Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

Love your flowers and music at the end. So lovely. Wonderful
It’s a wonderful thing to eat what you have grown.

Fighting 7.5% inflation (more like 15%) with a 1% fed funds interest rate is like stopping a Forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds
Garden looks great (I’ll just ignore the weeds. 😀) You have a nice variety there and, considering it’s really only your second year, I think the soil looks good. Like you said, it’ll just get better and better – especially doing that chop and drop of the ground cover.
Love flowers, blossoms and freshness in the garden!! Awa, cats were cozy!! Thanks for sharing!! 🤩😘
😊 aww, please water your lovely planties when it's not raining buckets. You love them so. Don't let them wither on you when your not looking or get bullied by weeds. 💗
Life is always sweeter when not fighting slugs!
Olá!
Não deixem as couves ficarem com flores, pois quando as vão comer ficam muito amargas.

Great review Carissa, it is such a benefit when small holders have experienced Alotment life 🤣 Too hot for my Lime..leaves turned yellow 🇯🇲🌅
I think the weeds take out all the nutrients, so your veggies have nothing to grow on… And it is still very early in the year…
Must be a struggle to win from the weeds…
You might have better luck with plants cause this seedling routine is not going g yo accomplish anything. Sorry you just need some better advise
broccoli flowers are amazing in salads. I prefer them over the green bits really.
Thanks for the update, Clarissa. Your gardens look great😊
Looks amazing. Build yourselves and outdoor long table for those seedlings 🌱 before the chickens eat them all ☺️
You might not get as many weeds if you built some raised beds and it would be easier on her back
Hi Carissa,
As always, love your garden update/tours! If you’re able, include an update on the chickens and egg production in your garden videos. Maybe even save clips of meals from the garden and add them as b-roll. ☺️
You should cut garlic and onion leaves regularly to no longer than 4 fingers eight so they grow bigger underneath. Good job on your garden, keep up the good work!
Don't know how you know what everything growing is, I don't have a clue what certain plants look like lol. Just been watching Kylie and Guy of Make,Do,Grow making beds with rustic logs…looks good. You certainly do have an abundance of veg growing…Well done to you. Have a good week xxxx
If you don't already have, maybe chives & garlic chives for your kitchen garden. Easy to grow once established & SO good to add quick freshness to scrambled eggs, sandwiches, soups, etc. Love your garden tours- inspiring to see yours progress.
🌟👍🍀💐
Talk to Bea about her amazing Cabbages and Caulis in their raised gardens.
How’s that new mic coming on…..get one of those one’s which is suitable for outdoor voice overs …..they kind of have a ferret look to them…..crowdfund it may be an option ?
very nice garden you both have…
Love the end montage!!!
