Hello. Huw 🖐
Good Morning…Happy June!!! 😃
I love the idea of naming the kohlrabis!! So cute. Thank you for your content😊
Still very cold in Middle Europe – growth is 2 weeks delayed despite lots of sunshine. Soil warms up very slowly… Thank you! Ralf (Author of 'Garden Communities')
Always love your videos, sad to see those chemtrails French beans from ruining your beautiful setting. Do you not even notice them in your shots or in your editing? Don't mean to be negative, but…
What do you think of using a plastic cover over carrots to create condensation?
Video?
Lol. Our crop planting just began in Michigan.
It's winter over here in Cap Town, South Africa. Things grow slower, but being a Mediteranean climate I grow almost anything and some stuff I over winter outside in the weather.
There is something really soothing about seeing these shots of such a lush garden! Especially at his time of year when the leaves still have that freshness to them.
The nights have been unusually cold over here in the Netherlands, so the annuals are all still quite tiny, but I'm really looking forward to the moment the growth will really kick in.
I'm trying your carrot-sowing method this season! I'm very curious to see how it goes.
How about kale for winter harvest?
I love those second chance crops. My carrots didn't germinate this spring. Love that I can try again. Thanks Huw! 😊
This gives me hope!! ❤
I have squash or marrow (lost name label) in the greenhouse. Do I have to fertilise each fruit as they don’t get bees in?
What ever I do with pak choi it bolts. Always thought heat played a factor so I've tried earlier in the year but it still bolted relatively quickly. Although not as quickly as the year before. Maybe not though if you get success at this time. The other factor I assumed was the long days so will try again in dappled shade and see if that helps

I'm in zone 6b and have had to plant my zucchini, cucumber, peppers and winter squash in pots so I can bring them in at night…last night we got down to 40F. Hoping to get them in the ground next week… but will still have to watch night temps & cover stuff.
Pak Choi is a MASSIVE slug magnet. Mine were decimated last year.
Huw, I'm shocked you listed Pak Choy. I've tried it for the first time this year and it's been a bit of a failure. They bolt like no other. How do you keep yours compact and not bolting?
In NW PA we have not even planted yet. Too soon.
I tried growing pak chou in pots last year, and it had eggs on it from both the green shield bug and a white butterfly species. There were aphids and ladybird eggs too. Then there were slugs and woodlice chomping on them. They proved to be a good wildlife plant!
A total failure of the harvest though. I love pak choi to give it another go once I have some veg beds prepared.
How much of the onion leaves can be harvested without jeopardising the growth of the bulb in the ground please?
Such a useful video, I’m trying to make the most of my space so these will be a good way 👍
I like the idea I have more time . I am a beginner and haven’t a green house. Is it possible to grow outside ?
Thanks for the vid, Is it to late to start planting purple sprouting broccoli?
Nice video, Huw, thank you for being so encouraging and excited about the garden. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Out to plant more lettuce, pak choi, and radishes ❤
You are obviously not experiencing the bitterly cold winds that we are in France….all my bean and pea plants have wind burn, and no seeds that I have sown direct have germinated. It's a tough year so far, but your smallholding looks wonderful.
He looks like a young Gardening version of Paul Hollywood
My pak choi bolted straight away… 😑
I can't help myself, but I have to say it. Is the movie star YOUNG SHELDON related to you ? It looks like you guys must be brothers 😂😂😂😂
A question: Can you use pine needles as mulch in a vegie garden?
I don't know how you do it…I could NEVER grow lettuche unprotected 😢
This year has been cold til May and now we have strong sunshine with cold northerly winds so the ground is very dry and the plants have windburn. Hoping my carrots will grow. Great video as ever Huw, thanks
Rule #1 for EVERY gardener! Put coke cans, or yogurt pots over those bamboo ends!!!
If you bend down onto one of those you will not rub it better!!! 😜
Just wondering how do you stop your pak cjoi from being eaten. They slugs mangled mine!
Is it too late to re sow my squashes and cucumbers? They all bit the dust yesterday because of freezing cold winds 😩
