Just joined up, just browsing some foreign gardening magazines. Can’t understand a word but the pictures are inspiring. Thanks
@@andyjwall2 Awesome! Yeah it's great to get inspiration from other places too especially photos😍
Thank you! I've taken advantage of this and look forward to reading through Gardening, Hobby Farms, and Science magazines! :D
With the overload of options in the world, I appreciate your recommendations- always thoughtfully curated 😊

My daughter is starting her gardening journey this year. I made her a small raised bed of her own for her birthday and she’s so excited. I told her that part of the fun of gardening is that every year, some things work and some things flop and you never know what’s going to happen.
I’ve watched your show since my college days when I had a kitchen garden and you were a little kid just starting your channel. Flash forward to close to a decade, I’m now 36 and UA-cam has brought me back to your channel and seeing that you’re still growing strong and still has a love for gardening brings many smiles to my face.
I love what you said about setting a realistic challenge for self sufficiency. The example of eating one thing per day from your garden, and the “rule” allowing even a sprinkling of parsley, shows how kind you are to yourself and your viewers. Thank you 🥰
Awh you're most welcome, we shouldn't put pressure on ourselves and instead focus on simple and attainable goals that we can build up from😊
@@HuwRichards Thank you so much! You are such an inspiration and blessing!
Jag tycker det är en underbar tanke. Idag har jag skördat basilika från min odling inomhus i krukan, medan det snöar ute …
I love the final sentence. “Even just a sprinkling of parsley….” In the worst years, in the middle of winter, there are always green onions from the window sill. I use the tops of Egyptian walking onions for that. Great channel.
I can smell them, yummy👍🏻
That advice in the end is a really good one. Eat something from the garden every day.
You bet Erik! A nice simple goal that doesn't put pressure on growers either😊
I like the grocery store analogy Huw, but our allotments, kitchen garden, balcony or back step, are the upper echelon of all grocery stores, not even Harrods or Waitrose could compete with the freshness, availability and sheer choice we all have, by our own choices, decisions and hard work...Steve...😃
Love that Steve! You're totally right in fact! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
I grew spaghetti squash for the first time this year, too, Huw! I'm excited to see how far they make it into my winter. I also have beautiful leek flowers, beloved by pollinators around here. I love your videos. I'm the only self-sufficient gardener in my area, so sometimes I feel alone. Your channel helps me feel a community and I enjoy watching your variety of new efforts, which inspire me. Thank you so much, Huw!
Such nice explanation. Totally impressed. Such a zest for gardening like me. Being self sufficient is the aim. Thanks for the videos.
I allow leeks to go to seed in a new spot every year. Not only do they bloom for weeks, they attract a very broad range of pollinators during that time. And you can save the seed as well. I love the idea of always trying something new as well. My favourites so far this year have been Patty Pan summer squash and Ground cherries, both of which I will grow again. Very soon we should be harvesting edamame, which I am eager to try, and then later, some popping corn. So much fun to experiment. Love your channel Huw! Thanks for all your inspiration!
~ Would you be willing to show us how you store the vegetables at the end of the season??
I’d love to see something on this too my potatoes went soft
Please Huw . Tell us your tricks for long storage .
I would also love to see how Huw stores his bounty to last through the winter and/or get his tips on how to preserve or can it properly.
Make jars of pickled veggies for stir drys etc.
Would love to see this!
I learned so much from you and I am in Texas, USA. I am growing my garden a little at a time right now I have 12 raised beds and some berries plants. Thank you for all you do!
There is something very special about your videos, Huw. They’re educational, interesting and inspiring. You make everything so easy to understand and your calm enthusiasm (which I like much better than the jump up and down type) has me believing I can one day grow a successful veggie garden here in KY, USA. Thank you! 💚
I really appreciate your very kind comments. Comments like this absolutely make my week😊
Agreed! I started a garden for the first time in 2020 because of his videos. -your neighbor in Missouri
@@sararampton654 ❤️
@@sararampton654 I agree wholeheartedly. Huw, I, too, started a home garden because of you and Epic Garden videos. You're enthusiasm, concern for sustainability and self-sufficiency are inspiring. You're a natural teacher. Thanks for all you share and give us. -your neighbor in Illinois
So envious of your beautiful raised bed garden. I tried to grow some vegetables in containers underestimated how much space a pumpkin, cucumber, squash, and watermelon vine would take up. Also many blossoms no fruit on yet. What happened to the pollinators, Help. Also can you water too often. Can you grow any kind of tomatoes in a greenhouse. Any tips for testing the soil. Ph levels, or amt of nitrogen and phosphorus etc. Help me with squash production please. I am 65 yrs and need vegetable to become self sufficient. Would be happy to be able to grow leeks or fennel. So impressed. I love the idea of food security for senior citizen.
Watching your video is so therapeutic and inspiring at the same time. Its like I'm meditating and learning at the same time. Thank you!
This is the first year i've grown my own veg. I was a little late to the season because i've had issues sourcing affordable wood. But I managed to get 2 beds made. They currently have cucumbers, runner beans, kabocha squash, kale, peas, carrots, and lettuces growing in them. Everything is doing well! The runner bean and cucumber plants are surprisingly huge and they're producing a lot of very large fruits and pods!! I'm surprised! I'm in Devon so i'm unsure if the environment down here has made a difference but I haven't found the weather to be too disastrous for my plants. I've actually not had to water everything much, expect for in June/July when we had the heatwaves. Otherwise it's just been sunny then rainy then sunny then rainy. We've just built another bed that needs to be filled and ready to go. I need to decide on what to put in it next though! Maybe chard? Onions for next year?
The only issues i've been facing is the amounts of slugs in the garden! They decimated a load of lettuces (I grew enough that we were able to enjoy some of them at least), but i've now put netting over another batch of lettuces that seems to have helped a lot! Not had any black fly or aphids or any other pests yet though. My mum and mother-in-law are surprised by how much veg i've been able to produce in a short amount of time. They both have attempted to grow veg in the past for years but not had as much success as me, haha! Either I'm actually green thumbed or just lucky!
Huw, I enjoy starting each Friday in my office by watching and listening to what you're going to teach me today. I am always encouraged and challenged to try new things and to continually learn about gardening whether it's in my vegetable or flower gardens. You are a great young man with a lot of knowledge to share and I want to encourage. you to keep moving forward in all you do. You are a great example to others who are your age and to all of us who are old enough to be your parent. Greatly appreciate what you do for the gardening community. Kentucky, USA
Awh thanks Darin! There is honestly no end from what can be learnt from a garden which is partially why I love doing it so much! I also really appreciate your support and kind comments, it means the world to me!
Bravo, Huw! @DarinBennett, you put it extraordinarily well. I agree wholeheartedly with your encouragement for Huw. Nicely done.
@@David60137 David, I would enjoy hearing about your gardening experience. I'm always excited to learn from others as I continue to expand my gardens. Trying to get to gardening throughout the entire year but in our climate it means adding a tunnel of some sort. Hope all is well!
You're the best Huw! Thanks for yet another educational and peaceful video.
It's my absolute pleasure Kurtis
No way Kurtis is here! You guys both make amazing content! 👍 hope you upload soon Kurtis
Yes!

Amaranth leaves are a Kenyan delicacy. We eat it with Ugali, add some fried fish, dry fry beef, or pork, Yummy 😋
I have decided to open another restaurant. A submissive menu that comes straight from the garden daily. I am excited to get this going..
Sounds exciting and delicious
How did It go 2yrs on?
Wow, beautiful your garden!
Thanks so much for being an inspiration Huw! Because of your videos I was inspired and encouraged to grow my own veggies in my small backgarden. I binge watched your gardening videos even when I’m cooking and bought your book which is so helpful. Because of you I also got to know Charles Dowding, and wow the 2 of you gave me so much inspiration and learning that I kept on planting and planting til now that I slowly grow about 80% of my vegetables home since last year. The garden saved me this lockdown too. I destress and find happiness whenever I go out and tend to my plants. You and Charles are my gardening heroes! Love you guys! God bless you both! Wishing you everything that’s good in life!💚💚💚
Throw in the occasional tornado, avg wind gust at 15 mph and stormy winds up to 75 mph coupled with your tumultuous season and you have our clime. Congrats! LOL
Never in my life , I have seen such a educational video on gardening in just one video!, other than other youtubers making it into 5 or 8 video, best channel in the world about gardening.😍
That compost in the bed of potatoes as you harvest them looks absolutely beatuiful!
Your garden is amazing, hope one day mine Will be beautiful as yours. ❤
Your garden looks just fresh like you. Your energy and enthusiasm is everything.
I'm thai people and i like your video so much 😍😍
1st time I saw ur video and fall in love with ur methods of explaining from the basic,eager to watch all ur videos .
Tip. Put on a kitchen glove and dip-fill empty 2 litre handled milk bottles marked “smelly nettle”. I rotate four at a time. The same with 4 marked worm and 4 marked smelly comfrey. Dot them about near water butts/taps. Easy to pour into watering can and no splash back on hands or clothes. 🙂
Your garden is looking amazing Huw! there's so much information in this video, i think i need to watch it again and make notes!
Awh thanks Angela!! I'm so pleased this video is useful
Hi Huw . We in Ireland have only just joined the world of comments , but i have been watching you for a long time . Your name make me smile as my dad is hugh . I have been really taking your advice and now i eat from my garden every day . I am 50 in September and it is empowering learning from somebody so young . You were very young when i found you . I can only imagine how good you will be at my age . I do believe your dad gave you the bug . My grandad did me . But i forgot it . Thanks for waking me up 😀😀
Thank Huw, great content as usual. Amongst other things I'll definitely try the bean arches over the paths next year. Being 4' 10" I think Ill have an easier job squeezing underneath than you do 😆
You just gave me an idea, Huw. I have a few potting mix bags that I can recycle instead of putting them in the bin. Well, I was going to lay them on my weedy areas first before dumping them. Now, am going to use them for the potatoes, yay! :) I thoroughly enjoy this video and thanks for the inspiration.
Spaghetti Squash is both yummy when it is young in the summer and older and nuttier tasting in late winter. With older squashes, cut in half lengthwise, seed, bake, then carefully scrape the cooked flesh out of the shell. Layer the cooked squash back into the shell, alternating with several spaghetti tomato sauce and cottage cheese layers. Top with mozarella cheese and bake like lasagna. Delicious!
Hi you are my second favorite UK GARDENER. I'm just liking your videos.New fan in NY. THANK YOU.
Great video Huw and a really great channel, I learn so much every time I watch your videos. You offer clear practical advice and I love your focus on doing things efficiently to get the best return for the least effort. Thank you.
Thanks Huw, very informative even though I'm in Australia and the seasons are opposite but it prepares me for the coming season after watching what you have been growing.
My biggest revelation this year is growing potatoes in pots I am even testing “pruning” some of the foliage to see if it makes any difference to the harvest. I know it’s sure a lot easier to keep the pot area tidy. Thank you for sharing ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe
You have a little paradise growing 🌞🌺🌸
Even if I wasn't a gardener I would love this channel!!!!
Thanks so much Kathy!
So so satisfying just to even have one thing from the garden on your plate. I've got my daughter and niece enjoying zuchinni for the first time ever which is exciting!
Got a lot of hard work to do in the garden preparing for next year, but so exciting to see how much we can add to eat!
Spaghetti squash is one of my favorites! I added Red Kuri squash last year and that has been added to my "must-grows". The taste and texture are much like sweet potatoes.
Happy Growing!
I love this guy. He knows so much and his videos get better and better.
Wowwww.....What a beautiful garden......Keep Rocking and Stay healthy.... Love from India 😊😊😊
You are a very beautiful amazing soul !!
You came to this planet to help people to evolve.
Thank you!!
Woow.. What a beautiful garden, I love gardening, I wish I can have a garden like that.
I like the idea of changing up the varieties!
the garden full of vegetables. love yours
Hello i'm Florie from Philippines .I enjoyed watching your videos .Keep up the good work.
I love that you discuss the pressure we can sometimes put on ourselves to produce ALL our veg. Its all about adding on as we can manage what we have already. Easy to cover one or two beds over if we need to, rather than give up altogether.
I like that i gave myself permission to close a bed or two when I became unable to dedicate as much time due to other commitments.. Just getting back into it now after 3 years educating my grand-daughter full time… so now she is back at school, I have given myself the challenge to have lunch each day, with food predominantly harvested from my garden. That is good enough. Today i did lunch and dinner. Tatsoi, celery, spinach - baby & perennial, red and white spring onion, beetroot leaves, silverbeet, coriander, sorrel, zucchini, capsicum… i added a potato, carrot & tofu to make a delicious stirfry. It felt so good.
You really have green thumbs Huw. Your garden is looking superb!!
Thank you Huw. Beginner gardeners here in NZ and we absolutely love your channel.
Hoy! I'm so proud of you, look at all the blooms you've added. Well done.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of gardening very educational.
Your garden presentations are so impressive and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your gardening expertise with us! God bless!
Wow how marvelous a garden!!!!!! I'm awe struck at how organized with variety it contains!!!! Heaven on earth! Thanks for the priceless wisdom. I agree growing up with a garden does foster a sense of stability that many people have missed out, but are capable of establishing in their world. I'm so proud of you (I'm jumping and clapping)!!!!
Wow what an Amazing heavenly place.... Ur garden relax my mind so much....
I am actually eating that « little bit of persil » every day from my « garden ». I live in a city and grow food on my terrass. I recommend curled Cale as it is a real hero in pot.
Love from France 🇫🇷💚
So true about trying different vegetables throughout the growing season. I've practised growing several new varieties every year. That's how I've discovered several that I now plant regularly. I hate the flavour of yellow and green beans but tried Royal Burgundy a few years ago and fell in love with the flavour. It's now a regular in my garden. I've also been growing in containers on my large deck, which utilizes an unused space and pretty much doubled the size of my garden. Love your channel, thank you for all the suggestions, tips and tricks.
Iam from India, your vegetables garden is amazing me
Wow
I love to do archways through my garden that go over my pathways, but also provide a shaded place to grow plants that do better in the shade.
Great video! I’m also growing that type of Amaranth and it’s so visually striking. I had forgotten that the leaves were also edible, not just the flowers, so thank you for the reminder!
Another wonderful tour Huw, thanks for sharing your garden! Growing the runner beans on the IBC tanks is such a great idea!
It's a beautiful garden to have like one needs a lot of knowledge of gardening.
Hi Huw, fabulous update and I'm sure your enthusiasm is catching. I'm in Tregaron, so as well as everything else in your videos, not only do I feel sympathy for the weather we are both having, but I get lots of great info from you and your garden too. The leek flowers and other things that have gone to seed is a great idea for late summer pollen. Thanks for cheering up a bit of a dull day. We had fog this morning haha :)
So fresh.... Good for mother nature
Shout out to those dimples! Everything is so pretty. 😍
Truly beautiful. Such an amazing garden. All your hard work is an inspiration.
Thank you so much!:D
When you said, "We sow the seed", I instantly thought of The Young Ones when Rick and Neil were in the garden and Neil was trying to teach Rick how to grow things. Then Rick got upset and hit Neil with a shovel, planted him in the '10 ton poo' and several Neils popped up. It's such a great comedy.
You’ve been reading my mind. Whenever I can’t sleep I plan garden changes. So the other night I did an in the head revamp, deciding what I want and don’t want to grow next year and planning a makeover for my brassica tunnel. It won’t be brassicas. I’m going to concentrate on fruits, but because of epic wood pigeons a tunnel is required. I’m taking out the wooden raised beds and using the ground. I think it was easier in my head than it’s going to be in life. I might need to rope in helpers.
You are a true professional, both in gardening and as a UA-cam creator.
I salute you with respect Adrian
Brilliant video with great tips. Every single part of your garden is beautiful
I LOVE the idea of using at least 1 thing from your garden every single day!
Lovely video. Your photography is always stunning. I know that most people are very excited about amaranth seeds...I put them in my stews and boil them to make porridge. Down south near Mexico city they make Alegria sweets with the heat popped seeds. I find the leaves much more valuable than the high lectin seeds. They make a spinach replacement but are higher in protein. I boil and drain then chop and add butter. The leaves are an important part of my chicken feed. Having high amounts of nitrogen in the soil makes the leaves bitter. I prefer to grow amaranth away from garden beds and have it in the compacted clay areas.
Good tip about high nitrogen soil. Thanks
Great one, Huw. I look forward to seeing your "winter content", too!
Te robaste mi corazón 🥺💗
Thank you for sharing and helping us all
At this point in my life you are an inspiration to do something with my yard as well as my health thank you very much.
Beautiful!!
I will now try to plant some leeks in the garden and let them bloom. The bulbs of the ornamental Alliums are so pricey and those in your garden are so gorgeous!
Very sustainable garden and lot varieties of vegetables.❤️
Your garden could feeds the whole village 💕🌲🌳☘🍀🌱🌿
Always love the videos
Love it! You are an incredible inspiration.
Love your idea of setting a goal to easy one thing out of your garden each day had really helped my mind about getting started to grow food for myself. Thankyou .
Lovely garden!
Thank you. Always love your channel.
Beautiful garden.
Love the abundance!
Wow! You are so smart and sensible gardener! And so young! How did you get to be so amazing at such a young age!? Great work!
Hahaha thank you!! Started gardening when I was 3🌱
@@HuwRichards I work with autistic teenage boys teaching them about gardening. They really love it! I am getting some great ideas from you on project I can have them work on. I can see how much you love gardening in your videos. I am the same! It is just so thrilling and exciting to see things growing and to eat the results. I just made an amazing tomato soup! ( with frozen tomatoes from lasts summers garden) It is winter here in Boston. I can barely wait till Spring to start growing again with my students. It is just so much fun!! Keep up all your good work. You are very inspiring!
Another amazing video- thank you for all of your hard work sharing this info with all of us!!
Excellent permaculture kitchen garden tour Huw Richards and there's certainly an abundance of food available.
I love your garden! This season has been a little disappointing and difficult in my garden! Love all the info and garden tips🌺🧤
You are amazing bro. Love from India 🇮🇳
Awesome. Many thanks for sharing!!
Hi Hugh, I think this is one of the most enjoyable and helpful videos that I have watched on your channel! So good to see you thriving after such a trying season and I completely agree about the pleasure of being able to pick your own food that you have grown through your own efforts. I have just had to pull up all my outdoor tomato plants due to blight, but nevertheless managed to salvage some of the fruit and now there is more room for my dwarf beans to grown and I freed up a bed for brassicas for the hungry gap, so the cycle of growing goes on….
Lovely variety!
Wow! Great information in such a short amount of time. Thank you so much. Is always a joy to watch your videos
Your garden is full and abundant. I love how you give helpful information in a calm way. I grow flowers in my garden too! I am in the USA but I Love my urban English cottage garden!😃
Such amazing gardening advice. Thank you so much. Hopefully, this autumn when we start planning our winter garden, we’ll have some good ideas.
