Hii, just wanted to let you know that a scammer is using your name to get people into their private telegram chat. Please be careful❤️
@@accy5034 We hate hearing this. Please mark it as spam and report it. Thank you.
It will be nice when all your garden plants start to grow. And you will be able to enjoy all the fresh veggies. Brittany you are so tiny and beautiful ❤

There’s nothing better than organic gardening. I’m so glad you found someone who is so knowledgeable to help you. I learned from my grandmother and taught my daughter. It’s amazing.
Growing a garden is a very rewarding experience. Eating your own chemical free foods is super satisfying. This man is a treasure to beginners and his knowledge is wonderful. You have a wonderful community of beautiful people who are willing to share their lifes knowledge with you. This has been one of my favorite videos so far,all the with the garden. ❤❤❤
Awe! love this! 🥰 We really appreciated having his knowledge and insight. 🙏
It's a hand cultivator, it works better with damp soil.😊
Terry is one interesting bloke. Amazing level of knoledge.
How cool to have such a knowledgeable person to guide you on your first garden ❤
A student of soil science and a food garden educator, this episode made my heart so happy! I ADORE seeing people plant their first garden. One of my favourite experiences ever was teaching a worm composing and balcony gardening workshop at a community centre in my neighborhood, then, a few months later, running into someone who took the workshop and having them tell me all the things they had growing. Growing your own foods is an incredibly joyous and satisfying process. Welcome! ❤🌱🌻🥦🍓
Hi kids, Get your asparagus and artichokes planted ASAP. They take about 3-4 yrs to start to really produce. Kinda like trees. They multiply so they'll need a lot of their own space to live for years. Strawberries in a contained space need their own bed too. If you plant mint IN POTS and place everywhere to naturally repel rodents. Pots because if you plant in ground it spreads like wild fire and will take over the garden. Don't forget cat nip :)
Lol..the cats love cat nip. I can never keep them in my garden because the cats eat them to the ground. Yes, mint is good to grow, but it will spread and root everywhere!
Love Terry’s passion. How fortunate you are to have met so many wonderful talented people.
How freaking lucky you are to have met Terry. He has set you up to proceed your garden forever. What a lovely man. I’m looking forward to seeing your garden grow.❤️❤️
Terry knows of what he speaks. Very solid info.
Nothing better than sleeping with the kitties. I love how much they love you.
Outside kitties typically have a lot of fleas. I wouldn't have them sleep with me. Watch to see if you start seeing flea bites on you. My old house was infested with fleas when I moved in and we still have them. We fight them daily. I have bites all over me because I sleep with 2 of my dogs and my kitty has them and she's inside. I tried flea medication on my dogs and it caused rashes on them so I just comb them and kill the fleas I catch in a small container of laundry detergent.....it's awful!
us toooooo 😽😽😽
You really have found yourself some good people to help you with everything. Their experience and knowledge is simply outstanding. Absolutely nailing it! ❤
20:10 That English man is full of useful information in regards to making compost. He made very important note to avoid Citrus fruit when making compost as you are working against yourself due to high PH level which bacteria can't survive 👍
We love how ~Britany encompasses even a cardboard box into the family dynamics’s with ~Drew. Blessings to the five of you!😻🫶
There are certain plants that grow very well together like lavender ,sweet basil and tomatoes !
I think it's Marigolds that keep harmful insects away. There are probably other flowers & plants that serve similar jobs as "natural pesticides".
There are so many fantastic KZhead gardening channels out there like Charles Dowding, Huw Richards, No-Till growers, Aelf Sufficient Me, and The Gardening channel, to name just a few.
Are the Newby's watching!? Tara loves all these gardening ideas, she really loves her garden! Terry is extraordinary, he has some real knowledge about nature's wonders!🌷🌺🌸
Yes they are! 😉
I'm so excited that you're now planting , renewing soil health and building a sustainable garden on your property. Glad you hooked up with Terry to show you how to turn composting and all its elements into your very own garden of Eden. We're all looking forward to seeing how your garden grows.
I LOVED this vlog !!! I love to garden and seeing all your garden steps and garden supplies shopping . Terry is a jewel in the garden dept !! What a lovely community you have !
How lovely to see you beginning to grow your own food. A super next step in your home-making.
It's amazing how much impact you can have on somebody's project with half a day giving it a jumpstart.❤
Great to see Terry again! How generous of him to share his knowledge with you.
From my husband and I who have gardened for over 25 years. . . . Enjoy everything you will learn and take with you through every season. Just wonderful
A beautiful educational video today. Terry is a master in helping you make headway on your gardening plans. You’ve surely been blessed with meeting up with the right folks who know a lot!! 👍🐈🌺🐈
Tnx a million for sharing your knowledge, Terry🙏
Your terraces are going to look so beautiful when you have everything growing😊
You can never learn too much about growing your own food. All fruits and veggies love compost. Those strawberries will spread. I have 40 plants and still not enough. ❤❤❤
I don't know where you find all of these talented/knowledgeable people, but they are amazing and are turning your property and watermill into a Shangri-La. I couldn't be more excited for you. I hope your gardens are large enough so that you can produce enough food to take you through the off seasons as well.
What a great video! Brittany, it would be so fun and cute if you made some terrace signs with your artistic talents and gave each one a unique Portuguese name to identify them instead of terrace #1, terrace #2. 🎉 All that space is so great and beautiful!
Hello Brittany and Drew. There is a grass called vetiver, it is a erosion control grass. It you'd be lovely between trees above castle. It's root system works as a mesh to hold hill sides together,it also can be used by swimming hole as a natural water purifier . Please look it up🧐it a brilliant grass .Also beatiful
Also good for fire break.
Yay! I was hoping you would receive this message. Vetiver is used all over the world for the exact challenges you have on your property. erosion,water fire and so much more.❤
I do so enjoy your videos. You are creating a beautiful paradise!
By planting a few french marigold which is known for there strong scent, around tomato plants they will send most flying pest packing.
Wow,it's cool how Penny and Tim's visit effected the cats sleeping area. Isn't that softly amazing. Yippie
Great video. I can't believe how tame the formerly half-wild kitties have become since you took them in. They know a good thing when they see it. 😊
Aren't they the BEST!? 😻
What a blessing it is to have someone with so much knowledge and enthusiasm to come give you a hand with the start of your garden. It's definitely the right way to create a community that everyone benefits from each other's help.👍
Dirt is what you clean out of your house. Soil is what plants grow in. Love what you’re doing. Keep making it green.
Yes! Thank you 💚
@@Mrandmrsadventure I’m going to make my brother watch tonight. Amazing information. Chocolate tea for the garden and some lemon thyme tea for me.
This was very good lots to learn with your friend. The job you done so far in your paradise is astonishing. See you Sunday 😊
I’m so glad you let the cats inside. They look so health and happy. ❤️😊
Wow! What a wealth of gardening knowledge from your friend! Love the tomato, “that’s not a nose” lol!
😆🤭🍅
A masterclass in how veggie gardens should be done. I am curious about the garlic, though. I was taught you plant in the beginning of autumn and harvest the beginning of summer, as it needs cold for the bulbs to develop. I am going to follow the progress with great interest. I am a keen no-dig gardener and have used cardboard with compost for a while, but even so, I learned a lot today. Thanks for including educational stuff like this.
The timing of year depends on your climate zone. There is both a spring and fall planting season here in Portugal.
NICE JOB GUYS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM GROWING. TERRY IS AWESOME. YOU GUYS FIND THE MOST WONDERFUL AND KIND PEOPLE. IT LOOKS AWESOME
Gosh, I’m full of admiration for the way you have reached out to locals full of knowledge and who seem to take joy in sharing that knowledge and expertise. So smart of you and it saves time & money compared to the trial & error method. Wise. Thank you for your videos, very followed you for several years. A Gram from MO 😘
We love that you have been watching and are grateful for the locals in the area that we have met. 💚💫🙏
I've been gardening for 30 years and this is a new way of planting for my experience. I do put the cardboard down and then soil, compost then plant then mulch. This process is new to me.... I am seriously so excited to see how this works. If it is successful then I'm trying this next year in my in ground garden. I'm not sure this would work in my grow boxes. Oooooh how exciting. I'm thrilled and can't wait to see your success.😍
Glad u guys found Terry. Even I have learned a lot.. My Sundays are the best with u guys … Thanks!!!
Yay! You made it to the planting season. I know you've been waiting and waiting for this. So happy for you.
That was amazing how that all came together. Never even thought of using cardboard, What a great idea.
Oh my... I need a Terry to come help me plant a garden like that. Great video!
What a pleasure watching Terry share and teaching you his gardening techniques. Happy Gardening this season and loads of abundance
It was only a matter of time before they decided to sleep inside, it's so nice to see that you have been officially adopted lol.❤
What a fun gi to jump start your happy garden. Building a great cast of characters for rich grassroots movement. 🌱🍀
The kitties really love you both….quite amazing considering how they were when you adopted them! Terry knows all about organic composting true professional! You both have such a wonderful amount of “good” people around you! 💜💙🇦🇺🐨🍻
Maybe one day you can have stone steps between two or more of the terraces. I love what you are doing with your land. Love from 🌻🇬🇧🐈 xxx
You find the best help and resources in your community.
Wow, I have never seen the cardboard thing. So amazing to learn all this stuff as you guys move through your build. you find the greatest people there to help you out. I can't wait to see the growth of your new garden. I love the compost soil idea . it is amazing how yeast and bacteria work together to form new life.
I absolutely love your videos! Terry is DA MAN planter extrordinnaire!
That tool is great for weeding between rows of crops. -- I wish you could do hydromulch on the 'walls' to your tarrises. --- Suggest, pant an asparagus patch, it takes a couple of years to produce well, but starting year 3 it is amazing what a few plants can produce.
Great idea! 💚 We love asparagus
Wow! Veggies will be so healthy to eat!! This is amazing!!!👍😊👍 GREAT job! 👏👏👏👏👏 I love watching your kitties, so adorable 🐈😻🌟✨️
Love the terraces and so glad you got a Permaculture guru to help you. So excited to see your land evolve and transform. ❤
The kale you saw and touched are collard greens, “couves”. They do well in Portugal. They are a must in a Portuguese garden. They are used in Portuguese cuisine, especially for “caldo verde”, the popular Portuguese soup. You will find this soup in many Portuguese restaurants. Farmers also cut them, mix it with water and a bit of flour, and feed them to the chickens.
We will have to plant some. That's right! The famous dish 💚
🥹 I am probably old enough to be your Mom ❤ and want you to know that out of ALL the KZhead channels I watch 🙈 YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!! 🎉 I am embarrassed 😳 to admit that my only deep breath each week is with YOU!! 🤗 Thank you Brittany. ❤ #davesandersstepdaughter 🇺🇲
The kitties know how good they have ot with you..there are like we better stay close maybe we are going back to the old place...but we love it here and we love Britt and Drew so we gonna cuddle up with em and make sure they know how much we appreciate how well they take care of us OXOOXOXO
They add a lot of flavors and fun to our lives and we like them close. Their previous owners have come to visit and they cats seemed pretty confused by there voices. "Like man, I like this place. Can we stay?" 🤣😻 xoxox
You guys are making such good progress. The property is really coming to life. It's so heartwarming to see this, especially when you have wonderful people like Terry in your community who are so willing to help. I can't wait to see your garden flourish! 💚 As for those kitties..... 🥰
What an interesting vlog. Love the reciprocal love between yourselves and your kitties ❤
Always forget and then love the deep breath in the beginning!❤
Wow!! I had no idea there were people like Terry. What a wealth of knowledge! So excited to see everything to start growing!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗🌱
This was quite the lesson. Never have I gardened like this. You should have a spectacular garden and wonderful fresh food. Well done ❤😊
I love when you take us shopping! ❤ Seriously.
This is going to be a beautiful place! The before and after is already amazing!!
Move that tool with a push pull back and forth motion to bury the seed in the soil. I love mine. You can also use it to break the soul up so the rain speaks in and do it again to loosen up the garden soil to pull the weeds.
Great episode, loved it and you've been blessed with so many wonderful people there! Thumbs up to Terry with my #112 I hit for you both!
That was fascinating. I don't know how you find the best artisans/tradespeople/experts, but I feel like I'm learning so much. Super entertaining. My favourite channel. ☺️
Would LOVE to see a field trip to his home garden area and can’t wait to see your gardens grow. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us all.
Hi Drew , here is what we used to break up and release the goodness in clay. Gypsum Clay Breaker helps improve the physical condition of heavy clay soils. Soil particles are brought together into clumps, thus enabling better water penetration. Root development and the intake of other essential nutrients are assisted by this products' calcium content. I also use the cardboard method. Having a tarp and bunny cords are very handy to have in the car for the you buy straw. If you're growing blueberries, keep your coffee grounds, compost them in a worm farm to provide super food for the blueberries. I loved seeing your permaculture guy at work. He sounds quite a learned and practiced gent. His knowledge ia like gold. I love Ruth Stout.
I just love the old school stores and supply businesses.
Dois seres humanos que fazem o paraíso, o país que ponha os olhos neste casal que está a fazer aquilo que muitos locais já perderam o interesse da suas terras.
Viajamos pelo mundo durante vários anos e achamos que este é o melhor clima do mundo. É complicado porque muitos portugueses têm tanto interesse pela agricultura e jardinagem e se afastaram de áreas tão bonitas. Nossa esperança é que inspiremos alguns a voltarem a se adaptar a esse tipo de estilo de vida. 🇵🇹
You backed that trailer up like a pro!
Practice has made me a lot better. 😁
What a great video, you guys! Love the composting and learning from someone who knows all about it. Can't wait to see what beautiful veggies you grow.
Sooo interesting and exciting guys!! YESsss, Plant-Babies are fun🌼🌼🌼😁
There’s a lady on KZhead from California that shows her beautiful garden that she treats with the worm tea like this gentleman is doing for you. She swears by it that it will take away insects that eat on the leaves as well as fungus like spots and things like that that you’ll notice on your plants. Anyway, if I can find that video with her, I will send it . I think she uses the worm castings not the actual worm itself, but I may be wrong anyway when I find it, I’ll send it.
Very cool! Our climate is sooo similar here. That would be interesting to see. 😊
@@Mrandmrsadventure Yes....worm castings. But you can also....buy some 'worms' to add to your soil.
Love listening to Terry explain it all.
Thats wonderful news that the cats are sleeping with you now, what a wonderful family you make. Great to see Terry again and really interesting seeing the process, just wish I had an area to garden in x
You can’t get more organic than this!
Such a nice guy to help you out with the garden ❤
Thank you! What a learning channel you have created. I love that we can learn so much from you.
I really enjoyed this week’s episode. I’m really interested in Terry’s work. Thanks so much ❤
Thanks you two. Great golden icon of the property at beginning of video. 🙂🙂
Loved this video with Terry's gardening tips, keep them coming please
Amazing ... Am so loving your journey as you discover new adventures within creating your own property ... Loving the videos ... love the garden created ... Thanks for sharing your journey with us .. xx
Im so happy to see it all getting together. Love the videos and keep it up much love
So happy for you both on all the great work you guys are doing omg it’s looking 👀 amazingly beautiful God bless you both always.thank you for the adventures ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏾🥰🥰
Garden Weasel!! Your little soil buster...Mainly designed to cultivate between rows to weed the garden... Have fun with it!!! 🙂
Fascinating! What a great way to get your garden. Can’t wait to see it come to life so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Wow, I had no idea how much was involved in organic planting. Thank you for the education. Your terraces are going to look amazing when all is said and done. Can’t wait to see it develop as the months go by.🥰
Glad your getting help in the garden, compost tea is smart natural way to feed your plants. If you add a bubbler stone it helps mix and oxygenate it as well Please learn from my own past mistakes. Your terraces are very rocky (aka dirt) and you may have issues getting them to hold moisture, a 2-3 inch layer of sand with another few inches of topsoil on top will go long way to help you get the most of them.. I would just push the extra dirt downhill from digging the holes, and leave the hole so when you layer new SOIL in it fills said holes.. talk with others about a good run off plan as well, swells on the edge work well if you add drain tile over flow along them before backfilling. Mesh fabric is great along the hillside face to help control run off on them, as the plants grow through them it helps hold it all in place. Love the extra large terrace, be nice place for a small barn in the future and grass to raise a few animals on. P.s. You can cut the cost on topsoil alot by talking to local farmers and asking to by up any old mature piles, you can then mix it with straw and alot less top soil for a great top layer for you terraces. Warning though if it really fresh you may need to let it leach out a season so it's not to hot (nitrogen rich) for you plants and causes with them.
Very interesting! Looks wonderful! Yay Terry! 😎😊❤
I read Ruth Stouts book many years ago. It’s such an easy simple way of gardening. I can’t wait to see your garden grow.
absolutely brilliant!!!! what a blessing to have such talented, gifted people like terry and others who have been contributing to building a stellar foundation with you for your life at the mill in portugal. stoked for you. continued travel mercies and blessings. 🕊
Love your caterpillar garden!
Interesting. So much potential on your terraces. You have enough room on the terraces to feed the local village, goats, and a few sheep. Will be watching to see how your garden grows.
Hooray for Terry, he is amazing! I learned so much from this video. Cannot wait to start gardening. It is still too cold where I live, but spring is arriving!
I love that the cats sleep with you. i have 2 cattledogs and a German SHepherd.... they know where to go, and we all get a long all night.....
