    For all of my fellow Neurodivergent gardeners out there, THIS!! It has made such a difference in how I grow and how successful I am since growing more perennials and letting nature do its thing. It gives you more time and freedom to focus on other aspects that may require more attention.
    I am rather fond of growing herbs and so many of them just need to be planted once and they provide flavor for years and years.
    Another benefit is the many different uses for the plant during the growing cycles. You get the vegetables but theres also the leaves, the flowers and the seeds. Its a win win 🤗

    I love everything Mandy is saying, and agree 1000%. I think also part of it is accepting there'll be set backs. I am a Londoner who lives in Italy and when we got some land 4 years ago I threw myself into studying permaculture, and trying to grow food. Unfortunately we've had so many problems, mainly our soil which is almost 100% clay, and the incredibly hot summers mean that even when we can keep plants alive they tend to drop all their fruits, and green leaves wither. But listening to this has given me a renewed boost. For the 2025 growing season I'm going to try shade cloths, building ferrocement raised beds, and a very simple barrel drip irrigation system. All use more plastic or cement than i'd like, but without them I don't think we'll ever be productive, as the fruit trees also grow quite slowly due to our conditions. But ever onwards!

      @HuwRichards Huw! I'll love you forever! You saved my life.
      I began gardening as a result of covid, came across your channel, and learned a plethora of information!
      You've been a continuous source of inspiration, and I'm all the healthier for it. You're very handsome and should be People magazines Sexiest Man Alive!😃
      Thank you so much for all you do. Appreciate being introduced to other gardens and farms in your community. Your viewers are learning a lot.
      Happy Holidays to you and your family..♥️
      Keep the videos coming. Please!!!

    I've bought some of the plants from Incredible Vegetables so it's lovely to see where they came from. I completely understand how her passion evolved... I started 'collecting perennial veg' but now I've run out of space!

      (There's always the hedgerows, woodlands and verges along quiet country lanes. I have a few edible plants here and there, where I can have a snack while out for a walk).

    Very interesting. I am glad to see some of my own perennials in this video and got some new inspiration. I am almost reluctant to ask Mandy, but I try nevertheless...😢 you wear a loveley gardeners dungarees in green right about my size. Would you be kind enough to let me know where I could purchase one?❤

    Curious when you grow crops like red clover or the saltbush for soil nutrients, what is the next step?

  • @amandab6178

    I think most of us care passionately about our planet. However, I am very concerned about what is being sprayed into our skies and ultimately falling onto our soil.

    I think she said perennial 9-star broccoli I still don't know what shrub she was talking about It's buried so far in the algorithm You can't tell you're too soon or you'll skip the video kind of nonsense so I don't know it's in there somewhere I think it's that nine star or nine stalk.. or something. Somebody please tell me what the shrub is

      ​@@HuwRichardscould you share the Latin binomial for saltbush? I live in the USA and that common name seems to apply to a bunch of unrelated plants.
