Love hearing from Brandon. He had a great vlog. It is interesting seeing his many food crops. Seems like they can grow anything there. Have a Wonderful Day!
Great video Mike! An interesting look into the growing capabilities of another climate. The only thing about tropical soils is that it soaks up nutrients really fast. The struggle is to keep up with getting organic matter into the ground to feed the soil. We'll definitely have to check out their channel. 👍
I didn't know about how fast the soil in tropical climates take in nutrients. I will have to ask Brandon what all they use as fertilizer other than guinea pig poop. Thanks for watching!
Yes, that is a big struggle at least in other parts of Ecuador where it does not rain as much, but here in the part I live in it rains so much that it does not really matter!
Interesting meeting Brandon and seeing how he grows his own food and meat. Maybe you can send him some seeds for him to try growing down there. Thanks for sharing and good luck Brandon.
Hi. Looks like a nice place. Warm climate and all. I don't think I would do well any where else....guess I'm set in my ways. Thanks for sharing. May HE bless you mightily. GROW ON!!!!!
I know what you mean. I hate the humidity here in July, and Aug. And don't care for cold temps. But it would hard to live somewhere else. But I would like to visit a place like Brandon's. Perfect temps year round sounds nice.
AsiaticBW You can almost grow everything there, but it depends where you are located. For example in the highland region (la Sierra) that’s a cold place for us the Ecuadorians. There you can grow potatoes, grapes, peaches, blackberry, blueberries, etc. In the Amazon zone cocoa and more it’s humid and it rains a lot. Here’s an article that in the Ecuadorian Coast are growing grapes 🍇. The article is in Spanish so you have to use the google translator to be able to understand what it says www.elcomercio.com/actualidad/siembra-uva-santaelena-cultivo-produccion.html
You did an excellent job! Thank you for being willing to to be on our channel. You are doing some amazing things and your place is so amazing! Keep up the good work! 👊💪👍
Brandon did a great job and he has a lot of cool stuff going on. It would be awesome to visit Ecuador but we would not be eating any guinea pig. Thanks for watching Misty!
They eat guinea pigs in Ecuador?........................um, ewwwww.....but, to each his own. We had some friends who were missionary's in Ecuador for a while. They really liked it there, loved the people. Would like to see it myself one day.
Did you get the loafa sponges done yet?? Are you planning on selling me 2 large ones?? Please name your price I am sure better in with you than a store.. I have your mail box address.. Please let me know. I will need one for Grand Daughter.. Hay!! Grow On!! Love listening to you. I have tried doing a pine apple for years now need to transplant. Wish I could do what you all are doing..When I get a green house I want to get a banana tree. Love the little ones.. Do you think they would grow in NYS.. or Pa..
Hey Susan! I (Lacie) haven't checked on the loofahs lately, I had to end up taking them off of the vine because of the cold weather and put them in the greenhouse to dry out. I think I have a couple that are ready to take the seeds out of and peel, I will have to get back to you on that. If I get some good ones then you are more than welcome to buy them. Baker Creek is growing bananas and they have cold winters so I think if you had a heated greenhouse you could probably do the same.
Love Brandon and his family, they are doing good work in Ecuador =)
They sure are!!
Thanks a lot!
Brandon is a good kid. he does wonderful work in his garden. gotta love him. thanks for sharing
He is a good kid! He has a lot of neat videos on his channel. Thanks for watching Linda!

Randy did a great job didn't he. Glad you liked the video thanks
Such a nice place and perfect weather to grow beautiful and delicious food. Definitely a corner of paradise 😣
It sounds like perfect weather to us too! It is really neat getting to see a homestead in another country.

Hey, it sounds like a nice place to grow.
Sounds like great growing conditions to me. It would be awesome to be able to travel there one day. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful country but how big do the bugs get without the cold . Not fond of some bugs. Nice young man. Thanks for sharing this
I don't know about the bugs but it doesn't get really hot either so I wonder if they are a huge problem.
I think that the bugs are better here than in the US!
Thanks for letting me know that. I thought they would be much larger.@@RomanianSimpleLife
Wow, you did a really great job editing that video, even when you had really bad footage!
You did an excellent job! Thank you for being willing to to be on our channel. You are doing some amazing things and your place is so amazing! Keep up the good work! 👊💪👍

Okay!
@@RomanianSimpleLife What were the plants with the pink flowers? They looked beautiful.
I think it is some breed of impatiens. not sure what type it is.
Hey! Very interesting!
Interesting thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome video of Brandon and his homestead! So if you do go visit Ecuador, would you eat guinea pig? Honestly I have never heard of eating them. 🌼
Brandon did a great job and he has a lot of cool stuff going on. It would be awesome to visit Ecuador but we would not be eating any guinea pig. Thanks for watching Misty!
We do not eat Guinea pigs either just sell them to the people around here who do like to eat them!
@@RomanianSimpleLife So as a Jew you sell it to the heathen?

What was that noise at 2:56?
LOL That is one of his sheep.
Lol, I have a guinea pig. Maybe I need to utilize the natural fertilizer.
Do it and let us know how it works!
Are the parents Missionaries?
Good question
No, my parents are not Missionaries, just wanted to get out of the US.
