Thank you, Huw! 1. Winter Squash (and summer squash) 2. Climbing beans 3. Carrots 4. Winter cabbages (start them off in nodules, plant put later in the summer for winter maturing) 5.

My garden club has sown over 15 vegetable plants between May and June. We have a beautiful amazing garden!!! Lots of wonderful praises and compliments from rhe community. We will have an abundance of crops! The rewards of hard work are paying off!!!
I highly recommend a French climbing bean variety called blue lake. The beans are divine and last year I did a second sowing in July which cropped heavily until October. Gorgeous 🌱💚
Climbing beans, new seed and two failed sowings, on the third lot now Peas, same so resorted to buying some already grown from a garden centre but they were very expensive for a small amount🙁 Everything seems to have poor sowing results and slow growing. Even my raspberries that usually grow like weeds are struggling🙁
Blue Lake is a personal favorite of mine as well !! Very prolific...I grow the bush bean variety as well as the pole bean variety ...and they are heirloom beans so great for seed saving.
Pre ordered your book and just got it. I live in Western North Carolina USA. My ancestors are Welsh and came to my County in 1730. Gardening is my passion. Thank you.
Thanks Huw! You showed putting beans in after harvesting garlic. I think it might make a useful video to generalize that: what can you sow when you harvest something. To keep the beds working.
I do not know about GB, but here in Northern Germany it has been wet and cold (it is 2 PM and just 15°C ). Since I have a net with tiny holes over all my raised beds, I am ok because it is nylon (I think) and adds a little warmth. Everything grows well but my parsnips simply did not germinate - probably rotted from all the flooding rains we had in spring. The slugs are awful this year, the okra is suffering from the cold and paprika, tomatoes and aubergines desperately need sun and warmth. I suppose this is the kind of weather will be normal from now on. Strawberries are rotting, eaten by slugs or falling off. The ones that survive are delicious.
June is my month to get everything in the Garden. Growing most of these things, minus cilantro. I am one of those people. We have gone from hot and dry to cool and damp. Here's hoping for a good growing weather year. I'm off to the greenhouse to prep beds for pepper!
Same here in Bulgaria slugs are literally the BIGGEST nightmare for our gardens lol! They can DECIMATE entire crops of cucumbers, zucchinies, peppers, ALL varieties of cabbage, squash, even the strawberry fruit... The list goes on and its a liiittle bit discouraging but I won't give up! 😅
I have most of the things that you mention growing and ready to be planted and will plant some of the others. Where I am in NW England we’re really struggling with wet and cold weather. Last night the lowest temperature in the greenhouse was 5.5C. Because it’s been so wet and the slugs are rampant I’ve had to plant three lots of broad beans in the same place. I’ve got my fingers crossed that they will survive. However, ever hopeful that sunnier days will become the norm rather than the exception.
Same problem I am having. My lettuces have been ravaged by slugs, and my greenhouse isn't staying too toasty and as a result tomatoes and chillies look to have stalled a bit. I'm hoping for a few warm weeks and warmer start to autumn to make up for it
@@declan2417Same Here!!👋 I'm doing Container Growing this year, for the first time,,,, and swear that the dang slugs can levitate I am sure!! Hoping that you have better luck soon!! I think that things are going to warm up and give us more sunlight Very very soon!! 🌻😊
I’m using beer traps and Strulch. I’ve also taken to tying string around the plants to try and lift the leaves up away from the ground. I’m definitely on a mission!
Not nice but head torch and scissors at bed time been the only organic method I've been able to control slugs with cost effectively. Might give home brewed namatodes next year.
Oooh that's interesting! I am one of those anti-coriander, my husband loves it! Thank you - Peruvian mint on my list! I seem to be on the ball this year - went to a garden centre and saw their tomatoes were the same size as mine so I was very happy I'd got my timing right this year. Fingers crossed the sown seeds germinate!
@@tacticalpoetI went through that with my tomato seedlings. About 6 rounds due to new grow lights burning the leaves, fungus gnats & more. Never had such trouble. Ended up having to buy some plants.
Great video, relatively new subscriber here & just take a look at the self sufficiency garden video as I now have a full size plot. Treated myself to a proper 10ft x 15ft tunnel which we put up a couple of months ago & is now full. Husband just bought me some of your module trays for my BDay too 😊 might have to invest in the book now for tips on successional growing/utilising the space I have.
Why was there a row cover over the garlic bed? I use row covers over my brassicas so the cabbage worms don't destroy them - do you have a pest bothering your garlic?
Hi Huw, about to have my first batch of LAB ready after following the instructions in your book. Was wondering how often you'd recommend applying to soil?
LOL, I love your videos and have learned *so* much from you over the last few years, but it's always hilarious to me when you do the 'what to plant now' episodes, given I'm in California, and it's pretty much impossible to grow 90% of what you're talking about here at this time of year. :D
@HuwRichards My joy, really Beside I bought one of your books during the thick of "the pando" and I somehow ended up with two! I gave the extra one to a friend, and they love it (as well). You and Yours be well always, (and keep showing us how to follow a passion). Best!
Do you have a take on Peruvian black mints ability to kill bindweed roots? Also I’ve seen comments about it potentially being invasive (though not as mind numbingly invasive as bindweed), is it something reasonably easy to control?
Does your chef buddy have any ideas for shallot and onion scapes? Quite a few of mine are trying to go to seed and I’ve heard that the scapes are a bit of a delicacy 💡
Depends on what zone system you're using - by USDA standards most of Wales is Zone 8a-9a. Huw has mentioned in previous videos that he's Zone 8, but the zones were recently configured this year to account for changing climates so it might have increased slightly.
Trying French Beans first time this year. Tho they are a dwarf variety. Do they need support and/or something to climb on? Packaging doesn't give any info on this. Also, can I still sow butternut squash. Only one of my first sowing of 4 germinated.
French beans dwarf are ok without support. Try more squash you may be ok, mine were late last year due to slugs eating first batch. Butternuts may not quite make full size but they are still ok for eating.
You guys have severely upgraded your camera edits on your recent posts, looks like an episode of gardeners world. But too much unnatural green for my liking, but hey, it makes the English countryside look vibrant
I don’t know what I’m doing out in the garden….but I’m having a great time! 🤷🏻♀ No slug issues for me, but I’m battling squash bugs right now. Bought a recommended product and followed directions - repeat application in 7 days. Ha! Spray didn’t even slow those pests down. Manually squishing now. Radishes are harvested, potatoes are coming out this week, first tomatoes are ready and “patio eggplants” (too cute!) are just about ready. Enjoying your book when I have the time to read it. Lettuces, spinach and other summer greens have bolted. I need to explore summer green suggestions. Thanks for what you do, Huw!
Ram Rao, or Vietnamese coriander, is my favourite herb. Not related to coriander at all, but delicious fresh, dried, as a tea... can be difficult to find but worth it
2nd year running growing climbing beans (trail of tears). Both years very slow to getgoing, just not growing at all - clearly they don't like Derbyshire (or me!)
Hi, Bit of a random question... Is there a particular platform that works best for you as a seller? I know from my own experience of selling online the fees can be huge on certain platforms *cough cough, paypal, cough cough* especially when combined with the fees my website provider add on. So who charges you the least? I'd prefer you, as a creator get the best value when i spend. Amazon/Hive/whatever the other ones were that i can't remember lol which one means you end up with the biggest slice of the doe for your hard work? Like i said, random, but i wanted to ask before i buy 😂
Hi! Thanks for the video. Can you tell me which make of metal raised bed you recommend? I think I remember something particular about the paint being non-toxic?
Wait so let me get this straight, you grew garlic harvested the garlic and then planted a climbing bean and were able to harvest the climbing Bean how did you do this all between spring and winter
When the yellow dye in egg noodles was found to be bad, the companies asked the chicken farms to make the yolks darker. Marigolds were the answer. I'm not sure how much marigold you'd have to feed a chicken for darker yolks. I thought it was interesting at any rate 🤔😊
Thank you, Huw!

Sounds great! It is going to fill up quickly, and always so satifying! Best wishes, Huw
I'm a bit jealous of the lack of slug damage
Here in Northern Germany they come in armies this year 😂🙈🙈🙈😭
Don't be, I've been slug busting a few nights every week, put down nematodes, and have had to replant a lot🤣

Strawberry fruit is one of their favourites. It's really crazy this year indeed. My third try for sowing of beans now 😅
@@HuwRichardsHi Huw, do you still keep Indian Runner ducks for slug control or are they a thing of the past now😂

Like it

Subscribed again…I was but somehow I’m not lol….8 years now of having the plot and it’s all a learning curve as each year ..no one year is the same..

june, and i've barely sown any vegetables yet
I hear ya
Very few vegetables sown have germinated or are growing properly. What is growing is just being demolished by slugs!
I'm on round 6 of sweetcorn, who knows, maybe these will survive the slugs, none of my carrot sowings succeeded

I’ve got huacatay seed! Haven’t successfully germinated them so far, but maybe I just needed to wait for June!
Yes they need warm soil so June is good or earlier on a heat mat☺️
Its quite cold still in the evenings in nottingham Im hokding off to plant them out for another few weeks I think. Been bloody awful this year
Where are your raised beds from, Huw?
Where can I get these seeds? I’ve just moved to the UK, and I’d love to start gardening
@2:00 your discussing your climbing french beans, just curious how many individual plantings that might be?
8 plants for that trellis:)
@@HuwRichards 8 individual plants ?! Mind blown I always overplant. Thanks kindly.
Thanks!
Wow that's very kind of you thank you so much!!

Do you have a take on Peruvian black mints ability to kill bindweed roots? Also I’ve seen comments about it potentially being invasive (though not as mind numbingly invasive as bindweed), is it something reasonably easy to control?
Hi, how can I order your book and how much?
Does your chef buddy have any ideas for shallot and onion scapes? Quite a few of mine are trying to go to seed and I’ve heard that the scapes are a bit of a delicacy 💡
Where are you zone wise? Trying to figure out if your timing is equal to mine. Thanks in advance.
A recent video of his mention about zone 5b ish I believe
Depends on what zone system you're using - by USDA standards most of Wales is Zone 8a-9a. Huw has mentioned in previous videos that he's Zone 8, but the zones were recently configured this year to account for changing climates so it might have increased slightly.
Appreciate the info. I'm in the new 8a so now I have a reference. Thanks all
Trying French Beans first time this year. Tho they are a dwarf variety. Do they need support and/or something to climb on? Packaging doesn't give any info on this.
Also, can I still sow butternut squash. Only one of my first sowing of 4 germinated.
You can use a small cane to help prop them up but I plant them fairly close and they prop each other up 😊
French beans dwarf are ok without support. Try more squash you may be ok, mine were late last year due to slugs eating first batch. Butternuts may not quite make full size but they are still ok for eating.
Will there be a video like this for july?

When the yellow dye in egg noodles was found to be bad, the companies asked the chicken farms to make the yolks darker.
