@@HuwRichards well if the birds would eat the grasshoppers they would be too fat to fly lol. Now growing in bags covered with mesh bags but it’s a process. Being in Texas weather doesn’t help either. You keep doing what you do and I will continue to laud your success!
I bought your book just to support you, though there's no way I can pull off that garden on my own little scrap of suburban yard...but my dad SNATCHED IT when he saw that I had one, so perhaps your knowledge will be utilized very soon in central Kansas, thank you very much 😄
I actually plant kale in the spring and it feeds me through winter. Then in the spring I pull it and replace it with something else. Kale is such a wonderful vegetable.
I love the fact you don't shout at the camera or make funny faces to entertain. Great advice and help, I am now following you to guide me in our vegie garden, which is part of our attempts to wild our garden, which is roughly equivalent to three tennis courts in size.
Pretty sure you already know this Huw, but for anyone else loving fennel: It is possible to succession sow your fennel. In Stockholm Sweden I sow in april and june. I might not get big bulbs every year but I am happy for anything. This year I have tried celeriac as a succession after garlic. This should not work in my climate but if I get bulbs the size of beetroot I will happily take it.
Thanks Huwe, found this very informative. I have kale and collard greens in already. Planted more carrots and beets and have gone for another crop of onions. My herbs are planted separate barring the basil which helped stopped the slugs stop eating my runner and french dwarf beans. I will look at doing more of that mixing of herbs with the main crop, it pays. Your garden is looking rich with produce and your soil luxurious. That I am still working on.
Huw your channel is so helpful. I live in Zone 6 on Lake Ontario in the US. This year I took your advice and planted Nystertium and the cabbages between them have no bug damage. The Cabbages outside the Nystertium in fact have bug damage. Thanks so much for the great advice and awesome channel.
I will try this. I live in the humid tropics and most of my neighbours have given up. I am spraying the plants when they are tiny as they seem to be OK, more or less, once they get away from the juicy seedling stage. There is still plenty of food for the 'little dears' as I have a big garden and have only just started. My first bananas are showing and my beans and corn as well on the way. Next I want to try rice but the land is very heavy and needs lots of digging and at 73 it is hard work - a bit at a time. My next project is ti dig a banana circle. I reckon 1 dig a dryish dig- maybe 7-10 days.
Thank you so much!! However I don't think I've mentioned that specifically on my channel, not that I can remember, and so I can't take the credit for that but I first heard of that method which I do like, from my friend and fellow gardener Liz Zorab who's also on UA-cam 🌿
Love your channel and book. I've learned so much. Could you show us how you organize all of your seeds? And how do you store them? I keep a small old refrigerator just for seed saving in my barn. Works great but a bit disorganized inside. Any help (or videos) much appreciated. From Kansas USA.
Oooh, first here :) hello :) Good to see things to sew bearing in mind the very wet summer we've had so far. I'm in West Wales too, and everything is all over the place in my garden, this gives hope! :D
Thank you so much! Some have been staples for me as well, for decades, but others were a complete surprise. I'd never thought of sowing dill or coriander in August, for example. I'll definitely try.
Love this advice as I'm getting gaps where I'm harvesting crops. I absolutely love planting in the small bare spaces and being able to have fall crops that way. Thanks!
Packed with excellent information as usual. Great video Huw. Thank you for keeping us inspired. Ive grown only potatoes & strawberries broad beans & a solitary lettuce this year, everything else got eaten. 3 sewings of carrots failed to germinate. I was about to give up when I saw your garden!
Nice, I planted most of those last week as my 1st frost is a little earlier than yours. We have been having a very hot dry summer so once things germinate I imagine growth will be quick even with the shortening days.
As always, thanks for your timely video. I was just preparing the soil for new autumn crops, yet wondering, besides Bok choy and winter radishes, what to sow. 😊
@@HuwRichards Yea it's kind of weird here compared to what I've been used to in the UK. I grow my cauliflower, beetroot, carrots and leafy greens in Nov, Dec and Jan.
Love the list of your favorite vegtable varieties. I would love even more if you some time in the future added short descriptions for why you favor some of the listed varieties over others. Would be a really interesting read!
I am a gardener. I grow thriving brambles & blackberries & pretty yellow ragwort. Some plums have appeared in what I thought were bushes (trimmed accordingly). A few raspberries, currants & the odd strawberry & wild strawberries (about 5-10) revealed themselves to me. Strimming/mowing/hedging/deadwooding (any moment now 3:54 )/watering/brambling/nettling. Oh well! I think this pity video might be for me & I do have some troughs & compost, sand & vermiculite, many seeds, many bulbs so the intention is there … 😂
just eatin some purslane that showed up wild in me garden one day. gonna keep seeds and encurage more of them next season. veggies that do not need maintenece are the best
Hi Huw I enjoy your channel and at the age of 78 I am still learning. I wondered whether you ever grow watercress (not land Rex’s) It comes up every year in my veg plot although every three years or so I sprinkle some fresh seed about
Hi Huw! Loved the video again! Your garden does admittedly look a lot better than mine does right now ( what a year eh), but still; very inspirational! Do you ever use straw as mulch yourself? I was thinking about it, as the garden could really use a good mulch, and I have some straw at hand, but I was wondering if the broad leaf pesticides residues (that I think are beind used on straw fields), would affect my soil health and harvests. So I'd love to hear experiences with it, if you have them!
There is still time for Autoflowers. I try to look at cost per area/time for cost to benefit. I can buy a spud, onion or swede cheap. Prescribed Icky sticky flower for my medical issues cost about $500/month for 30 grams, what vege is worth more than that/foot squared? I like to target the most important/bang for buck produce. Boy choy is so sweat it seems almost unhealthy What are your thoughts about Demeter compared to organics?
No thoughts on Demeter compared to organic really, the world is a better place that they both exist, and I value both due to their moral and ethical stance on food and nourishment. Much better than the opposite chemically aided agriculture. Let's not tare similar sides apart, and focus on the similarities rather than polarizing by just looking at the differences🌿
Carrot tops are delicious sautéed in butter with a bit of onions and maybe topped with some shredded cheese too,,,I pull the tender leaves off the 'stalk' and the sautéed carrot leaves taste better than sautéed spinach in my opinion.I'll make sure I drop in some more carrot seeds in every year around 'Evgeny Malkin day'...July 31!
I hear you are English and I am Dutch. Where in Engeland do you live? I want to compare your climate, etc. with my situation. When you live in the S-W it is not comparable to my situation. Can you let me know?
Huw how do I stop my carrot seedlings falling over when I water them please? Even though I use the gentlest watering can and try to water between rows some always fall over and some don’t get back up! 🙈
Hello Hue, have you ever done a banana peel fertiliser video ? I have never seen anyone do an in-depth review on the PKN values and if it actually works and process time wise.
Hello☺️ I have not and most probably will not as I never buy bananas and think it's a bit gimmicky when I have so many nutritious "weeds" and other things which I have freely available. Hope that helps a bit!
@@HuwRichards Thanks for the response. I did try the grass cutting option. Failed as the fermentation bucket did not handle sun light well :) May try nettles at some point.

so do i... and also a massive slug invasion....planted 4 x the amount of beans as last year but only 3 plants have survived and they are a straggly mess because they keep getting eaten... have rodents. birds, sloworms, newts....refuse to use slug pellets well im the only one on the allotment that doesnt have beans, peas, lettuces or squash this year...i hope they dont kick me off they keep trying....progress is slower for me than most other people but i do love being there and i'm happy with it its just everyone else that seems to have a problem!
I feel your frustration. I am in rural Colorado. Worst grasshopper year since 1937. Scientists says its due to early dry spring. We dig up what was savagable and put in pots on our deck. We also bought 2 foot tall stock tanks into the chicken yard. We grouped them in 12 foot areas and fenced them so the hens can protect them from all sides, still need bug cloth. I have counted 20 per square foot in the pastures which we keep mowed. They ate everything not fenced including tree leaves. They eat thru the heaviest insect cloth in hours. Polytunnels are not an option here due to high winds. So we are considering having small solid greenhouses built as a long term solution. If you find something that works, let me know. We are organic so no insecticides.
Telling me to plant stuff in August is useless to me. Say what part of what season it is. We have just passed mid winter and it was -4C this morning and no sun till 8.30 am and will be dark at 6pm I think your August is very different to mine.
Watch a gardener in your own region if want tailored advice for that specific area, why should a Welsh gardener cater their advice to every other region around the world 😵💫😵💫
I can only guess from your accent that you're not in my USDA growing zone... hard to find such generic titles relevant ... can you consider adding climate information to help the audience?
What do you want exactly? For people to provide planting advice for every single growing zone in the world? People like Huw are making videos about the things they are personally knowledgeable and experienced about, as they should. If you're in a different zone that's on you to find advice for that zone. Don't be salty just because people don't cater to your needs specifically.
When someone tells me, that I can plant X , Y or Z in August, and I cant because of where I am, that means you dont have a good advice. At the very least qualify your statements by mentioning where in the universe will your advice work, so I don't waste my time.
@@NHaq-e7d If you are seeking garden advice from ANYONE on UA-cam it is up to you to learn where their experience in growing is coming from. Huw specifically mentions where he gardens and his garden zone regularly. If you need that much help, one might suggest seeking a gardener in your local area.
Lol it is very easy to find out what his growing zone is on his channel. He doesn't need to mention it in every single video before every statement about growing for people who aren't willing to do the bare minimum legwork. Just because you can't be bothered doesn't mean his advice is bad. You aren't paying money for these videos. Blows me away how people can be so nitpicky and bitter about the wealth of information people provide to others completely for free.
