Wonderful video. I now have a dream too.

I came over from Luke and Sarah’s channel. I am binge watching your earlier vlogs. Ye are doing great work fair play to ye. Should your name not be spelled “Maraid”? What does Dan do for a living? How did ye meet?

I am playing 'catch-up' from your 1st video, resisting the temptation of watching the current videos, so this may be totally out of date! The plans look wonderful. You'll have a beautiful home when done. I am in awe of all the very hard work you have put into your land and your success growing fruit and veg. My preserving days are over and much missed, as are the 4 allotments we used to rent. Enjoy your life, make the most of every day and have fun always...

Love your land layout! ❤❤❤

❤❤❤

Bedankt

Another great video 😊 Can you you tell me please, what flower is that peach and magenta coloured one? It's bloody gorgeous 😍

Thank you for another fabulous video! You both work so jolly hard and your land is fertile because you have composted and mulched and loved it to within an inch of its life! What an awesome job you both do! Just love the music too!

Hi, my name is Noeleen… I found out about you guys from Luke and Sarah.. my fellow malteser friends in Portugal 😅 we are located in Covilha region, so not too far away from you two. Lovely piece of property you got.. can’t wait to keep watching your videos and learn a thing or two. All the best x

Dear Meriad and Dan, I have been watching from the beginning and have liked every video until now, but have never commented. You cannot imagine how your videos have helped me through a very difficult time. I'm very ill and my recovery is uncertain and will take months, but you have delighted and engaged me so much. Thank you! I will continue to watch through the coming months and maybe start at the beginning again and again. Good luck with your beautiful Quinta and your life. Love Josh

re-binge-ing all your wonderful doings, filming (that lil drone is a beauty) n your wonderful team of builders n stonemasons. I'm a kiwi n find all their skills so admirable. As an organic gardener myself ( therefore into the magic of soil enrichment, especially in situ....cant see the point of carting stuff from one end to the other when nature does it so much better) I'm wondering why you don;t have a ride-on mower with catcher to capture all the grass clippings for mulch/weed control, rather than a strimmer (weed eaters we call em here!).There are different sizes to suit turning paths within large areas so they don't have to be huge things n cost mega dollars. I've found over the years that the mix of nitrogen (clippings) with the carbon (chips, chopped branches, leaves etc) made creating areas n improving soil just so easy

That's how I found your channel, Luke & Sarah!

Go to the Lime Quarry, someone showed it a while ago when they were building I cannot even remember who it was I watch so many Portuguese channels, but it was wonderful to see.

This is great, my friend (new subscriber)

inspirational....everything about you two n what you're doing. Your peace is infectious

Your garden is so beautiful and lush.

You two are so funny 😂

Yes I agree about Luke and Sara, that’s how I saw your videos whilst watching them. I just binge watched the whole of your videos

your house promises to be fabulous!

Xin chào bạn. ❤❤❤❤

Great to see Sarah and Luke visiting your beautiful garden. ❤ from Thailand

Absolutely amazing find❤

from NZ...you two are divine....inspirational. i'm an olde organic gardener n both your garden n build are a joy. have you thought of a wooden floor for the deck, ie planks? wood would fit so nicely with the stone...n i know that Aussie decks have to withstand the extremes....n wood's so much nicer to walk on barefeet than pavers or tiles XXXXX

That nectarine tree is beautiful! Thankyou for your comment about the tomatoes on a string to get the light. I never quite understood it as I’ve never heard of tomatoes on a string here in Australia. We are always recommended to pinch out the inner stalks for airflow and just stake up. Light is not so much of an issue here in our summer! Your gardening practices in Portugal are closer to the Aussie way I reckon! Cheers to you, and a tap on the balcony? Absolutely! 😊😊

Hi Meriad and Dan, thank you for sharing another great video with us, always informative and such a joy to watch, we look forward to seeing your progress on the house and also the veggie garden. Thank you for sharing, Coen and Jay xx

You have the right idea with your pruning's. If you have bare soil, direct mulch. The greens will cool the soil, reduce evaporation so the soil will readily accept water when it comes, shade out weeds and begin decomposing, creating a home for all manner of beneficial soil builders. It's never to soon to begin experimenting with a drip irrigation system. The preferred manufacturer in Portugal is Rivulus. Search for the master stocking distributor in Portugal (may have to use Spain). My most recent homesteader friend reports his watering time went from 36 hours (hand watering with hose) a week to 3 hours a week (5 hectare system with manual valves - his choice). He is in Huelva Province of Andalusia Spain. It is funny how some of us grow attached to hats :) <3

Nice to see the project going ! Hope to visite you guys one time ..... oure project is in the geoografic midle of portugal , sept a new roof! Greetz from the Netherlands 🙏🐇

Luke and Sarah sent me, great job with the garden

Superbe vidéo À bientôt

Garden is just beautiful❤

How good you met up with Luke and Sarah. Your and their channels are my most watched, how down to earth your videos are, they're so refreshing to watch. Your garden Maraid, has come on wonderfully over the years it's so fruitful, beautiful. Sarah says she is a little jealous (joking) but watch the way her garden will progress over the years, and the way Sarah loves her farm animals is beyond anything I've ever seen. My wish for both channels is that everyone pushes that, 'SUBSCRIBE' button and get you to 100,000 subscribers, come on everyone push that button.

Have you tried the Florida weave for your tomato plants? I really find it helpful when you let it grow on more than one stem!

Hi there. A tip from an Aussie. We love our,peaches and nectarines to ripen them. They are hard when you pickmthem. Leave on your counter no frig. The y will be ripe and juicy in 4 or 5 days. Yum😂😂😊

Lovely music playing in the background. Such a lovely and abundant garden.

Gunpowder is so unstable you are lucky you didn't get a spark, the creator of gunpowder was killed by his invention!!! That smashed vessel looked to be made of lead. Quite a stash.

Lovely artichokes! 👍 I love your veggie garden!❤ Thank you for sharing this video - watching home progress is absolutely entertaining!👍🥰👍

I enjoined the music as much as the video !!!!!!! great choices !!!! Everything is coming along , the garden and the house are looking spectacular , I am sure looking forward to see it, and don't worry the HOT months are almost here, summers in Portugal are hot and rain free. Saudades .

There’s a big difference in the building now.

Like your choice of music 😊

I think I'm here as we can watch all of the progress from the start... and Go through the journey with you 😊 Looking forward to future videos already!

Nice to see you both back😊

That ring beam is massive!

4:39 water, sand, sun. Looks like vacations :)

Sounds a bit like Ireland with all that rain. Only difference is we can't bank on any summer at all, still waiting! Your garden looks fabulous, full of colour 🙂

👏👏👍💐

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, what a beautiful garden good work 👍😁 the house is coming along nicely 😀.

so happy for you both.

So nice to see your visit from Luke n Sarah n Molly. The loveliest couple. Your house build is looking great, you must be excited for all the wonderful things to come. 😊💗🇨🇦

Once i saw a garden of Eden in all it's beauty, mainly colored in deep lush green, full of flowers - lots of ripe fruit in between. Vegetables in well kept old fashioned garden beds, surrounded and guarded by old wine bottles upside down ... Let's not forget the hazelnut hedges -- and the four cherry trees on the edges... Once i saw a garden of Eden...

Quem não conhece Sarah, Luke e Molly 🐕 😊!!! A Sarah estava maravilhada com o vosso jardim 😊 são mãos de FADA 🧚‍♀️
