      Personally i felt like you gabbled your way through and need to double the time or half the amount and make 2 shorter ones. At the end,you are talking at your normal speed and so much easier to understand,for me any ways.
      The information is important but lost in the spreed.

      @@HuwRichards Huw, I was drawn to your videos because of your demeanor, the professionalism and seriousness you exuded. I discovered you when I began gardening couple years back as a result of the covid pandemic. I LOVE to cook and bake and absolutely abhor dining out in restaurants so to me my garden is a life or death situation. My health is my life! Mental, emotional, physical...
      My garden is a no phone zone, no cell phones allowed. No smoking allowed. Peace tranquility and love. That's it.
      Your videos are perfect (to me). No need to tweak anything or change the length. I enjoy the mini-movies with my coffee tea or cocoa. 😉
      Look forward to the next Saturday morning video.
      We love you Huw. ❤️

    You cannot rush gardening so why rush information about it. You are such a wealth of fabulous information, Huw, please don’t feel like you have to limit yourself when you share that information.

    @allankelly8133 Год назад +48

    I love this format. Despite the majority’s resistance to this break from the norm, I think you could use it 4 times a year ie the start of each season. It gives so many things for people to think about prior to each season and then you can back up the most important ideas with a further,more in depth video!

      Totally agree! It's a motivating format because it gives me a quick overview - we don't need it do be in-depth when it's a seasonal reminder of what to do. Great idea to do 4 shorter videos like this each season!

    • @katyt7470
      @katyt7470 Год назад

    I actually liked this A LOT. I think changing the format based on the materials you are presenting is a good way to think about it. Sometimes I'm interested in watching beautiful montages of someone else's garden; sometimes I'm more interested in the tips they're sharing, as was the case here. For lists like this, the quick, succinct style is perfect. For times when you're going into detail around a specific method or technique of doing something, a more leisurely approach could apply. Thanks for mixing it up for those of us engineering types who appreciate a good list! 😁

    I usually watch Videos before I go to sleep, so i sometimes have to skip Videos which are too long. But then i watch it some days later. Its nice to have a short "to Do list", but with the running seconds and the sounds it felt rushed.I like it a bit smoother, gardening also isnt a rush but has to take its time.

    No. Gardening is about time and patience. Perfection in nature can't be rushed. Huw, keep it smooth easy and sexy. Don't change. Don't rush. Patience is a necessity. Especially in the garden. Slow it down again. ❤️

    I LOVE your HANDS!
    Thank you for making my day!
    I don’t have a garden sadly…..even tho I have about a 9x 9 space….I just don’t know where to start.
    My dirt is just that …dead , lifeless clay and construction fill dirt.
    Love watching you tho!
    Again 🙏
