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!

Bee loving “Olive Hairdresser” just another profession to add to your list. Just an idea if you have trouble going to sleep, try and count how many professions you have. I must admit after watching you and Theo doing so much work, you soon go to sleep. Theo did an amazing job clearing your other property of half of the Broom, a little credit to that Steel Blade. Love ❤️ to you both xxxxx

Absolutely dig those irises up! The rhizomes will transplant very well. If they’re like the ones we have in Canada, don’t plant them too deep.

@theindieprojects 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip!

@dorianmorton67 2 месяца назад

Agreed! Also from 🇨🇦!

@cjw648 2 месяца назад

Same here in the U.S. Even if the tubers breaks, you can still transplant them. Wrapp a wet cloth or paper around them for the ride. No matter how many you take, there will still b e tubers left in the ground that will come up next year.

@gerrihall5133 2 месяца назад

Agreed. They need to have a wee bit of the corm above the soil though.

@rosemarieroberts9168 2 месяца назад

@chezmoi42 2 месяца назад

@@theindieprojects I haven't read every comment, so I'll just echo the consensus: yes, they are easily replanted, but it's best to wait until after flowering, mid to late summer (if you sell the house sooner, the buyers will surely be happy to share some with you), before taking them up, so that the energy has gone back into the rhizomes to support them for the next year. As you dig them out, cut leaves back to 10 - 15 cm. Plant them with the top of the rhizome out of the ground. You can wrap them in newspaper and keep in a cool dark spot if you can't plant them right away. There's lots of other info on line for how-to. They look like regular bearded iris, rather than any of the wild species, so they'll surely be sturdy and reliable in your garden. I have a nice collection of various colors shared by friends over the years.

@diedredunham7383 2 месяца назад

I have almost enough iris to fill a 50 foot by 50 foot space. I have transplanted so many and thrown away a ton of them. Here in the USA, and kind of in the middle of 6 transplant them almost any time the ground is workable. Good luck with them!

@thizizliz 2 месяца назад

it's so great to see you both healthy and working together again! Great idea to sell the first place to be able to focus on the new one. In spite of everything you've been through, it does seem a better choice for you two. Running water and air con, easy refrigeration for food - so much more comfortable even though you're working hard always. Life is nice when we have some comfort.

@theindieprojects 2 месяца назад

That’s good to know!

@carolynmills513 2 месяца назад

I cannot express how much it makes my heart happy to see Bea out there in the sunshine working alongside Theo. I am so hopeful for you guys future on Miracle Mountain. You can definitely dig up the irises. It actually is beneficial to the original plant to thin them out. Otherwise they get to the point they stop flowering. You can also dig up some of the rose bush if the cuttings dont take root. Great job on giving the olives a haircut. Do you harvest the olives? How do you preserve them? Would love to see how you preserve the bountiful harvest of your fruit trees.

@pamlucas1326 2 месяца назад

Bee you look so well, blooming in fact. The op has obviously been a great success. Best wishes to such a lovely genuine couple. Absolutely so love all you do.❤️

@reneewoywitka3504 2 месяца назад

You got a new truck! What is the story on the truck stuck in front of the garage on Miracle Mountain? So lovely to see Bee back and looking so wonderful. Her energy is so infectious!

@theindieprojects 2 месяца назад

The truck on miracle mountain was our first truck we bought here, it is full of character but the engine blew up in 2021 and the one that replaced it isn’t reliable and it has a tonne of issues that need work!

@Jennelle1958 2 месяца назад

yes. iris is a bulb... dig them up, store in cool dry dark area(like potatoes, plant in fall, spring they will pop up again. And yes you can did up roses also. Trim all stems to the base, Dig up the root, soak 24 hrs. and plant

@maryleereid3675 2 месяца назад

After they are through blooming you can collect the iris bulbs to transplant.

It's great to see Bea in the videos again

@kathleenschmidt7074 2 месяца назад

From what i understand about roses cut down to about 1 foot above ground, removing all leafs. You will think you killed the bush, then you can dig up the root and replant on miracle mtn., give bush plenty of feed when planting and water

@donnas9599 2 месяца назад

My friends and I swap and/or give away iris bulbs every few years as ours continue to thicken. I have some lovely peach iris that I (sort of) consider 'heritage', as they originally came from my friend's grandmother's garden that she planted back in the 50s or 60s. It's a wonderful way to share, and to keep memories alive of friends and loved ones. Hugs from Maine, USA.

@barbarakloise6790 2 месяца назад

We used the bentonite in our pond because the muskrats dug tube holes in the pond retaining walls. Bubbles started coming up from the retaining walls the first summer after the pond was dug. And we were very worried the wall was gonna rupture, but we use that stuff and all the bubbles stopped. And then we got the muskrats out of the pond and didn't have any more problems with them drilling into the sides and making tunnels and weakening the walls. Hope it works for you too. In the u, s, we didn't have to go to spain to get it though!! Lol.

@dawnkupczyk4247 2 месяца назад

Yes,they are a root bulb and are easily transplanted into your garden. Dig away

@sandybaker5227 2 месяца назад

Yes Bea, you can dig up the Irises and replant them whenever you want! They are very prolific, so make sure you plant them where they won’t take over an area that you have other plans for!💖

@nataliakaminsky7179 2 месяца назад

I love that you were so thoughtful to leave some iris for the pollinators❤. I have air layered roses before but sure there’s be another way to propagate them.

@TransformationinProgrss 2 месяца назад

Looks like quite the productive day. It will be nice to have the irises transplanted. Everyone is happy on Miracle Mountain.

@lovek2us 2 месяца назад

The irises are beautiful. I bought a lot of bulbs to get Irises in my gardens. It is so good to see you, Bee, in love with the land again. You and Theo are happy working together. It's great to see you guys enjoying your life together. Hopefully, by next spring we'll see rose bushes and irises on Miracle Mountain. You guys are the Everready Battery Rabbit, with all this energy. Love the videos and you 2. Be safe Bye from the Jersey Shore

I can imagine an Iris bed on the island. They would probably do well placed around the rim of the pond too.. what a sight that would be after a few years…🌸

Clip a health limb and they say you can root by using it in a potato. Look on RU-vid for all the instructions.

@teresajames5993 2 месяца назад

Bea dig them out to your content. They will be fine. Most plants will move fine. I’ve done them at all times don’t worry about when “ someone says” they can or can’t be moved. Just dig whatever you want to take with you to the mountain and replant at will!! 🎉🎉❤

When I watch the two of you at Miracle Mountain I think of another meaning of PC. We already have politially correct and personal computer but with you I think these letters stand for Perfect Custodians. I am so glad this land and property was bought by you. To still invest your heart and soul into Miracle Mountain after that devastating fire makes this truly inspirational. Lots of ❤ from the Netherlands.

@kastah 2 месяца назад

Iris is very easy to re-plant. Do not plant the roots to deep, the best is to see some of the roots above groundfloor. Beutiful flowers and are spreading easily. I have many different colors.

@elenashackleton8135 2 месяца назад

The Ryzomes can be cut apart and replanted in the spring. I use a box cutter to cut them apart! My husband has thrown pieces in the field and they take. Hard to kill actually.

@cliveroulstone9366 2 месяца назад

With Iris the rhizomes are usually close to the ground save them and plant them (they wont grow from flower ,,,, Your can take cuttings from roses

You two are such lovely people! I enjoy every minute of watching you! You are my therapy! Stay true!

@inabates8919 2 месяца назад

Yes you can replant then, picture a high heel shoe, the narrow end to 3/4 of the tuber under soil, the fatter end the heel leave above, cut off the flowers and scrappy leaves, to about 2-3” above the tuber, they’ll then put all into regrowing. They love the sun.

@LuciaLeePollard51 2 месяца назад

Absolutely take your irises with you, I took mine from Georgia to Colorado and from Georgia to New Mexico and they transplanted just perfectly. I don’t know if you know how far that is away but it’s a lot different type of landscape, so do it take a bunch of them.

@ChrisHighEagle-ck2fg 2 месяца назад

Yes, you can plant the tubers where you want and they will naturalize.😅

@lindabrooks8242 2 месяца назад

Good to see the two of you outside, working together. I feel it is time for a stretch of abundance for two very hard working, beautiful people! And so it is!❤

@colleenlongardner2692 2 месяца назад

I used rocks in my landscaping way back when it wasn't done. Those moss covered rocks/boulders are just beautiful. If you have smaller rocks (it appears you've no shortage) semi pile some and put dirt in the hollows and plant flowers or ground cover. It will look great in no time.

@marypollyea189 2 месяца назад

Roses do great too from cut branches. I use a root starter and keep them in water until they have plenty of roots but others put them in a pot of dirt.

@jeanniebettesworth8361 2 месяца назад

Yes, irises transplant very easily. They want a dry spot and the tuber should be near the top of the soil.

@jennichristie5264 2 месяца назад

Had a giggle with Bee’s thought stream! Great viewing guys.

@joancoleman1228 2 месяца назад

You can probably dig up some of that rose bush and bring it to miracle mountain.

@barbarakloise6790 2 месяца назад

You should be able to collect seeds off those iris too. And then grow them from seed as well. As the rhizomes Just look up online where to find the seeds. Let him dry after they wilt. And die and you should be able to collect seeds, but get them before they drop naturally

@emummy2 2 месяца назад

Transplanting anything in bloom isn't ideal but should be fine if you baby them a bit. Best time to transplant is spring before bloom (and even sprouting) or in the fall after they've died down.

@eleanorcramer7986 2 месяца назад

Rose stems stuck in mole hole/mounds to discourage activity yield new rose plants. Iris Rhizomes are easy to lift and replant being careful to lay flat just covering roots not rhizomes.

@LuciaLeePollard51 2 месяца назад

And Georgia, USA the same goes for the irises, you don’t plant them deep just mulch them with a lot of leaves, or whatever you mulch with. But only put about a half an inch to an inch of soil on top of the rhysums

Yes you can take the iris. Just dig up the bulbs/rhizomes and set them down in a damp place. Barely cover them at all. I have just set them on the ground and not covered them at all and they grew! What matters the most is the spot needs to be moist most, if not all the time. Good luck!❤️🤗🐝

Nice to see you back Bee 🤗 I know you are being treated by your specialist. But as a person who suffered through horrible cramps and heavy periods throughout my life. I always thought it was normal. Thank you for bringing this issue up and helping women who are going through this through awareness. I had a hysterectomy and that finally solved my issues, however they don't tell you the new problems that will come after that, for example hot flashes and mood swings. They will happen, mine came a year later. Make sure to bring that up with your doctor. Please share if you find anything to help with those symptoms. There are many to discuss, it's a whole journey 😢

@shaynehauskins4663 2 месяца назад

If you take a cutting from the rose bush and dip it in root stimulator, then plant in a pot it should grow! you can then replant in the ground next fall or spring....not sure🤔
