Happy Easter Huw.
Have finally got your book. I love it atm. It's easy to read as I have dyslexia so thank you x ❤
Thank You!;❤
I now have Asturian tree cabbage seeds, should be sowing them later today along with pak choi and collard greens. Happy Easter Huw.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
No land to use myself, so everything is in containers. I am going to plant up white carrots from my own saved seeds, Bok Choi, Calendula and hopefully some potatoes in a pot or two.
Lettuce was planted 2 weeks ago, just coming up now after a few colder night temperatures.
Cabbage is one plant I have trouble with, especially if the weather is way too hot or cold. Slugs enjoy my endeavors though.
I leave landcress to grow it comes up easily and is great for winter salads and stirfies😮
Me in Australia: 😭
is this all from seed or should i buy some sturdy ones from garden centre already started and strong?
Exciting time of year!
Exciting & thankfully I have all these seeds. Very excited to get things going!
I haven't bought seeds of Calendula for over 18 years. The flower has been with me wherever I move to and however, I can grow. Now I have a huge garden space I can use as I wish, even though I'm renting. I had my raised bed put in two years ago and this will be my second spring in this space. I'm so proud of my Calendulas from saved seeds. I use the petals in olive oil as an all-purpose skin treatment. Sunburn, bug bites, dry skin, cuts and bruises, you name it. I also eat the flowers in salads and use fresh leaves and petals as a treatment for burning myself on nettles. I put it in almost all my beds to work as a medicine plant for other plants. They're my little orange garden helper. Last summer I discovered a different colored variety amongst my usual Calendulas. It was sort of cream-colored with a hint of peach. I saved the seeds from it and will hopefully be able to replicate it this year.
Norway here! Carrot, coriander, radish, orach (?), rocket and some salads sown on frozen soil in the beginning of March (or even as early as January). Some seed we really have to wait with, but these are happy in the cold, and don't rot if the soil is frozen. Colder climates have advantages, too!
UK gardener's and farmers ✊🏴
Are these all things to sow in open ground and not under cover?
The snow is melting fast here in central Alberta. But my garden is still under a foot of snow. Can't wait to get in the garden.
Diolch yn fawr, I always forget to sow herbs.
I don't like the leaves but I do love the seeds for coriander.😂
I'm in US and I've tried to get the Asturian Tree Cabbage seeds, but nowhere will send it here. Does anyone know where i can get this?
What is the word before tree cabbage? It sond like Australian, but that seems to be a different plant.
What area of the world r u in? Cus that is what will tell me if ur videos are for me in the USA zone 7. Thanks!
You have really inspired me with your videos. Can't stop watching. Thank you for great content! My garden has never looked any better after watching your videos!
I planted some carrots, kale and broccoli today. It's my first year growing anything at all and I don't have a proper garden set up so I'm growing in pots and, in the case of the carrots, some old wellies!
It's interesting how zones don't tell everything about our growing area. I'm in Vancouver BC Canada. Our zone is 7b, and our last average frost date is March 30. (Local gardeners still don't put out delicate crops like tomato and cucumber until the 3rd week of May.)
Happy Easter holiday, a great video!
Thanks so much for those videos! I'm anxiously awaiting my book in the US. These are great in the meantime. 🙂 One question: when you say to sow, do you mean direct sow, or start in modules? Thanks!!
all my lettuces always bolt
Hi Huw do you have a video of the cabbage cover or how they were made I struggle with cabbages and want to make some x
