores , manter a nossa floresta saudável e bonita e nao fazer como alguns que só plantam eucaliptos k só fazem mal. Muita saude🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
Muito obrigada 😊
You have a fabulous garden
I absolutely love it 🤗👍
Thank you so much 😊
You know how I feel about your gardens. Amazing. That peach tree looks delightful. And the apple with red flesh. The squash all look delightful. We have a hige Farmers Market every Tuesday here in our village. I look forward to it every week. Your videos are what I look forward to every week. I love seeing your progress. I can envision the two of you on your new veranda. Bravo! Love from Italy
I sat up there the other day for 10 minutes and even in the chaotic state it felt really good 😊
@@NearbyVeggies I bet it did. The Veranda was the spot you two enjoyed so much.
Great harvest
Thank you 😊
Prachtige wilde tuin hebben jully ik geniet elke keer weer van de beelden
Thank you ☺️
This video is a perfect example of slow mindful living
Thank you
I used to purchase olive oil from a Portuguese friend. It was not a side hustle of the friend and his family. The oil tasted far greener than store purchase. It took a little getting used to, but sometimes we get used to eating factory food "product" and are turned off by healthy food. I got used to the green, but my friend got told for the commute, so he and his wife now remain in Portugal. Oh, my point: You live in olive oil paradise, so why the hell are you considering sunflower seed oil? The flowers make a beautiful bouquet but I've been told that the seeds are junk food for birds and probably for people as well . I like the stuff you grow so well.
We harvest olives for our olive oil and we also cook a lot of Asian food which calls for a lighter less intensely flavoured oil. That’s why we’re also planning to make sunflower oil which is not chemically extracted.
I see. I use sesame oil for Asian dishes but it comes from a factory. Your sunflower oil will healthier. I am looking forward to a trip to Portugal in a week. My American friends are attempting to do as you are doing. They have a ruin of a house on 50 hectares near Castelo Branco. The health issues that come with age have stopped their progress. They purchased a second place in town. They are not giving up..
We have grown sesame as well for that style of cooking. Enjoy your visit. 50 hectares is a lot to manage. We have less than 1 hectare.
@@NearbyVeggies I have half an acre in France and that is too much for one person. I love my friend's love of old houses and gardening, but there are so many risk when is in one's seventies, that things don't always work out. If she goes down it will be doing what she enjoys. I wish the same for you guys and myself when the time comes.
I am envious of your warm climes and the variety/abundance of fruit & veg you can grow. It must be so rewarding and a pleasant break from the building work. I'd love to see the chutneys etc. you're going to make.
REMINDER: Look after your back Mairead. OMG, I feel it when you reach for the ground 😂, And get yourself a pair of heavy duty knee pads for next Spring....you'll thank me for the nagging.
💚💚
Have you seen this video, Patricia? It’s got lots of preserving stuff in it. ua-cam.com/video/ePE6QdkklIc/v-deo.htmlsi=0jLsAhC8NHapLY2X
As for knee pads, I wouldn’t know what to do with them because I never kneel. 🤣
Fabulous update… your our gardening 🧑🏽🌾 community guru 😀… luv the red peach 🍑.. we enter the 3rd week at little place & we found 3 persimmon trees.. they are unbelievable.. & our Friday purchase was a wood chipper & momma said let’s do like NBVs & we got carried away slicing oranges 🍊 over the land 😂.. until we blocked it ..
Dan and I are laughing ourselves silly. 🤣🤣
Love your visitors!! Ann Victoria Roberts quite famous & very humble!! Just love her as well as her husband!! I have never seen a peach like that neither a red flesh apple!! I can’t wait for next year at harvest time!! Much love & blessings 🙌🏻🤗🦋🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ann is such a good friend and a great mentor of mine for many years. We might have to wait for a couple of years for some of those new fruits. It’ll be fun when they grow. 🍑🍎
🏡🌷🌻❤️❤️🙌🙏✋🇧🇷 parabéns casal ,tá tudo muito lindo 🤩🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Obrigada 😊
Thank you for sharing this lovely video!"👍🥰👍 The veggies look delicious and healthy! Stay safe 🌟
Thank you ☺️
Hi Dan and Mariad for sharing another great video. You have both been tireless in your efforts to transform your land and home. I was drooling over all this tomatoes, they look amazing. I just love the taste of home grown tomatoes. It is special to have family and friends plant a tree on your property. Stat safe and happy planting. Coen and Jay
Our pleasure. Thank you both 😊
Hello! Agricultural greetings.
Good morning from the South of Portugal. Allow me to ask you if it is possible for us to exchange some of these sunflower seeds with chard or flower seeds. Thank you in advance.
Could you send an email or private message to my Instagram, Maria. 😊
Your garden is truly spectacular! I'm glad your harvest is bountiful this year. Is the garden bath still a mini pond?
That project has grown and we’re currently working on it so perhaps in a few months time we’ll be ready to show all that we’ve done. Lovely to know you remembered that little temporary pond for the frogs 🐸
A beautiful bounty. Thank you for sharing. I could almost taste the veggies. I hope you both have a great week.
They do taste yummy 😋
I love Jerusalem artichokes. They are great with lemon butter sauce and I have used a bread and butter pickle recipe and they remain crunchy and crisp after canning!
That bread and butter pickle sounds interesting too. Can you share a recipe?
I love harvesting videos! I tried a new fruit this Summer, a combination of apricot and plum. 👍
Sounds lovely ☺️
You've rehabbed and built your gardens so well and so beautifully, and it's a joy to take in your harvests.
Good luck with your potential for sun flower oil. Where would you use it instead of olive oil?
Mostly for cooking Asian food which do not taste good with the strong flavour of olive oil.
Very nice to see you harvesting all this good stuff!
For watering have you hear of doing small trenches? That was used in Costa Rica, little trenches meandering down hills between planting beds you would put a hose at the top and the water would trickle down irrigating the soil.
Yes, I know about that method, however Costa Rica is in the tropics and the water supply is more constant. I was only using the watering can because our well pump was broken so we had no water in the normal holding tank to use a hosepipe. 😊
What a beautiful harvest at this time. I was impressed by the small tomatoes. Are the forest fires over? here in Brazil an unprecedented drought. There are also many fires in the region we call the Brazilian Serrado
We have had the first rains and fires are all under control now. Sorry to read about your situation in Brasil now. It’s heartbreaking 💔
We have 2 of those red flesh peach trees growing here in our garden in NZ. We call them Back Boy Peaches, the trees are very disease resistant, and we don't have to spray them with copper, our do not get curly leaf and are heavy croppers, hope you enjoy them.
Since tasting Rui’s peach I discovered that several countries have similar types of red fleshed peach and in France they have a festival dedicated to it. It’s the best peach I’ve ever tasted.
Wow! the variety of plants you grow always amazes me. I am not too aventurous with the things I buy to eat, you inspire me all the time to add new things to the menu, thank you. Winter is not an outdoor growing season here in Quebec so the indoor markets are our resorce, I think that some of the market owners must be watching you as they seem to be expanding what they are offering this year. I love seeing you and Dan i the garden. Perhaps you could also add how yu use some of the things you harvest. Stay happy and healthy 😉
We do indeed grow a wide variety of plants. Some years some do really well and the next year not so well. So, we are trying not to put all our eggs in one basket as the saying goes. Also we like to experiment and explore how plants grow in different areas of the land so we can get the best harvest for the least effort or water. We often share what we do with our food, sometimes we cook and sometimes we preserve. At the moment with the building work we haven’t as much time to video everything, though we do our best to share at least a flavour of what we’re up to. Thank you so much for joining us and sharing a little story from Quebec. 😊
You definitely have green fingers what a bountiful crop , I would forget what I planted and where lol ❤
Me too. 🤣 Sometimes I have to wait until harvest time to find out what I’ve grown.
Chillis did not exist in my diet as I grew up, and most of my family would not use fresh chilli even now. Last year for the first time, I grew the yellow chilli. I was very tentative at first, using only half a chilli and removing all seeds, but it was not as hot as I expected. I will ertainly grow them again.
That’s great to know you’re enjoying new food. 👍
I love the garden .Not able to do it myself now but its lovely to see you at work!!! What a treat to be able to grow such a variety of plants.Thanks .
So nice of you. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the garden tour seeing all your wonderful veggies flowers and fruits 😁 I think the fruit trees you planted are standing to close trees need space like 5 meters love you guys.
Thank you. We’re keeping the trees small like our neighbours do. It’s common to see trees very close together here.
Good afternoon you two. Talking about sweet potatoes, do you get the purple variety there in Portugal? Went in the green grocery yesterday here where we stay and was there were the purple one's on the selves. 😮 Don't know what it tast like yet, will try it tomorrow.
I have seen them once or twice but not tasted them either. We grow white and orange fleshed varieties.
Years ago, here in the US we had a red meat peach tree. They called it a blood peach. They were yummy. That was very special ❤️
Wonderful 😊
Your garden is prolific. It never ceases to amaze. 💚💚💚
Thank you! 😊
The round red chilies are delicious stuffed with soft feta and oregano all roasted with olive oil
Sounds great!😊
Do the Hokkaidos really want a colder climate than Portugal?
They don’t really like the heat but because we sowed them directly in the ground they got established quickly and were ready before the heat of August and then they just ripened beautifully. We grew them a couple of years ago and we were too late in the season so the plants stalled and by the time they got going again in September it was a push to get them sweetened up. They still grew but not as well as this year. They grew well in the south of England for us too.
en galicia, españa, tambien hay pexegos. muchos y deliciosos. es una variedad sin injertar, un poco acida y deliciosa.y riquisima su mermelada
Gracias. 😊😋
Really enjoyed walking through your garden ❤
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Who plays piano in this video? So beautiful🙏🙏
The music is in the description
What a delight to see how the garden has performed. Very lovely
Thank you 😊
You are harvesting, and I am planting all my veggies.
Remind me what country you are growing please. It’s always lovely to know what our community is doing in their part of the world. 😊
Hello , do you know the Persimmon's tales?
I don’t, and now I’m off to look that up. Thanks for the tip 😊
The small round chili peppers look like hot cherry peppers.
They’re definitely hot 🥵
Olá boa noite prazer em revelos a vós e a vosso amigos dom trabalho 🌹👏👏👏👏🌹👍
Obrigada, Luís. 😊
Se dan cuenta que algunos de esos zapallos los van a comer en la casa? Digo ya viviendo en ESA casa???😅😂❤
Yay 🥳
Thanks for taking the time for a garden tour in the middle of the house repairs.
Our pleasure!
FAZ GELEIA DAS PHISALES ,E UMA DELICIA ,COLOCA UMAS GOTAS DE LIMÃO
Obrigada 😊
Your face is going red with the heat of pepper.
It sure was. 🤣
Your garden's looking amazing. 🧅🌶🍅🫑
Thanks so much
you have a Nearby Jungle, now !!
Ha ha 🤣
Did you say Hamble as in Hamble Southampton? Great vlog again 👍
I did indeed. I ran the little honesty plant stall in the village. 👍
@@NearbyVeggies oh wow amazing and hello from Southampton , originally from Hythe Southampton but moved a few years ago more towards the city centre! Keep up the good work , love your channel
Thanks a million 👍
Treasure hunt gardening 😃
Oh yes!
Great harvest! Well done
Thank you!
You need a xuxu,
Yes. 👍
I really enjoy watching you, I’m a veggie watcher and I’ve gained so much knowledge from you. Thank you
That’s wonderful to know. Thank you 😊
the harvest willl it. last for 1 year?
The squash can last until about June for us. About 9 months. After that, we usually have none left but I did once find one that was about 2 years old that I forgot about. To be honest, it tasted of nothing much by then. 😂
love ur garden and love love the idea that visitors bring a tree to be planted...
We started that little tradition with our first visitor and everyone loves getting their tree planted. 😊
@@NearbyVeggies i think that tradition is smashingly amazing!!!
Awesome 🤩
Que fartura de vegetais.❤💚💚
Obrigada
Love It ❤❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
👏👏💐
😀
Hi, if you keep eating "malaguetas" that way you'll be spitting fire like a dragon very soon. Useful to guard your crops from the wild boars if the used boot fails😂😂😂
Exactly 👍🤣
