About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

I like the way you companion plant, I think that’s the way Mother Nature intended
Love that you say how you serve the vegetables. But would be fun to see you in the kitchen ;)
There are lots of videos with me in the kitchen and also a playlist of recipes.
Oooh snowball turnip is my favourite too! Enjoy 😁
Love that little "subscribe" man😄
When I found that little person with the sign, I chuckled aloud and felt that they needed to be in a video or two. 😃
Thanks Liz for another inspirational video. My health has been bad again this year and the garden has suffered but lovely to know that I can still sow a few things now to enjoy. Thank you so much.
Im Polish and we eat kohlbrabi raw. Green ones with white centre. We peel them and eat them like apples. Yummy.
Your gardens are so beautiful! I'm glad you are getting rain! I've been better prepared for the extreme heat and drought this year but next week it is supposed to be 105°F (40.5°C) for 3 days. A sweet little doe gave birth to her fawn in my garden, so I trying my best to keep it alive for her to share. ❤
Aw, thank you! Gosh 105F sounds uncomfortable!
You are such a delight and inspiration! Love that you companion plant in your beds.
Thank you so much!
Kailaann is prounced Guy-larn. Thanks for the vid!
The purple kohl rabi, i like growing it as it is so easy and quick, pests seem to leave it alone more than other brassicas; but yes, difficult to think of how best to serve. My recent harvest I peeled, sliced, and roasted with chopped rosemary and parmesan and it was lovely, savoury and nutty
Thank you for the serving suggestion, I will give that a try.
So many ideas in this video! I now plan to sow more salad leaves, dill, coriander and rocket in hope that salads can continue alongside tomatoes into autumn. I’ve grown rainbow chard for the first time this year, they seem to be doing well but I’m really not sure to do with the stuff other than leaves for salad. If anyone reading this has any advice to pass on ideas will be gratefully received.
gently steamed is my preferred way of preparing chard leaves. Rainbow varieties look great in the garden but if you want volume and arguably better taste maybe try Giant Fordhook. They should provide a good continuous supply of leaves almost all year round if you're lucky.
They steam/saute beautifully like spinach. The stems are good in a stir-fry. I put the leaves as a green in a curry or rice/grains or soup. Larger sturdier leaves are fantastic stuffed, as you would with grape leaves or cabbage. Use an amount of filling so you can roll the leaf around at least twice since they're a bit more tender than cabbage but they do hold up.
OMG that little figure walking across the screen with the subscribe sign scared the living daylights out of me 😂😂😂 I thought WHAT THE HELL LIZ DOESN’T OWN ANY TODDLERS before I realized what it was.
Sorry! It's a cute little figure though and it has worked as a reminder to folks to subscribe. 😉
@@LizZorab ha no need to apologize for the fact that I am a certified lunatic lolol it is indeed cute when it’s clear what it is!
another cracking video liz
Thank you Steven! 😃
Love seeing a tour of your garden beds Liz, gives me so many ideas! I mix flowers and veg too for the pollination so I love this video. I picked some Bright Lights chard this morning and their backing was Borage and it looked so beautiful!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I really enjoyed making this video!
Love that you say how long they take to grow 😂
A really enjoyable and useful video Liz. I’m off to get some more seeds sown now 😁. Happy gardening. Mags 🌸
Have fun!
Wonderful garden tour ❤ my peas never reach the kitchen either 😋 the Chioggia beetroot is pronounced [kiodjia] with ki as in kilo rather than kite, if you go with its Italian origin...but then again, when you eat it it won’t matter as you’ll probably just say “nice!” no matter its official name 😄
Thanks for the info! It is good to know pronunciations, even if I don't always remember to use the right one 😃
Thank you Liz, just been over to Real Seeds and purchased a few seeds to start now
I hope you have lots of success with them - I do love Real Seeds!
Great video.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun making this one 😃
I've had a few problems this year with germination and growing on after being potting on I'm not sure whether it's the dull wet weather or compost problem as I'm using Aldi own it's all i can afford to buy so I'm trying to make loads of my own so we will see what happens next year by the way I'm near Cross Hands
I'm near Ammanford, I have had the same problems.
Love this, thx
Glad you like it!
I love those Dwarf Jerusalem Artichoke, I can't get them anywhere! 🥺
Great video!
They won't be available until later in the year when it's time to harvest them.
Good video
Thank you!
WoW! What a fantastic video and learning source. I now have an amazing list of seeds to buy and try. Thank you so much. -😀I have a number of brassica plants to put in that I have no idea what they are as the shelving the seed trays weer on, tipped over and the modules all lost their labels so my bed is going to be interesting, lol!
Glad it was helpful!
I had a lucky dip a couple of years ago. My plastic greenhouse was wrecked in the wind. That was my first year of growing. We waited with anticipation as to what we would get.
For kailaan (Cantonese), the 'kai' is pronounced something like 'guy' and the 'laan' rhymes with 'yarn'.
Thank you!
Judging by your planting here I’m so glad I planted some purple sprouting broccoli 😂 although I’ve never tried it I’m excited to! However I have mystery brassicas allover as I don’t know what I planted where… woops! Would love a what Brassica is this video for younger plants 😅
I find that most brassicas look alike when they are small and good labeling is essential if you need to know which each plant is.
I did that with brassica too. It's going to be interesting to see what they turn out to be.
Here in S France the corn has already finished it was in by June and out by last week July as it bolts and gives up in the heat! Also, it grows in some beds better than others as you found. The radish is going - all the time (I learned not to throw them around, as you did) and the cabbage is surviving and we have been eating it for a couple of months! My bees are happy for the green manures I sowed in the spring. We have massive squash, courgettes and a great harvest of beet which has been canned; I always sow in pots and pot on - they don't fail that way! Perilla what is that; what is monata? I doubt if I could get it here! My calendula is not so prolific due to the heat - but I have grown Valerian - what to do with it? Tried with Cavello but difficult to get here. My lupins didn't do much. Love your huge greenhouse mine is mini! It is late July and I have just taken off the netting from some of the brassicas - I think the butterfly has stopped proliferating now. I can not be fussy re the seeds I use as here it is difficult to buy seeds for the season or know the 'type' i am using. I think Kolrabi is Chou Rave in France; chou fleur is cauli.
I think perilla is an oriental vegetable. It’s not monata but monarda (aka bergamot or bee balm).
Hi Liz, please can you tell me what the purple flowers are? (look almost like Jerusalem artichoke leaves with purple spiky flowers, next to your rhubarb)...ignore me you've just answered that 😂
Liz, what are the pretty little white, bell shaped flowers in bed 11?
They are a perennial variety of Canterbury Bells.
Great video Liz, given me lots of ideas, I thought I was too late to sow for some things. I have a self seeded cabbage and kale appear and started to really grow, but nature has already taken hold of (managed to get a few of the calvero nero leaves before they were filled with holes) My Kale is ready to go in after sowing it a few weeks ago. Realised I must get myself some of the pipework for the netting which I didn't really need last year. @lizzorab I've not seen any in black like you have just the blue in other gardens, was it 'claber' that you purchased? Thanks in advance!
Black piping - given to me by friends and found on site when we moved in. Sorry I can't help you with what it is.
This is a totally random question! Are there some plants that don’t self seed and if so is there a reason why the dropped seeds won’t germinate on their own?
Love your channel and I’ve started your new book ❤
There are some, usually it is because the seeds are sterile.
