Due to the housing crisis in Lisbon we were forced to move into my boyfriend's grandfather's house on the country-side in Portugal. At first I really missed Lisbon, but in the meantime I've started observing our land, the fruit trees and the massive kale that's been growing there for years. This year I started planting my own things - I've never experienced so much continuous joy, it has honestly healed me. Taking care of your plants and seeing them grow is just the most beautiful thing to do! And rhubarbs are just THE BEST thing in the world!!! Can't get enough of them!

Like you, I didn’t really start vegetable gardening until 2020, and I am ancient (late 70’s), and very tiny, so I often wonder how many years I can keep going. Each year I have been increasing my growing area and trying new things, all with the help of the YT “University”. Charles Dowding and Liz Zorab are my favourites. I now grow almost everything I eat. Also I have a small flock of lovely chickens.

Will you ever talk about mental health more explicitly, Gaz? I know you're focusing on the good side in your videos, but I remember mental health being a recurring theme in your earlier videos, even if not in depth. I always wonder how you cope with being vegan and growing your own food in a cruel and capitalist world that makes this lifestyle very hard? Because I'm struggling and I feel I'd do the same as you if money wasn't an issue.. But I know I still wouldn't be magically happy, because of how our society works..

Hello from New York, 🇺🇸👋🏽😊 First time viewing your wonderful video! I retired last year and started gardening with one tomato plant & one green pepper plant , a few herbs & lots of flowers!💐 When we had a hot summer last year it was very challenging dealing with bottom end rot, but thanks to folks like you and KZbin university I was able to resolve the issue. This year I am growing more vegetables in pots and grow bags & it exciting because they are doing well. Had a few hiccups with weather changing cold unpredictably, had a few “ plant casualties” but nothing major. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and excitement for gardening! Lovely to see a young man gardening! Keep on inspiring other young people ( and some of us seniors, 😂😅) to grow food! God bless! 💗❤️💕👍🏽

As for the nettle tea, I do it with all my weeds from my garden. The fermentation process kills all the seeds, so no need to worry about them coming up again. It’s really a great way to use the weeds when you’re scared to put it in your compost because of the seeds sprouting. That also adds other nutrients to the tea other than nitrogen. I even do that with herbs sometimes because of the essential oils that are great for preventing pests and diseases.

Where I live now have some old fruit trees on the farm the house I rent in colder part of Australia lovely walnut tree ,2 nectarines , massive fig tree and granny Smith apple . There,s a wild red apple down the road I pick from.too. make a lot of jams and stew fruit for the freezer .My eldest daughter and her family are on a farm nearby .They planted fruit trees years ago. I have had some yummy cherries ,mulberries, pears and quinces from her this year .Made 8 mixed size jars of quince jam . Feel so spoilt . I have a few areas for veggies around the garden and have made a new area in old closed in chook pen .Which I enclosed inside with shade cloth as 3klms from the coast and get some really strong winds . I,ve had MS for over 30 years and went on a gluten free diet at 31 as had read may help ,in lots of ways it has .Just making myself go out into the garden for a bit every second day and my plants needing watering has made me upright still too say it hasn't been hard ummm. Pretty much all my food has been organic . If you kept eating the way you are as you get older people can't believe I,m the age I am they say much younger than 65 . Think my English dad had something too do with that ,as he never looked his age . Look forward too next video.

If you know a beekeeper, pass the leaves their way, the oxilic acid in the leaves kills varroa mites, a leaf or 2 can go inside the hive - the bees eat through it, on the next inspection remove the thick vein, or put them all underneath ;) it doesn't harm the bees, doesn't affect the honey, or wax. Also safer (for the bees and keeper) than using industrial oxiliac acid in the autumn. I use my Rhubarb leaves as a mulch under my hives to help stop the weeds and grass. ❤
