[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

Hooray for fencing and tunnels! Yes, Gee can now plant her cucumbers and tomato plants🍅🥒🎉 I love seeing the chickens running to eat all the bugs as Gee tills the garden beds. 🐔🐤 I have recommended to several other young people there in Portugal, who are making their homes there, to watch you guys and see all the hard work you two put into making your farm prosper, especially Gee's gardening techniques. And when Andrius was using the tractor to turn over the soil the chickens where right there picking up all they could eat. Happy healthy chickens.🐓🐔🐤 Sending hugs and love🤗💝 your way ~ Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾 Take good care of yourselves you lovely couple and Guffy, too!🐶🐱

[@portugalitis]

[@WriterGeek]

Lying in a hammock in the evening sun with a beer, after a hard day's work, is the best thing ever!

[@portugalitis]

Good that that's just happens once in a blue moon :) :) just joking of course ;) Sometimes it's nice to relax and reflect Gxxx

[@paulinewilson613]

Love watching you two work together, your vegetable garden will now be chicken proof, the tunnels are great too xx

Congratulations you 2 on Olivia‘s rebirth! It will be interesting to see how many years it will take for her to fruit. ❤❤❤Lynn and Wayne 🇦🇺

[@portugalitis]

Fingers crossed! it wont take long ... maybe 3-4 years? I just hope she will survive .. but we will water her in a summer we are very happy she still with us ;)

[@Liz-uq1ec]

Loved seeing you both in hammocks, relaxing after a very busy but productive day.. laughed when you said to Andrius 'you turn the camera off'!! - last thing we see is you swinging your legs out!! 😆💜

[@portugalitis]

Thank you for watching us on your holiday LOL ;) See you later on !!!! xxxx

[@eldrinod]

All the speeded up hammering made me laugh because it reminded me of the way Benny Hill used to pat the old bald man on the head😁😂

[@jeanettefrancis6473]

I think the fast forward footage looks so funny, good funny. Great progress and I will use the tunnel idea myself. Can put plastic or shade cloth or just use as a climbing frame. good low cost project.

[@portugalitis]

Cha cha .. I loved watching Benny Hill so funny .. that is Great compliment ;) xxx G

[@portugalitis]

Definitely exited about the tunnel !!! Today we will build 7 matter one ... YEY ;)

[@juliad1768]

Looking forward to seeing the tunnel all planted up, love your hammock area cheers you hard working couple xxx

[@portugalitis]

[@clvskl5058]

Great video you two , careful on the Sagres will make your hair fall out 😂😂😂Clive

[@portugalitis]

Thanks for the tip... I usually have just one ... Andrius as you can see haves more that more ;)

[@leannekudahl2432]

I love your senses of humour guys. Such hard workers; enjoy your beers :)

[@portugalitis]

Thank you Leanne :) xxx G

[@RuthKrippner]

G…your garden is going to give you abundance as you give it such love…..great job,

再投稿かもしれませんが。重い岩の石材を動かす方法が　Raising Voyagers　natural spring にありました。ポールを組み立てて小型の電動クレーンでうごかすことができます。これからの石の壁や おそらく屋根のセメントを流すときのもやくだつのではないでしょうか。

[@portugalitis]

:)

[@hollylamey-uh4kn]

Big fat grin on my face...very happy for you guys

[@karenwoodall497]

Can't wait to see all the tunnels up and the veg growing. Veg always tastes better when you have grown it yourself. What better way than sitting in a hammock with a beer and watching the sun go down. You're so lucky. Until the next time. Take care of each other.❤

[@portugalitis]

So true! I think I bought tomatoes just once in the shop ... just don't want to do it as they don't taste good .. better eat what you grow :)

[@myrah1600]

All that in 1 day - wow. Your hard work is clear to see and will surely pay off in the amount of produce that you get. 👏👏

[@portugalitis]

Hope so! Sunday we usually ending up working the most .. not sure why ..

[@elisabethnejedly9684]

Gardening must be hard work but so rewarding. Great to see you have some help. God bless.❤️🙏

[@portugalitis]

Thank you very much :)

[@AnitaBotbyl]

Give the guys a break! Although we would love to be entertained, they have to garden and cook😜

[@portugalitis]

;) Thank you .. we just sharing our day to day life ;) what we do we show you .. hopefully when garden is planted we will go build the kitchen !!!! yey

[@rosemaryjasper1121]

Great progress in the veggie garden, well done Gina! Your produce so romp away once it gets into the ground. It’s had a wonderful start in the greenhouse! Nothing quite like the sense of achievement when you can sit down and eat your own home grown veggies! You know exactly what’s gone on them, no nasty unknown chemicals. Think it was the right idea to actually fence off the whole growing area. Chickens can cause devastation in a veggie patch! At the start of the video there was some beautiful bird song, and was that orange blossom we saw as well? ❤

[@portugalitis]

Thank you for your lovely comment :) Not sure if read my replies .. but my name is not Gina it's Giedre ... :) It was the orange blossom and you are so right the best feeling ever is to eat your own vegetables and fruits .. nothing beats that :) Thank you and see you on the next one xxx G

[@tinanieborg787]

good job guys, its getting better and better

[@portugalitis]

Thank you Tina !!! :) I am very happy I can finally can plant my garden !!!!!

[@AhaAha-n4g]

Hahaha😀👍Vilken underbar dag Att få avsluta med en kall öl i hängmattan, underbart! Ha en fin dag och jag väntar med spänning på nästa video!👍 Hälsning från Sverige

[@portugalitis]

Thank you :)

[@fisch69]

I think if you feed your fish some bugs and earthworms every day you will see some good growth results !!!🐠🐠🎣❤

[@portugalitis]

They will eat better that us then ;)

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Nice tidy up and the garden looks lovely and ready for planting well done.😊😊😊

[@portugalitis]

Thank you !!! Very exited about that :) G xxx

[@busybeaver793]

It is always a treat when you post a video. It is like receiving a surprise package in the mail. I had forgotten about the fish. Did they help keep the algae from developing in the tank? I always like the look of a freshly turned field. So much growing potential for the garden.

[@portugalitis]

Good morning :) what a lovely comment as always !!! Fish are good ..they eat mosquitos and fly's that's about it ... And YES !!! for the garden .. very exited :) GG

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Nice job you 2 . Hard work but so satisfying. ❤

[@portugalitis]

Thank you! 🤗

[@shanebrownrigg8632]

[@assuncaomeireles198]

Olá casal maravilha senhor Andrew e Gi adorei o seu vidio como sempre. Entao senhor Andrew desistiu de construir a cozinha para a Gi? Eu acho que o senhor Andrew podia fazer so a primeira parede de pedra e a restante parede de tijolos cinzentos para ser mais fâcil claro está é só uma sugestao. Obrigado e boa semana👍👍👍 God bless you both 🙏🙏

[@portugalitis]

Hello !!! How kind of you :) We will start works on kitchen as soon as we finished the garden !!!

[@nomchenikoloski7729]

❤❤❤😊

[@portugalitis]

Good morning !!!! ;)

[@lorrainewoodcock520]

Looks like the tunnels will get some shade good for.your cucumbers 😊

[@portugalitis]

If they will survive till that .. they don't look that good as a green house cucumbers ... will see ... this year it is so different from last year .. just to cold :( and Cucumbers loves warmth

[@teresamason5155]

Hello, what are you doing with the catfish? Did I miss something?❤😂

[@portugalitis]

:) Andrius got them from his fishing trip last year and we just let them out in the tank .. to see if they will survive .. he just always wanted to have fish ... :) :) it's just pets I would say xxx

[@dragonflysdiscoveries7567]

Are those empty silver wine bags hanging there to remind you to drink some more? Or maybe not to drink as much next time? Great video kids. Can we see more of the fishing please?

[@portugalitis]

A good joke ... ;) We didn't displayed yet how many of them we got ... we have a collection of them ;) I am sure Andrius will go fishing soon ... just need's to get a bit warmer .... :)

[@Rick-hz9cw]

In the US pvc pipe is used a lot in tunnels

[@portugalitis]

I think it is a good idea to use it ;)

[@corinnetonelli489]

Cheers! A great video, so envious of your land! Due to a horrid monster in me I cannot grow veg this year,however after my op I am going to grow in pots… I can watch your garden grow and grow… Until your next video….

[@portugalitis]

Thank you and I will make sure we will show as much garden as we can ;) (well If Andrius will let me ..cha cha ) I love gardening I wish you speedy recovery and successful op .. I had a minster growing in my 9 years ago !!! but everything is good now you just need to believe it and think positive xxx sending that to you, Giedre

[@corinnetonelli489]

Thankyou Giedre, I try to be positive . I am going through a separation too, house move if op is ok. Cannot put an offer on the house yet, but will do, need to move to start my new life. Keep those garden videos coming , I love gardening. My next house I may take will have a little but of land I can grow veg in next year. But this year enjoy what I have and an do. Xx

[@portugalitis]

What a beautiful future you got in mind !!!! It will be perfect little house .. big garden ;) Just take it easy and keep focussing on YOURSELF xxx and will make sure will show you gardening videos ... spoiler alert more of them coming on the next one ... I know some people love to see us building kitchen but garden comes first as that's where we will get our food ... :) Keep smiling and writing I will wait for your messages and updates xxx G

[@corinnetonelli489]

At the moment I sit and crochet after I have done duties in the house . I very tidy person.i love cardmaking , and colouring . Now it’s crochet … Bought lots of wool to start new projects in my new house once I am able to get about and choose my house. Made a cold frame yesterday, so my babies are warm and dry . Not as many plants but something to take with me to grow every year in the new garden. Garden comes before building for sure, once done you can build . Have a great day putting your plants in the soil, give you more room in the poly tunnel. C xx

[@portugalitis]

My poly tunnel feels so empty now ... no tomatoes :) :) as they moved out it's good you keep yourself busy and by the looks of it you got your self sorted ;) I am sure you are amazing at crochet !!! xxx G

[@gracedossantos2136]

Did you purchase the hammocks here in Portugal 🇵🇹 🎉

[@portugalitis]

We bought them in Uk but We seen last year that leroy merlin sells them here in PT and they are very similar

[@peterclewes7073]

great job, look forward to seeing what you put in the tunnal. like the beer in the hamark after a hard days work........................

[@portugalitis]

so exited about my garden ... can't wait to share it xxx g

[@charlenequinilty7252]

Why are you keeping fish in irrigation tank?

[@portugalitis]

So when Andrius won't have anything to eat he can catch and eat it ... I am only joking .. He caught them last year and we just left them in irrigation tank so he can see if they would survive .. :) One day we will let them free xxx

[@manuelplacido1634]

Ola friends question your neighbors place sell yet your place looking good

[@portugalitis]

Hello !! I think they had an offer .. so not sure

[@portugal1969]

❤

[@portugalitis]

Dito xxx

[@grahamalastairkrebs2241]

I see you got roof tiles delivered, but nothing else done with the building of the kitchen and takeing of the old roof????? Just gardening and cooking????

[@portugalitis]

And cleaning chicken coop , . and washing the dishes .. and washing clothes .. emptying the compost toilet .. weeding .. watering green house and my plants .. feeding cats .. dogs .. chickens ... we do loads of things and yes we will go back building the kitchen but we just two .. and we just can't do everything at once I am afraid ..

[@davidstoddard9160]

I enjoy watching your dog Gus, but that barking everytime the tractor is started he goes nuts barking and chases the tractor. That would not be ok with most people, and I worry that he will get run over some day, if even by accident would be terrible.

[@portugalitis]

I am sure this won't happen ... he is clever boy ;) Thank you for watching us
