We always struggle with potatoes for some reason, despite continual improvement of our soil. You just inspired me to try smaller, multiple beds of taters, instead of one big market row. Might help us also see where they’re happiest! We still have another 4ish weeks before we can plant most stuff here, but this is the first season of trying no dig!! Hat looks great btw 😉 Thanks Huw!!!
I love your new book!!! I love all your books and videos. Thank you. I am building a greenhouse this year and now that I have read your Permaculture Garden Book, I am changing the design a little and I am very excited because I think it is going to be even better! It's not just going to give me food for my kitchen in the winter but also be a beautiful peaceful place to go to during the snowy New England winters. Your book has also shown me how to think differently on solving the problems that I have in my garden, and I am trying new things this year that will maybe give me better results.
I have a hat that looks just like that one. I added one of my roosters lost tail feathers to the black ribbon and I always get compliments on it. You look great, but I may be a bit bias!
Just had a polytunnel delivered this morning! I'm very excited about it. I'm turning the top half of my garden into a veg plot. It will only be small but hopefully enough for me ☺️
Great hat! Shield bug looks like what we call stink bugs here in Canada. Very invasive. No predators here and they ruin veggie crops especially my tomatoes. Stink when distressed or killed.
Instead of pulling plants up, I cut them off at ground level so I don't disturb the earthworms and microbes around the roots. I love the hat! Gardening Gangsta!
I find it interesting that my comfrey, growing in west central Montana , USA, also is an absolute magnet for bumblebees. Elevation at 4000 feet or roughly 1300 meters. I grow both Bocking 4 and Bocking 14. Mine are only a few centimeters tall as they emerged in the last week or so. Thanks for sharing your garden.
Thumbs up for the hat! I am a life-long hat lover and have always mourned the demise of hats in modern life as a daily staple, (baseball hats have no place off a ball field, they are hat imposters). For gardening a hat is a necessity and the bigger the brim the better!
Another great video!😊 Love the hat!!!❤ I hardly ever am in my garden without a big straw hat. I'm a pretend scarecrow for the numerous birds in the area, and it protects me from the sun. I've been blessed with a full sun garden. Looks like all is going well so far this growing season and I'm super envious of your asterian tree cabbage! 😁

Love the hat! Do what you need to protect yourself from the sun.
Nice hat Huw! do you have any recommendations of what to plant alongside potatoes (other than leeks)? Just put some in recently.
Like the Comfrey / compost combo.
You look fabulous in the hat. The garden so lovely.wow so much green.
Cow parsley tastes of cucumber crossed with aniseed! Cheers Huw, lots of good things there.
That bed of greens is lovely! 🥬 😍
Do the cabbage whites leave the tree cabbage alone?
Immediate and only comment is: keep the hat. Looks great.
You have the giggles today!😄It all looks good Huw!

I think your mic was peaking

Thank you !!! xx
thank you so much for the tip for leaving brassica flowers in the garden to attract bees.
Nice Hat!

Love your channel, but the sound is so bad I can hardly listen to it. Please, please, please get some better sound equipment. 🙏

Love the hat Huw…. ❤
The hat looks lovely!
Dearest Froto,
What in the world is a "Tree cabbage"? Please advise…..
Maybe when you get old and have a white beard. I think it will work then. I'd hold onto it!
I have a lot of the Comfrey plants, and I let them grow until bloomed and then cut them off and put them in the compost or mulch gardens with them.
Your videos bring me sheer unadulterated joy.
