Summer’s final harvest on our Farm in Portugal

As Summer fades, and Autumn creeps in, we look at the last of the harvest from the vegetable gardens and prepare for the cooler season.
It’s time to gather firewood. and store the food for winter.
We go to a local Festa and enjoy some Portuguese traditions.

We save seeds – Sunflowers, Amaranth, chillies, tomatoes and winter squash.

If you’re new here, We bought an abandoned stone farm house and land in Portugal.
Over the last 18 months we’ve been restoring the land, and continuing our love of growing vegetables on a larger scale.

We’d be thrilled if you LIKE this video and hit the SUBSCRIBE Button and join us on our big adventure to turn this land into a great big edible garden.
Thank you.

  1. This year gardening has been rough all over so your harvest was very good . I like that you tried some different varieties . Have you considered planting a fall garden ? I have had gardens in hot dry areas and it's a relief to garden during the winter . Pegs with PBC pipe stuck on and bent over to make hoops with plastic on for winter and shade cloth in summer . You could have fresh greens and root crops all winter . Where it gets really cold a bale of hay on the root veg will keep them from freezing . Now is a good time to plant peas . If it's a really cold winter and they don't grow much as soon as it warms in the spring they will get huge and produce and everybody else will have plants 6" high . Quinoa is supposed to like cool weather and if you find it unpolished in the grocery store it would be interesting to try also millet might be a winter crop there . You probably know all these things but I get excited when I see enthusiastic gardeners so I apologize if that's the case .
