About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

Rhubarb is a vegetable that we eat as a fruit
Tomato is a fruit that we eat as a vegetable!
Thanks for sharing. Your lupines look so beautiful. We tried to sow lupines twice and have failed both times, must be doing something wrong. I really like your idea of adding pretty flowers into the garden. Also really enjoyed that you took us along on your day trip. That island is amazing!
8:54 I'm not entirely sure because the leaf shakes a bit, but those look like freshly hatched ladybirds to me :)
That's a beautiful variegated thyme.
I have the worst luck with carrots. What I find so funny is that Queen Anne's Lace which is a wild carrot relation, grows like crazy in my garden all around my house but carrots... no. If they ever do get to even a 2 bite size they are so bitter. I just don't know why. I think I'm just not going to try them anymore. I've been away for a while but I love your channel, lots of catching up to do. Thank you Liz for sharing what you do. God's blessings!
Thanks for sharing your challenges. It helps enormously to know that someone like you can sow seeds that don't come up. It's not just me!
Every year something doesn't grow as I hope it would. It keeps me on my toes!
Thank you so much for showing us your wonderfull farm and all the progress you make! Every month there is growing so much more, its a real joy to watch your work with all of your experience and knowledge! As I am starting a tiny farm in denmark since a few months, I can also imagine how much work it is but as always the gardening year is also some kind of adventure (concerning weather and so on). And also your trip to Skomer island was so interesting! All that wonderfull nature and the cute birds and seals!! ❤ Thank you so much!! I wish you the very best for the garden year and all your plans!! 🌻🌸🪷
I smiled so much at those puffins. How cute! It's been a tough year for direct sown seed here in Ohio, no rain for over three weeks. After two days of rain, I'm trying again. 😊
I've been pacing myself as well. Keeping it enjoyable
lovely tour liz
Hi Liz, I have always enjoyed learning from you & might l add, l also like the way you have your hair done, so l went and got my hair done just the same as your style 😀
Great vid! I always love these tours, and I *always* come away with thoughts of what I need to do or have been meaning to do, but the interlude of the puffins was magical. Huge thanks for that…and your camera work just keeps getting better and better!
Aw thank you! So glad that my video prompt or remind you to do something - I get prompts by watching other gardeners' videos too!
Our carrots and beets are not happy either. :(
It's so comforting seeing similar progress from a seasoned gardener, I'm only in my first year.
OH OH OH PUFFFFFFINS!!!! What a wonderful surprise! Wasn't expecting that in the video. Thank you! I adore puffins soooo much! I was hoping to visit Skomer again this year, however too busy with work, the bee's and the growing. Maybe next year. Thanks so much for this delightful video addition!
You are so welcome! I do like to hide interesting snippets in videos!
Just made some Rhubarb crumbles, mine are too young to pick so my son in laws mother had given me an arm full. "Family Affair crumble," is what I called it. I love looking at others gardens I thought I was too late for Parsnips now I know I can get more seeds in. Thank you!!
The roots will be on the small side, but I figure that small parsnips are better than no parsnips!
Oh my goodness Liz, we sowed X5 different varieties of carrots and we also had zero carrots, but lots of weeds appear?! We've never experienced this before. The seeds were in date too? Could it be down to the ridiculous heatwave we've been having in West Wales?
Yes, very likely. I'm now waiting to see whether the next sowing appears. I've covered the seeds with a board to prevent evaporation while they germinate, but even that doesn't seem to be helping much!
Those puffins made me happy, too!!!
Everything looks so great Liz, I love watching your tours. I tried rhubarb for the very first time this year and so surprised I loved it!
Liz place is looking so good. Plenty food to keep ye going. Love making rhubarb jam,and giving out to my mature frirnds and neighbours, they love it.Those puffins are so beautiful. So close ye got.
Hi Liz. I loved watching all your beautiful planting and lush growth. I'm watching from New Zealand, where we're in the cool and damp times. Not sure if you've tried this, but I'm completely sold on burying kitchen scraps in areas like the dry dusty bed. I don't dig, except to bury and I do it because my scraps are free, it changes the soil immediately, it holds water better, worms move in fast, and plants seem to love it, and it's almost effortless. I just make holes as I need them, so miminal disturbance, and put a stone or brick, and maybe a big canna leaf or something on top. I can but dream of longer warmer days, and enjoy your garden tours.
Love those puffins! I was there about 6 weeks ago (son lives nearby) and was totally enchanted! An utterly magical place.
Blackfly has been a huge problem in my garden this year. I lost most of my elderflower crop to it. Lovely video thanks, xx
Nice wideo
Thanks for taking us on your lovely day trip. Our family adores Puffins!!!
Those puffins are adorable!
I think so too!
I've been using paper coffee filters to get carrots started. I sew the seeds, wet the soil, lay the filters down, and spray water over. When I need to add water, the filters stop the seeds from moving.
I use the same filters as a mulch over the soil around strawberries.
I cut the filters on quarters, lay them on the soil.
Bonus, coffee grounds have nitrogen in them.
Goodness Liz those Puffins are amazing, I’d love to visit one day. Wonderful to see your vegetable garden update too 😊
I remember the time a few years back when you made chive vinegar. I love it!
Hi thank you for the tour, nice and leisurely (although I did start puffin about half way) all the best. 👍🐝🌞
Ha ha! Aren't the puffins lovely? It was one of the best days out I've ever had!
@@LizZorab 👍they always remind me of Groucho Marx 👍🙃
I realy agree! Rubarbs are Great!!Boil them with Cardamon and maybe some a little sugar just before everything comes up to the boil put in some potatoe flavour. When it starts to boil again taket it off! Let it cool down. Serve it with Cold milk. Looovel!!! Enjoy!
Ooh, love the idea of the cardamon. Everything is better with cardamon :) What does the potato flour do?
It’s incredible how much you have organised in a relatively short time, how are you coping with watering I’m in Cornwall we haven’t had rain for five weeks , even the recent storms have passed us by and we still have a hosepipe ban from last year, I’m saving the run off from the showers in buckets washing up water , lettuce washing water and it’s taking two hours to water I’m a pretty fit 75 year old but believe me carrying buckets and watering cans well who needs a gym. But your area is huge compared to mine I don’t know how your managing to grow anything. ❤️
Reality is that I'm losing a lot of plants, but enough are surviving to give us some food.
Hi liz we bought a ton of what we call black gold really good compost from the local company making different composts etc. it must have reached very high temperatures and indeed was hot when we tipped onto our plot but the amount of weed seedlings in it is no body’s business. How is that😮?
Sounds like it haven't finished composting or that weed seeds have blown onto it since it was made.
Will you contain the mint in a pot when you plant it in the ground ? I used the flower as a filler flower last year ,, it was beautiful,, your lupins look fabulous 👍🏾
In this area the mint will stay in pots above ground. In the food forest I'm letting it grow in the ground as much as it likes!
Love the tour and so glad you had a nice time with the Puffins from Sam and Ana
Hello you two! We had a fab time on Skomer Island and I hope to go back again next year.
I'm very impressed with the progression of this garden.
Thank you!
Looking lovely, you have so much variety! You've also reminded me to get some chard seeds 😮 thank you!
And omg the puffins 💞
Thank you, it's coming along 💚
I'm thinking the same thing with a tray of summer annuals I've too lovingly tendered. Ha ha ha, they resemble nothing I've planted!
Happens every year with something! I cleared away those weeds yesterday, so I'm just about to head out to sow more carrot seeds 💚
@@LizZorab yes, so I'm learning. This being only my third season now. Glad I came across your channel. Only watch a handful and yours is one.
Be careful with your jerusalem artichokes. I am curious how the dwarf variant flowers. In zone 6b we had a gardener plant them at our farm, they grow to be 8 feet tall, but they are so invasive. We have had so much trouble with them invading and coming back year after year.
Glad you mentioned the parsnips - I was tossing up whether to sow or not - you have sorted my dilemma! So much rain this winter and I'm just getting on top of the weeding! Thanks for the tour - definitely inspirational! Better get out there and sort out those parsnips!
Did you use that huge pile of manure that was there when you first moved into the new farm? If not, surely that would be a fabulous addition to the raised beds
Huge pile of poo turned out to be just that. Poo and no bedding so it hasn't broken down into compost except for the outer layer. Next time we get a digger in for a day, I'm going to ask them to move the pile and spread it out more, so that I can add carbon materials and turn it into compost.
@@LizZorab sounds like a plan,, you could also add all the grass clippings from between the beds in the fruit forest and a load of wood chips if you can get hold of enough at the right price!! That would be a brilliant growing medium by next spring.
At a glance those caterpillar on the dock leaf look like Peacock butterfly caterpillars. They usually eat nettles so could be why they are in that bed? Just a quess, but if they have small spines and very small white dots it could be them. :)
I had wondered whether they are peacock caterpillars too Sarah, I'll go back and look again in a couple of days and see if they've got big enough to see the white spots. We had masses of them last year on several different patches of stinging nettles, so they could well be.
@@LizZorab Hard to see but they look more like ladybird larvae to me - maybe just wishful thinking?!
@@theresabisson1040 I thought they were freshly hatched ladybird larvae, too!
Liz, Carmarthenshire County Council tip are giving away free, yes free 25ml compost. It's not the best stuff tbh, but combined with a load of good ol' well rotted horse manure, it'll be grand! We've collected about 4 tonnes (about 10 dumpy bags) so far!! And they still have plenty left free! Maybe Ceredigion County Council tip are doing the same thing? Worth checking! We can't afford the level of compost we need and so this was an absolute delight to find out about!
I've had 5 tons delivered to me so far. It took a while to move it all, but I'm almost ready for the next 5 tons!
@@LizZorab Oh fantastic!! Excellent stuff!
Those puffins are so cute!
