Here is a quick video to outline 9 little ways you can boost your production this year in your garden, even if you have a small growing area. Much of the points in the video will be further elaborated in later videos to look into in more detail. I really hope this video inspires you to produce a little extra this year.

Fantastic hints and tips here Hugh… These will be incorporated down on our Little Farm Mate… Cheers!!!
Most of what I ate growing up was shop bought (just potatoes and turnip in our back garden) I was therefore unaware that I could eat so much of so many plants…had my first beetroot leaves this past summer…… so I'm really looking forward to your next video explaining all that to us. Maybe that would make a great wee encyclopaedia? Marty
My main problem is White Cabbage Butterflys. How to deal with them????
Fabulous book. Worth every penny.
Can you tell me where you got your greenhouse from?
Hi Huw
I am so glad to hear that your Book has really Took Off.
Also l love the way you do your Videos as they are so easy to understand and the information you give us each time is so helpful.
Just to say your Book is the One Every Vegetable Gardener Should have on His or Her's Bookcase.
I have recived your Book and I must say that it's the Best Money I have ever Spent on a Vegetable Garden Book. The Layout of the Book is so Easy to Understand and the Details and Photo's are Great, I also like the Plan's you have Drawn for the Raised Bed Each Month. This Book is going into my Top Ten Vegetable Garden Books.
I will be Telling Every Vegetable Gardener about Your Book.
All the Best and Keep Up the Good Work You Do.

Some very good tips, thank you.
Thank you for sharing.
I still have a few days of freezing temps here.
God bless you Hew. His harvest will come in soon……..Charles and yourself are a must for learning.
John Jeavons ring a bell?
Good advices. Thanks
love your clear approach to teaching – re. bolting – I always seem to have problems with spinach bolting (and sometimes onions)…am in austrian alps – in a valley between mountains, so don't always get a full days sun (could this be a reason?).
Excellent …..loving your new book too !
Thank you didn't realise that the lettuce bolted last year because it was too hot.
Great to learn that you can eat the tops of some plants! What does bolting mean?
I’m trying to grow more food this year. I always want to do more, but I have limited space.
You are such a generous n passionate young farmer sharing such helpful tips n expertise.Bless you, young man,a hundredfold
Excellent info! Thanks Huw!
I love young peas straight off the plant, lettuce, carrots, tumbling Tom's. I want to grow spring onion this year and more winter veg. I planted stuff too close together in haste to get as much stuff in the ground. Struggled with weeds, the flee beetle and birds initially forgetting to net young cabbages and Brocoli. I'm going for the more traditional method of rows of veg but really struggle to compete with weeds ( mainly bristly oxtongue) and the flee beetle. I love growing food and flowers and I tend to let my allotment plot go a bit wild. I had some massive sun flowers take over my plot last year. I grew pumpkins courgettes dwarf french beans runner beans cabbage broc cauliflour shallots beetroot carrots parsnips leeks Brussels kale globe artichoke nasturcium calendula tithonia many sunflowers Russian giants harlquin. I have a bigger plot this year and hopefully can space the plants out better and grow more plants that will enjoy the clay soil like brassicas, space them out and not try take on too many flowers. I like the look of ornamental gourds. But I want to spend half the time down the plot and hopefully be reward with more veg than previous. I have your book 🙂
I’m just come here to look at your wonderful eyes lol
Thank you for the bolt resistant tips !
Hi I was wondering if you could take a look at my channel https://youtu.be/NMSBCIvpVy0 when you get a spare moment I have now uploaded videos onto my channel and if possible any chance of a shout out about my channel, and please subscribe to my channel and thumbs up and click bell if you have not already done so
Best regards
Jim
Thank you Huw – very helpful! One basic question: how long do you wait to move the seedlings that have grown in small containers to the ground? Do you have another intermediate stage using bigger pots? Thank you!
In regard to growing things closer together… I had some Jerusalem artichokes planted but they were so tall, they fell over on my plants. Reluctantly I cut them down and thought that was the end of things…a year ago. Then this winter I was going to divide a giant bronze fennel that was in that same bed. The fennel roots held 2 and 1/2 pounds of Jerusalem artichokes! It was as if they had taken refuge around the fennel stalks and roots. Gardening is always a joy and full of surprises!
