087 Building a greenhouse
We are building a greenhouse this weekend. And we need to get it done before the storms. I also need to harvest some weeds before the sheep come to eat them. Note: The video version of this post gets released on Wednesday, April 24. When I’d harvested a good amount of dandelion flowers and buds,…

086 Building a storage bench
It’s time to tackle that indoor list. Our living room has been an absolute mess, so I’m building a storage bench for the hallway. I also deal with about 50 eggs from the garden neighbor, and use the egg cartons for my potatoes. There are a lot of sunflowers growing on my balcony. The birds…

085 Weeding the potato bed
The list of things to get done in the garden is growing faster than these weeds. Spring paid a visit, so I used the sunshine to make progress. First up: the potato bed. I could make an entire video about the things I still need to get done to prepare for growing food. That list…

084 Starting the garden beds
Spring is slowly arriving in North-East Germany. This year, I want to grow a lot of food. Right now, it’s all weeds and grass. There are a few ways I want to try making these beds. This one, I’ll weed by hand. But I’ll also try traditional Irish beds and weeding with sheep and goats.…

083 Why I’m not quitting
When I started my first Youtube channel in 2018, I didn’t think I’d last long. Many years later, I can’t imagine not creating videos, sharing my journey and my knowledge. Today, I’ll tell you all about why I am not quitting and the future of my channel while dealing with a bunch of trash in…

082 Demo day and froggy forest
With my bedroom slowly turning into a plant nursery, I use any okay day to work in the garden and make progress there. This time, I continued the demolition of the second hut. Tearing down the shed is far from done, but I called it a day to enjoy a forest walk past where the…

081 Spring? Dirt and trash!
Spring is still playing tug-o-war with the remnants of winter here. But the occasional warmer days have me preparing for warmer days to come soon. I clean up our balcony, drive off more trash from the overgrown plot, and make very simple grilled-cheese sandwiches. Debris from the roof falls onto our balcony. Over winter, this…

080 Planting tulips
I take advantage of a gap in the rainy weather to plant some tulips around the terrace in the garden and to rescue the strawberries. I also try to treat the fungus gnats and aphids on our indoor plants with neem oil. This is probably the only window I am gonna get to not plant…

079 Trying to bake German cheesecake
With the outside world still wet and gray, I get a lot done indoors while dreaming about garden work. As I’d been craving some cheesecake, I decided to bake some from scratch–something that I hadn’t done in over a decade. It did not quite go as planned. The temperatures are slowly creeping up, but most…

078 This does not feel like spring
The outside world is cold, gray, and wet. But inside, I am preparing for spring. With false spring come and gone, I am taking advantage of some indoor days to get some seeds started, bake bread and make some home-made pizza from scratch. Just a couple of days ago, I was in the garden in…
