  1. I love this format. Despite the majority’s resistance to this break from the norm, I think you could use it 4 times a year ie the start of each season. It gives so many things for people to think about prior to each season and then you can back up the most important ideas with a further,more in depth video!

  2. I usually watch Videos before I go to sleep, so i sometimes have to skip Videos which are too long. But then i watch it some days later. Its nice to have a short "to Do list", but with the running seconds and the sounds it felt rushed.I like it a bit smoother, gardening also isnt a rush but has to take its time.

  3. Made me feel anxious Hugh. Sorry I couldn’t concentrate on what you were saying, just the timer. You put a video out with Liz this week and I really enjoyed it, lovely and slow and relaxing. Xxx

  4. Wow! A Huw drive by!!! lol Rapid fire video! It was fun and lots of information but I like the longer videos! I like my videos to do what I do in the garden……linger a bit lol Thanks for all you do for us and will check out the links too! P.S. I found myself thinking you were going to hyperventilate and asking when you were breathing! 😉

  5. A variety of lengths is good in my opinion. I don't enjoy a rushed version though. Speeding up the video is always an option for those who are pressed for time.

  6. Super helpful. I’ve got the weekend on the allotment and I’ve put together a quick checklist from your video. Also need to build a door for my poly curb before the snow next week!
