Hey to everyone!!
We are two young adults, Despina 22 and Deivids 23 renovating an old farm house from 1817 in Latvia.
Everything in and out of our house has been done by ourselves with no hired help.
DIY is going to apply to nearly everything in our house. Our budget is tight and that has made us appreciate every “ugly” part of this house and turn it into something new and beautiful.
We give new life to things that others would throw away!
In this journey we are not alone! We are starting up our little Farmily:
5 Goats & 6 Goat Babies
3 Sheep & 3 Sheep Babies
4 chickens
1 Rooster
and 3 Geese
Oh yeah and our cat Ivi
Despite our daily problems we are two young people full of joy and happiness, ready to start a new crazy chapter in our life. It wouldn’t be fair to keep this fun just for us!
That’s why we want YOU to also be part of our Farmily!!
We love our very supportive community!!
Thank you so much for the support you are giving us. Every view, like, share, subscribe and financial support means a lot to us. Any support is extremely appreciated!

Those LED lights are terrific ! A 24 inch strip uses less than $7 electricity a year. Much cheaper than florescent lights. I didn't know the stork was so friendly to you- he's right there in your garden ! Getting all the worms...

[@richardjones5255]

Your seed growing was on an almost industrial scale, no wonder it took you a while to get them transplanted. When they are so small, the seedlings are easily damage by picking them up, which adds pressure on you to be very careful. I agree with the comments about a possible cold frame or poly tunnel to 'harden plants' off or even act as a greenhouse to extend the length of your growing season.

[@peggyannparkes1863]

Cabbage is a cool weather crop. If you wait too long, it will bolt and go to flower in the heat.

[@user-ho3dk4pg8y]

There’s nothing so gratifying as watching other people work. Ha! In all seriousness, you guys are great! I’m jealous of your youth and enthusiasm. May you have many many blessings on your beautiful property!

[@marciaward3045]

If your new plants seem to struggle you might check into "hardening off" which is a process of getting new plants acclimated to the outdoors. As always, your videos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[@komocka]

Yes, to straight put out plants from indoor light often kill the plants, they are not used to neither sunlight or wind!

[@YW84LUV]

Looking good! Remember to harden off your seedlings. A couple hours outside in the shade, then a few hours more, then another hour or two in the full sunshine, and so on until they can go outside all day. We've had some VERY windy days here in Nova Scotia and that has been so hard on my baby plants. We lost a bunch. Hopefully yours have better luck. Hugs to both of you!

[@justme-on7bn]

Where in Nova Scotia? I had relatives on cape Breton.

[@judysavannah1578]

Still envying that dark rich soil! I live on a barrier island, mostly sand and some crummy dirt the developers of our homes put down 😖

[@sandranatali1260]

Everything looks healthy and beautiful! So many bees flying around, maybe it's time for some bee hives. Another product that could be added for sale in your store. Beautiful jars with your logo on them. People around the world, love to have organic honey on their shelve. Think about adding Bee Farming! Using KZbin community to educate yourself about caring for the bees.

[@mgh4400]

A lot of nice starts, maybe, if you have place, use the containers, put a little bit of dirt and the seed, then as the plant is growing, add more dirt, your plants will not be suffering of the first transplant. Also, if you have the lid of the containers, put them on and then you have a small greenhouse. That's how I started my greens this year, and I can say, that they all survived and it was a lot of less work. Happy to see you young folks to be so happy of all your learning

[@sharonsmith9478]

I love all your videos no matter what you are doing in them i just love you guys you all have a bless day

[@helenblatherwick8994]

Hi David and Dessy. Jobs are never ending. The lights have done their job,an abundance of plants. If you had a cold frame,polly tunnel you could harden off the seedlings before planting out. Dessy your right you could store carrot in the ground. You just need to put a thick layer of spent hay/straw on top and that stops the frost getting to your roots,an experiment maybe for next year,same for swede/ turnips too. The blossom is so beautiful and the stork nest is camouflaged, everything has grown so much. Recycling, I do the same till the plastic goes brittle. Usually 2/3 seasons. Loved the music, goats playing and interesting about sheep Sheering!. 🐑 stay safe. Thanks for sharing.

[@vickismallwood2082]

Your plants are doing great.

[@gabrielebehr563]

Looks like a pink Plantage. Nice video👍

[@carolynburrell4747]

Love your videos, and really like the music you play. It always matches the video perfectly.

[@lynnkibbe2929]

You have a nice group of crops. It is a lot of work but having your own fresh veggies is worth it. Nothing tastes better. I think the idea of raising bees is a good one. Especially since you planted all those fruit trees. So sad to see the goats grow up! They're still cute and entertaining but if they could only stay small and cuddly

[@secretlocketsparks8092]

Yeah!

[@doloresrozman5612]

Love you 2. Suggestions for you. Cut or take off lower branches from tomato plant then plant stalk deep, roots will grow on stalk & you'll have a nice strong plant,to not water from top. They don't like leaves wet. Don't over water. You can also steak tomatoes, cukes you did your beans/peas. GOOD LUCK 👍

[@Hollybank5]

So much endless work for a farm life !!! All the plants look very healthy!! I think your garden will flourish !! ❤️❤️

[@JoanOfArgghh]

I really do love the classical music you use! So much more enjoyable than the chipmunk music on most videos.

[@jackiehutton1023]

Enjoy it

[@rosinamuller9735]

I love watching your Videos, they are just so relaxing

[@FarmFreshIB]

The carrots over wintered. If you add a heavy mulch of hay over the row they often keep in ground well.

[@crazyinclarence5531]

Those plants got a great headstart with the grow lights!

[@elizabethmesora2558]

You have such a beautiful farm

[@miked1639]

Just a suggestion. Aluminum foil on walls ceiling and base will optimize your light.

[@gailjohnston6102]

Looks like great , rich soil to plant in. Storks are known to throw a baby or two out of the nest so that the remaining chick's get stronger. Could you put a net under the nest ,down low to catch the rejected chick's and raise them?

[@debefeldman]

I just love your videos. Like all the other commenters say, the music is wonderful as well as the editing. I hope your veggies grow and provide lots of food. Do you have an irrigation system? Can’t wait to see the next video.

[@janwilson1497]

Wonderful, extremely good music!!

[@dianearmoogan3326]

You guys are doing great work with your garden.

[@bjbrown6884]

I can't grow food in my beach sand soil but after years of making it good I now grow my food in nursery containers. I am in Florida USA so we grow February to June or July and then August and September through the winter. It doesn't freeze much. Save every container to grow food! Best wishes and you have a lovely farm!

👁️✝️🛐👁️😠🌡️👣🌪️🌋🌫️🔥👀👂🙏🏻⏳,. You two are so blessed, GOD JESUS CHRIST gave you Two alot of talent abilities and blessings

[@bethhardin8795]

Wow! It looks as if you're planting enough tomatoes to feed an army I hope your animals will benefit from the surplus. My tomatoes have been on larger pots, then onto the ground and are far ahead of some. Maybe you can plan to have a greenhouse layer, to get plants started much earlier. I report into big pots and the tomatoes keep getting larger and sometimes even have blooms and fruit, by the time they are planted in the garden. I call those cheaters and the goal is to have the earliest tomatoes around. Good luck with your garden and enjoy the results of your labor. I certainly enjoy mine.

[@qinoqino7643]

[@mercedesarmestolopez5197]

Me gusta mucho veros cada día más ,la evolución de vuestra granja y de vuestro trabajo. Formáis un equipo fantástico y una pareja preciosa , enhorabuena. Un abrazo grande desde España 😘❤️😘😘😘

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

Maybe try filling tubs with soil then use a stick to make a hole with depth depending on variety , then pop seeding into hole then tamp soil down , top up with more soil if needed ..much,much quicker and easier…… I must invest in some grow lights, they certainly make a difference.

[@phillipdickinson8557]

You rwo grow lights did there job let's plant thank you for sharing with us and your time was really great never miss a video and can't wait for next one. 😊

[@lisatrudeau6291]

I love how you started your seeds. Where you put them was perfect up out of the way and they did just fine. I need to take your idea and use next year cause I to set them in the window and I have to keep turning the pots. That looks like an easy way to do it. now have to buy me some grow lights.

[@fondoftheduh]

The carrots are making seed You can plant some winter veggies like turnips left over from last year in the spring to make seed for the winter veggies. Rutabagas. Turnip carrots. Probably more I'm not thinking about and you can use your seeds from inside last year's squash and pumpkin. Did you save some beans for seed? You can just get dry beans from super market

[@sandyfry9306]

Enjoyed.

[@estellaknox9285]

the growing light are awesome everything looks very healthy hope all your vegetable🫑🍓🍆 stays pretty and healthy🥕🥔🥦🥒🌶🫒

[@marilynwade9448]

Looks like some need planting..nice

[@jessicathespy]

The carrots aren't growing again they're going to seed. Carrots that are very hairy have a more soapy taste, but let the rest go to seed and keep the need for next year!

[@lucindaboren2996]

Let the carrots grow for their 2nd season. Let them go to seed, collect the seeds this fall. Carrots need 2 seasons to seed out. And yes you can store the carrots in the ground over winter. You get very, very cold there, so cover them with straw.

[@lucindaboren2996]

They are growing from there root. That is what they are.

[@hottown]

I've been working on my garden as well but yours is much larger and you're doing a great job! So much fruit coming on your trees!

[@gregorymcd944]

great job by both of you!! As always! can't wait to see how your garden progresses as the season moves on. Well done!

[@izzy1949]

Very productive guys...I'm doing exactly the same here...

[@louisegolder3276]

Hey Chaps, Great video, your garden looks like its going to be a lot more productive this year. With tomatoes, if they have long stems you can plant them deep so covering the stem and roots will grow from the stems making stronger plants. It only works with tomatoes though! Am Loving your daily videos and watching Avidly. Take care xx

[@iaintaylor5585]

Sveiks! I have just arrived in Rīga for a wee holiday, so now I get Latvian ads when I watch your videos. Seems appropriate!

[@Als33nbaas]

they look great nice full spectrum led lights 😁✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💪💪💪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

[@susanrothenberger6686]

I got the garden bug! From watching you guys lol

[@dudez8tv953]

Wowww Ganda naman ng area mga HALAman an MO lods

[@suziehatfield9398]

You should have planted your beans with the corn,they will climb the corn stock

[@evitanovska4545]

Great content! Love your videos.

[@alexzylstra6705]

You can leave the carrots in the ground over winter but be sure to cover them with old hay so they don't freeze.

[@bethhardin8795]

The next year, the carrots hog to seed. I love the carrot family blooms. Beautiful flowers...like wild carrots!

[@mayo5020]

hello you two, The goats look happy outside, they are running and jumping everywhere. They just need a few cement blocks and a few old planks to become outstanding acrobats. You always find the right music to accompany the video sequences. I find it unfortunate that you don't use manure in your garden or with the shrubs as fertilizer. Your garden would be much richer and your vegetables would grow better and more profitable. Usually, the manure is spread in the field before ploughing. It must be mixed with the soil by plowing. You will have good soil to grow everything on. Plus it'll empty the manure heap. My parents had a farm and a garden. To germinate the corn (corn of India), spread the grains in a deep dish and pour water just to cover them, add water gradually as it decreases, it takes several days before to germinate and ready to plant in the garden. The sprouts are very fragile to break when planting. Good luck with the garden, hope it produces lots of vegetables. I know it's a lot of work.

[@lucindahinostroza8010]

I watch you planting and I always question…isn’t that to deep? The dirt of the container needs to be level with the ground. Beautiful photography and music

[@kathleenwarner8700]

Yes! I agree! Some of their trees, bushes and veggies are too deep. If they fail it will be because of rot. The tomatoes will benefit from deep planting, though. This young couple do so many things and aren’t afraid to try anything. I certainly admire them, and wish them the best.

[@Diego_Leon]

i love it guys!!

[@karineb5980]

C'est un disney 🥰👍

[@tarinalavis5845]

Beautiful video well done

[@sandranatali1260]

What about the water problem at your front entrance??? Another question: are you going to hire someone to shear the sheep? Or, are you going to buy shearing clippers, so you can keep them sheared in the future, especially if you are going to keep the sheep. Again using KZbin to learn about shearing and selling the wool. It's just my curiosity!

[@miked1639]

What water problem 😂

[@miked1639]

420 salad grows well under lights lol

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Look up Companion Planting ...!!!!

[@Oregontrailblazin]

and learn about what soil types tomatoes like and learn how to remove the sucker leaves off the tomatoes !! xo

[@Oregontrailblazin]

Spray the sweet creams containers black ...outside

[@jaynemar1]

Carrots can over winter in the ground.

[@Chereese0808]

That's strange those carrots 🥕 🤔 were growing. They must not have taken root last year but did this year. Cool! Looks like you'll have plenty of canning to do come fall /autumn. Pretty growing lights!💗 By the way, do you have your new mailing address yet?

[@eddiek0507]

Soon be able to climb those beanstalks, Just like Jack did lol...🤪🤣👍🏻

[@winnieskees9622]

Beautiful white flowers - what are they called?

[@peggyannparkes1863]

Your carrots will go to seed. They are biennials.

[@glomontero6011]

I love ur videos. I would like them more on a schedule like M-W-F Or Tus- Thr- Sat. That way everyone ( me) can control our …….. I look everyday and I’m very disappointed when there is no video. I know it my problem but it would be nice 👍

[@eugeniuszuzdrowski6300]

Hello 😁😁😁

[@niknoks6387]

Do you store your carrots in sand in the cellar? 😊🇬🇧

[@DoBeDiff]

Yes we did and it worked great! But closer to may they start to rot away as it gets warmer. We need to clear the rotten ones once a month next winter. 😀❤
