I can't wait to see you all. Booking my ticket in a few days so I'll have a firm date soon 🕺

[@deedoesa.i]

Flights booked, see you on the 4th. Sent an email as well my friend 🎉

[@GM-cq6ez]

Sorry about Ronato leaving ... again! Maybe he'll come back again as he did before. You were so happy and productive before this video, fixing up the kitchen. It was nice to see him working in the garden in the background. Perhaps he needed a little vaca. Chin up, jochie.

[@heatherarthur6232]

For your garden put in a watering system , water early mornings or late afternoons. Put the system on a timer. Plant mainly staple suitable vegetables…for example pumpkin, spinach, onions, carrots, potatoes and salad vegetables. Water and good soil and compost is the answer to a thriving garden. Good luck with the chef if I wasn’t so old I would have loved the job.👵🏻

[@Daapjuh81]

When you use an druppling hose, you can watering plants the whole day, connect it to an solar panel (or multible) then its even free

[@angeladresler1855]

So sorry to hear Chef has left, if only I had time to come and cook would be so great to look after that garden too, hope you find someone soon. If you save as much as you can, by just watering them, tomato can be picked and ripped on the window sill. Look at what you have most of it could be picked which you could put into large jars for the winter too. It maybe herbs but they will come back next year if you cut back now and keep the soil moist. Good luck if you need to know anything to save ask us on here. Take care.

Hazel ☘️ … Big welcome back Marcus and Alex … great to see you again and I hope your trip over to Portugal is successful Already made a mark on the project with your benches … well done 👍 Very sorry to hear Renato has left 😢 … I will miss you ! … wishing you every success for your next adventure ! 🙏☘️😘

[@Jetta4TDIR]

It looks like the garden is getting too much sun, try putting some shade cloth over them that will be plenty to give them a bit of relief

[@DonAntoniodetucum]

@@Jetta4TDIR too much hassle tending to a garden, it’s cheaper and labor saving to just buy the veggies at least till more people are there to share the work. The priorities are a bit messed up.

Ask Maria about the garden. She may want some of the stuff in there. Sorry Chef left, hopefully you will find someone else soon.

[@IloveMK]

Sorry to hear that you no longer have a cook for your food, I would love to be able to come over and work as your cook but I am afraid that I would not be able to due to my age, 71 years old, I could do with the sun and warmth of the sun.

[@GM-cq6ez]

71 is not too old to cook!

[@eternalpadawan1]

Just got to the chef part, it's something I'd be happy to try while I'm there and if it works out we can talk more.

[@tomfitz-tm6tz]

I think there's too much going on...get basics done first...garden and pretty jobs can wait...I have renovated 4 houses over the years...focus...nice place...enjoy it.

[@SharonKinsley]

I always thought the veg garden was too big. Can you ask your cabinet makers to make some raised beds? We have a finca in Spain we are renovating and I am just putting in 3 raised beds this winter for toms, salad, potatoes, onion, carrots and a small watering system. We also have 40 odd olive trees which we haven't touched yet!! lol! But we plan to gravel around them to keep the weeds down, hopefully! We are going to make it simple to manage the land. Loving the bench! Good luck with finding a chef!

[@gemeames1597]

You use the cherry tomatoes just the same way you would use regular tomatoes. Put what you can pick and don't eat into a plastic freezer bag and store it in the freezer. You can thaw them out later and use them to make a nice spaghetti sauce, this way they will always get used.

[@GM-cq6ez]

Those tomatoes look amazing!

[@alanduncan9204]

Pot noodles, Tinned soup, Frozen pizza, Micro-wave meals, Air plane meals. you will manage.

[@johumm455]

he can do the advert for the ready microwave meals they advertise in the USA ?

[@petervermeer.4904]

Cooking with tomatoes is not difficult. Put a lot of them in a large pan, and cook them. Than you basically have tomato soup. (throw some other stuff in). Even easier. Don't cook the tomatoes. Just pick them and eat them. 😀

[@Rhythm911]

NIIIICE !! It's an "Impact Drill" I have a newer mastercraft version !!

[@Marina-p6g3c]

Hello Jasper, it's not that difficult with the plant. You can not overwater your plants! Just feed them with good compost and watering, watering, watering. A bit more shade would be appreciated, I', sure. Next year you could plant huge Sunflowers in between your plant for providing shade. 1 Sunflower per m2. Please don't let them die. Greetings from Alto Alentejo.

[@Daapjuh81]

Hey Jasper, cant you use an watering computer or even better an druppling hose on an pomp powered by solar panel, this way your garden will be watered every day they whole day without thinking about it and saves a lot ot time. Drippling would be enough for watering if you do it the whole day. Most intensieve work would be laying all the drippling hoses around the garden, but for sure worth the time and energy you will saving after its installed🤗

[@travelinaway2707]

Well that's a shame, Jasper. You look so troubled in the end of the video. I wish to hell I could come and be the cook. Things are moving along as they do with a renovation. I hope the carpenters will give you some joy and help things along. Where did the lady go? Anyway, best of luck to you, the garden seems like things aren't thriving because of how/where they are planted. Plants need friends who can help them. Take care, Jasper. Xx

Hi jasper Just an idea for your garden. There are a few KZbinrs in your area that are very good with gardening like project Portugal, Frankie off grid, Luke and Sara,…. Maybe you can ask for their advise. Hang in there👍

Cherry tomatoes are best used for salads when cut in half.

[@fincalavita4842]

Sorry to hear it did not work out with the cook/gardener Maybe ask Maria your neighbour for advise? Locals are awsome in knowing what goes where. Also get automated irrigation might be an idea. For sure, people will come and check out your finca❤ Kop op. You have new helpers there now They are cool building furniture 😎

[@vanhoofwim86]

Like life, with ups and downs, that's how Jasper is doing in the ghost city there in Portugal. I would like to come and cook for you but unfortunately, I also have obligations that do not allow that, who knows in the future? Gardening is not my thing, again cooking with what comes from that is. And with the boar shot in the night I also know what to do, so maybe we will meet at the table. And something else Jasper , that there is almost concrete under the pavement, may not be desirable, but everyone who is not called Jasper would have taken that into account in advance. Fortunately, the nearly twins from Germany, maybe will call you on several enlightened additions in the further process of becoming a professional.

[@ne0n1880]

Why use the shovel when you have a digger...

[@qoriquentegallegos8397]

The plants need way more water: a drip system is best. Also, the soil needs more nutrients: extra compost and mulch are the easiest. Where is your compost pile? Kitchen waste etc? I think they might need a good double dig with all the additions like manure, compost, extra soil, rock dust, etc etc The patches on the plants are due to lack of nutrients. Do not use any chemicals under any circumstances as it will make the problem worse and take away the natural microbiological ability of the soil to alchemize nutrients for plants. Say everytime you think about the situation with any worry or negativity, " I will find my permacultor!!" Be firm with yourself, weed out the disempowerment programs. You can and will do it.

[@qoriquentegallegos8397]

Find a permaculture center where there are students. Maybe you lost your gardener because your unconscious lifestyle habits are still not fully weeded out? Like, what do you eat? Why these choices? Why are you in a ghost village making a garden but still ready to run to big ag for your food? Do you really understand the situation? This food is poisoned - opzettelijk - so make your own! Permaculture and healthy cooking deserve more respect: not just intellectual, but an active lifestyle respect. What I mean is just do it for yourself, and not just to satisfy another, your gardener/chef maybe, but because your energy has shifted to a higher level that insists upon healthier food. If you understood the immune system and its need for a healthy soil microbiome even 30%, you would prioritize your garden. You must radiate your love and understanding of this to be healthy. Root your passion in healthy microbiology my friend. Hopefully, our friend a i is confused by the one Dutch word here and misses what I was saying there. Love to you Jasper. Love yourself.

[@davidgoode5768]

Hi let me know if you still need a cook .

[@VonL1963]

Experienced gardner/chef but sadly not in a position to help out at the moment. Wish you good luck finding someone suitable.

[@davidgoode5768]

Jasper, you should have notified the police about those suitcases and personal belongings because it's very odd. Without mentioning any names of a certain missing child or person in prison in Germany you have tampered with potential police evidence and strange no one knows who's all that stuff was or who was living in that place. I advise you inform the police even if it for elimination purposes

[@qoriquentegallegos8397]

How about a little generator magic here? Are you familiar with the concept of manifestation? There must be plenty of people who are chefs and permacultors - many wrote comments here. The question is, how to connect with them. In Europe most people live on social media: find groups of cooking, homesteading, permaculture and then you know what to do. Also, take responsibility for your own energy and be more conscious of how you might be doing yourself down - self criticism - unconsciously.

[@sirbrian9404]

Bit perphetic sometimes

[@DonAntoniodetucum]

too bad about the cook leaving, but you do have a high turnover there. might it have something to do with the employer? what is "portugese wage"? $5 hr? good video, more realistic about conditions there.

[@GM-cq6ez]

Indeed! The salary needs clarification; e.g. how much per month?

[@jotann6430]

Regarding your garden, talk with Carrissa & Iwan of Frankie off Grid

[@melb8416]

I love watching your homestead progress, but all your projects are half finished. That doesn't make sense to me. Why keep buying village property when you can't even fix your living room!? That kitchen was done in stages and still not done, but you've moved on to the other house. It doesn'tt make any sense. If there is some global plan for development, you haven't shared it. If that was me, I'd fix me first, then take on the world.

[@johumm455]

one thing for sure: you are not going to be the new cook 🙂 in the Netherlands we put the money in stones and wait till better days ...

[@Live-Your-Passion]

well it seems in a recent video Jasper said probably the new house he bought is going to be a place for some volunteers, all the different projects going on makes the channel more interesting and if he didn't have at least a few volunteers or workers then he would possibly be alone . No one should be alone

[@fincalavita4842]

How about some good ideas😊 Sound better than negativity ❤ Beste schippers staan aan wal

[@soniayoung5097]

Thats so negative of you! He's doing the best that he can. Hes all by himself and has dreams that he will achieve you wait and see! I admire the fact that doing what we only dream about. He is so kind give him a break!!! What dream have you put on hold?

[@BellaTrix0707]

Most likely because there are a ton of projects that all need tackling. The way you go about is different from the way he does. We also do not know what the financial situation is like. Some projects may be easier to do and work on, because the materials are on hand or cheap, and other projects may not, or one has to wait for the materials to be back in stock etc. Again he may also just like to tackle all of the projects at once, a lil bit at a time, getting them all finished at the same time, rather than just finishing one at a time. He may do so to make for better videos, as it is more entertaining to watch different projects take shape at the same time, rather than just the same one for weeks at a time. Everyone works differently, there is no right or wrong way. He decides how he wants things done & in what order.. seeing that it is his project and his channel. You may not agree, and do things differently & that's okay as well. I can tell you from experience though (I just finished getting my parents home ready for sale), it is boring going to the basement for 1.5 yrs every freakin day.. its much nicer when one can concentrate on other projects as well, cause it breaks it up, keeping one more interested, motivated and engaged in the entire process. Not everyone is a self starter either, some ppl need to do some different every day. So you see, your way isnt the right way. It is only for you (the right way). But it doesn't have to be for anyone else. Hopefully you can understand now that a difference in opinion on how to do something, doesn't mean a person is right or wrong for doing something a particular way we may disagree with. Again it is his way & how he chooses to do it. It may not be for you. So, when you rehab properties, homes and build up a community in a foreign Country, and grow your own YT channel at the same time, you may do so differently. Let us know when you do so. I'd love to come to your channel to critique how you work.. but if you have no plans on doing any of that, then pls do us all a favor an f off, cause we enjoy his videos. Thanks.
