    Lordy there was a lot of information in this vlog! Remarkably I was frustrated to hear so little from Kate the Chef, hopefully we will hear her voice more in a later vlog. But it might have been even more informing to have one person describe a herb, and another then make use of it. I am reminded of your vlog where you cook beetroot (and other crops) and I thought 'this is wonderful! Growing and cooking!'. Please bring Kate back to show us her skills.

    Humorous, insightful and passionate. Absolutely brilliant.
    This video was wonderful, thank you Charles.

    Dear Charles, thank you so much for this video and all of your efforts. She is so passionate and knowledgeable! I love using herbs , growing 5 verities of basil now, struggling in the heat of California. In my cooking I melt lots of real butter , add all desired herbs, and then add meats or vegetables, I also use herbs for cut flower bouquet and home soap making and pesticides . Then she is talking potatoes, makes me jump in the kitchen and fix some potatoes, because if I do not have potatoes, onions and garlic- I think that I don’t have any food , yeh. My name is Natasha and I am a potato , onion, garlic addict :) Cheers to all growing friends!

    I have noticed that when planting herbs in a rich soil they will thrive more but ultimately their taste is more diluted, the ones that grow in more sandy and less fertile soil seem to have better taste. It might have to do with the slower growth and higher concentration of essential oils, just a wild guess but the difference is noticeable if you try and grow the same plant in the two extreme type of soils (super fertile vs the opposite). A good herb to try this with is marjoram as it grows fast, the difference in taste is really noticeable.

      Wild Oregano Oil is renowned for its medicinal benefits. Whereas regular oregano oil is no way near as potent. In fact, Wild Oregano Oil has helped heal 2 abscesses thus far with my Crohns Disease:)

    Fantastic.... Herbs bring meals to life... I love sage with potato wedges. Just chop up some pipers then season with salt, pepper olive oil and chopped up purpul sage.... If youve not tasted it before, its a must.. Such a holsome flavor... Roast for 40 mins @190 with a shake of the tray half way through
    These type of open conversation are great.... Standing on the shoulders of giants....

      In the summer I harvest sage leaves, cook them with butter until the flavour has infused in the butter, then pour the melted butter with les sage leaves in ice cube trays, freeze, and use in the winter as pasta sauce topped with grated parmesan. It’s called sage butter in Italy.

    From Texas... Peppers, potatoes & herbs are about the only things I grow well. With herbs I have learned to not be married to the first spot I plant them in. Sometimes just moving them over in the bed closer to the edge for a better drainage, etc has helped.

  • @MegaNAT2012
    @MegaNAT2012 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Jekka made an important point arbout her herbs not being sold as small plants but are two year old well developed plants. It has taken me many years to realise that this is true of many plants sold at garden centres. I started keeping purchased plants in pots on my patio to enjoy for a season because of the rate of losses when planted out and because l wanted to take time to find where this plant would fit in an already crowded border. With this approach plants that l have previously struggled to grow are thriving, yet l have never heard a TV presenter gardener suggesting this, presumably because they can afford to buy big plants and have large gardens. Another tip she gave was not to be in a hurry to decide a plant has died. This is so true. I often pot things up before throwing away and it's amazing how a single 4 inch stem with no leaves on can sometimes miraculously come to life!

    • @CharlesDowding1nodig

    Thyme is my go to herb. I have several of them, and I think that aside from my beloved Radishes, they are probably my most loved plants in the garden. If I had the space, they'd be the one thing I'd give over to a collection of. When we're ill, my herb garden is my first port of call, and consider myself lucky to have been brought up to think holistic first.

      @jennyjohnson9012 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Claire, yes Oregano and Marjoram are from the same species but taste quite different! Oregano has a compound in it which makes it more savoury with leaves more at the tips whereas Marjoram is on the sweeter side with leaves all the way up the stalks. Mine taste really different from each other. Hope that helps!

    dear Charles.
    I simply have to write to you .. can not get my arms down from bare joy.
    I started no dig in the spring, and put potatoes onions etc .. I have for several years grown in the more "normal" way because that was what I was taught. BUT this year it should be different after years of failures with potatoes. I had a piece of 2 x6 meters and I gained over 70 kg of potatoes, without counting new early potatoes, so only save potatoes. it's so wild, there were about 18 kg of new small fine potatoes, so about 90 kg of potatoes on the small piece .. (I did not put too many potatoes .. and did not have to dig a single time to get them up .. we just lift them up, and found those that were not on the stem by pure finger force in the ground, so that the number of broken potatoes was = 0
    my onions were big nice, put them in 5 per "hole" they were nicer than the ones I put in a row .. so need to make even more no dig
    so thank you so much for your time you spend teaching us about, it makes a great difference and with much less weeding, which certainly does not matter 😜
    lots of no dig love

    This was so educational, much appreciated. It was a great surprise that some of my plants that I currently have are helping the pollinators.

    I actually have quite heavy clay soil. I planted French tarragon last fall and I don't see any problem with it at all. It seems to like it here very much as all the other herbs. Greetings from Budakeszi/Hungary! I enjoyed the video a lot. I love herbs, and have a lot in my organic garden😍.

    I'm renting, so move a fair bit. I ALWAYS plant a herb garden wherever I go. There is a quick payoff, and so much of it. It is so nice to be able to go outside when making dinner, and get some flavour and nutrition fresh from the garden. My go-to plants are sage, thyme, marjoram, and parsley. Depending on space and other factors, I'll often plant pineapple sage also. Great for the household, and great for the pollinators.

    Best informations about herbs. and I can personally say that they grow like crazy in a no dig garden... I was tired of preparing meager herb beds and just poped them into my normal beds... and they do fantastic... if not it had individual causes... like slugs, rabits, pigeons... or they have been overgrown by something and didn't get enough light
