Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html
A lot of work went into making your property the oasis that it is now. My first born was 2 months old in December of 1995. I still have videos from the late 90s and early 2000s that I don't think we've ever viewed. One I know includes my father-in-law around Christmas maybe 1996 or so. One day hopefully we have a way to transfer them all to media that we can actually watch. Take care.
Dearest Tammy, Oh you are so right, so much work went into our home and property! Hoping that you soon find a way to convert your videos to digital means so you can relive special moments! Hugs, Mariette
Dearest Martha Jane, Wanting to establish your own garden comes with lots of hard work and especially being the very first ever people to start it on this soil. Hugs, Mariette
Hello Mariette, After all of Pieter's and your hard work, it seems that it had barely begun. At this point you at least had the satisfaction of a few plants actually in the ground, plus the land already looks considerably tamed. I hope that Pieter didn't get too used to burning things--I understand that it can get into the blood! --Jim
Dearest Jim, It was rough and a lot of hard work indeed but Pieter knew what he was doing and we had our plan in place. As to burning things, how else would you have gotten rid of all that?! Having it done by professionals was no option, it was too swampy for reaching it with stump grinders or whatsoever. And what do you think the cost would have been, if doable?! We always have supported Pieter's ex and his adopted daughter and for that we often had to make do with very little for our own. But we're mighty proud for having managed it all! https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2011/12/our-daughter-liz.html Hugs, Mariette
Dearest RTC, No, my Pieter did not suffer muscle pain but was able to eat and sleep well and he felt satisfied about things accomplished. Indeed, we left it quite natural and only added something. Hugs, Mariette

You did such heavy work in this garden!
ReplyDeleteIt must have taken a long time. Your courageous!
Dearest Catherine,
DeleteNo it did not take long, in-between our international consulting work it got done rather swiftly.
Hugs,
Mariette
You two really like hard work. I admire your dedication.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteIt is not a matter of liking but getting it done! Who else would do it for you...?
Hugs,
Mariette
I'm going to echo Victor's sentiment, Mariette. Just wow!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Hard and great work. He made a great impression.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes, very hard work but with some wonderful results in the end.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh my, what a big job. Makes my back sore just watching the video!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Peter,
DeleteIt sure was a mega task and it required quite some endurance.
Hugs,
Mariette
That is such hard work that will give you such pleasure when it is finished!
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteYes, in the end this was something to feel very proud of!
Hugs,
Mariette
How bloody great
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThe end result sure was!
Hugs,
Mariette
This is a hard work. I am afraid you suffered muscle pain. Your work have given a good natural view to this area.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteNo, my Pieter did not suffer muscle pain but was able to eat and sleep well and he felt satisfied about things accomplished.
Indeed, we left it quite natural and only added something.
