I’m very excited to share with you an early morning garden tour of the raised bed kitchen garden in August and show you some of the things that have been going on! Be prepared to see a huge difference between August and September as we move towards a complete shift in seasons. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed filming and editing it!

It’s called companion gardening look into the 3 sister methods, us Indigenous people have a lot of knowledge because despite popular belief we weren’t majority nomads
What an absolutely amazing garden! So far this year my beans and cucumbers were a FAIL. Even the tomatoes were such a disappointment, but finally ended up with a small success with my bell peppers.
Love it, just love it! Amazing garden!
I would love your recipe for courgette soup please.
Congrats with the garden centre! How exciting!
Wonderful discovery about beans growing up sunflowers. I will definitely try next year!
Your garden is lovely! My garden is too small for Amaranth, but I have a low growing Celosia variety that is just stunning. I love your idea to trellis pole beans up sunflowers. I will put this to use next year by growing beans up my bucket of Jerusalem Artichokes. It’s always a win to figure out how to fit more into my limited space.
Your wild area that you're going to clear out looks like it might have giant hogweed. Be careful!
The most incredible crop is a raised garden bed ad? I don't get this.
Wow the garden is looking amazing and that amaranth sure is pretty!
My beans just now started growing right as the sunflowers I planted as their support are dying. Season is so hard to get right here.
The same thing today in my Canadian garden, a nip in the air. Fall is coming. Sigh.
Huw…I like the idea of these metal raised beds…the descriptions aren't clear! 17" tall but what width and length? thank you.
Birdies beds are great and a little cheaper.
Thanks
Hi Huw,
I’ve had my first small poly tunnel this year and it’s been fab. I’m just curious as to what else you will be putting in yours besides salads. I want to make sure I’m using it as much as possible all year round.
I haven’t looked into the metal raised beds because of the heat. It gets so hot here. I imagine plants burning up in metal beds.
Loved the view of your garden. So beautiful.
Despite the economic market crash,I'm so happy. I have been earning $40,800 returns from my $8,000 investment.
Hi Huw,
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have an Amazing recipe for overgrown Zucchini, you should really try it. Grate it like you would cabbage for sourkrout. Great some carrot, garlic, or shallots, add dill, and some black pepper. Salt like you would for sourkrout, squeeze a little lemon juice and mix well until it starts to create its own brine. Pack into a vessel, crock, or jars and put a few thin sliced lemon rounds in as you layer and pack it in. I usually Ferment it at room temperature for about 2-3 weeks, and then put into refrigerator. It's crisp, refreshing and goes so well with fatty meat or starchy foods like potatoes. I eat it raw to retain the good beneficial bacteria. Hope you try it. Mike
Hi Huw, do you have any thoughts about using metal containers in hot climates? I am in Santa Barbara, California and it only rains in winter and can get very hot in Fall. I have wondered if in metal raised beds the roots of plants would get burned? Thanks for your thoughts on this. Lori
The aerial view of your whole garden is breathtaking 🙂 Huw, your love for your garden just warms my heart 🙂 You refer to each plant with tender reverence….. how can they not grow lovingly for you 🙂 What a joyful tour of your garden 🙂 My sentiments for my garden are equal to yours. Life is a beautiful Blessing when we work along with God's Mother Earth and She gifts us with a bountiful harvest. Thank you for your Love for Gardening and sharing that Love with us 🙂
Lovely video, as always. And that amaranth is gorgeous. I think amaranth "popcorn" is absolutely delicious, better than corn popcorn. And they're such beautiful plants too.
Beans next to sunflowers is a great idea! Definitely worth to think about 🙂
