      Personally i felt like you gabbled your way through and need to double the time or half the amount and make 2 shorter ones. At the end,you are talking at your normal speed and so much easier to understand,for me any ways.
      The information is important but lost in the spreed.

      @@HuwRichards Huw, I was drawn to your videos because of your demeanor, the professionalism and seriousness you exuded. I discovered you when I began gardening couple years back as a result of the covid pandemic. I LOVE to cook and bake and absolutely abhor dining out in restaurants so to me my garden is a life or death situation. My health is my life! Mental, emotional, physical...
      My garden is a no phone zone, no cell phones allowed. No smoking allowed. Peace tranquility and love. That's it.
      Your videos are perfect (to me). No need to tweak anything or change the length. I enjoy the mini-movies with my coffee tea or cocoa. 😉
      Look forward to the next Saturday morning video.
      We love you Huw. ❤️

    I love this format. Despite the majority’s resistance to this break from the norm, I think you could use it 4 times a year ie the start of each season. It gives so many things for people to think about prior to each season and then you can back up the most important ideas with a further,more in depth video!

    I actually liked this A LOT. I think changing the format based on the materials you are presenting is a good way to think about it. Sometimes I'm interested in watching beautiful montages of someone else's garden; sometimes I'm more interested in the tips they're sharing, as was the case here. For lists like this, the quick, succinct style is perfect. For times when you're going into detail around a specific method or technique of doing something, a more leisurely approach could apply. Thanks for mixing it up for those of us engineering types who appreciate a good list! 😁

    Did you take more time to produce this shorter version for us 😉 It’s a fun video, sprinkled with funny moments. Thank you!If I get to vote, I’ll go with the longer ones. Your fans will want to hear more from you, but these might draw newbies to your channel. A mix is great 😊

    No. Gardening is about time and patience. Perfection in nature can't be rushed. Huw, keep it smooth easy and sexy. Don't change. Don't rush. Patience is a necessity. Especially in the garden. Slow it down again. ❤️

    Huw, I was worried that you were going to have an anxiety attack trying to keep the videos short. Just do YOU, Huw, that's why we are here!
