#73 Foraging Wild Herbs

Chiara from Lake Orta is visiting to show me which plants from the property are edible. Besides that the works continue: levelling the driveway, breaking the rock that is in the ground in front of the cabin, some work on the inside walls during a rain storm, and planting some potatoes.

[@h.rutten2187]

Would you like to know from someone who predicted the current situation over one and a half decade ago what really is going on. Seen it through looking into the occult with help of other people exposing this in the U.S. etc. Even predicting the Dutch coalition in 2010 ten months ahead of time due to Freemason symbolism, rituals and ritual dates.(10-13-2010-announcement new coalition dutch government recognized on 14-10-2010 by knights of Malta “queen” Beatrix in ritual connection to the banker bailout on 10-13-2008 in reference to the original Friday the thirteen 10-13-1307 the day the templars got prosecuted. Same way I predicted the “33” Chilean mineworker would be saved on 10-13-2010 as a false flag rescue attempt by Freemason controlled NASA to glorify the at that time unpopular Freemason president of Chili that had served under Pinochet. Could go on and on but see for yourself what really is going on, just watch and learn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4quaJeIetpogNE (kijk vanaf 10:10) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaS7oZ1_gNJ7Z9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqKlnaCAfrmAock kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3POc2dur7SBqtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXdYXqFfpaUoc0

Aside from Chiara's fascinating and vast knowledge of wild herbs, the first few scenes with her were of a cinematic quality that were likely the envy of many filmmakers. It seems from the comments, that I wasn't the only one to have noticed. Whilst there was nothing untoward or any suggestion of any romance, the scenes were incredibly romantic in the broadest sense of the word encapsulating and connecting all the factors of the natural surroundings as well as the two wonderful people in the video.

[@natneopit5366]

He sometimes seems from a bygone era but it's also this region of northern Italy that seems from a bygone era, which was exquisite and natural (in some regards) at the same time. It's not necessarily "insane skills", he has simply had lots of practice and experience and a lot of effort and work, so in the end he gets his project to be finished and to be enjoyed.

I appreciate how much you keep your episodes real for us, Martijn. You aren’t spinning a fairytale for us, but sharing the actual way that life flows. It’s what makes your story relatable to so many of us, even though we may be living on the 4th floor in a busy city (me) not building a cabin homestead (you.). I recognize the moments of weariness, calm, satisfaction, and frustration. That’s part of the deep pleasure that comes from sharing someone’s real life. We are the same. Thanks for what you do each week.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

You should have a calling sound to gather the chickens, When you feed them make a sound that can be loud and then you use that same sound all the time to call them, they will come because they will think they are getting food.

Don't let them out of the coop before mid-morning. They tend to lay eggs in the morning. Keep the straw in the nest boxes nice and fluffy and change it regularly. If you see your hen settling down in the wrong nesting spot, gently grab her and move her to the nest. Provide artificial light in winter. They need at least 14 hours of light each day. If you notice your hens trying to sleep on the nesting box remove then, if they sleep on the nesting boxes, they will not lay eggs there.

Been watching your videos from the time you acquired the two cabins. It's been quite a journey for you and for us who have been following. You are a cinematographer, and an artist. You know how to keep the flow of a storyline going without much talk. You also know how to show just enough of what you are doing to give an idea of what's happening. There is continuity without becoming boring and repetitive. This is "hands down" the best youtube channel, among the ones I have subscribed to. There is class, rustic elegance, and so much more. You give your viewers vicarious enjoyment week after week, even in imagining what a one week old coffee cinnamon bread must taste like. Makes me wish I could have a bite or two. Just wanted to leave this comment, so you also hear what an Asian viewer thinks of your channel. Till next week's episode! P. S. I could watch an entire episode devoted to your four chickens.

"I think I hear something, the sound of happiness..." I was so glad to see them too... Say goodby to your allergies and to any pharmaceutical that you may have. It was really nice to have Chiara over. You have a mine of gold there. Everything looks so beautiful and green and lush.

You had me at Titian tresses. Scientific Latin names and charming good manners and Pomona cornucopia basket and wild woman robes, OMG. Make this woman a star. Also, I feel as if eating wild herbs foraged from your own land is a rite of passage. I think maybe the mountains own you now. I would mark the locations of the St. John's lillies and see if I could propagate them. Could Chiara or your dad have tips?

She is an angel

[@saltyjenn]

The foraging was very interesting, & she was very kind to share her knowledge! I’m sure you appreciated learning more about your land.

[@kululv]

that was a beautiful video. Chiara was a real treat in every way! She's so beautiful and it's amazing what she knows about all the plants. I wished you would have given her a microphone, I'd loved to hear more about all the plants. And the salad looked really tasty! That rock was a backbreaker! The clouds were just mystic!

[@BjoernBlomquist]

Hm, am I the only one who saw Martijn looking at her and smiling when they ate together? I mean if the two are not perfect for each other then no one is.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

You are an inspiration. I see paintings in every scene. The one with you and Chiara on your lookout rock is a Masterpiece.

[@Anne-yw6ed]

A particularly lovely episode. Love the way the hens hang out together, they are beautiful.

[@Gerrycav]

The photography is phenomenal, 3D-like.

[@chelsealeonardbaum23]

[@stanB950]

Positive energy and thoughts to you >>>> ^^^

[@megmillcar]

What an absolutely adorable lunch. I love her!

[@shorerocks]

Not really interested in gardening. And now I am sitting here, listening to Chiara explaining birches. And enjoying myself. Thank you, both of you!

[@dcraig7712]

I'll bet you scolded those chickens for not leaving a note about where they were going. 🤭

[@tribhuwan9570]

Do more foraging together 😅😅 great

[@mattiafara3289]

When she said Maggiociondolo, I felt good inside my heart.

[@originalnickosiris]

Still on my catch-up marathon here in March 2024. Seems like every episode that goes by is my new favourite. #73 sure is a contender, it's got everything. We've seen $100m movies that aren't as well crafted as this for goodness' sake.

[@misscrafty5904]

Wow !!! One hour video. Yay... thank you so much Martijn .. you made my day. Blessings and love to you and you everyone following you on this amazing journey ❤
