A Winter Day on our Family Homestead in Alentejo, Portugal

- Опубликовано: 26 янв 2023
- As we spend our first winter in our new home in Alentejo, Portugal, we focus on harvesting our first winter veggies, cooking nutritious food, planting new trees, spending quality time with our sons, and enjoying this lovely sunny weather.
Jon flips the compost, moving it from the left to right bin, which adds more air and can allow for faster composting. Calla shares the health benefits of rainbow chard and walnuts, and includes both in her go-to Chard Pesto Pizza recipe!
Calla doesn't really measure things out when she cooks, so here's a rough estimate of what you need to make the pizza.
Blend 2 handfuls of walnuts, 4-6 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup olive oil, a small chunk of parmesan cheese, 1/4-1/2 cup of tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Add more olive oil and/or tomato sauce to make is smoother texture. Spread the pesto on your favorite pizza dough recipe, top with sliced portobello mushrooms (which have been massaged with olive oil), feta or mozzarella cheese and a little bit of cracked pepper. Bake according to what pizza dough you used. And enjoyyyyyy!

Take care!

Thank you 🙏🏼
Really enjoy the shadow dancing 💃
Thanks! It’s pretty fun:)
Well I appreciate your skill with filming. The earth is poor composting is the solution. Have a good day
Thank you for the compliment:)
Yes our soil was SO bad when we moved here but already seeing such improvement, which is encouraging:)
Nice compost system which apparently is much needed with your soil conditions. Success with your gardening - from a gardener!
Thank you! We need to start it back up actually. Once we got chickens all our scraps went to them, but we have some new things we’re implementing soon to get that back up and running!
What an amazing childhood your kids are having! Your land is gorgeous! Thank you for the information on the chard and the walnuts. I am excited to see your next videos.
Thanks so much! Means a lot:)
Tru here from Canada I need to thank Frankie off grid for letting me know about you!
Thanks to them for sure, glad you are here!
Fun shadow dance. Sun would be enough to make me dance in winter, coming from the UK we will have to wait four months still before we have laves on deciduous trees.
The sun is definitely a perfect reason to do some shadow dancing! And I find dancing helps on the cloudy less pleasant days too! I hope you’ll have more days of sun sprinkled throughout these next for months than you think! All the best!
Beautiful filming. Relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend Anthony Williams books packed with advanced medical information to help us with our health through vegetables, fruit, berries, wild foods and herbs. It will give you an even deeper appreciation for all the wonderful things you are growing and the things you already know.
Thanks so much for your kind words:) I’ll take a look- thanks💛
Great video!
Thanks!
What a lovely family greetings from Enniskillen Northern Ireland
Thank you Colin!
Qué hermoso lugar 😻
Gracias!
Olá bom dia! Beautiful scenes and beautiful landscapes.. hoping to see more soon. In alentejo we eat grão com acelgas it's delicious
Thanks for watching and your kind words:) I will have to look up a recipe for that and try it out! Thanks! ❤

Hi Calla and Jon, we enjoyed your video. I loved cooking with chard grown this past summer in our yard. Unfortunately, a ground hog delighted in the plants also! Along side of it was kohlrabi. I’ve worked compost in all my beds over the years. I even added some worms to one of my raised beds where I planted spinach and leaf lettuce. Can’t wait to replant things this spring. Aunt Kim and Uncle Neil
Hey Aunt Kim & Uncle Neil! Thanks so much for watching:) I love to think of you growing all these things and enjoying gardening! It’s so good for the soul, huh? And, kohlrabi, yum! That’s on our list of things to plant too:) Lots of love and thanks again for saying hi and sharing a bit of your gardening life with us too!
I think the breed of one of your dogs is Epagneul Breton.
Congratulations for your channel. Your farm is beautiful. I have recently discovered your channel. I have subscribed it too. I had a French aunt. She was married to my father's younger brother. My aunt's mother was from Bretagne and her father was from Normandy. I liked her very much and she liked me too especially due to the fact that we both loved nature and animals.
My name is Filipa. Eduardo is my husband.I am using his mobile phone. In fact it is mine now.
Wishing you all the best.
Love Filipa.
Thank you Filipa :) Great to know a bit about your story and your links to France. Yes it is an Epagneul breton indeed, and for the second one, our little Formiguinha, we don't really know the breed. Take care!
I hear you about the soil, there's a reason that most farms are in center Portugal, where the soil and the weather is a little more prone to cultivation. I'm sure you an still plant amazing stuff in there, plus the weather is some of the best in Portugal if you enjoy sun and mild temps in the winter specifically
Definitely. It’s been so cool to see the changes already. Winter has been our favorite so far- so lush and green! We’ll see how and if the garden holds up as it gets hotter and dryer! We’re guaranteed to learn a lot for our first growing season changes;)
Amigo.
Os solos mais fertéis de Portugal são os chamados Barros da região de Beja.
Apenas 4% dos solos do país são de classe A e estão todos no Alentejo e Lezíria do Tejo.
Por algum motivo o Alentejo é e sempre foi o celeiro da nação.
@@terra7066 boa, não sabia. Sempre assumi que o clima seco tivesse impacto negativo no solo.
@@HelderP1337
É o contrário , as regiões tropicais do planeta têm os solos mais pobres porque a constante percipitação levou à erosão e o constante verde consome os poucos nutrientes que existem.
Marrocos tem os solos mais férteis do mundo , o país é quase todo rocha fosfática que não sofreu erosão , o chamado crescente fértil onde a agricultura começou é nos desertos do médio oriente nas bacias de rios como o Tigres , Eufrates e jordão.
Na região de Mértola havia solos desgastados pelo uso excessivo durante centenas de anos na produção de cereais que não produziam nada e agora começaram a produzir porque foram fertilizados pelas poeiras do Saara , as agências espaciais já estão no terreno a estudar o que aconteceu para reproduzir o processo em Marte.
Os solos nas regiões semi desérticas precisam apenas duma gotinha de água para produzir e bem.
@@terra7066 wow, fantastico. Hoje já sei algo que não sabia ontem. 👍
You've a great water supply and looks like a large block. What size is your property.
Yes, water has been one of our first priorities when we moved in, we did this pond to have a great supply, available for irrigation, blocking and fighting potential wildfires (and for wildlife :)) because we are not connected to main water. Our land is several hectares.
How do you teach your bunny to stay close. With no fence?
She stays close to me and responds to her name. But we only let her out in small amounts and obviously without the dogs outside. Also recently she’s getting more daring so I don’t think we’ll be letting her roam like this much longer! A bigger fenced area is one of our next projects for chickens and bunnies.
Hi, since you guys are in a pretty remote location, mind me asking what's the nearest village?
Is this a pond or just stagnant water from the rain?
Hey there, thanks for your questions:) We’re keeping our location vague on this platform. We’re in Alentejo.
It’s a large pond! We just uploaded a video that talks about it:)
@@theyellowbootshomestead OK I understand, it just coz the Alentejo (Alto & Baixo) is the biggest region, hence the question.
Never mind, thanks anyway.
Baixo ou alto Alentejo?
Baixo:) É você?
Portalegre.
