About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

Liz, I didn’t know it was that easy to propagate rosemary. I am going to try it tomorrow. Also I would buy a cookbook from you. I really think that that is something you should look into. I love hearing about your recipes.

[KlairedeLysOfficial]

I swear, every time I watch your videos you share a plant I hadn't heard of. Of to buy some orange thyme now!

Lemon balm is good for dusting furniture. Just pick a good size sprig and rub across your furniture. Makes the room smell wonderful.

Thank you, Liz, good timing. I am a member of a community garden that will celebrate 10 years in 2023. Over the years we realized we never has a "formal" plan for the shared herb plots we have and now I'm reading up and gathering helpful info on herbs. Your presentation is not complicated and lends a great assist to those struggling to get a grip. We have an abundance of chives and few takers so your vinegar will be good thing. Stay well.

Mint, sage, oregano, bay, fennel, lovage, chives, basil, thyme and lemon balm. I have 22 herbs including varieties. Pineapple mint I have to touch every time I pass it. I use mint, lemon balm and fennel seeds in herbal tea. So much more refreshing than the shop bought ones.

I have inherited sooo much rosemary and they are large thriving bushes, one use I have for them is cut off stems/branches and use them as skewers for meat/vegs on the bbq

[rodhatte]

Basil, oregano, Thyme and Chocolate Mint.

Cilantro! It is a mainstay in the summer when we are making fresh Pico with our garden tomatoes.
We also love it with some lime juice with grilled onion, peppers and chicken served in a tortilla. Also a great topper with any ramen soup

Love your list and.using rosemary for hedges which is done in New Orleans.

You did NOT forget thyme. You mention it, albeit subconsciously, right next to the Basil at 0:30 :p

Chives are monster plants.... they are totally forgiving! LOL I have just installed an herb garden and it took off like a rocket....in fact it's time to harvest all the chamomile! Liz, your garden has come leaps and bounds-- thanks so much for sharing!

The supermarket pot trick works well, I'm using it again for parsley this year.

[rachalnocchi]

I adore lemon thyme! I have it planted in one of the beds in front of my house. Basil, sweet mint, oregano, cilantro(coriander), parsley, chives and bee balm are also in my beds! My neighbors have a absolutely huge rosemary hedge and next time I see them I'm going to ask them if I can have a few sprigs to transplant into my beds. I'll give them some mint or basil in exchange! 😉

[entmama]

THANK you for the Chive Vinegar recipe, looking forward to trying. Liz would you PLEASE add your country wine recipe to the recipe list.

[linpulver]

Savory. winter or summer. I can only ever find seeds, never plants . I believe it is a primary ingredient in herbes de Provence. Plus in Germany it is the "bean herb" because it is supposed to help with the less sociably acceptable results of eating too many beans! Whatever I really love the taste. Dries beautifully too.

Lovely parade of herbs.
They are all on my list too. They are so useful for so many things. Couldn't be without a ready supply of herbs. Thanks Liz.

I have Lemon Balm in my polytunnel and I pick 8-10 sprigs every day for tea. It's an amazing herb that keeps on giving. Bee Balm is also one of my favourites for tea. I love the aniseed flavour it adds and the bees adore the flowers. I have every herb you listed, except for Sweet Cicely. Now I'm keen to try the seeds :) My chickens adore fennel, so we have a lot of fennel in the garden for them. Herbs are so versatile and you can grow them in tiny spaces. I'm a fan of growing many herbs in a small space and they're great for beginner gardeners to grow.
