Two years of progress. Summer Garden Tour. Building a vegetable garden and orchard from an old neglected farm. A look back at then and now and how much has changed in such a short time (in the world of gardening).
We hope you enjoy the tour and the wonderful transformation that has taken place so far.

  2. What a transformation ,I hope yall hav an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction when your having your morning coffee an looking out over your beautiful land.
    I ll be waiting for the next one😉

  3. Hi Dan and Meraid, A very Happy Birthday Meraid, sending you best wishes. I love to see everything you have done. I learned so much from your videos, you both are very inspiring! Now my husband started watching you too and got some ideas for our garden! Yayy for me. He is not into gardening so this is exciting to see. I love seeing the passion fruit vine and learning the different names of vegetables. Congratulations on your 25k plus subscribers wishing many more. Stay well.

  4. I absolutely love your garden. One thing that surprises me, nobody uses gloves or worries about snakes. I can only assume you don’t get many. I believe you only have two venomous ones. Sadly here in Australia we have many and even get them in small suburban gardens.

  5. Great Job, I'm in the Algarve and I know how hard it is to keep things alive with the heat… you have done an amazing job!

  6. I’m in Dan’s camp at 4:15 when eating the aubergine. I prefer stone fruit and pears when they are firm and tasty, rather than too juicy. It saves the juice, dribbling down my chin, or in
    Dan‘s case, the beard!

  7. Happy birthday 🎊. Your gardens are a testimony to your imagination and 😓 work! Amazing and beautiful! Congratulations 👏

  8. what a beautiful journey with wonderful hard working people. you brought joy to all of us. Thank you Both.

  9. I thoroughly enjoyed the garden tour. Loved seeing the before and after of each area! Your garden is a thing of beauty ❤All of your hardwork shows! You both should be very proud of it! Happy birthday 🎉🎂🍻 Congratulations on 25,000 plus subscribers!!🎉🎉🎉

  10. Happy 30th anniversary of your 21st birthday Mairead ☺.I've no idea how old you are … to my 75 yr old eyes everyone under 74 looks like a spring chicken … especially if it's a sprightly one nipping up and down the terraces growing enough food for the whole village. Best wishes my dear, you are an inspiration ♥

  11. Happy birthday 🌹and Thank You sooo much for the gardentour. I’m impressed and inspirated. You both are professional gardeners!

  12. Lovely garden, represents all the hard work you have put into it.
    One thing I have wondered, have you thought of putting small fountain or a bee/butterfly/pollinator puddle around to offer them water?

  13. I have a friend from the Philippines who only likes nectarines rock hard which I have never come across before. I like them not too soft and can ripen off the tree to stop the birds getting the fruits of your labour

  14. So long as they're yummy, crunchy nectaries are fine 🙆🏻‍♀️. They're usually firm on the tree… had you waited, the birds would've got it. Squirrels often get ours while i'm waiting for them to ripen, the adorable rascals! 🐿

    I'm so glad you showed how your plots are growing. You rewoke the land and tended it caringly so that it's now so productive and beautiful. You worked so hard on your land, so you indeed have fruits of your labors. Happy 21st, Meraid 🥳, and happy 1st YouTube anniversary Meraid and Dan! Besinhos 🥰

  15. Thoroughly enjoying your videos, agree with another comment on here you don't use dramatic & unwelcome clickbait titles you're just 100% genuine.
    Happy Birthday lovely lady, you've both achieved amazing results through your hard work.
    💐 🎂 🎉

  16. 😂😂😂 muitos parabéns vocês são um casal super divertido e trabalhor …foi divertido ver -te a comer a malagueta…foi preciso coragem para trincar a malagueta…😂😂😂

  17. Congratulations on your success in your wonderful garden…the hard work really paid off. You are such a joy to watch and I look forward to every episode and the progress you make….long may your garden flourish ❤️❤️🌻🌻 love and hugs from Kent x x x x x

  18. Respect for the amount of graft required. Its taken me a year to find a flattish plot that I thought I was capable of digging etc 🙂

  19. Great Wonderful place and garden, well done! 🦚🌿🍊🍋🍆🫒🥦🌶️🍑
    If the chilli is to strong, I drink youghurt that neutralizes the heat
