  1. Thanks Huw, can you do a more detailed video on producing food over winter. I'm trying to maximise the harvests this year, over winter growing is the missing link for me atm. 👍🏼😊

  2. 🇨🇦 I’m curious Huw to know what onion that is you’re growing @2:41. Did you grow them from seed or are they Dutch sets ?

  3. Huw, I’m wondering where you start your seeds? Do you have an indoor set up, or do you sow your seed sets under cover outside, ex: polyculture medley April. Here in WI, USA it still frosts outside; where would I sow those suggested seeds for my poly culture medley? Right now I sow seeds outside, under cover and let the seeds come up as they may. It’s not the most productive, but neither is it the least. I’m don’t have space indoors to start seeds. Thanks !

  4. Loved the planting charts you provided! I did a screen capture of those and saved them to my file for future reference. We have a lot harsher winter than you, but the schedule can be adapted.

  5. Preordered my book. I’ve got all your books. Actually I have more gardening books than weeds. Sadly weeds are what I grow best but I LOVE you and gardening. So there! 😂

  6. I can't grow in beds, but I can grow in pots, so succession plantings are essential for me.
    I have to adapt the spacing, the number of plants I do have space for. It's a challenge, but I have chosen to keep my expectations low.

  7. Your video's are invaluable to me. I have just moved to Wales from down south and had the very old shrub filled garden gutted. I want to produce as much food as I can but have little experience of growing veg. Gardened flowers for 30 years but not veg. I have heavy clay soil so will be putting in raised beds and as much organic matter as possible. Which part of Wales are you in??

  8. Great video Huw! Pre-ordered your book but as I am in Vancouver Island will be May before I get it, looking forward to following the plan. (:

  9. Really very excited about your book coming out: I asked for it for Xmas and it is on pre-order… roll on Thursday 🎉🎉
    You are a total rock star 😊

  10. Cracking info Huw, pre ordered your book, looking forward to receiving that next week!
    Thanks 👍🏻

  11. Oww…..just that word “organized” sent shivers down my spine! 😱 Thank you for the “monthly plan” concept — I was simply doddering about with “cool weather, hot weather” plan. I think you’re onto something even my wee brain can grasp! Took screen shots of your monthly plan to get my creative juices started. Gosh, I can certainly start the next crop of seeds indoors at ANY time of year. NICE! Will pre-order your book, Huw. Thank you for your guidance.

  12. You are so inspiring Huw, thank you for all your fantastic videos 😊! I'm going to buy your book as soon as it is possible here in Sweden 😊.

  13. Super Huw. I dropped the ball a bit over winter so want to make sure I have more growing October to March, which pretty much means, get organised now.

  14. Successional sowing is what so many of our Grandparents or Great grandparents had to do because there was not that much fresh food, no supermarkets. Have practiced this for years, have many beds all the same size helps, but too many people don't know what they eat each week have worked out what 1 person needs per week, 3 to 6 carrots, 1 brassica, 1 kilo of potatoes, 3 to 5 onions(includes leeks and spring onions) 1 lettuce, 1 spinach plant, extras are per week 1 corn(freeze surplus), 1 parsnip (26 weeks), 1/2 pumpkin (26 weeks), 4 tomatoes (not plants), 3 zucchini(10 weeks), 1 cucumber (10 weeks), things like peppers, chillies, melons, asparagus and strawberries are all personal perference. Recommendations are only Guidelines. We have 12 plus strawberries plants per person.

  15. No crop rotation?
    Surely long lasting crops like tomatoes must be planted in different places every year?
    What am I not getting?

  16. I was going to buy your book but being in the other hemisphere the reference to doing jobs in a particular month would be totally useless. Im glad you showed that in this video. Shame really 😢
