Just used your wish list
Hope it helps
Jerusalem artichoke are a natural insulin. Soupa. Nom nom. Save me a cutting. Please.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys.
Jerusalem Artichokes are nice raw with a squirt of lemon juice n pinch of salt. 😋
Hopefully everything will work out ok, good that you are staying positive, anything else is a waste of energy🤙☮
I planted 350 onions last year. Omg, I was drowning in onions 😂
Good luck with your appeal, keep faith
🤞
If off grid life came with a manual where would the learning be??? Keep pushing guys, it will be worth it. I noticed a few peeps on here mentioned worms which is a very good tip. Make a wormery with red worms on a slight tilt so when it rains you can collect the run off, black gold full of microbes to feed the soil. Good luck with the minister of foreign fiasco.
I hope you prevail. Lots of luck with your appeal. 🇨🇦🙂👍👍❤
Hope you get the visas soon, …. you deserve it 100%. good luck. love your Chanel.
Best of luck with the appeal. Take care and stay well. All the best. 👍🐾🐾😎
I missed the reason why the Visa was declined. Anyone chime in on that?
Thanks!
You guys shouldn't be referred to as "those weirdos" even in jest. You've been open and vulnerable and shown both sides to the journey and were super gracious to the few who weren't so believing in what you're achieving. Thank you for sharing your good news there'll be more of that I have no doubt. Portugal can clearly see that the Wildlands and your mission is exactly what the world needs right now. Definitely not weird you're the type of normal that's needed! Stay inspired ✨
I so hope you get your visa. Shits about to get a little bit heavier and It won't matter what side of the globe your on. Check out died suddenly it's worth the watch. Life is certainly a journey. Keep on smiling, that's the only way forward 👍
About Jerusalem artichoke:
Make them in the owen with garlic and oil or with potatoes in a gratin with cream.
You can leave some of them in the soil over the winter. Here in Sweden we just leave them and they can endure as low as – 25 grC. But, beware of the effect of the inulin that is in the fruit. Dont eat too much or too many otherwise you will get very fartish. 🥴
its looking beautiful your place. God bless
👍
Noooooooooo don't do it dom. Love watching your vids. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.
💕
I just leave the tubers in the ground now and they seem to be fine. You could always mulch the area if it was in a frost pocket. When I did dig them all up, I noticed that the Chinese variety sent out runners which would lead to another tuber deeper in the ground. The White Truffle variety seemed to be more localised to the base of the plant.
I've already said this in your other video and made a bet… you gonna get your visa soon and you owe me a beer.
Holding thumbs and have everything crossed for your appeal. Karma will prevail. Roast the artichokes slowly on your fire in foil until they go very soft, mushy & caramelised. Yummy!
I’ve got a very very good felling about your visa situation….you will get it…..the key was the Portuguese lawyer, I think…..great news, I’m so glad for you !
I only noticed now, you had your hair cut Dom…..🤣🤣🤣…much better fella 🤣🤣🤣
About Jerusalem artichoke: they are named "the forgotten vegetable". why ? when eating them you can have some gas build of, to avoid that, you must add a lot of milk in your water to reduce it.
Good for you for persevering fingers crossed for success. On the artichokes my mother grew then and they made a delicious filling soup. 🙏👌😋
Hi in the wildlands good luck with your visa application and appeal don’t give up.😊
I hope all good happens in your Visa
Agree with others on the Jerusalem artichokes, beware of constant wind if you eat too much. We gave up growing them on our allotment for this very reason. Mind you, didn't know about the milk thingy and they do have a lovely flavour. Good luck! 💨 😄
Hope your visa situation works out good for you. 🙏 💟
Bless you. All the Best to you all .
Ugh, I’m so sorry you guys are going through this! We came over to Portugal a little over a year ago and have driven all over the country multiple times, looking for where to buy. In doing so, we’ve seen numerous abandoned villages, which are either dead or on their way out. The country needs you, and others like you, willing to revitalize and bring life to these areas!
Totally understand the frustration (and idea to move to Morocco!). I’m positive things will work out in your favor, hopefully sooner than later.
Also, note to Missy – been meaning to comment how your positivity and style are always uplifting to watch. Don’t let this bureaucracy dim your light. ✨
Hang in there, guys! 💕
Sorry to hear your having a tough time with the system!.. if you had turned up in a rubber boat with nothing! you get the world handed to you on a plate!,, keep going and good luck!..
Fingers crossed for you guys . I'm in south Portugal In my Motorhome , many years to south & middle Portugal 🤞
D ont giving up just yet! I am portugues l like your chanel!
Great Video guys and hope you guys stay there in Portugal 🇵🇹 love watching your Journey.
It’s great to see you being positive and carrying on regardless, that’s the spirit. Live in the moment, that’s all we have and you are all doing great. Did you investigate go fund me? Looking forward to Wednesday.
as a potato i find jerusalem artichokes a dissappointment. but if you fix them as if they were artichokes, they are lovely. smother them in garlic mayo or garlic butter, and you will enjoy them. also, the survive german winters in the ground, so they should do well doing the same in poertugal. only harvest what you can eat in 3 days, they do not store well.
I’m just about to watch this, I can’t bare it! I hope you get to eventually sort this out xxx
Wishing you all the best guys. Must be very worrying. Hope you do get your visa xx
I just subscribed and, as a portuguese, I hope you'll get your visas and wish you all the best.
you have been through the mill. missy you are looking exhausted, look after yourself and when you do eventually get your visa I'd love to be at the party! sending positive vibes to you all take care. Suzie xxx
