    Oh Clare, I'm so excited for you and all you've accomplished at Happenstance. I just love it. It is so peaceful. I actually got quite emotional as I watched the transformation as I was hearing the sounds of cars rushing by my house, roofers in other neighborhoods banging away, some other really loud engine making a racket, all drowning out the songs of the birds and whisper of the breeze. I long for the quiet solitude you have but property prices here are out of reach. I do the best I can in my urban environment and live my quiet life vicariously through people like you. Thank you for sharing the photos and update today. I loved it as I sipped on my cuppa. Stay safe and we'll see you in the next video!

      Thank you Jayne. 😊
      To find cheap land like mine you have to go where the majority don’t want to go 😃

      Yes, I'm sad to say I haven't found anywhere in idaho that people dont want to be. But I will continue to look.

      I looked for inexpensive (cheap) blocks of land and found this when there was a drought in the area. so it was cheaper. I also moved away from where I did live.
      Best wishes. Clare. 😊

    The transformation has been amazing, Clare! The energy and love you have put into the plants and land really shows. I remember your first cold winter in tiny tin hut, and how you turned it into a cozy nest so quickly. So beautiful to see so many things come to fruition now.

    So long as the piles don't give you a hernia while you're trying to shift them. Hahaha. I know which piles I prefer. Very useful ones too.
    Look at all the beauty you've created with your own hands!😍 each plant and structure tells the story and has your stamp all over it. I really love your place as a whole . Great job . Nice to see you again too. I hope you have a "this years wood pile " there somewhere. Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

    Beautiful as always!! Talk to me about 🍅 tomatoes please. Every year, I deal with something that always ruins mine. Birds, fungus, rain, etc. Yours are beautiful!! Determinate/Indeterminate? Grow vertical/horizontal? Soil? Full sun/sun-shade? I would love some advice. Maybe even a video on your process? I absolutely love watching..... 😁

    • @vancamerawoman7399
      @vancamerawoman7399  12 дней назад +1

      Hello 😊
      I grow a German potato leaf tomato called Deutscher Fleiss. They are intermediate.
      If there are fruit flies around I put exclusion bags on my tomatoes.
      I grow them anywhere there’s room really and they do well.
      I plant by the moon and by season for my climate and unless there’s way too much rain I do well.
      Hope that helps a little bit
      Clare

    My sister had piles when she was 17. It was a new thing for me...what were piles? However, some 35 years later I can understand her little anal problem. She grew into a woman of Royal blood, with a snoot as high as a Redwood. Funny, how your little stories stimulate memories! Thank you! 👍

    • @vancamerawoman7399
      @vancamerawoman7399  7 дней назад +1

      No, I did not know that. I have a folding one that’s pretty good for a nice hot bath once in a while. Otherwise it’s a quick shower as I’m on rainwater only. 😊
