Metal raised beds, cold frames, seeds & more now available at my brand new garden centre🌱 huwsgarden.com

I love veggo garden beds! I have 10 of the original 4 in 1 modulars. 2020 wasn't a good year it left me with a parting gift of breast cancer that I dealt in 2021. My wonderful husband made sure that I had an incentive to fight for( I did ). Glad to say I'm cancer free. My garden partner of 36 yrs has started our fall garden prep and getting ready to plant beets, carrots and whatever he can grow he says. Happy gardening everyone.

I'm proud of my cat for resolving my rabbit problems. I'm grateful to my duck for eating my slugs. I'm grateful for my dog who keeps bigger predators at bay. I'm grateful for the crows who happily protect my chickens from Birds of prey. I'm grateful for my chickens for their butt nuggets and 💩 for the garden. My home is an ecosystem of love and protection. Invest in your ecosystem of love and protection.💗😎 Agree with you on amaranth. The seeds are used as sprouts in our home year round.

Hi Huw, Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have an Amazing recipe for overgrown Zucchini, you should really try it. Grate it like you would cabbage for sourkrout. Great some carrot, garlic, or shallots, add dill, and some black pepper. Salt like you would for sourkrout, squeeze a little lemon juice and mix well until it starts to create its own brine. Pack into a vessel, crock, or jars and put a few thin sliced lemon rounds in as you layer and pack it in. I usually Ferment it at room temperature for about 2-3 weeks, and then put into refrigerator. It's crisp, refreshing and goes so well with fatty meat or starchy foods like potatoes. I eat it raw to retain the good beneficial bacteria. Hope you try it. Mike

Sunflower stocks, dried, can definitely be used for a substitute for bamboo stakes. They're strong enough to take fairly heavy producers like large variety beens, even some of the smaller melons/gourds.

That Amaranth is such a showpiece!

You can do the beans in the sun flowers by following the 3 sisters' method! Squash sprawling throughout the sunflowers and pole beans.

It’s called companion gardening look into the 3 sister methods, us Indigenous people have a lot of knowledge because despite popular belief we weren’t majority nomads

Picturesque. Art of Permaculture. The Structures. The Colours. Each scene is worth to paint...

You can use sunflowers in a 3 sisters planting scheme in place of corn

The aerial view of your whole garden is breathtaking :) Huw, your love for your garden just warms my heart :) You refer to each plant with tender reverence..... how can they not grow lovingly for you :) What a joyful tour of your garden :) My sentiments for my garden are equal to yours. Life is a beautiful Blessing when we work along with God's Mother Earth and She gifts us with a bountiful harvest. Thank you for your Love for Gardening and sharing that Love with us :)

I hope you will have videos on how to grow salad in cold frames over the winter !

Your gardens are soooo amazing. I love the look of them. So lush and full, but still organized and under control. So charming.

I have a similar situation where beans are climbing up my sunflowers, which were unexpected volunteers in my dried bean patch. I did a big experiment this year with a 12 year old bag of dried bean soup mix that I brought back from Italy. I was able to germinate probably 10 different varieties of drying beans from that unused souvenir. I am very excited to see what happens at harvest time. I have had amazing luck with Persian cucumbers this year, so crisp and delicious every time. And my garlic bulbs are as big as my palm! Sorry just a little gardener to gardener bragging! Cheers

Wonderful discovery about beans growing up sunflowers. I will definitely try next year!

What an absolutely amazing garden! So far this year my beans and cucumbers were a FAIL. Even the tomatoes were such a disappointment, but finally ended up with a small success with my bell peppers.

I love kale. I eat it raw, cooked and make into dried chips. I also crunch up the dried to put in my smoothies.

Great catchup thanks Huw , I left a few leeks to grow on as you advised and the bees loved them great idea !

Parkrose Permaculture has a video on grating and freezing courgettes flat in bags. I thought it was an efficient use of freezer space. I'm enjoying watching Angela's videos. As they are in Portland, Oregon the planting is similar to that which would grow in south Wales where I am. I wish I had the money to buy some of those raised beds!

Incredible kitchen garden! Thanks for sharing. I am in the process of transitioning from the summer beds to fall planting, and busy preserving fruits and vegetables for the winter. The winter carrots and rutabaga are already planted and starting to sprout.

Superbly beautiful garden, Huw! I know how much hard work you have to be putting into it!

Great video, I am very curious about the edible ornamental border experiment, so I’m looking forward to it🌸🌿

Something about the scene at @4:27 reminds me of an Henri Rousseau painting.

Your garden looks amazing

I love nature. I planted some new apple trees in tubs for my kids this year. I then popped in some French beans and they’ve climbed the tree and produced which is lovely and now I’ll have some nitrogen returning to the tubs aswell

Your garden is lovely! My garden is too small for Amaranth, but I have a low growing Celosia variety that is just stunning. I love your idea to trellis pole beans up sunflowers. I will put this to use next year by growing beans up my bucket of Jerusalem Artichokes. It’s always a win to figure out how to fit more into my limited space.

For zucchini, I recommend you try: 1. veggie spread, with roasted and peeled red peppers and tomatoes, grated zucchini and carrots, then saute onion, then all of the veggies, with a bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste. 2. zucchini, carrot and onion with mayo salad. Grate or small cube, then boil and drain the carrot and zuc, add raw onion, finely chopped, and mix with mayo. 3. zuc, yoghurt, garlic and dill salad, where only the zuc is cooked, the rest is finely chopped and mixed. You're welcome! :) I'm now going to get more zucs, didn't have enough to try chips in the dehydrator...

Love it, just love it! Amazing garden!

Beans next to sunflowers is a great idea! Definitely worth to think about :)

Mind blown🤯

Can’t wait for fall.

Beautiful as usual. Thanks for reminding me of the Amaranth. I just built a raised bed for cut flowers. I think I’ll try some there. Gorgeous plant. So excited about your store and I look forward to hearing about your surprise.

My garden this year was a fail but you keep me inspired to keep going and next year try something else. Awesome video 🌻🍁

Looking great Huw, you're always so enthusiastic it really helps motivate. Will be putting some vigo beds on my winter purchase list... And the glaucous blue on those leeks is gorgeous... Real sign of autumn coming 😏😁 Keep up the good work mate 👍

Lovely garden, very inspiring to new gardeners like me 😊

Congrats with the garden centre! How exciting!

I like your green raised beds a lot!Hope to find them here in Italy! thanks x your videos 🤩

You are very inspiring & everything is so beautiful 👍🏻🌱✨ Thank you for sharing 😊

Hi Huw, great video thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

Very welcome back with another useful video

Delicious visual treat. Thank you Huw for showing your kitchen garden and inspiration at the end of a very wet Summer here in NC. Helpful and beautiful. 🙏🏼

I would love your recipe for courgette soup please.

Love this video

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖

Loved the view of your garden. So beautiful.

I'm so thrilled to hear your approval of Vego beds. I just bought one and am setting it up tomorrow, God willing.. I am using Hugo or Hugely culture to build up the soil over winter in WNY to save money also. Thanks for all the info.

I got one of those raised beds for my mom this past summer! I didn't realize you had them on your website though! And some of the other enclosed beds I really need to check out!

Thanks

Nice garden

Living in Bristol…outdoor cucumbers do really well😀

Danke!

Lovely video, as always. And that amaranth is gorgeous. I think amaranth "popcorn" is absolutely delicious, better than corn popcorn. And they're such beautiful plants too.

Huw, come to America and help me build a garden like yours.

Have you got a recipe for your courgette soup?

Wow the garden is looking amazing and that amaranth sure is pretty!

You must be further north than me in Weston-super-Mare. My polytunnel cucumbers seem to have picked up a disease. The leave look like they are dying. Im gowing some out doors now.

03:00 beans growing on sunflowers: look up the native American technique called "Three Sisters".

Amaranth is a reseeding annual. let it go to seed and it'll pop up there again next year. one issue is where I live is red rooted amaranth. it is a native plant that I have to keep away from my love lies bleeding amaranth if I want it to reseed.

My beans just now started growing right as the sunflowers I planted as their support are dying. Season is so hard to get right here.

Love your videos..... very to the point and informative. It's obvious you share many of the same passions for gardening and soil health that I do. Just have a question regarding the metal raised beds you mention. Just wondering if they are bottomless? I would imagine you wouldn't even have them if they didn't. Keep the great videos coming!! Thank-you.

❤️

The same thing today in my Canadian garden, a nip in the air. Fall is coming. Sigh.

From Italy beans impossible to grow this year was too hot

Nice... good jop

Hi Huw, I’ve had my first small poly tunnel this year and it’s been fab. I’m just curious as to what else you will be putting in yours besides salads. I want to make sure I’m using it as much as possible all year round.

What is the variety of that outdoor cucumber? I reckon it might be good for Northern Ireland to grow. Looks like nice pickling, fermenting variety.

You should watch Kevin at Epic Garden. I think ya'll should talk about raised beds.

I haven’t looked into the metal raised beds because of the heat. It gets so hot here. I imagine plants burning up in metal beds.

I'll be starting my garden this next year in zone 8a, I"m curious if you have any specific recommendations on where to get the best quality seeds? I hope to seed-save myself after I get the garden going but want to start out with some really high-quality ones! Thank you for everything you do! You're making gardening seem so realistic and fun!

I’m new to gardening and trying a lot of new vegetables- Florence fennel to be one. I have read that it’s not great to plant with many other vegetables- what do you recommend? I read it produces something that kills off other plants. Thanks. Great ideas here!

Does anyone know if Huw has considered doing an online collab with that gentleman from Oak Abode? I’d really like to hear them share thoughts and ideas about permaculture (particularly the potential pitfalls and where things kinda go wrong). I’ve been quite lucky so far except for a bit of mouldy compost (too damp).

Do you eat the amaranth leaves? They are delicious and nutritious.

What is to stop different bean varieties from cross pollinating and therefore throwing out seeds that are anyone's guess(Heinz!) variety?

Aren't the flamingly colourful leaves of Joseph's Coat (Amaranthus tricolor) edible, and used in cooking? ;P

Hi Huw, do you have any thoughts about using metal containers in hot climates? I am in Santa Barbara, California and it only rains in winter and can get very hot in Fall. I have wondered if in metal raised beds the roots of plants would get burned? Thanks for your thoughts on this. Lori

If you don’t mind, can you please share your zucchini soup recipe?

Huw...I like the idea of these metal raised beds...the descriptions aren't clear! 17" tall but what width and length? thank you.

What variety of amaranth is shown in this video? It's gorgeous!

Birdies beds are great and a little cheaper.

Do you have issues with squash bugs or Cucumber beetles? They are on destructive spree in my garden in USA this yr 😞

Huw do you ever net anything?

Can you share your zucchini soup recipe?

hi ... i made all my beds mixed and lost all the beetroots, radishes carrots as they all had wonderful green luscious tops not a bottom part in sight... what did i do wrong....here in Australia i used the Bunnings veg soil mix $4. mushroom compost and chicken manure bags all from Bunnings... used seasol as a fertiliser the plants cost a lot ... waste of money

Where do you get your seeds from?

I cant catch names of plants you mention in min.4 (after dill and amaranth) those cute tiny leaves. Could you tell me please?

What zone are you in?

is that the 3 sisters growing method from the USA indigenous peoples

How come Huw your brassicas have not been decimated by the cabbage white caterpillars ? They don’t look like a butterfly has laid any eggs in your garden. Wish I could say the same about my garden , the cabbage white is everywhere. 😬

If it's anything like ours, your amaranth looks like it will have already seeded a ton for next year whether you like it or not 😂

Huw, the language we use needs to change around what we think we know re; dis.ease. It's decay, not dis.ease. Plants at the end of their life start decaying, and for so long we've been using this language that isn't really correct. Yeasts and fungus are all part of that decaying process, and the bacteria (MICROBES) come in as a kind of bacteriophage to eat up the potential pathogenic agents. It's life and it's amazing 🙂

I WANT THEM LEEKS! Wat are they called Hugh or anybody are they LEEK BLUE DE SOLAISE ??? Thanks so much!

What is the bulb at 4:35

How many people manage your garden? There is no way 1 person can do all that.

Ahhhhhh Huw!! The products don’t ship to Canada!😡

My corn did well. Sadly the birds agreed with that

Duw, Huw, diolch yn fawr iawn! Dafydd ac Ann x

Hurrah for fall gardens! Question about your sunflowers and fennel: have you experienced any allelopathic issues with either of these? There's quite a debate going on in my online gardening circles about whether to interplant with them.

The most incredible crop is a raised garden bed ad? I don't get this.

dlaczego Pan nie tłumaczy na jez polski . Bardzo lubię pańskie filmiki ale niestety nie wszystko rozumiem

Your wild area that you're going to clear out looks like it might have giant hogweed. Be careful!
