My sister grates them & freezes, then uses them to make zucchini muffins, zucchini jam, and zucchini chocolate cake, as well as adding some to various casseroles to increase nutrition. As for your dogs, have you tried cooking the veg? My parents used to grill winter squash and the barn cats loved it, but had no interest in eating uncooked squash.

Do you ship to the United States? Thank you.

the last batch i did, i put in the freezer for 15 min to get it a little hard, it was easier to handle

We might do a video on preserving courgettes over on our homesteading channel if people are interested? :D

You can diced them, vacuum and put it in freezer to cook in winter.

Get yourself a juicer & juice the excess, its a good source of hydration with little calories.

Eat them smaller😉

Hello Martin, I love willows and making willow structures, but I have been advised that a living willow arch will damage the foundations of my house, causing subsidence and breaking water pipes. You seem to be an expert, and I have so enjoyed your videos, I wanted your opinion of the matter, considering all your experience. What I have heard from friends has so worried me. Many thanks in anticipation of your reply.

I apologize to the worms too. It's to the point I will postpone projects to avoid taking out a spider's web.

Buffalo New York thank you for doing this

Could these be grown as a perennial in usda zone 4 where winters can get down to -30F? I’m having trouble finding info on their hardiness.

Would love to do no dig garden tutorial on site, so please up date when you can book. I already preserve a lot, but would like to start pressure canning, can you let me know where I can purchase from the USA? Looked at the canning training on your sight, but sadly missed out.

Interesting! Oerprei literally means ancient Leek. I never heard of it, even though I am from the Benelux myself. Will definitely look more into it!

Great advice

Martin, I've been googling willow "how to" videos and none covered my query. Then i found yours. Brilliant video, demo, descriptions and advise. 👍👍👍

Wow!

What is the model of your seaflow pump please. Cheers

What is the mod No of your seaflow pump please Cheers

Excellent! 🧄🧄🧄

Your garden is unbelievable, so impressed. I only started growing this year. Your kale is gigantic, where can i get those seeds, im growing nero also and its nowhere near as big. Great to see an Irish grower giving such great advice. Ive subscribed. Ive been looking for an Irish grower just so i can compare growth and timing especially with our weather.

You are SO right about not eating garlic right away - I tried one extremely small one while clearing a bed and though I didn't vomit, it was a very close thing. Not fun! I'm curious as to whether I'll get 2 weeks of sun in the winter to cure my Jerusalem artichokes... But let's hope.

Is elephant garlic a perennial in all climates? We get down to minus 35 F/-37C and our frost line goes down four feet/1 1/4 meters.

The elephant garlic i got from your shop, planted august or september, not sure anymore, but they were massive bulbs, i was completely flabbergasted. And a ton of corms also! So will plant out a lot so i can increase the yield tremendously next year. They taste just a tad bitter when eaten fresh however making sauses or baking them removes almost all if not all, the bitterness. So far i understand you sell a very good strain as i've been told they are normally much more bitter. So, thats all just great!

I harvested a crate of garlic from the bulbs you fave me last year myself. Great stuff. Did you chop the tops ever on the three year ?

0:04 I said wth in my head when I saw this clip (I had bad luck growing garlic this year)

How do you suggest curing in places with a lot of rain during the summer and no greenhouse? "A few weeks in the sun" isn't really a possibility where I'm from :/

NOW HOW DO YOU STORE THEM AND HOW DO YOU COOK THEM?

Cool ❤thanks for sharing ❤😊

I went to get my wax out to do my cheese, and it had black mold on, will the heat kill it, or should I bin it plz

The garden is looking fantastic. I hope to go on the next tour! 🙏🏾🫛🥬🥒🧅🌽🥦🍆

Sorry I missed the live stream

Great video, awesome ....thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing, another great tour. Would love to see more of your willow arch, what it takes to maintain etc, thanks again

I hadn't realized how many tubers each plant produces.

Taking the plunge and going investing in a pretty large polytunnel this year ( thinking 60x18ft ish) I wonder who makes/supplies the best tunnels in Ireland? I want the best my money can buy and I'm unsure who to go with.

Looking great, Martin. 'Sticky Mickey' has to be my favourite name yet for that plant. In Kilkenny we usually call it 'Sticky Back' or 'Cleavers', which isn't nearly as good. Look forward to visiting ye at some point.

You mentioned that bindweed grew up your teepee & you let the chickens into that area. All of my research said that bindweed was toxic to chickens, did you have a problem with that, or did they avoid eating it and just scratch it into the soil instead?

The weed with the pink flowers is probably Great Hairy Willowherb. Some kind of Willowherb for sure. I think they are pretty and let them grow in my "wild flower" areas.

I see from your video that your electric fence touches off the ground. I had heard that it was best to keep it off the ground to prevent the current leaking to earth. Am I missing something?

As I start watching I see you've had 54 views, but only eight likes...so for those who read comments, HIT THE LIKE BUTTON!!!!!

Edible paradise. I wish I wasn’t so far away to visit. Thanks for the virtual tour 🤗

Just stumbled over to your channel. I think it was from a Kale video you did a few years ago. But I'm here over in MS in the USA and I agree with your findings. A lot of this stuff should have incorporated into our lifestyles. 👍🏽👍🏽

So I’m a new sub,.. are you from Ireland? I am in the US southeast area. Temps here are 90’s-110 often in the summer. This will continue until fall/September. I only have a fig tree… and blueberry bushes. My vegetable garden is phasing out right now.

Where are the pretty flowers

Such incredible sized leaves in such a short time! Your soil is very healthy and happy, in turn providing your family with abundance of health! So great. I just made 6 1x3m garden beds this year and only properly started my compost pile this year, so will be adding a good layer of compost onto them at the end of the season. For now am applying liquid fertilizer and mulching with mowings. Everything is healthy at least, no damage from pests at all. I made a video of the property by the way, if you would care to see it I could send it to you :)

Bellissimo questo giardino 😯😃👏👏👏♥️!!!!

I am confused. So do you dry it and use it like garlic? Or do you use the tops like leeks?

Great video . I planted out a few varieties of sweet chicory and endive to try as perennial lettuces. I was surprised that even now they have not gone bitter. What varieties of these do you grow?
