    Almost made me cry when you talked about how it took you a year of work to get to this point, but one baby step at a time meant 365 baby steps towards a full life.🥺 I just wish we had much more of your content. I love it. ❤️

    Ti seguo e ammiro il tuo coraggio per staccarti dal sistema... Hai tante lumache che mangiano le tue verdure, anch'io ne ho molte nell'orto, le aspetto la sera e le sposto dolcemente dove possono mangiare senza toccare le verdure. Noi abbiamo un piccolo orto giardino, ma che da tanta soddisfazione e respiro... Auguroni per la tua nuova vita.

Also, would it be possible to do a Q&A? Maybe you could share how often you need to shop for food and if you guys have any plans to have animals? (Chickens, cows, goats etc.)

    les acabo de descubrir hace una semana aproximadamente y vuestros videos son una terapia para mi alma. Adoro todo lo que han conseguido, el contenido tan rico de vuestros canales, y vuestra alegría, oda al amor y a la vida, vuestro respeto y búsqueda del equilibrio por una vida justa, conjunta y en armonía con la
    Naturaleza. Realmente quisiera poder ir a sentarme ahí, en esa agradable mesita redonda en medio del jardín a tomar un cafe con vosotros y pasar un periodo como aprendiz bajo vuestra supervisión, muy en serio! 🙏🏻

    Seems unbelievable to me how far you got in only 1,5 years. We are losing so much time doing nothing notable and we tend to eat food without life in it, no wonder that we get sick so easy. It is a beautiful life you are living.

  • @shepherdessofskymeadow
    @shepherdessofskymeadow 2 роки тому +2

    Your garden is so beautiful! I love all the different crop combinations, it makes the whole place feel so dynamic. One thing that I found is helpful for drying herbs is to use rubber bands to bundle them instead of string, because they shrink as they dry and may fall out of the string. Learned that one the hard way 😂

    Доброго времени суток!) Мы с мужем и детьми уже пятый год, как переехали из города в деревню и очень этому рады. Первые два года были достаточно сложными, к тому же климат у нас тоже непростой. Но сейчас втянулись. И еще небольшой совет - обязательно заведите курочек, если их еще у вас нет. Это неприхотливые создания, которые всегда обеспечат вас свежими яйцами!) В общем, от души желаю вам удачи и дальнейшего процветания! Привет вам из России!

    The upkeep of the land for upgrowing vegetables (and more) requires a lot of time, patience and attention ; moreover, it depends on climatic hazards.
    You can only imagine it, until you decide to make it by yourself. It's also interesting to talk about the work you've done in long term scale.
    You look so carefull, I'm pleased to watch that kind of videos 🌼
    Have you ever thought about making cooking videos ?

    Your videos are very beautiful and inspirational, Eugenia, thanks for sharing. I've been growing broad beans for years and they always attract a lot of blackfly (aphids). However, if you just pluck off the top 10cm or so of each plant, where the blackfly feed on the softer vegetation, you'll reduce the infestation without reducing your crop, nor damaging the plants. Of course, the ladybugs will still find some to eat!

    May I ask how you manage watering the garden in the hot and dry summer months? Are this drip irrigation pipes? Do you use ground water? Just curious 😊

    • @EugeniaDiaz
      @EugeniaDiaz  2 роки тому +1

      I water twice a day (early morning and at night) with drip irrigation pipes but once in a while I water it by hand because I feel it helps to keep the moisture longer in the soil. Having almost everything covered by the plants also help with that :)
