Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

In this video we are showing you some of the food we have been harvesting lately both from our own homestead and in shared community harvests with friends. Last year I only grew a few pumpkins and some green beans because I didn't have reliable water, so this is the first year I've really been growing food. As you will see in the video, some stuff grew almost too heavy to carry and some stuff... well, it's all just an experiment anyway!

I simply cannot believe how much your garden produced. It's AMAZING. I've been gardening longer than you've been alive and you win, hands down. I can only wish for a garden like yours AND I DO.

Hi Harriet! The ginormous zucchini are hilarious, the almond harvest looks fun and satisfying, and the grapes look luscious. The most wonderful aspect is the cooperative work, helping neighbors and inviting them to help you. The second most wonderful is that nothing goes to waste; if you can't eat it, the animals can!

For the struggling trees, in the fall, dig a trench around the tree and put some of the chicken or other kind of manure in the trench and cover the manure with some soil. Water it if you can or let nature take its course. It will make a huge difference. Also consider selling the almonds green and fresh in the spring. We pay premium here for green almonds here in Canada. They arrive by plane from middle East, Spain and California and they are very yummy. We pay around $12/kg sometimes more.

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the tip! Do you think the manure should be composted first? We pay about €13/kg here too which is crazy as they are all harvested locally!

@Wiseguy63 Жыл бұрын

No not the manure. Let the plant get the raw benefit of breaking it . The little trench will act as a mini compost, and manure does not take much to break down and give top benefit. Goat manure is better and safer than chicken manure. You are very welcome. I love soaking green almonds in water in the fridge and let them chill, and dip them in a bit of salt and enjoy being them super crunchy and yummy... That fresh Then I love them again when the inside is turning solid and white, and peel and eat with a drink. Amazing how much nature can offer us.

I can even understand the size of these courgette haha they were so huge!! The plum tree reminded me of my grandfather, who had his own orchard. He always cut the high branches of the fruit trees so that he could pick the fruit with his hands (at most using a ladder). So nice to see all your weekly updates

This summer’s drought has been terrible, even here in Soria. Today we met a farmer who has horses pastured in a high (~ 1400m) meadow filled with ancient oaks. He was putting out hay because there’s no grass and said this is the first year he’s had to do that - ever - and he was well on in years. He also said that the ciervos, which we don’t ordinarily see down at 1100m, have come down from the forests and eaten much of the wheat in the fields. (So now I know why there’s been so much more deer poo than usual on dog walks in the fields.) It’s easy to believe the dire predictions about the desertification of Spain.

There is an easier way to shell dry beans or peas if you don't care a lot about them all being whole. Just get a cloth towel and put the beans on it and go over it with a rolling pin winnow out the shell and you'll save a lot of work. Just found your channel the other day love watching the farm come back to productivity.

Yes, corn demands a fair amount of soil nutrients and water to grow as well tomatoes due to most of the fruit mostly consisting of water. If you mulch heavily around plants with wood chips. They slow soil evaporation and turn into a moisture sponge layer as they decompose.

@HolJaci Жыл бұрын

bear in mind that wood chips extract nitrogen from the soil as they decompose... so be sure to add compost or manure!

Love your videos! About the sunflowers; I saw that you can eat them like you'd eat a corn cob! When the flowers are just done and start to wilt, pick them and take off the petals. Then oil the seed heads and grill them a bit, face down. Cut into quarters. Then, apparently, you can munch the seeds off like you would with a cob of fresh corn. I thought I'd share that because it seems so delicious 🤤

Great harvest and video. A little trick when I was young spending time and my aunt and uncle's farm we'd pick the dried climbing beans put them in a large jute bag. Hang them from a clothesline and beat it with a broom that saved a lot of time shelling the beans one by one. Probably work for your chickpeas also.

@ishavidafarm Жыл бұрын

The thermomix has a reverse function, which means that the back of the blade hits the seed. So it doesn't get cut or blended but knocked. I used that for many things, you can also de-seed pomegranate with it. May work for you too. By the way love the way you put your videos together, so beautiful.

Plums are one of my favourite fruits. I've been eating a bowl of oatmeal with some chopped for like a month, making the most out of plum season while it's here. Of course they're store bought, I don't have a tree, but they're still good :D They are also very good for baking unlike the round plums, they gain taste when baked, and become gooey goodness. I can recommend making a yeast streusel with halves of them placed generously and with nice crumble on top.

@ClissaT Жыл бұрын

I was very impressed with all the help you gave neighbours and the sharing of crops. As for the sunflower seeds, nature has made them difficult because you shouldn't eat very many. They are a treat. And animals should not eat too many either. So yes, they will be hard to extract. But you put a big handful in your pocket and them, a few at a time, as you work. Our bodies can only work with under a teaspoon of such oil in a 3hr period and the handful will last you all day. They are highly nutritious so you don't need many. Unfortunately extracting oil from them is a pain but rolling with wooden roller on a concave rock is the way to break them apart from their shells. So don't feel bad about the sunflower seed being hard to extract. They are power-packed and you only need a few. Have great day. I wish I could grow such fantastic fruit and veg. My place is archaic in fertility, nothing grows. No amount of water will produce fruit and veg.

Just think, the old timers never had any nets, no Sthil. They were picking Almonds, Olives etc by hand and they left nothing, leaping over bancal walls to fetch the strays. I am for sure they would scream at how we work today Lovely video you guys Next year or ahead of any planting, you might investigate JADAM soil treatments. You can collect material locally for this. It really helps condition the soil for seeds, the potatoes will help this too.

Que bonito es recoger vuestra propia cosecha, en casa de mis abuelos siempre hemos tenido almendras y teníamos muchos sacos de almendras y lo que hacíamos para pelarlas en echarlas encima de una mesa e ir pelando las, las almendras se echaban a un capazo y las cáscaras al suelo, así es más sencillo y rápido al no tener q separar en dos sitios distintos. Luego se barría y listo. Eso sí es importante que las extendais en algun sitio para que se sequen y no les salga moho. Y las pipas guardaros alguna torta para en invierno comerlas al lado de la lumbre como aperitivo. Animo que lo estáis haciendo muy bien.

A way of getting the corn seeds off, is to take it w both hands & than rotate it between your hands. If theyre dry enough they will come off easily. Always had to do it back when i was young & were visiting my grandma (moldava) hahah I learnd a lot of farm work from her! Side fact: if you give the chickens a lot of dried corn, the egg yolk ig going to get a lot more yellow & it also tastes better! A tip for sunflower seeds: you also have to dry the whole flower (till the seeds turn black) you can do that by leaving the head on the plant w a piece of seetrough cloth around it or you cut the head off and let then dry somewhere else, than the seeds will come off easier. If you wanna eat them right away as a snack you can cursh the shell with your teeth or 2 fingers. If not try putting them in a piece of cloth & gently push down & do circular movements. I hope you somehow can understand it hahah im from germany soo my english isnt that great.😅 Also i love your channel & the idea behind it! It really inspires me :))

Pro tip: buy a PVC pipe wide enough for the corn cob to fit in, drill a few screws into it so they face inside deep enough to catch the kernels. When you insert the cob, the screws are gonna loosen the kernels. That way, one cob takes a few seconds, instead of minutes when doing it by hand.

Fascinating to see all the various types of production - especially the wine! Our pumpkin harvest in northern Spain is smaller this year due to extreme heat + drought. A lot of plants suffered: stopped growing or died. However, we still got sunflowers, grapes, cherry tomatoes, peppers... We have found cherry tomatoes much, much more resilient than normal tomatoes plants - if you want seeds, let us know! This winter we will be starting to 'climate proof' our huerto for the extended extreme heat of next summer: namely more water channels and frames over the beds to create shade. We may experiment with wick beds too. I admire your work and dedication to harvesting the fiddly things like corn and chickpeas. I bet all your harvest tastes absolutely delicious and is well worth the time + effort you take. Also, thanks for sharing your last video about your 1 year journey - amazing to see the house + living set up. Similar to our - we don't have the 'cedular de habitabiliad' yet, so it's electric cables and cold water only for another winter. Funny, but you do get used to it! 😀

Amaranth is something we saw a lot of back home, but since they sorta spread like wild fire no one really made it an intent to plant them, but rather just harvested them from around the village roads, hills, and back sides of the farming plots. So prevalent were they, that we boiled them all down as pig feed usually. Now in the USA though, we grow and buy them to eat which is sorta funny when we think about it. Anyway, they're great in soups, stalks, stems, roots, leaves, and their blooming grain bits. Just make sure to clean all the dirt, and the hearty stalks once boiled soft has a very soft fleshy and tasty center, but to get at it you have to peel the fibrous skin off is all. Usually just boil them with pork/pork bones, dried scallops, some smashed chunks of ginger, a pinch of salt to taste and boil for about an hour and you're set. :)

Did you try feeding your goats the green hulks on the almonds? Horses and cattle love them and they are very nutritious for them. Once the husks are off the shells of the almonds I hope you spread them out to dry as they will mold with all that moisture on them. I roll my fingers in masking tape to husk my almonds and when it wears out just put new tape on. This sure reduces the small cuts that the almonds create and no more sore fingers.
