We're completing the first phase of our stone house renovation in Portugal. It may be a small step in the grand scheme of things, but it's made the most incredible difference to how the house looks. We're also sharing what we're planting in the vegetable garden this month.

  • By the time my son was 6 months old, he was waking 10 times per night and I was exhausted. I took him to visit my family for a couple weeks and he was disrupting the whole household….one sibling and my father working full time jobs, two siblings attending school and my mother with a big house and yard to keep up. My folks had a big cedar walk-in closet so we pushed my son’s crib in there one night and closed the door. He was well fed and warm, clean and double diapered. Because none of us could hear him crying, by the end of two weeks he was sleeping soundly all through the night. The fact that I got up every time he fussed the first six months of his life really trained him in bad habits: my fault, not his. When we returned home my husband was shocked that the baby now slept through the night! He is 54 yrs. old now and the most wonderful son I could have ever had. I love him to bits!

  • Hello Newby's... so much progress, I love how you incorporate souvenirs from your travels. My mother used to sew her squash seeds to dry them out. She would put the needle and thread through the pointy part of the seed, and separate them so they don't touch. The seeds that aren't moldy can still be used.

    • That’s a very interesting way of drying seeds. I have several round tin trays that I use with a cut paper bag lining it. I just spread the seeds out and stick the tray on top of the fridge or a shelf and leave it alone for a day or two and then mix it up with my fingers to feel how it’s drying and I continue that process until it’s dry to the touch. Then I leave it there for a couple more weeks just to be safe. And it doesn’t hurt to mix them every once in awhile.

  • High guys, a hint for your seed saving, dry them out on a paper towel and wrap up in a different one, save in a dry jar with a hand full of rice. Also when your rhubarb gets started, feed it with chicken manure.

  • Hello Tara, First for storing Tomatoes and cucumbers which have a wet seeds that need to be fermented to eliminate the gel residue. Allow your tomatoes and cucumbers to “ripen fully which is important for reproduction”and then scoop out the seeds with the gel. Add the seeds with the gel to a glass jar filled with water and place it in a warm room. Stir the mixture twice daily; after 5 days, the seeds should sink to the bottom. Drain the water through a strainer the seeds, rinse them properly, and spread them out on paper towels or a plastic tray to dry. To dry, place your seeds in a “ cool, dry location away from direct sunlight”. Not in the greenhouse. if using glass jars ascondensation can cause mold. Also, exposure to temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit will harm the seeds. Just be sure they are dried thoroughly out before storing. I use a old screen door hanging horizontally in shed with good ventilation. Then they dry from the bottom as well as the top, so you can spread them out and they get air without having to turn them like you would on a cookie sheet. Seeds can be stored in containers and plastic bags , paper envelopes. I store mine in envelopes or brown paper sandwich bags and have good luck as they are able to breathe. Good luck.

Tara, you are turning into a gardening guru, will be exciting seeing everything grow and thrive. Don’t worry about the Pizza oven, I am sure it will look fine once you have finished. You both have the talent to jazz it up to a point of where you are happy with its look ( maybe tiles ). Keep positive Tara. Joao is such a big part of your family and is so lovely with the boys, you can see a bond growing there with Crusoe. Once the boys are in their own room Sawyer may settle a bit better at night.

  • Great projects advancing on all fronts! Tara, keep faith in your ability to build useful and attractive stonework - it gets easier the more you practice. A practical tip you may want to investigate: think mainly in terms of building a regular 'face' to the wall (the rest is just filling!) To help with this check out use of a stringline. John, slightly surprised seeing you butt the roof tiles to the wall without flashing to master the junction - would be dodgy to rely on a cement fillet over the top... 🙈😁

  • Remember on our podcast you met Jack, he is our second child as well - and he isn't a good sleeper - he is 2 months older than Crusoe, and we are now 3 years on and the little monkey still wont sleep - so i feel the exhaustion you are going through!! Our first one, Thomas is 11 now, and he literally slept since 3 month old 12 hours a night.. Honestly - the contrast is madness!! Been thinking about your kitchen/pizza oven area. Which might help you with your motivation - build it first of all out of concrete blocks - then clad it with the stones afterwards. You could then form a concrete top to it, and then build your pizza oven above it. Could even plumb a sink into it too. It will go up quicker and you'll see progress for your motivation quicker too.

He is catching up doing things outside much more. Crusoe has really gotten into working like dad. I think when you can spend time in your project it will become what you want. When you showed it today it looked like maybe to much concrete needs some smaller rocks and make it fatter, rounder walls. You will get it. I love that Japanese flower yes save it for sure.

  • I love the way you both let your kiddos do risky things carefully and let them learn to use tools. It’s the one thing that really brings about brain development in children ( child development specialist here). Doing chores around the home and the farm from an early age is also really beneficial for children.. it’s the single most important factor in raising successful adults. So don’t listen to anyone who says differently.. it’s scientifically proven by long term research.

  • It's looking so lovely already and you've only just started! 🏡 I love that the little tiles are becoming such a signature around The Farm - I hope that the *crumbs * from the chipped tiles are still in that bag so you can hopefully repair them, if not, there's a product called Milliput which is an amazing thing for repairing items that have lost their chips etc. it's really easy to use and as easy to decorate to blend it in after it hardens. I'm keeping everything crossed for your Quince and it's migration to another area - I would think if you can take as big an area of soil with it to disturb the rootstock as little as possible it wil hopefully hardly notice what you did. 🌸🍀 With the patty pan seeds - As they look like pumpkin seeds and these can be opened to reveal the inner seed, I would try opening one of two randomly and see if they look OK. It's quite possible that the mould is only on the outer casing in which case a quick wash to remove it before planting and all should be well 🌱 If it's got inside though it might be worth chucking them and starting from scratch. Try to keep the harvested seeds next time in paper bags or envelopes so they don't sweat in storage, and then keep those bags etc. indoors safe from any damp. *Hugs * to you all! xx

    • We are so excited to have it all finished Kimberley! Thanks for the tip on Milliput, will see if we can find some here. I will definitely have a look inside one of the seeds to see if they are okay, thanks for that suggestion! Sending you lots of love and hugs 🤗❤️🙏🏼

  • Beautiful porch and the tiles are so pretty...I don´t know any store that sells terracotta tiles near you, but you could ask Joel or Mário. Maybe they can tell you or search on the internet. I know Porto has it. The parody you made with John sitting on a chair doing nothing, made me laugh a lot. It was so much fun. Ahahahahahaha! Crusoe and Sawyer always help their parents. It's so adorable to see. Thank you for the video!

  • When my son was around 12-15 months, he didn't sleep well at night. I told his babysitter to not let him nap during the day, and he soon started sleeping through the whole night. Just a share.

  • Every child is so different aren’t they? I think Sawyer will be likely to sleep better once he transitions to his own bed. One of my own woke up five times a night until he was two. It was so hard to get anything done. I’m glad you can be real about the frustrating aspects of parenting. You certainly have two very happy children so you are doing it right. Sending much love to you tired mama. This too shall pass !!!

  • To determine if seeds are viable, put them in a clear plastic food storage bag inside a damp paper towel and check it everyday for signs of sprouting. They should germinate in 7-10 days for patty pan squash at 85 F or 29 C.

  • Tara: To test your squash seeds, select 10, place them between two damp paper towels or cloth, place them in a warm, dark place, and keep the cloth damp for a few days. Within five or six days you should see viable seeds begin to sprout. You can calculate your percentage of germination from the number of sprouting seeds. This saves space and time. You can plant the sprouted seeds, and then decide how many of the moldy seeds you should plant to get the number of squash plants you want for the season. I love watching your videos, and just realized I had, not yet, subscribed. Fixed that today.
