When fresh produce is thin on the ground, it’s comforting to know you’ve got a store cupboard full of preserved foods from your garden.
Planting for the pantry means you can enjoy more of your delicious fruits and vegetables for longer, and helps avoid problems with unmanageable gluts.
In this short video we’ll share our top strategies for planning for those leaner times of year.

After moving to a new area( and not having a garden of my own for a year), I'm looking forward to lots of fresh tomatoes and potatoes and green beans. I missed those so much last year. I refuse to buy store bought tomatoes—they're awful.
I plan to put up some pickled beet this year, still have a lot of cuke pickles left, and my favorite discovery last summer was Cowboy Candy—pickled jalapeños! Delish with some cream cheese on a cracker! Also found a mustard pickled zucchini which was very prolific.
I love your videos. Thank you.
This post gets me even more excited for spring planting!! Denver is zone 5 so our last freeze is later in May, but hoping to start some seedlings next weekend. I'll have to revisit my Garden Planner and make sure I've planned for the canning and freezing season. Great tips!
I will plant more carrots and beets to ferment for the fall/winter. I live in BC Canada and started a few seeds inside and soon starting seeds outside.
My garden this year includes flowers, cucumbers, beans, peas, onions, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, beets, cabbage, melons, herbs and strawberries. I'm also trying leeks and shallots for the first time. Love your videos!
Love this! I have been doing this since moved to countryside, as I remember doing it with my mum growing up in Poland countryside. We always pickeld, canned, freeze, made jams, compots, and fermented foods which are so important for our GUT and immune system such sauerkraut and gherkins in brine.
I still have my favourite vegetable, the green (and yellow) beans in the freezer from last year harvest.
Nice tips
Thanks for the tips. I'm focusing on stuff that my husband and I like to eat, cauliflower, green beans, beets, broccoli, and tomatoes and herbs, but I'm also planting some peppers and squash, and will do onions and potatoes, I just haven't gotten them yet
How wonderful to find someone else in the UK canning produce. I started learning this last Autumn and love it so we are well stocked in the pantry now. Lots of green beans, tomatoes and pickling cucumbers on the growing list to can later in the season. Great video, thank you.
I plant everything, from flowers to leafy to fruity plants. After 4 years we are still not self sufficient. I never plant enough to preserve till next end of May, when we usually start having new harvest. So far we finish our pantry by February. Not that bad if you think about it. But 100% is our goal. This time of the year the house is so green, full of baby plants. I adore early spring.
Im growing all can with this virus stuff about
we can't wait to get started !!!!!
Your software when's it ready to download in a non flash version? Kind regards René Larsen
I have just discovered your channel, perfect timing. You are a Godsend and will help to keep me sane during this crazy corona virus time. I don't have a veg plot but I soon will have thanks to you.
I have recently put my carrots in and looking what to put in between my rows any suggestions somethings that would put the smell off the carrot fly
Kind regards
Can you please do a video on how to preserve and can up? Thank you
This was exactly the sort of vid that we need at the moment. Well chosen. Could you please do it again and take a little more time and a little more detail – slow down so that we can make the greatest benefit of what is a very important element of ensuring food security in the uncertain months ahead. It would help with general advice and more detailed advice as to preserving and storing. My main hope is to freeze plenty of peas and beans etc and dry-store plenty on roots. Please give us some more advice on this. It would be valuable and extremely timely. We may be sowing and planting now but we can envisage the 'hungry gap' on the far horizon. Every good wish to you and your channel – you are doing a brilliant job – Paul
Don't know you name , but you are doing a good job in keeping our pecker up in difficult times. Well done and keep them coming.
Where can I find a list of vegetables and fruits that will grow in the northwest of England?
Hello from Washington State! I grow gardens to can and dehydrate every year and add a little more each season. This year I am adding goji berries and am absolutely excited.
i love your channel. Great info. Thank you.
Where can I find the garden planner. I am trying to plan out my fall garden in cold frames after the summer harvest but I have no idea where to start. And the garden planner sounds very help full.
Your pantry looks awesome!
I made the mistake of planting my parsley in the "far" garden; I won't do that again.
Please share more canning videos.
Hello what resource do you follow for canning and freezing please? I see a lot of it done in US videos but you are the first to mention canning from the uk. Many thanks Elaine
I'd like to have a go at making pickled green beans and beets.
