- Charles Dowding, Harvesting. For a full tutorial of growing vegetables the no dig way, with few weeds and a full garden, see my online course where you get access to hundreds of photos and exclusive videos please go to charlesdowding.co.uk/product-...
For more information please go to charlesdowding.co.uk
going back to watch all the older videos is my nightly education and entertainment! love this channel !
Welcome back Kory!
This series is so good it should be on a major tv network.
Well thankyou
But that would ruin it!
Yes PBS would be a great option with a wide reach!
The no dig method needs to be covered more on weekly TV eg Gardeners World
Agreed! Thank you @@CharlesDowding1nodig for sharing your knowledge with us!! It is very much appreciated and valued!
Your love for what you're doing is infectious. Love your videos so much!
Thanks nice to hear
Everywhere2 y
Yes indeed. Love your work Charles
You are a very charming man. I like how you emphasize the vegetables and not yourself but it actually highlights what a calm, positive and kind person you are. I've learned a lot from you and appreciate your videos. Your garden inspires me to grow more, and better, veggies. Thanks!
Nice of you to say and glad you feel inspired Barbara.
❤️
👍🏻thank you so much , you inspire me to change my garden 😄
Mr. Dowding your videos are incredible! I have learnt so much watching your channel. Your videos are so informative and it is amazing how you explain everything so calmly! Thank you for your videos and for sharing your knowledge and love for growing vegetables. lots of positivity your way
Great to hear Michael, thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge and experience with the rest of us. Your series of tutorials has been very illuminating...
Can't have enough of seeing your garden and hear your peaceful voice, sir. My dream garden!
Many thanks and I hope you can make a beautiful garden
Love the music and editing in this, great video full of excellent content as well
It’s no wonder your plants grow so well. In addition to your TLC, they have some great music!!! 😉
😀
Thank you for sharing your experience with us through these films! I have to admit that reading the books I was a bit skeptical and now I can't stop being amazed at your glorious success!! As a beginner gardener, for me the most helpful is to hear you explain what and when to plant.
Thanks Caroline, this is helpful feedback for me. Timings of sowing and planting certainly make the difference.
I could watch you for hours Charles, great tips thanks for a great video keep up the good work.
Your knowledge of gardening is so extensive and it's lovely how you share what you know. I'm always inspired by you. :)
Thanks Sandi
I love the way u opened with glimpses of all the lovely flowers and beautiful fruits and veggies! So inspiring 😁
I'm so glad you liked that
These are the best gardening videos ever! Thanks so much!
Binge watching all of Charles videos, wow, this is true wisdom
Thanks Alex
@@CharlesDowding1nodig No thanks to you, sincerely appreciate all of the information, I did some semi serious cultivation last year but am now using your knowledge to progress things with the space I have. Have been sowing in the past week and absorbing all of your tips, I'm very grateful. I'd love to know about your diet if you'd care to make a future video
Just finding your channel... How do you not have more subscribers... Amazing and thank you! Please keep teaching/sharing
Thankyou Daniel, and subscribers are increasing steadily at least
Seeing you tucking into that melon brought pure joy to my heart! Thank you.
Oh my word, the melon looked absolutely scrumptious. Another wonderful video. Thank you!
Cheers Gayla
This channel, all the information and beauty that it conveys is just stunning. I'm never tired of watching your videos. Your garden is a paradise.Thank you very much Mr Dowding, best regards from a much minor grower in Brazil.
What a lovely compliment, thanks, I find it amazing to be helping people so far away
Thank you so much Charles. You videos are both enjoyable and inspiring. I appreciate all of your hard work and your taking the time to teach.
Glad you like them!
I just want to say that I have never experienced seeing a beautiful garden such as yours in my life! I live in South Texas on the sandy coast. Very poor soil. All these years, I wondered why I could never grow anything. With your videos I learned so much about the soil and how important that is. I had to watch them over and over to fully comprehend. Last year I did a trial run and tried preparing a small patch in the backyard with the soil composition examples you mention, just rich cow manure and some peat moss. I shocked all my family and myself when out of all my little seedlings, which I killed most of them from lack of knowledge, one melon seedling survived and turned into a huge melon patch! It was so-o beautiful! There were at least 2 huge melons, but that one plant took over the entire section of soil. Only thing is I didn't know when to harvest it. The leaves were still green but some critter got to it. Even so, I took pictures and I am so excited to try again this year!!! Soon as I can purchase your course, I want to learn all I can. You can be sure, I will be a walking advertisement for your great gardening skills if I am able to duplicate and improve on last year. Thank you!!
What a lovely comment, I am touched to be able to help you and others understand soil and plants, and empathise with them.
That sounds like a watermelon, if so tap it and any hollow sound equals ripeness.
For Charentais melons, you would smell the wonder. For honeydew, a deep yellow colour.
Enjoy your harvests this year!
@@CharlesDowding1nodig You will laugh at my complete lack of knowledge of plants. You see, you have such beautiful vegetables in your garden some I have never seen, let alone tasted. I think it was a melon, but the inside was yellow. Is that still a melon or a squash? I'm not sure. I wish I could show you my picture. But anyway, maybe later I will learn to identify them. Thank you. Love your videos! 🙂 __ Monica.
Hi Monica
Well you are making a start, that is excellent!
Yellow could be melon or squash but if melon, and any degree of ripeness, there is a lovely scent, then it's sweet to eat.
I would try melon and watermelon in your climate, sow about April I think, maybe March, check with local gardeners.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Thank you for the information. I will try my best to label them somehow as I plant so I might begin to learn what they look like from their leaves onward. And watching some of your videos I am learning about which plants like warm climate. I will try those first now. Thank you again.
I am new to gardening.. I am starting my no dig garden this year... I have learned so much from you.. I’m sort of overwhelmed with all the different varieties of plants. I have decided to start small and test a few of my favorite vegetables. But you have given me a wealth of knowledge so far and the confidence to get started... also all of your harvests in this video made me hungry.. wish you the best
Thank you, and start small is an excellent plan, I wish you success, and tasty food
What an absolute breath of fresh air
Wow that parsnip was beautiful!
This garden is a chefs dream 🍽
Fantastic info...I always have trouble knowing when and how often to harvest. Can't thank you enough!
I always binge watch your videos even though I’ve been gardening for years! You voice is so calming and I still learn from you
Thanks Louisa, nice to know that :)
Me too! I'm on my 5th video of the evening, and I can't stop watching! :)
This video is almost 7 years old, I'm a fan from the newer stuff and it looks like the growth six years back is way better then now!!
Interesting comment. The records I keep of harvests up to 2020, show rising totals not falling
I love your calm approach Charles. Thank you for explaining about the pests and how they are no big deal most of the time but rather an indicator of the plant development. and when to harvest. Having back probs and fibromyalgia the no dig method appeals. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
+Anne Fricker Sorry to hear about your probs , Anne . I went over to "No Dig" four years ago and am very pleased with the results , so go for it! The sad news is tho that although it cuts out all that spade work there is still quite a bit of heavy work to do with fork and wheelbarrow.
Anne Fricker I too have back problems and fibromyalgia... my hubby redid the garden for me this year. Instead of raised beds.. which were very low.. like he has in the video... he put in galvanized steel animal watering throughs with the bottoms cut out. they are 2 ft tall and I can sit on a bucket and work in the garden.... the rest.. soil and approach to gardening I do as Mr. Dowding recommends. With great success.
Love the pleasure you get when harvesting a plant, the excitement when you were at the melon....thankyou for all the super advice ...your garden is just beautiful
Many thanks Couann
Greetings from North Carolina ,USA. I'm so glad to have found your channel through Sean James Cameron's channel. I am enjoying the few videos I've begun to watch so far and will watch more before I start with my myriad of questions. All the best to you and happy gardening. -Scott
A garden could feed village! My mouth watered when you tasted the melon. The look in your eyes and your expression on your face gave it away. Marvellous!
Haha thanks
Excellent advice. I am new to growing vegetables and there is loads of info on how to grow veg but much less on harvesting, so this was really useful.
I always look around the veg section in the supermarket and although I've not been too impressed with the garlic on offer, several years ago I bought some mini plum tomatoes called Angelle. Impressed with the flavour I split one open and buried the whole thing in a pot and since then I have them every year for free. P S. Rust is everywhere this year, it even got to my bunching onions that up to now never got it!
Thanks !!! Is beautiful!!! I love You Charles Dawding ARGENTINA 💪
Best moment: seeing the pleasure, proudness and anticipation of tasting that beautiful melon! 😊
I disovered your channel yesterday, and since then I did not stop watching your videos...
Thank you so much for the clear explications. Your garden is wonderfull and SO inspiring, it gave me back the motivation to start growing vegetables in my own garden!
Kind regards from France.
That is nice to hear and thanks V Cie
Your reaction to tasting the melon made me chuckle. 😄 I could tell it was definitely delicious!
😋!!
Excellent - so happy to have found your channel! Thanks so much!
Your expression upon tasting your melon... priceless! You share so much knowledge with us, I wanted to share an observation with you my dude! This winter in Baltimore, Maryland my giant red mustard greens started to die off from the frosts. On a whim, I cut the rotting flesh off the plant, leaving the roots, and a small amount of not rotting stem at the base of the plant. Kept it in a low tunnel and it bounced back! Giant trunk replaced the stem, gave enormous amounts of greens until going to seed as we speak. Same tactic and outcome on my poppies! Happy growing, much love and respect!
Thanks for sharing, plants are amazing
Lovely lovely like the sugarplum fairy! Your garden is paradise
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Charles, Beautiful Garden and you seem so peaceful and happy. Keep up the good work!
What a wonderfull video, Mr Dowding your sound is so relaxing too, thanks for your effort :))
Thanks Abdullah and happy harvests
You can eat the fennel leaf too! really good with stir fried dish and soup dish. Love your video always!!!
great videos, great speaking style, thanks so much for posting this valuable information, please keep doing it
dude is so chill, love it
I am so excited for spring
Omg I want to plant that melon now. Yummy. I love your huge garden sir. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.
Hmm the tastes of summer. Thanks for your comment.

Love it, this guy is a natural behind the camera. Very informative, without sounding a know it all.
Thankyou
Nice garden flex!
Good morning from S.W. Virginia USA. Your videos have inspired me to garden after not having one since 2003. I'm so happy to get back to gardening once again.
Thanks Barry I wish you well in the new garden!
I think is my favourite of your videos (although I still need to watch more!) thanks for the visuals, so much information. I’m slightly north in wilts, so following the same growing times. Many thanks
Cheers Amanda :)
You seem like a lovely person. Thank you for all the inspiration!
The anticipation for the Mellon to be cut was the best bit. Inspirational channel.
Thankyou William
Im quite impressed trying this No Dig way of doing things,covered my patch with compost about 3 months ago and have just sown some early Carrot "Nantes" and Onion sets the soil was very friable and loose i just had to use my hoe to make a drill for sowing ,also it was virtually weed free without covering it with weed supressant so quite happy thanks Charles
Nice to hear, well done
i'm in awe of your garden. I have a tiny plot, and approx 6 hours of daylight on a good day. I'm incredibly jealous :-)
Thanks Charles mate. You've really inspired me.
It’s such a professional production & I always learn so much. It’s information that I actually use. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for all of your tips and wonderful information! Best RUclips channel ever :) Take care!
Thankyou so much Reilly
Oh my gosh when I watch your videos Charles I just can't wait to move and have a big garden! Loved how this video was done, kudos to whoever put it together!
Thanks Mary and it was David Adams who edited, he has a skill :)
Not just the information is great, but the music, too! Thanks soooo much!
Super that is lovely to hear.
This is all such great information! Thank you :) You are like the granddad I always wished I had
Happy to help!
I've binge watched your channel after discovering it this morning. All I can say about this episode is that you are showing off now! 😍😅
Love it! 😁
Welcome aboard Nirvil 😀
I seen a bit of your live and I really mean it your an inspiration for me but also how to experiment and have fun... I have a small yard eventually all my grass will be garden and paths... My first love was flowers and now growing food and sharing it thank you for your programing... I highly recommend u to people who love to have fun and experiment and always learning more...
Thanks very much and I like your approach
I’m amazed at the incredible cropping potential in your methods. Your videos transport me to spring summer and fall while a blizzard is raging outside. I’m addicted. Such genius you have taken gardening to.! Thank you,
Love your videos I’ve watched them multiple times and bought all your beautifully done books! Thank you
Thankyou Louisa, may your garden be lovely
Charles Dowding do you get snow in your locations? What’s the coldest temperature that you get!
Maybe one or two snows per winter and average coldest is -8C 18F
love your no dig videos, I have been trying it, I love it
thanks Laura
Thank you Charles this is an absolutely fantastic video and will really help me get more out of each bed.
Super news Rachel
Wow i love your All your fruit and vegetable garden👍👍👍❤️
Thanks for visiting 😀
thank you for sharing your joy in the garden and your genius of plants. I love watching!
Kind of you to say Lucy, thanks
Brilliant show..Loved it
love your garden. your plant are so healthy
Just catching up on all your videos. So much great information, very enjoyable watch👍👍
Glad you like them Mark
Nice video Mr charles
Dear Charles , I feel so inspired by your approach to gardening, your crops are so beautiful and the way you communicate is really nice and inspiring.
I just wanted to point that the lettuce Maravilla de verano is not italian but spanish ;)
As a lot of produce from Spain is adquired by italians and made it their own... it is important to mention that although italians have a great master in selling themselves, in food, most of their procude is spanish produce, grown and produced in Spain, but packed and labbeled in Italy under their unquestionable "brand".
Same goes for leather, but this is a different subject,
Best regards, I love your videos!
I cant wait to go home and do this no dig gardening ! Thank you so much Sir,for sharing your knowledge.God bless you
THANK YOU for all the help understanding plants and soil! I am planning to buy a couple acres of land and grow all of my own food, and I think you've helped me to prepare quit a lot! :)
Mo I am happy to hear this and wish you success in growing :)
I am addicted to your videos sir. They are so relaxing to watch, and yet they are exciting also because I have a large box of seed and a new garden that we are working on. Thank you for the inspiration. I also love hearing which varieties you prefer, because I am so clueless when looking at all of the options. You've now convinced me to grow Sungold tomatoes. Looking forward to spring in a big way!
What a lovely comment, thank you and have a great season of growing and picking.
This is the garden I'm aiming for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping give me vision!
Pull the lower leaves on your Brussels sprouts, like a kale tree for big sprouts!
I wish other youtube authors would do half as good as you when making a video. I have watched them over and over. Unfortunately I live in the dessert so cant farm as you do but still enjoy them all the same.
Fantastic! I am so so so looking forward to altering how I have gardened to include much of what you teach. Thank you :-)
Wow amazing guys
One of your best productions Charles. Watching you taste that melon has inspired me to grow more of them this year. I did really good growing Yellow doll watermelons last year. You are an inspiration. I have written your name on the back of my business cards and passed them on to many of my customers in the last three years or so. Anyone that has a gardening question gets sent your way.
Ah thanks, that is kind of you and I hope it helps them.
Enjoy your melon! needs a hot summer :)
hi Charles.
its been 2 years that i have been following your videos.
i have also started a no dig garden and as an architect, i am getting my clients to do the same.
its winter here in South africa at the moment, so i have been busy with some winter seed propagation.
thanks for all the invaluable tips
would love to visit you gardens when we are back in the UK.
Collin
Hello Colin
Thanks for your nice comment and I look forward to meeting you when you are back. Fascinating to grow in such a different climate.
Enlightening. Thankyou. An inspiration.
Great Compost!! Namaste!
Ah good to know. I might be harvesting my pumpkins too early then. The winter ones. Just read a few other comments all very positive about you . I couldn't agree more. I learn so much from your videos.Just the right combination of showing and telling. Thanks so much Charles!
Nice to hear
This was such an informative video! I am going to go check your channel for more videos about planting various crops in succession, throughout the growing season. I was raised to think I could only grow one thing in a spot, for any one season. How silly! I love the way you garden!
Excellent news Ruth, be adventurous in the garden
I have just subscribed to your channel & I must say, I fell in love with your garden! And your videos give so much information. I have a small home garden and I am really struggling to keep my plants well since my place is a bit shady (I am from Philippines and I live in an area with lots of bamboos). I am subscribing to lots of gardening channel to get infos and tips. Thanks for sharing yours!
👍❤️😊
Can you not clear the area of the bamboo? I have used bamboo for privacy so I know how hard it is to keep under control.But I always kept them around 7 feet tall. I don't know your area just a suggestion. Peace from the USA

I aspire to be like you sir, your videos are my happy place, they bring a lot of joy into my day❤ Why not bring back some of the music between scenes like in this one? I really liked it! Happy growing!
So nice of you Steve. This classical music was not so popular at the time, even people were saying, why do you need music? I do like it myself, but it's hard to please everybody!
Thank you, Charles for sharing your expertise and your advice; It has helped me even in Arizona!
Nice to hear 😀
I wish my garden looked like that. I envy the mild climate too. Where I live, in Missouri, we had a hot 82 degree Friday followed by storms, and a hard freeze Saturday night.
Crikey we do not see extremes like that. We had 61F last week, then 29F and that is big for here. Best of luck with your climate and garden.
Your vegetables and fruits are very beautiful.
Thank you very much
LOVE YOU CHARLES. THE BEST.
I bought one of your books and now I am just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I just tried to wing your technique today with the tomatoes after watching your youtube programs but I am sure to learn more when I get your book! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It was so hard not to dig the beds. Thanks again!
Bronze fennel this is good to hear, I am especially fascinated by your comment about how hard it was not to dig! I hope you enjoy the book.
Great video!
Ha Ha yes nice melon and it made my mouth water, he he thanks so much. My granddad used to grow lots of melons and water melons in sandy type soil on his sugarcane farm in North Queensland Australia, that brought back lots of lovely memories for me.
Felicidades por hacer estos vídeos; se aprende mucho.
Saludos desde Monterrey México.
Oh my foodness 5years this old channel so beautiful Amazing
Wow, just heaps and heaps of great information! I am really enjoying your videos, thank you! 😉
