  1. Dried lavender will repel the moth. Also your squash looks more like watermelon. These plants need lots of space and interplanting is not recommended.

  5. Welcome home! ………… and breath! Looks like someone has planted a cannabis plant in your raised bed! Juno is adorable and will make a smashing mate for Tandy. It’s a shame that you have lost so many of your plants….. was it too much for your paid helper to water them?? such a shame. Good to see you back and getting right back into farm life, good on you👏👏

  7. “He’s doing the Michael Jackson moonwalk!”
    You are seriously funny!😁😂😁
    On a different note, look at you carrying bags of cement!
    You sure have stamina!💪🏻

  11. So glad you are back on the farm. You look so happy. The pigs 🐷 are lucky to have such lovely food. Juno looks so cute. It’s good to see Thandy and her playing together. Take care lifting the heavy bags the last thing we want is for you to hurt your back. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog on Sunday. Take care. Love Jane xx

  13. Welcome back Cindy!! You must've been ecstatic when you boarded that plane and arrived to a happy reunion with Thandie & piggies! Juno is absolutely adorable! I'm sure she'll warm up to Thandie after a few days/a week. Great tip about the clothes storage – I'll be investing in some of those plastic containers. omg Ina Paarman! I miss me some of that – I'll do the same when one day I go visit SA, lol. Enjoy being back and settling in 🙂

  18. Good idea to make a concrete trough but you could even make a wood frame out of the wood you have to put those water bins in. Your probably going to need help with a concrete trough. Attach the wood frame to the fence or pallet walls.?.
    Super cute puppy, she looks like a sweet dog. Bless you for giving her a loving home. Yep the plant in your garden does look like hemp…lol. now your growing pot Cindy. Hehe 🤣. Glad you made it back to the farm.

  30. You have another beautiful puppy❣🙆🏻‍♀️ Of course, she's gonna have a deep sleep in mom's snuggly suitcase bc it's Juno-sized and smells like Mommie (security) 🤗, bless her. Hope she grows to be as lovely of temperment as Thandi sweetie 😍, they'll be a good good guard pack. When the girls are bigger, maybe they can have a play date with Gina's big floofy dog dogs 😊.

    Your surviving home grown potatoes look good, perfect for brunch or the tiny ones might becone tiny seed potatoes.

    At least you got some feed for the piggies from your cabbages. May your new plant plugs thrive.

    Enjoyed your tutorial on how you prep & balance the kunes' meals. They are well loved. Tho Albert 🤦🏻‍♀️ is not making a great case for himself… behave Albert, or the only case you'll make is sausage case-ing. and filling 🙈!

    Looking forward to you & Crazel Hazel are reunited 🙆🏻‍♀️. Lots to do… take it as easy as you can Cindy Cindy. 🤗

  34. Glad you are planting again, Juno looks lovely and cute and is going to be a big dog, Thandi was just a bit of a bully and if she does not stop you might want to have some Sturn words with her but Juno might out grow her and we see she does not have a flee collar?…..The plant that you found growing by the herbs looks suspiciously like “weed” …..if you know what I mean ( the kind you smoke)….lol

  36. Welcome home Miss piggy yes that mystery plant is a marijuana plant question is it legal to grow drugs in Portugal🤣 asked Nick to check the carburetor cup on your water pump probably got a Little bit of water in it that will stop it from running 👍OOOOOOh there is no place like homeeeeee Can you look for a old bathtub for your pigs and put half of it in the ground so they don’t dump the water out are you can use those blue drums just cut it in half 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
