The onions and garlic should go straight in the ground
True! I just need to give them a headstart as I haven't prepare the land
Put the onion sets and garlic bulbs straight in the ground, they will do absolutely fine. Happy growing 👏👏
Yes! This is the best but we haven't prepare the land yet for them so we thought to give them a headstart and then plant but I know replanting may be a bit tricky for the roots. Then I will plat more just next to the first batch and try my luck
Hello Omar, Andrea, Simon, Mom and the lovely inspectors. Glad that you let us behold all these amazing accomplishments!
Garlic and those onions is sow in the land where they gonna grow
True! I just need to give them a headstart as I haven't prepare the land
Lots of hard work is going into your property. I love watching the rock walls come tumbling down. Your mom is a hard worker as well as the rest of you. Good job as always. ❤
She is a very hard worker! I need to be checking on her every now and then so she doesnt push her self to exhaustion!
Taking down the walls might need hardhats and steel toe boots, and maybe a handmade hook tool to reach the tall bits and to safely maneuver??? Please be careful!
And I love what you are all doing to this place! Have you thought about olive trees too?
Loved watching you & uour mum in the garden. Lovely memories.
Awesome video Andrea. I love seeing the walls coming down. That means it a step closer to rebuilding. It is going to look amazing. Good job everyone. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
There’s another crazy Aussie watching this channel! 💕
I’m just down the road from you in Parramatta.🤪
@@merindahthornton5080 👍
Your mom is amazing! I love your multi generational family
Thank you :)
Love seeing walls removed
What a labor-intensive process. The result of the rebuilding for your mother's casita is lovely, and I'm sure what you, Omar, and Simon do with this building will be equally attractive and functional for your needs.
This will be our dining/kitchen area so we super excited to see how it turns out :)
U can tell Omar has been among the English (his recent trip) he’s full of the gentle comedic quips, self-deprecating humour, and subtle ironies from ole’ Blighty. I enjoyed this as much for that, as for the visibly satisfying changes that are happening at great speed it seems. Big changes. Big excitement. Lots of love & Good luck!
Thank you Hussain, can't wait to see what 2024 brings us. So far, so good :)
You all are doing an amazing job. Omar and Simon should wear construction hats while pulling those walls down and safety glasses, rather worried about something bonking them on their heads and sand and little stones or shards of roof tile getting into their eyes while pulling the walls down. Those kitties are lovely and your mom looks like she has settled well now and is she enjoying her little apartment? Thank you for another lovely video Andrea, Omar, Simon.
Miss Lunar looks pissed off. Did you forget tuna Tuesdays?
Discovered you on Luke and Sarah's page and i instantly subscribed after watching your video.
Good job on the demo. I wish you'd wear a hard hat, but you are careful. Just continue to jump quickly!
I love spring onions! You can never have too many spring onions.
Have a good week!
Blessed Be!
It's so true! You can never have enough spring onions!
Hi Omar and Andrea, Simon and Mum,
Your land is so beautiful,
I can't wait to see everything growing in your garden again this year, (it's like a Labour of love for you and your mum and you seem to have the ability to grow anything.
Wow those stone walls are dangerous , you had me on the corner of my seat each time thinking the whole lot was going to fall down.
Another great video guys, thank you😻🫶
,
She is very good in the garden I have to say and enjoys it very much!
The walls are certainly dangerous but I do cut off (or not film) a lot of the planning how they need to do it the safest way to avoid injuries.
Best episode from Portugal thus far! Recommend you turn down the volume of the music whenever someone speaks.
Thank you!
Besides all the homesteading work, I love watching what you cook. Any chance you’d share this chicken rice dish. At first I thought you we’re making Gado Gado, but using the similar dressing with rice and chicken I hadn’t thought of.
I just google Gado gado and it looks amazing! So thank you for mentioning it. I'll add the recipe on the description today. Will do share it more recipes in a more organised way. :)
"Naguara" Now that's definitely a venezuelan word. Hard working days guys. Great progress on the walls and so satisfying too. Love watching your mom enjoying herself planting. Keep it up guys. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve
If you have any oil or grease, a little on the center of the wheelbarrow's wheel will help with moving the wheelbarrow smoothly.
hahaha! Absolutely! We are not even from that region but a Naguara is a necessity in any Venezuelan lexicon :)
damn Andrea , I have to admit that you make that padthai chicken (padthai kai) well, you should also try replacing the chicken with large shrimp (padthai kung)
ahh! Thanks so much!! Im a massive fan of Thai food and try to recreate it as much as we can! I'll try make one with shrimp as well!
2:30 I wish you could have repaired the bread oven and saved that beautiful chimney just saying!
Unfortunately, not possible. We can’t have a bread oven with no chimney inside our dining room. The chimney was made of brick and cement around 1960s. Nothing really artisanal about it I’m afraid and again, no way to keep the fumes away.
We will be making another one bread oven, similar to the one we had which was made of tiles. This kind of structures are very common in Portugal
Your mom is doing a great job clearing up the yard in preparation for spring gardening! 🧑🌾
Looking forward to the next video 😊
It was worth the wait! Though I have to admit, I was going to watch it 2hrs ago....but I had taken a muscle relaxer and 3 Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for my hip, (sciatic nerve issue) and I fell asleep. LOL😊😊😅😅
THE VIDEO WAS SUPER FANTASTIC!!! I enjoyed every bit, especially taking down the wall! It made me feel like jumping in there and helping, even on one leg, haha!! Oliver(your brother-in-law) I forget his name by the end of the video, is such a fine man! He has done a lot.❤❤❤ And I know now why you have your Mum there!! Oh yes!! To make your garden the best garden and teach her baby daughter how to do things!!, GOOD ON YOU MUM!!!❤❤❤ I'm planting strawberries this year too. My garlic didn't turn out last year and after waiting your video, I know why! I'm going to try Sunflowers this Year for the 1st time after watching SIMPLE LIFE PORTUGAL's video on how their's turned out, before the end of August. I love Sunflower seeds, and the plant gets so big!! Well, the video went buy so fast! I could watch 45 min- 1 hour or more! That old ruin, I didn't know how yalll were going to do it. I was intrigued when I 1st saw it what, 2 or more years ago, I forget!?? But, Y'all had an ace up your sleeve, your Brother-In-Law and then Mum came to Supervise!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are doing Excellent work!!! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣🍍🤗🤙🤙
So glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you are feeling better. I will epxlain a bot more later how we are doing it and why. We have had to pivot a bit witht he build because the walls were in worse condition than we thought. We can only know once you start to peel away the render but nothign that cannot be fixed which it's good!
@TheIndigoEscape Yes! And you can reuse the rocks so it's not a waste! I get it! You never know about walls! While I was watching the chimney being torn down, I was thinking, if they put one of the wheel barrows underneath the hole, it would fill itself up! 🤣🤣🤣 I even thought about 📞 calling, and then, duh, I'm watching the past!🤣🤣🤣 Y'all be safe and healthy!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. You, Omar, Mum, Elf, and Oliver(?).
Have you thought about Kratzy hydroponic gardening? Microgreens? Bucket planting potatoes? Raised bed gardening? What about using smaller rocks around the bases of some of your fruit trees? Using the canopy of these trees is a great area for those herb shrubs to grow. They also have the benefit of less weeding and more nutrient enriched soil.
I love watching walls being taken down! It's like watching a puzzle being solved :)
Hey Andrea please remove the blue plastic ring from around the base of your pomegranite tree - it will strangle the plant as it grows. Great video - love a bit of destruction!
Will do!
Love your veggie garden! Looks so yammi!! And so fresh!
Gusto de verlos a todos, en especial a tu mamá.
Simon is amazing.
Put the garlic in the freezer before planting it needs the frost
Maybe a plow or equipment it's safe and and so much quicker. Something to push it down and scoop it to wherever you want it ❤ y'all do great work I love all u have done!
True but unfortunately such machinery are expensive here so we are saving that for another time.
Wow loads accomplished today I am a flower lover and tree and veggie lover! great job ladies!
Taking down the structures is so fun! LOL memories of working with my Dad.
Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e adoro ver seus vídeos e a evolução das construções.
Obrigada! Adorou Brasil a a cultura de la!
It looks so beautiful there; it’s winter where I am so it’s only thoughts of gardening. I have to wait another two months before I can start my seeds indoors and another two months beyond that to plant my garden.
wow Thats quite up north eh? I remember the days in the UK like that... We are very lucky here with the weather but comes the summer we have the opposite problem which its too much sun. I have been trying to find ways to create shadow this summer

, everything thank you for sharing 😊
Try metal detecting for gold 🤔🤣💪
❤ the video
Thank you :)
Hi guys, great work so far. Speaking personally, I could do with a reminder video of the layout of the buildings and a walk through of the work completed up to now. I hope you can help my confusion. 😊
Me encanta haberlos descubierto! Mientras me recupero en cama me he visto 50 de sus videos! Está quedando muy lindo todo! Saludos desde California. Sería interesante escuchar de cómo llegaron allá desde Venezuela via Inglaterra! Mis antepasados son de Portugal y quisiera retirarme allá en una década..
Graciad Josefina y espero que este teniendo una buena recuperacion. Podria luego decirles como llegamos hasta aca :)
Hello!!! I love the work you are doing and the beautiful space for Mom. I know it late now but you should try the No Dig method of planting, it's much kinder to the ground, creates beautiful soil and much less weeding. I've used it in my yard and I love it.
I'll have a look at it! Thank you Lori. There is always next year for experiments :)
The Thai food looks scrumptious (this vegetarian would substitute tofu). Bring on the peanut butter! Please explain your approach to the stone house in the next video. Just seeing it knocked down is not so satisfying, although it is good to see you salvaging all the materials.
Thank you Gina! We have explained some time before but I don't mind doign ti again as we understand people join us at different stages/videos. Just rest assured that it will look the same as before but nicer :)
Just a suggestion, for filming you need a titch more light in your kitchen. I really enjoy watching the full scope of daily life including gardening.
Thanks! That's a good idea. I'll see how I can get some sort of stand up light for cooking filming
I love your videos. You know, iff you cut the green onion end (part with roots), you can put it back in the ground and it will grow back.
ah wow! That's great, we just planted some more so I'll try that next time and see what happens
Stick large wooden skewers into the raised garden beds to stop the cats digging. Add woodchips around the seedlings to help against cat and spray a mixture of cayenne or chilli, vinegar and other things cats don't like around the outside of the beds good luck
Oh wow! That makes a lot of sense! Cayenne pepper! Chilli! I will look into it! Thanks!
I love watching walls come down
Andrea, if you want to buy fish sauce and other Thai and other Asian ingredients there is a market in Fajozes(near Vila do Conde) called Supermercado Chen. I know it's a bit of a drive, we made a trip every three months or so.
Dodgy walls indeed. Good thing you have spare land to put the rocks. And having a place for the rubble is even better. Hi to your Mum and brother in law. Great to have help isn't it. Good work. Best wishes..
Sweet Mama. Will you tear down all the walls, or only this annex?
Not all the walls but more walls than we thought. I'll explained on the next video
Thank you for sharing this lovely video 👍🫶👍 Kitties are so cute ❤😻
Love how you made the effort to preserve the roof tile. The way the tile was used to delineate the bed for your Mom’s bulbs is great.
What are your plans for the building you are working on? I can see how easily the third-world stone houses fall in the rain and earthquakes. So dangerous for everyone around the building.
We have no risk of earthquakes in this area of Portugal.
Loved this video x
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice shot through the orange tree beginning at about 5:15.
Keep it up guys ❤not easy but god will keep you going. ❤❤❤
My kitty Butters sleeps tight up against me.
Better than a hot water bottle!
Such a shame to see the oranges laying on the ground 😔
unfortunately it’s an ornamental tree so the orange are very bitter
@@TheIndigoEscape oh dear what a pity but it sure is pretty 😍
Sorry but is medronho and not madronho, or in english arbutus-berry. Regards.
Thanks for letting me know!
great progress
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Hi, what can l use instead of peppers pls
Is this because you don't like the taste of bell peppers? You can try a different pepper like Padron peppers which are a bit sweeter in taste. Otherwise if you want to substitute completely, you can use courgettes, the stem of the broccoli which gives texture but not a lot of flavour, brown mushrooms or sugar pods.
Also add Sprouts. I didn't have any when I made this recipe but it certainly gives a nice crunch to it.
😊😊❤❤
simon looks like he is amish.
did you guys have to ask permission to demolish then fix these ruins? if so how was the process?
everyone seems to have not so good of a track record when asking to build. of course, everyone lives in different regions in portugal but i think its the same rules for everyone.
haha, he does!
Yes, you do. You need to have an engineer involved to do the paperwork for you. I wouldn't dare do this without an engineer who can guide you with this and knows the ropes. It takes a long time though.
Building without asking is very common in Portugal or what others do is retrospective permits (with a fine attached in most occasions).
@@TheIndigoEscape you guys never talk about it so i imagined that it was easy breezy for you.
@@spicynomad We have touched the topic a couple of times when necessary to address.
okay, i was probably distracted i didnt comprehend. de nada.😍😍😍
No worries, it's good to come baxk to it as people also join us at different videos :)
❤❤❤
