After we moved back reluctantly to England in summer 2020 from Spain after 17 years, my youngest couldn't fall asleep without the white noise of a fan. Helped in the interim by the ambience & positivity of channels like yours we're poised to head back south after our northern sojourn.☀☀☀Thanks so much for your wonderful content.
I enjoyed the whole video but I LOVED when Tara was walking down to the garden and all the chickens were trotting along beside her. I'm falling in love with chickens 🥰
I keep my Sundays simple: I spot a new video from the Newbys and I like it before watching as I already know it's going to be great. I then make a fresh coffee and sit back to enjoy the latest instalment - and it never disappoints. Thanks for sharing such consistently engaging content!
John I’ve been meaning to say for a while, YOUR LAWN IS A TRIUMPH. Tara basil loves the sun, it especially loves being watered at midday and will reward you with heavenly scent. If you’re struggling to grow from seed, buy fresh cut basil with stems at the supermarket and place in a glass of water on a sunny window sill. It will soon grow roots and you can transplant.
I absolutely LOVED this episode!! So good to see you chilling as a family with friends, and enjoying the fruits of your labours! John - BEAUTIFUL lawn!! And Tara - very envious of you harvesting your produce and cooking/sharing with friends! Life couldn’t get much better?! And as for Crusoe and Sawyer… just gorgeous!! Lots of love to you all xx ❤️
Thanks Teresa, we always love hearing from you. We had the best day with family and friends on the lawn, was exactly what we needed. Thanks so much for watching friend, sending you lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
I loved watching Crusoe open the chicken coop, Fifi getting out and crowed, then the chickens... it was a beautiful scene❤ Crusoe amazes me all the time. A wonderful day for a fantastic lunch with friends in a beautiful garden👌🤩🌞🌸🌿😍
Basil seedlings are very prone to damping off. I found my germination rate improved by mixing perlite with the compost, sowing the seeds on the surface and covering finely with perlite only. This keeps the surface just at the right amount of moisture. Gotta love basil!!
Dear John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer. Thanks for showing us around the homestead on a "normal" Sunday. It is fun to see Nicole and Nardus make a guest appearance. Greetings to all. Warm regards from Santiago
Oh no, it's all over already! I was just getting into, and enjoying the picnic. It felt like I was there with you all, and on such a beautiful lawn! Great job John your hard work shows. The farm garden is looking, and producing wonderfully, many meals to come from there in the future! Thank you so much for including us.😊 Have a wonderful week. Untill next Wednesday God bless.❤
Good morning to my favorite Family the Newby’s! Love seeing a typical day on the beautiful farm! The vegetables look wonderful as well as the lawn. So happy eco -flow is sponsoring you Guy’s ..congrats!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
The chickens following Tara just were adorable as they mimicked earlier when Crusoe followed John. It seems you had a delightful Sunday with friends! I’m looking forward to seeing what your plans are for the derelict house, especially with how amazing the little house turned out.
Your hard work in creating that glorious green lawn paid off. The kids running and you enjoying an amazing picnic is the reward. So good to get a peek into the normal routine of farm life. The vege garden looks amazing.💗
It has indeed Martine, I am so proud of John and what he has been able to do with the lawn. We loved sharing some insight into our lives with you. Thanks so much for watching ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
What a fun happy episode this is !!! Just love your day on the farm. ! And I love broad beans ! Crusoe was brilliant and funny. It was a good day. Thank you Newby family ! 🙏💕🌷
That lawn is just looking spectacular!! It’s amazing how much you’ve accomplished in one year!! Thanks for sharing it all with us! Sending love from Nashville 💕🥳
Thank you again for introducing us to "LOQUATS"!!! We now have a Vista White and a Golden Nugget planted and we have 25 wild Loquat seeds from Florida. Incidentally, Golden Nugget is not self pollinating and the Vista White is self pollinating. THANK YOU
Hi. I love your family and cannot wait for the new episodes each week! I am in South Africa on a farm in a cold area of the country. I start my basil in a 5 litre water container (recycle...😊) with the top third cut off. I fill it with seedling mix and sow the seeds quite thick, water them well and close the lid. I tape the plastic container with clear tape and leave it like that in a light, not too sunny spot. It creates its own greenhouse and protects the seedlings from the wind and cold. When the seedlings are larger, they are strong enough to transplant directly into the garden. I hope you have lots of basil to go with all the lovely tomatoes you planted.😃🍅🌱
Hi Lizl, great to hear from you friend. Thanks so much for sharing your advice on basil, I will definitely try it out. Your support means so much to us 🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
Basil doesn't like water from above. It will get huge if you just pour it over a bowl at the bottom of the roots so that it can soak up the water through the roots. He also likes distance to the next plant, not planting too close. I love your videos and say hello from southern Germany / Tuebingen 
How nice the garden has become, nice grass, a nice place to meet your friends😊...I have just found them on RUclips...how cool is the opportunity of making new friends, all in the same life style ❤
Tara, you dear heart are a beauty. Love your style and dress. You are a quite the chef. The setting for the outdoor party is magazine worthy. Keep photos, recipes, and the children playing in the garden. I see a coffee table book in the making. Kids are so cute. Your friends are so nice. John, this 66-year young lady is kinda crushing on you, cutie pie. Ha! 😍😂😂😁😁❤❤ Love, hugs, and hearts to all.
The views from your farm are breathtaking! No better place for a picnic. The garden looks great too. Here in Alberta Canada, we are experiencing smoke from wildfires, hoping for rain.
What an amazing picnic!! Loved this chilled vlog guys 🤗 and couldn’t stop myself from laughing at the chickens behind Tara wanting the food! They are so smart! 😂❤
When it comes to Basil u need to pick the leaves. U have 2 starter leaves and then comes the 2 big green leaves with two small in the middle, U need to pick the two big leaves and leave the small in the middle, This gives the plant the urge to produce more!
Basil is a Mediterranean plant, loves the sun. If your nights have warmed up - put it outside. Mine have only just sprouted. I have separated them into a small clump in individual medium pots. I see you have had the patience to put individual seeds in a seed tray. Well done
Wonderful moments of morning java, picking garden goodies, sprucing up the lawn, and followed with a great Sunday afternoon lunch with family and good friends! What could be more wonderful than that?! Love it!! You always turn up with lovely content! 🥰🙏🏼
So love your painting of the bird on your bedroom wall 😍. Im growing French dwarf beans, potatoes, strawberries , radishes, onions and climbing beans. I do tepees with bamboo canes for my beans . Brillant excellent vlog again and the view from the farm is breath taking x
I've found the easiest way to grow basil is to root some from a supermarket in a glass of water and then pot them up individually. pinch out the tops and grow them on into a little bush (or separate out a pot plant and grow individually, not in a clump). Lovely video again.
Hey y'all, what a great feeling to see some of the hard work and effort pay off by looking real nice. Sharing the fruits of your labor with friends, family or neighbors. Sitting back to relax and reflect over the successful efforts. I did rather like all the eco flow products today. I was able to mow my lawn for the first time this year as we are warming up into spring now. Peace and blessing for a safe magical summer finding time for making memories.
Wow ! That Eco flow a\c and heater is a game changer for you for the summer. Plus, you can move it from room to room wherever you need it. Absolutely perfect for a family with young children. Then when it doesn't seem like it could get any better, they come up with that fridge. I would have loved that in my camping days!
Loved the vlog and the Ecoflow fridge/freezer and ice maker looked brilliant. Loved seeing Tara walking down the farm with all the chickens behind her.❤️❤️❤️
SO ENJOYED SEEING YOU ALL CELEBRATE YOUR SPRING PICNIC ON JOHN'S MAGNIFICENT 💕 LAWN ! ! ! WHAT A GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL AND HEAVENLY 😇 SPOT TARA 💕 ! ! ! JUST A SUGGESTION THOUGH RE: YOUR STUNNING PICNIC SPOT ..... AT A LATER STAGE .... ONE COULD ALMOST SEE/IMAGINE YOU ALL HAVING A MUSIC CONCERT THERE ? ? ? SIMPLY A THOUGHT THAT CROSSED MY MIND ! ! ! HOWEVER, ANOTHER OBSERVATION TARA 💕 .... THIS PICNIC MUST HAVE TAKEN PLACE ... JUST PRIOR TO "THEE FAMOUS DARLING LITTLE MASTER" ~ CRUSOE 💕 HAVING HAD HIS WONDERFUL HEAD OF HAIR CUT INTO A PROPER LITTLE BOY'S HAIRCUT (AS SEEN IN YOUR "TINY 🏠 HOUSE" RENOVATION VIDEO) ? ? ?
We had such a fun day with family and friends Candace. A music concert sounds fun, will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks for sharing that with us ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Good morning and Happy Sunday, and this is what life is all about, family, friends around a table sharing good food, good wine and laughter with the children playing all around. The fruits of all your labours to be enjoyed. Loved to see the Scotters family, your cousin and her fiance and all the children playing on John's lawn. Question those eggs are they from your chickens???? Enjoy your life in sunny Portugal.🏡🇵🇹💐🦋🌺🐣🐓🐔💖👏👏P.S.: basil loves the sun and water need to have rich soil too.
Good morning Joanne and happy Sunday! We loved this picnic and being able to share it with friends and with all of you too. Those eggs are unfortunately not from our chickens friend but we are hoping we will get some soon! ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Great video! The lawn is looking absolutely beautiful!! So happy to see your community together and enjoying a beautiful picnic! Things are coming together for you. I love it. Thanks for your hard work in making a another great video and bringing us along.
That so cute watching Crusoe with the chickens 🙂 It’s nice to spend the day with friends and enjoy yourselves ❤ Everything is looking so amazing 🤩 Thanks for sharing your day with us ❤🥰
Having just come inside from doing battle with my own plant nemesis (brambles in my case rather than bamboo) I really appreciated watching your picnic unfolding and as the sun has decided to make an appearance after being quite overcast this morning here in Devon, I may just have to take my tea outside and pretend my lawn here is as lovely as yours. That lawn is just stunning, John! I have never tried to grow Basil from seed before so can't offer any tips for that, but if you can get a few plants from the supermarket, I find potting them up into slightly larger pots when you get them home, and then taking the tops out reguarly encourages them to do well - You might find the leaves are slightly smaller this way, but as you get heaps more leaves in the long run it works out fine, plus, you can very easily root the tops you take out in just water and then plant them for more plants and so it goes on! *Hugs * to you all! xx
It’s great to just soak up a day in the life of the Newbys! After all your hard work, a picnic on the lawn ( with stripes!!) was such a lovely way to relax with friends and family…idyllic!
How nice to have a picnic spread on your large expanse of green lawn. It almost seems like a lost art, like those old victorian photos of people in their best attire picnicking or playing crochet. Garden fresh & cold beer certainly helps.
Pump the water into black buckets on roof during the day in evening have hot water to use. Or for each evening can have outside hot water shower that way.
Good evening Newbys I always enjoy watching your Sunday night videos before I go to bed. John I love a freshly mowed lawn. You must spend alot of time nurturing it. It's perfect for the 2 boys to play on. Tara your vegetable garden is coming along magnificently. In no time you will be self sufficient.
Thank you for sharing your Sunday evening with us Sandra. John does spend a lot of time out on the lawn maintaining it friend. Your support means so much to us ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
I just discovered your videos. I have really enjoyed them. I watched the one that you are questioning whether you should leave RUclips. I am retired and had an office job for 50 years. Cooped up in an office. Don't put so much pressure on yourselves. Take small vacations a week at a time. Gosh you are so fortunate to have traveled like you already have. So many of us cannot afford that lifestyle here in the USA. I understand you have worked hard and have to continue to work hard on your farm but you have your freedom of not having to punch a clock.
Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure Susan. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday ❤️😊🙏🏼🏡🇵🇹
Barefoot on the grass.... Oh dearest Crusoe, for a minute I was sent back home in a little aldeia of Portugal, the one i still call home. Tanks you love.
Olá Newbys! We drink the same coffee! "The lawn is very precious to me!" and it has to be because it looks just amazing (I said it a thousand times)! So cool to see you relaxing! As we say here in Portugal, "Nem só de trabalho vive o homem" ("Not only from work does the men live") Beijinhos 🌿
Hi you guys, you' ve come a l long way, congratulations! Tara, your beans came out great!!! I want to tell you that the whole husk with the bean are étable and delicious, cooked the Greek way, cut in small pieces in a frying pan with garlic and onion bay leaf, eventually fresh tomatoes! Eventually the husk becomes soft then it's a savory side dish! So glad you have reached 100,000 viewers! Bravo🎉
Hello, frying garlic in olive oil and sautéing this fava in the shell is delicious, and you can also add parsley and cilantro and lemon 🍋 when eating 😋😋. Beautiful week for everyone. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 🥰❤🎉😊
I just find you guys and I love all of you your life the farm your boys great life I'm portuguese but I live in Canada for 53 years but Portugal is always my country snd is in my heart always good luck and I keep watching your fantastic videos what peaceful and healthy life thank you for sharing it with us ❤❤❤
Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure Francelina. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday ❤️🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Kia Ora from New Zealand 💚 It is raining here again so I am enjoying your sunny day vicariously! Basil needs consistent heat to germinate- the temperature may still be cooling off at night. You can get a seed raising heat mat from a nursery or a home brew heat mat which will do the same job. Failing that try a warm spot in the house like on top of the fridge. The other thing is that it may be getting too hot in the day and drying out the seed pots, Try covering them until germination to keep the moisture levels consistent. Good luck!
For the basil, it needs really warm soil and blasting direct sunlight to sprout, so that's the first thing... it looks like your greenhouse has a lot of shade, and that could be impacting the sprouting. The second thing is that once you have basil plants growing, it's very easy to root basil in some water and make new plants that have a big head start. And if you keep cutting back the flowering stalks you can keep basil growing almost indefinitely. So even if you have a slow start, I wouldn't worry too much. You'll have tons of basil in no time.

Hi Newbys!!! I just love your videos and just recently found you through Raising Voyagers. I’ve had surgery and have been bed bound for 2 weeks with one more to go. I fell in love with your story and your family! I had to go back and watch from beginning. You’re the only thing I’m watching nonstop!! Keep up the good work, the love and the inspiration. Love, your biggest fan !!!
Hi Cheryl, yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure. So sorry to hear about your surgery, we all sending you lots of love and hugs. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday 😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
@@TheNewbys thank you so very much! My husband and I are a lot like you and John. We bought an old farmhouse in Massachusetts, USA, it’s 264 yrs old. We’ve renovated the house and continually work the land. We have seasons of love with blueberry harvests in the summer and tap our own trees for maple syrup in the winter. We’ve recently added chickens to the farm. My John is like your John, a woodworker craftsman at heart! Watching your family is like looking back on our 25 yr journey on our homestead! It may seem daunting at times, but the story you will have is irreplaceable. I wish you all peace, love and joy ahead!
Thanks for a lovely insight into a day on the farm. WITH you, that's how good your vlogs are - as if we are there with you. As a South African, forget about the Ecoflow fridge for the Kruger. It's more like, bring on the Ecoflow for the potential week-long (or more) blackouts we are faced with 😢😮 Gotta love our situation/adventure...!? 🙈 Good looking lawn, that 👌🏼👍🏼 not to mention the veggie garden and Joao's handiwork 😎 Have a good week 🙏🏼😍💞
We can just imagine how handy the Ecoflow products will be for you in South Africa Tessa, we are so sorry to hear about all the load shedding! How frustrating! Thanks so much for watching friend ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Another great video. You guys are rocking it. Enjoy life. Work hard. Live life. Fill your life with love...before you know it, it's gone. What a legacy. Much blessings.

Wow that frig is increditable.
😢😢😢
I bought an eco flow air conditioner last year and I have to vent it outside. Is yours a newer model?
Don't make it too theatrical and too staged! People want to see real stuff. Otherwise they can go to theater! My 2 cents worth!

Chickens are most entertaining to watch and are good companions
That impressed me too! Those chickens following her.
Yes! Me too. I also loved that moment when chickens were following her like pets. ❤

I love the season for picnics! A fun way to be with friends, family, and of course, children. Your egg and asparagus muffins look delicious!
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Adorei ver as duas famílias juntas num Picnik, logo as duas que eu sigo no RUclips,🎉 parabéns 🥳 estava tudo fantástico 👏🌞🍻🥂🍾

Everything is so wonderful and genuine, much love to you and your family. Love how the chickens follow you around like a one's dog would.
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
That rooster is so impressive. He is huge!!!! But so cute. I love it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how the chickens and rooster follow you, that is really lovely.
Great video! The lawn is looking absolutely beautiful!! So happy to see your community together and enjoying a beautiful picnic! Things are coming together for you. I love it. Thanks for your hard work in making a another great video and bringing us along.
We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Laura! Had the best day with family and friends. We loved having you join us today, thank you ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
That so cute watching Crusoe with the chickens 🙂 It’s nice to spend the day with friends and enjoy yourselves ❤ Everything is looking so amazing 🤩 Thanks for sharing your day with us ❤🥰
🐔🏡❤️🇵🇹
Sooo beautiful...thanks for inviting us along to your evening do...amazingly gorgeous...and, WOW, that EcoFlow portable fridge-freezer rocks!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you for watching Shauna, we love hearing from you. The Wave 2 is absolutely amazing, it was the perfect thing for the picnic ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Having just come inside from doing battle with my own plant nemesis (brambles in my case rather than bamboo) I really appreciated watching your picnic unfolding and as the sun has decided to make an appearance after being quite overcast this morning here in Devon, I may just have to take my tea outside and pretend my lawn here is as lovely as yours. That lawn is just stunning, John!
I have never tried to grow Basil from seed before so can't offer any tips for that, but if you can get a few plants from the supermarket, I find potting them up into slightly larger pots when you get them home, and then taking the tops out reguarly encourages them to do well - You might find the leaves are slightly smaller this way, but as you get heaps more leaves in the long run it works out fine, plus, you can very easily root the tops you take out in just water and then plant them for more plants and so it goes on!
*Hugs * to you all! xx
Lovely to see you enjoying all the results of your hard work with your friends.🎉🏖️🌿
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
It’s great to just soak up a day in the life of the Newbys! After all your hard work, a picnic on the lawn ( with stripes!!) was such a lovely way to relax with friends and family…idyllic!
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
With the chronic loadshedding here in South Africa, I think we'll all need Ecoflow, sooner than later. Love watching you all.
We can just imagine how much it would help you in South Africa Shana. Thanks so much for watching and for all your support ❤️🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
That lawn is awesome, and together with the view and plants, it's the focal point of beauty on your farm.
❤️🙏❤️
How nice to have a picnic spread on your large expanse of green lawn. It almost seems like a lost art, like those old victorian photos of people in their best attire picnicking or playing crochet. Garden fresh & cold beer certainly helps.
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
To see Crusoe run and crash on the grass, then see him get up like, "All good. It's just grass." was heart warning. 🤗
Such happy kids.
Great to have a relaxing day in the sun with the kids running around and beers on the go.
We had the best day with family and friends Christopher ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Pump the water into black buckets on roof during the day in evening have hot water to use. Or for each evening can have outside hot water shower that way.
That is a very clever idea Owen! Thanks for sharing friend 😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Good evening Newbys I always enjoy watching your Sunday night videos before I go to bed.
John I love a freshly mowed lawn. You must spend alot of time nurturing it. It's perfect for the 2 boys to play on.
Tara your vegetable garden is coming along magnificently. In no time you will be self sufficient.
Thank you for sharing your Sunday evening with us Sandra. John does spend a lot of time out on the lawn maintaining it friend. Your support means so much to us ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Oh, and I just LOVE living vicariously through you and your beautiful family! Bravo!!!
Thanks so much Samantha, we love having you as part of our journey ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
Basil like moist soil not overly wet and plenty of sunlight love to see you all doing great on the farm your all very talented ❤👍🤗🤗🤗
🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
I just discovered your videos. I have really enjoyed them.
I watched the one that you are questioning whether you should leave RUclips.
I am retired and had an office job for 50 years. Cooped up in an office.
Don't put so much pressure on yourselves. Take small vacations a week at a time. Gosh you are so fortunate to have traveled like you already have. So many of us cannot afford that lifestyle here in the USA.
I understand you have worked hard and have to continue to work hard on your farm but you have your freedom of not having to punch a clock.
Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure Susan. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday ❤️😊🙏🏼🏡🇵🇹
Good morning from the Caribbean, Newbys!!! What a feast!❣️🙏🏻❣️
Good morning Kathy ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
What an idyllic day - I just love that lawn area.
Barefoot on the grass.... Oh dearest Crusoe, for a minute I was sent back home in a little aldeia of Portugal, the one i still call home. Tanks you love.
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Oh my God, Crusoe is so beautiful coming with his wheelbarrow ready for work! 😍 I adore all of you!
About the basil... just plant it in a sunny place outside, no greenhouse needed, and give it some water every day. It will grow beautifully.
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
YAY. Love this weeks vlog with the daily on the farm. Always love when when other RUclips vloggers visit. It is a bonus for us viewers 😂😂.
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
The yard looks so wonderful. Makes one want to run around like the kids. Love your dress Tara!
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Dreams do come true , a beautiful afternoon with friends on you beautiful lawn ❤️
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
John your lawn looks as if it's a picture from a home and garden magazine , just beautiful
Thank you Ella, I am very proud of the lawn 😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
I smile so much watching your videos.
You guys rock!!
CHEERS!!!
The clip of Crusoe climbing in the chicken coupe reminded me of a photo of me when I was 2 climbing in the rabbit hut to get him out 😊❤
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Olá Newbys!
We drink the same coffee!
"The lawn is very precious to me!" and it has to be because it looks just amazing (I said it a thousand times)!
So cool to see you relaxing! As we say here in Portugal, "Nem só de trabalho vive o homem" ("Not only from work does the men live")
Beijinhos 🌿
Hello Sofia, ah we love that coffee! It is so good. We had the best time with family and friends. Thanks for all your support friend ❤️❤️❤️
Hi you guys, you' ve come a l
long way, congratulations! Tara, your beans came out great!!! I want to tell you that the whole husk with the bean
are étable and delicious, cooked the Greek way, cut in small pieces in a frying pan with garlic and onion bay leaf, eventually fresh tomatoes! Eventually the husk becomes soft then it's a savory side dish! So glad you have
reached 100,000 viewers! Bravo🎉
Hello, frying garlic in olive oil and sautéing this fava in the shell is delicious, and you can also add parsley and cilantro and lemon 🍋 when eating 😋😋. Beautiful week for everyone. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 🥰❤🎉😊

Kia Ora from New Zealand 💚 It is raining here again so I am enjoying your sunny day vicariously!
Basil needs consistent heat to germinate- the temperature may still be cooling off at night. You can get a seed raising heat mat from a nursery or a home brew heat mat which will do the same job. Failing that try a warm spot in the house like on top of the fridge. The other thing is that it may be getting too hot in the day and drying out the seed pots, Try covering them until germination to keep the moisture levels consistent. Good luck!
🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
For the basil, it needs really warm soil and blasting direct sunlight to sprout, so that's the first thing... it looks like your greenhouse has a lot of shade, and that could be impacting the sprouting. The second thing is that once you have basil plants growing, it's very easy to root basil in some water and make new plants that have a big head start. And if you keep cutting back the flowering stalks you can keep basil growing almost indefinitely. So even if you have a slow start, I wouldn't worry too much. You'll have tons of basil in no time.
Thanks so much for the advice on planting basil Flibberty, I always love learning from the community here 🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
It is good to see you are finally enjoying your hard work.
The lawn is superb
Getting food from vegetable garden you planted is extra powerful.
Enjoy
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
The farm has come so far! Tara your garden looks amazing - what a great video. Thank you 😊

Good morning Julianne! We hope you enjoy today's episode ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Newbys!!! I just love your videos and just recently found you through Raising Voyagers. I’ve had surgery and have been bed bound for 2 weeks with one more to go. I fell in love with your story and your family! I had to go back and watch from beginning. You’re the only thing I’m watching nonstop!! Keep up the good work, the love and the inspiration. Love, your biggest fan !!!
Hi Cheryl, yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure. So sorry to hear about your surgery, we all sending you lots of love and hugs. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciative of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday 😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
@@TheNewbys thank you so very much! My husband and I are a lot like you and John. We bought an old farmhouse in Massachusetts, USA, it’s 264 yrs old. We’ve renovated the house and continually work the land. We have seasons of love with blueberry harvests in the summer and tap our own trees for maple syrup in the winter. We’ve recently added chickens to the farm. My John is like your John, a woodworker craftsman at heart! Watching your family is like looking back on our 25 yr journey on our homestead! It may seem daunting at times, but the story you will have is irreplaceable. I wish you all peace, love and joy ahead!
You could vacuum seal and freeze things to use in the winter months when they’re out of season. Or give some to the chickens.
🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
Thanks for a lovely insight into a day on the farm. WITH you, that's how good your vlogs are - as if we are there with you.
As a South African, forget about the Ecoflow fridge for the Kruger. It's more like, bring on the Ecoflow for the potential week-long (or more) blackouts we are faced with 😢😮 Gotta love our situation/adventure...!? 🙈
Good looking lawn, that 👌🏼👍🏼 not to mention the veggie garden and Joao's handiwork 😎
Have a good week 🙏🏼😍💞
We can just imagine how handy the Ecoflow products will be for you in South Africa Tessa, we are so sorry to hear about all the load shedding! How frustrating! Thanks so much for watching friend ☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Another great video. You guys are rocking it. Enjoy life. Work hard. Live life. Fill your life with love...before you know it, it's gone. What a legacy. Much blessings.
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
Phoenix AZ here, Basil is hard to start but once it gets started grows fast. They say full sun, but here, partial shade is appreciated. Love you guys.
🌱❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
Now that looked like a grand picnic on the freshly mown lawn and the food apart from the broad beans looked YUMMO!!
☀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹🏡
That lawn is beautiful, you should be so pleased with it,!
