  1. My mission, as someone trying to garden with chronic illness and pain, is to have a combination of perennial low maintenance veg for the winter months so that I know I have at least something to eat in the garden at all times (Oca, kale, walking onions, Chinese artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke), then garlic enough to last through the winter, maybe some leeks plus summer staples of bush varieties of tomatoes and French/runner beans (then I don't have so much reaching and less risk of wind blowing them down) and finally a treat like a few sweetcorn plants or a few pea plants. If I could I would grow lots more but this much is enough of a stretch. Watering is the biggest problem as I only use water butt water and it's heavy work. Each year I wonder how I'm going to manage but somehow I get through and have some nice fresh summer treats and winter staples.

  2. We've moved to France last November and this year's mission statement is 'fill that freezer'. I didn't quite realise just how much I relied on stored and frozen food until I had to clear it all out/eat it all/give it away as I couldn't bring any across from the UK to Europe. Just the tomatoes I used to always have in the freezer for soups/stews/sauces used to keep us going all winter. I have really missed them.

  3. My Garden Statement is to "grow new, eat clean, and live well. I have been watching this show for many years and found many tips that have enriched my garden even though I have gardened for more than 50 years. Huw should be commended on his growth as a blogger, his research and application of principles for good health.

  4. After 7 years of failing in a compost pile, I will try again. A different video said it could be in the shade. I see here that you have cardboard at the base of it; is that preferred? Thank you.

  5. Mission: Expand my stored foodstuff and have starts ready to go to fill openings. We have eaten the last squash yesterday. Garlic and sweet potatoes made it through January. Now it’s canned and frozen fruit and veggies. I’m good about poking in seeds but this year I want it faster, so I need plants ready to go!

  6. My mission statement for my late 60's birthday…preparing/adapting my garden techniques for the change in climate and my aging back muscles. Went with the 30" raised bed and felt some angst over the money and lack of "natural" look. Now, I can garden and have energy to lift my kayak and increase my energy reserves for play.

  7. Thanks for the great tips! It's amazing that you're offering a free course. My mission is to start my little Garden of Eden. I bought a house that only had lawn and some small rhododendrons. I started by covering the front lawn with wood chips. I plan to create no dig beds in the backyard in the next couple weeks with compost. I'm focusing on the most nutritious foods and high value crops (expensive at the store): berries, cruciferous vegetables, other greens and fruits, beans/peas, herbs, alliums; heirloom varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, potatoes. But also lots of flowers for beauty and wildlife. I've grown food before, but this will be my most ambitious project yet.

  8. Newbie to gardening and just discovered your channels (recommended to me) Some really great videos with some great content, all of which are really helping learn the basics I lots to learn but with vidoes like yours think im going to enjoy it thanks
