    Your chickens make me smile, they are quite beautiful and they find creating places to potentially lay there eggs. Good job on the mushroom hunt! Can’t wait to see the kiwi plants grow over the compost. And you are really for planting early for next year as you can start them in the greenhouse. Lot’s of things accomplished and although it is cooler some days, there is the sun on some days as well. Thanks you for the video!

    • @portugalitis

    Another busy week you have had. What variety of Kiwi Fruit did you plant. There is a green and also a gold variety. The gold is much sweeter than the green. I hope they grow well for you. You have a great store of preserves, so good to make use of all of your garden and the mushrooms in the forest.

Few people here grow Kiwifruit in urban areas for the space and canopy they require, but I recall neighbours from my childhood, when properties were larger, who had huge sprawling plants as big as your large barn. When grown commercially, they are heavily pruned.

      If kept in a dark place oil usually lasts about 3 years, not sure if plastic effects that, we were talking that we need to invest into metal storage container, because them plastic 5 liters containers are not free obviously, and once opened it can’t be sealed properly, even they only cost around 50 cents but still to have something we can use again and again is more appealing 👍
