The tree Spinach, is it heat loving or is it cool weather. I live in the low desert of Arizona USA when would I plant them here? Summer has many days over 110. We do have longer summers. Thank you for the info🍇🌸🦋
New microphone? Your voice is very crisp. It’s nice
I harvested the leek scapes this spring and roasted them like asparagus or green beans and they were lovely, sweet and crispy!
I love your videos! Love from NY Zone 5a
please, no music!
Golden 'Boldor' beetroot is OP, not F1 🤔
The first we call Magenta Spreen. The white version is commonly called Lamb’s Quarters, a favorite southern American green. I love it cooked with some bacon fat or butter, yum!
Enjoyable video in these dark times..stay safe folks and luck to you 🍀
Thank you I want to try tree spinach and black mint. Good video 🇺🇲
Hey tell Sam that the leaf you were going to use with goats cheese, try this, its an old recipe from my palace days, ball the leaves, dress with olive oil and balsamic , place a round of goats cheese on a round of toasted brioche and pop in the oven for 5 mins, when ready place on the leaf ball and top tat with some homemade red onion chutney ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its ok Hugh you can thank me later 😁😁😁😁🤣🤣
I'm growing the rats tail radish for the 1st time and the bees are loving the flowers. I'm going to continue growing it, even if it's not a popular veg with the family, as it's good to find another food source for the bees in our mild winters.
Huw , can you please let us know where we can get tree cabbage in the states. I really want to grow some.
Does anyone know of a good seed company in the US that sells these tree spinach seeds? Not looking to buy on Amazon.
Thank you for the inspiration, Huw!
You have completely changed how I manage my garden. What a difference! I am in NM and at 7000 feet with limited water but my garden yield is so improved. Thank you.
Could you tell me the name of the treespinach in latin please? I cannot find the Dutch name anywhere.
Thank Huw for another inspiring video!!! I loved it when someone other than me struggles to get there tongue round a word, funny funny, and Huw everyone needs help sometimes. I just loved having a look around your garden. Fyi I have got my spinach tree seeds ordered😉 Thank you. Blessings Susie 🙏🇬🇧
In the north of Spain we called Berza to the Asturian. People keep the plant all the year and take leaves as they need it
Could you list the name of these plants? Written down is so much easier to comprehend words you never heard before.

when the cameraman started talking at 9:30 it felt like that moment in the office when the boom guy started consoling Pam – so surreal hahaha
Hello Hew – huge American fan from Connecticut USA Zone 6a/b; Your work has inspired me for over three years on my own permaculture adventure. I just recently became aware of the risk to some of high Oxalate content of some veg. Wondering if you have looked into the Oxalate content for those who have this concern? E.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7551439/

Tree spinach – also known as Lamb's Quarters or pigweed. Many consider it just a weed, but it is a nice green and grows freely around here and many other places throughout the summer. Some I do pull if they are in the wrong place, but often I will let them grow to eat. That and purslane are easily harvested and very nutritious wild greens that grow freely in many gardens without ever being sown.
I really wish you'd give latin names for some of these
Can you plant anything now to overwinter? Thanks
I haven't tried Bandit leek, but I allow some of my leeks to perennialise. The second year they flower and early in the spring of the following year they divide and throw up several small leeks. I harvest all but one or two which I let flower again. The harvest isn't huge, but it comes at a time of year when it is lovely to have sweet fresh greens.
Thank you very much Huw! You are truly an inspiration to many people 🙂 very practical and applicable ideas. Love your videos mate <3
