That's a lot of work...I recently sold my house in Tuscany, partly because of a divorce, but also because my plot had 40 olive trees. Most of the year, there isn't much to do with the trees, but at harvest time the work is very intense. Picking and transporting the olives to the olive press needs help from guys who know what they're doing...oh, and they need paying. I've moved down the road to a place in the centre of the village with a little courtyard garden plus balcony, plus a little vegetable plot a short drive away. Such a relief. I join in the comings aand goings of village life and no longer have the headache of having to maintain a large plot. Pruning the trees in spring is a necessity, otherwise the trees become overgrown and difficult to manage You're young and full of enthusiasm, which is great, so I don't want to throw too much discouragement. Good luck!

@theexPAWers 3 дня назад

Thanks for the advice 😅.. There is currently a service available for us on the land (if we want) where a local farmer can come and collect all the olives, take to the press and prune the trees for us, they then give us a 3rd of the olive oil, we’d probably go with this, no work for us and we still get a reasonable amount of our own olive oil😊

Find the book Grow A Little Fruit Tree by Anne Ralph. I keep all my trees around 5' tall, manageable size and not a lot of wasted fruit. This is the time of year to cut them way back, all the energy is up in the canopy. The best fruit grows fro horizontal "scaffold" branches.

That heavy iron piece is probably a rough farrow that is pulled behind a tractor to break up the soil and drag the grass/weeds out creating a fire break and air rats the soil, the curved hand tool is an old bill hook for cutting long grass ( tip get yourself a sharping stone to get a sharpe edge then keep your legs out of the way)

Congratulations 🎉 The land is beautiful 🌟♥️ you did good. Being a dog owner a couple things come to mind; walk the perimeter and check for holes in the fence. Doggies are very good of finding those especially while chasing a rabbit, vermin, etc.. Know the wildlife in the area. The dogs are definitely easy prey to coyotes, who can jump a 6 ft fence easily, also large cats. Boars! Once they become aware of the dogs they will definitely come back. Large birds, hawks, etc., may not be able to carry a dog but can do significant damage with their Talon’s trying. I live in an area where everyone has large properties and people still leave small pets out roaming and cry when they don’t return! I built a smaller fenced inner yard (with fencing panels from Amazon), so my doggies cannot wander far and are always within eyesight and have heart peace of mind. ♥️🌟🐾 Anyway, I think you hit the jackpot with the land and it looks relatively well kept with minimal rubbish. All the water urns appear well maintained. Look into getting a battery operated weed wacker which also has the ability to attach a bush wacker. I recently bought a RYOBI and it’s a beast. Also a self propelled battery mower can do wonders and you can also hookup a drag to pull and not use the mower part. Anyway…😉 🎉❤

Hey guys - looks fantastic- we have a lovely campo property in Andalucía and the one bit of advice I’d give you to start off with is, get the land cleared asap and keep a fire break all the way around the outside to protect it, and around the building itself. We do this in May each year with strimmers🎉 once it’s just about stopped growing and turning brown. Love the property and look forward to the adventure 😊 - Jon

A wonderful olive grove dotted with fruits flowers bees ands birds.. I think a DIARY of Life on YOUR land recording animals, insects, stages of plant life with weather conditions would make a very interesting project. Become botanists. A worthy cause protecting the environment. I'm sure that seeing so many properties formulated a LIST of essentials, then the bonuses are additional. It would be good to keep the olive harvesters who know what they are doing, who take their cut and you take yours. My friends in Andalusia does that.. It's hard work of course seasonal and dependent on weather conditions what the harvest will amount to. It enriches your channel. I have never beenbored by the changes.. You are careful not to repeat information as some couples do. It's lovely. Thank you for sharing! Felicitations!

I now need a better van for wintry cold and high summer.; the heat is already within one week after winter and rain , HOT and DRY for the now! I hope they take up my idea which might be the idea also of others. I've got my own story waiting in the wings and I ought to crack on with that! !!! Life in France means domestic and land tasks get harder to control as one gets older. Like them though, putting roots down in Nature as well as in a home they could or do let out, having the freedom to go places and go home to family is very important for some people.

Y’all are so cute. It’s always fun to see city folks play guess the farm implements. Those ‘sticks’ all the same size are for tying up your plants. Run a string between two and you have a place for your grapevines, beans, peas, cucumbers, summer squash, etc to run. Probably your open patio frame was constructed for those grapes to vine and make a natural cover. That drag harrow is worth keeping. You can use a 4 runner as a tractor for gentleman farmer Nick. Don’t toss those old tools, bolts, wrenches, axes, etc. Soak them in some WD 40 and clean them up. Modern hand tools are so poorly made and break often. Since you are fenced, maybe you can rent some goats to do the clean up. Mulberries are delicious, but have a long stem. The way we ate them as kids was to put the berry in your mouth and pull the stem out first. Very juicy and stained many a shirt and shoes.

The land looks great. Love the well, and the building, and all the fruit trees. So I guess the generator is to power a water pump to fill the tank for irrigation? Can't wait to see the land in spring time. The water, the fruit trees and the gate/fencing really add to the value of the land. Before you leave Vinnie, make sure you connect up the solar to his starter battery, so then you will be able to drive him when you visit. Also might be a good idea to do the same with the generator starter battery.

I’ve watched the Indie Projects for years and from watching them I know that Portugal is very strict about keeping your land clear of dead brush etc. due to the high risk of fire. I remember watching them clearing the land up because it had to be done by a certain point of the year or you would get severe fines. It seems that there are people who you can hire out to do the work but they had some problems with people they hired so you have to be careful and watch over the work. Your land is beautiful. I don’t remember you mentioning orange trees, which was something the Indie Projects had and I loved how they could just walk up pick oranges and eat away. Congratulations on your new land. Enjoy .

Looks fab - and love that’s it’s fenced so Dizzy and Charlie have their own back garden 😊 And so many different trees!

The generator in the shed is to suck water from the well/s so you can water your trees etc. Its a water pump.

I think your la d is wonderful and if you put travel on hold far a little bit to at least get the land bushwacked and trimmed up, that wouldn't bother me either. What an exciting adventure you two are going on. Life is short! Enjoy,and I'll enjoy watching!!!

What an amazing variety of trees. You have struck gold! Thinking about the dogs, are ticks a problem there?

@gailh3048 3 дня назад

What a great piece of land with everything you wanted! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I’m happy to watch vlogs from the land rather than your travels although I’m sure you’ll be doing both. Good luck and congratulations!

You are living my dream. I wanted to buy a plot of land in Portugal, then we left the EU and my dream was shattered! I will be very interested in following your progress with this project.

@poczytamci3389 2 дня назад

what a perfect plot you have bought! very good decision, I love the fencing and my husband was drooling seeing all the tools that you got with the buildings... especially that diesel generator, what a great addition!! We live in Ireland and have an off grid home here, got three generators (two petrol one gas, diesel generator was too expensive for us at the time) - check your generator for fuel and oil, maintain it (check oil, just like you do in a car), run it and... enjoy, all these pumps that you mentioned, they'll need to be powered by something - the generator is the way to go :D. Also, if you stay on your land, and run out of your leisure batteries, for whatever reason, the generator will top them up good luck!!

What’s your soil pH? Add your coffee grounds to the soil around olive tree. Cheek your fence line, as if boars are going in, then the dogs can get out. Love the land, glad you found it. Blessing to the water. ❤✌🏼🙏🏼

@lindazmiarovich600 3 дня назад

Looks like a wonderful plot of land, the trees are a real treasure, and the cute building looks so rustic and cleaned up very nicely. How truly lucky for you. And of course, the doggies love it. So so so happy for you all......much love lz

I'm so happy for you guys, your own little big piece of land. I think its really nice and you'll do great things there when you come visit. Like a blank canvas in a way, up to you to make it home. Always lovely to see you two, you have a great attitude about life and always cheer me up :) Blessings to the fam.

@juliebrooke6099 2 дня назад

Great that it’s fenced. Make sure you check the land carefully for any old wells or bore holes that haven’t been capped and would be a hazard for the dogs. Get busy with the strimmer so that the land is less of a fire risk. Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Ahhh...I had one of those water tanks in spain....I dug out all around and built a wildlife pond encompassing it...and used the tank as a plunge pool

@theexPAWers 3 дня назад

Definitely a good plunge pool for the summer would be cool 😊

@bettinatucker8935 2 дня назад

I am so pleased for you both that you finally find the land you love. Can’t wait to see this new chapter in your lives unfolded. Because you’re going to make this so amazing like your other house. Let us know what your plans are for the building like where the kitchen is going to be the toilet obviously . It’s so exciting listening to you both talk about the trees and I can’t believe how many you’ve got there. Take care stay safe x

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Its beautiful. You did well. We bought land site unseen. It turned out great. We have moved and sold it since. Wish we had stayed. I got sick and we moved back to the UK. Enjoy. It looks amazing.

@simplylive2466 3 дня назад

Welcome to Portugal. Check with your Camara what electrical tools/strimmers you can now use until summer is over. You look like you are in the mid or south dry areas, so there are strict fire redtrictions, including cooking on your land with an open flame. Enjoy your new adventure.

@strawberryroad1347 2 дня назад

So exciting. I guess you could make a deal with a neighbor, that they keep the road nice/open, in exchange for them being able to let their herds graze on your land. Also let the grape wine grow up over the patio as a living eatable shade.

@ALsoutNabout 3 дня назад

Great to see you on your own piece of land, we were routing for you when you last visited Portugal and were looking at land . Your land looks very similar to ours , the advise I would give is to experience all the different seasons and months before doing major changes as each season brings its own challenges and rewards. Enjoy the sunrises and the sunsets , and Nick would have definitely spotted deer they are lots around soon you will hear them as we get towards mating season. Anyhow take your time and enjoy yourselves , perhaps we will bump into you in the future. AL

@paulahatch9955 3 дня назад

Hi guys! Wow it’s beautiful…you will never go hungry that’s for sure! All those fruit trees amazing! Congrats to both and your fur babies xxxx♥️

@sharoncrawford01 3 дня назад

What a fabulous piece of land you have got there! It's in a beautiful location, all of those incredible fruit/nut trees, the outbuildings in seemingly excellent condition, the well, fencing, everything. I am so glad it all worked out for you, and the gamble/wait paid off. The half-moon blade tool Nick found is a scythe (pronounced 'sythe', with a silent 'c'), which is used for cutting long grass, wheat etc. Hard work though! I am guessing 57 olive trees. Enjoy your little corner of paradise 🙂

@JenShea День назад

It’s going to be brilliant watching you clean it up and develop it. Parabéns! Assuming you know that you’ve got to clear parts & areas the land to help prevent wild fires.
