Well Ken never mind what happens in the future here in the U.K. talking world events you’re still better living in Portugal , it’s probably a good idea to start a veggie garden it’s not a bad thing anyway to have good vegetables on hand
On the other side of the world, in Victoria Australia it is Summer. Usually our grass would have browned off and we'd only need to mow every 6 to 8 weeks. But we have experienced high rainfall this season and the grass is still green and needs mowing every 2 weeks. We rarely get rain in Summer in a normal year. It seems the seasons are all mixed up and confused.
We had tadpoles in the mortar tub the horses drink out off last november. We are in Minho, so north of Portugal. We also had tad poles in the normal water tank, but I think the goldfish ate them all.
Too bad they don't make an e-riding tractor or riding lawn mower!! I imagine you and a lot of RU-vidrs like Project Portugal and Frankie off Grid and Cindy Vine would love to do product reviews!!!
Hi mate I have a suggestion for the grass spring racing you should hire someone with a tractor with a tre point linkage big slash or a Trencher before drying off thanks for the good video cheers 🍻
There was a bit of misinformation. Lavandula is the scientific name of lavender, well known for its pleasant aroma. Camphor trees are the source of camphor oil and that smell is quite a bit stronger. Also, lavender flowers are okay to eat but camphor oil is poisonous if eaten.
Hi Jane, sorry I mistakenly called it lavendula instead of lavandin, which is a hybrid lavender containing camphor. Even pure therapeutic lavender contains traces of camphor (according to google) but the camphor tree is what is primarily used for camphor oil. I'm not sure exactly what species of lavender we have on the farm but it's very pungent with a strong camphor scent.
Hey Sarah, I dont feel right asking people for money to buy a luxury item like that. I think a better idea is to get talking with some manufacturers and see if they will sponsor something in return for featuring it in our videos.
@@janhodgson1740 Im in The Ntherlands. some older tractors can be cheapish. But I don't know anything about what you can or can't attach to them, sorry.
Nice relaxing video, I would suggest you invest in a small tractor, you will not regret it. You will kill your self constantly keeping up with grass cutting.
why do you burn olive brunches? do you your soil to become sterile, without organic matter, and incapable to retain water! why don't you use a wood chipper?
We have used chippers before but its a very slow process. The amount of branches that come off 100 olive trees would take over a week to go through a chipper but only take one day to burn. The potash is good for the soil too and our fields get lots of organic matter from the composting roots, grasses, and sheep manure. Our fields have improved a lot over the 5 years we have owned the farm and they are getting much more productive thanks to the help of our neighbour Joaquim
