What a week in Portugal! Organic Vegetable Harvest, Wine Harvesting & Wildfires!

[@BaileysHomestead]

As some of you may have saw on other channels, our friend Diogo, who is so passionate about beekeeping, sadly lost two apiaries during the fire. We are so sorry for all that local people have lost during the fire 😢 You can find out more and support Diogo here: gofund.me/37cd76c3

[@dorasilva-p3r]

Glad both of you and Bailey are safe. 🙂What a good harvest🐕

[@rhondag9700]

Saw Badger and Kayla from Scotters off Grid in the background of your video grape harvesting. Lovely time you all had, then such devastation. So terribly sad.

[@lesleyturner1025]

So glad yous are safe ❤Heartbreaking that so many people across Northern and Cental Portugal have lost lives, property and livelihoods 😪 My heart goes out to them all ❤ Well done on your successful garden crops 👏👏💗

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Glad you’re all safe, and really nice seeing you helping out with the grape harvest 😊😊

[@almamartinez-quagliata439]

Sending prayers for all Portugal,

[@heathermorrison938]

First of all, thank goodness you are all ok. Wow, green fingers. You must be so proud of what you have harvest with no pestering. Keep safe.

[@BaileysHomestead]

We are pretty proud 😁💚

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

So glad your safe, n my heart goes out to the families n firefighters who lost their lives n farms. I live in Canada n we also have lost towns n villages. People uprooted to other places to start new lives. It’s hard. On a happier note, your sun dried tomatoes look delicious ❤

[@stephaniepelc1618]

Happy to hear that you’re all safe. The fires are devastating. My heart goes out to everyone affected, especially those that lost their lives😢. It’s a sad time for Portugal, but they will recover😔

[@DarkHorseDaze]

Wow, what a great harvest 😎 Dani's melons 🍉😄 and Will's carrot 🥕🤣 Dreadful fire's🔥😢 Stay safe and try not to inhale too much smoke! 😮‍💨😷...🤗

[@mgh4400]

Nice, to have a community where everyone is helping harvesting grapes 😀

[@BaileysHomestead]

Absolutely!

[@mm.6991]

Glad you are safe 🙏 Your veggie garden was very productive, congratulations. I loved seeing the grape harvest. Have a very good week 👍😘😍

[@BaileysHomestead]

The whole atmosphere at the grape harvest was wonderful 🥰

[@followeroftheway9861]

You are a very sweet couple. I’m so very sorry about all the fires that we hear of in Portugal. God bless you. I’m wishing a wonderful week.😊

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thank you so much! Take care 💚

[@pammcfarland1727]

Those fires are devastating for many people in Portugal 😢. Happy you are ok❤

[@patriciabrawner3717]

Just finished watching your video, so sorry for everyone’s loss. Sending prayers & praying y’all get rain. Stay safe & have a blessed week.

[@SusanFreeborn-km2ry]

Thank you for your video. It's really nice to see your harvest and what you do with it. I'm glad you guys and your property are OK. Prayers sent for you and your neighbors.

[@BaileysHomestead]

💚

[@Pauline-m9m]

I’m glad that you are both safe and hopefully the worst is now over. It’s really upsetting for those affected by the fires and I wish them nothing but good times ahead. Your harvest was absolutely fantastic as was the sauce and sun dried tomatoes. Well done to you both, and take very good care of yourselves amid this dangerous fire situation. Pauline

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thanks so much Pauline 😊💚

[@cathhumphreys3113]

So glad to see that you're all safe and well. The fires look terrifying my heart goes out to all your neighbours who have been affected.

[@marianela111]

Watching your channel gives me joy. Thank you, and keep safe.😃🌻🐈🇬🇧

[@R1chiesART]

Great community spirit and you all working together. Singing and festive even with the added threat around you all. I watch The Scotters on here too and thought I saw Badger and his wife. There video was from that same vineyard with that smoke around them. Their property came within 800 meters of being caught in the fires but all the community worked tirelessly together for a few days to prevent it spreading. Worrying times but the Portuguese sing through it. Stay safe and wonderful harvest.

[@BaileysHomestead]

The community spirit is wonderful 🥰 everyone gets through it together ❤️

[@lesleytaylor1986]

So glad your safe and sound. Love how you are harvesting such wonderful veggies. Your both very lucky to be in such a beautiful part of Portugal. The north is so amazing. We have lived in Porto for 5 yrs and for the foreseeable lol Stay safe and happy. Life is good here ☮️💟

[@BaileysHomestead]

You're right, it's so lovely here 💚 hope Porto is treating you well 😊

[@mariacoelho6153]

Congratulations . Good job to help the people and amanzing vegetables. Portugal is nice country to live. I hope you continue safe !

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thank you! 😃 take care 💚

[@suesavage9278]

Glad you both are safe take care 😊

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Well done on your garden produce looks amazing and there is nothing like growing your own well done. 😊

[@jrh2u]

You should be proud of your harvest. It all looks lovely. Congratulations.

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thank you!

[@mariliaamaral4921]

Pleased you are all safe and is over now. Love to see you harvesting the grapes in your community so beautiful.

[@BaileysHomestead]

It was a really lovely few days 😊

[@marlasmitherman799]

Amazing work with garden! Please keep yourselves safe

[@the44life]

Plentiful harvest there. Seeing your worried faces and nervous smiles about the fires brings it all home. I'm from a fairly close area to yous and it was scary. The ash and smell was something else. Keep safe and producing great content

[@BaileysHomestead]

Take care 💚💚

[@franziskabertram3286]

It's wonderful to see that the Portuguese welcome you so openly into their traditions. And that you two are open to this experience as well and make time for it. A thought because of the fire: From the newbys we've heard that many bee keepers in your area lost their hive or the pasture for their bees to forage and survive the winter. You have a quite large area. If one of those bee keepers lives nearby, you could offer your place for hives?

[@BaileysHomestead]

Of course, the traditions here are so wonderful 😊💚 Yes we have offered the space if Diogo needs it, may be before next Spring

[@colleenpittenger6223]

Praying for you, the people and land of Portugal.

[@BaileysHomestead]

💚

[@angelicapadro8433]

So happy to see you haven’t been directly affected by the fires. Congrats on all your delicious produce. Love you both and your talents. Lots of love from Florida.

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thank you so much! Sending love back 💚

[@christurner4994]

Here in Crete we've had no rain since April so the risk of fires has been high all summer. Apart from some relatively small fires the island has escaped serious damage. Everyone was forced to clear all their land of brush before and i think it's made a big difference. Like someone else mentioned get rid of the mimosa in the winter and make some sort of fire break. Loving the videos !

[@BaileysHomestead]

That's great Crete has managed to remain without any big fires. Yes, more work to do this winter around the land

[@Hawksnest1976]

I thought I couldn’t find you guys again. I’ve been looking through the channels I’ve been following and I haven’t been able to find you. Thanks for doing another video so I can find you.

[@BaileysHomestead]

Welcome back! 😊

[@peterdonecker6924]

Glad you stay safe. I guess it makes sense to work on the forrestal part of your property to clean it up in winter and by doing so reduce the risk. And if you have a lot of Mimosas, try to get rid of them, as they burn really fast. Have a beautiful Sunday over there. 😊😊

[@BaileysHomestead]

Definitely, this is the plan 😊 thankfully, mimosas are one problem we don't have on our land

[@portugaldreamzzz920]

Nice Harvest! ❤

[@jeanettenicholas2863]

What a lot of veg you done really well. I managed to get three runner beans still got alot of flowers on them. Weather been really bad here in England.

[@BaileysHomestead]

Ah we do have weather on our side here 😊 shame the British summer has been nonexistent

[@hildamoll1]

Best wishes and stay safe, regards from Montagu, Western Cape, South Africa❤

[@BaileysHomestead]

Have a great week Hilda 😊💚

[@bohammarberg4072]

Good morning !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@pompeymik]

Stay safe beautiful people, bailey found a spot to stay cool❤ beautiful harvest, I fancy sun-dried tomatoes now lol, lovely video as usual, I hope you got the rain that was promised. Good luck 🤞🏼 ❤

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys 🙏 good to see you guys are safe 😊💕 beautiful veggies from the garden good work 👍😁

[@darbylongoria8737]

Glad to see you're safe.

[@kindle7191]

Hi D&W, I understand the wildfire scares. We have a horrible time in B.C. with fire season. Be safe.

[@BaileysHomestead]

Thanks Kindle, Take care 💚

[@jampotts5730]

scary times with the fires all around, seems to happen too often. Might be worth looking into making a solar dehydrator as you have such a great sunny spot on the property, They are basically a cupboard with mesh shelves and air is drawn in from the base at the front and exits at the top through the back, Very simple to construct, especially as one of you is a handy joiner

[@BaileysHomestead]

Nice idea 😊

[@csilviageo]

Que bom que estão bem. Foi muito tenso, vi também no canal dos Scotters. Que o Senhor abençoe sempre vocês.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏

[@BaileysHomestead]

💚💚

[@karengrice2303]

Your garden harvest was amazing. I will have to try your sun dried tomato strategy. Everything looked delicious! I am so sorry to hear about the wild fires there. I hope everyone survives and the land can be restored for those who were impacted. We have had several fires in our area from lightning this summer, but fortunately they were put out within a couple of days. Take care and enjoy all that yummy food! Thanks for sharing!❤

[@BaileysHomestead]

Fires can be very scary and this was our first real experience of it. Take care 💚💚

[@grahamalastairkrebs2241]

That long green squchs you can cut open and take the pips out and full it with mice meat mixed with cooked rice add onion and garlic and spices and cook it in the oven. So nice. 😛

[@BaileysHomestead]

Sounds yummy 😋

[@jopullin4602]

Stay safe and positive x

[@jackiesimmons5123]

Stay safe lads.

[@annettekaiser3117]

❤❤❤

[@georgepapastergiou9917]

Excellent Job guys!

[@louisevereker5370]

You two are so cute love your channel…❤

the land is rich, yes. if treated right, of course- preserve both! land and tomatoes.

[@jackchevalier8105]

Stay safe!

[@damdekmyhomeដំដែកផ្ទះខ្ញុំ]

Very nice

[@Warnz60]

Well done on that superb crop of veggies. Those fires looked so scary, even worse when you know they were started by humans. I hope they throw the book at the 12 arrested, whatever were their motives?

[@LynnBoergermann]

We love to make salsa to eat with tortilla chips!

[@mgh4400]

Hi, what an abundance of vegetables 😋, May I ask, I saw that you have some dried figs. How did you do it ?

[@BaileysHomestead]

We dried them in a dehydrator 😊💚

[@paulacunha6792]

😢😢❤❤

[@william6526]

Hopefully the winds will continue to blow the fire away from your home. In Oregon usa where we live we have had a record fire season with up to 1000 fires burning around our state thats covered in old douglas fir trees 150 feet tall and 5 foot through. We are known for our high mountains covered in lush forests. Some of these fires have been burning for 3 months and are still burning out of control. 3 of the fires have grown to over 150,000 acres a piece and the only thing thats going to stop them is when the winter rains come in november. We had a very hot dry summer and the last rain we had was in may and the temperatures have been in the 80s an 90s for months and a couple weeks we got up to 105 degrees which is unheard of in Oregon. I never believed in global warming until this year and its obvious something is very wrong with our weather.

[@BaileysHomestead]

This sounds horrible in Oregon, sad to see the beautiful mountainsides burned. Take care 💚

[@mgh4400]

Are you doing something special to prevent fire to your homestead ? Sprinkles, water barriers, etc ? ....

[@BaileysHomestead]

We've been doing little things but a lot of work to do now this winter

[@jeanmeyer8194]

Not thinking of tomato jam

[@Cathy-ty3fp]

U need netting to stop flys and bugs getting on the tomatoes

[@BaileysHomestead]

The salt seemed to keep them away

[@josiebriggs4922]

Glad you are all safe - it’s so sad x - sorry if I missed you telling us Dani, but I just wondered where you go and what you do for work?

[@Miranda-k2u4s]

Scary days...
