I noticed you do no have yt tags on your videos. With tags people find you on KZitem so much easier and view count will go up. Tags for this video could be: Good food, vegies, vegie garden, Off grid, off grid living, dinner, dinner preparation, Portugal off grid, Portugal, hunting dog, family off grid, Bluetti, Bluetti off grid, homestead, Portugal homestead, walk, work in garden, garden work, walking and so on. Then there are search engines, you can do the same with search engines. You get the idea 😁 Our chickens live beyond 5 years mark. We don't do any stress on them and our roster is nice to them and kids. We did bought 20 white chickens for food (one can be of excess of 5kg++).

If u look at attic 24 u will see someone who has repeated the year and making blankets again and again. Just different colours and stitches. You will not be talking to the same people.

Researching I found that amaranth has the same amino acid as rice, that is missing in beans to make a whole protein, so even a little may be of value because of that. Sesame seed also has that methionine. they are a sulfur protein.

Fajitas are good with peppers. Roast them to add to hummus. I'm getting hungry now!

Hi Lea nice to see you're all oky. I love that plant or vegetable that you was talking about in the beginning, it's the most beautiful color, like purple? Would like some of that seeds to see if it will grow here. Would love a video of it definitely and to see how you eat it. As you can see we don't know that kind of plant or veggies. I always take all my peppers, crockette, chillies, unions tamatoes etc, cut it in little blocks, wash it and put it in little baggs and freeze it to use in winter time. I also took out all our plants in the garden, just left the beautiful one's. And plant a lot of vegetables all over our garden. So now we have a big veggie garden.😄. Hard work but yes health is better than anything. I love the path that you have walked, the views are stunning. Wish you're knew home is done already because I think the views will be breathtaking. Specially if you're going to have big windows for the views. Thank you for the video. Take care greetings from Melinda from South-Africa💞🙋🏻♀️

Wat ik uit de video nou niet helemaal meekreeg over de Amaranth is: zijn die zaadjes altijd zo klein en wist je dat niet en viel het daarom tegen? Of zijn ze "bij anderen" veel groter en viel het door lokale omstandigheden bij jullie tegen? Ik vermoed dat je gewoon een flink veld zult moeten aanleggen, maar ja dan wordt het oogsten natuurlijk wel een dingetje. Er is uiteindelijk wel een reden waarom "het grote geld" ook grotere tractoren t/m combines etc. heeft uitgevonden. Klein prutsen is leuk, maar dan blijft het hobbyen en het wordt dan niet snel 'self sustainable'. Denk toch meer inzetten op allerlei verschillende calorie-dense items. Een veld vol van hetzelfde zaad (i.c. Amaranth) blijft ook een enorm risico.

I'm trying to get amaranth developed for my area as well. The advantage to amaranth is that it can be grown for beauty and pollinator food. If we get enough to make a food treat, even better! WRT growing any grains as a homestead staple, my research suggests it's pointless. roots, leaves, and fruits produce WAY MORE food than grains. I think humans have grains as a staple because we developed our societies in grasslands where grains could be easily foraged in the vast emptiness of nature.
