Hi ya Huw.. thank you so much..I'm in northern Ireland and had even less sunshine than you I reckon and probably/possibly more slugs too.. but I put a big roof tile down outside me veg area and found that id got a very large congregation of leopard slugs. Been collecting thousands of slugs from me veg patches every morning and rehousing them elsewhere.. but starting rehousing me leopard slugs into me veg patches and have really seen a huge positive difference in the amount of veg eating slugs. Especially the little ones which are harder to spot and collect. It would certainly appear that the carnivorous leopard slugs are eating up all the veg eating baby slugs..was wondering if you've heard or come across this afore. So fantastic to see you showing us the whole garden... really really appreciate it.. thank you. Pramendra from rainy old Ireland..😊
Not saying it can't work but from what I know they're omnivorous. I'm wondering what will happen once they run out of slugs to eat. They won't simply starve
Hi ya..yeah that's true but what I do is take off any old cabbage leaves etc and put them under the plate/tile etc with the leopard slugs then they tend to leave me crops alone..makes sense and definitely appears to be working. Thanks for the reply..nice..👍
Your excitement for gardening is contagious. I learnd a lot from your channel. And finally at the end of this year I will take over a garden from a friend 🌻🌱 thank you for beeing part of my garden journey 😄
Thank you Huw for the tour. It certainly has been a tough year. You grow lots of interesting things I have never heard of before. Slugs and snails have had a good year. It's been a battle for the organic gardener.
🇨🇦 Huw, I’m listening to your video with headphones in as I wander and water my indoor house plants. I love how , when not watching the video I can hear all of the back ground sounds. The rooster, the buzzing bees, the rustling of the plants etc etc the crunch of you biting into the fresh pea. Amazing job as always.
I grew the Lulu's Best Ever on your recommendation and had a massive and ongoing harvest of the biggest tomatoes I've ever seen. The biggest was a 983 gram beast but Id say the average was around 700g! What a superb variety!
I love how excited you get when going through your garden ☺️ Not sure it you use or know this slug/snail trick but a shallow dish filled with beer attracts them and keeps them away from your plants.
Love it! Thanks for going through the garden so thoroughly. I've also always ended up with sort of a half hazard arrangement as the season goes on. Glad to see a master gardener with the same 😊.
Great diversity! I have just started raising rabbits for meat and poo. and it is amazing how it has changed my gardening. Now I have someone to share my abundance with as far as the edible perennials and weeds. They love, plantain, dandelion, buckwheat, nasturtiums, comfrey, Jerusalem artichokes, and of course, mostly grass and clover. I think rabbits are the perfect accompany for permaculture gardeners. Especially for po that Can be put directly in the garden without Kung posting first. Your work is beautiful, thank you for sharing.
That’s awesome! We have rabbits too and they are for sure a spectacular addition to the garden! We even collect their urine for a liquid fertilizer. Plus the babies are just SO CUTE. Happy to hear others feel the same 😊
I absolutely love the passion and excitement with which you talk about your garden. You remind me of an artist talking about his Last art piece and... Then it hit me that gardening is actually another way of making art ❤ so thank you master artist for your art piece I can enjoy this way 😊
I doubt in places like California I could ever have such a healthy looking garden because of the lack of rain in the summer. Rain has so many nutrients that I dont think I can copy with only good soil and hose water. Your garden is the healthiest one I have ever seen. Amazing.
Parsnips, I had one go to seed last year, saved seeds and planted them this year. Far better growth, looking forward to seeing how they grow until probably September or October. They're planted in a deep but relatively small square pot, so I will find out how they manage to grow up. Potatoes this year are in pots, might get a decent amount, after last year planting only a chit which actually did produce a few small ones. I now have all three varieties of currants, hopefully next year more abundance. Everything is grown in pots, city life.🙄
Hi Hwu, I don’t usually leave comments on TH-cam but I wanted to share with you because I k is how frustrating this can be. I have chickens and I let them loose in the garden over winter and they have totally destroyed my snail and slug population. I don’t know if that is something you are interested in but I have integrated them into my system . Veggie scraps = eggs, plus pest control and also compost. Have a wonderful day and good luck!
Hi Chris, leaving Glasgow where I’ve been on an allotment waitlist for 4 years out of the estimated 12+ year wait! Heading to a more rural location where the allotment waitlist is less than a year! Very excited!
:) The enthusiasum as you talk about your plants is familiar! Keep the content coming. I enjoy learning from your unique experience and perspective. Well done.
I hope you store your beautiful big tomatoes the right way! When I was nineteen years old, I got a huge quantity - enogh for a lifetime... - and they made a wonderful salad as you can imagine (the biggest bowl of my life!). Sadly they were so many that some were bad and they even ended up in my salad. I got sick and sadly so did my family! Unfortunately I did not understand, so it became twice bad. In the end medication was too late and everybody was vomiting - also enough for a lifetime...
I had strawnerries underneath mij asparagus, but I found that they make a good hiding place for slugs. This spring my asparagus got eaten bij slugs, before I could harvest them. I have now decided to underplant my asparagus with shallow rooting annuals that i can plant later in the season.
Love the garden update. This is my first year growing Mountain Magic tomatoes. It will definitely be a permanent addition to my yearly garden collection
I love to see how a space can transform so dramatically, not just year to year, but even just month to month! We moved to a new house and got all the raised beds in for the new garden, but then I also lost seemingly every single seedling to slugs. 🙃 I’ve never had such slug issues before! I’ll have to try nematodes.
Amazing tour 🤗💜I purchased your book this year and have been busy creating new garden spaces / raised beds etc etc for new growing spaces in prep to follow your book & guidance for next year. My tree surgeon was in today to create extra light; also live in wales so we definitely need to let the sunshine & heat in when it comes 😬 thanks so much for all your tips & guidance. A very new keen gardener here (it’s like a part time job) seeded lots of flowers this year for colour & diversity (was not “glad” but hearing you also had slug 🐌 damage has made me not “give up”. Would love to visit your garden one day. Anna (Carmarthenshire Wales)
Really enjoyed this lengthy tour. You've done an amazing job and the variety is awesomely inspiring. It's going to take me a couple years to re-locate my garden to a sunnier location but, watching your videos keeps my moving forward. Thank you for sharing your journey.
It's cool seeing the small changes since your SSG book release. I just got mine and started it this morning. Lots of information packed in there and it's encouraging. Some of what we started doing and are thinking about for the future line up with what you do- so it feels like we're moving in the right direction with our plans. Last year we had tons of carrots but only 8 garlic (out of 35); this year we have no carrots except two that sprouted 3 weeks ago, but all 35 garlic sprouted and are just about ready now. Also have 38 out of 40 onions. The birds got to most of my strawberries though so we're going to net them next year. They're in 2 60x60 square raised beds, and I've only gotten a few for myself! I want to branch out more with berries. As a child, our next door neighbor's raspberry bush creeped under the fence into our yard and it loved that spot. It grew into a size I'm estimating as a third of your polytunnel. There were more berries than us kids and the birds and squirrels could eat in a season. I'd like to have that again. Thanks for the walkthrough!!
Well, I'm 4 minutes into this video and I have to say, almost all the plants you've mentioned so far with the exception of the oca, and excluding the rose and the apple, matures at 5-6 feet tall and nearly as wide or wider by the end of the season in my garden here in Reno, NV.. I cannot imagine planting so close together and being able to deal with the jungle. Looking forward to seeing it at the end of the season, LOL.
I loved when you had this as a self sufficiency garden it gave me so many ideas for our allotment which we only got last year (I'm now the proud owner of 3 of your books 📚 including the self sufficiency garden 😂😍) but I'm now loving this garden as a permaculture garden too 😍 I feel I want my allotment to be a bit of both, so that's what we've been working on this year (despite the slugs and awful weather 🫣) your channel is so inspiring but you explain things and make it sound achievable 👌 yesterday I picked my first ever head of broccoli 🥦 it may have been small but I can't tell how excited I was 😂
My first year of growing field beans for food rather than green manure…thank you for the info…really prolific and good food addition to my kitchen. Jinxy
I can't believe all the variety you've packed into one garden, it's truly amazing. I'd like to know more about what you do with them all. I am going to be signing up for the newsletter - just to get some ideas and growing tips. Thank you for being such a great advocate of growing your own food. 😊
Great tour Huw - So many unusual perennials packed in - Wow! Sorry to hear your Yacon have been getting slugged - Ours seem to get completely left alone, which is interesting ... Or we just haven't noticed 🤣 ✌🌿
Advice about the thornless blackberry, it fruits next year on this years canes, best to cut old fruiting canes out, the plant will produce the best fruit with only 4 or 5 canes each year(learnt that the hard way), sometimes the strongest cane is determined to grow in the wrong direction!!!
A major reason why I love gardening is it's artistic. And I can see it's the same for you, for instance when you were talking about the "bed that is going to be a color bomb". Absolutely gorgeous garden! Curious what you'll think of the taste of Mountain Magic F1. My parents tried it last year and found the taste mediocre.
Just discovered your channel...love your enthusiasm and such in depth knowledge of so many plants! Any chance you could add subtitles with the plant names your talking about? Or maybe just the most unusual ones. I realize this would take a bit of time. Either way, I am now a new subscriber and can't wait to watch more videos from your channel.
Wow! Thank you for this video! I'm trying to incorporate more perennials into my garden. You gave me some great ideas! In the winter months, when we are planning our gardens, could you do a video on your trellises? Thanks for all you do to help us be self sufficient!
I wouldn't get too excited over Salsify, I found it didn't taste of much. The interesting thing about it is it overwintered in the ground then started growing again the following year and was still fine to eat.
I LOVE IT!!!! so impressive!!! I followed the plan that you sent by email but with all the rain we had north-west of Italy not much as grown or as your say it : it has been slugged !! or slug damaged! 😂😂😂 I got a lot of beetroots, some cucumerbers... all the rest didn't really make it... planted new zucchini under cover
I love your channel. I use it to remotivate and find new things or ways to grow. I’m considering putting some peas in to see if they grow as they can be frost resistant. Have you ever tried it this time of year?
To deal with slugs, pour cheap beer into tuna fish tins and place the tins around the garden. Slugs love beer, will climb into the tins but won't come out.
Hey Huw, I’m not sure if you didn’t say or if I just missed it, but what are the Japanese non stinging nettles called? That sounds like a thing I should have!
That Yacon will take over the whole bed. I have spent the last two years trying to get rid of mine. I will only have it in a 15gal. can in the future, so it can't get into anything else.
Wow, so many edible plants i never heard of. Could you post a list of those edible perennials in your newsletter please. P.s. i love the book on self sufficiency.
Thank you for this lovely tour! Your garden is spectacular as always! I wonder how you regulate your sqash plants in the small garden! 🤔 my Spaghetti-Squash already has 6-7 meter tentacles… 😅
I am wondering about the soil diseases that come with growing plants in the same soil over time. I would like to try growing multiple kinds of edible plants near each other but worry about developing soil diseases for nightshades, brassicas, and legumes all in one bed at the same time.
I loved this video. You’re excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. I really like the idea of the veg with the colorful leaf kind of acting visually as a flower. And those leak flowers are absolutely stunning. What fun. I also love the idea of perennial corners. Thanks for sharing your garden again.
Those tomato plants near the end of the video, Could you tell us how you trained them into two stems? I took most of my tomato plants and snipped the main stem when they were about a foot tall, and they branched out and almost quadrupled in size, at least it seemed like they did. Right now I have a cherry tomato that is spreading out like mad, and producing very well. All my tomato plants are tall, thick and heavily producing.
We can't get anti-slug nematodes in the USA for these invasive slugs -- at least not until native nematode species are found that have the same effect on slugs. Which probably exist. I think Oregon State University is looking for them.
The progress you've made as a TH-camr and Gardener over the past few years is mind-blowing
Well Done Huw
That's very kind thank you!!☺️

I can't agree more
I have wild rabbits that come by and they don’t take that much so I don’t care if they’re nibbling on everything

Hey Huw, I’m not sure if you didn’t say or if I just missed it, but what are the Japanese non stinging nettles called? That sounds like a thing I should have!
I’m sure that net is some sort of climbing structure but it looks like a football goal!
I didn’t know they had non stinging nettles!
Amazing Gardens Sir, Do you know Mr Dowding on YT? I think it would be cool if you two compared your gardens!
That Yacon will take over the whole bed. I have spent the last two years trying to get rid of mine. I will only have it in a 15gal. can in the future, so it can't get into anything else.
Wow, so many edible plants i never heard of. Could you post a list of those edible perennials in your newsletter please.

What are the best peas ( big seeds ) to grow. Please recommend. Thank you.
wow a perennial runner bean! Does the variety have a name or can all runner beans be perennial? And any tips for overwintering the tubers?
This is incredible. Do you chart out who needs what water-wise? I would imagine it would be a monumental task given the diversity.

And those leak flowers are absolutely stunning. What fun. I also love the idea of perennial corners. Thanks for sharing your garden again.
what an amazing garden, what is the gorgeous plant with pink flowers? I could not clearly decipher it.... was it ocra?
I think so
Those tomato plants near the end of the video, Could you tell us how you trained them into two stems? I took most of my tomato plants and snipped the main stem when they were about a foot tall, and they branched out and almost quadrupled in size, at least it seemed like they did. Right now I have a cherry tomato that is spreading out like mad, and producing very well. All my tomato plants are tall, thick and heavily producing.
Where are the artichokes? Adjacent lands very pretty, are they reserved for grazing?
We can't get anti-slug nematodes in the USA for these invasive slugs -- at least not until native nematode species are found that have the same effect on slugs. Which probably exist. I think Oregon State University is looking for them.
May be a daft question but what do you do with all the produce. Clearly more than you can eat!
