Crops to Plant Once & NEVER Buy Again | Huw's Garden Diaries

Welcome to another week and another entry to my Garden Diary series! Join me today as we tour the garden and discuss a bunch of my favourite crops that just keep giving. These crops are the best for self-seeding and coming back year on year, providing you, your garden, and your neighbourhood pollinators with abundance and flavour for (potentially) the rest of your life!

  1. Edit again! Now audio temporarily isn't matching, It's because YouTube is still processing the cut, I can't do anything about it I'm so sorry

    So sorry about the missing sounds during the squash shot! Thank you for all the comments letting me know. I've removed that part that has no sound on YouTube editor but may take a while for that change to happen to thank you for your patience! Edit: turns out end screens also become available when processing the changes so here is the missing link: https://youtu.be/BBIMPtGf9Cc

  2. I saw a short video you did about Australian tree cabbage. I can not locate seed, can you suggest a source?

  3. Perfectly imperfect gardens! Love it! Thank-you very much Huw. ????????????????????

  6. Does your netting catch any birds? I've had problems with mine doing that.

  7. So delightful to see glimpses of the garden! That borage hedge with the foxtglove: stunning. I would love to hear tips on growing basil! Mine just struggles year after year.

  8. 2 Peter 3:18 KJV

    But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

    John 3:16 KJV

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    Romans 10:9 KJV

    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

  9. Thx for the explanation Huw. I'll rewatch in a couple of days. Maybe all will be good by then.

  10. Lemon basil is my favorite basil so far. I use a lot of the regular basil but the lemon reminds me of fruit loops cereal! So tasty in tea☕️

  11. Very nice video I tried dead heading the marigolds and saved jars and jars of seeds this year planted them they are flourishing so well!!

  12. Bought your latest book Hugh. Its as if it was written from my own conversations & questions in my head ! Incredible Insights. Although I am only now starting seriously at this, aged 60 I am totally focussed on Low maintenance permaculture, Self seeding Edible plants & flowers & low maintenance huge return herb, vegetable, fruit and nuts specific for the climate in South wales . My 800sqft polytunnel should be also producing on 2 tiers from cuts & seeds – Hopefully learning every day from nature and your excellent focussed advice. I have a long way to go to come up to your ankles in your skills and ability.

  13. I love the way of gardening of adding reliable annuals to the gardenscape. My friends and I call this “subtractive gardening”. Instead of adding plants, you just “subtract” out the ones you don’t need. This type of garden develops an asymmetrical design. Very pleasing to people who like a natural style. Thanks for another wonderful video. Right on ????????????

  14. Video and sound go out of sync around about when Sweetcorn is discussed right after chickens

  15. I've just sown borage because of you! Well, because of the pollinators I want to attract.
    My biggest pollinators is my Spirea bushes! I can't believe the amount of bumble bees that are so happy there! The pink flowers with the yellow green leaves are so lovely.

  16. Unfortunately the sound is off for most of the video. Would love to watch it again when it is all fixed.

  17. In my garden this year that I didn’t plant: sunflower, borage, nasturtium, coreopsis, marigolds, cosmos, poppy.

  18. I need to try and encourage a borage hedge. It's self-seeded very enthusiastically around my garden and allotment but not in an orderly fashion like yours!

  19. Any tricks for corn vs deer….3 years trying and 3 years of deer jumping my7ft fence to eat the sunflowers and corn. I will not do chemicals, and I can tell you that human, dog, and cat hair doesn’t work, neither does Irish spring soap, cayenne, garlic spray….either I give up on corn or I may have to figure out how to grow them indoors. Any advice is welcomed !
