  1. Thanks Huw! I'm a Brit gardening in Melbourne, Australia. First day of spring here, so lots to look forward to. Enjoy your YouTube sabbatical & I'm signed up for your Substack 👍 PS: i can't believe you're only 25 – you're so wise & calm 😊

  2. Thank you so much for sharing your nook of your area! It’s all so inspiring.and please take your sabbatical as long as you need. Change is all around us! I’ve signed up for your substack!

  3. Those are a lot of exciting projects! I look forward to seeing the videos when they're available. I hope that during all this filming you and Sam take a little break and enjoy the moment.

  4. I would love to host you in Hogsback, South Africa – I think the regenerative / permaculture farms, gardens and people who tend them here would blow your mind!! From a 7000hectare regenerative lamb and beef farm, to homesteads and huge permaculture vegetable gardens it’s here in abundance

  5. Hi Huw, I've just recently subscribed and wondered if your flowering garden is mostly perennials? Look forward to seeing more of your videos

  6. when you said 4 or 6, I thought months. weeks is nothing. I could use you in my garden. somebody with a fresh look and maybe a strong back! how about coming to Denmark and air my dirty laundry!

  7. Hi Huw my names Roman im from argentina and been watching your videos from last few years. They really help me with consolidating my garden and olso like insipirarion and great ideas wich later were used in my raised bed garden . I started with 2 beds and now I have 12 . You and charles dowding beed such great help and would love to meet both some day kind of dream. Thanks so much !!

  8. Wonderful news 🍀 I would love to see you visit Laurie and Dan from the FREEDOM FOREST 💚 Peace & Plants ✌🌿

  9. Thank you so much for the sow today page!!! Indeed I had to often rewatch videos while standing in the middle of the garden and it was a pain in the a. The address is also so easy to remember, I will always come back to it. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

  10. This all sounds very exciting! You will be missed but I will be spending my time watching some of your older videos. Enjoy your break!

  11. Hi! I have been subscribed to you channel for some time now and really enjoyed your videos. Recently, I had I major health scare, was in hospital for 10 days and all I could do was listen and watch your videos. There was something so calming about your voice and the imagery, the way your videos are filmed. I am at the compost building stage of my garden (so phase one) but you helped me plan my future garden for so many seasons in my mind. That was a huge distraction and I thank you for it and I commend you for all your hard work!

  12. Nice one Huw! You've inspired me to reclaim a polytunnel lost to brambles and goosegrass and get set up to grow my own veg. All the best for the future and best wishes from Dinas Cross 🙂

  13. I’m glad you are able to take a break to complete projects and recharge to fuel creativity! So important! Looking forward to what to come in the future. 🌱

  14. Enjoy your break! Also, I have lived in several places in the US, and have friends involved in organic farming, permaculture, and food security here. One of the best things about those fields is that there are such amazing people involved. One of the most interesting agricultural places I have ever lived is Hawaii. There is a pretty fair sized permaculture community there, because everything has to be shipped there via container ship and the place was colonized by big agriculture, which informed the waves of immigration that was brought in as ag labor. As such, it is one of the most diverse places in My country, by far. But the connection to growing and permaculture is deep and some of the gardens I saw were stunning, incredible, and diverse. If you are ever interested in visiting, please let me know as I still have many contacts there and would be happy to introduce you. There are ancient Hawaiian community food practices being curated or revived, and they had one of the most bountiful and productive food systems the world has ever seen, and their ways have a lot in common with many permaculture principles. Anyways, it would blow your mind and be worth crossing half the world

  15. Very good of you! Enjoy your weeks off😁😁 i am very happy to see inspirational gardens, looking forward to it. Build it your own way👌🏼👌🏼

  16. Respect to you for not mindlessly following the algorithm. Everyone does the 11 THINGS YOU ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO PLANT IN SEPTEMBER OR ELSE YOU LOSE videos now every single month and it gets exhausting as a viewer. I really appreciate the direction you are taking this channel & with your videography.

  17. Love your content, Hue. Very inspirational and amazing journey you have done from your first vid to now. Would love to have a chat about a project im working on with you. Matt

  18. I just found the sowing information, which is super helpful. Thanks. My daughter woofed at Serge Hill last year and absolutely loved it.

  19. I didn't think I could love your channel any more than I have done, but when you said you were coming back with a "Huw & A," that took it up a notch further. ❤

  20. Hello, firstly, I hope you will have a lot of fun and great success during your break. I also want to mention that I really am into your new content on substack and I am grateful that the access is free. Finally, time for my question, have you already considered growing mushrooms or will you in the future (a great way to use pathways and to produce vegetables during the hungry gap)?

  21. You're going from YouTube because of the algorithm to Substack, but there's nothing stopping Substack from doing the same things. Maybe it's worth starting on Substack and then looking at owning your own videos on your own site. If you're using Substack and channels to drive people to somewhere you control you're more protected from algorithm changes. Another approach would be to transfer your videos from YouTube to something like Peertube. Ths is kind of like a federated youtube accessible from Mastodon and Threads, but is more management overhead than just hosting the videos via your own site.
    Props for not just doing the "YOU MUST PLANT THESE THINGS OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN" list videos. Enjoy the break.

  22. Hi Huw.
    Do you know of Four Acre Farm in Ringwood, Hampshire?
    Run by Kate and Molly, it would be a nice place to visit.

  23. Love your channel ( and your book) just a little request from a middle aged woman from Yorkshire but now living in sw Colorado, I’ve never heard of substack and no idea what it is!! Can you give instructions on how to find it and use it? Thanks.
