Harvest is over, now back to making the homestead function again #46

[@SweetOne.]

Alabaster guarding the corn and catching the mice - such a good dog! The wood cook stove finally being used must have felt so good. Congratulations on a a successful wine season.

[@kathryndruschky7983]

Thank you for commenting on your activities and bringing your viewers up to date

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks Joaquim for your vid 😇💗💗💗 love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁

[@miriammuskal5402]

Many chores to do👍

[@gundisaluusmenendiz]

Oh the memories watching your videos Quim, my father's favorite day of the year Saint Martin, the cheese the wine tasting and of course the chestnuts roasting, these are the precious moments that eventually are forgotten about when you live abroad and the old pass away.

[@lindsaywaringsculptor26]

We enjoy your videos so much Joaquim. You allow us to hear the sounds and see the countryside that we miss so much. So many people talk over these. When we finally move to Portugal we hope to work with the land, not against it. You showing us some traditional ways are extremely interesting and informative. And what a perfectionist you are!🙂 Thanks again.

[@randomjasmicisrandom]

So much already achieved, so much still to do. The pace of your life is measured but the progress is almost relentless. I look forward to seeing the next year and all it brings.

[@insAneTunA]

It is always a real pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Simplicity and true living far away from the city. Força no projeto de vida.

[@Elopes85]

Sempre o sigo que bom voltou para as suas raices, 🇺🇸🇵🇹

[@clarisse942]

Looking forward to the chicken coop and the chickens !! I love them ❤ 💚

[@MrZedagaita]

For me this is what retirement will be. Rebuilding my house , enjoying the easy life , just imagine a simple glass of wine with some chestnuts ..... what a simple way of quality life

[@luisagarcia3961]

Joaquim espero que você esteja bem e sua família adorei o vídeo obrigado ❤

[@melissaeden1219]

Terrific progress. How satisfying it must be to have had a good harvest along with all the other work you've been doing on the place. I love seeing Alabaster intent on his search for mice!

[@MrZeToZe]

Fantástico. Projeto de sonho de uma vida. Parabéns por não esquecer Portugal e as suas gentes!

[@CARLOONAN]

Who needs a cat for the mice when you have an Alabaster, loving his dedication.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Sounds like you are happy with your move and new focus on life.

[@pamsmith7369]

I roasted chestnuts this year! Delicious!

[@adelmekideche5265]

A lovely restful pace of life.🙂

Muito bacana Joaquim. Abraços daqui do norte de Portugal...likeee

[@manelgalego]

Boa tarde Joaquim. Obrigado por mais um vídeo. No meu último galinheiro também deixei a rede solta em baixo em parte do galinheiro. Não era para ficar. Usei blocos de cimento na última fiada, e virados com a abertura para cima e "chumbei" parte da rede com cimento e o resto, como andava com outras obras em mãos, conforme sobrava massa no final do dia, ia "chumbando" a rede. Tive azar, um dia o galinheiro foi atacado e o predador passou exactamente por baixo da rede que somente estava encostada ao bloco, eles tudo conseguem. Uma foi levada e ficaram 6 mortas e sem cabeça, penso que quem ataca dessa forma é o Sacarrabos, que noutros tempos não existiam aqui pela zona de Coimbra e agora existem e em quantidades apreciáveis, também a raposa que sempre existiu por aqui é digna dessa proeza de furar por baixo da rede. Aconselhava por isso, e apesar de ter o arame esticado, a coloca uma tábua de cada lado das paredes dos tijolos e encher com cerca de 5 cm de massa forte, ficando as pontas da rede dentro dessa massa. No fim de seca, retirar as tábuas. Abraço e até sábado. Boa semana. Valdemar

[@MargaridaCaraNova]

A somar mais um vídeo fantástico,boa semana.,bom trabalho. Abraço do Algarve.

[@lindagage7315]

I look forward to Sunday mornings and your video, you have a pretty good mouse hunter there! Lol looking good with your progress! See you next week!

[@luisagarcia3961]

Parabéns pela sua conquista ❤

[@GigiYenk]

I am also looking forward to the bread making. Turning corn into eggs...lol. Lovely.

[@shanebrownrigg8632]

hi joaquim,another great vid,good luck and see you in next vid.

[@perfectscotty]

Beautiful place.

[@kelvinkwarteng1074]

Well done

[@deborahwhite2339]

Is puppy dog a great pyrenees ? He looks like a golden retriever. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

[@zuzanaparusnikova7163]

Another great episode. I watch your progress with admiration. Perhaps tell us sometime what your long term project in the homestead is, what do you plan to grow and breed. Do you aim at sufficiency and selling some products? Cheers with the St. Martin wine!

[@teresaamaral3889]

Alabaster is the best! I was wondering about the tent...

[@arjanvogel6444]

If you would have looked till the end you would have known all about it 😜

[@teresaamaral3889]

@@arjanvogel6444 Actually I watched the video until the very end and heard him talking about the tent. That's why I said “I was wondering” and not “I'm wondering”. Perdeste uma boa ocasião para estares calado.

[@celiapereira5223]

Your neighbours dogs barking all the time would drive me crazy 😧😜🤪

[@pamsmith7369]

Was thinking the same thing! Cannot stand barking dogs all the time!

[@lantapaukku7629]

The great mouser. We have rats, there is a local village grain silo where grains is dried after harvesting and spill out attracts rats. Sometimes you forget when an ovcharka starts acting strange and a 60 kgs of paws rumbling in the barn attic after a rat. I think they like their life - the dogs I mean, not the rats. ;-)

[@arjanvogel6444]

Rats also have a great life 😉

[@eleanoreagly4844]

You will need to provide the chickens with a supplemental protein source as corn protein is low and will not meet the needs for laying hens.

[@notquiteoverthehill9576]

Mice, slugs & snails, lizards. They find for themselves.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Corn is mostly a carbohydrate, so the birds will get energy from it as well as a good fat source. Protein comes from the insects and invertebrates that the birds will find while foraging.

[@wilwassink5124]

[@JudyErvin-c8y]

What is your dog name? He’s having a good time with that bone

[@ColliWobblers-d1b]

Are you on the coastal section or the central section of the camino Santiago? are you planning to walk any of it and get your cert?

[@pamsmith7369]

What will the tent be for?

[@oheebatch_algorytmu]

You dont ferment any vegetables for your short winters there?

[@FernaManu]

When you say that 9% alcohol content is good for that region, you are only referring to vinhos verdes which are typically low in alcohol (but high in taste and character). It does not apply to vinhos maduros, am I wrong?

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Correct, the red Verdes are low in alcohol and high in tannin.

[@tanimereleal8556]

Prefiro que falasse como português mesmo..seus patrícios iriam gostar..parece q o conteúdo e para americanos mesmo..😮

[@Elopes85]

Verdade era bom que fala se Portugués...

[@arjanvogel6444]

We are all one and should all speak English or else we all stay separate and stupid 😇

[@suzntez]

Please talk to us, tell us what you are doing. Rather then having to guess what you are doing, please

[@karenklucas923]

What happened to the tent😊
