I've been dragging my feet to make a map of my garden, but if you can sit out in the cold to make this video, I can go out and make my garden map.

This year I definitely need to get more things going upwards and less outwards. I grew indeterminate tomato plants for the first time last year, and definitely didn't support them enough (i.e. at all), and so the harvest wasn't great. And while I've grown cucurbits fairly well by just letting them sprawl out, as I've been wanting to add more things to my garden, they're taking up valuable real estate. 2023 goal - it's trellis time!

I alway plain my allotment within an inich of my life int he winter.. but as soon as the summer comes im completely over it! and just plant everything randomly.

Loved the comment on cutting back on the amount of Kale in plan. Every year I cut back on the number of Kale plants I put in, and every year we have way too much Kale. LOL

Hi Huw. Thank you for another interesting video. I used to make a pen and paper plan for years but a few years ago I created a simple drag and drop veg planner for myself in Microsoft Excel which works a treat. Each year I just ‘save as’ the previous years plan and adjust for my new years layout. With this I also get a record of what I’ve grown and where in previous years. It is my own personal creation so I don’t want anything in return but if you would like a copy please let me know. Kind regards. Gary

Ruthless Prioritisation is key! I grew so much last year, I didn't really want. More of what I actually enjoy this year.

[BoothbyGardens]

You've motivated me to recheck my garden plan for 2023! Less random squash I probably won't eat and more Carrots that will store and get used over winter.

First thing I see when stepping out in my garden in January - my chard from prior years has gone rogue! 😄

[randybingham]

Great video, I'm in zone 6b US. The only thing I have started is onions earlier this week but I have changed my garden plan at least 4 times in the last month 🤣🤣.

I only have two big grow boxes and everything else in pots. Squirrels are my pests! I’m growing more vegetables that require less light. You inspire me always thanks for video 🍁

His book 'Grow Food For Free' is one of my all-time favs. Love his channel.

[MarkCarline]

Thanks for this! Just ordered potatoes for 2023. My crop of potatoes in 2022 was amazing but lost loads of potatoes in those 30l tubs with frost damage (I left them in! darn!). Will be following your channel closer this year. Just a suggestion but how about a short video which could be "weekend jobs" on a friday which would be a great help to knowing what the priority is for that weekend?

[lysmalls]

Huw you are Always thinking about how to help us in our Gardening Endeavors I wasn’t even thinking about planning my Garden but Now I’m going to

[LifeonPigRow]

Always love a good plan and growing what we want. Learn from mistakes and not bother with certain veg.

A wood pigeon just ate my winter kale. Stripped it back to the stems, the bastard. Watching this has stopped me wanting to give up. Thanks 😊

[seedless_sweetie]

I can hardly wait for spring, so excited to grow 😊

[Artinthefeels]

This was SO helpful! I've been working on making a garden planner since Christmas but I couldn't figure out how to prioritize things. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

[CindyOrangeNeely]

I'm so glad I found you last weekend when I was binge watching garden videos! Your garden is absolutely stunning and you make it all look so easy! I am in zone 7 in the US and last year I started getting serious about gardening when my husband brought home a bunch of big wooden crates from his job. I started my gardening journal last year and made diagrams and notes and thought I had it all figured out until our weather went totally nuts and everything changed. This year I hope to do better. The biggest problem I have is getting my brassica seedlings to grow at the right time.

[dschott]

Your video and garden planner are both well done and much appreciated. Nice work👍

[Andromeda]

Amazing! Yes, discovered the extra space too, since I´m collecting also all the seeds from the fruits/vegetables that I´m consuming, to replant directly.
