Wish I had a place to go to to be a part of. Getting older and can't do on my own. But, would love to do that. The dandelions are all over my lawn. I have not used any weed killers in 4 years at this house. I will be looking into harvesting them when they pop up again. I did not know how good they are. I have half of those medical problems, so going to use. I am up against the codes where live for having weeds but going with documentation to show the use of these so called weeds.
For me this is a late night feel-good video ..... A p.s. There is a movement/campaign running in my native Denmark called "Purposely Wild" (my translation) in which everyone, private households and companies, are encouraged to leave small parts, big parts all of their property untouched to let flowers blossom and help the insects. Even public areas are partly left uncut or manicured. It is getting more and more followers and woo,e are generally very enthusiastic. Lots of Dandelions around :-)
most people here on Vancouver Island Canada, know to not touch the dandelions, We leave them alone, especially for the bees. Since they are one of the 1st flowers that are out .
I loved watching a story about a gentleman who dug long narrow furrows about 2 foot deep and kept the soil next to the furrow, he then just threw weeds, kitchen scraps, tree cuttings etc into the furrow when full he put the soil back over and grew his veggies straight into it. I tried it so no compost bin needed and my veggies esp zucchini and pumkins grew like crazy. Try it. Ask the rhubarb owner but I think the leaves are poisonous and can be soaked and used as a natural insect or weed killer..something something lol
This is literally my dream💛 Harvesting my own produce, spending all my time outside in the sun and fresh air, surrounded by beautiful scenery and animals... you are living the dream life Gaz!🙏🌟 Also your videos radiate so much peacefulness and serenity, thank you for that🌻☀️
Yep. After having had no interest at all in growing anything for all of my life, in this last 18 months or so, its something I've become really conscious of. This is exactly what I want to be spending my time doing in the same kind of inspiring surroundings as Gaz, This is my goal for my impending retirement, learning all I can from an allotment I've got at the moment.
A Welsh lady sitting here on my 5 acres in Australia really enjoyed watching this as she was making pastry and chopping home grown veggies. I know Abergavenny very well indeed used to be married to a bloke from there.
Ive been following you for years and never commented, but I want to say I’m proud of you and your growth, love your content and your lifestyle may you keep prospering ☺️🖤
It is clear how much you enjoy growing food. I wouldn’t have guessed it from the early avant- garden vegan days considering you have always been quite an urban guy. It’s been fun seeing your interest grow.
I don't really know why but this video made me tear up a bit? It is really touching for me to see people who still get rapted with wonder by the smallest things. We take a looottttt of things for granted, especially for food I think, hence the importance to slow down a bit and acknowledge the small details. Watching you share your passion with such openness, honesty and simplicity is a gift:)
Hey quick pear tree tip, I learned the hard way! Pick out some of your pears while they're small, so the pairs you want to keep get bigger and juicier, and the weight of them doesn't break your young tree! ❤
I live in a little town in Wales and I am glad that every verge is covered in seasonal wildflowers providing essential food for bees. Especially Dandilions. ❤ Which are the first flowering plants to provide food for bees
I live in Spain and have just started growing food in tubs. Started with some potatoes that had sprouted due to the heat we've been having so I thought I'd pop them into some pots. They've all grown, so I've been planting all sorts and I'm glad I'm not the only one who talks to the little miracle seedlings that pop up. It's so exciting. Every day there's more growth and it's giving me such joy. It's so nice to see you growing your food and then cooking it. It's a dream life for sure.
I'm in the Murcia region, moved here 5 years ago from south london.. i haven't started growing anything yet but like you i will have to use containers or pots. just not sure what to grow due to the heat
since lockdown and because i am a contractor and can (when i am lucky enough ) get fully remote work, i moved back to the countryside to my parents home. I also garden and grow my own veg with my mum. We're addicted and there are so many country paths to walk in Aylesbury. I am loving it. Am just a country bumpkin at heart. Wales is so stunning! just hoping this summer is good
One of my fave videos yet! Love how we get to tag along. And seeing your excitement when talking about what you're growing is lovely. Truly a spark in your eyes. Have a great end to your week!
Home grown broad beans changed my life. Food that made me feel so good I changed to a vegan lifestyle shortly after. Now my garden and cupboards have all sorts of beans and legumes in general. I love finding new types to try out.
What a beautiful life you've created Gaz! It's amazing to see how far you've come. One tip for you: try to dig up your dandelion roots after the yellow flowers have gone to seed (and have become a big white puffball...). This way, the important pollinators around your garden can take advantage of every last drop of nectar in each flower. All love from your friend the ecologist!
"Heaven on Earth." That's what I think you've created. Congratulations, Gaz. Your work is truly amazing and your excitement and happiness is truly transmitted through this video. Keep it up!!
Wish me luck I’ve only grown a few plants here and there but this season first time I’ve made myself few raised garden beds so excited can’t wait to try some food fresh from the garden wish you all abundant harvest and beautiful growth! Peace and love
With the leaves of the lemon tree you can make a Spanish recipe called “paparajotes”! You make a simple batter, dip the leaves in it, fry them as if they were churros and then sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon. The batter gets all the aroma from the lemon leaves and it tastes absolutely delicious 🍋🌱
I'm a Londoner but my mum is Austrian. They always make salad from the dandilion leaves before the flower sprouts...so the young leaves I guess you would say. They make it with (lukewarm) boiled cut potatoes, sliced hard boiled egg, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. You always see the elder women in spring waking around fields...hunting dandilion leaves! Röhrlsalat mit Erdäpfeln
I've never been to Wales, but it's the land of my ancestors, and as I watch these videos it makes me feel like I belong there, like it's the true home I've never really had in my current country. You are living the life I long for. Perhaps one day I'll be able to do this too ❤
@@andreajackson3299 it’s sold as pudding rice and is used to make rice pudding. (Not sure where you’re from but it was a popular dessert years ago. It’s not always in the aisle with standard rice but more likely to be near items like tinned fruit and pastry cases/dessert items in the supermarket
You're so joyful that's beautiful, full of life, radiant. It's great to see people living doing what they truly love. I also have a garden, not as big as yours, for now, but the compost heap is always full of surprises yes! Plants are miraculously great and beautiful! :) Thanks!!
I always feel like my stress level drops when watching your videos. So relaxing and great content. Your vegan lifestyle is definitely working you as you look very healthy and jacked in your thumbnail. Thanks for making these videos
Gaz it sooooo looks just like I am over visiting my gran in the Vale of Glam! Certainly time to get back over there! I show these to my dad (Welsh) & he LOVES THEM, thank you for sharing & for all you do!
I am really glad that RUclips recommended me this channel! Mr. Oakley, your videos are like the injections of positive feelings and cosiness! Thank you!
Seeing you thrive makes me realise it is possible to achieve the goal of living off the land. Thank you so much for sharing your journey 💚 I’m definitely trying the dandelion coffee!!
This is amazing thank you for sharing! Hey if you get a tumbling composter you will get fresh usable compost in less than half a year! Added workout and it all composts faster!
@4:28 I have been wondering where I could get an alternative to my current coffee delights. This is something I MOST DEFINITLY have to try. Thank you for sharing this information.
Lemon leaves 🍋 are great for wrapping around fish and steaming. Great for hot drinks. Used in bouquets/flower arrangements💐. Would look great in an 'arty" way when you cook inside your poly tunnel, with that lovely fresh scent. Great for wounds if you cut yourself. ✂️🍋
This is the first video I have seen of yours Gaz and I am really impressed with the content. So much that I am going to try making the 'barb' & tomato relish and maybe it will be the first time in Australia being cooked here!! I am also impressed with what you have achieved so far in your garden and hothouse with the range of veggies. I have 4 raised beds 70cm high and 2 more to build over Winter so they are ready for my Summer crops. I will be running a hothouse eventually for seed raising and other bits. Looking forward to watching all of your videos now. Cheers from the Land of Oz!!
Like magic, I told my partner I wanted a Gaz garden tour, and I'm treated to a half hour video! Thanks Gaz, this is so inspiring and I hope to have a garden like this one day. All the best
Been following all those years, since 50k or less... Who would have thought how you'll evolve, love this gardening meets cooking, just like Wicked kitchen and Spicy Mustache!❤
The rhubarb chutney : Soften onions & garlic till sweet. Add cumin, smoked paprika, coriander , celery salt, sea salt, thyme oregano. Add chop rhubarb. Add Coconut sugar, cook down till soft. Add tom puree, kombutcha vinegar, miso paste, chopped toms, bay leaves. Bubble for an hour. Bottle. I guess i’d add pepper, maybe sechuan pepper? I have loads of rhubarb so great to try this.
Dang! It’s dandelion heaven here in Montana….even more so than any other years! Not only are they beautiful as flowers they are truly healthy from root to plant. I was amazed to see how simple it is to roast the roots and make “coffee “. Thanks so much for this video. So glad you escaped the big city. I moved to this small town from L A California. Don’t even want to visit🤣 the one time I did I was terrified!
Dandelion root with burdock And licorice root remind me of a warm cup of coffee. Here in the US you can find it and mullien everywhere but they are looked at as weeds vs medicine. I feel you!!
@@gazoakleychef it really is! So good for the lungs. If you haven't yet Holy basil or Tulsi is a beautiful herb to add to your garden. She is the best!!
Really enjoying this content and seeing you learn more and get excited about growing your own veg and tending to the ecosystem. I love that you've got fruit trees as well- flowering shrubs and dandelions are one of the first blooms that pollinators rely on in the spring! You'll be bringing loads of beneficial insects to your garden to help eat the pests! You're doing great!
Is that weird if I sit at a nearby bench and just look at you doing gardening with that beautiful smile on a warm sunny light on my face? 0:40 and 2:56
Love the progress Gaz!! I had the pleasure of homesteading twice. Miss it, and SO thankful for eating fresh and organic foods daily. A suggestion for the onions and carrots. Alternate one row onions, one row carrots, and repeat until your beautiful bed is planted. This ups your protection against pests. Companion planting and raised beds is always the best way to go. You're doing great... keep up the good work, Gaz!! Much love...
Got a new subscriber, just because you love dandelions. Also love your enthusiasm and sense of wonder, been experiencing the same as I got acquainted with plant life - started during lockdown.
I have lots of dandelions. I always keep them for the bees. I am going to try the coffee. Anything homegrown tastes amazing. Great video. Have a great week
Great video!! I'm also an urban person transplanted to the countryside and I love it. Great to hear someone shouting out to the medicinal and edible 'weeds'! I have psoriasis and have been juicing plantain and cleavers daily for a while. I'm also obsessed with dandelions and daisies :)
You're where humanity should be. There will be more to follow. They're not done with our beautiful humanity. Im passing your info, video, to my team here in Canada. God bless.
Feels like you’re coming into your own now with the combo of growing your own produce from which to make your amazing recipes. Really good to watch, I now have greenhouse envy.
Isn't it amazing how plants are our best friends? Gosh, living on the countryside is soooo rewarding. I'm jealous but at the same time i live on a tropical island .... which is also very nice
The dream! Having a garden and growing my own plants is the one thing i wish for my future, maybe wtih enough space to keep some rescued animals and share my home with them.
We use the lemon leaves as tea. Pour hot water over leaves in a teacup or teapot. Let it steep until the water looks light yellow. It is a good rejuvenating tea for the morning or afternoon slump.
Started my growing / cooking / preserving journey many years ago inspired by the likes of John Seymour and Geoff Hamilton it is so exciting to still to be inspired and learning from a younger generation such as Huw Richards and yourself time to give dandelion coffee another go and to grow Asturian tree cabbage for the first time.
this is so wholesome 🤩 I lost my mum in Dec 22' and gardening was her favourite, since my dad has taught me everything and I am obsessed with growing all my own food, with two greenhouses now and lots of plots we have so much growing 🙌 I drove through Abergavenny the other day lol
You're making dandelion root coffee reminds me of an uncle who did this in the early sixties. I have a book on edible weeds here in Australia which has dandelions. On my first visit to Finland I saw the largest dandelions growing out of the footpath in the city. Yours seem to be on the large side as well. Americans make a sweet liquid out of the flowers. I just found your channel, love it so far, thanks.

I eat a small bunch of Celery Leaves every morning on an empty stomach which is a great Liver detox. That Rhubarb Rice pudding looks TO Die For.
Love how genuine this channel is. No AI voice over, just real people living a real life! Thank you for sharing how you live on the land

Thats exactly how you escape the modern slavery.

“Hello little bean 🫘 you’re going to have an amazing life…in Wales 🏴 “ 😊 that made my heart melt❤
Dandelions are amazing! The greens, yum w/ garlic, make "honey" out of the flowers and the bees love them!

Love this!!! Wales is truly gods country and I feel so lucky to be here 🎉
Thankyou, thankyou thankyou, I have been trying to tell people about dandelions for years, Rabbits and bees like them as well💖
iM LOVING IT, LOVE THE EXCITEMENT OVER THE NEW GARDEN PLANTINGS
this is one of the best self sufficiency shares in English out there! :)) love your project
Hey quick pear tree tip, I learned the hard way! Pick out some of your pears while they're small, so the pairs you want to keep get bigger and juicier, and the weight of them doesn't break your young tree! ❤
It's because dandelion is so beneficial, that's why it's so vilified. See also any plant that might eat into pharma profits
And it's the first food of the season for our pollinators! Dandelions are amazing in every way!
I live in a little town in Wales and I am glad that every verge is covered in seasonal wildflowers providing essential food for bees. Especially Dandilions. ❤

They look delicious. Do you know if it's made with a specific lemon leaf or any variety would do?
Watching you use the things you have grown to make your food is beautiful.
Your plants will grow and flourish because of your excitement and good vibes you are putting out. Plants love a good vibe.

I want to see more of this garden! The cinematography is gorgeous too

Lemon leaves 🍋 are great for wrapping around fish and steaming. Great for hot drinks. Used in bouquets/flower arrangements💐. Would look great in an 'arty" way when you cook inside your poly tunnel, with that lovely fresh scent. Great for wounds if you cut yourself. ✂️🍋

Listening to Gaz is so relaxing
So much respect for your efforts in all your projects Gaz. You can really see the passion you're putting in
It's so nice to see the process of planting & cultivating to final dish.
Looking forward to when you get round to making your own honey!

Have you considered a touch of rewilding alongside mixed and regenerative farming in the homestead? I think it’d be worth a look.
Always so wholesome, fresh, relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for making quiet living cool!
Isn't it amazing how plants are our best friends? Gosh, living on the countryside is soooo rewarding. I'm jealous but at the same time i live on a tropical island .... which is also very nice
The Best Experience is Country Living, Thank you for sharing!
I agree! Nature ❤️👨🌾
I'd love to see a storage/ preservation video, once you harvest all of your onions & garlic etc.

We use the lemon leaves as tea. Pour hot water over leaves in a teacup or teapot. Let it steep until the water looks light yellow. It is a good rejuvenating tea for the morning or afternoon slump.
Love the homesteading stuff. We are doing it in the next few years, so it’s all useful and inspiring info!
Good luck derek! Thanks for the support!
Started my growing / cooking / preserving journey many years ago inspired by the likes of John Seymour and Geoff Hamilton it is so exciting to still to be inspired and learning from a younger generation such as Huw Richards and yourself time to give dandelion coffee another go and to grow Asturian tree cabbage for the first time.
this is so wholesome 🤩 I lost my mum in Dec 22' and gardening was her favourite, since my dad has taught me everything and I am obsessed with growing all my own food, with two greenhouses now and lots of plots we have so much growing 🙌 I drove through Abergavenny the other day lol
You're making dandelion root coffee reminds me of an uncle who did this in the early sixties. I have a book on edible weeds here in Australia which has dandelions. On my first visit to Finland I saw the largest dandelions growing out of the footpath in the city. Yours seem to be on the large side as well. Americans make a sweet liquid out of the flowers. I just found your channel, love it so far, thanks.
Finally able to order the mug and tea towel! Can't wait to get them! You are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing your life with us xx
You think Gaz couldn’t get better and then he shows you his garden. You’re awesome!
