Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

Bea’s Mystery Garden, everyday is a surprise.

@karenkouns577 17 дней назад

It was so nice to see the off grid property again. I have missed it. Hope the new owners will be You Tubers. Thanks for sharing!

@marykennedy3139 17 дней назад

Off grid property is just beautiful. I wish someone would buy it soon . It needs another loving owner. I would love to live there I went through the whole build with y'all, and feel like I do live there. I'm going to miss it😢

@BestKateScenario 17 дней назад

A cute little sign that says Bee’s Mystery Garden would be so adorable!

@dcrowsfeet 17 дней назад

Bea, I love your style of gardening. When the mystery plants grow you will be surprised by what they turn out to be. That adds an element of fun to gardening!

@nickgrimmer7274 17 дней назад

Bee, so nice to see you back and doing the introduction, and to see the cats enjoying themselves.

@lust8505 17 дней назад

Oh my gosh John is a hard worker!!!! You are very lucky Theo to have him. So enjoy your videos of you and Bea’s adventures.

@lucasoorschot780 17 дней назад

Those bits of green metal pole/tube might actually be handy in Bee's garden beds to create support for growing tomatoes or beans.

@patchurch1677 17 дней назад

I think wood or bamboo might be better due the extreme sun and heat there. :-)

@sherryc2443 16 дней назад

More of John please... forever! He is hilarious! ❤

@lorimontcalm9086 17 дней назад

Square Foot gardening is amazing. But Bee's squirrel gardening sounds more fun. Your friend John is a strong guy, seeing him lift those rocks was impressive! Good work everyone! Hugs from 🇨🇦

@lornahardin4563 17 дней назад

I'm also from CA, northern. I love Bee and Theo and all their projects, and their kids.

@sylviajones4907 16 дней назад

Brilliant! Reuse & repurpose. ❤ the garden.

@sharonharvin729 15 дней назад

Bea grow what you want it’s fun to see something to come alive

@lindabrooks8242 17 дней назад

I always say, "my gardening is an experiment". So, Bea, I'm right there with you. Theo, someone will be truly blessed to own your property.❤

@kathydoran6176 17 дней назад

So glad to see you both have a mic so many Portugal RU-vidrs don't! The off-grid property is looking really good, someone will be lucky to buy it!

@sharonwhittington9261 17 дней назад

John reminds me of Mr Green Jeans on Captain Kangaroo. This is good. You are all making such a big difference in the appearance of the off grid place. I hope whoever buys your place will love it as much as you and many of your followers do. You both look like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Stay happy and healthy.😊

@costasworldofmusicmemories5792 17 дней назад

So much progress in such a short period of time at the old homestead . You guys are killing it. Having a mesh mash of different things growing in your garden is simply having fun with it. That's what it's all about. All the best 🙏💗🙏 guys. from Harriet, Jim and Yuki

@zurastewart6375 17 дней назад

Loved the Grand Tour of Bee’s Garden 🪴 👩🏻‍🌾🐝🌞😀

@stewartwilkinsonsnr 17 дней назад

Great Progress loved Bee taking us round her garden, John was a great character and Theo amazing work. ❤️💙💙

@lindamoore7207 16 дней назад

I am a cluttered gardener, so do you with squirrel 🐿️ chaos! If you do it with joy and love that’s what matters

@sshaw4429 16 дней назад

Chaos gardening is awesome. Strawberries will just take over. They seem to loves that area.

@BestKateScenario 17 дней назад

I just posted this silly poem on twitter but I know many have abandoned that app (for valid reasons) so I thought I would also post it here. 😊 The roof is made of sky It looks like a heart If you can fly Filled with wonder For those seeking To plunder (Because literally) No one knows What grows In Bee’s Mystery Garden

@donnas9599 17 дней назад

LOL, John is a riot, and I'm loving Bee's Garden Tour. Hugs to all from Maine, USA.

@dreamlifeportugal 16 дней назад

What a fun garden project you have Bee, definitely full of beautiful surprises. I love it when random things grow that you actually haven't even planted because a rogue seed finds its way there. So much progress at the offgrid property. Theo and John are doing a great job there. It's looking great.

@0HARE 16 дней назад

I really like that off-grid property. It’s good to see you taking care of it, and finishing up the left over projects. Whoever buys this place is surely going to love it. Best Of Luck!

@PegAMurphy 17 дней назад

your garden style is just like mine Bee 🙂 the off grid property is looking great Theo I know whoever buys it will be really happy knowing how much y'all loved it_ put a lot of love time & energy into making it a wonderful & beautiful home 💖

@thizizliz 15 дней назад

Oh it's fun to see the projects be completed. Given all the obstacles you faced, it's lovely to see you pass it on in the sort of shape you would have wanted. I love the idea of chaos gardening! That's sort of what I do. I think this year I'm going to get potatoes to survive! Cross your fingers. I hope your gardens come out nicely as well. Happy Monday.

@brendahogue5487 17 дней назад

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and Theo and working on Miracle Mountain and the off grid property

@judithparsons1920 16 дней назад

In art history I remember studying the “English” garden… Bea you are spot on! Excellent lil herb garden! Let the dill and spinach go to seed. Save the seeds! You will Always have dill and spinach! Fresh dill in sour cream or goats cheese- is so good!

@suemoran4106 17 дней назад

I love watching you Bee! You are such a free spirit. So glad you are doing well!

@pamlucas1326 17 дней назад

I love to see your garden. Chaos gardening is a wonderful title. Nature is chaos,, look how beautiful that is. The main thing is you enjoy it. ❤❤❤❤❤

@LorraineinAustralia 16 дней назад

Dear Bee.. look up clove spray for a natural bug deterrent. It doesn’t hurt your garden, is totally natural and it’s the smell that repels insects from eating your veg garden. Much Love ❤️

@addieanderson2043 10 дней назад

I do enjoy the way you grow. I also enjoy grading as well as the 8 chickens that are just a hobby. My neighbors enjoy the eggs. I give 90% away. I just love the girls and their cooler full egg basket.

@theindieprojects 10 дней назад

That is awesome!

@joyclymer7377 17 дней назад

The rules of gardening is that there are no rules.

@lieuwina 16 дней назад

What I learnt about strawberries Bea is while it is fruiting and it put runners out cut the runners do not let them grow until after the strawberries have ended their season then let them grow their runners and then you can root them up into the soil next to the plant or pots and once established in the /soil/pot you cut the runner and this way you get more strawberries. Have a lovely day.

@unattendedgrandma4073 12 дней назад

I am going to adopt the idea of ‘squirrel gardening’ for my balcony this year. Except I am already behind so perhaps I am a grasshopper.

@TransformationinProgrss 17 дней назад

Bee your garden is looking beautiful. The off grid property is looking lovely. You both are good stewards of the land. 😊😊😊

@lindacox8156 16 дней назад

Your garden looks really great Bea‼️👍😊I really enjoyed being with both of you, just moving around the stone barn property, seeing places we got used to seeing when you made those videos‼️You are really doing a LOT of work getting the property ready to sell‼️👍😊. Have a GREAT WEEK👍😊❤️‼️

@kastah 16 дней назад

I really hope you can put up a drone and show us the birds view of the property, that I am sure, many will love to see, thank you, Light and love to you both.

@suehall3298 17 дней назад

Bee I am loving the way you garden 🌹🌹🌹💐🌹🌹🌹 Theo you do think outside the box great tile crushing John so funny 😂😂 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

@LuciaLeePollard51 16 дней назад

Those rods will always come in handy in the garden!! Not rubbish!! Save them I say!!

@carolbulmer8253 17 дней назад

Hi, Bee and Theo. I really like the back and forth reporting on Miracle Mountain and the off-grid property. Bee your garden is coming along nicely… I love the snap dragons. Theo, good work on moving the stuff around on the off-grid property… I’m glad that you have John helping you. See you next week❤️❤️

@matthew-merchant144 12 дней назад

This is wonderful. I just came across your channel, but my dream has been to live a similar lifestyle, having a cottage and live in more balanced life with nature and cherries the simpler life overall. Thank you again for making these videos and having chance to see your journey. Love it and staying a fan. All the best.

@wadeprior5203 17 дней назад

Good morning, our good afternoon, how your folks doing today looks like everybody's having a wonderful day after catch you later.

@ruththomas6361 17 дней назад

One little hint on gardening Bea. I learned this the hard way. Look up companion gardening on-line. Some plants do very well planted close to each other; some do terrible. I once planted tomatoes and Brussel's sprouts near each other and neither of these did well at all that year. Also, planting marigolds to keep the aphids away may work for some, but not only did my parsley get aphids; so did the marigolds I planted with it.. Go figure. Have fun. Theo, the off-grid is looking marvelous, and it is good you have neighbors who you can work with when you need help.

@RenayEmond 17 дней назад

🌱ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEE'S GARDEN❣ 🌷🌼🌻

@patriciapepe3013 14 дней назад

Bea - you are looking radiant!!

@dot1shots61 12 дней назад

Everyone has their own way of gardening. We need to figure out our spaces for planting things. You’re lucky you have started there, here in the US we haven’t. I’m so itching to get started. Happy gardening!!

@aletademarco4155 14 дней назад

Use Epsome salt on plants for growth. Use copper wire coiled around tall sticks, place in garden between plants at large intervals. Connect the copper covered sticks with copper wire. Plants will grow prolifically quickly.

@lovek2us 17 дней назад

Hey guys. That's awesome after you put all the hard work in, the homesteads are looking great. You guys are doing so well. Theo, hope you're doing better with your health. I think Bee, you're looking so happy and peaceful. Keep up the good work. On my way to your favorite store, LIDLs. Much love coming to you from New Jersey. USA!

@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt 17 дней назад

Are you just throwing all the roof tiles away Theo, are they no good. Oh sorry I see what you are doing. Well done. Wonderful clean up of the land and Bees garden is going to be a beautiful surprise. The best sort. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@user-fs6ou3fk9p 17 дней назад

Enjoy life, find your peace. I find 😊great joy when growing and cooking.

@rianahayes84 16 дней назад

Oh Bee, your gardening looks similar to mine. My veggie garden cannot sustain even 1 person. But I do get the odd pepper, green onions, herbs, tomatoes. mint and a few other things. Thank you to you and Theo for❤ motivating me to do things outside, around my cottage.

@ElizabethBarber-tu9ey 17 дней назад

Malabar spinach.... loves heat, tastes delicious, and looks lovely!

@marywright658 16 дней назад

Thanks for the suggestion!

@lindaweiskopff790 17 дней назад

I gotta say , I've got a crush on John. ❤

@ubu2709 14 дней назад

The trick to good strawberries is to plant 20 30 100 plants straw , and as much as it pains you ,nip off all the flower buds every day so as the energy goes to the roots feed them your coffee grounds seaweed tincture or any algae from your pond... and when first weeks of summer roll in let them flower and they will boom big blush outrageous berries all summer. Enough for every day or to put in the freezer.

@dawnfitzgerald2951 17 дней назад

Hope some one falls in love with the off grid property. So nice to spend time with you.❤️🇨🇦

I grew up in the Bay Area of Northern California, San Francisco. My Great Aunt lived along Great Highway,which follows the beach area, off of Hwy 1. Anyway, all of which means nothing to you. Lol. But, this might. My Great Aunt Nell had a huge garden filled with earwigs. She used to lay bamboo tubes down (small ones) and the earwigs with climb in. I was young, so dont know why they liked it. But, she would then dispose of them. If you don't want to kill them you can move them to a new home far from your garden. If you try it let me know if it worked. Good luck. ❤

@omemeemom4102 17 дней назад

Earwigs are the worst! We put DIY bait traps in the garden - basically veg oil, dish soap etc in a saucer. It helped a bit

@deborahreynolds1552 17 дней назад

You are both looking so fantastic, well & happy, it shows that your surgery has definitely changed your life for the better Bea, physically & mentally & Theo your back must be much better, glad you took care of yourself and I am sure Bea being back has put an extra spark in your days, I can see it in your eyes. Those lucky new owners...................

@Fillup1957 17 дней назад

Hello from the southeast USA. Been following your adventures/journey for a few years now. Loving what you've done at Miracle Mountain. Love your U-shaped raised garden. I'm looking for something very similar for my garden. I'm 66 y/o and want something easy to maintain and easy on my back. I have all the necessary old natural wood to place as infill after I dig into the ground a bit and add amended soil on the top layer for plants/veggies to flourish.

@user-cg5yp7pi3e 17 дней назад

How much I love nature and the countryside. Nature is beautiful, and you are more beautiful, my dear, and all the plants that you have planted are good and beautiful. I wish to live in this beautiful countryside. My greetings to you, your followers from Iraq❤

@JanisTilyard 17 дней назад

Loved seeing the changes on the off grid. 🙌🙌🙌 Bee 🐝 the gardens look lovely. Especially with all the colours. 💐

@dianaspy6733 17 дней назад

Looks awesome! For the garden paint some strawberry shaped rocks red to put near the strawberry plants. Put out just before they get ripe. It will discourage the birds when the real ones get ripe.

@m.anttonen2874 17 дней назад

When you grow strawberris make sure the ”niple” where the leaves come from is not inside the the mold. Buy Zink with copper+ vitamin D for your acne. It will help a lot. You are doing great work!

@pattiwhite9575 17 дней назад

Brilliant use of old roof tiles.

@aletademarco4155 14 дней назад

Spray baking soda and water on plants to keep insects off. OR sprinkle a line around each plant. Use an old 2 liter soft drink bottle, cut bottom off, place over top of each plant, sprinkle baking soda around the bottle. Insects won't cross it.

@linnielowery8277 17 дней назад

Looks smashing

@kjspe971 17 дней назад

Unsolicited advice - scrap metal looks like GREAT repurpose raised garden bed "stakes" for individual plants or even to run fencing from/to and have a vine wall for beans, sweet potato vines, etc. They can also be cut to be short stakes for edging support, etc. Or use them as stakes with fencing to keep animals off young trees

@miriammuskal5402 13 дней назад

@donzinette 16 дней назад

Love your chaos garden Bee. That would be the type of garden I would like. However, we have way too many deer and would need to build some huge, high fencing to keep them out. For now, no garden.

@marjohoureld8599 17 дней назад

Bee, if you have an abundance of parsley, chop it up, let dry. And you'll have your own without all the additives. Be blessed, Marjo.

@marywright658 16 дней назад

Everything is looking really good. I do have a suggestion. The thistles growing in the compost need to be dug up and destroyed or the whole compost material will be full of thistles.

@darlenejackman512 17 дней назад

Plant some marigolds in amongst your veggies. Bugs don’t like them

@Susan.I 17 дней назад

Theo’s rock delivery!

@leayoung3014 17 дней назад

Bea, I plant much the way you do only in pots. 7 gallon to 20 gallon pots everywhere…Here in the US I can buy pots from plant nurseries on the cheap and then just plant according to the size of the plant and it’s needs. Love your gardens, keep it up! Thanks for sharing your day with us! 24:24

@dorabort6622 17 дней назад
