  1. I grew my first vegetable garden this year and I did exactly what you referred to. I provided all the vegetable for my mothers bday family dinner. It was so rewarding to see my family enjoying the fruits of my labor. Thanks

  2. So…I'm the other side of gardening: a backyard flower farmer. I always add few veggies becouse i feel i "MUST" if a have a garden. But they have just taken the space, in the end they were not all healthy, and even sthing was, we are not eating that much from the same and end up in the compost pile coz getting wrong in the kitchen. So growing veggies does not give joy for me like growing flowers. Better buy those cheap veggies in the grocery store >> grow flowers and not buy it super expensive in the florist shop. 🙂

    Even i think every veg garden should have a cut flower patch to help wildlife and also to have a nice bouquet in the table next to home grown food. (Read: Vegetables loves flowers by Lisa Mason Ziegler.)

    But still you're vids are inspiring, i will just tuck a few veg midst the flowers. 😀

  3. It would have been interesting to see your finished shopping basket along with an estimate of how much it would have cost you to buy all the stuff in a store 🙂 Love your channel! Do you ever get below zero degrees where you are? All the best from Sweden

  4. Tanks för a nice video Huw ..as always…but why on earth do you cut off the green leaves on the leek??? They are as edable as the rest…and cut in thin pieces they will be as good as the rest of the leek..and have the same nutrition value…hugs from Gina

  5. Love it. In Canada where I am the grow season is May to October then it’s about harvesting and preserving before winter because of heavy snow….maybe some indoor lettuce and kale under grow lights then until starting seeds in April after maple syrup season….it must be cool to harvest all year !

  6. Love this. Where I live water can get expensive. One downside of only getting rain 4-6 months of the year. But compost, mulch, etc. are helping. Thanks for the videos, Huw.

  7. I'm a vegan and have a goal to grow all my own veg. The things you harvested could feed my husband and me for an entire day if you also walked by the herb patch. My favorite leek recipe is leek and potato soup. Certainly, half that pumpkin could stand in for the potato to make a delicious soup for dinner. Roasted the carrots, 1/4 of the pumpkin, and pattypan would be a wonderful breakfast. Steamed pumpkin, patty pan, the kale with a side of kimchi would be a marvelous lunch. Desert would be preserved or fresh fruit. We eat no added oils or sugars, so we really could be 100% self-sufficient someday. We have nearly reached self-sufficiency in our current suburban home in the Arizona desert, but the chance to move to our dream property up near Canada has arrived. Within a few years, we should be close to the goal again but in a more peaceful and favorably climatic location. Some of your tips about broad and runner beans will be the final pieces to my dream puzzle. Thanks for the great planning class and your interesting, informative books. Thanks for joining forces with other like-minded gardeners for a multi-faceted perspective. Thank you for this wonderful video.
