What lucky pigs you work hard to give them comfortable home Buying plug plants is not cheating it’s forward planning 🤣😂👍

Hi, Andrea and Nick. Good to see you enjoying time with your friends. The garden is looking lush. It looks like the new kitten has settled in nicely. See you next week❤️❤️

We had a wonderful time with you this week. Always great to see you both. There definitely was a pig theme! X

Another week of hard work and progress. Nice to see Nick over at Frankie off grid doing the building and providing advice. Have a good weekend folks. 😊

Fantastic video really enjoyed it

Your brambles are like a jungle! Looks good after you cleared them out

Loved the music in this one, Max is so cute I wish he’d let me stroke him. Love bubbles too 💛

That tree was half the size by the time you finished i was amazed pesky brambles . .

Plenty of work and hard work but a wonderful way to live 🙂👍

Bubbles is a nice and funny piglet😂😂😂. I loved watching you running after her. She is very very smart. You have an emerging star in your farm❤️❤️❤️❤️

A BIG THANK YOU FOR HELPING LAURA AND DAN! just subscribed to your channel too.👍

Great vldeo.

Our onions are the same this year (middle/SW France) started off well but non stop rain and no sun since we planted them in March, seriously waterlogged here didn't see the sun or moon on the soltice 😢. Your vlogs cheer me up, thank you.

Omg your orange cake looked delish! Yum

Never without a job on a small holding, I grew up on one and Saturdays had to help my Dad with jobs it seemed never ending. Now I can't wait to get my own. Thankyou again for the video

Greetings to you, I am new here and I found you when you were helping your countrymen with the installation of the roof, a wonderful farm and you have wonderfully imagined survival and life on it, BRAVO ❤🧡💛💚💙🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐔🐔🌻🌼🌷🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

I love to watch your long videos ❤ Max is such a sweetheart 🐶 I ove your farm animals, pets, and your property is stunning! Nice veggie garden, as well 👍🥰👍

Just love hydrangeas

Bubbles is adorable, I loved how she trotted along behind Nick while he was working on the fence, her heart belongs to daddy!

Put my sweet potatoes in I have tomatoes I have peppers and see what else some sunflowers

Planting onions too deep can result in issues with bulb formation and can lead to bulbs that are small and oval-shaped rather than round.

Bubbles was a happy lass following her dad about-it was a good idea not to breed from her yet. That tree must be feeling so much better now & it’ll be interesting to see what type of fence -near the boulders where you’ll put in the new pig paddock. Australia 🇦🇺

Brambles NeverEnding Story

Hi Nick and Andrea, stumbled on your RU-vid video and will keep watching your progress. Our wall and patio still give us great pleasure. Good to see you both looking well and happy. Pete and Lynn

The ferns were a clue about the moisture and gully.

Time for a cordless strimmer!

Here for the first time ever sent by "The Origin Homestead" Thank you for helping them with their roof. ❤ Just subscribed!

🌳 the tree let out a sigh of relief freed from those choking brambles.

It's amazing that you're still discovering things on your land. Great video and have a wonderful week.

Put my zucchini and squash in a little bit late but it'll grow

Oh Andrea i feel your frustration with couch grass, its a nightmare. I heard using chickens in a limited area helps to reduce it because of their scratching. I'd love to know how the dark purple hydrangea keeps its colour! I can never remember which is acid or alkaline soil for pink or blue, but that purple is stunning. I love your piggies, such beautiful characters 😂 You have so many interesting places on your property and so much still to uncover like the water way, great bones, just need to find them 😂

Loved watching every minute of it!❤❤ you two just don't stop for a second, and give us lovely tips for clearing weeds and old vines, and fallen debree( I'm on it this year! Son helping out next week to remove it all, 30 yard dumpster ordered for free, thank you dearly Truckee Meadows Fire Dept❤ ) planting, fence making, (my son's next project ) and I'm going to show him videos of your lovely walkways! Every video you teach us more! Thank you dearly for sharing!

It is amazing to see all that you do to make things better and safer for your animals and plants. I love to learn from your videos.

Hello Nick from USA Florida. Saw you on The Origin Homestead. You are a Good Man. Please add a link so we can buy you a cup of coffee. Have a Great weekend.

There is a lookalike bracket mushroom, just like turkey tail on top,but has yellowish tight gills underneath not the nice white pores of TT.

Loving your fence ‘assistant’. 🐖 Also seeing Max - sweet boy! 😍🇨🇦

Bend over the green tops of the onion or cut the top to about 4 inches. Either way and the onions should get bigger at the bulb side… just FYI 😊 And be sure only the roots are in the ground not the whole bulb especially about half way through the growing season.

I've had the same problem with onions in the north east England bulbs not swelling

The onion leaves were still green, Still growing? The little k💓tty is so sweet. Looks like she has settled in well. Interesting find post strim. I wonder what else lies hidden .🙂👍👍🇨🇦

Max is such a handsome boy, he looks just like the dog I grew up with. She was a great companion, a smart, loveable and loyal friend.

Great video but I want Max to be happy❤❤❤

Teamwork makes it easier. Good job.

Oh no!!! Not the cherry tree!!!!! Thanks for another great one!!!!😊

🐶🐶🐶❤❤

Sorry about your onions. I just plant shallots. The Old Farmer's Almanac says: Select a location with full sun, where other plants won't shade your onions. The more energy they can get from the sunlight, the larger their bulbs can grow. Mix aged manure or compost into the soil in the fall or early spring to improve texture. Ensure there are no rocks or debris. I don't know if they're right or not. I hope it helps.

I absolutely LOVE that song at 20:58 that is a backing to you cutting down the brambles, I could listen to that many times. So I will

Hi from New Zealand.i gather the goats have gone.wad a priority.😅😅

1st time I’ve seen max he’s beautiful ❤

Plant some Comfrey then you will have the best plant food ever

One of my favorite episodes!❤❤❤

Great video ❤ the kitten looks as if she has settled in well. The tree 🌳 can breathe again you will have a good crop of different veg

❤❤❤❤🇬🇷 🇬🇷

Great video. That was a lot of vehicles on the train.

i was always told that inconsistent watering was the reason onions dont form bulbs

Wow when you get that cleared I think it's going to be fantastic, with the stone wall and pond

Turkey tail mushrooms! Good find. Paul Stamets, Mycologist, has several books, films and personal experiences with fungi.

So busy much to do around the farm

Sorry the strimmer went belly up. Isn't it always the way! Work needs doing and something breaks. Murphy's Law at it's best!

Loving the slow mo Angie lol as always great watch

Great job ❤

Our onions turned out the same as yours this year. We live in Turkey and it has been hot and very dry since the beginning of April. It has been 40c plus since the end of April. It is currently 44c and no rain since end March/beginning April, so i thought maybe the weather caused the onions not to bulb up - maybe not?

Oh no, not the cherry tree. I don’t know what y’all did with the commercials, but I think you.{;

I wonder if you could show a map of your property and where the animals are housed, it gets a bit confusing.

This was a nice "pig tour" of the garden.

your putting on w a bit m8 need to cut down on your food beer delly

Your protegés had let the cat out of the bag that your van has suffered a mishap. 😢 What's up, doc?

Nice video! Lots of work done. Should the roots of the brambles be plowed out?

Olá project Portugal mahla sol 👎em português malha sol👍 um abraço ❤😅😅😅

Farming is constant hard work. Look at "Simple Living Alaska" They moved to a new piece of land and they are hard working people. They just started a new garden. O man this is a experience.

It's spelled "malha sol" 😉

😊😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pigs seem like too much work for me.

Looks like grueling work strumming and clearing brambles - keeps one in shape 😊. Your land is very interesting with all its hidden gems. Wondering, can you put a leash on a pig? 😂

Max is a lovely looking boy

Great job on clearing the land. ⚒️ What a wiggle on that piggies bottom. 🐷🤭

Malha sol

Have a question what does a roll of Mahla Sol cost?

Wow. How can you work in the Portugese heat each day? Impressive

My onions were the same this year didnt bulb but plenty to chop and freeze or dehydrate, i think its the weird seesaw temps we had this year so far,they all tried to flower so snipped the scapes then picked the lot.

You two are such hard workers!

What happened to your arm?

Hydrangeas are beautiful. The purple ✔️. They love acidic soil and well drainage. Are you all bothered by fruit flies? They are driving me crazy here in Texas. The little buggars can withstand any treatment. I even find them in my frig.🤣 The boy pig is runting big time. That’s his job. You didn’t want to breed the female this season so removing her was 👏👏. Don’t worry sweet girl, your fun time is coming and then comes the reaping. I poured some apple cider vinegar in a cup, covered it with Saran Wrap and put rubber band around it, poked holes in wrap with a tooth pick and they are swarming to the jar. Goggled it.😂

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 funny piggies lol 😂 nice that you found the water bron you could make it more beautiful , if you don't take out the roots from the brambles it will grow back fast, your veggies look beautiful , it's always nice to see your vids 😍.

Malha sol e não mahla sol 😊

Lovely vlog. Lots of work as always. Im shattered just watching you guys. I’ll hopefully recover tomorrow to the relaxing Foggies. Until next week, 👍❤️🥂 P.S. We all need a little more of Lily though. 😉🤞😂

❤❤❤

What happened your arm Nick, it looks like you cut it. Was it the bramble clearing job?
