Today’s video comes from my original raised bed kitchen garden, which on average, over the growing season, has had one full day’s attention every couple of weeks. It has been very much a focus on polyculture planting and growing LOADS of delicious food! I hope you enjoy!

Nice garden.
ā¤šā¤ļø didnāt know about butterflies & rotting fruit, how adorable!
Gorgeous fennel ā¤ might have to have a go next season. Did you just sow the leeks close together in rows? I'm interested as I have quite small raised beds in my garden which this type of sowing may suit. Thank you.
Always interesting, though I don't have a garden myself.
Not going to agree with the bioabundance idea. The reason being is that there is a level of abundance were any species becomes an infestation. There needs to be a balance.
Many species in balance is the key. Not too many or too few of any one species.
Hello. Huw š
In MĆ©xico we use amaranth alot we nake nutritive bars with honey called alegrias you should see a video how the Little seeds pop up like tiny popcorns
I never thin the carrots, but rather multi-sow them as recommended by Charles Dowding. I always get a lot of good sized quality carrots, and it saves me a lot of time by not having to thin. š„š„š„
It's fun to grow and eat baby corn. Quicker too. Just an ideaš½š
I always let at least one carrot stay in the ground and bloom the next year – they have more different kinds of bugs on them than any other flower, counted almost a dozen different bees, wasps, flies and other beneficials and there are probably more. Just have to be sure to not let the seeds fall, or I will have hundreds of carrots in that bed – happened last year when I got lazy and let them go. I have a soft spot in my heart for volunteers and it was difficult to rip so many of them out. The other thing is, though, I don't have to buy carrot seed anymore (or dill or calendula or borage or………).
Low effort… no kidding! Look at the greens hills behind him! Show me low effort gardening in a zone 9b desert, then I'll be impressed.
The oca looked familiar so i looked it up and imagine my surprise to discover it's an oxalis!
All these videos are a great watching experience, but this is one of the particularly good ones, to me. A really beautiful day, a good peek at some of the crops we don't normally get to see, Huw very Zen with butterflies and bees and wearing such a nice seed-stitched sweater, too. It's like the perfect chill-pill for my brain.
Huw, pleeeeease, would you tell me why my fennel goes to seed. I have only one which looks like yours and is nearly ready to harvest. I know they prefer cooler temperatures, and I tried Orion this year as they are meant to be ones that don't bolt as much, but off they went – they are truly my nemesis.
How does your Kale not get infested with the caterpillars from the white moths, Huw? … i see you do not cover it with netting.
Genuinely want to know (bc my netting didn't work everywhere so for example my cauliflowerhas been eaten by them š¢)
šš do you ever slow down Huw. Iām seed saving where I can because if it grows well and seeds then I know it likes the climate in my garden. Lovely tour thank you, glad Agnes didnāt cause too much damage, Ali š§ļøšØš¦
over the years ive acquired too many gardening books. did i need another? absolutely! Huw's latest book is inspiring and different from the run of the mill.
You should try eating sweet corn fresh and raw out in the garden. It's amazing!
I'm afraid I don't like aniseed so don't grow fennel,, but I do grow a lot of carrots, beans, brassica, parsnips, swede, turnip, chard etc for the late autumn/winter
Hi Huw, I missed your newsletter regarding cider, can you provide a link to that specific article, or a source that mentions the government paying to cut down orchards? I am highly interested in this topic and would massively appreciate it mate!
