You don't sound British!

What a heartwarming video. I bought 14 acres of grassland in Nth Cumbria in 2003, and dumped my job. It's been an arduous journey to single-handedly change it into woodland and a small veg garden with polytunnel over the years (planning authories, locals et al). I've finally got permission to build a few strawbale & cob guest dens too. Now I'm self sufficient in woodfuel and charcoal, and bottle/dry most of my food (I'm off grid and can't freeze) and wouldn't ever go back to my old life. If you're really going to do this with plenty of years to enjoy it, take that leap of faith and burn some bridges....don't leave it until you retire or you may never get there.

I am 66 years old, I have 13 beds, and quite fruits trees. I canning everything is posible, I made the tomato sauce for a whole year, I only have 0.2 acres. I manage two crops every year! When I hear 👂 you talking remind myself so much. We bought the house in 2018 buy very little from the store. Love to see your animals! My concentration it was in microbiology too. LOL 😂!

What a great harvest

I’m in the middle of a life crisis….physically and emotionally. Our granddaughter died last year and because of inactivity and a knee injury I can no longer garden as I did. I want to garden again which I didn’t for the last year and now my physical issues seem insurmountable. I’m desperate to break out of this corner I’m boxed into and garden again. Right now I have to have a chair and cane. My dream is to find my way back…..🥺🥺🥺

I’m so sorry you’re having a difficult time. Gardening can be so therapeutic. Start small maybe some containers of herbs, etc. or a small raised bed until your strength and energy levels increase. Build up slowly. Best wishes to you. ❤️

I love it.

As someone who is nearing retirement and who has just quit my job as I couldn't take being a Corporate Hamster any longer, this is an absolute inspiration.

Enjoy watching, have a garden with vegetables and fruits its mydream for real

We've known Saronne & Bob since they arrived in the area...I've learned so much from them about goats & growing, & we continue to share & learn each time we get to spend time with them. Their smallholding is a fraction the size of ours, yet they've accomplished ten times more with what they have. They are an inspiration!

Hello Liz I can't tell you how timely this video is for me. I too am not young (66 and beginning to feel it!) and have never had a garden as such although I've always dreamed. I'm now buying a plot of land (only little, 1000m²) with 2 tiny derelict houses and hope to move in May next year. I live in NW Turkey and am on my own now but thankfully have some good friends who will help me when needed. There are moments when I think 'oh my word whatever have I done?' but this video along with yours and Huw's have really given me the encouragement to believe I can do it! Sorry for the long missive. All the best Davut (Dave)

Good sharing

If 25% of World population start growing their food and contribute to local market, the World would be better place without hunger, poverty and misery. Surplus funds of Government will go to health care and infrastructure. Growing Food is the source of a healthy life, peace and prosperity. You are the inspiration for many of us.

Fantastic video Very inspiring

This was so good! It felt like another page of the roadmap for where we hope to head.

Amazing! We are embarking on a similar journey. Thanks for sharing.

So enjoyed watching this. We started homesteading a few years ago. Love it

Quite a lot done since 2019! This was wonderful. And she is so witty and droll (I talked to the animals, and maybe it’s a good thing they can’t answer back)! Thanks!

Wow.ur garden is amazing.🤗

i started a business growing herbs and seedlings when we moved to a small block here in nz. I was 55 and always had a veg garden of some sort.Gardening is the best mental health treatment available.My husband died suddenly just 4 months into the start of the business. I was very busy but very satisfied and I would not be mentally as good as I am now given various traumas in my life not least th sudden death of my husband and during lockdown here hss been my saviour. Nothing beat the taste of home grown

Subbed to Sow Grow and Cook. Thanks Liz! Still locked down here in Melbourne. Been under a rock but getting excited about 2022.

What a wonderful video. I also like the interaction with the tomato picking. We also have such lovely chicken. Thanks 🙏

Good

I’m glad to find this new channel (to me!). Thank you, Liz, for sharing!

I really enjoyed growing some of my own food and herbs for four years, prior to neighbours standing against it, trying to make a move now. My son stills remembers how I made my own pizza's for him when he was a child, lovely memories.

Beautiful life.....😁😁

What a lovely video! Thank you for introducing us to Saronne and Bob. I will check out their channel and social media for sure. And those tomatoes? Ohmy....dreaming of my own small holding now even more, with lots of space for tomatoes. Although I must say, this year we've made some kind of "bus stop cubicle" on the allotment with pipes and transparant plastic (no greenhouse allowed, since it is on private grounds) and it really did well. Had to ripen a lot of fruit on the window sill, but with a total of about 10kg, very pleased how that turned out. Till next time Liz! Gr. from the Netherlands, Debbie

Very relatable for me as a mid-60s retiree very, very excited about my garden and what it’s growing for us. Herbs and easy vegetables first, but ever expanding choices to experiment with techniques. It’s really amusing to bring in what seems like a small harvest when I’m in the garden only to realize I’ve gotten a big load and I’d better get busy with cooking, preserving, drying, and sharing. Six acres is a much larger than we have, but we still have great abundance, and I’m very grateful, indeed.

Great inspiring video Saronne, those tomatoes are insane.
