Summer Has Arrived In Portugal | Planting A Pumpkin Patch On Our Homestead 

Yes, yes, do some more pumpkin planting, you do have the place and the leaves will also cover the ground. If you have to mush, you can trade them with your neighbours for something else.

Oh the heat has arrived. Consider looking for an outdoor 'water mister' hose attachment that would cool down an outdoor seating area - as long as your water is safe. Only needs to be used when you need a cooldown 🥵

Winter pizza with pumpkin and feta… yum.. Sending love❤️❤️

Corn should grow well there.

Love watching you both, you are so upbeat about your life and experiences! Keep the happy videos coming… ☀😍

Great music guys. The cherries are glorious 😍

Great video and I am sure you are very tired after such a lot of hard work in the summer sun. Looking forward to the cherry video and yes, go mad plant lots of pumpkin, they’ll be great in salads, soup, and are a gorgeous winter veg. Thanks for sharing. Pauline

Everything looks good ,you guys 100❤❤❤❤

Plante toda a abobora que puder, mais vale perder a semente que a sementeira :) com tanta erva daninha eu optava por canteiros elevados, em Bailey's Homestead reciclaram chapas e madeiras para fazer os canteiros, acredito que tenham ai o necessário. A vossa quinta é linda mas dá muito trabalho

You are very hardworking! The property looks very good! A lot of work to keep it like this. I can't work much longer in this heat. Only possible in the morning and evening hours. I tried the cardboard method once. It's not a good solution for me. It rots too quickly. And all the pioneer weeds grow through again after one winter. I shoveled all my raised beds empty and built a sieve to rid the soil of the weed roots. Terrible stuff. I have 2 larger beds directly in the clay soil. Bought hundreds of gallons of soil to make it more fertile and softer. This is the first year that everything I have planted is growing very well. I have been clearing the beds of weeds for 4 years. After the fire last year, my raised beds were destroyed anyway, so this year I started with a new concept. I put landscape fabric in the beds. This is to prevent the grass from growing back into the beds. The roots sit in the heavy clay soil. No more compromises! I'm in battle mode!

Just read and article that claimed snipping off the very tips of seeds like melons and squash increases germination time. To hot here in Florida to start those right now but will try it next year.

How is the house coming on? Can you's give an update and show us around .

You guys are hard workers today so Carlos are you ready for a haircut ? LOL ❤

Have you tried to go Gluten-free for your skin? I stopped gluten for my non-celiac digestive issues, and my scalp issues greatly improved. I currently do eat small amounts of gluten now, as I can tolerate it, but much regular bread/rolls/pizza causes stomach problems and skin issues for me. 💕

Who stepped on a nail? Go get a Tetanus shot ASAP! Do not put it off until tomorrow! Most adults cannot remember when they had their last tetanus shot so that means you need a booster.

Cut the hair ,take the hat off
