G'day, Everyone! Thanks for your ongoing support and for taking time out of your busy day to watch my videos. Liz has a fantastic food-oriented property, but remember, you only need a little space to reduce your food bill significantly by growing your own at home. You don't have to be self-sufficient in everything - just be self-sufficient in something... Cheers :)
Thank you for the good work 👍 It would be great to have a version in Russian, the health orientated cuisine is a sort of a craze here, in Russia. People are leaving towns and searching for fresher air and organic food. I'm sure, your channel would be popular ❤

I like your use of biodiversity to keep the insects, birds, and yes, pesky squirrels going. The squirrels spread the seeds, as do birds. Maybe one day the bigger farms will grow a diversity of crops and we'll all benefit.
Now you also need to go and visit Huw Richards. This lady is a friend of his. He has an amazing self sufficient garden system. I think he lives in Wales.
I really loved the video, Mark. My favorite thing to do is see something on Mark's show, order some seeds, put them in, forget about it and then see something pop up months later. I grabbed some of that Himalayan honeysuckle.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love how that dear sweet lady takes the animals and insect into account and is okay with sharing some of her bounty with them. I do the same thing in my raised bed and ground gardening. I mostly do raised beds now. I switched to raised beds because the deer here are prolific and it was a battle between them and the bird life. I still give up my blueberries and strawberries and dogwood berries to many of the birds but there's only my husband and I so there's plenty to share.
(E. KY, US) That was lovely. We had a heavy flash flood, then a high heat drought. It devastated my gardens this year. I've been feeling grey inside. Your tour lifted my spirits, thank you Mark.
👍Thank you, Mark, for bringing us along on your visit to Liz's garden. And, thanks to Liz! What a wonderful self-sufficient lifestyle! Absolutely beautiful! 🙂
I love walking around a garden with someone that has such a passion and listen to the reasons about what and where they have planted, I always think I have more to learn. What a lovely lady and an amazing garden.
Hi Mark, the rose hips, my Good lady Wife makes rosehip syrup and simmers it with Vodka. Huge amounts of Vitamin C, much more than oranges, when it's miserable outside and we feel a bit under the weather, we will have a nip of the Vodka and it does wonders. Real good medicine.😊
I'm so jealous of the gardens I see in your videos. Good thing you chose the UK for your Summer vacation. Had you come to Greece you would return home roasted. We've had three months of temps between 35-40C (95-105F) so most veggie gardens underperformed massively this Summer. Even now temps are above 30C at noon.
Considering he lives in Queensland (I think? north at least) that wouldn't be anything he wasn't used to. Even in Sydney it can reach 40-45 celcius in the western areas, and we are much further south.
Great stuff Mark , that cheeky garden grin when we eat fresh produce is every gardeners delight Thanks to Liz 😊 It can be overwhelming in the garden trying to work with nature the views and landscape Pictures. 😊
Wonderful to see other’s gardens, and what they are growing! The countrywide scenery is beautiful! And I was googling some of the varieties y’all talked about! Thank you so much for sharing!
Helloooooo Mark. Well Liz indeed is a very wonderful gardening lady with lovely varieties of plants, herbs and fruits she's growing. Not easy job to maintain such a huge garden. A real gem of a food forest indeed. Ty. Mark, Nina and Liz for showing us around. Stay blessed and safe always. Love from Mauritius island.
Love watching Liz, she is so smart and always provides me some educational information, she makes me want all the things in my own garden, whether I should be able to grow them or not. What a great lady! Awesome video, Mark! What a lovely visit.
Glorious. What an amazing lady. Every second was enchanting. I could tell that you & darling Nina were in awe. All my UK gardening pals have had an odd growing year but they still succeeded. Blesses from half an acre in Victoria 🤗
I was all set to get one of those tempting looking Himalayan honeysuckle plants after watching you enjoy the fruits but found that it has become a problem weed in parts of temperate Australia. Lovely to see it growing safely in Wales though!
That was a wonderful tour. The lunch looked scrumptious! 😊one of my favorite videos of hers is of her ducks from her first property. I find it beautiful and meditative. Thanks for the video Mark and Liz. Great seeing Nina again. 🌸🌿🦋
I absolutely loved this video!! You and Liz are two of my favourite RUclips gardeners and to have you both in one video was a treasure! It was also fun how you filmed it so simple. Felt like we were there with you. Wonderful! Huw, Toni, Ben, all are so fun to watch on here on RUclips too. You'll have to make another trip over there for more tours 😉📱 With us of course to tag along! 😀
Really interesting and lovely to see ideas to pick up based on my own climate .... good old wet cold and windy Blighty!! :) Also fascinating that you were not familiar with Rose Hips - often forget that things like that are not world wide and that our countryside old style recipes and foraging recipes are alien to others.
I am an Aussie living further west in Wales than this lady (the same county as Huw Richards) - and I now have massive polytunnel envy! Especially as that one looks so strong and sturdy. My tiny PT got trashed by the gales last winter and thanks to that, and this year's crappy, non-existent summer, it meant I got hardly anything compared to the last couple of years. Especially tomatoes (not many), zucchini (not many and very small) and 0 cumumbers. It was really disappointing.. Loads of beans though, eventully (the slugs kept eating the seedlings..), and tons of alpine strawberries - and lots of garlic. And I have to say - iit is a great comfort to discover that it's not just relative newbie gardeners like me who have herds of slugs and snails invading their garden.. I give mine flying lessons - over the fence. But their extended families are massive - as are some of the slugs.. I can't bring myself to squish them as they are fascinating creatures - but they sure are a pain in the backside! Wales is great for herbs though., I have comfrey taller than me, loads of sage, 3 kinds of mint, lemon balm that is part triffid, LOADS of very enthusiastic borage, huge fennel that comes back every year, parsley, coriander and more.. When you come back to Wales, come further west!! Thanks for sharing the joy, loved the video.
I "collect" those slugs in a container after dusk, before dawn, then put the out just after sunrise for the local birds. The birds now watch for me, and swoop down for their slimy breakfast.
Great video, I moved to Aus from the UK about 2 years ago and I really miss some of the gardening I did back home. Things don't grow quite so well in the middle of WA!
Oh, thats too bad that you went all that way and missed out on visiting some of our favorite RUclips gardeners. I was born and raised in Manchester , England but have lived for 43 years in California; always good to go back for visits. Good video, and I know where the Brecon Beacons are !! Thanks Mark.
Hi all, that was a brilliant episode I loved every moment of it, so much info and pleasantness, you couldn't ask for more, thank you and cheers !!!! 🥰😘👍👍🙏🙏
How can ya not like nz yams lol, I love em. Sweet nutty flavour best roasted. I just replanted some after losing everything last few years being so wet but now I have all my gardens raised so bought some more to grow. You can eat the the leaves in salads while it's growing, nice sweet/sour flavour. Great bit of country side she had.
With you in the Southern Hemisphere, being so close to Asia, you should have an easy time of growing Shisho - Japanese basil, which is like a citrusy-raspberry basil flavor. That green leaf they put on all sashimi plates. Love it !!! Basil is an awesome plant in the mint family.
After WW2 in the UK we had a lack of Vit C problem . Boffins at that time found out rose hips had massive amounts of Vit C. The UK Government set up a company called DelRosa after WW2 and DelRosa vans used to travel up and down UK collecting rose hips from Children and pay them per pound .They gave out enamel badges depending how much you gathered .The crop was then turned into DelRosa syrup and was available free from children's clinics .You could also buy it .I used to love DelRosa as a kid but mum would only give us a table spoon full after we had a table spoon full of Haliborange which was also free from children's clinics . Haliborange was orange flavoured halibut oil and high in Vit D .This was a time when the UK Government worked for it's citizens .
I've saved you comment on file, luv. I'll ask my octogenarian parents about that. It's almost as if those in charge used to give halfpence about us mere souls 🤗 I still order malt & codliver oil & have it delivered from UK to Australia. Blesses ❤
G'day Mark. That was just awesome and I wish I could have smuggled myself in your suitcase for that visit. Looking forward to your visit with Jeremy as I have been subscribed to their planner for a few years now. I really enjoyed that. Thanks very much for taking the time to do it. Daz.
True though, to English people 100 miles is an almost unimaginable distance. To Londoners, Nottingham is the distant and vague North (it's a two-hour drive). Wales is practically off the map (Here Be Dragons). Living in Europe changes your perspective a little bit. It's because Britain is so densely populated for such a small country. Go to the next town and it's a world unto itself, they even often speak with a different accent.
@@Ktki10same here on the west coast of the US. I’m traveling about 55 miles each way just for a chiropractor and massage appointment later this week. A 2-3 hour drive each way is a day trip.
Very cool - I was in Wales this summer as well. Lovely countryside. 🌱. Lovely garden, I hope to get my garden in better shape this year, this tour gave me ideas.
Good to know about sweet cicely. I'll try to grow it in fall/winter. Here in south Texas we are semi-arid with lots of heat (it's 35 Celsius 95F right now for the high). You have a boot jack! I haven't heard what we call them here, but we have them and boot scrapers cemented in by the porch steps, too! Thank you for spending part of your vacation recording for your followers, too! Such a wonderful garden! Nice to see you Nina! Enjoy yourselves and best wishes!
What I should have said first,what a beautiful garden you visited,its so inspiring seeing new plants new methods and someone sharing their knowledge. Thank you.
I live a little further south east from this area close to the other end of the Brecon Beacons, I would love to have 4 acres but that wasn't to be. It really is a lovely part of the world to live in.
I love watching Liz and what she does! I live just East of her in London! 😜 That did make me chuckle but for context the time it takes me to drive to NW Wales, i can also be in the Netherlands! Shame she didn't hook up her mic but an excuse to watch her videos, which are lovely. She lives in a valley so does get affected by heavy rain, which we have had a lot of this year and it has been tough on them and us as UK growers this year. When you say fruit fly is that the same one we get in London or do you mean something else? We get mozzies here too. We have had a terrible time with fungus gnats due to the mild winters and high humidity. Rosehips are great for making ketchup too. I thought you might like Liz's wine collection! lol Isn't NZ meant to be more like Wales in terrain? These past two years have been great for soft fruit and runner beans here in London, UK, due to the cooler, wetter weather. Also our best year for growing sage and thyme in a terracotta herb planter. Trying to grow coriander (cillantro) and parsley atm. It gets cooler and then goes back to average. It's not been above average this year atm, so might be in with a chance! I normally have to buy starters. Liz suffers with SAD like i do, so must have tough on her her going out doing a tour on a day like that. What i find interesting about watching YTer's in the UK and globally is how diverse the weather and climate can be, even from just down the road from us. We are so early for autumn this year, after a late spring. We got blight at least 4-6 weeks earlier this year. SE England has been so much wetter and cloudier this year. Hopefully that means we will have a colder winter and maybe even some proper snow! Thank you for showing us Liz's homestead!
G'day, Everyone! Thanks for your ongoing support and for taking time out of your busy day to watch my videos.

It would be great to have a version in Russian, the health orientated cuisine is a sort of a craze here, in Russia. People are leaving towns and searching for fresher air and organic food. I'm sure, your channel would be popular ❤

I want to eat your raspberries Liz. What a lovely garden love the sheep too
So nice to see Self-Sufficient Mrs. in your video
Can you get sweet viceroy in Australia
Sicerly
So nice to see 2 people that i follow meet.
I loved Liz's garden, all the plants growing together. That was the biggest rose hip I've ever seen! What a lovely, warm person she is.
Loved it. Liz is so great. My favourite gardens are food gardens, I lovevthem and could watch them all day long.
Now you also need to go and visit Huw Richards. This lady is a friend of his. He has an amazing self sufficient garden system. I think he lives in Wales.
I believe your right lives in Wales.
I think Mark and his wife would of liked to visit Hue &Tony from Simplify Gardening 😊
Yes, I tried to get to Huw, but we couldn't make it happen this time. I'll be back... :)
@@Selfsufficientme Enjoy, nevertheless!
yes!! I agree!!!
And Gaz 😊❤

So sorry to read this Donna, it must be devastating. Stay strong over there 🙏
That was very enjoyable. I love a natural garden where you let Mother Nature do her thing. You never know what tasty morsels you’ll find each day.
Liz's garden is beautiful. Thank you for taking us all❤
👍Thank you, Mark, for bringing us along on your visit to Liz's garden. And, thanks to Liz! What a wonderful self-sufficient lifestyle! Absolutely beautiful! 🙂
What a lovely green and lush garden!
These views of Liz's property is fantastic! Her videos are so plant centric, I didn't even know about the sheep.
This was enjoyable. She is a great teacher. Thank you for your questions. I learned tons.
I love walking around a garden with someone that has such a passion and listen to the reasons about what and where they have planted, I always think I have more to learn. What a lovely lady and an amazing garden.
oooohhhh exciting2 meet up with Liz!!❤
Thank you Liz🌷🌱🌾
I'm envious, you got to have a visit and tour with Liz. Love both your channel and Liz's.
What a beautiful garden Liz has! Thank you Mark!
It is thrilling to see how others do with their gardening. LIFE begets LIFE - - what is not to love? Thank you for sharing your holiday with us.
Liz is wonderful...person and gardener!
Reading these lovely comments is making my day! I had no idea how many people knew my garden! You are very kind, thank you.
Hi Mark, the rose hips, my Good lady Wife makes rosehip syrup and simmers it with Vodka. Huge amounts of Vitamin C, much more than oranges, when it's miserable outside and we feel a bit under the weather, we will have a nip of the Vodka and it does wonders. Real good medicine.😊

Wow now that's hot. We've had similar here in South Australia a few years ago. I dread that heat
Considering he lives in Queensland (I think? north at least) that wouldn't be anything he wasn't used to. Even in Sydney it can reach 40-45 celcius in the western areas, and we are much further south.
Great to see two of my favourite U-tubers getting together to share tips…. Hope Liz makes a return journey to yours Mark 😊
Fantastic to see you in the uk with Liz! And to see you've adopted the Welsh weather down under 👍
Glad you got to visit there
Thanks so much Liz for sharing your amazing garden and your wealth of knowledge. Much love from Queensland Australia
Thanks Michelle!
Thanks Mark! I thoroughly enjoyed that visit with Liz!! 😊
My two favourite gardeners rolled into one episode! You both inspire me to keep developing my little backyard garden by the sea. Love your work !
Thank you so much, that's very kind.
I’ve climbed the Brecon Beacons 3 times and got stuck up there in gale force winds once! That was fun!! Gorgeous garden ❤
Great video, Mark. Always lovely to see Liz.

Thanks Mark, great collaboration! 👍👍
I learned a couple years ago I have a significant amount of Welsh ancestry. So cool to see!!
TY Mark for a video showing Liz' garden/food forest!
Was lovely seeing Liz on your show.
Wonderful to see other’s gardens, and what they are growing!
The countrywide scenery is beautiful!
And I was googling some of the varieties y’all talked about!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Love that I am not the only one trying to outwit the neighborhood 🐿️s! I need a plan to keep them from eating my grapes!
What a beautiful garden space and a lovely friend! How nice!
Love Liz's channel. So thrilling you got to meet her❤
Whoa. I really enjoyed this tour. The garden and yield of flowers and produce were so beautiful. I'm inspired to do more in my garden. Thanks.

Thanks Zoe, it's much appreciated!
Himalayan Honeysuckle is very invasive in north east Victoria. It has moved into the bush here, along with Holly trees and blackberries.
Really interesting and lovely to see ideas to pick up based on my own climate .... good old wet cold and windy Blighty!! :)
Also fascinating that you were not familiar with Rose Hips - often forget that things like that are not world wide and that our countryside old style recipes and foraging recipes are alien to others.
I am an Aussie living further west in Wales than this lady (the same county as Huw Richards) - and I now have massive polytunnel envy! Especially as that one looks so strong and sturdy. My tiny PT got trashed by the gales last winter and thanks to that, and this year's crappy, non-existent summer, it meant I got hardly anything compared to the last couple of years.

I give mine flying lessons - over the fence. But their extended families are massive - as are some of the slugs.. I can't bring myself to squish them as they are fascinating creatures - but they sure are a pain in the backside!

Great walk around Lizes garden mark. Shame we couldnt have caught up. Maybe next time pal.

His new place is just over the hill from me, amazing what the team have achieved in such a short time.
How can ya not like nz yams lol, I love em. Sweet nutty flavour best roasted. I just replanted some after losing everything last few years being so wet but now I have all my gardens raised so bought some more to grow. You can eat the the leaves in salads while it's growing, nice sweet/sour flavour. Great bit of country side she had.
Superbe vidéo
À bientôt
Thoroughly enjoyed this today. Thank you. Back here in Aus.
With you in the Southern Hemisphere, being so close to Asia, you should have an easy time of growing Shisho - Japanese basil, which is like a citrusy-raspberry basil flavor. That green leaf they put on all sashimi plates. Love it !!! Basil is an awesome plant in the mint family.
After WW2 in the UK we had a lack of Vit C problem . Boffins at that time found out rose hips had massive amounts of Vit C.
The UK Government set up a company called DelRosa after WW2 and DelRosa vans used to travel up and down UK collecting rose hips from Children and pay them per pound .They gave out enamel badges depending how much you gathered .The crop was then turned into DelRosa syrup and was available free from children's clinics .You could also buy it .I used to love DelRosa as a kid but mum would only give us a table spoon full after we had a table spoon full of Haliborange which was also free from children's clinics .

I love the Aussie description of travelling across the UK, Bath being just west of London 😂
Well, go fix the rest of the UK so that it's safe to travel & live. 😎
LOL - yes! Bath would be just down the road in Aussie distances!
True though, to English people 100 miles is an almost unimaginable distance. To Londoners, Nottingham is the distant and vague North (it's a two-hour drive).

Very cool - I was in Wales this summer as well. Lovely countryside. 🌱. Lovely garden, I hope to get my garden in better shape this year, this tour gave me ideas.
Good to know about sweet cicely. I'll try to grow it in fall/winter. Here in south Texas we are semi-arid with lots of heat (it's 35 Celsius 95F right now for the high).
You have a boot jack! I haven't heard what we call them here, but we have them and boot scrapers cemented in by the porch steps, too! Thank you for spending part of your vacation recording for your followers, too! Such a wonderful garden! Nice to see you Nina! Enjoy yourselves and best wishes!
Licorice is made from a root used to be grown prolifically in Yorkshire round the Wakefield area
You would love Charles Dowdings no dig garden,if you come back its a must see.
What I should have said first,what a beautiful garden you visited,its so inspiring seeing new plants new methods and someone sharing their knowledge. Thank you.
I am getting a Sweet Cicely and Himalayan Honeysuckle Plant. Those sound delicious.
I live a little further south east from this area close to the other end of the Brecon Beacons, I would love to have 4 acres but that wasn't to be. It really is a lovely part of the world to live in.
We moved here from our last home near Chepstow three years ago. I certainly miss the drier climate of east of the Brecons!
I love watching Liz and what she does! I live just East of her in London! 😜 That did make me chuckle but for context the time it takes me to drive to NW Wales, i can also be in the Netherlands!

Rosehips are great for making ketchup too.
I thought you might like Liz's wine collection! lol
Isn't NZ meant to be more like Wales in terrain?
These past two years have been great for soft fruit and runner beans here in London, UK, due to the cooler, wetter weather. Also our best year for growing sage and thyme in a terracotta herb planter. Trying to grow coriander (cillantro) and parsley atm. It gets cooler and then goes back to average. It's not been above average this year atm, so might be in with a chance! I normally have to buy starters.
Liz suffers with SAD like i do, so must have tough on her her going out doing a tour on a day like that.
What i find interesting about watching YTer's in the UK and globally is how diverse the weather and climate can be, even from just down the road from us.
We are so early for autumn this year, after a late spring. We got blight at least 4-6 weeks earlier this year. SE England has been so much wetter and cloudier this year. Hopefully that means we will have a colder winter and maybe even some proper snow!
Thank you for showing us Liz's homestead!
