My partner is not a plant person quite yet and I'm ending year 2 of gardening, and he is forever impressed with me for growing pounds of produce on our balcony from seed in a lot of the plants❤
That feeling can never go away. It's in your blood if you feel this compassionate about it your first go at it. And you'll never stop learning something new every year.
The purple sprouting broccoli needed Huw Richards' face to pop up for a second. 😆 This garden is lovely. Aubergine and Courgette are so much nicer sounding words than eggplant and zucchini.
❤ hey Gaz! This episode made me happy and smiling! If I weren’t happily married, I would come to Wales and bang on your door 😊 I don’t think you will ever get tired of your garden or stop feeling happy in it , greetings from Sweden by the way 🇸🇪
For anyone feeling discouraged about your garden compared to Gaz's. He's had a lot of help. He didn't go from being a chef to a master gardner in a few seasons. He had help to create what you see. He didn't do it by himself. He didn't know about what certain plants needed, soil preferences, etc. He had extensive help. You'll get there. Keep learning and growing.
This has made my day! Two of my favorites together. The smiles, camaraderie, and shared joy of gardening warms my heart and gives me the impetus to continue with my garden. Loved especially the discussion about rescuing chickens, learning about the cola plant, nondairy ice cream (basil no less!), and tales of garden hopes for the future. Delightful and inspiring. Thank you both.
It sounds like you're describing a very engaging and heartwarming experience. The combination of gardening, shared joy, and interesting discussions about topics like rescuing chickens, learning about unique plants like the cola plant, and experimenting with nondairy ice cream flavors (basil-flavored ice cream sounds intriguing!) seems to have provided a lot of inspiration and enjoyment. It's wonderful how such experiences can boost one's enthusiasm for gardening and bring a sense of community and learning.
My heart smiled when you said I hope the feeling never leaves me. The wonder and awe of seeds growing, of witnessing nature’s abilities has never left me ! Congratulations on reconnecting with nature!!! What sn amazing garden!
Ben this was such a pleasure to watch! Gaz is a remarkable gent and I enjoy watching his videos as well! I was especially touched at Gaz' rescue chickens-- A complete WIN-WIN!!!
Gaz! Oh my goodness! The sparkle in your eyes from the magic of gardening will never fade! Seeds are amazing and remind us of the possibilities in our lives. My mantra is, “I plant the seed, God does the rest!” Continued blessings to both you and Ben.
Ben, just want to let you know that you inspired me to do gardening. I remember watching one of your videos and it was the beginning of more research and finally being brave enough to start. From a very low maintenance lawn now my back garden has turned into a very productive space. Been growing loads of brassicas, beans, squashes, flowers, etc since february this year. My mental health has been a lot better (I lost both of my parents within two months last year and was in a dark place as my late mother has been a rock in my life), overall gardening has changed my life. Thank you.
This is so joyous to read - I'm so pleased you have discovered gardening. And I agree, it really is so good for our mental health and general wellbeing. :-)
I absolutely loved this video! Two friends sharing their passion for gardening and no Gaz, you will not lose the joy and excitement when you slice open something you grew from seed 💌 I hope you'll have more guests, share tips and make us smile, thanks!
Enjoyed the enthusiasm and sense of wonder in this young man! Watching this when we are expecting a blizzard in the next 24 hrs so, #1: love seeing the GREEN of my ancestors’ land and #2 this gets me more excited for March and beyond when my 2024 season begins! 🙏🏼 thanks!
"The Green, green grass of home"❤ This is why I don't complain about all the rain we get... though this winter it just hasn't stopped !! It's "Mud, glorious mud "😅😅. Seeing the Welsh countryside all dry with yellowing grass ,when we had a drought a few summers ago , was awful.Best Wishes to you.Hope that blizzard didn't cause too many problems for you.
What a treat , watching you both wandering round the garden in such a beautiful setting, Gaz’s crops look amazing especially that beautiful beetroot. Thank you so much for sharing .
Those zuccini flowers look wonderful. I once grew zuccini /courgette but didn't have success for some reason with the fruits, so decided to focus on the flowers. I harvested them here and there, stuffed them with a rice based filling and pan fried them. They were a real treat. Vegie Gardens are hard work but absolutely worth it, no matter how big or small. Thank you for sharing this garden.
@darrenbailey27 some vegans rescue chickens and feed the eggs back to the chickens, with the shell, to make up for loss of calcium because of intense egg laying. 🤍
The collab I didn’t know I needed!
Haha, fab stuff! :-)
"I hope that feeling never leaves me" - It won't Gaz- it never gets old! Been gardening for 40 years now! Each season is different. Enjoy!
So true!
I just got my 1st allotment last August 22. I'm in a cloud 9.
Yes! totally agree
My partner is not a plant person quite yet and I'm ending year 2 of gardening, and he is forever impressed with me for growing pounds of produce on our balcony from seed in a lot of the plants❤
That feeling can never go away. It's in your blood if you feel this compassionate about it your first go at it. And you'll never stop learning something new every year.
It’s lovely to hear someone so joyful about their work and what they’ve grown and harvested ! 😊
When Gaz said he never imagined at this young age he would this happy in his greenhouse, very wholesome
This is one of the most wholesome videos I’ve seen on UA-cam
This was so wholesome. I feel so relaxed after watching this.
When Ben greeted the chicken" hello darling" it melted my heart. What a beautiful thing to say ❤
They were such lovely chickens - very curious animals. It's great that Gaz has given them a new lease of life. :-)
@@GrowVeg 🥰🥰🥰
what a lucky guy to have the happiest gardener on the internet visit his garden.
Well I'd say Gaz is probably the happiest chef - so I was equally blessed! :-)
The purple sprouting broccoli needed Huw Richards' face to pop up for a second. 😆
This garden is lovely. Aubergine and Courgette are so much nicer sounding words than eggplant and zucchini.
Haha, indeed! :-)
I absolutely LOVE seeing content creators that I follow on each other's channels! 🧡
You guys gave us the collab we didnt know we needed. 2 fine men who are great in their gifts.
I really like your energy Ben. I bet you're really good in drawing out introverts and making them feel comfortable.
Thanks so much, very kind of you to say. It was such a joy filming with Gaz - a really nice bloke!
❤ hey Gaz! This episode made me happy and smiling! If I weren’t happily married, I would come to Wales and bang on your door 😊 I don’t think you will ever get tired of your garden or stop feeling happy in it , greetings from Sweden by the way 🇸🇪
Love Gaz. Thank you for having him on
"I went a bit crazy looking at seeds at the beginning of the year". Welcome to gardening mate. haha
So true! :-)
For anyone feeling discouraged about your garden compared to Gaz's. He's had a lot of help. He didn't go from being a chef to a master gardner in a few seasons. He had help to create what you see. He didn't do it by himself. He didn't know about what certain plants needed, soil preferences, etc. He had extensive help. You'll get there. Keep learning and growing.
I just love Gaz
So wholesome, so calm, so beautiful! Can't wait for summer to grow my basil and then make icecream as well! Purple basil would make the best color!
I reckon purple basil would be awesome in an ice cream! :-)
This has made my day! Two of my favorites together. The smiles, camaraderie, and shared joy of gardening warms my heart and gives me the impetus to continue with my garden. Loved especially the discussion about rescuing chickens, learning about the cola plant, nondairy ice cream (basil no less!), and tales of garden hopes for the future. Delightful and inspiring. Thank you both.
You put exactly what I’ve felt into words. What a great video!
Same here, this is great stuff!
Thanks so much for your kind comments, it's really appreciated. It was a real joy to film.
agreed. 💚💚

Lovely garden. And Gaz is just so adorable 🥰
What a charming and enthusiastic person. He's very special
Fabulous, well done Gaz.
That feeling never leaves you my friend :0)
:-)
Everything looks spectacular.
My heart smiled when you said I hope the feeling never leaves me. The wonder and awe of seeds growing, of witnessing nature’s abilities has never left me ! Congratulations on reconnecting with nature!!! What sn amazing garden!
It certainly is. 😀
I have been gardening since I could walk following my grandmother around the home garden. The feeling of amazement is food for the soul. Thank you!
I am GREEN with envy.
This is the loveliest, most heartwarming and inspiring video you've made yet!
What a WONDERFUL video!!!
Ben this was such a pleasure to watch! Gaz is a remarkable gent and I enjoy watching his videos as well! I was especially touched at Gaz' rescue chickens-- A complete WIN-WIN!!!
He's a true gent, definitely. :-)
Ben's stepping up his game 💪
It's nice to get out and about and have a nosey around other people's gardens for sure!
The best channel ❤

Wonderful
And I love the way you show the Garden Planner for each area. Nice touch and really helpful! 👌
Thanks so much, I'm really pleased with the way that was done.
That feeling won't ever leave you Gaz; at least not in my experience. Delightful!
This was so wholesome and beautiful

Its funny when these stars get together and geek out on each other. It really breaks the illusion that they aren't just people.
Hermosos esos paisajes 😍❤️
Gracias! :-)
Oh this is so exciting! What a great collaboration! 🎉❤
Cheers Antonia! :-)
Beautiful
What a treat , watching you both wandering round the garden in such a beautiful setting, Gaz’s crops look amazing especially that beautiful beetroot. Thank you so much for sharing .
It was such a treat to be shown round his garden I have to say. Such bounty and variety in there.
Loved this content! Thanks to you both. Gaz's excitement is Infectious ❤
So pleased you enjoyed the video. Gaz is such a nice chap!
Great garden and wonderful chat! Thanks!
Great to see you with Gaz. He’s just so lovely and has great recipes even for non vegans to enjoy. Fantastic collab.
He's such a nice fellow!
First Huw, now Gaz. Love it!
Those zuccini flowers look wonderful. I once grew zuccini /courgette but didn't have success for some reason with the fruits, so decided to focus on the flowers. I harvested them here and there, stuffed them with a rice based filling and pan fried them. They were a real treat. Vegie Gardens are hard work but absolutely worth it, no matter how big or small. Thank you for sharing this garden.
They really are so worth it. Gaz is growing some incredible stuff!
Gaz bringing out his Achillia fact, he never misses the opportunity! Love the video, what a crossover, 2 amazing channels.
Thanks so much. Gaz is quite the dude!
@@GrowVeg Your welcome, love your content, please never stop!
Yet another great colab. You both have a strong shirt game!
Haha - yes indeed!
Thank you, very enjoyable 😇👏👏
Fab collaboration, I've been following Gaz for a few years on YT so it is great to see you together 😊
I love this community
What a lovely garden and young man! Thank you for taking us along on your visit!
Two of my favourite channels come together 💚... 9 years vegan, and i started my allotment this year 😊. 🌱
Just wondering as to why Gaz has chickens if he is a vegan? I'm a vegan too and hope they are just rescues.
Great job starting an allotment. Hope you're enjoying it! :-)
Yes, the chickens are rescues. He's saved them from the slaughterhouse and just gives the eggs away.
@darrenbailey27 some vegans rescue chickens and feed the eggs back to the chickens, with the shell, to make up for loss of calcium because of intense egg laying. 🤍
@GrowVeg I love it, only wish I had more time. I work in the care system, and am planning on cutting my hours back 🙂
So lovely. I love Gaz's enthusiasm and wonder
