My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I'm not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!
Just because all my resources are 'free of charge', to everyone, doesn't mean they aren't good quality. My objective is to make sure that there's no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information. I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at www.buymeacoff...

I am a visual learner. I do however enjoy your monologues but this format is much easier for me. I think it will increase your audience significantly.
I appreciate it is more work and I can only say that you are a total gem finding new ways to pass on your knowledge. What a gentleman! Thanks x
Yes, definitely more work, but although my main interest is tackling the complexity of growing a rich and varied diet all year round, the basics matter too : All the best - Steve
Love this format Steve. Keep them coming if you can. It’s more work for everyone involved, but it is appreciated. Thank you
I will be working through my growing guides, gradually adding these videos over the next few years! : All the best - Steve
This series will be so useful for people starting out, Steve. Some seasoned gardeners forget what it's like in the early days and assume the watcher will know many of the basics - with this format you explain these things in a natural, easy manner. Looking forward to more 🙂
Thanks Karen!
I like the format (maybe take it out to 10 min-ish) and the question-answer session with the daughter is a big plus.
Thanks Brian, I'm planning to have Tess ask me some FAQ type questions at the end, so that will fill it out a bit : All the best - Steve
A family member is just getting interested in growing food. I’ve mentioned your channel but these videos are really helpful as it’s all in one place for someone starting out. Super!
I love this new format. Love the old one too. A mix would be perfect. Thanks a lot for taking the time to show all aspects of growing and harvesting
It will definitely be a mix, the complexity of making this style of video limits me to probably one a month : All the best - Steve
You both seemed much more relaxed, absolutely brilliant. Well done
Honestly it was such a hectic video shoot, we did loads more filming for another project too and I was totally disorganised, only being used to single take/point and shoot videos! This was towards the end when we could relax, knowing we'd pretty much finished : All the best - Steve
Absolutely love this format. It's really useful to me as a fairly new veg grower, and answered questions I haven't found answers to in other videos. Keep 'em coming please.
Please ask in the comments though, I like that because I almost always then update the ebook with the answer as well : All the best - Steve
I know people are saying this is good for beginners but sometimes we all end up with a particular crop that we struggle to get good results with so I’ve really enjoyed this - thanks Steve and Tess
When I release these for real I will have an FAQ and tip section at the end for experienced growers : All the best - Steve
Thanks for that fab video Steve and Tess, I’ve never thought of sowing a bunch in a module. Yours video, as always, was nice and relaxed, but very informative. Tess, your debut was great! 🎉
I like this format Steve, I’ve been following your channel for quite some time but enjoyed this video where we can see you sowing and planting out. Love it 👏
Thanks, it's been such a trial for me, next to an airport on one side and a building site on the other and a house renovation next door at home. It makes videos that take a long time to shoot virtually impossible, forntunately the building site is quiet now, so it's just the airport and the strimmers and mowers! : All the best - Steve
Started to dabble with growing fruit and veg this year, your videos and many other resources are really helpful, especially the gardening basics series.
Thanks Sean, a big change from mobile engineering are you retired now? : All the best - Steve
I love this - so helpful and so concise it’s perfect thank you 🙏🏼
Great to see a concise "how to video" which is what some us often need to follow along with. You could build up a library of these that will get hits and multiple watches years beyond a blog type video. To make it even more effective, repeating the information as onscreen text graphics would be good, we can pause it at each stage and info like month, depth, seed number etc is on our phone as we follow along while in our sowing location. I personally prefer you talking to the camera (us) rather than a possibly staged conversation with a third party (absolutely no slight intended, just my preference). I have this season bought spring onion seeds purely because of your videos and I'll be using this video for my first time sowing them at some point this month. Many thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions : All the best - Steve
Thanks to all who prepared the video, both in front of and behind the camera. It’s so generous of you to work out all the details to make this look easy and doable by all levels of gardeners. Kudos to Team Richards!!
Thanks for the lovely comment Martha : all the best - Steve
Such a good format! Thank you!
Brilliant, now I know how to harvest my spring onions 😊
I have been trialing cutting the the spring onions as cut and come again so you get the green parts for a while and the whole plant later on in the season.
That sounds like an interesting approach : All the best - Steve
Yes Steve you are hitting right on the nail simple and easy to under stand
Thanks for the feedback Stephen : All the best - Steve
Hi Steve, there’s so many layers of extra information in these videos that don’t appear in your weekly updates, your database or your e-book.
These videos are really really helpful and I’m so appreciative that you have started making them. Please keep going.
The challenge of making videos for people of all skill levels and growing objectives is gradually dawning on me
Steve, you make things look so easy, I wonder if your daughter might be up for trying to do some of your tasks on camera as an example of how a newbie might experience things: so that the rest of us might see the kind of pitfalls or mistakes that can be made, if she’s up for that? For example, when you were trying to roll nine seeds, and you said you just get a feel for it, it would be interesting to see how your daughter went on her first couple of attempts, to make the rest of us feel confident even if we completely mess it up at first. 😊
Absolutely, we are going to do a video on sowing seeds next week and she's going to have a go the way I do it, then I'm going to show her how to make it easier with a few tricks etc : All the best - Steve
Love this new style of videos. It's really helping me with with spacing of your crops. Especially the onions I've been putting mine to close together so I've learnt some think there
Are you doing yours in clumps of 3 though Mark?
@@SteveRichards yes I am, although not all are 3 some i have are only 1. But mostly 3
I just bought some Ishikura. I planted Red Toga and White Lisbon a couple of weeks ago. The Red Toga are up but the White Lisbon have failed again. I bought umpteen packs of them last year too. I think they're a dead batch. I need some good module trays cos your method is tidy.
Yes, onions are almost unique is all failing to germinate all at the same time
I like all your formats, and if you are just chatting to the camera I can knit and listen…but this was a soft, relaxed presentation, and so lovely to see your daughter, Tess, helping out! That bunch of onions at the end: beautiful…I wondered what you did with them for lunch.
Chopped into a stir fry probably, although I just munch them raw : all the best - Steve
I would find this series interesting at the beginning of the seasons as a refresher for all the little tips for each of the individual crop and reference when things are not going well. Good job Steve. Cheers
Thanks Keith, I have a lot of ideas like that, because all of my videos are tagged in my database, it makes it really easy to provide sets of them in newsletters etc
Very nice!
Really nice video - thank you!
Glad you liked it Madeleine : All the best - Steve
Another great video by the Richards family😁.
I need to get those module trays as they look much better quality than the usual flimsy ones I use.
I've grown garlic from seed this year with this method but not a lot of videos on line about growing garlic from seed.
Keep them coming team Richards👍.
Oh that's interesting, I'd not seen anything about that : All the best - Steve
A few quick words on how do you know when to harvest and how often you should water each Stage please would be helpful but great video 👍
We harvest when we need to eat them, but about pencil width is ideal, if they grow a lot bigger the outer skins get tough, just split and remove the skins and the middle core is super sweet. There's no way to advise on watering really, it depends too much on the weather and time of year and where you grow them, but they like damp soil and they are shallow rooted, so just keep the soil damp a few inches below the surface : All the best - Steve
Awesome!
Curious…I have some that have grown all summer and still look good now in November, still usable? Also, I’m still unsure what the difference is between the scallions and bunching onions that I planted.
Definitely, we harvest them every week of the year. Scallions, bunching onions, salad onions, spring onions all the same thing : All the best - Steve
I've transplanted my onions 3 weeks ago and they are still the same size,
what variety are they?
@@SteveRichards white Lisbon
White Lisbon do better sown in early August, they don’t like growing in summer much, give them time
👍👍👍👍
GET AN OLD BATH
ADD FIBRE/COMPOST/EARTH MIX
DAMPEN WITH WATERING CAN ROSE
SOW SEED ON TOP
SPRINKLE COMPOST OVER WITH SEIVE.
YOUR WAY IS FAR TOO PEDANTIC.
Lots of different ways to garden and be successful without needing to criticise others, pleased you’ve found a way that works for you though. It’s hard to interplant salad onions using your technique : all the best - Steve
Hey Steve and Tess. Are you married Tess? Imagine, Steve could be my dad!!
lol, yes, Ollie is behind the camera! : All the best - Steve
