Daily Routines: Living OFF GRID in Spring (Building in my Cottage Garden & Cooking Homegrown Meals)

Here is everything I did this past month living off grid. I have been building the new garden, harvesting food from our permaculture garden and cooking homegrown meals.

I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and becoming self-sufficient.

I live now in a self built cabin and everything is running offgrid. The goal for the year was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸

Sit back and relax by watching my content 🙂

Thank you all so much, subscribe to follow the journey!

  12. If I may, there are organic ways to protect plants. First thing you already do: let plants grow without artificial fertilizers. This allows them to establish a relation with mycorrhizal fungi in the soil. It makes them stronger. Secondly, you also already do this: plant in smaller batches. Thirdly, the reason plants and fruits have taste is not for humans. It is a defense mechanism against insects. So, what we as humans like from coffee is, however, deadly for snails and many smaller pests. Same is true for union and spices. So, you can make a spray where you mix some milk, sugar (this will create a light amount of alcohol that kills mosquitos) with coffee, grind up red pepper and some egg (this makes it more sticky allowing the mix to stay on the plants longer). Spray every week and your plants will have less infestations.

  14. 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 ?

  21. Your videos always make me smile. So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for sharing this beautiful slice of paradise, can't wait for more. 🙏💚

  26. Que encanto que encontrei o teu canal, o teu inglês é espetacular, sou ainda tímida para falar nos meus vídeos. Somos as 2 de Portugal, adoro ver a as coisas lindas que tu e o teu namorado concretizaram.

    Love from Portugal, Algarve ♥️

  34. You are my greatest inspiration right now. I found your channel a few weeks ago and it affirmed my path to transition from living in the city to finding a home with land. I can't thank you enough for creating these videos. You are instilling confidence in those who want to become self-sustaining by sharing your journey. THANK YOU with my entire being. <3

  41. I love your content, your voice, accent & story telling skills. The filming was also fabulous. 🙂 The thing that prevents me from subscribing is that the frames moved way too fast to watch another video like this. To be honest, I couldn't finish this one as it was moving way too fast to enjoy what you were sharing. 😞 I wish you great blessings in your endeavors!
