Stone House Portugal | The Tale of Rogue Pruning and Willow Bed Blunders

[@kwells8807]

Oooh, you could have used those broken terracotta tiles for a base in your garden beds, above ground planters and plant containers! Oh well 😊 Pig vs. Hog: Really no difference. Two words for the same animal. Some use pig for a young animal & hog for the older ones!!! Your both making your home to your liking! 👍👏 Good job! Looks great!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi There. Thanks for the tips. Luckily we've still got lots of broken terracota tiles lying around. Thanks for clarifying hog and pig 😃

[@angelagrant5827]

Pigs are primarily raised on farms and are smaller in size, while a boar is more muscular, defining it as a male pig with tusks. Hogs are larger than pigs and are primarily raised for meat production. It's important to know the differences to identify them in the wild or on the farm accurately.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you Angela for the info. In Europe we don't use the term hogs, although in England we have started to introduce the term "hog roasts" at summer events for those delicious barbecued pork gatherings. In Portugal, leitaō (suckling pig) is very popular.😁

It looks like you could use a tarp for piling things on to drag from one location to another, it would save multiple trips back and forth. I like your channel so far and would love to the inside being renovated too ❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

That's a great idea! Thank you. We will be starting the renovation of the house soon.

[@Nulife23]

I think the willow bed is so cool. Great shape! You guys work well together. Your husband is so nice and always positive! It's hard to find that quality in a person anymore with the world getting so negative. May you guys have wonderful week ahead!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. May you also have a wonderful week.

[@bethintexas9678]

I like your willow bed! I think that's a good re-use of materials. Pigs and hogs has been used interchangeably in places, but usually we refer to pigs as the domestic pigs on farms and hogs is used to refer to the wild pigs.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you Beth in Texas😃

[@janp7943]

A great start of a garden bed. I love the shape! Why not? Thanks for sharing your life with us. See you next week.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments 😊

[@elizabethturel78]

Regarding Pigs and the like. Boars that are wild and are beginning to be a problem in Texas I believe. They are large and have tusks. They are very hardy and carry about 20 diseases. Hogs are for meat. Although Pigs are smaller; they are not so small when they get into your garden! They will charge you! That’ll do for pigs🐖 I’m thinking positively; your apple tree will come back by September. Thanks for sharing your day.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you Elizabeth for explaining the difference between hogs and pigs in the States. 😂'Thatll do for pigs'. You are right about the apple tree! It's already showing signs of life 😁.

[@LynnBoergermann]

Hock is a part of the pig used to cook in beans , rice or soups. It’s ham hock.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Yes. In England as a child we used the hock in pea and ham soup. Delicious 😃!

Lovely video x

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you 😁

[@woomobile]

Hi I've watched alot of people creating raised beds but never seen any getting done like this. I think its a great idea, although i thought you were going to make them a bit higher but would look good if you did more n created a big circle with them then fill them with vegetables n have a circle one in the middle filled will bee attracting flowers. Anyway I'm enjoying your videos. Have a great week 👍❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Yes I agree it could have been higher. I like your idea about the circle and bee attracting flowers. We are definitely going to plant some flowers this year too.

Hello from Vermont, USA. Very much enjoying watching Tea & Tinto.

Thank you 😁

I am following! Mum and dad live very close!! ! You are doing an amazing job!! I love it!! Well done. X

Thank you for the lovely comments😃

[@jeanrichardson2044]

If you soak the less flexible willow stems in the stream, they may bend more easily. I believe basket weavers soak their vines.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Yes it's true. Thank you. Ours were fresh and it's quite difficult with the really thick stems

[@terrylink6174]

I wouldn’t say you’ve pruned it I’d say you’ve massacred it 😅😅😅😅

[@TeaAndTinto]

😅 Glad you agree 😁

[@bluebean7001]

Hey, apple wood is great for smoking meat. Just saying :)

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi there. I've tried apple smoked bacon. Delicious 😃

[@bluebean7001]

@@TeaAndTintoTotally agree. Try it on salmon or trout.

[@DJHeisenberg]

Just what I wanted for a Sunday evening watch :)

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you

[@micheledenise2305]

I hope u do a video 2x a week like alot of channels in Portugal or at least 1 a week and i believe ur channel will grow fast!! I can't wait for the pond!!! ❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you for the very positive feedback. We really appreciate it. We are quite new to it and still learning the ropes, so at the moment we are still working towards those goals 😀

[@alexandrinalouro8991]

Essa duvido que volte a dar fruta com uma poda dessas é candidata a lenha no próximo inverno...espero estar enganada

[@icandivideos5743]

I like the willow bed! Wondering if I can make one too!

[@TeaAndTinto]

If you do, I'd love to hear about it

[@zedacruja681]

Say with me SALGUEIROS,NICE PLANTING BED

[@TeaAndTinto]

Ok. You've convinced me. Salguireos, nice planting bed. Thank you 😃

[@polgarauk5606]

Ummm ok I have to agree with you that wasn't a pruning that was definitely a massacre 😂 Ooh I like the garden bed it looks unique and sweet my only thing/expectation was that it would have been higher 😊

[@TeaAndTinto]

😅Glad you agree. maybe if there's time we'll add to it😃

[@johnoatley8586]

dead leaves r ideal for raised beds 🙂

[@TeaAndTinto]

Agreed. We'll remember to save some in Autumn 😃

[@AnneGregory-l5k]

Hi lovely’s. Is a hog a wild boar ?

[@TeaAndTinto]

Apparently if it's younger it's a pig and if it's older it's a hog 😃

[@LynnBoergermann]

A wild pig is a javelin

[@TeaAndTinto]

Yes. We have javeli visitors at night on the land 🙂

Muito obrigado pela informação.😃

[@cryptogranny4854]

I think you are often much to negative about the effort your husband does. You spread your frustrations to the vieuwers. Mirrors not hung up... you need to compliment him more. He is always supportive about you though. You must be thankful for that and return the good vibes.. If you keep on putting him down he will get fed up with all the work. You got marvellous place, a dream come through. But this way you both won't make it.. don't be a wife who always complaints, but be thankful for all the work that gets done. Enjoy life! You both live a dream!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi friend. That's just our style of humour. Sorry you don't like it and thanks for your concern but the banter really is planned and designed just for entertainment and I'm not offended at all. Miko. Hope you have a good day 😃

[@cryptogranny4854]

@@TeaAndTinto sorry, I did not wanted to offend you, only speak out my worries. I am 73 and have seen a lot of very nice couples end up splitting because of nagging.. But don't forget in the meantime take a few times a day off, go to sometwhere beautiful to enjoy the good things of life! I wish you all the luck, and I still think you got something really valuable there!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much friend. Wishing you our best wishes. Have a great weekend 😀
