nice👌🏻👌🌼

So sweet yr babies now helping , so sweet , blessings to u all

I'm trying to get amaranth developed for my area as well. The advantage to amaranth is that it can be grown for beauty and pollinator food. If we get enough to make a food treat, even better!
WRT growing any grains as a homestead staple, my research suggests it's pointless. roots, leaves, and fruits produce WAY MORE food than grains.
I think humans have grains as a staple because we developed our societies in grasslands where grains could be easily foraged in the vast emptiness of nature.

What do the children (especially Puck) think when they hear you speaking a language that is not Dutch or Portuguese? Is English mostly YouTube language to them?

It is good to see Bo helping out. It won't be long before he's actually more beneficial than troublesome! 😀

Really enjoy your videos

Britain's national dish is curry, who knew , vindaloo is a Portuguese dish, useless information, but feel free to correct me

I only realised 2 years ago that I could overwinter peppers… another money-saver😀😀😀.
Thank you for your films… always so interesting to compare your climate and growing conditions with here in uk.

I've noticed you have a fly trap hanging from one tree… recipe ? does it work? I made one with vinegar sugar and detergent and It did not work.

stuffed peppers! my grandma used to stuff them with meat, rice, raisins, veg, and spices. she would vac seal and freeze them to bake as needed.

You could pick the charmomile for a nice calming hot cup of tea

It is good to have multiple small battery bank as opposed to one large one. In Puerto Rico, Ukraine and other sites of tragedies going solar is very good.

I love those stone walls. The amaranth is beautiful. I'd like to try growing it, but I think it's too humid where I am. Those green veggies look good. Bo is soooo happy and cute.

We are using the leaves of pepper for our chicken stew or soup. From Philippines

Hi Leah, if u still have tomatoes and eggplant I would make Ratatouille with all those peppers, and parsley.

I'm so glad to see someone harvesting Amaranth. It seemed like a lot of work when I did it with little result. I thought I was doing it wrong, but maybe not. 😉

It was so good to see you working in your garden. Little Bo is getting so big! 😊

Your peppers are beautiful and we like to stuff and bake ours. We use a combination of tomatoes, rice, ground meat and cheese . I am enjoying your videos and am still waiting to see if I can order some olive oil.

Cut into strips, bag in Ziplock, freeze. Use what you need out of the bag.

Garlic and touch of olive oil crush and spray for garden pests.. especially when there small eggs first layer by the pesky butterflies that lay the eggs of the hungry worms

Concerned about growing tobacco near your vegetable plants. I believe tobacco gets tobacco mosaic disease and that can infect your tomatoes. For the Same reason I don’t grow nicotiana as a flower as it is a tobacco relative.

Great video
Puck helping with the woods adorable 😌thank you for sharing 😁

Stuff the peppers and bake them in the oven. The stuffing is made from bread crumbs, parsley, Italian cheese, salt and pepper. Delicious!

Bo is a very helpful guy. So small and he gives a hand. Great harvest Lea.

In the West Indies Amaranth is known as Calalu ( SP ? ) , where the leaves are cooked like a spinach, in which form it is delicious; so the seeds are just a bonus ! J

🌟👏👍🍀💐

Dice and freeze if you have the space

Watching you collecting caterpillars off the plants brings me to the point that now anyone of us can see how agriculture would look like without using treatment, chemical or whatever. Because that would mean a pricing that no one could afford anymore. Hope I m not the only one who sees this now…

excelente trabalho com essas sementes, fico feliz por saber que já tem patrocinadores🙏

Great vlog ! There was something different and special about this week's post..I really liked the way you put it together,starting with the hike home and the daily chores from gardening to cooking 🙂… you seemed to also up your video techniques too ,. Anyway , im happy water is plenty these days and things are greener. Your greenhouse is looking good also, are you overwintering your pepper plants? My gardening is over for the winter ,but I need to prepare for seed starting in a few months and that takes dragging my little greenhouse in from outside, cleaning and then eventually setting it up in my studio..enjoy your week I hope all goes well with the tractor 🙂

Idk how well known it is, but the Amaranth leaves are edible, too. Obviously that's not a lot of calories, but it's still a larger yield.

Who ever wants to "get rid of chickens"? Sure if they are young and male, but free females are not as likely.

You have quite a good helper! Louie was so patient waiting for his dinner. I’m glad your well is full again. Could the dried amaranth flowers sell at market? They’d make a lovely dried flower arrangement.

Thanks for showing how/why amaranth was the king's grain. It tastes awful to me, even when popped.

I like neem oil for insect resistance. Mix with water and an emulsifier and spray, making sure the bottom of the leaves are sprayed.

Tobacco is an excellent garden pest TRAP.. bugs love it, and then the neurotoxin kills them; flies especially. Then the bugs do not reproduce. Add in afternoon shading for your Tenders. Gardening winner.
