With the first hard frost the growing season, it is time to shift focus towards what primary goals will influence the next growing season whilst the current one is still fresh in our minds. Setting your goals early allows you to make the most of winter to put everything you need in place to hit the ground running come springtime.

My goal for next year is to not spend any money on my garden. Not to bring anything in and not to take anything out. With the idea in mind of the circle of the ecosystem. I look forward to learning more on heritage seeds from you next year. Now you have me thinking on that subject.
I always grow Heirloom! My Italian neighbors didn't believe me last year when I was growing Blueberry tomatoes and Black Cherry tomatoes that they were heirloom! Because of their colors, beautiful plants and tasty!
I've realized in nature not every seed grows into a plant, there's competition and the strongest ones are the ones that get big, so I think for my saved seeds I'm going to start having sprouting plots where I scatter a lot of seeds I've saved and then pick out the strongest ones, and for leafy greens, the ones with best flavor, and transplant them into the garden rows. It won't work with bok choy which will go to seed if you disturb it, but should work with the rest. Even beets can be transplanted if you remove most of the leaves to prevent transplant shock, so I won't waste space on the ones that stay small and never grow a big beet.
I'm doing exactly the oposite. I'm changing half of my seeds to hybrids after 5 years doing hairlooms. There were years where crops were so poor that I could not share with friends, because it was not enough even for my family. Too much effort, way too small results.
you have as many ibc totes as I have
Thank you for this video. Planning for the next season is always so hopeful and cozy. I’m feeling very frightened right now because I have Covid—but plants and the life outside my window keeps me hopeful. One of the most hopeful things I can think of is to feed the soil and ecosystem around me with native plants for the life that, in the end, gives so much back to us all.
My favorite gardening channel ♥️ I only wish those seeds could be shipped to U.S.A. I only grow heirloom for the same reasons and love checking out different rare varieties
Yes, that's the right time of dreaming what one can do differently next year. Getting ideas and planning for spring while it's quite stormy outside.
Your plans seem really sensible. I am sure you will thrive.
I love farming watching u here
I have made the mistake of not planting heritage tomatoes. Inevitably a ripe tomato will reach the ground and the non-heritage varieties will not grow true to type no matter how vigorous they grow. It is one of the biggest cons foisted on the unsuspecting gardener. Heritage is the only way to go. Thanks Huw!
I save seeds too but find that squashes and tomatoes are never the same as the parent plant due to cross pollination.
OOooo so exciting! Also thinking about the future of the garden is such a good time to think about your own future and development of yourself alongside your garden. Such a lovely way to think, thank you!!
Your Welsh accent is so sexy
Going to look at heritage seeds for next season. Love growing unusual bits and bobs. Having great success with ulluco. Leaves can be used in salads and tubers are tasty, like a cross between a potato and a beet.

I find the stories of Heritage Seeds to be part of the charm, last year we had Mummy Peas that were allegedly a cultivar found in Tutankhamen's tomb, and on the list released this year there is a bean called Turkey Craw which was supposedly found by a hunter in the 1800's surprisingly enough stuck in a Turkey's craw. Not only are you preserving a little bit of history but helping these strange and wonderful stories of growing past live on which is a great aim to have 🙂
you video about making peppers hotter (8 years ago) was the first video of yours ive watched, then this video is the 2nd. how far you've come in video quality as well as speaking is tremendous.
Bought your book on Amazon, and now my goal for this winter is to read the book finding new ideas for improving my kitchen garden ))) ✌️
Hit a loon call next video
Totally random, but the music in this video was really nice!
