I grow far more bugs than food. Your garden is awesome.
-
Your advice is pure gold. Keeping my family very well fed. Thanks for looking out for the little people.
-
I bought your book just to support you, though there's no way I can pull off that garden on my own little scrap of suburban yard...but my dad SNATCHED IT when he saw that I had one, so perhaps your knowledge will be utilized very soon in central Kansas, thank you very much 😄
-
I actually plant kale in the spring and it feeds me through winter. Then in the spring I pull it and replace it with something else. Kale is such a wonderful vegetable.
-
Having eaten most of what I tried to grow this year, my slugs are grateful for your advice... But seriously, thanks very much. I'll try some of these.
-
When in doubt, I know I can check out your page to gain wisdom for my garden concerns! Many thanks from a farmer in USA!

Pretty sure you already know this Huw, but for anyone else loving fennel: It is possible to succession sow your fennel. In Stockholm Sweden I sow in april and june. I might not get big bulbs every year but I am happy for anything. This year I have tried celeriac as a succession after garlic. This should not work in my climate but if I get bulbs the size of beetroot I will happily take it.

I love that you said there were going to be 10 crops but you sneaked in many more! 😂 So helpful! I'm a biggg fan of paksoi in stir frys as well
-
Oooh, first here :) hello :) Good to see things to sew bearing in mind the very wet summer we've had so far. I'm in West Wales too, and everything is all over the place in my garden, this gives hope! :D
-
Cant wait til i have a house where i can grow a garden. Love what you have!
-
What an amazing channel, and website. Not to mention your book. Thanks for all your hard work, and the desire to share it 💚
-
Huw your channel is so helpful. I live in Zone 6 on Lake Ontario in the US. This year I took your advice and planted Nystertium and the cabbages between them have no bug damage. The Cabbages outside the Nystertium in fact have bug damage. Thanks so much for the great advice and awesome channel.
-
Love your channel and book. I've learned so much. Could you show us how you organize all of your seeds? And how do you store them? I keep a small old refrigerator just for seed saving in my barn. Works great but a bit disorganized inside. Any help (or videos) much appreciated. From Kansas USA.
-
Thank you Huw for sharing your experiences and hard earned knowledge with all of us! Much appreciated! Blessings Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
-
Thanks for telling us the list starts at 1:20 before giving ur announcement. Thoughtful and considerate!
-
Excellent advice as always, thank you, Huw. I always thought that August was too late to start anything, so will rectify that this year!
-
Thanks Huwe, found this very informative. I have kale and collard greens in already. Planted more carrots and beets and have gone for another crop of onions. My herbs are planted separate barring the basil which helped stopped the slugs stop eating my runner and french dwarf beans. I will look at doing more of that mixing of herbs with the main crop, it pays. Your garden is looking rich with produce and your soil luxurious. That I am still working on.
-
Thank you so much! Some have been staples for me as well, for decades, but others were a complete surprise. I'd never thought of sowing dill or coriander in August, for example. I'll definitely try.
-
Love this advice as I'm getting gaps where I'm harvesting crops. I absolutely love planting in the small bare spaces and being able to have fall crops that way. Thanks!
