    You are wonderful and unique parents. I love to see how you incorporate your daughter into all the activities you do, and how active and supportive she is. It is a joy to watch all your videos. Thank you for sharing.

    We have 5 children so understand the toddler challenge. Slows progress but worth it for both of you!

      5 sounds like a challenge! I'm hoping that when she gets older she can help more than be in the way, kind of like with Justin Rhodes' kids (just maybe not so many)

    l noticed last time you only put 1 seed in each pot, try 2 next time and take out the weak one if they both germinate, l do that with parsnips and sunflowers etc. dont be in too much of a rush to plant out as young ones are attractive to slugs etc whereas a more mature and healthy one can survive better, also some need to be 'hardened off' as going from a hot greenhouse out to open ground can be a shock and therefore weaken them.

      Puck would go crazy if she had to be indoors all the time. I'm imagining a tomato forest she can go into this summer and eat away :)

    Hi Lea, hebben jullie al een po box? En een wish list? Dan kunnen mensen helpen met dingen sturen van jullie wish list.

    🇬🇧 I didn't find it joyful when you were talking to us about what you have planted and in the background Puck was swinging what looked like an adze or pickaxe high up and just missing her head.
    If the roots are rounď the edge just gently tease them out of the soil.

    Do you worry about your child around scorpions, snakes, spiders, centipedes or those deadly caterpillars I’ve read about in Portugal? I’d be pretty scared for them. Have you seen many yourself since you’ve been there?

    • @ourportuguesehomestead
      @ourportuguesehomestead  4 года назад

      Nature is not so dangerous as some might make you believe, I’ve never heard of poisonous caterpillars! Good to remember they are usually more scared of you than you of them.
