Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

Bea’s Mystery Garden, everyday is a surprise.
It was so nice to see the off grid property again. I have missed it. Hope the new owners will be You Tubers. Thanks for sharing!
Off grid property is just beautiful. I wish someone would buy it soon . It needs another loving owner. I would love to live there I went through the whole build with y'all, and feel like I do live there. I'm going to miss it😢
Bea, I love your style of gardening. When the mystery plants grow you will be surprised by what they turn out to be. That adds an element of fun to gardening!
A cute little sign that says Bee’s Mystery Garden would be so adorable!
Bee, so nice to see you back and doing the introduction, and to see the cats enjoying themselves.
Those bits of green metal pole/tube might actually be handy in Bee's garden beds to create support for growing tomatoes or beans.
I think wood or bamboo might be better due the extreme sun and heat there. :-)
Square Foot gardening is amazing. But Bee's squirrel gardening sounds more fun.
Your friend John is a strong guy, seeing him lift those rocks was impressive!
Good work everyone!
Hugs from 🇨🇦
I'm also from CA, northern. I love Bee and Theo and all their projects, and their kids.
Oh my gosh John is a hard worker!!!! You are very lucky Theo to have him. So enjoy your videos of you and Bea’s adventures.
So glad to see you both have a mic so many Portugal RUclipsrs don't! The off-grid property is looking really good, someone will be lucky to buy it!
John reminds me of Mr Green Jeans on Captain Kangaroo. This is good. You are all making such a big difference in the appearance of the off grid place. I hope whoever buys your place will love it as much as you and many of your followers do. You both look like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Stay happy and healthy.😊
More of John please... forever! He is hilarious! ❤
Loved the Grand Tour of Bee’s Garden 🪴 👩🏻🌾🐝🌞😀
So much progress in such a short period of time at the old homestead . You guys are killing it. Having a mesh mash of different things growing in your garden is simply having fun with
it. That's what it's all about. All the best 🙏💗🙏 guys. from Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Theo and Bee, your eyes shine with life and happiness. It’s so uplifting to see. 💖🍓🐝
I always say, "my gardening is an experiment". So, Bea, I'm right there with you. Theo, someone will be truly blessed to own your property.❤
Chaos gardening is awesome. Strawberries will just take over. They seem to loves that area.
Great Progress loved Bee taking us round her garden, John was a great character and Theo amazing work. ❤️💙💙
Brilliant! Reuse & repurpose.
❤ the garden.
your garden style is just like mine Bee 🙂 the off grid property is looking great Theo I know whoever buys it will be really happy knowing how much y'all loved it_ put a lot of love time & energy into making it a wonderful & beautiful home 💖
In art history I remember studying the “English” garden… Bea you are spot on! Excellent lil herb garden! Let the dill and spinach go to seed. Save the seeds! You will Always have dill and spinach!
Fresh dill in sour cream or goats cheese- is so good!
LOL, John is a riot, and I'm loving Bee's Garden Tour. Hugs to all from Maine, USA.
Oh it's fun to see the projects be completed. Given all the obstacles you faced, it's lovely to see you pass it on in the sort of shape you would have wanted. I love the idea of chaos gardening! That's sort of what I do. I think this year I'm going to get potatoes to survive! Cross your fingers. I hope your gardens come out nicely as well. Happy Monday.
Bea grow what you want it’s fun to see something to come alive
I am going to adopt the idea of ‘squirrel gardening’ for my balcony this year. Except I am already behind so perhaps I am a grasshopper.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and Theo and working on Miracle Mountain and the off grid property
I really like that off-grid property.
It’s good to see you taking care of it, and finishing up the left over projects.
Whoever buys this place is surely going to love it.
Best Of Luck!
Dear Bee.. look up clove spray for a natural bug deterrent. It doesn’t hurt your garden, is totally natural and it’s the smell that repels insects from eating your veg garden.
Much Love ❤️
I love to see your garden. Chaos gardening is a wonderful title. Nature is chaos,, look how beautiful that is. The main thing is you enjoy it. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a fun garden project you have Bee, definitely full of beautiful surprises. I love it when random things grow that you actually haven't even planted because a rogue seed finds its way there. So much progress at the offgrid property. Theo and John are doing a great job there. It's looking great.
I love watching you Bee! You are such a free spirit. So glad you are doing well!
Bee your garden is looking beautiful. The off grid property is looking lovely. You both are good stewards of the land. 😊😊😊
I really hope you can put up a drone and show us the birds view of the property, that I am sure, many will love to see, thank you, Light and love to you both.
Hi, Bee and Theo. I really like the back and forth reporting on Miracle Mountain and the off-grid property. Bee your garden is coming along nicely… I love the snap dragons. Theo, good work on moving the stuff around on the off-grid property… I’m glad that you have John helping you. See you next week❤️❤️
Bee I am loving the way you garden 🌹🌹🌹💐🌹🌹🌹
Theo you do think outside the box great tile crushing
John so funny 😂😂
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
What I learnt about strawberries Bea is while it is fruiting and it put runners out cut the runners do not let them grow until after the strawberries have ended their season then let them grow their runners and then you can root them up into the soil next to the plant or pots and once established in the /soil/pot you cut the runner and this way you get more strawberries. Have a lovely day.
One little hint on gardening Bea. I learned this the hard way. Look up companion gardening on-line. Some plants do very well planted close to each other; some do terrible. I once planted tomatoes and Brussel's sprouts near each other and neither of these did well at all that year. Also, planting marigolds to keep the aphids away may work for some, but not only did my parsley get aphids; so did the marigolds I planted with it.. Go figure. Have fun.
Theo, the off-grid is looking marvelous, and it is good you have neighbors who you can work with when you need help.
Your garden looks really great Bea‼️👍😊I really enjoyed being with both of you, just moving around the stone barn property, seeing places we got used to seeing when you made those videos‼️You are really doing a LOT of work getting the property ready to sell‼️👍😊. Have a GREAT WEEK👍😊❤️‼️
Good morning, our good afternoon, how your folks doing today looks like everybody's having a wonderful day after catch you later.
This is wonderful. I just came across your channel, but my dream has been to live a similar lifestyle, having a cottage and live in more balanced life with nature and cherries the simpler life overall. Thank you again for making these videos and having chance to see your journey. Love it and staying a fan. All the best.
I just posted this silly poem on twitter but I know many have abandoned that app (for valid reasons) so I thought I would also post it here. 😊
The roof is made of sky
It looks like a heart
If you can fly
Filled with wonder
For those seeking
To plunder
(Because literally)
No one knows
What grows
In
Bee’s Mystery Garden
Hey guys. That's awesome after you put all the hard work in, the homesteads are looking great. You guys are doing so well. Theo, hope you're doing better with your health. I think Bee, you're looking so happy and peaceful. Keep up the good work. On my way to your favorite store, LIDLs. Much love coming to you from New Jersey. USA!
The rules of gardening is that there are no rules.
Are you just throwing all the roof tiles away Theo, are they no good. Oh sorry I see what you are doing. Well done. Wonderful clean up of the land and Bees garden is going to be a beautiful surprise. The best sort. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those rods will always come in handy in the garden!! Not rubbish!! Save them I say!!
Earwigs are the worst! We put DIY bait traps in the garden - basically veg oil, dish soap etc in a saucer. It helped a bit
Everyone has their own way of gardening. We need to figure out our spaces for planting things. You’re lucky you have started there, here in the US we haven’t. I’m so itching to get started. Happy gardening!!
I grew up in the Bay Area of Northern California, San Francisco. My Great Aunt lived along Great Highway,which follows the beach area, off of Hwy 1. Anyway, all of which means nothing to you. Lol. But, this might. My Great Aunt Nell had a huge garden filled with earwigs. She used to lay bamboo tubes down (small ones) and the earwigs with climb in. I was young, so dont know why they liked it. But, she would then dispose of them. If you don't want to kill them you can move them to a new home far from your garden. If you try it let me know if it worked. Good luck. ❤
Malabar spinach.... loves heat, tastes delicious, and looks lovely!
Thanks for the suggestion!
I am a cluttered gardener, so do you with squirrel 🐿️ chaos! If you do it with joy and love that’s what matters
Hello from the southeast USA. Been following your adventures/journey for a few years now. Loving what you've done at Miracle Mountain. Love your U-shaped raised garden. I'm looking for something very similar for my garden. I'm 66 y/o and want something easy to maintain and easy on my back. I have all the necessary old natural wood to place as infill after I dig into the ground a bit and add amended soil on the top layer for plants/veggies to flourish.
I do enjoy the way you grow. I also enjoy grading as well as the 8 chickens that are just a hobby. My neighbors enjoy the eggs. I give 90% away. I just love the girls and their cooler full egg basket.
That is awesome!
Oh Bee, your gardening looks similar to mine. My veggie garden cannot sustain even 1 person. But I do get the odd pepper, green onions, herbs, tomatoes. mint and a few other things. Thank you to you and Theo for❤ motivating me to do things outside, around my cottage.
Enjoy life, find your peace. I find 😊great joy when growing and cooking.
Bea - you are looking radiant!!
🌱ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEE'S GARDEN❣ 🌷🌼🌻
You are both looking so fantastic, well & happy, it shows that your surgery has definitely changed your life for the better Bea, physically & mentally & Theo your back must be much better, glad you took care of yourself and I am sure Bea being back has put an extra spark in your days, I can see it in your eyes. Those lucky new owners...................
Hope some one falls in love with the off grid property. So nice to spend time with you.❤️🇨🇦
How much I love nature and the countryside. Nature is beautiful, and you are more beautiful, my dear, and all the plants that you have planted are good and beautiful. I wish to live in this beautiful countryside. My greetings to you, your followers from Iraq❤
Looks awesome! For the garden paint some strawberry shaped rocks red to put near the strawberry plants. Put out just before they get ripe. It will discourage the birds when the real ones get ripe.
When you grow strawberris make sure the ”niple” where the leaves come from is not inside the the mold.
Buy Zink with copper+ vitamin D for your acne. It will help a lot.
You are doing great work!
Brilliant use of old roof tiles.
Love all your flowers! 🌺 💜
Omg we love John! ❤️
Use Epsome salt on plants for growth. Use copper wire coiled around tall sticks, place in garden between plants at large intervals. Connect the copper covered sticks with copper wire. Plants will grow prolifically quickly.
Looks smashing
Glad to see the to of you doing so good!
I love following you every week, but you should definitely make subtitles for John for us not native speakers 😂
🤣
Smart use of the tiles, Theo!😍🇨🇦
Jeez, John's an ox, eh? He throws boulders like a giant.
Loved seeing the changes on the off grid. 🙌🙌🙌 Bee 🐝 the gardens look lovely. Especially with all the colours. 💐
Bea, I plant much the way you do only in pots. 7 gallon to 20 gallon pots everywhere…Here in the US I can buy pots from plant nurseries on the cheap and then just plant according to the size of the plant and it’s needs.
Love your gardens, keep it up!
Thanks for sharing your day with us!

Love your chaos garden Bee. That would be the type of garden I would like. However, we have way too many deer and would need to build some huge, high fencing to keep them out. For now, no garden.
John's awesome, where does he get all his energy. Great to see the tidy up coming along so well at the off grid property.😊❤
The trick to good strawberries is to plant 20 30 100 plants straw , and as much as it pains you ,nip off all the flower buds every day so as the energy goes to the roots feed them your coffee grounds seaweed tincture or any algae from your pond... and when first weeks of summer roll in let them flower and they will boom big blush outrageous berries all summer. Enough for every day or to put in the freezer.
Love your flowers bea
I don't miss.I see them all and they are wonderfor thank you❤❤
I LOVE the garden - it has given me lots of new plans for my fall garden. :)
Its was so nice to see your garden bed Be its looks very good and al grow well and Theo and John have do a great jop to take care see you soon 👍💪🍅🥔🍓🌰🌰🥬
I gotta say , I've got a crush on John. ❤
Good use of the old tile place is looking great I wish I had enough money and I wish I was 20 years younger and I would buy that from you
Great video. Love john great character…❤❤❤❤
Hello you two lovelies, I love how you garden Bee, I think I would call it totally "stress free"" and that's what the land/environment partnership should be , as for Theo's work he's performing his usual happy miracles with a mate, you just can't get better than that cheers to all!!!🥰😘😘💕👌👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
Everything is looking really good. I do have a suggestion. The thistles growing in the compost need to be dug up and destroyed or the whole compost material will be full of thistles.
Your garden looks great . I'd say for future reference grow the herbs in their own large pots.
Beautiful Bea! Hello! ❤❤❤❤
Unsolicited advice - scrap metal looks like GREAT repurpose raised garden bed "stakes" for individual plants or even to run fencing from/to and have a vine wall for beans, sweet potato vines, etc. They can also be cut to be short stakes for edging support, etc. Or use them as stakes with fencing to keep animals off young trees
Theo’s rock delivery!
Love seeing u both many blessings from North Texas ❤
I enjoyed your video! I like how you described your gardening skills. A lot of work is being done !
Hi, why not use the metal poles in your raised beds ! To keep the goats off and protect your veggies
As always, with love from us in Bulgaria 👍☺️🇧🇬
Using the tile for fill is brilliant
My god John you are a serious worker. You must be Scottish.😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bee, it's so amazing to watch your various gardens grow! What dis you mean when you said: The lettuce has bolted, so it's got to go. ? And why would it taste gross? Thanks as always for your education and inspiration! ❤
Thank you! Bolting is when there’s a rapid growth in the plant, generally when lettuce does it it affects the taste and it becomes bitter, it’s easy to spot when it’s bolted because it is super tall and not lettuce looking 😅
@@theindieprojects Oh, I see! That's so interesting. I wonder why a plant would do such a thing? Lol. I never bolted. I guess that's why I'm so short & smiley. 😂
Looks Good ❤
Great plug for the Indie Project merch, John!
I live in Southern California and it gets hot and dry during the summer. I use clay olla’s or oya’s in my raised beds in between my plants that way it decrease the amount of watering I have to do every day during the summer. I use organic coconut coir as my mulch and not saves on water but I do not seem to have as many pests! Good luck. I also use small clay olla’s in my pots and hanging pots and that makes a huge difference in watering and the plants love it and thrive. Thank you for your great videos.
Thank you for this tip. I just looked them up. I did not know this watering technique. I’m going to try it.(Sierra Nevada Mtns CA) Do you have any tips with aphids? Friend has a terrible time with them. Thank you,again
I really enjoyed the video.
Bee, if you have an abundance of parsley, chop it up, let dry. And you'll have your own without all the additives. Be blessed, Marjo.
Thank you
A Bee está a recuperar bem?
Deus vos abençoe 🙏 e acompanhe 🙏 sempre 🙏
Beijinhos 😘 de Lisboa ❤️❤️
