You are such a nice inspirational guy. You deserve all that wonderful produce
Pretty garden. I try to get to my weeds when they’re babies. Much easier that way. You have a great variety. Well done. Have you ever plugged your stack of wood with mushrooms? That white, rambling rose was truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
How is this guy so awesome? Loved the tour ❤
What are the wettest vegetables in the gardens lettuce turnip and pea lol
Can you explain how you planned your garden and how you choose companion plants?
Beautiful garden! Congratulations! You’re very talented.
Beautiful Garden , Cheers .
Do yo have a link to your green bean arches and bench area? I really want to make that!!!
Lovely
Ben, are you going to make hot sauce with those peppers? I can only handle the mildest curry but nothing is hot enough for my son so I ordered hot peppers for him to grow so he can make his own sauce this year. I've grown veg for years but this is his first time growing anything (he's 30)….well except the odd marijuana plant, we're in Canada so he's allowed lol.
Love this video
The gooseberry thorn is also a great cure for a sty in your eye!! (Old Irish cure)
20:47 "Cut"!
Thanks for your videos, all of them are educational!
My zucchini recipe that are loved by my family is to use it as a vegetarian taco!
Just fried with some sundried tomato, onions and some spices.
Really nice light dinner:)
Can you translate the video into Arabic?

What growth zone are you in?
you are an amazing teacher i love watching your videos
We go thru a lot of zucchini too, I usually have about 6 plants. Slice them in salads, make zucchini bread/muffins, egg them and fry them like my mom used to for sandwiches or zucchini parmesean, cut them lengthwise & scoop out the seeds then fill it with meat/sauce/cheese mixtures, saute zucchini & other squash with a squirt of lemon and some herbs for a nice side dish… I love them.
Hi, new to your broadcasts and it would help me to know the date of filming and a rough location. I live in the midlands and when you say early summer etc i am not sure which month you mean . otherwise great ideas, thanks,
(excuse me if I have missed spotting it somewhere on the screen )
As always your video is inspirational. Feel Ijust have to rush out into the garden and get on with it. And I do!!
Wow! The kid eats broccoli? Cheddar and broccoli soup? I'm impressed! That and shelling peas! That makes the garden worth while!
