Hi luke and Sarah i have watch Cindy today she have said that there is some ground next to her farm for sale if the couple is still interested. Love you guy's 🤗😉
Oil is my brother! Thanks for posting was lovely to see them both ❤️
Always puts a smile on my face, thankyou
I've also chopped down a lot of pines now as I was worried my pigs would try and eat the caterpillars!
Nice that you have finally some extra hands….and they seem really lovely people to, and Molly had a new play date for some time 😍 Sarah you were so funny at the end…shy to talk 🙈 you talk every week for thousands of people, and suddenly you getting shy…it was exactly really cute 😍
Really enjoyed watching this- Oli and Janka are my aunt and uncle 😊 hopefully one day their van makes it to America!!
Thats funny no more ladders and mushrooms lol 🤣 how amazing gor you to have voulnteers
Thanks for the free Skillshare trial. I'm off to learn another new skill. Your land is looking amazing, especially as we can see your beautiful terraces.
You guys never fail, your vlogs are fab entertainment 😀 The land looks more beautiful now that you have cleared it and Luke, . . . You are a thrill seeker!! I am not sure that your home made mulched is very safe. It obviously works but my heart was in my mouth watching you put branches in it!!
Always a boost to positive energy in the universe!
Hi guys . . RE processionary caterpillars. . just a quick note to say that if you haven’t already seen it . . check out the Portugal Project video on making some truly amazing traps for these critters and also the follow up video showing how successful they are at catching them. Also means you don’t have to cut down your trees 🌲 😀👍🏻
All the best to you and your volunteers
Just caught up on all the videos. Saw you on Cindy Vines and I love it when there is this sense of community when people can help each other and possibly barter labor for something the other has. I’ve watched your channel every free minute all week and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m 68, retired and live in South Carolina, US and grew up on a farm as a child. It’s not easy but it is satisfying and there is nothing like eating the food you have grown. Keep up the good work.
Love you guys thanks for the vid 😇💟💟💟
Wonderful that you have help!!❤
I had a tree surgeon out once to retrieve a cat from a tall pine tree and he used a bean bag as a weight on a thin robe to get the bigger robe over a branch high up.
So pleased that your first volunteer was a good one and they have put your mind at rest about involving volunteers. 😊
And how generous of Dirk with that gear 👍🏽
~ Luise 🇬🇧🇵🇹
Great vlog, you guys❣ So glad you and Ollie & Jana were able to get so much done, thanks Ollie & Jana. And thanks to Dirk, too, for his generous gifts. Viewers can tell how much it helped you to have had volunteers along side you I'm about as excited as you are Sarah to get your garden very productive again. Luke – mulcher – brilliant! 🤗s from me and Momsie
Hi. Where are the volunteers from?
Use a fishing rod with a bit of line and a weight to get over branches, then attach rope and pull over
Hi. I can't tell you how much glad I am to see the progress you are making 🙂 with the volunteers and the sponsor 😉 well done!
Next Monday I hope you will find something in the post office to Molly 🙂
Luke great invention from you man really respect 🌴☀️👍💪. Nice that you gyus have now a little help
