And it's back! Enjoy this longer-than-usual episode of Huw's Garden Diaries as I take the camera about with me whilst I crack on with some garden jobs.
A welcome video to start my Sunday morning. Thank you. I had never heard of a Kelly Kettle before this video but that excited me so much I just bought a KK kit!
For anyone in the US, because we'll be on Daylight Time by Monday, I think your live stream will be at 4 over here. (EDT)
This video was lovely - we had some warm weather about a week ago, but now our March winds in CT are roaring and I can only dream. I'll be interested to see how your cuttings progress. When I was small, my mother stuck forsythia twigs all around edges of the property, and we had hedges of it on both sides of the house.
Hardy kiwi, against the shed, lots of space for it to ramble!
I made my first hot bed last year (following instructions from your last book) where I had potatoes growing the year before. I had obviously missed some as I had loads of volunteer plants growing around the base, biggest potatoes I've ever grown, doing it on purpose this year!!
I am far from Wales in the US on the west coast, i live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon on the boarder of zone 8a/b. We have had great success with hardy kiwi. Not great luck with the fuzzy type. They are a great fall treat that you can just pop in your mouth and eat like a grape! LOVE THEM!
I’m going to try growing peaches up against a wall in my garden but that south facing shed wall would be perfect to try too. Such inspiring videos - once my garden is more established next year I can’t wait to take more cuttings and split perennials to spread amongst my friends .
Japanese wineberry on shed wall definitely- you can get really ‘swirly and loopy’ with the training as they do at the RHS. Looks beautiful. They also do it with the humble blackberry.
I propagated for the first time late last year. Fig, currants, holly, stevia ( just in time as the frost killed the mother plant even though I had it fleeced in the greenhouse). The cuttings are all still alive - all overwintered in unheated greenhouse but I’m frightened to plant them out 😬
picked up my copy of the new book on thursday. packed full of ideas. very stimulating. even found myself mentally punching the air a few times.
Oh wow where did you get it from?! So so glad you are enjoying it Mike!
I pre ordered at my local water stones. 🙂
Inspiring local coffee! I guess tea is doable to source locally now, the Dutch grew some cold resistant plants I heard.
Certainly herbal tea ;) Though I am not a fan!
Ah yes that has been a possibility for some time now 😉

So much good stuff here. I love the format, feels like we are right there with you in the garden having a conversation!
Is the book available in the USA? If so, where can it be purchased?

Not sure if it would work up with you, but my grandad grows kiwi fruit in Devon. Could be something to try against the new shed?

I think every video needs to end with a little coffee/tea break. Looks delicious!
