I got into gardening because of poverty and my love of plants that I inherited from my mom.

Just love the friendliness and warmth between the gardening channels seen here💟🌿 !

HUW! Thank you so much for the shoutout, truly EPIC my friend. Learned a ton from you over the years and grateful to be your garden friend :)

Not that I am anything special, but I hope there are others out there like me! My first garden was a total and complete disaster! I didn't get to harvest anything! There were vegies here and there, but I planted way too many tomatoes way too close together, so I couldn't even get in the garden to harvest anything. It was a jungle!!! But I didn't let get me down. Then I discovered YouTube and all of these amazing gardening channels!!! I am proud to say that over the years, I have become a master gardener!!! If your first garden is not successful, don't give up!!! Learn as you grow!!! And if you have any questions, Huw and many others are here to help!!! Have a blessed season everyone!!!

My dad has a big garden every year, and fresh peas are the thing that inspired me to have a garden too, so my kids can have that experience of eating fresh peas together in the sunshine.

I have noticed in past videos, but thought I'd let you know the moss that grows on your raised bed boards is delightful. It speaks of continuity in your endeavors and feels peaceful.

Nice shout out to Kevin! I like that the gardeners I follow also follow each other 👨🏼‍🌾

im just getting in to gardening and huw is giving me so many amazing tips on everything, i would recommend him over and over again.

You’re so right about peas, can’t beat that fresh flavour. Love them in salads in the summer. 💕

[TTimeConscious]

I do pea shoots! I actually got six salad meals from them on a planter at my windowsill. Watercress is my second favorite. Thank you for the lovely video!

[nicolemontazeri]

You are my absolute favorite gardening show!!

[izzywizzy]

lovely video Huw, I totally agree that a small success with growing and then eating your own food can get you hooked! I am now enthralled! Trying to grow veg all year round for the first time!

[lizbeardmore]

Thank you Huw for your encouragement! So many things to think about as a novice gardener. Some of my seeds are sprouting and others are not yet showing themselves. Looking forward to starting your course.

[sibylc]

Thank you, Huw. I enjoy all your videos, but this one particularly resonated with me. Those small successes really help to push you through the failures (and there will be failures!). I’ve seen Kevin’s video, too, and thought it was great, but I love your idea about the pea shoots. I will definitely give that a try!

I think gardening is always in my DNA, I got it from my Dad. Now that I live in a far city from Him, gardening makes me always feel connected with my Dad

[lesleyann]

*adds dried peas to the shopping list... I'm a novice, and I love pea shoots. Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna do it. ❤️ This channel 👍

[RestWithin]

Huw! You are so emotionally mature in comparison to many young men ‘elsewhere’ it’s deeply impressive listening to you!

[helentew]

First of all I'm so interested in gardening but haven't started yet. What is the best time to start gardening

[Probity]

Two of my favourite gardener channels !! Whoop whoop.

I refer to my copy of veg in one bed and I am certainly not a beginner 😅 peas, bush beans, radish...they are good for my ego and motivation because they basically grow themselves and quickly. I make a lovely pasta carbonara with eggs from my chickens and topped with pea shoots. It looks so fancy for a 15 minute week night meal 🤷🏻‍♀️
