Over the last week we’ve been saving seeds on the homestead. It’s been hot and a great week to make sure our seeds are dry and perfect for storing.
Thank you for joining us and if you enjoyed this video, stay tuned for more to come.

Ponham 2 ou 3 folhas de louro dentro dos frascos com feijão para evitarem o bicho. Resulta com outros grãos tais como arroz .
I buy gigantes in the uk, 8 quid a kilo😮😮😮😂
The both of you amaze me on how knowledgeable about plants you both are, I just know they are beans , but then, I am a city girl , born and raised in Lisbon, only spent my summers in the country . Keep up the hard work , and you make it look so easy.

Iv'e never heard of love in a puff, sounds exciting😂😊
Hi, great video, love the puff of love plant..is that native to Portugal? See you pick bean brought memories of being young and helping my grandfather pick his beans…we would get an ice cream as reward 😊. As always I learn new things with you videos… I will be growing beans next year! Thank you for the inspiration and information. Stay well.
I thought of a bean you may like courtesy of my son in law who was born and raised in Rome. Lupini Beans are an Italian snack food. There is pre processing involved. I buy them in a jar full of beans and a brine solution. The way they are enjoyed is to spoon up a small bowl, go out on the patio, and pop them in your mouth one by one to separate the skin from the kernel with your teeth. Then discard the skin as you see fit 😅
Great source of soluble fiber (the truly good for you snack), Naturally slow food (you can't eat them by the handful) and inexpensive to make.
"A relative of the wild lupine, lupini produces both beautiful flowers and large edible beans. Cultivated mostly in the Mediterranean, lupini can be a great choice for northern gardeners as well as it is frost tolerant. Give this unique plant a try!"
Seeds can be bought online where you will also find instructions about preparation.

We are so looking forward to having our own place In Portugal. We love what you have done with your garden and are excited to see you now have permission to start renovations. We are coming to Portugal this coming week for our first visit to scope out the areas that would fit us best. We love the views you have. Any suggestions on good areas to focus would be much appreciated. Right now our main focus is inland with hills between Coimbra and Porto. Hope to meet you in person once we have a place there.
Put a towel in bottom of basket.
Loved the beans going in the jars ❤
Cheerful! Kindhearted! Humble! Dedicated! Incredible! Caring and loving people you are !🙏
U might consider for next harvesting to use a big sheet fabric for treshing, also just cut whole plant and wrap in sheet, tresh smash and just collect the beans;)
You will enjoy those beans. It is a challenge to grow anything in 40 degree heat. Well done. I take the whole plant indoors and take the peas off it’s cooler that way. You realise how easy it is to go and buy a bag of beans and a tin of chickpeas!! There is nothing more satisfying than your own produce.
How did you learn the names of all the plants. I love your show. Good luck with your house renovation.
That basket was used by fish sellers, mostly used by women and usually balanced on the head ! So you managed to find one in good condition …
That’s so wonderful you can grow so many varieties. Would you say that Northern Portugal has the best climate for growing veg?
