    G'day, Everyone! Thanks for your ongoing support and for taking time out of your busy day to watch my videos. Liz has a fantastic food-oriented property, but remember, you only need a little space to reduce your food bill significantly by growing your own at home. You don't have to be self-sufficient in everything - just be self-sufficient in something... Cheers :)

      It would be great to have a version in Russian, the health orientated cuisine is a sort of a craze here, in Russia. People are leaving towns and searching for fresher air and organic food. I'm sure, your channel would be popular ❤

      I like your use of biodiversity to keep the insects, birds, and yes, pesky squirrels going. The squirrels spread the seeds, as do birds.
      Maybe one day the bigger farms will grow a diversity of crops and we'll all benefit.

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love how that dear sweet lady takes the animals and insect into account and is okay with sharing some of her bounty with them. I do the same thing in my raised bed and ground gardening. I mostly do raised beds now. I switched to raised beds because the deer here are prolific and it was a battle between them and the bird life. I still give up my blueberries and strawberries and dogwood berries to many of the birds but there's only my husband and I so there's plenty to share.

    I am an Aussie living further west in Wales than this lady (the same county as Huw Richards) - and I now have massive polytunnel envy! Especially as that one looks so strong and sturdy. My tiny PT got trashed by the gales last winter and thanks to that, and this year's crappy, non-existent summer, it meant I got hardly anything compared to the last couple of years. Especially tomatoes (not many), zucchini (not many and very small) and 0 cumumbers. It was really disappointing.. Loads of beans though, eventully (the slugs kept eating the seedlings..), and tons of alpine strawberries - and lots of garlic. And I have to say - iit is a great comfort to discover that it's not just relative newbie gardeners like me who have herds of slugs and snails invading their garden.. I give mine flying lessons - over the fence. But their extended families are massive - as are some of the slugs.. I can't bring myself to squish them as they are fascinating creatures - but they sure are a pain in the backside! Wales is great for herbs though., I have comfrey taller than me, loads of sage, 3 kinds of mint, lemon balm that is part triffid, LOADS of very enthusiastic borage, huge fennel that comes back every year, parsley, coriander and more.. When you come back to Wales, come further west!! Thanks for sharing the joy, loved the video.

    • @ninemoonplanet

      I "collect" those slugs in a container after dusk, before dawn, then put the out just after sunrise for the local birds.
      The birds now watch for me, and swoop down for their slimy breakfast.

      True though, to English people 100 miles is an almost unimaginable distance. To Londoners, Nottingham is the distant and vague North (it's a two-hour drive). Wales is practically off the map (Here Be Dragons). Living in Europe changes your perspective a little bit. It's because Britain is so densely populated for such a small country. Go to the next town and it's a world unto itself, they even often speak with a different accent.

    After WW2 in the UK we had a lack of Vit C problem . Boffins at that time found out rose hips had massive amounts of Vit C.
    The UK Government set up a company called DelRosa after WW2 and DelRosa vans used to travel up and down UK collecting rose hips from Children and pay them per pound .They gave out enamel badges depending how much you gathered .The crop was then turned into DelRosa syrup and was available free from children's clinics .You could also buy it .I used to love DelRosa as a kid but mum would only give us a table spoon full after we had a table spoon full of Haliborange which was also free from children's clinics . Haliborange was orange flavoured halibut oil and high in Vit D .This was a time when the UK Government worked for it's citizens .

    I live a little further south east from this area close to the other end of the Brecon Beacons, I would love to have 4 acres but that wasn't to be. It really is a lovely part of the world to live in.

      We moved here from our last home near Chepstow three years ago. I certainly miss the drier climate of east of the Brecons!

    I love watching Liz and what she does! I live just East of her in London! 😜 That did make me chuckle but for context the time it takes me to drive to NW Wales, i can also be in the Netherlands!
    Shame she didn't hook up her mic but an excuse to watch her videos, which are lovely. She lives in a valley so does get affected by heavy rain, which we have had a lot of this year and it has been tough on them and us as UK growers this year.
    When you say fruit fly is that the same one we get in London or do you mean something else? We get mozzies here too. We have had a terrible time with fungus gnats due to the mild winters and high humidity.
    Rosehips are great for making ketchup too.
    I thought you might like Liz's wine collection! lol
    Isn't NZ meant to be more like Wales in terrain?
    These past two years have been great for soft fruit and runner beans here in London, UK, due to the cooler, wetter weather. Also our best year for growing sage and thyme in a terracotta herb planter. Trying to grow coriander (cillantro) and parsley atm. It gets cooler and then goes back to average. It's not been above average this year atm, so might be in with a chance! I normally have to buy starters.
    Liz suffers with SAD like i do, so must have tough on her her going out doing a tour on a day like that.
    What i find interesting about watching YTer's in the UK and globally is how diverse the weather and climate can be, even from just down the road from us.
    We are so early for autumn this year, after a late spring. We got blight at least 4-6 weeks earlier this year. SE England has been so much wetter and cloudier this year. Hopefully that means we will have a colder winter and maybe even some proper snow!
    Thank you for showing us Liz's homestead!

    I used to wish for a milder climate but every area has its own set of issues. A least here I can grow a banana, my favourite fruit. Wonderful garden tour.

    Good to know about sweet cicely. I'll try to grow it in fall/winter. Here in south Texas we are semi-arid with lots of heat (it's 35 Celsius 95F right now for the high).
    You have a boot jack! I haven't heard what we call them here, but we have them and boot scrapers cemented in by the porch steps, too! Thank you for spending part of your vacation recording for your followers, too! Such a wonderful garden! Nice to see you Nina! Enjoy yourselves and best wishes!
