I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and becoming self-sufficient in terms of food and energy. The goal for these first years was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸

You truly are inspiring to all and possess such beauty inwardly and outwardly. When I watch your videos, I am reminded of all our Heavenly Father created in the Garden of Eden. Such beauty as never before. The diet of Pulse is what our Creator had intended for all with health benefits of a longer lifespan.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always. Much love sent to you and your family ~~🌷🌱
You are a very ressourceful person. You set a great example by using your ressources this way. Gracias.
Can you reveal a bit about the budget it takes to make this possible?
Best wishes. :)
Wow this is such a beautiful and truly valuable journey that you're on, you guys are greatly inspiring, thanks so much for creating this beautiful video! 🤩✨🌹
I genuinely thought you had quit, and it hurt my heart because my husband and I bought property in Valencia, Spain, and are building our dream food forest and life here. When you become a part of nature, you awaken from the delusion of the capitalistic world order and realize you have no power over the earth. You learn that there will be times when you succeed, such as planting a tree that will bear fruit the following year, and others when you fail. You also learn that even a native plant will dislike the location, and no matter what you do, it will not provide anything, and both are equally significant. You're realizing that you're now one with the creator, and "allowing" is the key to freedom. Never give up, but when you're frustrated with yourself, consider what higher intelligence wants you to take out from this. I'm sending you lots of love and happiness!
Beautiful! This is important.
I hope all goes well!!
Yeah but you've got to keep in mind that in her succeeding at this, it's not just building and enjoying a food forest, she's documenting her life and that gets extremely tiring as well. Life was meant to be lived and this is a job, a lot of filming and video editing and doing the same things over and over and over. It can get as tiring as the so called capitalistic world order. It's not just living life but filming yourself living life. Eventually you need a break from everything.
@@mmmmmmyeeeaaahhh3880 Totally. Break yes, quitting shouldnt be an option in my opinion.
En Valencia? donde?
Thumbnail is misguiding. You have worked very hard on your dreams
Why are we saying that this is a failure? This is just to get more viewers? 😕
Gardening is a never ending series of experiments, learning in the process what grows well in each area and how much each bed needs to be watered and amended. It's all about the soil each plant needs. Greatly appreciate your willingness to show your experiences that both inspires and teaches us.
The best time to plant fruit trees in a Mediterranean climate is in the fall /winter/spring for evergreens (citrus etc) and Dec/Jan/Feb for deciduous trees. They establish easier when it has been through a cooler rainy season. It is a stress for the trees to be transplanted in summer heat and you will also find more selections as well.
Living off grid is my dream, and you're living it. I'm Lebanese, and the baba ghanouj dish you made originates from my country. Seeing you make that from your garden is truly epic. Just a tip. Don't blend the eggplant into a very fine paste, keep it slightly pulpy and chunky. Also when serving drizzle some olive oil on the top of the dish. That with some spicy hot pepper powder, and using some nice peta bread as a food shovel .. and oh my lord.
Thank you for showing the raw side as well, you did not fail your passion is still there. And you inspire so many people
I was so invested when you were preparing the meal and then you lay the table and it actually brought tears to my eyes , what a massive blessing it is to grow and eat from the land you look after and share with loved ones. Wowww
That food looks incredible. Really enjoy watching your videos! Beautiful to see it in the Portuguese countryside as well, as a Portuguese woman myself. 😊
The joy on your face when you harvest your own food, it's so wonderful! I think you should definitely launch a recipe book:)
I fully agree ❤❤
I'm almost ready to build my garden and maybe get two beehives. Been Offgrid for 5 years now. I'm watching all your videos to hype myself up to get going on the garden and the bees!
Even through the challenges...magic still prevails....your home and gardens are beautiful and magical. You tell the store so beautifully with your sweet voice. The visual shots of your land and the out lying areas are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending both of you so much love on your journey with life.
I am so very happy you have not given up your dreams and all that you have invested into the land. I am so inspired and my own inspiration is renewed to continue my own "planting" and "tending" of my life's garden. I am fed in so many ways watching your endeavors, your strength, perseverance and patience doing this one shove at a time! Many blessings to you both!
Hi. If you ever feel like giving up again...look at the photos taken by the drone...it shows clearly how far you have come. It looks great and the plants are very happy and healthy...congrats🎉🎉🎉
Another beautiful video that points out that, sometimes, the most rewarding aspects of life are the ones that take the longest or the most effort. Mother Nature will work at her own time. There is a saying that "patience is a virtue" and that can certainly be the case when gardening. The weather extremes that we are seeing also can raise unexpected challenges along the way. I have found my two small organic gardens to be like laboratories where I can experiment with different plantings, soil mixtures, etc. Sometime it works well and I have a bountiful harvest of beans, cucumbers, or garlic. Other times, the plantings come up empty and I learn from what did not work.
It's taken me 10 years to get our house and garden to where it is now. Many garden ideas have come and gone. My passion is living of the land and living with nature. Since I've been watching you, I've expanded the veggie patch 3 times for veg and flowers 💐 thank you, never give up 😊
Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us! I have learned so much from you and your online gardening guide!:) I am now not feeling discouraged when I have a failure in the garden, but I try to learn from the experience and do better next time. This year has been a strange one for growing in my region (Northeastern US), some things were a complete failure like cucumbers and squash, but some are doing quite well, like tomatoes and beans. It's all a big experiment for me every time and I try to enjoy the process and not get saddened by the setbacks. Hope all the trees you planted do well!💚💚💚
Your garden looks great!
We just moved to a new house and we can't wait to start our garden and fruit orchard. There will be a huge learning curb as we have really cold winters with snow but we are up for the challenge. Thanks for the inspiration.
Dear Eugenia, you said “Nothing changes in your life until you change” - so true!!! 🥰
Lots od love from a small gardener in Croatia🤗
P.S. My garden has dahlias this year thanks to you 😘
Eugenia, you are such a wise soul. I love it when you are gathering your babies, and there is a big smile of surprise on your face. Thank you both for not giving up and giving all of us a moment of joy. Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
Great video, your garden is producing so much wonderful food and you prepare the healthiest, most esthetically pleasing meals. Obviously it's not over and you have not failed.
Eugenia Diaz you are amazing. No such thing as failure just learning. I find you so inspiring and courageous. I love what you are doing and I am such a fan. You are an amazing human. ❤❤ From strength to strength 💪. Keep going. Love from Australia.
Thank you so much! Much love to you 🤗🤍
You've done a beautiful job in your gardens they look amazing ❤
Hi Eugenia,
I loved to watch your videos, as could relate to you. I am from India and have bought a land in Uttrakhand, India. It's very close to mountains. In 2 to 3 years we plan to build our off grid place but the house would be bigger 😊 and your videos are really inspiring . All the best for your future endeavours 👍
I am doing a big garden project too (not building a house as well, however!) And there have been many times I have felt like I'm failing. I for sure thought I'd have my trees in this past Spring, but it didn't happen for a few reasons, and I thought for sure I'd be more on top of the care of the garden, and that I'd have built a bench, a fence, painted this and that, etc. I want to be better at enjoying the journey. Love your videos so much, Eugenia. I've been subscribed long enough to know that each video holds so much inspiration and hope, I won't be fooled by your titles, I know you are succeeding! ✨🙌❤️ Have a wonderful Sunday.
Scaling our big dreams to right size our energy and situation is key to keeping the faith that dreams take sweat equity, good luck, hard work, dedication, and appreciation for all the blessings along the way. You are a blessing to us!
I appreciate you for taking the time so make each video film worthy. I love hearing you tell your story
(and as a native English speaker with no real accent, I love hearing your voice in general.)
You have made it really far and you've kept me fueled and grounded on my own path.
Everyone has an accent, regardless of how native they are. :)
There's many varieties of native English accents, such as various British, American, Australian, South African accents, etc.
@@cariiinen I understand that entirely technically I would have a southern US accent but the people that I live around don't seem to think I sound Southern enough, even though I've lived here my whole live. So I mean nothing bad by that at all
@@makilahduncan556just because your peers don't hear your accent doesn't mean the rest of the world wouldn't. I'm sure a foreigners' peers wouldn't hear their accent either.
Dear Eugenia, you've done a great job! Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Wondering if you are using any Permaculture principles in your design there? Swales are great way to naturally harvest rainfall so that it goes to your plants and not simply run off or evaporation. Permacuture allows you to also invite many young and willing workers who want to learn the techniques. In exchange for room and meals. Then the work goes easier and faster ;)
the food you make always looks so so good!!!
Beautifully said,life grows with time. Venus is retrograde atm giving us a new prospective on how to best move ahead.
Plants also during this time until September will need extra love. Delaying planting can give best production atm....but we gota do what we gota do.
I adore your channel it's ambient and motivation is grand.
Love your point about the plants needing more love now too. Thank you for mentioning that!
You've created a beautiful , fruitful paradise ❤ It's truly amazing what you two have accomplished !!
Una maravilla, como siempre, Eugenia. Un gran placer disfrutar de lo que nos compartes ✨🧡
Eugenia, you are so pleasant! You are excellent at many things - teaching, storytelling, etc, and you certainly have a green thumb. Any failures has beautifully led to successes, and it's a pleasure to journey along with you. I love this channel. I your accent is so awesome! Could listen to you speak all day. Thank you for just being you! 🧅🥬🍅🪴
Thank you so much for your beautiful words of encouragement and love! ☺️🤍
@@EugeniaDiaz Always, dear one! ❤
Wonderful video today! You have the most amazing passion for your garden. it is inspiring.
Can you please post a list of the heirloom veggies that you have planted or use in each of the videos. Many of the plants you use I have not heard of and I want to start incorporating in my garden .
Thank you for being you & Sharing your love & passy🙏🏽
i am sorry your plans did not worked out in the end Eugenia, despite all the work we put into it. But i know we will complete it sooner or later!
cuando me decían de pequeño "cómprate un bosque y piérdete" yo pensaba en un proyecto como el tuyo.
Stunning from the garden to table I love it! Where did you buy those plates? Do you have a link for them?
I'm so glad you didn't give up, Eugenia! There may be other even greater challenges you'll have to face in life, and these that you overcame are only the solid groundwork upon which you will add more strength, courage,
and resilience. Good job!
You use a lot of water cleaning vegetables. Is it reused somehow on the garden?
If I had the means to have or use a tractor with a bucket and all the other helps that cost a fortune, homesteading off the grid, with electricity besides, would be exciting. As it is, I really have had only my own two hands and strong body and I have done a pretty good job of making a kitchen garden and sustainable, wild life, insect and bird nature preserve of our acreage. I am now 75 years old. Homesteading is a young persons game, and, truth to tell today, a well--off person's game. Just look what it costs to have an electric line run, or to dig a well, or to have that sized compost or mulch delivered. Dreams are good. We want to do right by the planet, but that bag of compost came in plastic. Make your money first. Spain notwithstanding, you need to have means to play the off grid romance.
Are you planning on fermenting and preserving foods in the future?
I was so scared...glad you're still going strong Eugenia!
La perilla est une annuelle dans mon jardin, elle se ressème très facilement. J’ai la variété pourpre, son feuillage est presque métallisé au soleil; vous la réussirez facilement en semis direct.😊
your dresses are always on point🥰
One day please share where do you shop lol
Thank you for your patience and inspiration
Thank you for sharing the food looks wonderful wish you would share recipes. Love the peacefulness of not having to rush.
Your work and the vision you have for your life is so beautiful - I make TH-cam videos in a similar spirit as yours although I find myself in very different season of life - I'm currently living and traveling in my car with my two cats looking for the next place I want to call home. I want to be able to build and cultivate a little piece of land one day and watching your beautiful videos always inspires me to keep going. (Also how do you always look so incredibly stylish while you do such hard work?!) So looking forward to diving into your book! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours! 💛💛💛
Hola Eugenia, ninguno de tus productos está hecho en español? el libro o las master class?
At the beginning of the video you used straw. Can you please tell me what you laid it on and why? TIA
Beautiful, thank you Eugenia. Blessings ... and love and light to you too.
Well I am very glad that you did not fail...but I dont understand why you said that you did??
The script explaining the meal during the lunch is impossible to read
Thank you for visiting the farm barn you inspire us😘🙏
I just love your channel -where you not only harvest earth's tasty jewels 🥕🍆🥒🥬🥔but share your peace-filled haven from your corner of the world. Thank you for sharing it and inspiring the rest of us to pursue our dreams, too! Sending love and prayers 🙏 for a life filled with even more! God bless you and yours!
Hola te quería preguntar que variedad son tus berenjenas.Estoy fascinada con tus vídeos y tus recetas .Que estés bien
Incredible journey!❤️🫶🏻
Loving both of your guy's channels, Keep on keeping on,
Amazing video!
Each of us has faced moments of despair. You just need to rest a little and catch your breath, and then all these difficulties and insecurities will seem like nothing!
I myself am starting to host the channel for the second time...😉
You're doing great!💚💚💚
wow I never thought of eating yardlong beans like noodles I might want to try it next time 👍☺️
I don't know if you ever heard that tabac prevent blight on tomatoes, my grandmother planted Tabaco every where in garden
😍hi Eugenia , lovely editing and vlogging, could you share some tips about your editing and what camera do you use !..thanks in advance
Are you able to share where did you buy the compost for trees?
One trick I know from my mom is to never blend eggplants with a metallic blade. Always always always use wood and never overblend. It makes for a super yummy baba ghanoush and prevents it from tasting 'metallic' (as odd as that may sound).
Where u failed at sis? You are thriving !! I want to grow a food forest myself !! You are one with Yah ❤
What is the name of the flower plant that produces the long beans?
I don’t understand the misguiding thumbnail. You clearly didn’t fail
Gorgeous video! Congratulations on all the work you have done! :) I am curious. Who is filming? Your companion? Pepe?
An idea, create videos to a black screen, like a podcast, or have mp3s for people to download or buy, where you are just talking about different topics or reading/telling stories.
(I am learning Swedish, when I go to bed, by listening to a young woman do just that in Swedish.)
You have a really soothing voice and your accent is charming.
I would love to fall asleep to you reading a story or talking softly like this. It's very calming. (The birds and nature sounds help too. 😉) ❤
Everyone experiences setbacks but instead of giving up look at how much you learned. We often learn more from our failures than from our successes. In a while after you have absorbed the lessons of your experiences you may be ready to try another adventure. Life at its best is a great adventure and our failures toughen us and prepare us for the future. Don't give up because that is the only way you can truly fail. I wish you well and many brighter days ahead.
I don't know if you know that tobaccos prevents blight. My grandmother grows tabaco in every vegetable garden.
if you don't know her and are interested in finding fellow artists I think you would like Caro Arevalo. she also makes youtube videos
Dear Eugenia, congratulations on achieving so much! Perseverance has paid off because you realised your dreams….the garden is really taking shape and looking fabulous. Xx❤❤❤
Keep up the good work
We have a little plot on the soith coast of south africa. It is all about learning to live with the type of nature you have. You have done an amazing job of living with your land. We have a saying here "ncane kancane" which means little bit, little bit which is exactly how we build nature back up. Keep going. Sending sunshine from Africa!
Ok so I saw you crack those eggs 12:01 and all I could think of was you need chickens Eugenia 🥰 they are honestly much more easy to maintain then one would think they’re such little personalities and the gift of eggs that they give is such a blessing. I’m sure it’s something you had planned in the future but they really don’t need a whole lot to get them started and before you know it you’ll have your own eggs 🫶
everything looks great to me
Beautiful as always and the adventure continues🥰
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with us💜, sending you much love.
Hello Eugenia, beautiful camera work. Would you please share which camera you use?
lovely vid Eugenia
Please how do you get water pressure for your water garden hose ?
Escavadora..... Now that's what I'm talking about 👍
Thank you for your inspiring message 🌸💕
So inspiring!
Failed? What do you mean exactly? You have a beautiful garden. Be thankful 🙏
Eugenia esa casa va a quedar espectacular, estoy pensando en irme a Portugal y sobretodo tus comidas me encantan
Such Beautiful poetry...makes my eyes water as I smile, thinking, "YOU Got This!"... Thank you for sharing.
Yummy veggies, some of them which I never saw. Magical garden 💕
really love the beautiful videos and watching the jorney, but these clickbate titles, that have little to do with what actually happens..those just make everything look cheaper, cannot understand why you use them😢
She is beautiful like her garden ❤
@@shlomovenezia101 that how her voice calm
How big is your land?
Your videos are so beautiful. I really appreciate your artistic expression
Eugenia! Your creativity and green thumb are absolutely amazing!!! Oh and that baba ganoush looked sooo yummy! Hugs to you all!
If this is failure where do I sign up?❤️
I love your last message. It is so inspiring❤
Eugénia...please, keep on your dream and do not give up.
It is amazing to follow your daily routine listening to your music selection, seeing your amazing garden, your cooking and preparation, your beloved dog and, listen to such beatiful sounds while you are preparing everything 🙏.
You are sharing your life with so much serenity. Thank you 🧡
