Today’s video is a tour of my no dig permaculture kitchen garden, showing you all the things happening in late May just before the whole garden fills right up in June. I really hope you enjoy this and get some ideas about what you can do in your vegetable garden. May is definitely my favourite month of the year as we are just around the corner from huge homegrown harvests, and the first of those harvests start to trickle in from the kitchen garden.

I love your videos. Have you ever tried to figure out about how many square feet of growing area it would take to produce a complete diet for one person? (Plant foods plus maybe feed for small livestock like chickens and rabbits.)
Voles…….my arch enemy !
Any tips on getting rid of them ?
I'm getting hammered by them.
Ever thought of storing the methane from the liquid fertilizer instead of venting it?
Was interested to see this as its late May here. I am in West Scotland, so a few hundred miles further north than you, and therefore mostly plants are smaller at the moment. I was surprised though to see that my beans and peas are bigger than yours(!) ( started them off inside utility room and in toilet roll inners to avoid problems with mice eating the seeds ( maybe works for voles too?)
I do edible flowers too, and was selling to a local place that does cocktails, but to continue I need insurance. Any idea where I start finding a suitable company? If it costs too much it may not be worth it. So frustrating !
I thought mangel wurzel was animal feed – can humans eat it?
Got my first rose of the year today.
My beans are under assault from squirrels and rabbits.
Amazing garden
I didn’t think raised beds counted as no dig since you’re putting new soil in it.
Hello I see your onions tops are all over Do you trim the leaves to get bigger bulbs or doesn’t it make a difference? I love your garden and content
Beautiful! You are the best and could you show us a recording on thinning of vegetables that have been hand sown? Keep up the good work!
I got grow food for free last Christmas and it is so amazing and your garden is so so amazing
You are the best gardener ever
So neat and productive! I admire your garden, really~~
You are so inspiring! The garden looks so lush and happy:) I love you're experiments!
I used to do chop and drop on my allotment. I found it worked, but other gardeners seemed to think it causes more slugs and snails. I used to watch Patrick Nolan of ‘One Yard Revolution’ and he found over time he actually got less bug damage, although I don’t think Chicago get as many slugs and snails as we do. I might go back to trying it again in the veggie patches.
great tour
hi huw can you tell me more about the gardena hoe? which products of theirs are you using exactly. it looks great i want to give it a go
How do you preserve that many onions? Love love your videos. Im starting this year for the first time and your videos are a huge help. Thanks so much 😀
Thanks
That was a wonderful video. Your garden is looking stunning. Love the mixed planting in the beds and the compost pathways. Thought it was interesting when you said that you don't particularly like kale. Shredded finely, added to cabbage, dandelions, mint, coriander, grated carrot, onion tops makes a delicious salad. I eat a lot of amaranth leaves. If they have too much access to nitrogen, the leaves are overly bitter. I think I would keep the plants out of the raised beds and pick your worst soil/dirt. Grape leaves are also edible.
Its so beautiful and healthy.
I've grown my potatoes in big buckets for years now. At the end of the season when the tops have died back we tip them upside down to protect from excess rain, they keep very well like that. We are going into winter now and I still have 4 big buckets outside. That will last me about 8 weeks. Last year's got too much rain and they blighted. One good thing about doing it this way is that if u have to shift, u can take them with u. I learnt a tip from a maori lady her in NZ, she said to keep potatoes in the fridge, they last a long time
Mr. Richards, I’m also growing the Trail of Tears beans, and two of mine have suddenly developed one or two brown, curling leaves apiece. Do you have any suggestions for me to fix this? I’m in Connecticut, USA.
Love your channel!!
Your garden looks great Huw. I just pickup up your book, just started reading it. It's very well put together and is full of great information in it. I can't wait to finish it.
