We are leaving the fjord cabin (Buying a farm in Norway)

[@Anonymous-oq6zf]

Congratulations... you bought the farm.

[@tilldaling]

Thank you mate :)

Apples are often grafted, because you dont know what type of apple you get when you grow it from seed. You can buy very small grafted trees which shouldnt be too expensive...

[@tilldaling]

I assume there might be some charm in not knowing what you're getting into :) Sadly in Norway everything is ridiculously priced :D

[@JDBees37]

​@@tilldalingthe rootstock is often suited to local soil conditions and may be dwarfed so that the trees don't get too big. The roots from the fruiting wood may not be tolerant to local diseases, hence the grafting.

So glad I went and watch the whole journey. So glad you found a place. I'm excited to see the farm 😃

[@tilldaling]

It's a pretty cosy place :)

[@MDobri-sy1ce]

Till I need more of your ASMR, Day in the life, at the cabin, wildlife, hiking and cozy videos in my life lol!

[@tilldaling]

Soon hopefully! It has been quite a journey with moving in the last week :) I'll give my best after Easter :)

You are an inspiration. I have also moved to Norway with dreams of finding a place in nature. We are also in a fjord cabin waiting for our dream property. We are on the west coast in Stadlandet. Looking forward to videos of your new farm. Subbed.

[@tilldaling]

Thank you very much! This sounds at least like a great place to wait :) I'm sure your opportunity will come soon :)

[@stevenjohnson7086]

Very proud of you for NOT giving up on your dream! I’m inspired by your effort, impressed by your honest admissions and so I encourage you both to forge ahead. Your rewards will be based in honesty. No one can take that from you. 👍 By the way, I live in Central California which is an important agricultural empire. I know little of farming, however, but I have leaned a few things. I would like to share with you something you may already know, but I’ll risk it anyway… It is often an agricultural practice to graft a particular crop tree onto a different root stock. Almonds, some walnuts and pistachios are done that way. You may look into how it works with the particular variety of apple you have selected. I think this is done because it has been found that a particularly favorable fruit actually has a weak or disease-prone root structure, but once grafted to a stronger root structure from perhaps a tree that has unfavorable fruit, the new hybrid tree performs very well.

Hello, Till. Nice to meet you in Mosjøen, by the river Eiteråga. Hope I see you again. :)

[@tilldaling]

Hei Bjørn! It was very nice to meet you too :) we still have the vistkjerringa passage open so we will probably be back this year 😊

[@kellihillebrand8341]

You are blessed to have so many beautiful wild animals and sea life right at your doorstep🌾 Excited for you guys on your new home adventure🤗 Best wishes and excited for more🥰

[@tilldaling]

It was a great place! Especially with the eagles ☺️ I'm looking forward what's to discover at the new farm :)

[@brimstoneclub]

Congrats sir!

[@tilldaling]

Thank you, Wilson 😊😊

[@greham]

Congrats mate!

[@greham]

Ho and neat trick for veggies in Norway: you can get eggplants that high up in the north, you have to graft your eggplant on a tomato plant.

[@tilldaling]

One more moving round in may and then the farm videos are coming :)

[@tilldaling]

I'll definitely keep that in mind if I can get the seedlings started! Thanks a lot !

[@MDobri-sy1ce]

Congrats Till!

[@tilldaling]

Thank you!!

Do you speak Norwegian or can you survive with English?

[@tilldaling]

I understand much but don't speak, so surviving with English :)

[@stevenjohnson7086]

Most all of Norwegian folks under the age of 35 seem to have a very good handle on English.

[@greham]

Since Till's German and has a very good command of English, I'm sure he will have no problem learning once he has the time. Vocabulary is very similar to German and grammar is basically English. Thing is, in the fjords, people usually speak really strong dialects. I've got some resources about "standard" Norwegian and for Nynorsk (the base for the dialects) if anyone needs anything.

[@tilldaling]

Very true! It's not too hard honestly 😊 time is the real issue. For the time being I have to prioritise making money over learning actively :)

[@tilldaling]

But damn if you go into the fjords along the west coast I do not understand a word!
