  1. Thank you. I’ll be more consistent with the weeding. In my do list I mention ‘gardening’ but never thought about memos on my calendar. I will not forget my initial goal to have fun and relax with plants, I have been stress out with the watering, weeding. I’ll watch again the video, excellent tips, thanks.

  2. Hello Huw, Llandeilo and District Gardening Club here. Just checking that you received my emails about cancellation of April meeting. Can't find a phone number, trying all other possible channels!

  3. One tip for you huw now i bet you havent heard it it was from my grandad when youve chitted your potatoes instead of planting eyes up plant eyes down this will increase your yield now you know more than i but i think its because the potatoe has to work harder to get to the surface
    When i was a kid we lived in abingdon we now live in darwen lancs but when we live down abingdon we had a huge back garden so one year my grandad who had a large allotment showed us how to grow spuds heck he said well plant eyes down when we came to harvest the potatoes we had near a tonne and a half they were in a huge pile we gave them to neighbors all round
    I miss my grandad his gardening knowledge was amazing
    If you get chance to try a few potatoes this way id b chuffed to see how you get on
    Also if any of your subscribers would like to try a few this way first and let me know how you ger on
    Ive used it and its great
    This is first time ive come across you huw your a very intresting chap cheers.adrian

  4. Thank you for the weekly habit tips. I like habit #1 picking up things and keeping your garden tidy… actually all 7 habit tips make sense. I’ll start with the easy ones first, the 5 minute jobs.

  5. One of my habits is to spend time relaxing inside the greenhouse.. this centres me back in the pleasurable nature of watching things grow so slowly and eases any feelings of overwhelm and confusion that start creeping in. It also gives me time to look at each plant or seedling to see how they are fairing, if they are looking a bit sad or dry or whether there’s anything growing on my plants or soil that I hadn’t noticed when wizzing around planting.

  6. 1. 5 minute tidy up, keep things clean
    2. Look at your planting plan/ calendar (see Huw’s video on monthly planning)
    3. Spend half-an-hour reading gardening books and make notes (read Huw’s new book first)
    4. Conduct a plant health check, look under leaves.
    5. Always celebrate successes, including steps in the right direction.
    6. Continue adding to your compost bin.
    7. Do a quick round of weeding especially when they are still small.
    Create your own habits, start small, perhaps start with one habit first. Be specific and set a clear intentions for your new habits.

  7. once a week, tidy up bits. monthly plan. half an hour on gardening books, note tips and ideas. plant health check, check under leaves. Celebrate successes. Add to the compost heap. hoe up weeds while they are small. Succession sowing. make your own habits. there is my summary, for me :).

  8. Hi! I fundo your vídeos a life organizer! It calms me down. One question : How do go about to keep the garden routine when you get sick? How long does a garden "wait"?

  9. Mindful Monday- Read for 30 min.
    Tidy Tuesday- Pick up clutter
    Weeding Wednesday
    Thankful Thursday- celebrate successes
    Future Friday- Look ahead at gardening plans
    Sick Check Saturday- Check plants for sickness
    Soil Sunday- Add to compost, check compost

    Thanks bunches for your ideas and videos. I love listening to you!
