My husband said if I put a dollar in a jar every time I said “ Charles Dowding “ I could quickly afford a big enough garden to feed a small country 😂

I am green with envy, watching you harvest in the middle of winter, while my zone 6a garden is burried under several inches of ice and snow. Thank you Charles for sharing your wealth of knowlege. Because of you, I changed from doubble digging to organic, no dig several years ago. The only regret I have is not knowing about it 30 years earlier, when I planted my first garden.

Hi Charles, I'm in Wales and we get a lot of rain here, around 2500mm (compared to your area at around 708mm) . Have you heard of anyone having problems with such high rainfall and the no dig method of just laying compost on top (especially as a lot of the land here is quite sloped). Many thanks for your videos they are very encouraging and informative.

Mid west Canada - we have a blizzard here today. A very cold weather snap on it's way- maybe minus 34 Celsius including windchill. I'm dreaming of gardening until April or May. I'm enjoying watching you do what I love. Thank you.

I love how honest and transparent you are, Charles. Thanks for the update.

In my area, we are getting ready for the coldest month of the year. In February we can easily get to -10F (-23C) at night. I watch your videos to daydream about when Spring will arrive and I can get outdoors in my garden again...Thank you for the great content.

I am getting a education in bed and it's fantastic for when I,have enough energy in the morning to work in my small garden thank you.👍💐🍀🌹🍓

I love to see your gardens in action. I think my favorite part of this video in particular was "I'm still learning." I hope to always be open to still learning. What a boring life it would be if you ran out of things to learn. I began no-dig gathering last year when my tiller broke and I couldn't fix it. Now I plan on never owning another.

Thanks for the effort you put into these videos.... living the dream!

Love your thoroughness and the way you anticipate questions so we don't have to ask them. Like the flowering spring on the rocket, my very thought was is it edible. Then you slipped the little comment in there saying it is indeed edible. Thank you.

Gordon Ramsey has the most superb recipe for swede soup - it's on KZfaq and it's the sole reason i grow swedes... This is such a great project.

An old time saying in my area is, “February 1 is half your meat and half your hay.” Hence halfway through winter! I can still see Santa’s sleigh tracks in the deep snow! Enjoying your beautiful gardens! Thank you for your great works!🌱

Love to see the progress on the garden! I can confirm that even with a smaller garden you can get a lot of veggies out :D

Our previously quarried, stony 1 acre field (FULL of creeping thistle and common hogweed) has really benefited from your methods over the last 12 months Charles. I will have hopefully created about 65.5 square meters of no dig beds in time for spring, more than doubling last years area, and I’m really going for it this year. I’m determined that my propagation game will be strong 💪🏼 Thanks again for sharing the knowledge 😊🌱

Lambs Lettuce! Such a wonderful nutty flavor and cold hearty plant, they survived -20 last winter under two-layer of cover. Amazing!

We had a rainy 60 degree F day here in the Midwestern US, so I got out and cleaned up my garden, started a compost pile, and added to it from the chicken coop - all because I've been watching your videos and I'm now inspired to do things your way. Thanks for the education!

I'm itching to get started with the new season.

I've learned so much from gardening. For example, with your comment about the veggies being "dense food and not watery like from the market"... Normally I would have thought you were comparing your swede/rutabega to something like a corgette/zuchinni. But now that I've tasted home-grown I KNOW you're meaning a watery version of the same food. Bell peppers from the store make me want to cry, they are so bland and watery! Can't wait to have them from my garden again this summer. Thanks for all you do. I've got a couple of your books and they are a fabulous resource!

I so appreciate your offhand comment about not leaving decaying plant matter as that might encourage the slugs. I've been reading a lot of permaculture materials lately and was considering a chop and drop approach. I hadn't given any thought to how that might affect slugs. I find that you encourage a lot of good critical thinking in your videos, and I think that's really quite special. You teach us new ways to think about our gardens. thank you!

Amor puro para ese gran hombre .para su amada y respetada tierra ..Amor del bueno...

For us snow bound folks these videos are a welcome sight. Keep them coming. :-)

Amazing as always. I cant wait to get down the allotment again this year.

I love You Charles Dawding ARGENTINA 💪

Thank you again, Charles!

Happy New Year! Looking forward to another gardening year and applying what I’ve learned from your videos in the past year! Thanks for all you’ve shared. 😃

Brilliant , you,ve done really well ! Lovely to see what you do :)

Thank you for highlights of the small space! I think most of us viewers are in the position of wanting to garden but not having very many square meters to work with so it's very inspiring to see so much veg coming out of such a small space. For example I only have 3 beds totalling about 4.5 sqaure meters. First year growing so hopefully I can expand that

Another wonderful and encouraging video. Thank you, Charles!

Another brilliant video!

Awesome work!

Beautiful!

Very nice Charles always everything you plant is beautiful. I’m still working on my compost to build my no dig garden. Thank you for your video it such an inspiration.

Cracking! And very inspiring.

always looks great well done

Great video as always!

Thanks for the upload Charles, another interesting video. I like the fact that you trim the roots off as you go and leave them in too.

Thank you, again most useful!

Your gardens always amaze me.

Good work, Charles's..👊😎

I really enjoy all of your videos. Nothing but consistently good content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, especially when things don't turn out as desired.

Great video. Thank you for all the info.

I really enjoyed that video it was good to see the timings for things how long you can keep them in storage how long they can stay in the ground etc. Good to know when you're learning the ropes.

Inspiration :) This year going to plant my own dense food :)

This is my dream 😀 for now I kill even cactuses 🤦🏻‍♀️ one day though 🤞🏻 well done!!

Thank you so much, "I appreciate the videos."

That's awesome! Thank you! Happy New Year!

Your the sunshine man !

Happy New Year to you and yours, Charles! Love watching the year's progress in your Small Garden ❤️

Ooooh lambs lettuce! I need to find a source for these! They look like an interesting addition for my garden. Cool way of growing kale!

Well done Charles, from just a small area a lot of veg and lots of different types too,Thanks again your updates are super.Cheers Jimmy.

You are most inspiring

Miss your vlogs and your garden plants as well

Very interesting and inspiring

I've got lambs lettuce in the greenhouse, broad beans, onions and garlic growing. Next year I will do more as it was a new garden. Could do with less rain, as I'm sure you are aware as I'm about 5 miles away. I have a few peas in the greenhouse but they are weedy.

We love watching your videos. You are such a calm and gentle teacher. Your experience and skill are an inspiration. Thanks!

Wow...all that harvested from that small space...

you are helping me so much with coming to grips with planning harvests for as long a growing season as possible. Thankyou.

Looks great. Good job. Im looking forward to 2020 season. Best regards from denmark.

Thanks for sharing

Love this small garden. Great perspective to see what you can grow in such a small space :)

You're an inspiration! Thanks so much for your insights :)

Excellent video!

Thanks Charles. Always a pleasure watching your videos 🙂. My allotment is starting to take shape thanks in part to you & your advices...Hope all is well for you. Take care 👍

I love it

This is really wholesome, i enjoy your content. :=)

Sooo looking forward to having more winter crops this year! At the moment I have 2 leeks, a couple of borekole(?) plants, one Cavolo Nero and some beetroot. Oh and my first yar full of dry beans, wonderful! But potatoes, onions, more leeks, winter salads etc...yup lot's to wish and plan for. Thank you again for another inspirational video!

I'm a simple man. I see a Charles Dowding video, I click. :-)

thank you!

Good idea

I've never tried overwintering Spring Onions, Charles - cheers! Great video! Steve

I am learning so much. As I build my garden this winter I find myself dreaming of my garden and what it can become thanks

Magnifico video, igual que todos los suyos!!! Gracias.

The compost make the diference!! Hermoso trabajo el suyo Sr. Dowding...

Watched all the videos, done the online course, read all the books. Roll on 2020 and my first ever time growing food on a half sized allotment 💪🏼 I’m copying Charles to the letter and hoping for the best! Thanks for everything Charles, the gardening people out there love you #FanBoy

Super beautiful garden and we love your vlog Amazing

In the south we've barely had a winter so far. I always reckon that February is the worst month for snow. I never bother storing carrots and beetroots, they're both hardy. I just cover them with straw and pull them fresh.

Charles, thank you for your instructional videos. I read through your veggie diary last night and am anxious to get started. I'm in zone 7b USA where we had a horrible, long, dry summer 2019 and totally overrun by weeds (and volunteer zinnias - which wasn't that bad, except, it was out of control). Discouraging year, indeed. Raised beds installed end of summer. Adding some free-form beds using your no dig method for this spring. Excited to give this a try. Weeds be damned!

Parece mágico , pero la realidad es que es resultado de conocimiento, dedicación y paciencia-- Gracias por su vídeo

I've been watching your video's this past year and you've greatly inspired me to get the veg plot really filled up! So naturally I ordered your calendar and book and will be expecting masses of harvest ;) Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience!

Spinning and spinning... KZfaq is acting up again tonight... will watch it tomorrow, hopefully

Lovely time of the year for us to on the plots ,we're not to far from you (Dorset) onions popping up, potatoes starting to chit ,parsnips still being dug and the days are getting longer. Have a great gardening year.

I agree with you on the side shoots, they're not worth the space.

This was just so awesome!

I have to tell you, I really do appreciate that you mention what was harvested before, what was in the second harvest, if that makes sense. This yr I'm going to watch your videos again before I plant, that way I can have early veg an later planted in the same area. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for the video. It is a pity that we have a slightly different climate/atmosphere. We don't have winter this year. Greetings from Poland.

gorgeous. I want to weigh my veg next year, but I'm not sure I'll keep up with it! I fear that's the task that will be forgotten when the season gets busy.

Just had 48C here in Aust ( near Sydney ) - gives new meaning to sun-dried tomatoes ... but Kale and other Inter planted greens underneath are still doing ok - as inspired by your vids 👍

Compost is Life! ;)

Oh Charles, i wish I was able to teleport myself to your garden. Here in Atlantic Canada there is no such thing as a winter garden. God bless

Que lindinha sua casa! Amo tudo isso. 🤔😌🍀🙌

Hello .👍👍👍sir I inspiring harvest...

Amei sua horta sou aqui do Brazil eu também amamos plantar♥

The spinach looks to me to be two different varieties. different leaf shape, I don't know the word for the "bubbly kind of surface vs the smooth. That said... you got more spinach than I have been getting. Getting more excited about this coming growing season... keep me encouraged =)

nice

Very nice upload.❤️ I'd like to have a garden like this.❤️ Nice and small. Love it. A new friend. Stay connected.

First video for 2020! Happy new year to you and your beloved ones ❤️✨🍏🥕🌶️🍋🍎🌽🍈Also to your viewers 🍉🍓🍋🥝🍍🥔🌾🥕Thank for your efforts and care towards ecological gardening. It is a bless for everyone to be able to pafticipate in your courses, no matter what the level of participant is. With deep respect, Happy New Harvests!

I was thinking about you and your garden how it's doing

Small plot Lessons to be learnt.

Gosto muito de plantar.

Charles, one year in, having read and re read and made notes of two of your books and watched every single video on YT and practised in the field) Successive and progressional sowing isn't sinking in. ie: You follow outdoor tomatoes with x, I'm never growing tomatoes outside (year 2 thoughts!) even less than 200 miles down the road from you! Please, please please can you do a book (UK first mind!), charts probably. month by month, what to sow indoors (multi choice and note multi seeding), planting out (new or inbetween) when and what it will replace/under storey (multi choice.) I know it sounds a lot but I really think it would be easy for you if your team could come up with the format and it would save my brain ache! I know it sounds prescriptive but I don't think I'm alone in wanting that to start with. The current online thought of getting your successional et al planting suggests three years. Heck, do I really need brain ache for three years when you ached yours for more than 40?! Ultimately. it could be a Dummies Guide. Just a thought ...
