    The new season of the inspiring garden series is here! This is now an annual occurrence on this channel as a way to provide ideas, information, and inspiration to use gardeners for next spring. I hope you enjoy! And here is Wade's book: shop.permaculture.co.uk/the-orchard-book-plan.html
    Edit: Looks like some spambot has appeared in the comments section. Hoping to keep on top of it.

    Beautiful! It should be known that the Irish reliance on potatoes was a result of colonisation by the Brits. The Irish knew monoculture was risky but its occupier, the Brits, exported a lot of other Irish foods and products for its own gain (classic characteristic of colonisation) leading to a lack of food and resources for the Irish people. A blight came and the Irish, with very little else to eat, experienced a famine. There's much more to the story than Irish lack of knowledge on crops.

    I was standing next to a woman in a Costa que once when she was saying to her friend that her little boy wanted an apple tree but she didnt have the room for it. I told her that you can dwarf apple trees it's good to get one the is self pollinating. I showed her everything she needed a big tub to stand the tree in and explained about keep apply new new nutrients every year by mulching it. I saw a few months ago and she thanked me she said it had gave her a great crop and she had never had such a good apple before. Xxx

    Growing food is not about saving money. It's about food security, knowledge, experience, and beauty, all in exercise. The same people who don't want us to grow potatoes go to the gym for their only exercise, and many, many of them don't even know what truly fresh food tastes like.

And, no it's not work...I'll step outside to do two things in the garden, spend two hours out and it feels like five minutes. It's joyous, therapeutic and relaxing.

    I wish more people could have the opportunity to taste heirloom apples, that's all I grow. There's a certain satisfaction when you see someone's eyes light up the first time they taste one straight from the tree and you tell them it's the same variety Thomas Jefferson and George Washington grew in their orchards. Unfortunately, so many of orchards in the States were chopped down during Prohibition, but, 90 years later, they heirloom varieties are starting to make a comeback.

      Because of health problems, I am hit and miss, but even just some parsley and rainbow chard for an omelette is better than nothing.
      I've just had to move house, into another rental, so not a lot of scope. The existing garden is lawn, concrete, and narrow beds along the fences, full of agapanthas and yukkas. Even so there are a few gaps where I can squeeze a few things in. Tomatoes should have been planted 3 weeks ago. I have some timber packing crates with forklift feet, so the plan is to fill them this weekend and place them under the laserlite verandah which acts as a sort of open-sided greenhouse. Tomatoes should do well there.

    I agree with everything Wade has said here. Had the being told to only grow or not to grow certain things when we got our first allotment just over a year and a half ago, particularly potatoes which have turned out to be our favourite thing to grow, especially with the variety you get home growing! The it’s such hard work thing is another thing we get from friends but it really doesn’t feel that way, I can spend hours there and not notice how much time has gone by yet when I’m doing my ‘day’ job it drags so much sometimes 😂 I wish I could grow things full time as it is the best feeling and the food we make from our own produce is incredible and the satisfaction from having grown from seed to plate is unbeatable imho. I wish I had the opportunity to grow more earlier in life and much more space now! ❤

      He's wrong about the Irish potato famine being caused by monoculture. The peasants starved because their diet was almost exclusively potatoes but their overlords (the English "nobility") still had a variety of vegetables from their walled gardens.

    • @sarahtrew9331
      @sarahtrew9331 2 роки тому

      @@andrewreaney I think the sentiment of his statement about monoculture is correct. Having absentee landlords, living in England, collecting rents from impoverished & powerless tenants who were paid minimal wages to raise livestock & crops to send to England predominately, while they were forced to live in horrendous conditions, only able to grow potatoes was an abhorrent use of power by the British in Ireland & is a factor in my family, on my dads mums side, in having to leave the country. Monoculture enforced or by design has disastrous consequences, so I think his point broadly stands.

    Great video. I really liked when he said, "grow a variety of vegetables". I'm a small place gardener for several years now. And I experienced that some crops don't do well every year. Peas never worked at my place. Zucchini didn't do well this year. I harvested 3 from one plant and then it was done. My water melons were a great success. I harvested more cucumbers from one plant than I could eat. Garlic wasn't so good. But when I grow lots of different veggies, I always have a harvest. Gardening is being flexible. Carrots in the ground never did well. I grow them in pots now and they' re amazing. There is a learning curve every year. It's always different. And of course nature has the final say.

    As someone who lives in east Texas, I'm always so jealous of these beautiful gardens that are quite commonplace in the UK. Flowering gardens mixed in with vegetables is something I have tried many times, but even using heat tolerant plants, the summer always devastates the flowers, which means the pollinators aren't around to do their job. It was 40 C (104 F) here last year! We have also had many fruit trees (Lemons, oranges, apples,etc.) that can handle the hot weather that we cared for for many years that were finally beginning to mature and the consecutive freak freezes the past two years have killed them all except one! My decorative garden with many mature and grown-in heat loving plants has also been devastated by the freeze. I can't just dig up a 40 pound Agave and roll it into a greenhouse! Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping pollinators around during the hotter months? In Texas we have a long growing season, but most of that season occurs in 85+ degree heat. Not exactly the best weather when you want to be able to grow anything other than corn T-T

      @GotA-do4ob Рік тому

      @@user-ed7et3pb4o Yes! The issue that comes in the height of summer is not from the sunlight itself but the ambient heat in general. That deep in the season, the sun will bake the ground and the heat will radiate off of it for hours even after the sun has gone down. I started keeping the flowers in pots that could be moved indoors but this defeats the purpose of having them in the garden because the pollinators can't get to them. Shade helps some but the flowers will always wilt and look absolutley pitiful during the day. The only thing I've had any luck with is milkweed because the monarchs like it but they also eat the plants and eventually kill them by laying their eggs on them. I also can't keep milkweed close to the garden so the caterpillars don't chew on the veggie plants.

    What a beautiful and inspiring space. I'd love it if you could talk about sunlight and shade, and how you (and perhaps Wade) manage it in your gardens -- you both grow so densely, and some of your plants reach such heights -- how do you make sure you position things properly so that everything gets the light it wants?

    Wonderful video! I agree 100% that gardening is ‘good work’ so it doesn’t feel like work at all.

    Fair play for the garden. But bit rich saying the Irish Famine was due to monoculture. Multiple variety’s, of multiple Irish crops were being exported by the English.

    Hi Huw Richards
    Thank you for sharing such a lovely & inspiring permaculture video.
    Iam a total beginner to gardening itself when I say total it’s like a baby just coming out a mothers womb … my mother was a gardener but she did hee hobby quietly I sometimes watched her in my teens but was a ignorant Tom boyish girl couldn’t get what she was doing. Dad being a supportsman but unable to pursue his passion workinb in a bank on co op level and I would think men just working in offices providing luxury life was something
    Today as grown older wandering , contemplating, meditating here I come to the basics the most important place my spirit calls upon to live sustainable, and spend time in permaculture & gardening.
    But … yes there is a but
    A baby just coming out a mothers womb if you can imagine, is my state
    I sometimes go in my small garden & watch the climate weather , sun feels very good but come back clueless as I have no knowledge of principles or practical work.
    No compost making knowledge or hands on
    No soil, water nothing , crop knowledge
    Only thing I know is weeding
    I read books & then decided to take on a course on holticulture but I even don’t know if that’s gonna work for permaculture.
    Then growing veg in pots or flowers like daffodils is the only thing I felt courageous to do & do successfully
    I know you would say trial & error is all what it is.
    But to cut the long story short
    can you recommend , guide from where to start for a total beginner who has zero knowledge of gardening?? Or permaculture.
    There is a whole large world for this out there and it does get overwhelming seeing to start permaculture at my garden with zero experience & if looking out feel overwhelmed as there is lots of all sort of info out there.
    isn’t a green thumb, but is all open to transform her life as this helps my mental emotional health & well being.
    Thank you in advance Huw
    Hehehe definitely this whole story isn’t as amazing , wonderful & inspiring like your vlogs which share gems … and inspire others to grow as humans. But may be you find something funny to reply.😁

    This is such inspiration, the book is very interesting as well. We are well established on the house garden and will be building the permaculture gardens around the new greenhouse this coming year. Gardening is soul food for sure.
