Nice job plowing, it's working well. You two are great and I always look forward to seeing your new videos, why you don't have 10x the subscribers is beyond me. Keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙂
Glad you survived the mushrooms , good luck with the new planting. 😅😅
Your going to have some funny dreams tonight with that mushroom 😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed your video,I think your chickens enjoyed the plowing as they were busy eating, lol. Your roses are always so beautiful, it’s amazing that they seem to bloom all year, too cold here for mine to bloom in winter. The mushrooms looked delicious. Wishing you a blessed week, looking forward to your next video.
It is always nice to see you guys. Every job is a job that needs doing, and that's why evervideo is enjoyable. Glad you guys are ahead of the water issues, it will make things that much easier. Fingers crossed it works well. Mushrooms looked vreally yood. Im glad you didn't die. Forehead kisses for everyone 2 for Guffy.
Love the videos, I would love to try wild mushrooms, but I don't have the knowledge or the nerves to try them. Lol chickens love the fresh turned earth, momma worms.
How wonderful to see you two lovely people again; I love all your videos. You are both so hard-working, so full of life and have such a great sense of humour. My kind of people, indeed. Força, amigos!
❤❤😊
No wild chicken for me… no no no…❤️❤️
Miss Blusa – I just love her! Can’t wait to see her again!
Great video. I like the way you built up your garden area with the soil from the ditch cleaning.
Budda died eating a mushroom. Hope yer fine.
Oh oh!!😮
Love your channel x I just happened to notice I’d been unsubscribed!! Somethings wrong because I went to subscribe again but it won’t they me receive notifications? Any advice welcomed
Must get my garlic in too ! Xx. A little while later … all sorted !!!!
Hello and thanks for the video.👋🇦🇺
The like function doesnot work!
You both got a lot achieved this week, ploughing your field will make making the garden so much easier for you, thank God for modern technology. I'm really glad you both survived your mushroom as I love watching you two with your wonderful happy outlook on life and the progress you are making on your farm. Thank you for sharing xxx
Last supper looks yummy 😊 how are you guys doing?
those mushrooms are a great find and all for free. love to see how the chickens dig for worms in the garden. you two are such a nice couple.
When I watched the first video showing the chicken mushrooms, I looked them up and noted they are edible (with some caution). I have not seen any in Canada, so cannot try them here. Love the videos of the cats having a great life climbing trees. It looks so far like your land is draining well compared to some of the video last year where the tractor was mired in mud! All your hard work is paying off. Nice to see the cooler weather for you both to get ready for winter! Take care until the next one!❤
Great video ❤
Olá meus queridos amigos senhor Andrew e Gi estava um bocadinho triste porque os ultimos vidios nao tinham legendas e eu nao entendia nada o que diziam. Porquê que nao continuam a construir a casa? No inverno é mais dificil. Eu já estava a ver a querida Gi a cozinhar na sua nova cozinha no Natal? É pena mas tambem concordo que tinham de fazer uma pausa é um trabalho muito pesado e nao tinha ajuda quase nenhuma . Muito obrigados pelo vidio gostei muito de ver o senhor Andrew a lavrar a terra .
Bom fim de semana e que Deus os cubra de bençaos 🙏🏼🩵🩷
Keep potatoes and tomatoes away from the olive trees. Because those can cause a bad fungi for the olive trees. And once the bad fungi is in the soil it can take decades before you can plant new olive trees. But beets and beans and leek and herbs and strawberries and grapes and cabbage are all good. Especially beets are very good companion plants for other plants. And beans are very good nitrogen fixing plants. And it is also good to plant some wild flower seeds when the spring arrives. The biodiversity helps to keep the plants healthy and better protected against pests.
When you apply mulch or compost a smaller but thick layer is better as spreading it all out. The next year you can do another small patch with a thick layer. That is very good for the micro organisms. They like the thick blanket that protects them from the sun and drought and hot temperatures. And the micro organisms help a lot to make the existing soil aerated and fluffy without tiling the soil. It also holds moisture much better. And they create nutrients for the plants. 👍
Congratulations, for the work .
Your cat is in amazing shape for an 18yr old. I was driving my farm bike on my land and my chickens were doing exactly what yours were doing. by accident I ran one over! I rushed to see if it was alright, and luckily it was OK and ran off. But it left an egg – which had been squeezed out of it. Ha.
Brave! 😂 It actually looked like chicken too. Would you eat it again?
Hallo you two!! I just love your humor😂😂 Always enjoy your videos, greetings from South Africa ❤❤ Kaki is also in Afrikaans a shitty word😂😂
Hallo Guys 👋🏻 just love your videos 😊 it has now become a set routine to watch you two on Wednesdays and Sundays.., myself and Shawn are very curious about the farm on the other side of ur land ( not the farm with the Welsh 🏴 couple) 🤔 was wondering if you new at all if it was for sale? and if so for how much and what the land size is 🫠 thank you Barbara and Shawn x
Go outside at night with your laser and some orange paint to mark where to plough the swales.
I've always wanted to try chicken of the woods, but I never have. So here you are making me want to try them even more. Maybe now they will come to me!😂 The chickens look like they're in heaven with all the ploughing!❤
I think we also call it ”vegan chicken”…the mushroom!
Another great video, no idea how the chickens haven’t got run over by the tractor! Great to see you back preparing the garden for its next crops. You seem to have a good crop of apples coming along nicely. You certainly seem to have got the fruit and veggie gardening off to an excellent start.❤
You two are so fu ny…glad the mushrooms were safe to eat 😅
