Gorgeous new chicks and the land is just getting better and better 👏👏🤗
Just joined and love it. Love you the way you speak and you accent tooo.
Lovely 🥰 so jealous I was absolutely cold in my caravan for two nights now I think the UK summer is been and gone 🤣🤩x
Just seen you guys for the first time. Very good what you have done so far on your farm. I'm from UK 🇬🇧 and its cold here. Love the abundance of flowers and your veggie beds. Not forgetting the chuks. I'm looking forward to seeing. ❤ how you progress on the farm
Arh more chickens 🐓 lovely… it’s really coming on the wildlands 😍 keep up the great work guys
Can we see Wildlands after dark please? I'd like to see what it's like to sit out in the evenings. Dunno why, I think it would be the bit I would enjoy most if I moved to a warm country.
fabulous job guys…got to get a pool!!!
You Guys doing a fantastic job on that beautiful Land.
Hi Dom, Missy and Rosey. I still can't believe the amount of work you've done in such a short length of time! I was just wondering if you've heard anything from the visa people and how long do you have left before your stay runs out? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and wish you all a happy future in Portugal xxx
I can never get over what you guys have achieved. It's absolutely beautiful.
Looking great.
Well done, it's looking so beautiful 😍 I just wanted to say don't worry about replying to my comment, as your channel is growing so quickly you won't have time to answer them all. A quick heart says you've seen it then you can get back to building that garden and looking after the chickens 🐔 take care xx
Wow, beautiful garden! I love your fencing Dom,
Oh wow, your garden area is absolutely amazing,🌱💚🌿 I love every thing your doing & your new chickens are beautiful 🐓🐓 I enjoy seeing what your creating, keep up the good work both of you 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely video. You’ve achieved so…….much.
You guys are doing a wonderful job 🤠
You got life so Wright
Regards
I grew Asparagus from plugs, in the hot weather of coastal Northern NSW, Australia 🇦🇺 and it didn't take years, producing spears the next spring. When I left the area I gave them to a friend, they must be 12 years old now, and they are thriving. I used spent compost from a mushroom farm, seaweed and sheep manure, they'll take everything, hungry plants. But keep them heaped up on a mound of dirt. Good luck.
Hi guys it is looking amazing 👏 all that hard work is Worth it
Be safe 👍
Here are my roosters: https://youtu.be/0pLV0d-bRjk
Just wow guys, the amount of work accomplished is amazing. It really is looking like paradise (a practical paradise). Hope things bear up, in the heat. I was wondering if you picked the strawberries at just ripe then stored them in the shade for a few days, they might fully ripen???? Just a thought. But as mentioned, it's hard not to eat them straight away. I had to laugh, I found myself quite envious of your poo. I never thought I'd see the day I was jealous of someone's poo. When I kept a horse, I had a boundless supply of well rotted manure, however nowadays I have great difficulty in finding any. Things are slowly getting back to normal, so maybe the situation will change soon. But the quest for poo continues. Take care guys xx

Great vid! The gardens are lovely. Artistic yet functional. You have done so much work. So awesome!
Lovely to see how much progress you guys have made on your land. It is really taking shape. Your hard work is paying off!
Ketchup on eggs is yuk
Yep, your videos are getting better, like the way you've laid out all the fencing, looking good.
Gosh, the heat will be tough on you all! Love the new chickens, so cute. I am wondering if you've got fire precautions and escape plans in place for yourselves and the chickens, just in case you have to 'leg it'?
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 love you guys, maybe put a rubber ring bye your water connection.
Great Videos. 🙂
I was told not to use cardboard in food beds as the fire retardant chemicals present will leach into the soil and you'll end up ingesting some.
Wild lands is absolutely beautiful, your certainly living the Good Life !! Well done . Love your vlogs xxxx
Do you clip the wing feathers of the hens to stop them from flying away?
I don’t believe wheat has a beard like that. Never seen rye growing so it might be that. Isn’t there a very specific season for asparagus? My Father grew it many years ago but I can’t remember the details
Hi guys I must say the drone footage of what you’ve done to your land so far was superb. It looks amazing and shows the effort you’ve all put in… jealous of your land and your dedication! Well done guys keep up that fantastic work ethic and dedication can’t wait to see more… 👍🤘
Awesome! Enjoying the fruits of your labor. It's so encouraging and rewarding. 🥰
Superb vlog….you put so much into your wee bit of heaven, really wonderful.
The garden with all the handy dandy works of building art is coming very nicely together..Can't believe it looks so good.. and it's not even a year old..
Q, Are there any particular seeds you would like that you can`t buy in Portugal?
We just love your updates. You seem to be storming ahead with all your jobs and it looks fab. Enjoy your time with your dad and thank you so much for being our weekly Portugal watch – 😍 Cheers to ice and a slice of what ever you have 🥂🥂🥂🍷
Recommend Paul Stamets on Joe Rogan podcast fascinating man.
