For those curious about L.A.B.s that she mentions when discussing her compost, it's lactobacillus. This bacteria helps to accelerate composting, but is also a bacteria found in probiotics and even our gut health.
My favorite part of the video is the part about saving seed and using seed which are native to the area. Rather than importing hybrid seed from China, grow local seeds that are native to the environment. Each generation of seed becomes stronger for the local area.
Absolutely! I am thankful for those who have already been searching for and restoring our availability to many of our native seeds here in the U.S. before they are all lost. It behooves us to carry on that work in our own local areas and gardens for our future generations. Blessings on your day Sir! 🌻🐛
@@zoewhite7705 many of the large commercial seed companies import seeds from China so there is no way of knowing what zone or climate conditions they were grown in, or how the seeds were processed, etc. (regulations/standards are different there). Seeds that are sourced locally (or as close as possible) to our own growing area have a better chance of quality growth and better performance because they were grown here.
Oh my goodness...I loved this SO much! So beautifully photographed too. Just gorgeous. I would love to see more of Peni and her beautiful property. Thanks so much Huw! 🙏
@@HuwRichards And PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏 reveal her secrets to such bountifull blueberry harvest! I could not believe my eyes! Also Huw - Hollywood should knock on Your door, You have an amazing filming talent!
Peni‘s story is incredibly well filmed and told. Thank you so much for the work Huw, it means a lot to see such amazing gardens and hear the wise words!!
My past 30 years embodied. I am so happy to see this prime example of sanity on earth; stewarding Nature, aligning with Permaculture ethics and principles, and look at the beauty, abundance, diversity, and resilience. Very well done. I am moving to The UK, and look forward to co-creating this kind of Haven of Reality! I am a Regenerative Farming Community Designer, and Permaculturist Singer Songwriter.

Ideas like these come very handy when you don't have money to buy all these fertilizers. I learn a lot from these talks and practice some of them and they work for me. Thanks.
🌳☘️🍀Amazing concept growing our own food is indeed an wonderful experience connecting with nature ,,, connecting with ourselves growing with plants outside in nature is indeed an honour 🌱☘️🍀🌳🙏🇮🇳
What a stunning video, thank you Hugh for introducing us to Peni and thank you Peni for letting us see your beautiful project. So many wise words you said in this video. A big hearted happy new year to your ventures. Heather
I love it when you make these series, Huw! They are so inspiring and I look forward to them all year! Thank you! This one was so good that I started from the beginning as soon as it was over!
What a beautiful video, Huw! The filming is terrific, and Peni is amongst the nicest people I’ve ever listened to. There is a spiritual bond between her and her little patch of earth. Thank you 💚💚💚
Thanks Huw for a beautiful inspiring video. She is a very interesting lady with sound values and has created not just an amazing garden but an amazing life. Happy New Year Huw 🍀🍀🍀
If we, as the gardening/permaculture community could ever make realized the connection between the earth that we've been entrusted to steward and the Creator, God that has placed that responsibility on our hearts, oh, how we could change the world!
Dear Huw, I get just as excited as everyone else when you showcase another inspiring garden. The camerawork is stunning, as always, and there is a nice flow. However, I feel that the music in the background throughout the entire video is often distracting and in this particular video it is on a par with Peni's narrative. It would be much more enjoyable and easier to hear what she has to say if the music was either much quieter (background) or only there to open and close the video. I've been meaning to suggest this for while, so today's the day (lol). Keep up your fantastic work and happy new year to you! Greetings from your fans in Stuttgart, Germany
When you said, "you don't know how much this means to us..." I think I did! I was holding my breath, crossing my fingers, and simply praying .... waiting and praying!" I am so completely thrilled and happy for you both. Congratulations on pushing through and sticking to it for such a fulfilling payoff. Absolutley stoked for you both. Happy only new year!
I agree with what you said about saving your own seeds,I've recently started to do this and it is so satisfying to watch your produce grow from the seeds that you have produced, they grow better as they 'know' the soil that they came from, you are keeping the vegetables pure from contamination and its free.
I have been collecting my seeds for a few years. The seeds of your own garden are more equipped for the challenges of your area. There parent have given them the necessary skills and genome for success in your exact location. The nutrient density of the seed depends on the area it was grown in as well. These things make your own seeds better every year you produce them instead of worse every year with bad practices.
Well done Penni. Glad you are going on still. This is a lovely garden, When I had a market stall I used to be down there every Friday morning stocking up. All the best Pete.
So lovely, the softness but strength in you is so reassuring Peni, not every gardener looks the same. Lovely music and thanks for sharing with us. Ella x
Looking so forward to watching Huw! Happy new year from Ireland. I'm binge watching your videos, absolutely love them and I'm taking lots from them. Getting a huge tunnel this year and want to have a really decent garden for my family this year
Simply wow! I love when u make this kind of videos! I’m right now doing your Planting Plan course on Abundance Academy, Huw, what a jewel! However I can’t see you replying to questions there… but maybe here you could help me? I notice in July you say you harvest, say, beans and peas and put something else instead; but in my experience, runner beans, peas and others keep cropping for many weeks/months as long as they have flowers. So why would we take them out and replace them? Would it make more sense to wait until they definitely stop cropping? Or after a first heavy harvest it’s not worth keeping them in the ground fot the amount of harvest they would give afterwards? Many thanks and happy new planting year!!
You've kind of answered it - if you think that the harvest is worthwhile, leave them in. In a different micro-climate or perhaps different varieties the cropping may finish earlier. Also, you need to balance costs and value - if you're having to buy in more expensive vegetables in August-September the peas and beans are occupying limited land that the more expensive crops could be using. I would suggest underplanting so that as the beans and peas fade out you already have a crop in the same ground ready to take over the space.
Huw..... top notch production. I very much enjoy these tours and interviews. Great format in that it is just your subject that calmly explains their own endeavors. Thank you!!! More please. Cheers!!
An inspiration this video, full of life and harmony. Thanks Huw for continue showing the people that is possible. It's a symbiosis we nurture the soil and she give us food.
Wonderful! Your garden and your outlook on gardening is blossoming with inspiration. I grow a large garden, a main focus in my life. That connection between the garden and myself is vital to my well being. Your garden is truly spectacular! Cheers!
Oh, how lovely to hear someone else doing just like me! I am so meticoulus with my lists but as soon as I am out of the house it’s like they don’t excist. 😂 I am one with my garden and do what I feel it is telning me to do. Love your place! 👌❤️
I've never been this early before, this is such a gorgeous garden 🥰 I'm always learning more from this channel and I'm looking forward to having a gorgeous garden of my own 🥰
I love this place. It may be worth mentioning that the main veg growing area is at 100m above sea level with west facing aspect and 13km from the sea at 51.8°N. Average gradient is ca. 16%. Low permeability silty clay soil. Formerly, low / medium quality grazing land.
@@HuwRichards Could there be a creative way/process for them to reach out to you? Maybe a special web sight with an "outline to follow" to enter their information as to why their garden project may be interesting to interview? With the understanding that it is not possible to choose them all but through process and interview have sufficient season to season. For me personally your teaching is the "grand banquet" and these videos are the "sweet dessert". Blessings on your day Kiddo !🥰🌻🐛

Thank you!! I was definitely curious about that!

Thank you! I listened back twice and saw your comment 😊
This is a great addition to the soil! Lots of videos here on YT about how to make your own.

Who imports seeds from China? I didn’t know that was a thing.

Excelente y muy inspirador para que seamos mas quienes cultivemos la Tierra!!!
I love this garden, you have done a magnificent job Peni, love to see more.
NY Resolution: Grow a garden where design elements become as self evident as Peni has achieved in Carmarthenshire, that Huw wants to film :)
From humble beginnings you can find the most beauty..seeds ftw~
This is beautiful!
Wonderful! Your garden and your outlook on gardening is blossoming with inspiration. I grow a large garden, a main focus in my life. That connection between the garden and myself is vital to my well being. Your garden is truly spectacular! Cheers!
