Gaz Oakley is an accomplished chef, popular RU-vidr, author of several cookery books and now a gardener. He recently moved from the hustle and bustle of London kitchens to a rural homestead where he's growing his own ingredients.
Join Ben as he visits Gaz's garden, discusses the challenges of growing a variety of interesting crops and exchanges top tips for growing delicious produce and using it in the kitchen. This video was recorded in July just as many of Gaz's crops were starting to reach harvest.

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.

@ReallyGottaTap 11 месяцев назад

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.

@HotPotatoGardener-HPG-143 8 месяцев назад

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.

@darrenbailey27 11 месяцев назад

Just wondering as to why Gaz has chickens if he is a vegan? I'm a vegan too and hope they are just rescues.

@GrowVeg 11 месяцев назад

Great job starting an allotment. Hope you're enjoying it! :-)

@GrowVeg 11 месяцев назад

Yes, the chickens are rescues. He's saved them from the slaughterhouse and just gives the eggs away.

@helenev160 11 месяцев назад

@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. 🤍

@helenev160 11 месяцев назад

@ayuvanjava2071 11 месяцев назад

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.

@GrowVeg 11 месяцев назад

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. :-)

@GrowVeg 11 месяцев назад

@Uplift2023 4 месяца назад

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.

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.

Loved watching you both interact!!!!! Great gardening ❣️ Don’t believe everything you’ve been told about chickens. I have 3 hens that are nine (9) years old and they lay eggs daily,year round!!!! I have hens from 3 months old to these older ladies… all except the 3 month olds all lay year round. No heat lamps. They free range daily,I supplement with layer crumbles and a bit of scratch grains. I fasten them up at night to protect from predators.
