Welcome to a very early morning summer garden tour! A few months ago, this garden ran out of water completely and I thought all was lost. I should have had more faith in the soil and resilience of plants! But there were some casualties amongst the crops, so I’ve focused on plugging gaps and inadvertently created the most polyculture approach this garden has ever seen.

Gorgeous piece of effort.
Love embracing the volunteers. In doing so, I have discovered which plants do best in my area and tailored my plans for the following year accordingly.
I wonder if we could ever guess the variety of that potato lol. Unless you're tricking us!
What a colourful abundance! 😍 It looks like paradise. 😊
That camera shot of the calendula with the coriander and the dill mixed in with it, looks like an instant beautiful bouquet of flowers right there. Like all you would need to do is grab the stems at the bottom, cut and wrap a pretty ribbon around it…. ready to go! Beautiful garden delights Huw, everywhere you look in your wonderful garden plots.
Of the topic , what if you named your channel "Huwtube" 🤣
"we're gonna play a game of guess the potato varie-" "sarpo mira!"
Wonderful 🙏🌱
Greetings from Poland 😊
sarpo mira. That's an easy one!
Multi sown onions yield more but smaller onions. Personally I prefer this because you can just use one at a time, rather than having half an onion left in the fridge. I wonder if you’d have pulled up your clump of 3/4, would they not have been the same weight as your one started from set?? Would that not be a more accurate comparison? x
That looked more like a blueberry. Honeyberry is more elongated.
Just a beautiful garden. ✨🌺🌱
Looking good Huw, the mixtures of flowers and veg is a nice balance, potato has to be Sarpo Mira…. Steve
would that be Sarpo Mira, never heard you mention them before 😉 Lovely garden Huw
WRT the onions. I grow from seed because sets have been iffy for me and starting from seed has given me success every year.
"Your go to variety" is a good point. different varieties are developed under different conditions. One needs to find the varieties that were developed under conditions similar to his/her garden as possible.
i will be trying to grow my own seeds though. That way, genetic drift will develop a variety adapted to my conditions.
So beautiful your garden. We are in holidays right now in Croatia, westcoast of Istria and its also absolut beautiful here. There are so many little patches where people grow food and I love it. Even the soil looks amazing, it's red-brown.
Inspirational. Great content…just the reminder I needed after a dreadful summer…thankyou 🙂
Hi Huw, hope you’re well. Would love a harvest tips video. Perhaps you could specifically mention spaghetti squash and corn and how you know when items are ready to harvest. So you don’t go past the optimal point. 😊
What a lovely garden! So pleasing to the soul. I've learned much from your videos and have been inspired to grow more and continue growing through fall.
Maybe I'd let my brassicas go to seed if they weren't so clubroot ridden lol. Onions this year annihilated by downy mildew. Allotments are so tough to garden in properly, too much bad practice over the years.
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Looking great. For the potatoes I'd guess salad blue since they look exactly like mine unless it's more Sarpo Mira ofc.
