We show you all of the winter jobs that we’re getting on with to prepare for spring. If you want a maximum yield in the vegetable plot/smallholding/allotment there is a lot of groundwork in winter.
The techniques and plans we show you are from our experiences growing our own food on our smallholding and endeavoring to be self-sufficient.

Another great video, You guys are always so prepared! Im always learning with your videos. I’m trying to finish our veg area now, I will try and get a video up this weekend to give another update.
I'm loving your videos.! Thank you
very intresting especially about gooseberry and purning the pears. if the weather decent tomorrow I will have ago at pruning my pears thank you
Wish we had your weather so we could get back to clearing our field! Good to see how you prepare for the coming season.
Great video thank you
Brilliant video guys! We've got some clear weather this weekend so I shall get out with my secateurs 😊
Great video, very informative!
Your video production skills just get better and better.
Looking forward to some parsnip recipes!
Love your vids. Would like recipe and method for curried parsnip soup please……yumm
I’m digging out the last of of our container potatoes this weekend. Kept them in a dry frost free place and they have been lovely. So was really pleased with the advise about rubbing off or leaving eyes as I purchased my seed potatoes yesterday. One of my jobs for today. 👍
Great video with lots of helpful advice. I will have a go at layering my gooseberry bush now. Also loved the tips on chitting potatoes. You work so hard and have inspired me to get out in the veg plot too. Thank you 👍
yet again! awesome video! can you make a video on preserving meat?
Very helpful again thanks! A video on which seeds can be saved for the following year, which varieties you recommend, f1 seeds explained etc , would be great! It would give me an idea when ordering seeds for this year (I’m a newbie so don’t have any saved seeds from previous years and it’s something I’d love to learn more of!)
Thanks for all the great information!
Another fabulous video, particularly useful were the bits on fruit pruning I'll be doing this at the allotment, and propagating new gooseberry bushes. A harty thanks guys for all of the videos they make my weekend
Great video, just what I needed as we are now in rural France starting our new life as smallholders. We have 2 polytunnels and 2 raised beds with more to follow. Do you, or have you ever tried the no dig method of growing. I'm keen to try this as I have issues with osteoarthritis and digging is a bit of a problem. Also, our raised beds are properly raised, ie about 18 inches above ground. One last question, do you put wood ash on your beds ?
Hi guys. My first comment of the year so I would like to start by wishing you both Happy New Year. I loved this video yet again very informative. You touched briefly on your compost bins. Would it be possible to do a more detailed video on this? i.e. what you can and can't compost, when and how to empty a bin and the best places to store them etc. Take care and thanks again. Jo x
Nice information
HELPFUL CONTENT EVERY TIME.
Looking forward to the parsnip wine how-to Hugh
Your videos are always so beautiful. Is it the climate? I always slap my videos together and they never looks so polished and beautiful.
