I'm sure this has been said but just incase. If you place those tomatoes in a bunch between two same sized plate you can cut them all at once in half.

[@PeteAxeShields]

Excellent video again Bee & Theo - your homestead gets better and better - your whole journey in Portugal has been an incredible experience to view :) Hope you got your wee present via email ? I'm not sure which email address you use so I sent an attachment to a few addresses ( including the one on here ) anyway, much love to you both xx

[@annescott6137]

🙋hi from Scotland hi bea and Theo so glad you are going to plant a vegetable 🍆 garden I have an allotment and grow everything if you can get wood chips put them in the bottom of your raised beds they rot down so fast and turn in to wonderful compost and also take up leaves and I the same you are so lucky to have the chickens that's your manure put the scrapings of chicken manure in also you really only need about two feet of soil to grow stuff except carrots good luck with it love your vidios and so glad to see bea feeling better stay safe take care Anne Scott from Scotland

[@brittabaar4663]

It really is wonderful to see Bee back in the vlogs. I definitely missed her smile!

[@gingerclark8673]

So great to see you back Bea. Your smilelgts up the world. Look forward to seeing your videos each week.

[@julietrask7497]

Bee has the best smile!

[@LAT.MTL.]

Was just about to comment exactly the same… 💓

[@ybnormalrn]

I, 100% agree. I've missed her in the past video but as a covid nurse, I do understand health care comes first. Glad to see she is doing better!

[@dennistaroy]

It's great to see you back on camera talking to us Bee - Theo's been great, a real trooper, but I've always enjoyed the dynamic you two have together. Welcome back Bee, we've missed you!

[@renelabuschagne6894]

It really soothed my soul to see everyone back on the farm, including the chickens. Bea you’re smiling face made me so happy. I can’t tell you how much I missed you, even though Theo has done an amazing job 🥰🥰🥰

[@lcwathome821]

Me🦋👑❤😘🙏 too

[@andrewmicklethwaite6807]

you missed out the truck

[@CustomPortraitArtist]

I have to let Bee know - I’ve really missed her energy, smiling face and just voice on your videos. Oh and especially your contagious laugh. To Bee …you are such a beautiful person with a radiant energy soul. I’ve been praying for you. ❤️ I love you both and have enjoyed seeing the deep and endearing love Theo has for you. You’re such an amazing couple. 💐

[@NKBobcat]

When Bee was picking apples I was thinking, "please talk, please talk, please talk!" And when she did my face lit up with a big smile. Her personality brightens up the day and I was happy she felt up to it today! PS! I bought a knife for my wife!

[@JeanMarie561]

I can’t stop smiling! So wonderful to see Bee so happy and energized.

[@beezhomestead6576]

Bea, you look so happy talking about the garden. Everyone should be growing something if possible. All the best. 😊💕🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@cepearle7072]

I was thinking same thing. So good to see Bea back. You both have been in my prayers for your healing, strength and health. Growing things are so good for your outlook. One of my happy places is walking through gardens centers.

[@SongOfEire]

Each one of you is so charismatic and lovable, and together you’re completely irresistable! My husband and I are in our seventies, and we just love you to pieces!

[@IvyRoad]

Ok, I can admit it now: much as I love Theo, and I do, I have missed Bee sooooo much! Lovely to see everyone - Bee, Theo, Gingy, Fernando, and the chickens together again

[@CompostHeap]

Delighted to see you both back into action in front of the camera. Indeed Bee, chickens are so worth it: eggs, fertiliser and very therapeutic to watch with practically no vet fees. The gardening growing season in Portugal will be so long compared to the British one. Every day, Hubby and I are chuffed at the number of items on our plate we have grown. Nothing quite like it, far superior to shop bought...Live the dream and keep safe despite mischievious Fernando best efforts!

[@mirandabruning3953]

Bee it makes my heart sing seeing you so much better. I hope you keep feeling better every day. You are such a beautiful soul❤

[@judithchilcoat5852]

Whatever you're taking, I could use some for sure. 😁 Glad the stay in England has had such a positive effect.🥰

[@kathybest6950]

Bee it is so wonderful to see you 🙂 Theo did a wonderful job but you two are good together. The cats have to be so happy to be home that was quite the adventure for Fernando.

[@maryellencook9528]

Absolutely wonderful to see Bee's beautiful face again. So happy that she is healing.❤🙏🌹🙏❤ What would be the likelihood of your obtaining an old shipping container to use as a workshop/storage unit?

[@myfavs253]

Tyler and Todd, if you check their video, just got a very nice one at an auction. Very sturdy and nice.

[@pattiwhite9575]

I can't wait to see how your garden grows. I don't know what tie of the day you were filming but it looked like it was very shaded. You will need a bed in full sun for some of the plants. Plan well and ask advice from you other Portugal friends. Start small with basics and add more boxes as you go. Save your chicken poo for fertilizer. Maybe build a dual building for garden on one side and tool storage on the other. The pointing is going to make you place pop. And it will be cleaner in the end. Love that pizza over you have. Yum Can you share your dough recipe??

[@debsbird8693]

Just so happy to see Bea’s lovely face again! 🥰🥰

[@mardimccabe141]

it is SO NICE to see you guys walking around on your land with your chicks and kitties! Just feels like I'm sitting there in a chair watching you carry on with stuff.

[@kevinlittlejohns342]

Just a quick note to thank you both. Your channel has helped me through lockdown and pretty serious ongoing MH issues. I live alone, see my kid once or twice a week but family 180 miles away in Scotland. Really helped following your journey. Take care, keep up the great work on the homestead ♥

[@ruthquinn6229]

sending love Kevin. sorry you've been doing it tough. lean into the community. we are all here fir you brother. bless

[@ashleighjaimaosborne3966]

Hope you find greater inner peace Kevin. Be well 🇨🇦

[@candynewton4945]

The new door looks grand, the idea for the root cellar, brilliant, pointing the wall... coming down the home stretch now. Home sweet home, Theo, Bee, the chickens and cats are together again. 🌹Just purchased my HUSK knife, thank you, Theo and Bee. You'll have that home complete by the holidays, can hardly wait to see Bee decorate it. She has exquisite taste. Great video as always. 👏😉

[@toddpeterson2362]

It is so nice to see bea and her beautiful smile when she is talking about stuff she loves!!

[@heathercave]

The bow tie!! lol. Great joy and peace seeing you back on the land, making gardening plans, chickens running about, Fernando being all of who he is, and pointing… that wall. happy

[@MissJen007]

Brilliant idea for the chest freezer, I’ve also heard of people using them to store their animal feed as they are rodent proof. Exciting news about the garden! Can’t wait to see it grow! 🙂

[@barbibutton9619]

Never heard of that but it makes sense...nothing getting into one of them

[@Roosmarijn035]

That's what I use it for (horse feed)

[@scrum1246]

It made my day to see Bee smiling and laughing. And I was yelling at the TV to get the little trickster Fernando to stop, glad Theo caught it

[@artycles]

If you get time, it's a good idea to remove old fallen fruit away from beneath the trees, this lessens infestation of bugs into trees for future crops. Compost, chooks will soon get rid of the old discarded fruit. It's so lovely to see you home appreciating your beautiful property.😁

[@ericahoffman3576]

My chickens love to help with this chore! :)

[@lisagunheimadams5134]

Or make apple wine!

[@myfavs253]

I was wondering if you have wildlife around there. Do you have deer, raccoons, opposums, skunks, coyotes, anything besides mice and rats? Deer love apples.

[@ivydickson7596]

Apple cider vinegar.

[@DE2borknot2b]

Kay Lancashire -- yes! it's so important to the health of the trees/plants/veggies to remove dead vegetation.... otherwise bugs will infiltrate....it doesn't take much for bugs to find a tree/veg/plant to infest. 😯😲😵 Also, trim dead branches off tree crops for it's health. Gardening shows talk about this or go online to find the info. I've been gardening for over 8+ years, a newbie by some people's years in gardening but keeping things tidy is so important. You two are rocking it! 👍 Love the kitties....😼😼 Love the property...all those lovely fruit trees established (fig....yum!!) 😎😎

[@maryjohnson4418]

My heart was filled with delight to see Bee’s beautiful smile!! Welcome back!! You can just tell how happy Theo is too! ❤️ from Texas

[@hannahmonkcom]

Shipping container for a storage unit for sure! Tyler and Todd got one with a roll down door instead of a flip up door - space saving genius!

[@maolm2150]

What a blessing to see Bee back in her happy place.🤗

[@42apprentice]

Lovely to hear from Bea at length again. The root cellar idea sounds great.

[@ericahoffman3576]

agreed!

[@lindaritchie3770]

It's good to have you guys back I missed watching you you have a nice place

[@juliejones7358]

It’s lovely seeing Bea’s smiling face back in the vlogs. Look after yourself and stay safe. ❤️

[@raecouvillion287]

I’m so happy to see Bea smiling, and interacting with us it just makes my heart sing. I usually watch but don’t comment. So happy to see that things seem to be getting back to normal. You’re both about the same age as my daughter. I’m so excited to see the next steps in your projects. And to get the chickens back.

[@Outdoorlass]

All is good and wonderful again, Bee is back! Theo, we all love you too.

[@patricialora5692]

I hope you can both feel the love and warmth from your audience 💗. It's great to see you happy and healthy.

[@dorstone7632]

Just wondering if your garden will get enough sun. You two brighten my day every time I see your videos. Such beautiful photography.

[@starsparkle999]

That's what I just had to come in and comment on. I have gardened for decades and the first thing I noticed was how much shade there was in the area where they plan to garden. I will also comment to them directly somehow. As you obviously know, they must get enough hours of full sun and it doesn't look like they get enough of that in that shady area.

[@lunayahwitch]

You could work with the boulder and just create a stone ramp by adding more , easy access for wheelbarrows as well❤️

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Yes the wheelbarrow is so useful though the seasons

[@debbievinsant4610]

Very true I think a ramp would be better as well

[@newsgiirl]

I agree!

[@christyhathaway8998]

It is so great to see Bea on camera again ... what a bit of sunshine when you see that smile! Love you guys.

[@anetzband1383]

I smiled all the way through this video. So happy to have Bee back smiling and talking to us, and I loved seeing even a little bit of the cooking. Again, your editing skills are mind-blowing, Theo. This is a fabulous channel.

[@nickrachjames]

I love seeing Bea and I've got to say that smile is beautiful. I hope you both always take time if you need it. I watched Max and Lee on KZbin from the beginning of their channel. Then I watched both on their own channels. I pray everyday that there are no more lives lost that way. I lost my 23 year old son to suicide in 2019. I don't want to think the worst ever but I'll never get over losing my son. I don't want that for anyone. Sincerely, I love you both and your both amazing people.

[@BH-oq7pz]

SOOOO GLAS TO SEE YOU GUYS BACK TO DOING VIDEOS TOGETHER!...LOVE your property!

[@the55mac]

Gingey-beautiful, confident, loving, always a star ... love when you include footage of her in your vids. 🐾💕

[@johnchandler6474]

A big thank you to you both for being back in Portugal. Youre video's help me to relax and help me to see what you can do if you put you're mind to it.Its a big help,so stay strong and keep safe you're helping a nation of covid hermits dream of better things to come.

[@charawmane3277]

Love seeing Bea’s smiling face back; you put a smile on my face❣️

[@chuckt1950]

Have been watching for years,it is so good to see Bee again, Theo has really been struggling with out you, you guys are a wonderful team. First time I have ever commeted, but felt I should let you know

[@MamaVee50]

Looking forward to seeing that beautifully pointed stone wall. Let’s get beautiful Bea in a proper home soon.

[@mathewhalpin]

It's so lovely to see Bea back!! I cant wait to see the veg garden!

[@sucalew]

Such a treat to see Bea’s smiling face again. Excited to see the root cellar and vegetable garden.

[@anxen]

Oh this was a treat and a half! So wonderful to see you all doing well and lovely chickaroos back in the fold, but best of all the beautiful smile of our wonderful hostess Bee.

[@vannesareay9435]

It's lovely to see the chickens back and Bee's beautiful smile. You guys are doing awesome.

[@alidomcas]

It’s so Good To See you coming back to the videos Bee…. You are such a breath of fresh air and we missed you so much!!!

[@susanlecuirot1573]

Love the garden allotment ideas! Save your chicken manure, it makes great compost, and make sure the chickens don’t eat your seedlings xx

[@pamelaharper547]

So glad to see you Bee. Back on the property with your beautiful family. I am really looking forward to the outcome!!! Your going to love your greenhouse. Look forward to next week!!

[@beezhomestead6576]

Theo, you are so creative. Taking something that someone thought was trash and using it for fruit/veggie storage. Awesome 😊

[@bobyonker3100]

So nice to see you both so excited with all your projects. That wall inside is going to look fabulous as the rest of your home does.

[@miltonpomales5405]

Theo, I completely agree with you. Point the wall. You have become an expert with all the other stone walls. I don't know if you guys are able to find an old use shipping container there in Portugal for you to store your tools. Take care of you and Bea!!!

[@lissarosado8607]

it is so awesome to see you back and well Bea. I've missed you.🙂

[@anthonybates9928]

Bee, I am so in admiration for your strength.

[@eviedechant]

I am going to remember that freezer idea but what I loved the most about this video was Bea’s smile…seeing it made me smile…her smile and the way her eyes just shine when she does is so contagious like a great big yawn!

[@marciashedeck6342]

so good to see you both smiling and laughing and with your animals and excited for new projects....hugs and love!

[@johnkwest7076]

Loved to see B looking happy missed her a lot. Look after her and give her times to rest and your self when you begin to feel you or her need it

[@cindyhand6880]

Just love seeing both of you on the land, that door is gorgeous, the abundance of apples, I'm so happy for you both. Pizza and apple pie, hum 😋. The garden area will be beautiful too. Have a beautiful week.

[@jacquelinejordan695]

🐝 it's so lovely to see you and big up your up coming garden. Sweet Theo you're doing a fantastic job

[@sheliabarrie1959]

Bea you look so well and happy ,I'm glad you feeling better...keep your thoughts positive my sweet ❤

[@jeannestott1456]

Get the hoover hold in one hand and the rake then a little brush in the other and suck the dust up as you go will save a lot of time and dust. Your chooks look happy to be home!

[@rowinginfaith]

It is such a delight to see you back on your land and having Bee's beautiful, sweet spirit back in the vlogs! I have recently been binge-watching the show Homestead Rescue and it never fails to remind me of all the work you are doing on your own homestead. Thanks for sharing your lives with the world!

[@kindasorta3825]

A drip irrigation system would work well for you. Living traditions homestead has several videos on how to set one up. Also, concrete blocks make great planters for shallow rooted vegetables and herbs as well as providing stability around the base of raised beds. Lovely to see you guys home.

[@Sparose3]

So happy to see you both back home. You are truly blessed to have such a beautiful property. I know it’s a lot of work for y’all but the rewards will make all the hard work worth it one day soon. Then you and cats and chickens can enjoy your beautiful life!🏡🌺🌞🌷🪴

[@lawli56]

It's good to see you both looking so happy and relaxed now you're home again and I love hearing about your plans. Fernando is just a bit crazy like my Sooty was, but I think that's just a young male cat trait. My Sooty is 8 now and has mellowed a bit although he still has his mad moments and he's still a bit of a bully at times to my 14 year old cat Sandy. She can still put him back in his place though even though she's much smaller than him especially when he's trying to hog all of my lap in the evening. I definitely don't need a blanket with those two sitting on on me. 👍❤

[@evalinawarne1337]

So lovely to hear both your voices. I love you Both so very much. It is grant to see ALL OF YOU. (Including the 2 cats). Everyone is home and relaxed. ENJOY your VLOGS and HOME 🏡. CHOW. 🀄🌹✝️✝️💯🦋💯❤️🌟💕💜💗🌹🐦🦋🎉🍓🍉❣️💄🎿📽️🌻🌻‼️🐾🐣🌻🌿🍝💐

[@sylviajones4907]

Watching this video and reading comments with my two in my lap as well!

[@debbieidi5517]

Seeing Bee back in the videos again just makes me smile - inside and out! 🥰

[@Rags2Itches]

Nice to see the chickens back. I'm sure all the unusable fallen fruit could be used by a local pig farmer if you have one in your area. they'll eat any thing. Idea: make your stairs to the garden wide enough for a wheel barrow to get through.

[@violetflame88]

What a great thing to see you back in the videos Bea! You guys have a lot of exciting plans and I can't wait to see the garden. That will be a game changer to have all the veggies close at hand and fresh eggs as well. I love the look of the pointing you have already done so can't wait for that. It was really nice to see the chickens again too. I wondered if you make your crust gluten free Bea? I am a gluten and dairy free and think I'd like to try making a crust. What difference to my asthma and well being to eliminate those from my diet.

[@lindayaya59]

So glad your feeling better. Apples look good. Now our videos seem real. Love to you all.💚🐕😻

[@jacquelinejeffs4079]

It is so wonderful to see you back Bea we have missed you so much I am so glad you are doing better

[@evepilcher2366]

Theo, you have done a fantastic job of flogging and working your guts out before going back to the uk, while Bea has been unavailable, and you deserve a medal, however it’s fantastic to see Bea back with the chickens too.

[@seaduster8347]

"Flogging" LOL!!

[@evepilcher2366]

Ha ha, I meant vlogging! 😃

[@virginianemith]

Thank you for giving us a 50% off on that very good knife. We ordered one. So glad you are back on your homestead. Your front porch is stunning. Love to both of you and your animals.

[@maririddel7082]

Hi from Tennessee, USA! So good to see your beautiful smiling face Bea! Y'all are a wonderful inspiration for everyone!

[@0HARE]

It’s such a joy spending some time with you folks. Welcome back, Bea! I love the positive energy you project. Theo, I’m looking forward to all the cool projects that you have in store! Your imagination and your energy are inspiring. The natural lifestyle you two are embracing and presenting is just what the world needs now. Thank You

[@KennethRayable]

Welcome back Bea. I have missed you on this side of the camera.

[@reneechampagne4081]

Can’t wait to see your garden grow! Ever heard of self-watering ollas? Simple, buried clay pots that seep water to the roots slowly and efficiently.

[@connierifenburg9758]

Oh my the door brings in so much light! Congratulations on a great choice for your new door. It has been so exciting to watch this whole plan of yours through each step! I wasn’t a follower of your van life, but I’ve been here since you came on the land. What a great life you will have thru each improvement.🤗👏🏻

[@deborahwhite2339]

Lots of things going on! Great ideas are being formulated. It's great to see Bee back and the Chickies are back as well. It all looking so good.

[@WildCosy]

It'll be so interesting to see you and Bea developing a garden there, I think you could really make something amazing!!

[@linw7320]

I think they already have! Knew there was no stopping them too! Extreme high achievers! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💯

[@teresamoore3577]

Bea you have such a beautiful smile so great to see you talking to us, lovely to see the chickens running around again. Its also good to see the cat’s having their freedom especially Fernando,sending you both love and prayers always, please keep safe xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@sophialewis5642]

It doesn’t get old seeing you both back and smiling, stay well!

[@joanneforrest1830]

Totally forgot about a Wednesday video and was delighted when the notification popped up. I cannot wait to see the wall being pointed and then getting the flooring down. So glad you guys are back at home. Xx

[@erikvanaart708]

Had tears in my eyes seeing Bea smiling and talking to us. Thank you so much. Lots of love from Budapest!

[@kathleendrummond1360]

your little home is going to look so great I can't hardly wait to see it finished you both are doing a great job. Love from Florida USA

[@lemmonjeepgrl]

You’ll probably be done pointing By the time you read this but I like to fill a plastic bag with mortar, cut the corner and use it like a pastry bag. Using a high mill bag that sand or mulch comes in works well. You’ve done so much already you have a good method down. Hey plug in the freezer to make sure it’s dead, ya never know. Place is looking great.

[@final_or]

Delicious fruit and veggies :D One tip: Always cut on wooden or plastic boards, then the knife will stay sharp longer. Cutting on ceramics, stoneware or glass will cause the edge of the knife to roll over and effectively dull the blade fairly quickly. Keep up the great content!

[@lesliemcfarlane783]

Glad to see you both back and happy. Bea, gardening is so therapeutic. I love growing and eating my veg. through the summer. All the best

[@elisabethe8055]

So nice to see you back Bee! Your laugh and big smiles! :) A garden, growing your own food, putting your hands in the dirt, there is really nothing like it. Well, eating your own grown food is the best of it! Question, am i imagining thing or does the oranges grow in the winter/spring? I have in the back of my mind that you picked some this spring? Thank you for sharing guys, so nice to see you working together again and looking so happy!

[@maryblair3618]

I've just gotten into gardening recently myself! I'm so excited for you both. Just make sure you get lots of sunshine throughout the day for your garden, you don't want it shaded. Good luck! I hope you have a stunning success and grow lots of wonderful food! Take care and God bless! ❤🙏❤

[@Galifrey88]

I am so glad to see more of you Bea, you have surely been missed x

[@lmwaters9617]

Terrific to see Bea's brilliant smile again. Glad you all are back on the property. Looking forward to seeing your videos full of new stuff. :D

[@monz1978]

Never thought I'd say this, but... I've missed the Bea-roll of the chickens :D Welcome back Bea, you've been missed.

[@synnvereitan5933]

Bee is so sweet and lovely!! Seeing her talking about picking apples really made my day so much better!!!❤️❤️

[@connierifenburg9758]

I just love Fernando! He makes me laugh all the time. You couldn’t have hired a clown that would entertain you as much. If ever Fernando needs a naughty friend, I have a cat named Frank that is ready willing and able🙀😺they are about the same age. The rescue told me he was a teenager. That should tell you a lot!

[@lilianalepore5342]

Ooh you're going to have fun cultivating your own veggies! I started a couple of years ago. Clever idea for watering! What about the olive trees? Don't neglect them. Olive oil is precious and so healthy! I live in southern Italy and we have similar climate and vegetation. What about an aluminium shed for storing all your building materials etc. Wishing you all the very best for all you do. You're a great team and work so hard. A big hug to Bea x

[@brendariley8982]

I'm so excited for the day when you- can all the fruits and veg from the property. Canned Apple Sauce is amazing and fun, homemade. Great gifts for your neighbors' for Christmas.

[@heleneschofield3386]

You need to water bath or have a canner for applesauce, it ferments quite easily unless refrigerated

[@onemorchatykathy]

Awwwwww it was a breath of fresh air to see and hear Bea talk and laugh to us again. And the bounce in her personality is what I’ve missed! Still Theo has done a wonderful job keeping us updated with everything the last couple of months. Your video’s are amazing.

[@slowalaskan]

Lovely to see you Bee. Glad Furrnando did not whack you with that door. When Theo was talking about a workshop I wondered what happened to the horse trailer? I thought that was your workshop storage.

[@MsCdngrrl]

I'm so happy to see you back Bee. You looked of pure joy holding your chicken. I hope the land, what you've learned whilst away and Theo's love keeps you in fine form. Hugest of hugs to the both of you. You are definitely part of my heart after this difficult summer.

[@kimpeasester]

ABSOLUTELY brilliant idea for that freezer!
