A garden tour in late August showing what is growing on in the self-sufficiency garden which ended up yielding almost 600kg of food in a year! The garden is the same as half the size of a tennis court.

Huw, this garden is a dream!! My own gardening game has improved dramatically since I began watching this channel and applying the advice here. I can't thank you enough for all you and your crew do. ❤
Thank you that is very kind of you!!!
Right now we are dealing with freezing rain/snow. Wish I had a garden growing this time of year…thx for sharing!
This video is just a Godsend. Looking at the beautiful, abundant, and verdant garden is just what I needed. Our temps have been -5 degrees F for the last five nights, our day temps the same or barely above 0 degrees F. We’re expecting a good foot or more of snow in the next few days (we already have about a foot , throughly frozen, on the ground.). While I’m trying to embrace winter this year I will admit to already having the future garden on my mind. At your encouragement I am going to try my hand at succession planting. I feel it has become a necessity as going to the grocer is becoming unsustainable. Best, TeresaSue
Thank you! Glad you could enjoy the lush greenery! Wow that sounds super cold and I would quite fancy being in all that snow! Best wishes and good luck with your succession planting!
are you doing this in Uk?
@@rejekaruman7004Huw is in Wales, UK
Already have the book on order and ca't wait for it to arrive. I'm hoping it will help myself and my daughter make much better use of our allotment in the Welsh valleys. Although I'm in my 70's and a seasoned gardener I find Huw so refreshing and enthusiastic and he reminds me of my own father who was a gardener by trade way back at the beginning of the 20th century.
Когда мне грустно!смотрю Ваши видео,и сердце наполняется радостью,здоровья Вам.❤❤❤
Just preordered it, Huw. With this plus Charles's No Dig book I know I'm going to have a well planned and productive year.
Cheers, mate 👍
I preordered but I wish it came out in January!!!
Such a beautiful garden! We’ve moved from Wales to Portugal so learning a new climate to grow in (bonus is we don’t get many slugs and snails, the biggest nemesis in our allotment back in Wales). Looking forward to your book and making a few tweaks for our dry hot summers. Excited to see all the videos coming up about this lovely new growing space 😊
What a beautiful garden! And such boost to my spirits as it’s very cold and snowy here in Colorado. Can’t wait to get my hands back in the dirt!
It's so wonderful to see your new abundant garden , like touching a little piece of summer now.
I just bought your veg grower's handbook for having a better start with my new garden year.
Thx for sharing your precious advice 👍🏻💚🌱
Great video Huw!
As per usual.
Expect nothing else now
Thank you Jack! Setting high expectations ;)
I do hope your book launch goes well, looking forward to receiving my copy.
Your garden is beautiful. It's great to grow and harvest your own
Magnificent! Looking forward to the new book and getting cracking with another great year of growing. Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and willingness to share both so readily.👍
Inspirational, passionate and beautiful, love your garden and dedication.
Huw. Very interesting and informative video as usual. Lots of inspiration for the coming season. Thank you
Thank you Stephen!
I pre-orded the book and I'm so excited to read it! I have a very small backyard garden, about the same size as this one, and I really try to be self-sufficient so I feel this will really apply to me.
Another exciting and informative video Huw. Thank you for sharing.
The small space is used very efficiently 👍
Your garden seems quite big, but it's absolutely fabulous! I am learning every year and last year had the most so far at 60 - 70 kilos. No tunnel yet...Thanks for all your advice and inspiration!🌱🍀😊
It is 125sq m, half the size of a tennis court for comparison. Everything always looks bigger in a video. Thank you so much!
Huw I liked the most recent newsletter on Set your goals for 2024. I tried the inverse goal and it really does work to see a new way around a problem. It’s mid summer, very hot and wet sub tropics here and the spiders and webs are everywhere. I am walking through them constantly as I walk between the beds, and covered in them as I pick anything and it’s certainly not giving joy. Using your inverse goal idea, I worked out that I’d be better off staggering the heights of climbing structures and fences between beds by alternating a bed growing climbing beans or corn for example with a bed growing low plants. So I’m going back to the garden bed succession plan you went through again to change it up. I always get a lot from your tips and ideas so thanks!
Wonderful information and tips...Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to get your book!
Thank you so much!
It looks beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Huw!!!!! ❤u!
I grow a variety of fruits and veggies including aubergines. They are gloriously and impressively beautiful. Their color, size and taste.
I also enjoy growing peas, green pea Pesto!
I'm indoor gardening now until next month when it warms up a bit (2 degrees here in midwest zone 6b).
Thank you for your wonderful videos.... Still learning and growing!!!❤
I've pre-ordered your book, only wish it came out sooner ❤
Thank you!
Awesome, thank you
Huw, is this your garden as it stands today (maybe yesterday 😏) in England? If it is, that is amazing! I love it 👏
it's in Wales
I’m so excited for your book to come out! Getting it from my local independent bookshop:) I have a question about your smaller tunnels. Do you plan to share how you made those? I’d love to create something like this for my garden! Thanks for all you both do!!
In the video with Ben he said it's a modified James Prigioni tunnel 😉
Hi ,love the layout of the garden...just moved to Norther Ireland and I need to redesign the actual garden, and looking at your garden gives me some ideas of a new layout. Also I ordered your book, cannot wait to get my hands on it....Just curious, what size are your beds?
Wow loved your garden❤ I also want to make similar for mine.
Hi Huw. This is just wonderful. I wondered if I could have a video suggestion. I struggle to figure out the successions of vegetables which would help me utilise the space to the full. For example, I know it’s good in terms of timings to follow potatoes with leeks. But what would you grow before your outdoor tomatoes? Or squashes? Or after broad beans. I am sure this seems obvious to you and many others, but I always find myself with gaps and periods when my gardening area is not utilised to its full potential. Thank you for all your content!
HI Huw, beautiful garden! I'm so looking forward to your book & can hardly wait to get out into my garden even tho here in Colorado it will be June if the weather cooperates. In the meantime I will be watching your videos so keep them coming. What are some of your favorite tomato varieties?
Ahh thank you so much!!! That is very kind. My favourite varieties are black Russian, honeycomb, sart roloise, sungold, tigerella, and green zebra☺️
I'm planning to preorder your book alongside some more supplies I'm going to need, but it won't be available before i need to start the first seeds, can you do a video on what to prepare for the first month?
Maybe recommend some seed varieties to get that can be sown early, and some of the things that need to be set up like a poly tunnel?
How do you get a wheelbarrow down those walkways? They only look 1’ wide.
Everything looks beautiful!
We are buried in squirrels! Any thoughts on keeping them away from berries?! Really enjoyed the video update, Many Thanks!
We also have squirrels and chipmunks. Hoping there are more suggestions as I can’t plant the above mentioned hedgerow due to my location and set up. 😢
Raccoons came and dug under my row cover to eat all my strawberries last year. Anyone have ideas on those nasty raccoons?
I love this, I do have a suggestion/request. I pre-ordered your book off Amazon (in the US zone 6b) but like most gardeners I'm planning my garden now and buying seeds. Since the book will not be coming out until after the growing season has started do have or can you have a supplemental guide? Layouts, seeds to buy, when to start the cold tolerant seeds, things that need to be built, and the blueprints and whatnot? I would happily buy an online PDF guide.
Wonderful video - I so look forward to your book. Do you have any tips how to handle mice and voles?
Feed them cheese? 😂 🧀
Am going to try French climbing beans ‘Abundance’ now….my fav till now has been ‘Carminat’ a purple podded one which is high yielding. Feel a trial coming on!
Great video! Inspirational, and enjoyed your discussion with Ben from GrowVeg! I’ve since been trying to source Fuego bean seed which you recommended. Where can I buy some to start me off? Thank you
Hi Huw, can I ask how big is your polytunnel and what are the dimensions of the entire garden please? Planning my own transformation right now!
Apart from raspberries have you managed to squeeze in any more soft fruit?
Not sure if I've missed it but what size are those raised beds?? What a beautiful garden... im basing mine of this ❤
Is there any chance we get the book in other european countries before the growing season?! I definitely NEED this book. Just starting my first allotment garden in Germany
At 2:20, what is the variety of climbing sweet peas behind you? Are they the poisonous kind or are they edible? Beautiful colors.
Well, I am headed out to measure what 10x12 meters looks like! Gotta figure out how to fence it off from the deer and rabbits.
Hi Mr Huw,
The update on your garden is fabulous and much encouragement. Yes , for your capability’s the garden size is small but doesn’t matter …
Your taking the maximum out put and its awesome 🤩
Thank you for your reply to my earlier question in one of your videos,
Also it’s for my understanding,
the poly tunnel is closed fully and how the air circulation taking place?
How the pollination taking place like honey bee etc ..
can we grow any plant in poly tunnel?
Kindly clarify my doubts, may be it’s a very basic questions.
Thank you
Prabhu from India Bangalore,
My experience in UK last summer with small tunnel (5' x 9') is that cucumbers needed me to fertilize with a paint brush while tomatoes had no problem while runner beans had almost no seed set. I had chicken wire over the doors. My conclusion is that certain insects will come in and pollinate but not all types.
I had lettuces that did well in the shade of the tomatoes and cabbages did well.
Plastic over the doors helps keep the 'cold out' in winter but not in summer when the temperature inside gets too hot.
Currently experimenting in the tunnel with planting the root base from onions and leeks (shop bought) and organic market lettuces and some of them are putting up green shoots!
Hi
Thank you for your update.
What a neat garden. I was wondering - will you get yourself another polycrub or stick with the normal polytunnel?
Thank you so much! No plans to get another polycrub at the moment.
Hello sir.
While using wooden garden bed made of wood. How many months or years before it will fully deteriorate that you will need to change po?
Thanks .your subscriber from the Philippines here
How you use Camera and coloring for this video?
What aubergine variety was that, theyre huge!! 😳
Do you preserve much?
What's next to thr fence, near the first small tunnel you showed, next to beets? Is that dill?
Fennel!
How much is the book sir?
Why did you put the potato back
💙💙💙
i just realised Huw is Frodo and Sam is Sam
💍⛰️ 🧙♂️ 👑
Do you have any updates on your secret garden?
This is it!
Where you live seems very similar to me climate wise half a world away. How much rainfall do you get?
Avg 1300mm of rain a year, last year was over 1500mm though
Not as much as I thought! Thanks
can i get the book in france Huw ?
Yes you can order I think from Amazon and it will ship, or from me: www.regenerative.press/book-store/p/pre-order-self-sufficiency-garden
Sadly my sea garden will never ever reach epic portions😢
Can you eat the leaves of rhubarb?
No, leaves are toxic!
No!
Helo❤❤
😊😊😊👍👍👍😊😊😊
Brah, do you really eat that many radishes and parsnips??
In one video he said he splits the harvests with around seven coworkers, his parents, and some friends. I believe he has donated some to a charity as well but it may have been in a previous year.
Are you guys vegetarian, or do get meat from a local farm or somethinh?
Amazing what unlimited funds and time will bring.
Ahh, one of those. You'll enjoy my economic breakdown of this garden coming soon, sharing all data, numbers, comparison, very interesting!!
'One of those???' Hmmm..........also please include the price of the land and how many people that work it and the hours they put in . I look forward to that.@@HuwRichards
Horrible comment from a jealous jerk. Huw is amazing. You are not amazing
