Found your channel this evening am currently binge watching , my hubby and I moved to France in 2020 to do exactly the same , such a rewarding feeling seeing all your hard work coming to fruition , well done guy`s keep up the hard work xx
GREAT JOB, THE TRACTOR ATTACHMENTS WORK GREAT. THE SOIL IS OUTSTANDING!!!... CANT WAIT TO SEE THE MELONS START GROWING ALL OVER , YUMMM! BE BLESSED YA ALL!
You should be very proud of your garden, all your hard work will pay off with an abundance of food to harvest. Trixie seems to love spending time with you and Guffie has his own swimming pool🤣Always enjoy watching your videos so thanks for sharing
You won the lottery with your good soil and water source! Not by luck but by your choice of land. You both appear to be happy and thriving. I look forward to your channel each week.
Wow, what beautiful soil you have! You've really fallen up hill. 😊😊 For someone who has never ploughed before, you are a cracking job of it , well done my friend!!❤ I'll give you a shout to come and do mine, when I get it!!😊😊😊😊
So happy for you that you got the land all broken up with the tractor and power, then rotovatted. We call it tilling. The earth looks so rich and should grow a wonderful garden. Janice from Arkansas USA
That soil in the field look nice and healthy good luck with the melons great work on the house the stone work is so nice alot of hard work but worth it in the end that dog loves you both he looks so happy to see you both animals know the best people ☝
MY wife and I have been watching you two lovely people from the time you drove your caravan onto this lovely part of Portugal, you both are grafters total naturals Giedre you put us to shame you gardening work is just so natural , Andrius that rendering is a killer, but it will look great at the finish, we also love Portugal but down in the Algarve in the winter time did four year's after my retirement, now we caravanning around England and northern Europe. Well done your vlogs are spot on, and so nice to here a Cuckoo whilst you were planting the melons. Clive & Dawne from Surrey UK
@@portugalitisNot this year , we are off to southern Germany in June then Netherlands and Belgium its a lot more difficult now we are out of the EU, I am the only driver so i like to take my time,
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, you can use the tractor to pull the mimosa trees out of the ground Theo was doing that also with this tractor just with a peace of wire. Just a idea 💡.
Just came across your channel and I wish you the very best with your adventure on your land and I am so glad you are happy and the attachment will help you a lot. Have a lovely day.
I love your evening birdsong and the chit chat sounds, it’s all so tranquil. The land will give to you in abundance because of your hard work, you nurture it and it nurtures you in return. Take care of each other.
Olá. Gostei muito de o vosso vidio, e achei engraçado a maneira que vocês estarem a brincar um com o outro, é assim é que se deve ser, um casal ter tempo para brincar um com o outro. Continuem sempre assim, na vida deve ser sempre assim.
Great to see you with the plough,can’t wait to see how the melons do,yes I have seen that ruin for sale,forgot how much but it did come with a bit of land.keep up the good work.
In such a short time with hard work and now with the addition of your tractor, your ability to grow you own food, is a possible now. It will be a little easier working the soil before planting. The garden that you hand dug and planted is really looking good. I am very impressive with both of you, the hard work and the sheer desire to make it better. I know it is hot in Portugal already, so working outdoors in the heat mean starting early and then resting in the mid day. Love the hammocks in the shade, I too would spent time having an afternoon siesta until it gets cooler. The house is coming along, I am excited to see how you point the walls!. One step at a time, remember what it looked like a few months ago, you have done very well indeed!
Looking really good my friends, you deserve great comments and will have a bountiful harvest......how many melons??? Only 20!! If you planted 69 tomatoes, then I bet you planted 30 melons!! Hope to see you soon xx
Your garden looks beautiful. I hope you are buying some jars & researching how you are going to preserve all your goodies. The Eucalyptus looks very much like home. Cheers from Australia
This year is just experimental growing, will see what is growing best, and go from there, the beauty of Portugal is that the growing season is so long, there is no need to preserve a lot 👍
I just found your channel! So I am watching from the beginning when you showed us your property. What a beautiful place you both have and it looks like a lot of hard work a head of you!! Anyways Thank you for sharing this journey and so excited to see the end. From 🇺🇸
Lots of hard work but you both have everything looking so neat I think you did great on plowing for first time. Enjoyed and your little dog is so cute definitely loves the water, and so sweet that y’all are so kind & loving toward Trixie. The garden looks great, I used to raise a large garden for my family when I was younger, I am almost 76 so do not do that anymore, nothing better than home grown vegetables, but it is definitely hard work but worth it. Wishing you both a blessed week. Looking forward to your next video.
We are so happy for you guys ,lovely hard working couple with a can do attitude ,what you have achieved is certainly a labour of love ,wishing you all the best really enjoyable to watch your videos. I guess 25melons !!!
Great job you are doing there. THAT piece of pipe you are using there as an extension looks like asbestos. If so remove as soon as possible to local council tip.
Your gardens seem to be progressing well. Yes those weeds keep coming, it is an ongoing job. Gosh that Mimosa grows quickly. Is it possible to dig it out or pull the stumps out with the tractor? It will be nice when you get the verandah for your caravan since the weather is getting warmer.
Garden will need a shade built as well, as its getting hotter, regarding mimosas we want to keep some of them, pulling the roots will kill a lot of them 👍
Thank u for your video. It is nice to see you work as a team . You r both very hard working. Your land n the cultures u have started looking very prosperous. It is truly a nice piece of land. I can understand why u fell in love with it. Ur roses by the water tank look beautiful! I wish u continued success.
Another great video. You have both done a lot to your land already and your hard work shows. My wife and I are in the Azores and like watching Guff, he is a cutie. The plowing worked great to rip the sod for roto-tilling. If you were strictly plowing, after making the first pass then drive the tractor in the dead furrow (ditch) usually the right wheels and adjust the plow so it fills the dead furrow and so on always filling the ditch. If you need to reverse directions then flip the plow over moving the soil again to fill the ditch.
Thank you, at the moment we needed just to loosen the soil, so any ploughing was good because I was going to use frese on top of that anyways, but yeah in the future there will be something to learn
If you attach the chain from the plaw on the attachment from the trailer evertime you lift the warms the plaw change the position and you can keep go on the same way and keep the wheels on the bottom of the disch.
Amazing progress in your garden. The soil looks fertile and relatively easy to work, going by the texture and colour, with vegetables cropping in such a short time. You have a good range of tractor implements and clearly have got used to swapping them out. Please, please, please fix the power take off guard, it is very dangerous to use it uncovered, it could bring your new life and happiness to an abrupt end.
Both supplements have its own pto shaft, on a grass cutter its modern one, fresa came with the old type one, well its not much we can do about it at the moment ..
Great video as always guys!! 😊. What a wonderful veggie garden for sure, you'll have plenty to harvest in the coming months. It's really good that you have made sure to have all the implements you will need to look after your land and also make some money contracting out too!! Have a great week ahead xxx
I think we will be ok ... Guffy will show them who is the boss LOL .. I think they can feel that someone living here and they trying to avoid the area .. we didn't seen them so far .. but we seen where they sleep during the night and it's few farms away from us so we ok :)
@@portugalitis we are looking to take our UK car, but is so complicated. And cars in Portugal are so expensive compared to UK. But I guess it's less hassle to buy in Portugal! We'll see! Thank you and all the best on your new journey!
I worked as a contractor for residential construction for 40 years. I think you are opening a can of worms when you’re try to remove all of the existing exterior, instead you may consider only removing the loose material and just patch that back in , then just paint the entire exterior.. save so much time and effort and money..best of luck..PS don’t take construction advice from Indie Projects! 😂 he’s a nice guy but certainly not an experienced person in building trades..👍

You have really good soil. Good luck with your crops
It is very nice, thank you 🙏
What a game changer the tractor is for you, you have such a productive veg garden and I enjoyed the walk with the dogs, excellent video
It is, thank you 😊
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, you can use the tractor to pull the mimosa trees out of the ground Theo was doing that also with this tractor just with a peace of wire. Just a idea 💡.
We don’t really want to get rid of them completely, them boulders will not look sonnice then..
Maybe mulch your ground with straw to keep the moisture in the ground around your vegetables and fruits trees.
We will have to do this, getting hotter and hotter again
Just came across your channel and I wish you the very best with your adventure on your land and I am so glad you are happy and the attachment will help you a lot. Have a lovely day.
Thank you for joining us 🙏🤗
The Plow did great and her garden is wonderful
Thank you 🙏
I love your evening birdsong and the chit chat sounds, it’s all so tranquil. The land will give to you in abundance because of your hard work, you nurture it and it nurtures you in return. Take care of each other.
There are so many different birds around 👍thank you
Wow
Thank you 😊

Definitely in the future 😁
Great job………..

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How did u guess it???? You will definitely will be melon out when it will start growing!! As someone needs to eat them ;) and we like melon’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great you guys will survive! People have no idea what is coming.Hard working survivors so many have no clue what is on the horizon. Much love!

Thank you 😊
Looks great the new field. You both work so hard.. but,it was nice to see you relaxing in the hammocks.
It’s really hard to work after lunch when temperatures are over 30, so we developed a new habit 😁

Thank you, bit by bit we will learn what we need 🤗
Enjoy your week guys 🎉Amazing work done in your garden Looking forward to next video 👌
Thank you ☺️
A rope around a tree trunk will strangle the tree and kill it eventually.
If you are referring to the grape wine tied to the oak, then we will give another year and cut it off, it seems to be dead
Are you planning to run a business selling your vegetables and melons. Your soil looks fabulous.
After we see what grows best we might do it, this year is just plain experiment
You might be sitting right on the 'Iberian Massif' - a pre-Cambrian block. Depends on your location.
Not sure but rock plate is massive 👍🙂
Great job you are doing there. THAT piece of pipe you are using there as an extension looks like asbestos. If so remove as soon as possible to local council tip.
Possibly is, will get it sorted 👍

The garden looks good. Healthy ground. Do you plan to have pigs? With the lot off melons you plant. Love from South Africa
Not in a nearby future, we just didn’t expect for so many melons to come up never grown them before 😁 all the best!
Garden does like great, why so many tomatoes, do u store for winter, ur strategy would be helpful
Because they were so cheap… 😂
That plough is a game changer. How long are you giving yourselves to renovate the barn?
At first the plans were to move in before winter, but paperwork might take until July to get sorted, so no idea really
I worry about the wild boars..
