- With temperatures of 43C (110F) in the summer and winter falling to -4C (25F) and only 200mm (8") of rainfall each year, what food can be grown? We install air conditioning to combat the very high summer temperatures.

House renovation is thirsty work, especially an old Finca (Spanish farmhouse), so if you would like to buy us a coffee or even a beer, you can do so here: www.buymeacoff.... It would be very much appreciated.

You work hard friends ,now your house looks like a real villa in the desert,congratulatios
Love how you both work with nature, working in harmony with the land
Love the plants Sharon, I think you have a green thumb, things are growing. Andy good job in getting the air conditioning installed, going to be really nice to have on those hot days!
What a delight to have a garden tour today!!! You’ve inspired me to get outside and start planting!!😎
Well done. 😊
Next time you drill holes in buckets/pots like that put the holes about an inch up the side so that a bit of water stays in the bottom - not enough to drown the plant - and it doesn't all run out of the bottom straight away, which would be helpful given how little water you have!
Make sure you water those trees as much as you can, especially the new ones.
You both work so hard and I wish I had a green thumb like you Sharon. The exterior of your home is looking awesome. Love watching your channel. ❤
We are the same with our air con unit, we only use it when temps are silly hot and create a lovely cool room to relax in the afternoon with our tablets to watch utube
prepare a greenhouse like they did the stable, it is useful and you put utilities in it to plant all the feeders you want and it is easier to take care of it and water it
Great asset that aircon 😊 love the upcoming gardening
Hi you two! You're so awesome with your work ethic!
On the Pomegranate tree, as it's so young, Do Google this, but my suggestion is to cut off any blooming fruit, to allow the tree to get stronger and put down deeper roots, as Pomegranates are heavy fruit and stronger your tree is, the better! 😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗💪💪💪
Good Video.
You can of course get heat from that unit, we use ours for both😊
Sharon, I don’t know how you manage to garden with one arm. Have you ever thought of landscaping with cactus and other desert type plants? Just wondering. Another good video, stay well both of you. I’m from Massachusetts. 👋❤️
How many are like me and want to be number 1 😊 I have managed 3 times 🎉
You two are so inspiring. Been watching you since you began your outside patio you two have come far. In the meantime I bought 6 acres in central portugal with a river. Still in Upstate NY USA but will be in Portugal in November to begin scoping our my new life. Thanx for all the Inspiration Cheers. soon itll be my turn
Even if you only need the air conditioner two or three times over the summer, you will certainly appreciate it over the heat on the nasty hot days. Glad to see you have the extra comfort should you need it.
love what you guys doing ,such an insipiration lots of love from South Africa Peter
HELLO SHARON & ANDY...HELLO ALFIE...HE MAKES HIS CAMEO APPEARANCE AS MUMMY NARRATES ON THE GARDEN PLANTS...AYE, AIRCON...NOT MY BAG, I'M AFRAID, BUT, LOOKING GOOD, JUST THE SAME!...ALL THE BEST...🙏
love your blogs fab. cats like to sit and lie on anything round.. try putting a round piece of string on floor. hopefully they lie on it. keep up good blogs. o tell me if its true
Sharon why don't you put some leaf mulch around your plants - it will definitely help them 🙂
Aircon wonderful,🎉
Oh. So many think,we have the sunny weather all year. It’s, unpredictable and cold sometimes, but we love it too. You two have such a lovely way of making chores enjoyable. Love your videos. Roll on the Spanish summer. Greetings from Mallorca. X
You need to fertilize your lemon trees now and every three weeks with citrus fruits fertilizer.- blood and bone, kelp, etc., plus the mildly acidic, used coffee grains. Those leaves look too yellow to me. Look up growing lemon trees.
A small suggestion for the weeds, try plain white vinegar. It will kill the weeds and it's gone, even from soil, in about 24 hours. Come July and August you'll enjoy that air conditioner. Too bad a swimming pool isn't feasible.
😮 above ground one ❤
Theyre not weeds, they are soil fixers, especially when the soil is dry or non existence. Encourage them rather than dig them out so as to create some organic matter. I don't know which way your water runs, when it comes! Lol, make a small swale in its path to trap it.
I appreciate that but these are actually growing out of the drive, rock solid earth and stone. We try to leave the 'weeds' on the land itself to encourage bees and fix the soil. I agree they are beautiful wild flowers, just in the wrong place 😔
@@sharonwhyler9942 sorry, I didn't mean to sound abrupt or dismissive of all your hard fought battles out there. I appreciate all your time and effort, especially in the making of the vlog and, with one hand. We have to much rain in the UK and my allotment is often flooded and unmanageable for months!. I get told to just do this that and the other. I value your reply as it makes a very good point. I actually fancy Central Portugal, Fundăo area in the next few months so maybe I will need support sometime in the future . Great vlog and wonderful workmanship.
@@R1chiesART thank you 😊
❤
do the rocks not get warm and leech moisture from your plants?
love your channel.
Hey, really nice to see all the plants, they’re all coming on great. Well done with the AC Andy, typical it would be freezing when you install it..a bit like watering your garden and then it rains ten minutes later ha ha. I think my pomegranate tree has died a death this winter, but, it is outside in the NE of England to be fair lol…mind, it survived the last few winters so I’m not giving up on him yet 😆
Thanks Mark. It's done well to survive the winters! Fingers crossed it pulls through. We're doing well now with the plants as we have 'sensibly' chosen to grow things more suited to our environment.
how is the hand doing?
Thanks for the your of your veggies and fruit. Did you know that the plant behind your asparagus is a sour fig, indigenous to South Africa? We used to use the juice for insect bites and sunburn. In theory thr fruit is edible, but perhaps an acquired taste 😂
It is sour fig and we were unaware of it's properties. We know it as Ice plant and locally it's known as Torrevieja weed as it grows almost anywhere round here.
👍😎🍻
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Are you all going to have a grass lawn or just have rocks and dirt around all the time? I just don't ever see much green around that land? But I could be mistaken?
😅in the south of spain, grass 😂😂😂😂
@@HeidiPriest I assume that means, it's just rock and dirt?
@@mocarra100 be a crime we have so little rain
@@HeidiPriest oh no, not at all. I was just curious about the landscape around you, is all. Sorry if you took it personally. It was just a question.
Grass is impossible to grow here. We have to settle for rocks and dust 😂
Pity that you have to install a AC unit, they are so ugly.
Agreed
❤
