Writing from nightshade world capital .. Mexico. For those who don't know how to lower the hot kick out of chilis... the process is don't cut off the ends. Slice carefully along the sides. Remove all the veins from the slice. The yellower the vein, the hotter it will be. A jalapeno will now be as mild as a capsicum pepper. If the meal is too chili hot, add some vinegar, salt, tsp sugar and when served add olive oil. For anyone who has an autoimmune condition, all nightshades need to be peeled and deseeded or pressure cooked to lower the lectins (Ref. Dr Gundry). This includes tomatoes, eggplant, tomatillos, potatoes, chilis. Lectins are plants' defense against insects.
I can never understand why you'd ever get ANY 'dislikes'.. perhaps people are just pissed off about life and the natural process of it! Very thankful of your time and kindness here. Well done, once again Liz
Just binge-watched some of your vids. So much brilliant info and loved that they are presented month by month. I’ll keep returning and learning. Thank you!
Great Video on such a wet gloomy day with the nights drawing in. It used to annoy me how gardeners world stopped for the winter as if the garden goes to sleep, so thank you for keeping the garden ideas going throughout the darker months and keep our spirits up. Heather Isle of Wight
Hi Heather, yes it irritates me too, but I guess those presenters and gardeners need a rest too. I plan to keep going throughout the winter as per usual 😀
Lovely video. Liz, every video you look younger and healthier...in your early videos you seemed to have high inflammation with the tell tale signs of puffy eyes, taut skin on the arms, and sluggish movement..but now with all your hard work, nutrient dense food, spirit lifting paradise garden you are looking so good. You are an inspiration giving hope to many. I wish I had access to so many seed varieties that can survive the extreme temperature swings and oxidating stress of the desert conditions. I've ended up pampering foraging weeds to ensure something edible. I often laugh that I will put a plastic tote over a patch of mallow and dandelions so they will survive the freezing dawns.
Wow, there is still a lot we can sow in November...cool to know.🙂 Liz, I'm praying you will have a great winter season emotionally. I suffered from depression from age 6 to my mid-20s before Jesus healed me. I'm now 55 years old and have never had another bout of depression...not even with the passing of mom, dad, grandmother, father-in-law, step mother-in-law, a miscarriage, etc. The Bible says whom Christ sets free is indeed free.🙂 I pray the same for you.🙂
Just got gifted some elephant garlic by my allotment neighbour.. had no idea it wasn't a true garlic. Great video (must watch again closer to November) 😂
You could still get it into the ground now and it will give you some harvest this year. My November is might have started to dry out too much to be of much use 😃
Truly enjoy your videos. I always feel that I've learned something, and your positive demeanor leaves me feeling as if I've been able to spend a few minutes in a garden after a hard day's work.
Thank you Lizz. I am working on growing more and more, even. In the inter. My next plot gardener, couldn't believe I still wanted to sow anything as it's the end of October. I have row covers, and am looking forward to growing these.
Just discovered you and really enjoyed how informative this has been. I am trying to become as self sufficient with what I grow and your list of November planting has me inspired. Thank you.
This time of year for you is pretty incredible, Liz! Your climate allows for so many wonderful things to be sown! A great line up!! I'm sure this has helped so many new UK gardeners, especially those who've only recently started growing!! Their gardens will be filling up all over again! Lovely to see you! All the best! 😊~Chris
Thanks for dropping by again Chris, yes we are very lucky with the amount that we can keep on growing throughout the year. I've been delighted to see how many people are now growing their own food, it's fabulous!
Since covid, I think gardening is only going to grow.. no pun intended! It is a delight to see people taking their food safety and food security seriously! Your videos and book will serve only to help them do it well and enjoy doing it!! You're a blessing, Liz!!😊 @@LizZorab
A little early for chillis unless you are planing on growing them completely under grow lights. Best started like chillichump does under grow lights or very sunny window in January/February/March depending of variety!
Good video, Liz. I am going to use your suggestion and grow peas in rain gutters. It will keep them away from the animals and allow me to move them if necessary. I will also give cress a try. Perhaps a type of land cress since it is warmer and drier here in California than in the UK. Thank you for all the tips for a successful winter garden. Blessings.
I have the hardest time growing dill here in Florida. I will try to grow it inside over winter and see if I can get it big enough to move out in the spring 🌱
I planted elephant garlic for the first time. Very excited to see how it goes. We get snow and ice in the winter and have been getting freezing temps early this year so can’t plant anything else. Looking forward to spring already. Thanks for sharing Liz!
Wow I had no idea that you could sow so much in November . Thanks so much liz I’ll have to watch this video a few times and take notes 📝 xx 💝💝 also I do love rhubarb I’ll have to get some crowns
@@LizZorab My neighbor is giving me some he’s got lots growing in his garden . Very sweet elderly man who loves to garden xxx thank you for the suggestion though xxx
I really enjoy watching your video's Liz, I am new to planting seeds and garlic in winter, but they are all coming along fine under the cloche of my raised bed I constructed, your smile and the calm way you give us some of your knowledge is top notch! Many thanks Liz!
Trying garlic and onion for first time this year! Love the inspiration Liz, watching you for about a year and have learned so much. Feeling better and pounds lighter. Bless you and Mr. J. Stay safe.
I absolutely love your videos. They are so informative and you are such a wonderful conversationalist. Thank you for all your sharing and teaching. I am also crazily in love with your farm. It is such a lovely place, so peaceful.
Hi liz, I really enjoyed your video. Today I was very busy planting my onions and garlic. I didnt realise i bought so much so i will be busy for another day or two lol. I am also busy planting my spring bulbs. This is the first Autumn I have ever spent gardening and it is really surprising how much you can do. 💞
Hello Liz: I have just eaten a nice vegetable soup for lunch made with Greek Giant beans which I found out about on your channel .... delicious ! Even better than the lima beans I wish I could grow here in the Pacific Northwest but that have never done well for me. After a hard time finding the seeds, I finally got some planted and they grew very nicely. Thank you !! Love you channel and the way you garden. Cheryl
Hi Liz, tried to pre-order on the rest of Europe link. When it comes up with the button to "buy now" it links to a different book, "The Forager's Garden" by Anna Locke. Looking forward to this being rectified so I can order.
A fantastic video, I’m new to doing RU-vid your video is amazing!!! I ask do garden as well as some veg many thanks for this video Iv subscribed and looking forward to further videos.
Robbie, can I ask you a question about potatoes... People advice that you should grow potatoes in bags larger than 5 gallons. Do you get more potatoes in large bags? The large bag the more potatoes? Does it work this way? Some garden bloggers advice 30L containers. They say that it is an optimal bag size for growing potatoes...What do you think?
Li Liz, I love your videos but it is a pity your book won't be arriving until February since I would have loved to have bought a few copies for friends as a Christmas gift. Keep up the good work !
Hi Nikki, if you'd like to contact me via the website, I'd be happy to organise gift vouchers so you have something to give to friends and the book can be sent as soon as it's published.
Another excellent video, thank you! So much to plant in November. We get colder overall in winter I think than you, yet we can see 70 degree days sometimes. I am experimenting with some lightweight fleece on hoops for a few degrees protection. From zone 7 in southeast USA. Cheers and have a blessed day.
Hi Liz - warm late-season greetings to you and Mr J - hope you are both well and 'safe'. You mentioned slugs in passing. I've found that this wet mid-late season has been a field day for slugs which have messed up my celery crop and have loads of other chances to do some real damage. How have you coped? Yet another good vid - useful, informative, unpretentious, wise. Thanks, dear lady. You have shaken me out of my 'Phew, it's all over' stance to getting on with some worthwhile jobs. All the very best - Paul
Hi Paul, slugs - I'm not investigating too closely so I don't have to be horrified by how many there are! We didn't get out into the garden much over the weekend, that weather was more than a little inclement. We needed to muck out the duck house, so dashed out between heavy rain and spent half an hour sloshing around in ankle deep mud - it's pretty grim out there just now.
Very helpful, Liz! Hello and thank you from me at plot #22 in Coventry at the Stoney Road Gardens Association. You always expand my thinking! How do you use elephant garlic....same as normal?
Hi Liz, Love your channel. Can I ask for some advise please? My son's getting married next August and would like loads of Sweet Peas in the barn he's having the ceremony. What really fragrant with long stems varieties would you recommend and when do I need to start? Many thanks, Alan x
Hi Liz, I bought some blackberry seeds off the net, but the seller never gave me any instructions in how and when I should sow them? I am new at gardening as my wife is not able now, so am wanting to grow fruit that are good for her! Many thanks Liz!
Hello Alan, in nature the last of the blackberry seeds would be dropping to the ground about now (in the UK). If it was me, I would wait until spring to sow them in pots so that I could monitor how they are growing. I've never grown blackberries from seed before, so I'll be interested to know how you get on.
Thanks for the great info as usual I started my broad beans aqua dulse and Sutton variety in modules in a good quality seed compost. Hopefully to plant out once they are a good size .my question being is that ok to do
Hi Stephanie, all the info like zones etc can be found in the video description, but for quick reference, we are in the equivalent of hardiness zone 8 (although this only indicates the likely lowest winter temperature).
I should be out in the garden right now, mulching my beds, sorting out the mess that is the strawberry patch and many other things. But it is freezing and wet out there so instead I am sat inside watching your video, trying to get some sewing done and cuddling the foster kittens that go back to the adoption centre tomorrow. Sewing and kittens are not a good match.
Oh dear, no they don't go well together, but what a nice way to hide from the horrid weather. I knit when Monty is around and he chases the end of the knitting needles - it's not very helpful of him!
Liz Zorab - Byther Farm I like knitting too and crochet but it is too hard to hide from the kittens. I can hide my hand sewing in my hand or under a cushion until they fall asleep. I have also been learning bobbin lace this year and I have to do that standing up with my lace cushion on a music stand.
A quick search on the net says that The Sutton dwarf fava beans can be sown September through to May (I think May is very late to be sowing them, but it looks like you can wait that long if you want to).
Thanks Liz, just ordered my onion sets & garlic bulbs, I had part of my garden set up in a market garden style but I’m not a fan so putting in some raised beds instead.
Ooh that's interesting, what didn't you like about the market garden style growing? It'll be interesting to see if it's the same reasons that I have reservations about it - although I will keep going with it as I'm just too tired to make yet more raised beds.
@@LizZorab i found that even though it looks good & was easy to access, that the stronger weeds still made it up at the edges and looking at the long rows that needed to be done was disheartening and overwhelming to make a start on, at least with the raised beds you can set yourself one at a time to do!
Hi Liz. Informative video...am trying to grow couple cauliflowers and broccoli and garlic for the first time at this time of year. The seeds have sprouted but not a lot of growth as yet. Are we supposed to feed along the way. First time growing during autumn/winter and find their a lot slower growing than earlier in the year..is this to be expected
Hi Gail, yes slower growth is normal, the light levels are lower so the plants make food much more slowly. Feeding - you probably don't need to feed if the plants are in the ground, if still in compost in trays you may need to very lightly feed if they start showing signs of going pale and struggling, otherwise just leave them to grow on gently.
Hi Liz. I grew purple sprouting broccoli but no sprouts yet. If I cover them what do you think the chances are of coming through our southern Ontario winter?🤷🏻♀️
Hi Jayne, I'm so sorry but I have no idea what your temperatures and how long your area remains sub-zero. It might be worth asking Serina over at You Can't Eat the Grass as I know she's in Canada (although I don't know where exactly she is).
@@LizZorab well, it snowed yesterday and the day before. Not a lot, and it melted right away, but enough to make me think it is time for the light box again.
