It’s great to see you’re all ok. Your children are growing and Puck seems to really enjoy the garden. I remember seeing her in your kitchen a couple of years back where she was helping you chop tomatoes you’d harvested. You are so fortunate to have such contented children. It was very touching to see a puck cut across the camera to give you a kiss. It’s the simple things in life that really matter. ❤️Angela ( South Wales)
July 3rd and my first red tomato. I think my lates red ever. The drought has slowed, we are thankful. Wishing you a wonderful harvest and summer days of joy. The grands and I did go to some swimming lessons, and they are sad to end them end. I am heading out for some jars; I suspect these tomatoes will all go red in a hurry. I will fill the dehydrator and jars too so as not to lose them. Tomato, basil, olive oil sandwich.
Lovely. Thank you! Your soil in the garden is looking so much better than it did years ago! You have been doing all the right things for your soil there. And I love your nitrogen-fixing experiment in the greenhouse! Maarten has done a heroic job with all that strimming.... The kids are getting so big!!
We SO thank you for coming back on air. Hope all goes better with you ALL. We here are hoping you got tractor fixed and will start your home this year . GOD BLESS you all.
So good to see you all,whilst I appreciate you doing weekly videos is not viable for you at the moment I must say you are missed so much your one of my favourites.Good health and gods blessings to you all x
Wonderful to see you and the kids! You've been missed! This year looks like it's going to be so fun for you! Your gardening skills and progress are gaining fantastically!!! I love the sight of today, while remembering your early days. So happy for you! You shine. And I hope you continue to shine!! 💞🤗💞🤗💞🤗💞🤗
Nice episode. Personally, I like the children, the parents, the dogs, the boars more than the beans. Your little red daughter is growing from a duck to a swan. Great to see.

Amazing watching you struggle to keep you plants healthy in the heat I struggle in the bitter cold of Ballarat Aust. Oh and our dog who loves to play zoomies. You all look wonderful.
This video inspired me to plant my cilantro seeds 💚🌱💚🌱💚 ... ok I'm back. I paused the video and planted them. It's the only thing I'm trying for this year because I am not a gardener but I love cilantro and I love seeing little green things grow. Thank you for being an inspiration to just do it 💚🌱💚🌱💚
Will definitely watch this start to finish. Missed a video like this in a while. You show many aspects of this life very beautifully and I can fully see you improved and learned a lot with time. If you have wild boards beware, they can destroy all your crops, and fences. They even attack chickens. Keep an eye on them. Most people just shoot them and eat then or feed them to dogs. They are very tasty as well. I love fava beans. They're extremely productive as well. And very tasty in a traditional dish "favas com chouriço" or "favas com ovos escalfados". They're just great! And the husks you can feed to chickens too. Anyways thank you for the video!
Thanks Luis, glad you liked it :) We haven't had any trouble with the javali so far, Louis does a great job at keeping them at a distance. I love favas too! Next year I want a whole field 😂 Favas com chourico sounds amazing...
Good that Louie keeps the wild boar at bay, I hope it keeps going like that, because they are really destructive for the crops. I never heard of them attacking chickens. Their meat is really delicious and most farmers have to hunt them or permit hunters to do it, to save their crops
It was so good to see you all. Your precious children are growing, and your garden looks healthy. Loved the wild boar clip! ❤

Watching this I'm remembering your garden from a few years ago... it's so much better this year. Every year has brought a better garden. The mulching and irrigation has vastly improved the soil... the only big thing missing seems to be a source of manure. Rabbits can provide a mild (not hot) manure that can go right into the planting beds without composting. Chicken manure needs to be semi-composted before use. My grandparents had an egg farm (& they supplied the local grocery store), so shoveling out the coop & run provided lots of good stuff for the garden, plus a source of fishing worms. Our farms were right on a river, so fishing & rowboats were a huge part of us kids growing up there. 🙂
Thanks! Working with the soil and learning more each year has definitely helped :) I agree we need more manure, but at the moment we do not want the extra responsibility that more animals bring. We'll get some other animals in the future though and rabbits are definitely an option
Absolutely wonderful video Your babies are so beautiful Loved seeing what you have achieved with your garden Wow the boars were stunning so many babies Thank you sharing your beautiful journey 😁
Wonderful to see you back again and the family. Missed you guys and your farm is coming on beautifully. Your green house is certainly doing well. Have a lovely day.
Truly a delight to see you are all doing well 😊 the kids are growing as fast as your fava beans 😂 good luck dealing with the coming heat, hope you get some rain too 😎🌻✅
I know its a lot of qork but you really seem to be at one with it now. Not a struggle but a flow of tasks that create a home and food for you and your family. Nicely done!
Enjoyable video..Are you teaching your children Portuguese language as well as your native language and English. I wish I had learned another language early i n life. Great garden.
Lia the garden is looking good. Nice to see Puck is interested in helping out in the garden , she's learning a valuable life skill. Something you may want to try out is tying your tomatoes off using a figure 8 pattern it works well for me. Enjoyed your video as always. Keep up the good work.
Greetings from sunny California! ☀ As I was watching you work in your garden, after seeing the clip of the wild boars, I thought that it might be wise to put up a sturdy fence around your vegetable garden to keep wild animals out. Those boars will mow all your hard work down in just a matter of minutes! 😢
Have always appreciated your willingness to experiment and learn as you go. It is obviously paying off. The focus has been mainly on the garden but now you are bringing the same insight to your personal rhythms and well being. Whatever format works for you will work for us onlookers. Greetings from Canada.
I need to borrow your little helper to collect rocks,, when I bought my house,, I became stone rich 🙂 Was actually wondering what Maatin was doing,, and on the edge of my chear for any digger news...
Very nice Hot house for your 🪴. Hollanders all over the World 🌎 our forefathers come to South Africa 1665 and still Farming and feeding the Nation. Never forget about God He is our shield and our Provider. God Bless you and your family

Your videos always have a peacefulness about them. The little ones are growing up so fast. You will blink and they will be grown.
You are awesome. It's hard work to maintain a garden, bring up kids and the household. God bless

Yikes.
Great to see you pacing yourself. You are looking more relaxed now and I adore that green dress! The garden looks so lush.
Great video! Lovely to see the children so involved.

The real heat has only just begun, but the garden is doing well so far :)
It was great to see you all! Thank you for sharing with us. :-)
The garden looks so beautiful, and the green house is doing amazing. Love to see the children helping you too. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Thanks Shannon, we really appreciate your support :) Hope to be back soon with a video on what we're doing with all these veggies
It is nice to see your improvement from the previous years 😊 I bet it feels good. You are looking happy. Take care. You guys did a great job
Getting better every year :)
I needed this video today. How do you always put out the exact right content when I need it the most? Bo is now a toddler, congrats!
Happy to hear that :) Bo's a giant!
I enjoyed watching your video! Your family works so beautifully together! Your children are so beautiful!
I love Portuguese people ❤
You have made a very relaxing and verdant vlog. You are making a wonderful life in Portugal for yourselves and. your children
What a bountiful garden, but I know how much hard work to get it that way. Your helpers are growing so fast.
Precious little ones, Puck and Bo are cute too. Beautiful garden. Lia. Love the wiggle dance in the greenhouse. Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇲
you guys are wonderful, love watching your videos ... lots of work but very satisfying to know you did it..
Gardening is a hard but rewarding job. You are doing a fabulous job. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Absolutely wonderful video
Your babies are so beautiful
Loved seeing what you have achieved with your garden
Wow the boars were stunning so many babies
Thank you sharing your beautiful journey 😁
You have become a real farmer, lots of progress and learnings, well done. 😊
Just stopped by to say; cute dress, cute basket. I'll watch the video later.
Please, please come back to your channel. We worry & miss you.
I’m hoping to get a video done for next weekend :)
Wonderful to see you back again and the family. Missed you guys and your farm is coming on beautifully. Your green house is certainly doing well. Have a lovely day.
So glad you’re back. My best to you
I enjoy watching your beautiful videos
Hi Lea - So happy to see you and your family. Thank you for the update!! Great job you and Maarten are doing. Excellent video!!
Truly a delight to see you are all doing well 😊 the kids are growing as fast as your fava beans 😂 good luck dealing with the coming heat, hope you get some rain too 😎🌻✅
They're giants! Cause I keep feeding them fava beans 😂 Hope we still get some good rain, but also excited for the heat
The effort you have put in to the new video episode format is good. This episode was particularly clear and informative.
Thanks Jonathan :)
This video was great, totally understandable if you're not filming so much with all the work you put into the homestead!
Turns out you can't do everything all of the time ;)
Great video as always and lovely to see you all looking so well
I usually soak beans for, more or less, 24 hours before planting. It works.
Thanks! I might try again, I love green beans :)
The fava beans tops are actually edible and taste superb in a stir-fry!
The 🐗 boards are terrible
sooner or later they destroy your garden to eating your food
You have a beautiful family keep the good work
So inspiring,
I wish i could have this kind of life
What a beautiful daughter ye have!
I love abundanceplus!! it has so help me with my new place.
A pull down clothes line would be handy for drying herbs.
It would :)
Puc looks just like her Daddy lol. Such a sweet girl 😊
One redhead, one blond. Could you be any luckier! So sweet. I try to keep a journal also, but I lose focus by midsummer.
I know its a lot of qork but you really seem to be at one with it now. Not a struggle but a flow of tasks that create a home and food for you and your family. Nicely done!
Wonderful video, I love watching the plantings from seed, then to the garden. It brings such JOY!
Oh i ❤ that basil
Beautiful video, you are growing an abundance of veggies and your babies are so cute!!

Night temps being over 10C, wow, in Texas now it's lucky if we get a 17C overnight.
I love to see you being affectionate with Puk. Make the most of it. Speaking as an empty nester.😢❤
Congrats!
Very nice garden
Beautiful video Lea...loved seeing Puck and Bo helping you in the gardening 👍🤗
È bellissimo vedere come i bambini sono felici di vivere così nella natura
Bravi
This is a beautiful life 👍🥰
good to see you ☺great footage of the boars, such a sweet moment when she kissed you 🥰
I don't know what you have changed in the vlog, I feel the ease and calmness from it. Maybe you are more relaxed? Good job!🎉❤
I stopped posting weekly, that has helped massively :)
❤️❤️

Thanks :) It's been a learning process not to overwork myself as that is a tendency of mine. But I'm liking this new rhythm so far
Beautiful
Loved this video ; such an abundance !!
Through compost go green ❤😂
I like your channel very much, I enjoy your videos, I am subscribing
Lovely video Leah, I like the new format, well done.
Thanks!
I was excited to hear that you've connected with abundance plus! Seems like a good match.
Was excited they reached out, they have some great content on there :)
Actually those small rocks /stones help keep the humidity in the soil.
Well there are still plenty in the soil 😂
I need to borrow your little helper to collect rocks,, when I bought my house,, I became stone rich 🙂
Was actually wondering what Maatin was doing,, and on the edge of my chear for any digger news...
We finally got the part we need, now the mechanic just needs to find time in his schedule🤞
Love seeing you and the kids again!
Don't forget the make more videos I missed your guys
For now once a month is the best I can do :)
You are more prettier.Puk is grown up too ..your homestead is very abundant now.
I was so happy to see you've posted a video.
A nice video indeed .❤
So beautiful plas
