We’re dreaming of a thatch roof on our off-grid tiny house here on our homestead in Zimbabwe, but while we navigate higher than expected costs we decided to shift gear and expand our paradise inspired secret garden.

Hi, I dont eat much and I work well with others.. I would like to come and play 😂😂😂 oh it looks incredible. What a wonderful job John, Cofi, and Pride have done with help from Tara.. Happy Birthday Crusoe , only a couple days ago i watched the day you entered the world 🦏🐘🦒🦢🕷🪳🦗🕸🐝🐜🦟🎁🎊
Looking fantastic guy's, well done.
LOL, Tara I'm with you! 😂 I honestly saw NO way out for you John, with the wooden railing dilemma! And then of course you came up with the most brilliant(!!) idea! 😂👏 Love it!! LOL!
just my two cents but you both appear happier and lighter than I’ve watched before
My uncle had a place in KwaZulu-Natal with a lot of monkeys. He put paper bags filled with plastic snakes in trees. Scared them off
Turning out nicely and I can’t wait for the end product. Thanks for sharing your journey
Do a Trip to Sri Lanka, I'm sure yo all will enjoy . If so happy to host you guys for a meal
Tara you look amazing it must be all those steps 😂
😂 food Forrest… just start a monkey petting zoo.
Tara, if the colourant stains your hands, wash your hair and most of it will disappear. (And maybe wear gloves – I learnt the hard way! 😜)
So much grass is a sustainable problem. The water needed to keep that is a waste of earth resources!
If it was supposed to be there in the first place it would have been there to start with.
Shocking!
Absolutely gorgeous! ❤️
The secret garden is already looking beautiful…..I love John's vision ! Good teamwork by John Kofi and Pride ❤❤……the boys are growing up so fast… Crusoe coming up 5 already!! ❤❤
I love watching your channel, but I always battle to watch it. It buffers for long periods. None of the other channels do that. Do you maybe do something different than the other?
The Grass looks amazing! And loving all the natural rock. I have been keeping an 👁 on Joao..😂 he is doing an amazing job! What a wonderful play area for the boys and a special quiet retreat for your morning coffee… Roll on Wednesday 😊
Obi is waiting for the boys coming home from school, how sweet he is.🤗
Awesome …..right there
How’s the humidity ?
Those face masks look like they should be in a scary movie..the planter is lovely..love from Lincolnshire ❤❤
Wonderful lawn areas.❤️🙏🙂
Hi guys,
I'm so jealous of your beautiful pozzie in zimbabwe. We also follow a couple re building a property in Portugal (Portugal it is)
They have just been given approx 20 bee hive boxes & I thought it would be great if you could connect them with your bee keeper friend.
BTW the lady who mentored you with your book is my niece's sister in law (small world hey)
Love your channel.❤
This place is looking spectacular.❤️👌
I wish you good luck with everything. But I also wish to see what you can buy, food and what you cook. Is there markeds, supermarkeds, butchers, bakers? I love to eat good food with great taste, like vegetables that is ripen in the sun. All we got is like tomatoes that have no taste, maybe like water and so on.❤🎉❤
Greate video again . Hope Joao and his partner did enjoy the visit 😊
Hi there! If he would had done a “x” pattern this corner would not be a trouble. The design would embrace this side.
Your land is absolutely stunning. The rocks really do make it wonderful 😊. John is in his element.
Just loving what you are doing ❤
Just wondering how far are you from the closes South African border. Tara can you speak afrikaans. Regards Ben
Great project, Michael!!
It's a very unique environment you are working in and you make it more beautiful.
What about Portugal? Is there any progress?
Oh with Easter coming up, I can only think about how cool an Easter Egg Hunt would be for the boys in that beautiful secret garden!
Looks so amazing
Great video thank you
Tyra, you had a good idea but John had a different one, can’t wait to see what’s going to look like in a couple of weeks and you have the perfect place for forest gnomes .
Sorry….but cut the board 😂
Love every minute of this episode, keep on going guys ❤ much love ❤
When you left Portugal (I’m from Portugal), I was honestly so sad… but you truly proved me wrong. Your family is amazing and such an inspiration. I’ve just started my own brand and you inspire me so much. You show us that it’s really possible to follow our dreams. Thank you for creating such beautiful content!😍😘
Just so you know Lavender chases away mosquitoes..so plant lots near your patios, front door and back door..planting mint and marigolds are also great bug repellant. Spraying mint water on your plants and veges works very well. Tara see if you can learn candlemaking..when you make candles grate orange peel and add it to the wax. When you burn the candle it deters mosquitoes. And i cant wait to see that grass neatly mowed.
Question..will john ever think of a cascading water feature with all those rocks you have in your garden all for free?
John says you can plant grass over rocks..we'll i did in mauritius..there there is a lot of volcanic rock..so I laid about 10cm of soil and compost..grass is growing. 😂😂😂
Well of course there are fairies in the secret garden.🧚♂🧚♀
A smokeless firepit would look good somewhere in there….
If u can't thatch why don't you use wooden shingles
💡 Oh no, LED lighting on your Face…? @12:10 > LED emits 'Blue light' > *BBC Earth*: Are LED lights making us ill?
> There are growing concerns that LED lights have a 'negative impact'…. on human health that we don’t fully understand. (change to incandesant…in your home)
Studies of the impact of… blue light on healthy adults show it inhibits melatonin secretion, which disrupts sleep… and can affect quality of life,
physical and mental health and susceptibility to illness. > Tara Please….Do your Research. (You are usually very aware of living healthy)
Looks absolutely silly.
& how much is 30 percent off of….abt. $1,000 ?
222,000!!!🙏🎉😍💕
Love you guys and have enjoyed watching you over the years.
Watching you plant your fruit trees and listening how excited you get when talking of planted more, I was reminded of when I was young like you and planted my first fruit trees. No one told me that some need a different variety of the same, some actually need a female and a male and some are self pollinating. Just thought I'd share so in three years, when you hope to get your first harvest, you won't be like me and wonder where you went wrong.
Please tell Crusoe a big happy birthday for me🎉🎉🎉
Praying God continues to abundantly bless your sweet family.❤
