Thank you for helping us nurture our farm and our community!
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 😊 ❤️
Kale is another form of Cavolo Nero and very Italian I think..
Siete bravissimi 🥬🥦
Thank you!It originates in Mediterranean bit here in South nobody knows about it. It's very strange. But we are sure our clients will love it! ❤️ They didn't know about Cavolo Nero which is so famous in Tuscany
Thanks for the very nice garden tour: VERY NICE TO SEE SMILES ON YOUR FACES AGAIN, WONDERFUL COUPLE.
Happy you liked ❤️ We will be even happier if it starts raining 😆
i know that you both have put in a lot of hard work. good job. i hope the weather you hope for always arrives for you!
You are so passionate and adventurous. It shines from you both.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
I truly admire all your hard work, you are both truly amazing. Your garden looks so beautiful. I hope Autumn and Winter are kinder to you than Summer as been.
Thank you ❤️ Winter garden is always nicer and greener 😃 We hope that rain is coming because it is still considered drought period.
Thank you for showing us around your farm. It’s lovely.
We are happy to share 😉 Thank you for watching ❤️
You two are
CHAMPIONS ! I Applaude yòu.
Thank you! So kind of you ❤️
You have a large holding for two people! I loved the tour. A lot of work, a lot of love. And! Great plans for the chicken run. Cherish the olive trees. TY. 🥰
proud farmers! garden looks great!
Your garden is everyone’s envy , love it bravi ragazzi
Thank you for the tour of your farm. I have to say, well done, it's brilliant 👏 😊 ❤
Don't forget chicken housing can be mobile so you can move them around to poop on selected areas you want to improve...
Un orto bello come un giardino!
Meraviglia
@@celesteaida48 Grazie ❤️
Hello, I like the way you are talking, as if you were one person
I would need a spreadsheet just to keep track of every plant and row and tree... What a great plot of land you have!
Thank you 😃 It's easy to remember when you are all day there 😆
Quite interesting to tour your garden.
Thank you ❤️ Happy that you enjoyed it! 😉
Soo happy you guys are back ..love what you doing ,,
Beautiful gardens!
Thank you. 😊
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.
Congragulations dear couple. I liked the garden, I liked the thing that you do, I liked the beautiful scenery of the house. I like Sicily and I will move there in a few years, hope to meet you then.
Thank you so much 😊 Our pleasure to share! Good luck with your dream, and hopefully, we will meet up in a future!
Amazing job.. love from Arizona
Thank you, Arizona 😉 I hope temperatures there are cooling down a bit too. Warm wishes from Sicily!
@@SomethingLikeThis1 Sadly, our temps are still very warm here in Phoenix. Today, it will be 41 celsius.. Maybe next week we will start to cool off :) ..
Bravo! Hello from the Sonoran desert, in southern Arizona. I’m a second generation Lithuanian, it would be cool to hear you speaking Lithuanian and Italian. Best Wishes for a successful season.
Labas vakaras 👋 We will try to implement it somehow some day in our videos 😉
Well done you too! Please do more how to gardening videos and recipes!
We will soon 😉
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"?
Thanks
Thank you so much ❤️
It seems to be a good Ukrainian-Italian co-ooperation
Wrong guess 😆
Love the story .... However, the pigeons can go eat somewhere else because if you allow/encourage them to eat at your farm they will forever come back.
Have you ever thought about agroforestry - sistema agroforestali?
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?
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.
Hi again. Have you looked into raising honey bees? It can be done ethically and with kindness to the bees. Honey is always in demand
We would like to one day. We have somebody in the area who does teaching as well. And we need to plant more trees first so they have where to get all that beautiful honey.
❤
Hi! When I get back to Sicily Nov 24 I am going to want to start cooking with a lot of veggies. Do you come to the Monday market in balestrate? You have so many things I have no idea how to cook. I’m so interested. I love kale!
We are looking forward to meeting both of you when you are back. Enjoy your time with a grandbaby. It took me time to get used to new vegetables, too 😃 We do home deliveries only, usually on Thursday.
mustard leave - looks like asia salad
It's called red frill mustard. I wouldn't be surprised if it originates in Asia
Was that a ficcadindia I saw in the background toward the end of the video?
Yes 😉
@@SomethingLikeThis1 I live just outside Vancouver and for several years we can no longer find these in the grocery stores, for some reason they are no longer importing them. Such as shame as they are one of my favourites and so healthy for you.
@@SomethingLikeThis1 Staiu spinanu.
How many hectares do you have under cultivation? Do you grow any putarella or agretti ?
Whats the lining of the raised beds ? The stone like blocks on the sides , what are they made of ?
I heard thats made of tuf , but what is it?
@aleksandraola5250 Tuff is a naturally formed rock from vulcanic ash.
Are you servicing the local markets, or the whole of Italy?
We are selling to our local towns and do home delivery only.
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!
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.
@@SomethingLikeThis1 Thanks for all those ideas! We have enjoyed the chard with chickpeas, garlic, smoked paprika. Totally forgot about that. Please share more Sicilian recipes with us!
