Beautiful video with the forest and veggie plots you can see the meditarranean winter cold but not extremely cold. I remember the amount of big brown mushrooms we used to get from a pine forest.
If you have tomatoes, make ratatouille and can it. It is a quick meal and delicious. I love that you wear overalls. In the winter you can wear coveralls for a little more warmth. I was in Portugal in winter, but mainly on the coast. I think everybody from away loves Portugal. I wanted to retire to East Europe, but after the attacks on airplanes, I stayed in the States. Portugal would have been a better choice than E. Europe. I just wanted a slower pace than U. S. after teaching in Hungary.
I am pretty much like you. I frequently forget what I have seeded and where and if the seeds take a long time to come out I do again or I plant something else :)😁 Very good job!!
Thank you so much for that Ruth. It really made my day. It’s a lot harder doing everything on my own but I keep on going. Little by little and another project is complete. 👍
Wonderful video. Love how you inserted some of Dan's shennanigan's whilst he's supposedly back in the UK working. I've observed you really upping your video creation and want you to know I very much appreciate the hard work and creativity, quality into that part of your work. Your garden is looking amazing. Very, very funny about the fallic shaped mushroom that smells like rotting human flesh. Keep up the great work. Your spirit and human loveliness shines through in your videos.
Ola amigos ! I’m French from Bretagne, 60, settled in Porto, with my Colombian girlfriend Aurora since 2020. Although I’m neither a veggie nor a countryside type, I’m a true admirer of your darings and I’m delighted with your story and adventures. I’m an eco-friendly person, sailing-child, Açores lover, Brompton-cyclist, and vegetables eater (but not only ;). If ever you’re around in Porto, we might have a drink and conversation so we could share impressions and experiences of Portugal and have fun. Cheers
LOL I nearly died every time you ate a chilli, I've had a bad experience with chilli before - it made me cry! Good on you for chopping the wood. Lovely of your neighbour to drop you off some future compost. Take care, Poo
Verry beautiful your jungle garden😍 It is also possible to live in your neighborhood in the Forrest, you now, there is something to rent a piece of land, for permakultur growing? All best 🙏❣️
You have a lot of firewood in your property ... perhaps a log splitter would be a good investment...there are some from around 400/500 euros that probably could do the job ....
Just discovered your videos, you guys seem like cool dudes and I wish you the best.....just one thing when picking mushies, try taking a knife and slicing off at ground level instead of disturbing the mycelium etc plus it means you take home clean mushies too!
I've always been at odds with that choice. Mr Paul Stamets, whose book Mycellium Running I have seems to use both methods. I think as you suggest, the boletes could be cut rather than plucked. Thank you.
@@NearbyVeggies Cool, thanks heaps for replying.....you prompted me to do some more research and you're spot on about the two schools of thought. I'll keep cutting mine I reckon purely because I like taking home clean, crunch free mushies haha. I also have Mycellium Running....one day I'll get around to reading it.
After very, very diligently removing seeds from chilies for 50 years, I learned just a few weeks ago that the white membrane carries the heat. So now I carefully remove every speck of white. Somebody is spreading rumors about old dogs and tricks.
@@NearbyVeggies while my heat tolerance is somewhat limited, my husband is a total wimp. BTW, I learned from a Mexican grocery worker that to use jalapeños in soups instead of black pepper. They cook down totally. It gives certain soups a different taste dimension.
It’s only me who collects mushrooms, not Dan. I’m confident in the mushrooms that I collect having learned skills over many years. I’m ultra cautious and aware that some can be deadly. Thank you for caring.
Shops and cafes are a 10 to 15 minute walk away. There are lots of people around and I don't get lonely. I enjoy my time alone and also love to spend time with people.
10 kgs per liter of oil! wow.. that makes one repsects the amount of harvest that is needed to produce high quality olive oil for sure... that is about 6-7 weeks of "liberal" use.... (?)
Beautiful video with the forest and veggie plots you can see the meditarranean winter cold but not extremely cold. I remember the amount of big brown mushrooms we used to get from a pine forest.
Thanks. Great mushrooms here too. 👍
so nice and simple people! I lovee you!
Thank you 😊
That was a great video thank you 🇳🇿
Delighted you enjoyed the video. Thank you 😊
My eyes were watering as you munched those chilli's 🥴🥵 your some woman. Your energy and passion are a tonic. 👍❤️
Wow, thank you.
I like your vedieos
Thank you 😊
You are very nice together!!!
Thank you 😊
Omg you are such an inspiration. Have you any plans in the future to run courses? Foraging etc, please 🙏💐
Thank you, Ber🙂 Perhaps we'll do something in the future, for now, we have much to do do get everything underway.
Bless you for eating a chili on video! I would be crying and begging for milk😅
I do like chillies 😂

Thank you Shirley. Good ideas. Portugal is indeed a beautiful country with such a variety of landscapes too.
I am pretty much like you. I frequently forget what I have seeded and where and if the seeds take a long time to come out I do again or I plant something else :)😁 Very good job!!
I’ve been doing that all my life. 😂
I love what you are doing in the garden and can’t wait until you get started on the house. Cheers Kym
Us too!
I could not eat chilis like you do! I like a liitle bit as seasoning when I cook! Brave lady, alone in the woods!
I like the thrill of the chilli surprise. Hope you enjoy
Just found your channel on Friday. And we’re in love with you guys. Love watching and learning new things.
Thank you so much. 😊
Wah! that was hard work AND filming yourself then editing and posting! Thank you, Meraid❣ You're doing great💪🏻👩🏻🦳.
Thank you so much for that Ruth. It really made my day. It’s a lot harder doing everything on my own but I keep on going. Little by little and another project is complete. 👍
@@NearbyVeggies 🤗
At times when the garden feels overwhelming, I just sing to myself "Inch by inch, row by row" and before you know it I'm almost finished 🤣❤️👍
Very idyllic life, nice to see people living fruitfully! Look forward to the next video!
Thank you 😊 We appreciate that.

Carolyne, that’s such an encouraging comment. I really appreciate it. Thank you 😊
What a big beautiful garden y'all have!💕
Thank you, Kathleen.
Some monster mushrooms you have there :) Loving the videos!
Amazing mushrooms this year. Thank you 😊

Thank you. We hope you continue to enjoy our adventure and your life in Portugal. Be careful, we might appear in Porto some day. 🍷
It was fun to see your hair down for your Portuguese class. I usually wear my hair up and people are surprised when they see it down.
Itya lot shorter now 😊
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Thank you.

I do enjoy a good chilli 🌶 😊
Wonderful content, btw 😊👍🏼
Thank you so much, Ruth.
done watching from Manila Philippines🥰🥰🥰
Awesome 🤩
Verry beautiful your jungle garden😍
It is also possible to live in your neighborhood in the Forrest, you now, there is something to rent a piece of land, for permakultur growing?
All best 🙏❣️
There are certain rules about such like. Only on a temporary basis I believe. We haven’t looked into renting land.
all carlos's are good men,lol 🙂
👍
Great, you got olive oil!!
It seems that this year, although we didn’t pick as much as last year, we’ve done alright. Some folks got no olives at all!
You have a lot of firewood in your property ... perhaps a log splitter would be a good investment...there are some from around 400/500 euros that probably could do the job ....
It would indeed be a good investment, Daniel. Dan enjoys the axe work so far. 😊
Love your videos!
By the way, Have you ever been to Brazil?
Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you. Meraid sailed to Brazil and spent a month there but Dan has not.
Beautiful 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you 😊

It’s a heavy bit of reading. 😁
I think training @pinnaclefitness will see me be quite useful at log splitting this Xmas x
Absolutely. It could be the latest thing - battle of the log babes!😉
After very, very diligently removing seeds from chilies for 50 years, I learned just a few weeks ago that the white membrane carries the heat. So now I carefully remove every speck of white. Somebody is spreading rumors about old dogs and tricks.
I like the heat. Eat a handful of seeds to confirm if it's true. :-)
@@NearbyVeggies while my heat tolerance is somewhat limited, my husband is a total wimp. BTW, I learned from a Mexican grocery worker that to use jalapeños in soups instead of black pepper. They cook down totally. It gives certain soups a different taste dimension.
Yes, chillies do different things when cooked. 👍
Delicious harvest! Did you manage to find a way to store some of the aubergines?
Yes, I made brinjal pickle (an Indian condiment) which we both love. And I made breaded aubergine discs with a tomato sauce served on rice.
Friends, be very careful with mushrooms as there are many species similar to edible mushrooms and they are poisonous.🤮🤔
It’s only me who collects mushrooms, not Dan. I’m confident in the mushrooms that I collect having learned skills over many years. I’m ultra cautious and aware that some can be deadly. Thank you for caring.
🌟👏👍🍀💐
👍😊
How far is the nearest shop/ town do you find it a bit lonely?
Shops and cafes are a 10 to 15 minute walk away. There are lots of people around and I don't get lonely. I enjoy my time alone and also love to spend time with people.
10 kgs per liter of oil! wow.. that makes one repsects the amount of harvest that is needed to produce high quality olive oil for sure... that is about 6-7 weeks of "liberal" use.... (?)
We use about 12 to 15 litres a year. Liberal use of olive oil in Portugal is a whole different level 😋
When the chili is pointy it is hot if it is round point it is not hot
We grow a round yellow chilli that is mega hot 🥵
How many olive trees do u have
We still haven’t counted them. Maybe 35 or 40 but some are huge.
So why cannot the HOUSE cat come indoors?
Because he’s an Outside cat. He comes in and wants to go out the other door 😂
Your mushroom doesn’t look like anything I am familiar with!
I should hope not. 😉
