  • Your children are so blessed to have you for parents and to live in such a magical place. I raised a boy and a girl on 135 acres in Wisconsin. They had Hills covered with trees and caves and a creek that ran through the meadow. Their tree house they made themselves and it was just planks basically a floor high up in 100-year-old cottonwood tree. Our property was nowhere near as awesome as yours and yet my children say that they were raised in an ideal place. Kids having the freedom to run and play outside and use their imagination. That's what kids in the United States are missing today

    • Hello there ~If l may ~You had a to support yourself at a steady job. Else-where. For sure. And had no time to make it look as their garden in Portugal and all the rest. ..they have been blessed to do this as a hobby . Or as fun projects. Today you tube is their job. Working on the land and their home 24/7. Lucky for the things that have changed for folks these days To enjoy to the fullest. We went to work at our boring jobs and didn’t get that lovely time doing projects.

    • Judie, there are still a lot of kids being raised in the country thankfully. City kids if they're poor don't get to venture into nature as much. I used to take my daughter to a community farm in Osceola Wisconsin. We went there on weekends to pick/harvest vegetables from Minneapolis. It was in community with the Waldorf school system. The farm bordered the St. Croix River and also had a creek with a waterfall on it that ran downhill to the river. It had farmland, pasture with native grasses and native wildflowers, and old wood forest that the creek went through. It was idyllic. Parents who raise their kids with awareness still make the effort to share the great outdoors and unspoiled nature with their kids. There's still hope for us all yet!!

  • The treehouse is a delight and I love the way you intersperse the purely fun in and around the more mundane. You are such great editors and creators of the content that means so much to all of us. To watch the boys grow is so great and I have every confidence that with the stellar parenting you give them they will grow up brave and filled with curiosity and zest for life. For me, a 73 year old woman on my own having a window on your world has been greatly healing. I send blessings to you and look forward to many wonderful episodes to come. (at home and abroad).

  • Hey Jon and Tara, I love how you are raising your kids. Just an idea, our son kept "borrowing" our tools. My father-in-law was helping us renovate our home, and I finally went to our dollar store and got him his own set of small tools. The understanding was that he could only take apart broken things, with grandpa or me, or build with scraps or approved items. Handsaws and hammers had to be used when one of us were with him. He built a lot of stuff, developed a love of mechanics and how things work, and has learned to fix things. His sister, our daughter, also learned. Imagination was encouraged. Both are now capable and happy with their lives, and can fix most anything.

  • How nice to live in a place where spring comes early. Ours is always late. So, I'll enjoy yours for now. The property look lovely with meandering paths bordered by flowers. The tree house is going to be quite roomy for little lads and great place for kid's limitless imagination and adventure.

  • Are you going to move the kitchen John built into your temporary house? I hope so. It’s lovely to see you’re moving the plants that could otherwise get destroyed when the main build starts. I love strawberries so applaud the idea of planting them in lots of places. By the way, your tree house is looking mighty so far.

  • I think that little plant with the orange flowers is called Portulaca, or Purslanes. If I’m right, they come in a bunch of different, bright colors 🥰. The mint may still grow outside the pot, because the runners get roots too.(at least the mint we grew did. It ended up taking over our whole garden 😬).

  • Here in Brazil this little orange flower you didn't know the name of, the ones beside the geranium, is called Onze Horas, which we could translate like "eleven o'clock". Because this is the hour when they usually open, cause the sun starts to be very hot and up in the sky. So these flowers, which you can find in many different colours, open and close everyday and are easy tô mantain! 😊

  • The orange flowers next to the climbing rose are iceplant. Love full sun and heat. They should cascade over. And you can snip off three- or four-inch stems and stick in the ground to root, so you'll have more. They're pretty bullet proof. Bear in mind the lemon balm and mint may sprout right out the holes in the pot and send runners through your garden. To me, best would be to plant them in, like, 12-inch pots and set them on a cement slab. The new garden looks good. Love thyme. A very pretty plant; and so many varieties. There's something called pineapple sage, which is a lovely two-plus-foot plant with red flower spikes and smells like pineapple; also bee balm (monarda) is similar, with a real sage-like scent. Both good pollinators. How is the Quince handling the transplant? Sorry for the long post ;)
