Thank you so much for making and sharing your videos!!
I'm really late for planting out my new garden…
Or so I thought!!
Thank you for the ideas and enthusiasm!!
Much appreciated these ideas,
~ and I will certainly be trying many of these myself this year!!
Andréa and Critters. … XxX….
Ps,
I am a bit later than usual starting in the garden, to be honest,
But,as I am recovering from Chemo and Pneumonia,
~ I admit that I have been feeling just a bit rough!!
❤🎉
Oh looking forward to this! I got a 40ft polycarbonate tunnel about 2 weeks ago and very busy! So much needs to be done, busy planting and scutch grass is the bane of my life, digging it out as much as I can but hard work
Sowing the squash, as in seeds or planting out? I've had many frosts wipe my plants out before when I was trying to harden them off.
Sarpo mira is such a cool potato variety. Thanks for mentioning it again; you reminded me to order seed potatoes!
Any idea if the flowers on sarpo mira are self- compatible? I would love to save True Potato Seed from them and see what other goodies are stored in those genetics.
So I subscribe to quite a few channels, and I can't keep up with all of them.. I always have time for the new Huw Richards videos though. Today me and the kids have sown an assortment of colored radished, mangold and peas in the garden, and I'll aim to plant som Asian cabbages and chinese chives too. Thank you so much, I love my book so much and will definately save up to aquire the collection.
Watching this is like if Chris Evans is a gardner.
I did not understand, did he say that May is late for sowing tomatoes, peppers and eggplants???
subtitulos en español por favor.😊😊😊
Lot work gone into your garden i was out breath trying to plant few patooes I do try do bits but so hard for me
Great advice about winter veg… please continue making these videos!
I need to find seeds for the tree cabbage!
Mid-May is the beginning of the gardening season here in SW Ohio, with the last frost date being May 15th. The cool weather crops such as Kale, Spinach, and the brassicas are already in the garden, but the tender crop seedlings such as tomato, pepper, and eggplant are growing in the greenhouse waiting on the weather. The squash are started indoors in late-May for transplanting outdoors in mid- to late-June after the squash bugs have moved on.

Been having to wait to plant because of all the rain here
Been waiting on this…. No month like May! Cannot wait to try some new summer squash varieties. Thanks Huw
These videos are gems in an otherwise bland feed of videos. The production is great, and the pace is perfect. Thanks again, Huw; I'm off to sow more arugula in the garden.
Huw,what are we going to use next year in the uk as the government are banning peat?
Never knew you got purple pak choi
I will never not plant purple sprouting broccoli again! Both shoots and leaves are edible and it just keeps producing. Love it!
Some very useful advice for substituting kale as I don't like it at all. Instead, I love cabbage,bok choi, greens, and will try the broccoli leaves as well. Love fennel, and anything aniseed tasting. I had no idea there's cabbage variety that only grows leaves so quite intrigued by that😮😍
I will dehydrate the leaves of my brassicas and powder for a green powder to add to many dishes.
Does "rocket" mean arugula, or is rocket a variety of arugula?
Does this in-ground potato method count as an exception to your no-dig philosophy?
My winters are just too frozen to keep crops in ground. It freezes to a minimum of 2 ft deep, no matter what cover used, or in the tunnel. Have to freeze or can for winter here. If only…
All depends on whether you are growing in AUZ/NZ Fall/Winter land … or our Euro-US northern hemisphere of April/May Spring-Summer … !!! Succession planting happens all through Spring, Summer, Fall.
Loving this type of video. Here on the east coast of Canada, my growing season is 4-6 weeks behind yours. These videos give me a heads up about what I need to consider next in my own garden. Thanks!
Great information, Huw. I just wish you would turn down the music volume. It's really difficult to follow your voice and get all that good information.
Personally, I can't stand aniseed. My allotment, is covered in fennel. It grows like mad!
man Huw you could feed tons of folk with a garden that size.
Goodness.been watching few of your videos recently all I thought you live in US…much more excited now to watch your other videos now realizing we live in same country/planting zone..😃..I'm on my third yr of gardening more on trial and error as I am planting few challenging asian veges too.
I'm in Portugal where the weather is obvious diferent and we cant sow most of the brassicas in may. But we do have several of those cabbages with high stems and big leaves. Look for Penca de Mirandela, Penca de Chaves, Coivao and Galega. The last two are the highest ( some can get to 2m very easy)
