It’s time to see if the 1975 Kubota tractor will start and get some seeds in the ground! 🌱 I’m focusing on soil improvement while planting crops, so I’m thinking carefully about what to sow for the best results.

Highlights from this video:

After selling up in England in 2021, we moved to rural Portugal to start a new life. Living off the land, learning beekeeping, planting crops, and embracing sustainable living has been challenging but incredibly rewarding.

Homesteading in Portugal isn’t always easy, but the journey has been amazing. Thank you for watching #HowardsPortugal, and a huge shout-out to all our channel members, subscribers, and viewers.
