I have to say this gardening stuff is life changing for me, I'm 51yrs young and spent most off my life medicated and numb, today after 3yrs making changes I've been lucky to find a love off nature and all she offers us, the last 18months have been mind blowing and I'm sooo thankful to you and many other's, these day's I'm not tierd due to medication, I'm naturally tierd through hard work that I love, even the critters trying to share my food give me peace as I work my way around each plant caring for it, my new passion is finding out the many medicinal plants we have to hand, no more pharmaceuticals or doctors for me if I can help it. 😍😍😁

So good to read Chris! I’m also 51 yrs young and just found gardening 3 years ago. I think what amazed me the most is not only the satisfaction of growing food for myself and my family but the peace and happiness I feel doing the little chores I have to tackle every day in my gardens. I only have 5 raised beds that are 4’x8’ but they keep me fairly busy and I am slowly adding more every year, careful not to do too much too soon ❤️ Cheers and happy gardening!

Hi Liz, love your garden and channel. As a Dutch person who grew up with kale mashes, before it became 'a thing', because it's typical Dutch winter food, I might have a good tip for you, to make the older leaves taste better. In the past kale (in Dutch boerenkool/peasant cabbage) was kept in the ground in winter and it frooze stiff, this activates the sugar content in the leaves, making them less bitter and also less tough. You can simply imitate that by cutting up washed leaves in thin stripes and chuck them in the freezer. Potato/kale mash is simply delicious and is traditionally eaten with smoked sausage and fried bacon and some apple cidervinegar added to the mash. The last also helps to bring out the flavor of kale.

Ooh what a great tip, thank you so much!

Ooh, am I glad I found your channel. I grew up and lived in Southern Africa for 50 years. Now I live in Europe and grow my own food. How awesome to see that one can close that gap between autumn and spring, still being able to eat fron one's own garden.

Hi just got my second allotment after a 50 year gap so thanks for the advice

Good luck to you, Liz! Greatings from Austria!

Hi Liz! Another great video. I'm so grateful for your channel, along with Huw Richards and Charles Dowding. The three of you have taught me from scratch how to grow vegetables. Having never sown a single seed before March, I now have a fully set-up no-dig allotment and have already harvested potatoes, beetroot, radish, lettuce, raspberries, beans, courgettes and probably more. My winter veg is already in (apart from the stuff that is still in module trays). I'm excited about next year so I can do everything better! Yesterday I happened to watch one of your videos from last year when you were about to go to the veg show in Malvern. That's very near where I live - how disappointing that we don't have anything like that to look forward to at the moment! However, given that you're near my neck of the woods already, I do hope there will be some exciting in-person events in the fullness of time. Oh, and thanks for recommending 'the weedy garden'. I followed the link from your Facebook page a few days ago and WOW.

Thank you! It's so easy to drop the ball with sowing more seeds, I'm just the same - if I wasn't making these videos I would forget too.

You should use big kale leaves for naking Caldoverda- Portuguese soup. Boil a few chopped potatoes and a sliced chorizo sausage, when the potatoes really soft, mash them, add chopped kale, boil for a further 15 minutes. Add some extra virgin olive oil and salt. Sooooo good

Awesome update Liz thank you for your time in making

I always enjoy your videos and seeing what's going on in your garden. And Thank You So Much for the introduction to The Weedy Garden. It is SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!

Liz the Garden is looking fantastic and I love how you are interspersing your plantings. The view from the drone is really good,the property is so full and lush.

Loved the weedy garden, discovered it last week

Oh Liz the weedy garden/gardener channel is amazing thanks for sharing it in the group 💚

Thank you! I agree The weedy gardener is 1 too watch 😍

Thank you, Liz. I'm ordering the various seed suggestions as you speak and looking forward to getting some crops to take us through the Winter with any luck! x

I love all of your videos....thank you. 😊

Ooh . I’ll have to plant some more spinach and lettuce. Thank you Liz . Those are some really good looking strawberry runner plants 🌱 🍓 too . 💖🐓🌸

Thank you for the tip with alternating onions and carrots. I was planning on sowing my onions in a bucket, but now I will line them up with the carrots and radishes.

I'm so glad you posted this. I've had a tough few weeks with a resident darling mouse and slugs and snails. I thought I had missed out for Autumn but now I've got hope. Who know if I'll get any purple sprouting broc kale etc. But did alot of those again today. Fingers crossed. I'm now struggling with lack of good growing medium. I'm just having do much fun what ever I get in the end. Thanks again.

Our collard greens went crazy this year. Thank you for your interesting videos. I am in an area where the heat can get quite intense. I might try to grow some radishes. Our kale did pretty well too. I don't seem to do good with beets. Thanks again.

Liz thank you again for sharing your knowledge, and for sharing all the links, I know that takes extra time! The Greek Gigantes beans you recommended are doing well for me, though I got them started late, I hope to get some beans off them in autumn.

Been waiting for this, thank you 💕

I love the idea of the onions and carrots.

Thanks Liz......got a few bare patches in my beds now, so will be sowing some beetroot & more carrots 👍 Away to watch saves video now, so thanks for that too! 🙏 EDIT: Daves 🙄 what a fantastic video!

Hey Liz , watching this after watching newer videos too, fab how you sow to get most out of room , I know you have larger plot now but for my tiny garden this has really got me thinking x thank you , glad to see someone else wearing same gloves I do! I love feeling soil most gloves are too thick and despite scrubbing bare handed I can never get dirt out of my nails effectively x 😍

Hugely helpful as usual, thank you. I think many people in the UK will be thinking - for the first time - about how to overwinter vegetable crops this year. So this kind of information about seeds to sow for autumn/winter harvests is really useful.

So glad for this video! A sudden hail storm demolished a LOT of month old seedlings and need to re-fill the beds 😁

Hi Liz, great video, thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

Great list, i never thought of sowing beetroot outside directly. :D

Loved it, Liz. Autumn/Winter is always the hardest season to plan for. You have, as always, helped a lot. Onions - I was well out of order - Fen Earlies were a bit late but have done OK. Sturon sets were VERY late but they are overtaking the Fen Early smaller ones. Neither of us like over-big onions as they are too tough and often too big for our recipes so 'we are pleased'. Why do my efforts to grow lettuce seem to fail ? Waiting for 13 Pentland Javelin to chit properly before hopefully setting them in bags for Christmas. Casablanca first earlies were a disappointment in July as they did not have the 'true early' buzz and taste. They ended up as mash! A different variety next year. Love your vids, Liz, and hope that you are enjoying good health and staying safe. All the best across the slim border - Paul

Spinach/Kale I use interchangeably, in what I call a spaghetti bolognese florentine. Essentially you add spinach to a bolognese, and this I find is a really good way to eat it.

Thanks Liz - what a great video, can't believe I've not noticed your videos before. I too have made the "mistake" of putting alliums (leeks) and green beans together - so far the beans seem OK so maybe it's just a myth!

This was interesting, although I have done much the same as you have I have learn't something new; carrots and spring onions as companion plants. What a perfectly natural way to grow both without predator threat! Beans and onions I have never grown together. I did tomatoes with rainbow chard. The chard did well but not the tomatoes! I will not be doing that next year. Thank you both very much!

I've grown onions from seed this year - just to see if they would come true - and they did! A bit smaller than from sets, but i was late getting them in.
