Hey y'all! Hope you enjoyed watching the process of our first major project on our new homestead. Next week we'll be showing you the entire process of how we build a brand new pond and introduce Muscovy ducks to it. Hope to see you there!

Welcome to Portugal , I'm a subscriber of your channel for some time and have learned a lot from your videos , I come back to Portugal last year after living 20 years in England , brought my British wife and two young boys and the plan was to home school them for the first 2 years , my wife has a master's so we thought that would be enough but when we approached the local school they refused on basis that my wife doesn't speak Portuguese , although might vary from region to region you out check the legalities of home schooling in Portugal ,I'm in distrito of Lisbon conselho of Lourinha , thank you for choosing Portugal , you and people like you that are taking on this abandoned forgotten places are making my country a better place , wish you and your family all the best , thank you for sharing your amazing journey
Again, loved the music and the "more show, less talk" version. I like when you explain things though, but sometimes it is good to get lost in the HAPPENING. :)
We really appreciate your good heart and thank you for sharing with us these excellent videos!
2:25 is your property a wash out from a flooded river?
Paradise is built on very hard work. Thanks for posting your video's.. absolutely love them.
More videos please. I can't wait to see how things are going.
E With orange blossoms you make the basis of expensive perfumes, a perfume of paradise ❤️❤️❤️❤️😆
You both and your team are VERY productive. Amazing the amount of effort you have to put into creating your own little garden of Eden!
Really a paradise....it's like a dead island that is reborn with your help sir.....
Looks like your backhoe man is going to get some work on his schedule. This is going to be a great lifes adventure.
I can already tell I'm going to love this channel and what you're doing. The driveway turned out beautiful.
I'm happy to hear that!! Hope that it will continue to please you :)
Please name some of these machineries
Roadbuilding was a key step in developing the Roman Empire. I expect it will work for your farm too. Continued good luck. Glad to see trees started. When people ask what's the best time to plant a tree, the classic answer is 20 years ago. Starting with trees is a great initial step for planting. Roads and trees are essential infrastructure.
Thank you! Trees were one of our priorities when buying this land. We already planted quite some of them, but I think we're going to keep adding to the diversity every single year;)
Appreciate ur efforts plans & actions which bore fruits of ur labor in a new successful homestead and farm abundant w fruits vegetables and animals. Admirable! Worthy of accolade and exemplary excellence!
Brilliant 👏 hard work pays 👏 excellent 👌
Adding some voice over to explain the decision process and the steps you're taking would make these videos so much more enjoyable! Love watching the build.
indeed! why are you adding straw?
@@Ruunerwold I think it serves the same purpose as mulch with having to water it less due to the fact that it may keep moisture in the soil for longer periods of time
@@Ruunerwold mulch, moisture retention, weed suppression
I'm so happy and excited for you! This is exactly what I want to be doing in the next few years. I liked the video of you all working, but one suggestion if you're going to have long sections of video with no dialog would be to add closed captions describing what you're doing and the plants you've selected. Looking forward to your next update!
Hi Andy, thank you so much for your feedback. Good idea! I'll try to see what I can do to include this in the next videos. I wish you all the best on your own journey and you'll be able to follow your dreams!
I also dream to do but wish someone to reach with that distinction
Those are going to be one of the most language rich kids ever. You've raised your kids in france, live in portugal, but you still talk dutch to them. Chapeau
Your backhoe operator was such a pro! it’s always fun to watch somebody who has those kinds of skills that makes the machine look like an extension of his hand. Your new driveway looks incredible. Progress!!! 🙌
He was indeed! Thanks!!
Also luckily, he wasn't the grumpy type of guy ;)
Dang! You guys did such a great job! I’m excited to see your progress!!!
Thank you! :)
Paradise in progress.
🎉 congratulations 🎉🎉🎉!
Bless you!
It is a such a joyful encounter again, especially to watch a dream realized and can't find any hard laboring work more rewarding than grounding ourselves. Big thanks !
I can't wait to see the irrigation being set up for the orchard!
Qué fantástico trabajo que estás haciendo, con tu trabajo, tu vida y tu familia.
Felicidades
Thank you!
Your videos are amazing,,, waiting for next video 😍🙏
I enjoyed the part which that the whole family is planting trees.❤️🤝🤝🤝Super.
I am soooooooo happy for you and your family. Looking forward to all the videos ❤✌🏾
Never heard term “Food Forest” before. LOVE IT!
I will definitely keep and watch this process with your family 😊
We Missy you. We love all you and your family work. We are so excited about this opportunity to learn more about your new ideas. Good luck!!!
So cool to see how well you guys are doing! Been following the vids and mails for some years now, it's just so good to see this next step. I wish you all the luck and happiness. Blessings.
Thank you Graham, much appreciated!
Paradise in making
I AM absolutely blown away at your intelligence and wisdom!!!! #1, fix a road so we can access. #2 plant fruit bearing trees!
Awesome video 😊 soooo exciting to follow from the very beginning can't wait 🥰🇦🇺
Thanks Jodie! It is exciting to share this with you!! :)
Glad to see you posting videos again we’ll look forward to more!!!!!
Guys, I´m genuily happy for you, but next time:
1. Loosen the roots before planting - that enables them to spread out and grow in all directions (otherwise the roots might be stuck in the same form they used to grow in the container and it could take them years to grow into the surrounding soil - during that time you have to water heavily, as the plant only has a very limited space for its roots and therefore area to get water from...).
2. Some of the holes were rather small - in that kind of conditions (dry, hard, likely not very nutritious soil) might be better to dig a larger hole for the purpose of loosening the substrate and making it easier for the roots to penetrate. Also, I´d certainly add some more compost/rotten manure and mix it with the surronding soil, as these plants (judging by their looks) spent their whole life in a perfect environment. It seems like a lot of fuss, but trust me, it pays off - once you create more favourable conditions at the start you get more robust and healthier plants later.
Wishing the best of luck to you! Jan
I’m loving watching this ❤
Very excited for you guys I love your Market Garden videos in France but I think I'm gonna enjoy these far more
I am sooooo jealous of you guys
Very great planning
Inspirational!
Glorious! And your man there has some serious Bobcat skills...
Glad to see you all doers never stop doing
Way To Go! Cannot wait to watch your new homestead!!!👍🏼💜🌸
Looking forward to document every step of the process and share it with you :)
Congratulations with your new land in Portugal. I saw some of your videos before. I love seeing how you and your family are all working together on this project!
Congrats!!!!! I hope you and your lovely family achieve your goals very soon!💕🌺
If you still have the bobcat you found place large boulders around the trees as thermal mass for winter freezing protection.
Started following your channel today and have already learned a lot. I am also happy to be on board on the journey you and your family are starting as I am planning to do the same with mine here in South Africa. Good luck and hoping to learn a lot from your journey.👌🏾
That's awesome, can't wait for the next episodes :)
Thank you! Looking forward to share the next projects with you :) !
Good Job already 👍 . I'm excited to see what comes next 🙂
Thank you!! See you on Tuesday;)
put bees, you will have propolis, honey, wax and you will pollinate the oranges and the vegetable garden, you have to create continuous irrigation, citrus fruits love water
Ziet er prachtig uit.
Will watch every video. What fun and education.👏💕
You and your wife are amazing. Boa sorte!
Thank you!
I love your videos. i need subtitles please... good life!!!
loves from Indonesia
You should start an aquaponics farm and use that water wen you do water changes to water your trees and gardens
I know it's going to look amazing and I can't wait to see. Your beautiful vegetable garden inspired me to start my own garden, not any close to yours but I started my own. Greetings from Uganda
I am starting my own as well in America, I think we're all going to learn a lot and create something beautiful on our respective continents!
WOW very exiting 😄👌
Portugal looks so much like San Diego!
Wow m'ha encantat el nou projecte que heu començat!! En un futur m'agradaria fer algo semblant, espero poder agafar moltes idees amb el que ens heu d'ensenyar i espero amb molta il·lusió que tot vagi abançant cap a l'objectiu que teniu planejat! 🤘😍
I am using your different strats in planting fruit trees. Thanks man!
Awesome, looking forward to following your progress!
Thanks!
I heard of a legend about Chinese ancient practice of traveling beggars (in the tradition of Johnny Appleseed) who plants seeds or saplings of fruits , any edibles along well traveled path . Should they or anybody happen along that path , they can forage for food sparing them of hunger. So all over China edible forest abound . Some rural folks altruistically commit to planting randomly fruiting trees and bamboos beneficial to both humans and animals. They had been thru severe hunger and famine during Mao Tse Dong's time .
Your edible forest will benefit all creatures attracting flora and fauna which helps to propagate vegetations.
I’m now on holiday and can start with a few projects.
I don’t live on my land yet, still city dwelling but am getting lovely ideas.
erg leuk om van t begin alles te volgen. dit is ook een toekomst plan in ontwikkeling voor ons :)
succes!
Awesome! Wish you all the best and good luck!
Insparative
Thank sir
its like a clip from GOLD RUSH TV... thats some site
It is a really pretty site!
@@TheDutchFarmer I hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way your site if fabulous and I envy you guy's 👍👍
I really missed ur videos . I'm glad ur back. I dream of starting my own farm but the land I have is less than ideal. I'm sure I'll be able to use some of your ideas when I get started , which will be soon. Good luck. I'm sure you will realize your dream. Blessings to you and your family.
super good. You are my bro
Thank you sir,from North eastern india
Geweldig om dit te zien 🌱 wat een zegen

This property is stunning
Amazing! Keep the videos coming!!
Super inspirerend! Ben zelf nu 4 jaar tuinder in NL met een CSA systeem. Dit wil ik ook in de nabije toekomst. Zo te zien is jullie dochter ook helemaal into wat papa en mama doen! Keep on rocking ❤!
What a lovely video, I really enjoyed it! 👍
Well done. Looking forward to updates as you move forward. Amazing Location, love it, its Beautiful : )
Didn’t see that apart from the introduction video there’s already an abundance of videos on here. Well, two more, but anyways: made my Saturday!
watch the Sicilian videos on citrus fruits, bergamot plant and lemon too
I love your lifestyle. God bless you.
Nicely done....may the road lead to gr8 successes
Great project :) I love the happy face of the bobcat operator :D
😂Same here!!

Thanks!
Mooie aflevering, wederom. Ik kijk uit naar de volgende aflevering.
Nice
You guys are just amazing keep it going ☺️☺️
very nice
happy ducks
If it helps put, it's a lady called Ellen White, who has a method to plant fruit trees check it out if you want!
Awesome. 👍👍
Thank you!
Prachtig! Ben me ook aan het orienteren, nu in Spanje Noord. Graag kom ik een keer langs met m’n bus. Zien of we elkaar kunnen helpen en uitwisselen van ervaringen 👌👍🏼☺️
Heel veel succes daar, we kijken uit naar het vervolg 👍
I'm pleased to have found your channel. We are lucky enough to have a slightly smaller parcel of land, 1.7 hectares, in Australia. We have had it for about 5 years and I love it beyond words. Still no house but we are working on it! I suspect (but do not know) that your climate there might be similar to ours and so I look forward to seeing what you plant and how you manage new trees. At our place we experience quite cold autumn/winter, and very hot and dry summers. Bushfire risk is ever present. Typical AVG rainfall is about 560ml per year, but it is enough if we plan and manage the land well. So, in that regard, I'll be on the look out for tips from you! We have no poultry yet but a few sheep and they are such a great addition to our place (although they've eaten their fair share of our newly planted trees!!!). Stay well.
Good channel.
Keep going on Sir!
Quality content as always 💯
Thank you!
I also want to do the same but, by the road there are paddy fields and the fruit tree may consume the nutrients of the paddy and the owner might get on me for doing that. I choose Mango,Jackfruit,Guava,Local Berry,Lichi,Lotkon.
Wow Good job love the videos
We would love to do something like this but land in Australia is very expensive.
Hey i like your videos alot! i am also planning to plant trees in portugal this winter. I am still trying to figure out which support trees to plant, as most of the nitrogen fixing, fast growing trees are considered invasive.
good job man. like how live camper temporary. as plant trees do think put should put some of the straw in hole with trees and dug holes bigger. this mad easer to water have water all those trees or die. also I would try get a food grade barrow set next trees. not sure how get water if have hydrant or well or garden hose. trees long way down drive. could fill buckets with lids from pond. use mope and sqeeze thing get water pond into buckets. or do what do scope out with bucket not fall in. float dock make easer get water buckets. then put lide buckets so water fall out drive with golf cart or truck on way out if leave every day go job any way. as say barrow. food grade plastic cheaper last longer or get wine barrel made oak it look good put hose spicket in it then take day real fill all barrels up with water pond. or what rain storage down line. make less hard do later. I use about 4 -5 buckets water my pond not do more that don't take all water from pond. dry years fill on my way home from work. if wet year maybe don't do that much.
Careful with the mulch there’s a lot of fires in the west
Unfortunately it's one of the very few resources we can find locally, but we've made sure to clear as much as possible around our Zone 1 area.
Brilliant!
Ben erg blij voor jullie 🙏🏻 vond het geweldig om jullie te volgen in Frankrijk , maar nu wordt het helemaal top . Jullie volgen jullie droom in het land waar ik ook onze droom volg ! Het hebben van een self sufficient piece of heaven in this world 🌎 heel veel succes en sterkte, maar jullie gaan dit zeker rocken 💪🏻
how are you planning to reduce environmental stress on the trees? The interior of central Portugal can be quite harsh to orange trees, for example...
They would need a lot of water. It would be good to see how they are going in a few years.
I would have asked the excavator operator to dig holes for the trees.
