Is it worth it? Even with how tough of a growing season 2024 has been? It absolutely is worth it - more than ever before!

I got rid of the lawn in place of raised beds and pots and troughs. So no mowing and now beds full of veg, flowers, herbs, wild flowers, and a garden with shrubs, fruit and nut trees, fruit bushes, my own compost, and therefore plenty of wildlife and insect life. Priceless on so many levels. 😊

Watching from Denmark zone 8a. I love what you said in the beginning. I am on my first serious homestead year. New house, new part of the country, left family and friends behind, no farmers in our families, born and raised in the suburbs of Copenhagen. My life's challenge. The best ever despite every obstacle. Nature's abundance is emotionally overwhelming ❤️

Half the reasons I garden is to get outdoors, get a little exercise, interact with nature, add a little beauty to my day, learn and have fun. I don't always produce useable harvests, but I never regret a single second of time or money I spend gardening. Its the journey, not the destination for me.

every time i go out into my garden i say "i am so rich." i may not have anything impressive in my bank account, but just being able to go out and grab a bowlful of raspberries whenever i want to makes me feel like a king.

2 peaches, 5 Victoria plums, 7 cherries, lots of apricots, blackberries, loganberries, a few blackcurrants, raspberries etc, etc. Hardly self sufficient but, one day, I might be

This was a brilliant video Huw. Even if the world goes completely mad (we're close) .. Nature can always bring us back. Getting rid of your TV helps too!!

I absolutely love the idea of calling commercially grown vegetables "chemical vegetables"!

Me and my partner started our allotment this year and we’ve had so much food from it already. Many failed crops, all our carrots got eaten, but we replanted and now getting some out the ground already! Thanks for all your tips and tricks!

I love that you're taking about this important topic. One of the ways of controlling people is by controlling access to food. Nurturing your own food supply is giving you a little bit of autonomy. And you're right; trust in supermarkets is shaky & deservedly so. Have a great week Huw & thank you 👍

Gardening is therapeutic and grounding, and it's always worth it.

You are 100% right! I am gardening since 30 years now, and even so, I was so proud, when serving my lunch today: Kohlrabi-Schnitzel with potatoes and salad - all fresh from my garden. I never lose this feeling of eating something very valuable, when I eat my own food!

For the sake of convenience over the last 50 years or so we we’ve lost an awful lot, we are being served edible “stuff” that lacks nutritional value with the addition of pesticides that are probably the main cause of many health issues, the lack of nutrient dense food that nature provides to our diets is something that people sometimes ignore Well done Huw your spot on thank you for bringing this up for the attention of your viewers

I have planted green beans three or four times and the local rabbits are well fed. We have hit the HOT and STEAMY days of summer. So far my garden has given me peas, onions, garlic, potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes and cantaloupe. Forty jars of pickles, food in the freezer and more to come. No green beans, but the garden is still giving me so much. God bless y'all and keep growing.

First year gardener here, very encouraging to hear that I'm doing well, despite many failures this year 😌 ... I'm honestly just so happy that I have a garden now
