Welcome to another week and another entry to my Garden Diary series! Join me today as we tour the garden and discuss a bunch of my favourite crops that just keep giving. These crops are the best for self-seeding and coming back year on year, providing you, your garden, and your neighbourhood pollinators with abundance and flavour for (potentially) the rest of your life!

There seems to be a section in the middle with no audio, any possibility of some subtitles so I can know what you're saying?
There's a part with no sound just after you feed the hens
Wow! I love it.🙂
Lost the sound about halfway through but it came back. I love the flowers to eat.
I hear no sound between 3:45 and 4:15 ( winter squash ).
Hi Hugh. Great video. Just to let you know , audio I'd missing from 3.30 to 4.20.
Love your show.
Hi, there's no sound from 3:30 through to 4:13 just in case you want to reupload.
Edit again! Now audio temporarily isn't matching, It's because YouTube is still processing the cut, I can't do anything about it I'm so sorry
So sorry about the missing sounds during the squash shot! Thank you for all the comments letting me know. I've removed that part that has no sound on YouTube editor but may take a while for that change to happen to thank you for your patience! Edit: turns out end screens also become available when processing the changes so here is the missing link: https://youtu.be/BBIMPtGf9Cc
Absolutely love this format of videos, Huw! It's great to click on a video not sure what you're going to get and always getting great insight, tips and and inspiration!
The borage stunned me to tears of joy. And it's so encouraging when you share your struggles too. . This instill hope that one day I will get there.
Huw are the one I ❤🌲😆😉🌲
Nice. Thank you.
The only herb i have succeeded with so far on my first year is Korean mint 🙂 my parsley looks so yellow like its dying so i think maybe i have time to try again and do a bit more research into it 🙂 , this whole year has been an experiment so far , got about 20+ variety's of veg growing so i have my work cut out 🙈
Once you leave seeds and come back in the new year how do you not mistake them for weeds? Do you keep note of where everything was?
One look at your Borage patch, and I immediately ordered some seeds. Your garden is always so lovely and inspirational.
Of Borage, wiki says: "The leaves contain small amounts (2–10 ppm of dried herb) of the liver-toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) intermedine, lycopsamine, amabiline, and supinine and the nontoxic saturated PA thesinine." Is it then safe to eat?
I love plants that re-seed and grow again, but there is a fine line between re-seeding and invasive for some plants, such as Borage. Nasturtiums are beautiful when they are streaming over the edge of the raised bed, but this year they keep coming up where the cucumbers are planted on the arbor and are continuously having to be pulled out to give the cucumbers a fighting chance.
I went searching for cape gooseberries and realized, oh, he means ground cherries! 😁
I really ❤ the colour science you're using in your video, guys . It's perfect !
Could you say the names of the plants a few times and/or list the names in the comments section. Thank you.
I always have trouble with coriander….. what’s the name of your seed choice? S
Never have to buy again: I’m a new gardener and I think I’m a perennials guy rather than annuals. It’s just so great when perennials come back bigger and better in the second year, with zero effort from me. 👍🏼
That vertical garden area definitely has a savanna look. It’s great.
Do you have recommendations for a perennial garden or self-seeding garden in a four season location in the U.S. with brutal summers on a property that is highly shaded by maple and oak trees? We've lost everything in our gardens for the last five years that we've tried because most seeds don't even germinate in the shade and those that do get leggy and die. Even the comfrey is tall with few leaves and never gets bushy. Turkish rocket and Good King Henry doesn't go beyond 5 leaves at most. I need help growing food. I do have a patch of sunchokes that seems to be getting on alright, but I'm not really eating from it until it gets established. This is its second year. I started with 5 plants and now there are about 15-20. I'm also trying scorzonera, salsify, and arat root in tubs but they only get about 3-4 hours of early morning light. HELP! I need ideas for shade LOVING food.
A massive lot of herbs and vegs that can be left to seed –
Borage, nasturtium, thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary, basil, coriander, mints, balms, anise, fennel, finocchio, marigold, water cress, land cress, chives, shallots, scallions, leeks, onions, garlic, ramps (wild onion), ramsons (wild garlic), mustard, celery, celeriac, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas/swedes, salsify, carrot, radish, daikon radish, winter and summer squash, zucchini, gourd, pumpkin, cucumber, armenians, melons, watermelon, corn, beans, peas, broccoli, broccolini, rabe, brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, tree kale, collard, tree collard, parsley, cilantro, lettuces, sugar cane, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, kiwi, gooseberry, currant, elderberry, mulberry, all orchard fruit and citrus tree seeds, asparagus, bok choy, tatsu, hosta, rose, tea bush, coffee tree, papaya, mango, goji berry/wolfberry, aronia, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, jicama (yam bean), artichoke, jerusalem artichoke, sunchoke, lily, sunflower, dahlia, lavender, lilac, peppers, chilis, tomatoes, eggplant, blueberry, huckleberry, honeyberry/haskap … anything that grows can be grown to seed and continued secessional plantings.
My reseed gang is Solar Flare lettuce, dill, cilantro, Giant Red Mustard, Arugula, Bloody Dock, Curled Moss Parsley, Chives, Chamomile, Chervil, Pepper cress, and Ragged Jack Kale. Playing with adding more, but the last few years I have beds just come up covered in greens and herbs every Spring with zero effort. I call it growing my own weeds, acts as a cover crop and easier to remove for space, wakes the soil up before I seed and plant it.
Good Morning…Thank You 😃 🫛🌱
There are still problems with the audio not matching the video.
uh oh, i believe it's a bit more than missing audio, it seems the audio is heavily out of sync from 3 minutes to the end, different scenes entirely.
my 15mo loves nasturtium leaves and when she hears the flowers buzzing she puts her little face right up to them "The BEEEEEEEZ!"
I couldn't understand what the name of the flower's are?? Help please. Thank you!
what happened then?
There's no sound in the part where you're down in the sweet corn
