    You have put in so much work and it has surely paid off with your amazing growth and produce. Those smiles on your faces show your appreciation ❤

      It's a bit of relief to see everything growing, but unfortunately, drought is still continuing, and temperatures are unpredictable 😢 But everything is growing well so far 😊 ❤️

    Your garden is fantastic and looks incredibly healthy thanks to the hard work you both put in! Mimosa is I agree both beautiful and so fragrant but it self seeds very easily so pull the seedlings out unless of course you want them!. Wishing you continued success in whatever you do.

    Agree that the olives are ready to harvest! I believe that is called Bermuda grass in English, plenty of it up here in Umbria as well. I also considered Ouessant sheep and have not completely given up on the idea but we have a lot of predators and right now I'm not set up to keep the safe. Hope you can make it work!

    I like your explanation, sound very "English". Super, you learned all that English. In the South of Italy, there is a VLOG with a couple, they suffer from drought. Have you thought about Parma Culture. Are you thinking about plants which are good "water savers"?

    Hello guys, first of all thank you for a great video, very informative. I'm sure it will bring you many new clients, you have got so much passion and love for the plants! But I have a question:how do you fertilize your plants? is the compost that you produce enough?

    • @SomethingLikeThis1
      @SomethingLikeThis1  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching our videos ❤️ We are happy that people can see our passion for what we do. We have stables close to us. And we get composted manure from them. Every time before planting something new, we keep topping up our beds with it, and everything is growing without any additional fertilisers.

    I love what you guys are doing. I live in United States. I am in the process of looking into possibly moving to Italy. My husbands grandfather lived in Sardinia. I am waiting to see if we could use his citizenship. I love that you make your money gardening. Are you able to discuss the financial side. The cost to move there, the planting costs, the income possibilities? Thanks for sharing your journey.

    I am curious how you prepare the rhubarb chard in Sicilian recipes. We just saute in olive oil and white balsamic vinegar - I need more recipes! I'm surprised chard is so popular in your country so maybe you know better ways to prepare it. Your gardens are thriving and expanding!

    • @SomethingLikeThis1
      @SomethingLikeThis1  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well, many people just boil it and then add olive oil. Others sauté in olive oil, garlic, and sardines ( I love adding capers). Some cook it with tomato sauce. Then it's nice with lentils. My personal favourite is to sauté garlic with some pancetta or other smoked meats that you have available (can add carrots and celery too), then add water and boil lentils (can add some tomato sauce) and then add Swiss chard towards the end. You could do similar recipes with chickpeas or other legumes, too. I recently saw some recipes that added sautéed chard in a burger.
