Thanks so much for watching!!!
Love the way that Crusoe is allowed to be a little boy playing in the mud and being a part of whatever’s happening. No one telling him to stay out of the mud, “ that’s too dangerous”, or “ get out of the puddle”, etc. good on you.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Fiquei fascinada com o Crusuo a brincar na lama e ainda mais que encontraram uma nascente. Foi muito bom agora ja nao vai faltar agua para regar. Meus queridos amigos estou tao feliz como se tivesse acontecido a mim. O senhor Jonh e a Tara merecem tudo de bom sao tao incriveis como pais que sao para os seus lindos bébés ❤ God bless you e muitos parabens 🐅🐅🐈🐕🐘🐓🐓🐔🐦🐦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇵🇹👍👍
You might need to put a liner beneath the dirt to hold the water in!
Tara, you must have to do a ton of laundry every day!!!
I love the way they parent their children. My grandson's are parented the same way. They didn't have tan lines last summer if you know, you know. LOL! Free ranged children.😂
CRUSOE 💕💕💕 IS JUST SO SHARP FOR WORDS AND ALSO .... AS ALWAYS .... BEYOND ADORABLE TOO ..... SIMPLY LOVE IT ! ! !
AT O-N-L-Y .... 2 "AND A BIT" X YEARS OF AGE .... WHEN JOHN STATED THAT THE "WATER IS SOAKING INTO THE GROUND" .... DARLING 💕 LITTLE CRUSOE IMMEDIATELY RESPONDS BY ASKING JOHN, ..... "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN" ? ? ?
I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS ! ! !
ALSO, WHEN WATERING THE PLANTS ...... JUST HOW ENTHUSIASTIC IS THEE "LITTLE CHIP" CRUSOE 💕 DARLING WHEN ..... HE REPEATEDLY SAYS TO HIS BEAUTIFUL MUM, TARA.... "AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN" 🌟💕😇 WHEN WANTING TO ASSIST HER IN WATERING THEIR WONDERFUL CROPS ! ! !

In fact, building a natural pond will boost the water level of the ground water (aquifer) in the area. So everyone who has a well from your property on down the watershed will benefit. I suggest that you have done everyone in the watershed a favor. The goal is to store the water on site as close as possible to the source so wells don't run dry. I suggest you do not line the pond until you know that you must to get through the summer. With multiple springs feeding the pond... 😊 You have a lot of beautiful green grass to feed your animals. Get a bagging lawn mower, set it on the highest setting and cut two or 3 bags a day for your animals. Anything that's left over, toss onto the compost piles start now or you will have a jungle! 😊 Regarding aphids: use peppermint castile soap. Not artificial - all natural product and more effective than store bought dish soap. 😊 Everything that want to vine and climb will do well on bamboo trellis. Watch this lady build trellis out of bamboo in Vietnam: ruclips.net/video/2cJ7pphXTM0/видео.html You will want to keep a small patch of bamboo growing just for this purpose. 😊Plant your tomatoes right away. Don't wait. If they are leggy, you can bury them deep and the stem will form additional roots.
That is great news Steve! Thanks so much for your advice and support friend, it means the world to us 🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Steve'S advice was spot on,peppermint and 🏰 soap awesome natural way of getting rid of those little boogers, lololol Aloha from kauai, Hawaii love watching you y
I hear you can also use preying mantis for aphids.
They live in Portugal preying mantis.
Such a lot happening at the farm 👏🏻👏🏻 the weather looks awesome too ❤ enjoy the rest of your week lovelies 😊
I love seeing Crusoe talking. His language skills improve from video to video! And he's so enthusiastic! Congratulations
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
That's so awesome. I lived on a property in France for 10 years where we had a spring with a big rock pool and it fed the entire garden. We put 80 local fresh-water trout and salmon in it and they grew massive!! I gave them names and used to swim with them...they all became pets and we never ate one of them 😍🤩🐟🐟🐟
Love the sound of that Marisa. Thanks so much for watching friend 🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
@@TheNewbys you're so welcome. 🤗💚
I'm picturing this in my mind, and it's quite fun and lovely!
Wow !!!!! Yall found a spring that is totally awesome!!! We have a couple of spring on our little place .That crusoe just keeps getting cutier and cutier I love his confidence!! ...God has blessed yall hugely thank yall for a great Video!!! God Bless yall from braselton Ga USA ❤️
It's really WOW,so happy for you guys!!!!!
I am a black Zimbabwean and i always get excited when Tara proudly express her roots. I would have loved to see and hear her parents speak on the vlog.
Share your sentiments💖💖💖💖
You heard Tara's dad briefly minding Crusoe to not drop the phone in the water/ mud. Very strong accent.
Hope we will be afforded an opportunity to see and hear from them in the next episode.
@cardinalmanyara you have to bear in mind, not everyone wants to br on film
@@marybates2201 yes you are right.
Game changer!
How exciting!
I love Crusoe jumping everywhere and get dirty in the mud.
That is how a kid enjoy life the most.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Crusoe grows up to take over Marios job driving that big digger! Of course finding more water is fantastic!
Companion planting helps in preventing aphids: oregano, chives, garlic, onions, leeks, sage, basil, etc. (strong smelling plants); but also preventing ant colonies may help. Neem oil with water for spraying until the aphids and eggs are all gone. Some bug hotels for your ladybirds 🐞 with loads of diverse flowers… I’m not sure if possible in Portugal, but in Belgium and the Netherlands we can actually buy a box of ladybugs and ladybug larvae 🐛
🐞🌱😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Same in the US. I bought some “ladybugs” at one of my local nurseries. Praying mantis as well as a particular kind of tiny wasps that i can never remember the name of. Companion plants are always key.
Tnx Mieke for your wonderful explanation. This is exactly what we do in South Africa 🇿🇦
Marigolds planted amongst tomatoes are perfect companion plants - they keep whitefly away so may work with your broad beans as well 🤔
When I first started watching your videos I was always amazed at how you just let Crusoe be a little boy and wander around without constantly telling him to be careful. I have to admit that I was also a bit nervous. Now after binge watching I’ve come to realize that your style of parenting is so,cool,and calm and I congratulate you and John. What an adventure for a two yr old.❤️
The ground must be different where I live. A bulldozer dug my pond, going round and round packing down the clay so it would hold water and it did. My neighbor across the road dug his with a backhoe and it turned into a muddy mess and did not hold water. And when you get deep water in it please keep a close eye on Crusoe. He disappears quickly, and ponds are so attractive and deadly to small children.
I am very happy you found water!, Crusoe is amazing! Hugs to both of your boys
Yes, this is a nono for Crusoe.
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
The new water source is such a blessing and a big mud puddle is better than a sand box for a little boy who loves to dig.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
It is likely that under where your your knees were when digging out the spring, there is a stone pool. It would have been used to allow clear water to separate from the silt, to refrigerate milk, etc.
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Please safeguard any open water from the kids access… you can’t have eyes in the back of your head with two active boys… that pond will be like a magnet…
We will definitely do something like that Maria, thanks so much for your concern friend ❤️❤️❤️
Wow I’m so jealous of your climate and being able to plant out your tomatoes already. Mine are still keeping warm inside the house for a while yet. In answer to your question about planting them out in flower, definitely yes , not a problem. Quick tip though, when you do, just plant them as deep as you can. You can bury them right up to the bottom leaves. The stem will then grow lots more roots and be able to take up more water and be a stronger, healthier plant. Happy planting.
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
My favorite part was Crusoe jumping in the mud puddle! I LOVE the rain! I used to take my children outside to dance in the rain!! One of my favorite memories!! 💗
Thanks Tammy! A muddy kid is a very happy kid! Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏
Crusoe will be I. Heaven with his own”pond big puddle” especially for him. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I knew you would find something for him. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🚜💧😊❤️🇵🇹
Oh fantastic news, its like finding Gold, and when you shone the light in, the water looked so clear, delighted for you and the little guy is going to have a blast in all that mud lol, Mario must love coming to work on your place as the joy he is greeted with is priceless. Big hugs and loads of love Dede xxxxx
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
We love our pond. Lots of good talks sitting around it. Good for the soul. -Christy
🚜💧😊❤️🇵🇹
THAT IS SUCH AN EXITING FIND! Water is golden.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Wow what an awesome blessing that is. No more worrying about water. I love watching Crusoe he’s a busy young man,
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Looks like swimming lessons are in store in short order for a little wandering explorer. I grew up in Miami, Florida and children and babies learned to swim practically from birth. It was a necessary safety skill. With a pond on your farm, it looks like another 'project' is coming up. That'll be so much fun!
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
good idea
Yes learn Crusoe swim asap no waiting around very important.
Loving the big hole! When I was about 4 my grampa built a cement pond a foot deep so he could teach me to float. (They lived on a lake.) And he said swimming comes easily when you're not afraid.
I have 5 children (all grown-up now), but they all learned to swim starting at 6 months old. My little sister almost drowned when she was around 1 year old. So I told myself that my children were going to learn before they could walk and fall into water. It's truly a matter of life or death.
Quando vejo o Crusoe com as roupas e cara suja, vem à memória os meus tempos de criança, uma linda época em que se brincava na rua com as outras crianças, ao anoitecer aparecíamos em casa completamente sujos por vezes com as roupas rasgadas e ainda ranhosos, felizmente o Crusoe também está a fazer o mesmo processo, sem dúvida a parte mais linda e incrível que uma pessoa pode ter ❤😇🙃🤪🐓🐣⚘️🌲🪺 que sejas sempre FELIZ Crusoe ❤
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
@@nba6124 não se preocupe, eles fazem a tradução para o inglês... Eu também escrevo em português e eles respondem-me em inglês 😅❤
@@nba6124 eu também tive estas experiências tão lindas, lá no Brasil, em Curitiba, quase sempre brincando fora, num jardim enorme, plantas, frutas, lama, sim, bastante sujeira! Felizmente o Crusoe está permitido de fazer estas experiências...
The English have a six-week school holiday in the summer. The origins of this holiday date back to when children helped with the harvest. As children, we all had summer jobs during the holidays. 🇵🇹 🇬🇧 ❤
@bar1066 summer wS strawberry picking. Half term in Oct we knew as potato picking week.
So very special. Life's most important resource.

😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
It just keeps getting "gooder and gooder". Brilliant!
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Wohoo!! New video 🎉❤
Such exciting things happening on the farm! Now the big question is, who's is bigger Bradey? 😉
Next question: when will we see the next video of Raising Voyagers?
You can have a natural waterfall into your pond! How wonderful!!
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Has to be the best closing frame of all your vlogs!!
❤️❤️❤️
Think Big ✔✔ Explore ✔✔ awesome discovery guys so excited for you 👍 Your 2 boys will have fabulous memories of growing up on your farm. 💖
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
I guess you have thousand of us cheering your new spring. I was cheering and clapping of happiness. Crusoe is sooo fun and speaking and running happy and freely.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
It looks as though that area might have been a pond in the past. There is a rock boundary on the other side of the spring as well. It probably filled in naturally through succession and they let it go. That spring is and absolutely marvelous find!
I agree, that’s been a pond or a natural catchment for water and then it spills over the mountain ledge, it’s a great find from others before them, it’s a wonderful blessing to have rediscovered it for such a time as this ❤🙏👏
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Agreed 👍🏼
Seeing your little boys makes me miss when our five children were little! 💜💙🌷🌸🌷
Thanks Sue! It’s a very special time. ❤️❤️
Where there's water, there's life. Congratulations.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Very important project the one about the big hole, as Crusoe goes andvluckily you've found the right water source.
Lovely days with your parents, Tara.
The vegetable garden is doing so well and soon you'll have to learn how to harvest and keep the abundance of produce.
Evey video coming out from your property is a joy to look at. Love you all.
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Tara, plant calendula and nasturtium to attract the aphids away from your other plants! As far as ladybugs, it's the larvae that consume the most aphids and I actually purchased some on line once! That's something you would need to do a little research on to see if they are available in Portugal! Good luck!!
She also can make a especial liquid, natural against them. lices.
ruclips.net/video/r84vaiGaB30/видео.html
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
I plant rosemary ,spirmint bazel and marigolds to keep the bugs away. Safe Soap is good as well. Aphids show up when the plants need water.
Well this is fun! please do us a favor and make sure its fenced to keep curious little people from jumping in.. drowning is a real danger. Love it!
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
One thing I know for sure - Crusoe is living his best life 🥰
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Hi Tara, tomatoes should be ok if you transplant them in flower or bud! In fact they love it since they can grow quicker and get more feed and water from the ground. The discovery of water stream is excellent! Can't wait to see your pond finished! Thanks for sharing and happy homesteading!
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
I don't know about attracting Ladybirds but Hoverflies can be attracted by planting Limnanthes or "Poached Egg" plants - they are much prettier than they sound (as are the Hoverflies), and will self seed happily.
The Hoverflies themselves just drink nectar and are super good at helping to pollinate plants, but their larvae are the ones that will go for the aphids!
I'm pretty sure you can buy kits online of natural predators of aphids and the like, and if you add garlic to your soapy water spray it will boost the efficacy due to its sulphur content which is toxic to a lot of the undesirable bugs!
Your spring is such a brilliant find, and Mario really is amazing with his digger skills! I can't wait for the next update!
*Hugs * to you all! xx
That is great to know Kimberley. Thanks so much for sharing that with us, we will be sure to look out for some kits online 🐞🌱😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Another suggestion. I have seen many Universities in America an maybe others… students volunteer to come to farms such as you to do WORK… gardening, carpenter, stone work, they pay their expenses, you provide food/ place to sleep. 👍👍. In Europe many bring their own Tents… just decide how many you could use comfortably. Get wine House completely operational, water suppers.. engineer students, carpenters, stone person ( Italy folks), a person for putting up veggies ( plants lots garlic to hang from rafters…. Get all bldgs ready for winter, more stone walkways… whatever u need ASAP… Make Video, send to University towns, ASAP ( require background check, proof of round trip airfare ticket). It’s done in many countries. Hope u can get this “ cracking “ asap to help the next 3/4 months. There are Universities that give college credit but that might take lot paper work BUT there are many young people like adventure. Decide if u want girls an guys together ( enough said on that). Guys just stronger for farm. Your young neighbor would be great overseer to help Husband a couple days… so many students look at this as a learning vacation.
A wonderful gift to your property--water is the mainstay of life and you have it!
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
You know, even though it's not an ancient discovery, discovering that water source that was so intentionally built out like that was magical in the same way as an archeological find! Someone you will never know, a while ago, lived on that land and had the same issues with water - and did nearly the same sorts of things to fix it! Amazing.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Mario is truly an artist. I love watching him.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
I can't wait to hear the impressions of her parents, about the property that Tara and her family bought in Portugal, and if they could make a comparison between life in Zimbabwe and life on the property in Portugal, but straight from their point of view and heart... ..Thank you very much for this video, in which 3 generations come together.
Thanks Jelena! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
Congratulations for the discovery, how exciting 🥰🥰
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
The water is like finding a buried treasure chest. Very exciting.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Hello guys, another good episode, Nancy and I are delighted. Seeing Crusoe's boots switched,was cute! Mario is an artist indeed! It's amazing to see the many things that are happening in your place. Sorry about the aphids though!
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
The discovery of the spring is very exciting!
Hi guys nice work on the pond he’s doing a grand job,try planting some flowers with your veggies like marigolds lavender the smell puts off the insects look on line for others flowers that you can plant there’s a whole list of them.😊
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
IT'S SOOO BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR SAY MY TURN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN WATCHING HIS EVOLUTION THE LITTLE HUMAN YOU'VE CREATED AND MOLDING IN SUCH MAGICAL WAYS. I MUST SAY YOU 2 ARE THE GREATEST PARENTS A HUMAN CAN. ASK 4. OH MOM YOU'RE A GODDESS ON YOUR OWN LIGHT HOW THE RAYS OF SUNSHINE BOUNCE OF YOU IT'S TO DIE FOR. I ENJOY IT SO MAGICAL.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment friend, it put the biggest smile on our faces ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy watching your progress in your homestead and Crusoe enjoying every minute of it.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
You can move tomatoes when they're flowering. Just try not to damage the main plant or roots.
🍅🌱😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
Crusoe is so adorable I love watching your progress guys…. On to the next adventure can’t wait for Sunday episode 😊
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
How fabulous and how wonderful a surprise for you to find! A property is always blessed when there is more than one source of water.........I am so so excited for you and what a thrill. It is so wonderful to see the joy you all feel on your dreamland. I Love that so much. People take so much for granted and it is so beautiful to see genuine joy and thanks for these beautiful surprises when you are so blessed for the extra water source......I am absolutely thrilled for you. Crusoe is such a delight I can only imagine your parents joy of spending time with he and baby brother. How wonderful and blessed to be able to share all your new excitements with them......and the boys are a ++++++ bonus!!!
Love watching the POND being dug and the extra blessing of water. What a wonderful time.........enjoy your parents and enjoy the process of each day being new and full of new surprises!
Blessings to you and may they continue!!!
Thank you MLM! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡
I believe you can buy lady birds on the net . It's so exciting to see the pond being formed and seeing how fast your plants are growing , I can't wait to see what you do with everything. I love watching crusoe being a gorgeous fun young man , such joy .
🐞🌱😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
It is so nice to see you happy and peaceful after such a rough fall and winter. Berms and swales are so important and benefit a property, and I am glad you are putting in the pond for that reason.
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
I’m loving the Wednesday videos! As far as tomato flowers, the plants are still too small to flower, so you want to prune them all off anyways to encourage the plant to grow taller and establish better roots outside in the ground first. Also I recommend a pump-pressure sprayer thingy to avoid your hand getting super sore when spraying plants. And I hope you have been collecting a couple hundred jars minimum (reusing grocery store food jars is absolutely fine) and familiarising yourself with canning principles (I’m happy to give tips and recipes!). Because yes, you will be absolutely OVERWHELMED with produce from that size garden. Knowing what to do with it, canning, dehydrating, fermenting, freezing etc. before the flood happens, will really help with your sanity 😊❤ much love from Southern Spain! 🤗
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
I am sure you will be giving food to neighbors … hoping u can find a freezer another refrigerator to put in wine house, hanging wire baskets to put veggies in, maybe finding where to order GLASS canning JARS at a reasonable cost. Big metal pots to do all canning outside/ with wood fire…😄… will be cooler than inside … u might need some teenagers help you a few days.. time consuming by yourself. Use as little Plastic as possible. ECObunfruendly to that beautiful earth there please.
Add roses, Lavender, and marigolds around and in your veggie patch Tara & Crusoe to bring in the good insects as well. That will also help the bees stay in the area. :)
🌱🌸❤️😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
Congrats!!! Finding a new source of water is fantastic news. Your farm is looking better and better💪💪😊😊😊
Thank you Carmen! Very exciting!!
Well…
WITHOUT knowing much about farming in Zimbabwe , one has to realize that farming in general gives your dad a pretty substantial advantage of how to store water in general … in other words… your dad is a BIG PLUS to your project with his expertise and experience…
Or how should I put it… DADS are so amazing … most of the time 😂
Greetings from Germany everybody 👋
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Emocionante. Crusoé e papá Macguiver 😂 encontraram uma nascente mesmo perto da piscina selvagem. Que maravilha! Beijos para os 4
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Looks like swimming lessons for Crusoe are in order! How lucky that you found a spring to help feed your pond!
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
In France the farmers are still using the Roman aqueducts to transport their water. You might like them up and their architecture! Water was also transported into the spas in Rome using clay tiles! You might try using some of your roofing tiles to see if they could carry the flow, and use cement to bind them?
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Adoro o Crusoé com a cara toda cheia de terra... Ahh, doces lembranças da minha infância em Moçambique, os meus avós também eram fazendeiros em África 💝🥰
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Quelle incroyable découverte un des éléments le plus précieux de notre planète vous êtes de sacrés chanceux 😊
🚜❤️🏡🇵🇹🙏🏼
Crusoe is such a cute kid he is so adorable.
Congratulations on finding your Water Spring.
I am so happy for you..
Sending love to you all.

🚜💧😊❤️🇵🇹
If you plant dill between the broadbeans, you get less aphids. Even nasturium along/arround the broadbeans will reduce the black aphids. Love the way Crusoe is allowed to help 😍
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
You can buy lady birds through the mail!
Yes, move your tomatoes!
I had a big big problem with ants and then aphids on my roses, lemon trees and orange tree. I put used coffee grounds down around the base, now I have no ants or aphids. Little slow but does work.
Amazing, thanks so much for sharing Glenda 🌱😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Coffee pure grounds is great for soooo much … it’s a great natural thing for flowers veggies! My Mom keep metal bucket by coffee machine an we put out after dinner after grounds no longer warm. I use coffee beans throut my house an closets! Smel/ deodorant ❤️.
What a great find 🙌🥰 water is just LIFE, especially when building a natural dam/ pond💦 ❤
Wat an amazing find. So pleased for you guys. Loved watching Crusoe in the muddy puddles 💙💙
Que descoberta fantástica! Água é vida!

Bom dia parabéns pelos vídeos , sigo desde a vossa chegada ao meu país e gosto muito , pena é não serem legendados para as pessoas como eu que não entendo muito o inglês
Você pode definir as legendas na roda no canto superior direito clicando em "legendas" e "tradução automática", onde você pode definir seu idioma. Sou italiano e espero que esta tradução seja compreensível. 😁👋🏼
Hi Jorge, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. We are working on subs. You should still be able to use the YT generic subs though?
I use this for on my plants Tara for flowers and shrubs : To make a basic neem oil spray, dissolve 1 tbsp of neem oil and 1 tbsp of castile soap, in 1l of warm water, and mix thoroughly and spray. They say you can use neem oil on vegetables, I have not tried this but have heard Castile peppermint soap in warm water does, so will also give this a try myself this year. Also lady birds I think you can buy on line. How exciting finding that spring. Well done.
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
I've found the BEST way to manage aphids on your broadbeans is removing the growing tip of your plants (the bit they congregate on) entirely when the plants are 2 to 3 feet high. It won't hurt the plants and it really does work. I've been doing that for a few years now. Best of luck, Carolyn
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
The spring is exciting news for you and your whole community. But please get Crusoe and Sawyer to legit swimming lessons immediately! ❤❤❤ Also, research companion planting. I remember a book called Carrots Love Tomatoes. Also, plant marigolds everywhere for pest control.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Yes and save the seeds. You will never have to buy them again
The water source is beautiful. Crusoe just ❤. Looking forward until Sunday.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Oh how exciting!!! Having a way to store water is so important when you have a farm (and the bonus of a pool to boot!😁)
Hi Mum and Dad! 👋😃
Tomatoes are pretty tough, so if you give them a good drink, they should be fine (try transplanting them in the cool of the afternoon/evening. Also, the bits that you snap out of the leaf forks, just pop into a pot to start a new plant.
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Planting marigolds in between the rows of some of your plants will help deter aphids.
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Oh my goodness, it’s a boy paradise! Masses of mud and ooozy water. I’m not surprised Crusoe is in heaven. How fabulous that your parents can spend time with you at this exciting time. I bet your dad is thinking of ways to harness the gift of water you discovered. Nature has so many secrets which you are discovering…a little bit here….a little bit there, and yet, they were always there and you didn’t know it! Exciting times dear Newbys! Blessings on your family reunion 😎☺️
It is definitely a boy's paradise Anne, Crusoe has been having the best time sliding down the dirt and running through the puddles. My dad has shared so many exciting ideas with us friend. Thanks so much for your support friend. Your support means so much to us 🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Water water everywhere fantastic....all your vegetables are coming along nicely...love Crusoe making his own fun sliding down the mud bank bless him xx
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Can you run a pipe underground to your garden ? I love the relationship that Caruso has with Mario, like having a big brother.. love your little community
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
With regard to the tomatoes, you could try cracking the pots and just putting them in the ground.
The earth is so rich there! You are so blessed to find another spring!
🌱👨🏼🌾😊🙏🏼🇵🇹
It's a treasure trove finding a spring on the land. It just keep getting better. God bless
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the ending 🤩
He was trying his very best to help Mario Sally 🤣 Thanks so much for watching friend 🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Well really looks as if you have found water on your land which is great for the summer. Love to see Crusoe playing like children should play getting dirty.❤️❤️❤️
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
Thrilled for you to find another water source! A very practical aspect in developing your water storage will be to build a secure fence to protect your precious little boys from any harm in future. Very best wishes for this exciting project.
🚜💦🏡🙏🏼🇵🇹
That stream of water is a blessing to your homestead. It is a joy to see Crusoe playing with water, mud, camera enjoying his life. 👍🏻 well done
🚜💧😊❤️🇵🇹
Love cursoe with his wellies on the wrong feet , reminds of my grand daughter at that age❤
He is just too funny Jo! Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
Suggestion… latch very high on the Hot House ( til Cruso little older) that way he can’t get door open… just to save plants … 2 minutes with Toddler ca be crazy LOL… In America we can order Lady Bugs …. Maybe you can go on Internet to places closer to you. They came to me in a box! ??? Flowers/ herbs plant you need for others… suggest … clean out wine house … to lay out veggies like a root cellar… maybe make a root cellar on a Hill way back of property near water ( keep some veggies cool) Just remember what I saw as a child on grandparents farm
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
To stop aphids on broad beans pinch the top of the plant out when first bean forms, usually works a treat!
🌱😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Indeed a fantastic discovery! water is gold in a farm👌. Crusoe always in his best.. what a happy little boy🥰
😊🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
Thanks Fatima! ❤️❤️
Love land. I was thinking love shack. Lots of land to love. 💙🩷💙💙🫶🫶🫶🫶🌷🪻🌷🪻 Absolutely beautiful family and home. May God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Did he just throw mud on your phone? He’s all boy!!! I love that he knows he can go play in the dirt/mud and it’s alright. Just wait until Sawyer is up and following Crusoe around on the farm, they will have big fun exploring every inch!!!
