I was stationed in Wales in the late 70’s. I grew to love the people and the accent. My friends are always surprised when I call out a Welsh person by their accent. They ask me how I know. If you know, you know. It’s in your heart!

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate the short intro. Some of these videos on gardening, they spend the first 5-10 minutes on their life stories, and I'm all "I just want to know how to grow better tomatoes!!" Again, thanks.

Perpetual Spinach, a member of the Chard family, is one of my favorites this time of year. All of the regular spinach varieties bold to seed as soon as the warm weather hits, but the Perpetual Spinach will grow and produce all summer long.

With all the ongoing food shortages, I'm finding it practical to not mow my lawn this year and neither are my neighbors- or use Roundup on the weeds with all the wild garlic and onions and dandelions - food all around us, edible plants aplenty through the wonders of organic gardening - using eggshells, banana peels and coffee grounds. I'll bet at least some of those weeds would make a nice salad - accompanied by some nice pan roasted sunflower seeds . Plus, by not running a lawn mower, or using pesticides, I'm contributing less to the waste stream helping to preserve our precious planet. We're also leaving a couple of vacant abandoned houses alone - so that we can forage from those yards as wel

if you sow the coriander/cilantro in a very shaded cool area where it only gets AM sun and dappled sun the rest of the time you can prevent bolting. I'm in zone 8A South Carolina and I thought growing cilantro here after trying to grow it in full sun was impossible until I tried growing it in the shade where it can be a good 15-20 degrees cooler than the sun and am finding it likes the cooler shady environment I've created for it.

Beautifully filmed. Inspired now in Northern Wisconsin to go outside and continue working on my garden. New property this year so starting everything from scratch on a shoestring. Thanks Huw.

The way he inspires is amazing. I watched him garden and started wanting to buy a piece of land in the valley to make a garden like him! thank you ! I have learned a lot of useful things

Brilliant, just sown parsley, dill, carrots, spinach, coriander, and purple basil. I have tomatoes, strawberries, beetroot, spring onions, lettuce , potato, peas, climbing beans and sweet corn ! This is my first year really really going for it , I have made mistakes but I'm loving learning so therapeutic , my garden is tiny but using space as best I can. Can't wait to grow garlic and more potatoes , wish I had room for brassicas. I have also made sure I have plenty marigolds and pollinator flowers. Love your videos thank you , also started my own mini compost system wish me luck x

Courgette is great to bulk up homemade vegetable soup. A bunch of carrots, some celery, leek, brocolli with a few courgettes is delicious. It's delicious in stews too.

I could probably stand to think about putting more things in the garden although feels like I'm still doing the initial planting. Sheep might have been making noise but what a cool site to see!!

So basically now is the time to start cool crops from seed is what I got from this video. Thanks 😊

Your videos are so incredibly enjoyable to watch. I've been trying to learn what I can grow in a small apartment and your videos are very inspiring!

I absolutely love that those root crops will grow perfectly well together in a cluster. Those turnips were beautiful! I don't care for them either, but that was just so neat to see. The same with the beets.

Wonderful- I was just lamenting my late start this year and this video has restored my enthusiasm to get planting! Also thank you for reminding me of turnips. I got a bit of cabbage root fly larvae in mine a few years ago but before it got all icky I did enjoy making turnip fritters, which were very tasty and I would recommend anyone to try. I used The Kitchn's "How to make fritters out of any vegetable" recipe.

I'm growing most of these. Cilantro/coriander and fennel came back from seeds that dropped last year. You inspired me to plant runner and bush beans with your other videos and your recently published book. Thanks!

Thank you for another great video and the encouragement you give that helps me to keep trying even when I have some failures. Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛

Thank you for helping me not feel so behind in my plantings! I've been sowing most of the same seeds here in Oregon this week! A bit later than usual, but nevertheless we shall keep planting and harvesting! Thank you for all the wonderful content! 🌱

THX 4 rapid messaging on many plant varities, not just droning on to fill up time on your vlog and say stay tuned 4 next weeks vlog on x,y, or z plant. Great work, keep it up, love no in vlog commercials! G_dspeed Mr. Richards!

The radish pods are amazing. I discovered them this year.

Your garden is so beautiful! So excited to try my chive flowers, thanks for a great video 😁

Your gardens are amazing! Like a forest of food!!

My mother usually grew turnips and I loved them. Some are nicer than others. The Snowball variety to me was usually the best. When you get a nice perfect juicy one, they're great!

Love self-seed vegetables. Winter is here. I grow cold-weather vegetables such as beetroots, peas, kale, and silverbeet.

I am completely enthralled with gatden envy for all your videos

Peas, sow them in june or plant them?

Great time to start sowing for the winter too... Will be getting my baby leeks ready to plant out 😏

This is one of my most favourite videos of yours. So so helpful. Thank Huw!

I quite like fennel as well and I’ve grown a bunch this year. The problem is that you can’t plant it next to much else. It prevents other plants from germinating, cross pollinates with dill; generally the anti-social stand-out in terms of companion planting.

Another brilliant video, Huw! I would have never thought of sowing more peas-but now I will as we love them so much!

I've been sowing Celtuce thanks to your last video about two years ago, I really love it, it lives through a big part of summer and yields big amounts of leaves. Plus bolting is a good thing because the stem is super nice stir fried with some (vegan)butter and sesame oil.

Turnips are a favourite of mine!

I'm looking in to these Kalvedin Wonder, I absolutely love peas but thought the sowing season was over :)

Your garden looks fantastic. Unfortunately here in the west of Northern Ireland we have had awful weather. Everything is struggling in the garden as there hasn't been much heat yet and too mych rain, but I keep persevering on. I am now away to see what seeds I can plant now. I thought I was too late, so thanks for this video .

Thanks Huw you have given me loads of scope for my college vegetable plot keep up the brilliant work

Loving your videos and your charming self!!

Was searching this topic and you produce a fresh video. Awesome! Thanks!

Your channel is a godsend. Today I was blessed in actually finding over half of your 15 choices so I'm delighted to hear you say there's still time to plant them. In N.E., MT our ground thawed late so I'm truly praying my purchased plants & seeds take off to the best of their ability. My Mum strawberry plant's doing well thanks to your advice & her offspring runners are looking lively too. I've a perfect Basil plant & my Bee Balm's on steroids. We had a good rain on Sunday, it was a perfect day to drop my Mammoth Suns into the ground....I even gave a few to the neighborhood kids. I've almost finished weeding the area I'm dedicating to my yams & fingerlings. They're growing roots everywhere already. I haven't seen Turnips or Tomatillo in the store till today. The butcher had NO clue what a tomatillo's purpose was, so I had a mini lesson w/him. I have grown them from the store in the past, but that was in the South. The turnips have greenery which is something I've never seen. I can't find plants or seeds here so I'm wondering if anybody has ever had luck planting the tops....if so, how??? Cheers, ~ Covah

Omg😲while watching the video get inspired and decided to start my own gardening in our little and dark balcony, I hope one day find a place like you have and have a garden like you have🙏thank you so much for your enthusiasm🙏

You are a great gardener ,you have a beautiful garden and your soil looks so rich,that made your gardens grow so well.

I like how your June crops are my November crops in Texas

Great video, I’ve never heard of some of those vegetables. I’d love to live next to a field of sheep how wonderful ❤

There"s also a perennial kale for US zones 6-9 that can be propagated with the side shoots.

great video! took it as a friendly reminder to get on top of the planting more herbs:)

Turnip can be enjoyed with traditional Chinese way of using salt to draw out the water from shredded turnip and then add chili power and other spices to cure it for a few weeks. The result is magnificent with porridge or stir fry with meat etc.

I got 8/15! Will see if I can add a few more on this list. Thank you.

Thankyou Qld Australia old-school fella thanking you for reminding us 😅

Great info! Thanks 🌱🥕🥬

East TN here and I’ve learned to give cilantro some AM sun-and shade the rest of the day. Then I keep the succession plantings coming! Same for dill, chard, spinach and lettuces.

I am continually inspired. I think I'll go plant some more seeds. EJK from🇺🇸

Excellent recommendations Huw!! You never ever dissapoint! Thanks for sharing.

Always a pleasure... All the best :)

Dill is my favorite! Cilantro too. Too darn hot here in Texas for it to survive in anytime but winter, maaaybe early spring. 😞

Ugh I'm jealous of how good the ground quality is, ours is really heavy clay soil and we probably have to dig it all out and start anew

Ace video mate!

I'm cooking some beets, that I harvested last fall, right now. Beets that have been stored a long time takes a longer time to cook though. Turnip, like summer squash, is best picked small. They can get really big, but the taste gets strong.

Great video, thanks. I'm off out now to buy some more seeds! I'm new to vegetable gardening and I've picked no dig as the method to try and it's going great. The thing I'm struggling with though is properly planning the succession planting so this sort of video is really useful.

Have just bought your Veg in One Bed book. It's totally fab. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

The turnip tip, very valuable!

Courgette I now plant on a small mound about 10 inches high. I find the leaves last longer as they are dryer. Good advice, as usual. Thanks for the vid

Hi richard I grow my spinach seeds in pot and once there 2" i separate and put in ground 3" distance there grow bigger and all winter i still use and coriander i also sow them in pots as you said in different batches dill is my favourite thanks for sharing and am your new subscriber 😁🇬🇧👍

I keep thinking I'm about done with planting, then someone reminds me of the things I've forgotten or gives me a good idea. Great vid ty! 👍

What a wonderful garden you have. Thanks for your expertise! :)

I always grow about three packs of bush beans and I never regret it

I was just waiting for a new video!

Your videos are so very beautiful!! Thank you so much!❤

another great video thanks Huw x

Thanks for another great tour of ideas!

Got dill and dawft beans..... Never grown them before but nan said they like the beans so will grow them for her. And may try them myself.

Started watching Huw a few weeks ago and I love those videos just like Huw loves beans xD

Hi Huw, greetings from across the pond. We love all root veggies lol. My kiddos love roasted turnips, rutabagas, radishes and beets. We're about to start our second sowing of vegetables. It's been hot here( zone 9a Texas). Happy gardening.

Would love to hear about what you do with all the food you grow (apart from it been the families dinner) 😀

Such a different climate in the UK. I live in Calgary AB and we don't really plant anything out until the 3rd weekend in May! If its a very warm spring you can plant a few hardy early crops, but they won't do much as the nights are still so cold.

Amazing advice, cheers mate. I'm getting a new garden soon and can't wait to see what next year will look like there!

Wow amazing video and very nature view

Thank you Huw, great suggestions to extend my growing season, Ian

Your videos inspires me to have my own kitchen garden, thanks for educating people about cultivation of greens in small area 👌 this is the requirement of time as the greens sold in stores are heavily laced with chemicals😰keep up the good work 👍 Cheers Rohit Upadhyaya India

Could you possibly include some recipes for these lovely veggies? I've never cooked chard or kohlrabi!!

Hi Huw. Thank you for sharing millions of great tips and ideas in your channel. This year I begin to step out of my comfort zone to set up an edible garden. Your every video give me lots of knowledge. Thanks for being one of my guidance in my planting journey. Planting is so fun and discovering how the eco system works together is too amazing. Dear Huw, please continue to share more of your garden ^.^ In addition, may I have a question to you? What is your climate and temperature at your location? Million thanks again ^.^

Huw, you absolutely rule man👌🙏🤟

If you've got critters attacking your legumes, I recommend placing some netting around them (for rabbits) and planting boatloads of alfalfa elsewhere. Alfalfa is easy to get as a bag of sprouting hrains cheap. They attract critters more than your other legumes (in my experience).

Really enjoyed the video, such great info and production. So curious about your best fennel growing advice!

I just love your garden, so fertile, so productive all your root vegetables are big unlike mine

Beautiful garden.

Hi, can u plz make a video about stam lecctus? How you sow and grow from beginning? Thank you very much!

Woow 😱, wonderful, i like gardening to you boy♥️

That came just in time! Thank you for al those useful tips

Thankyou for the info x

Great tips Thank you

What stage of the season is June for you? I am in Florida in the United States and I'm basically middle of summer now lol ,but I love your videos for inspiration for the next season

Gracias,

Brilliant, you have just answered my planting questions for June. Such a slug problem here in Southern Ireland any tips ?

Another great video! Thank you 🙏

So right about Turnips! They are tastiest when harvested small. Try making shab deg with them if you eat meat :D

Thank you 😊

Very interesting

Thank you for doing this video!

thanks Huw

Turnips are good cut into strips and cooked in the air fryer like French fries.
