Growing, Preserving & Cooking. How much time I actually spend in the garden..

[@juliac6309]

You’re so real for saying you’d rather be in the garden than going to a social event - being in the garden is the best ❤

[@MiiPaintings]

I absolutely agree with that.❤ I am sure lots of us (Gaz viewers) are like that ❤

[@francesfree]

Yes 100% agree

[@nyana.]

I think we have a cheeky club going on, where instead of socialising with each other, we spend time in the garden 😅

[@bakad5458]

what if there was a social event in the garden 😂

[@Chr1st_has_risen]

Why have people all of a sudden started separating the self from everyone else (probably the self worshipping causing narcissism). Your nature worshipping instead of helping people, when you can have a balance.

Gaz, every time I watch one of your videos, I feel inspired to give more attention to my passions! I find myself confronting a season of self-abandonment, yet watching you embrace every fiber of your life helps remind me of what it felt like before I came to this stretch of my life. Thank you for being you. I am continually grateful for the sincerety of your creative contributions!

[@franciska5892]

Whereas netflix shows make me feel a bit sluggish and drained after watching, your videos fill me with joy and inspiration! Thanks for your art Gaz ✨️

[@SiljeMeum]

I so agree! Gaz, Huw and Tecmow inspire me so much to just get things done

[@klerain5774]

Gaz, watching you work in your garden and cook is so relaxing. You have such a Zen thing about you and you're always smiling and you're a compassionate Vegan

[@sophieveggie]

You inspired my father and i to grow more of our own food this year, and we started preserving pickles,beets,hot peppers,san marzano tomatoes, what we know we consume in a year normally. We never grew so much food in our lives, so exciting, based on our calculations, we will have tomatoes for more than a year. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@gazoakleychef]

His calm, secure and passionate energy is what's most attractive about him.

[@archaicrevivalsYTchannel]

[@maxsam1537]

Totally gorgeous

[@donnabrooks1173]

But even more than his looks, which he is gorgeous, His personality, character and the way he treats his family, especially his parents speaks volumes as to the type of person he is. That's more important than looks. While we all want to be attracted to someone, looks are nothing if a person has a black heart, which he clearly doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, you get what you see.

[@maithonnewmai1557]

Everything is gorgeous about him including every plants in the garden.

[@bonniepoole1095]

If I have extra green growing, I cut them up, blanch them, make balls from the banched greens, freeze the balls on a cookie sheet and then put the frozen balls into freezer bags. These frozen balls of green veg can go into noodle dishes, soups and stews on nasty winter days when I don't feel like braving the weather out in the garden.

[@tara1555]

This is a great tip

[@thejelbinator]

Gaz - please never stop what you are doing! You're a massive inspiration.

I couldn't imagine a more perfect life.🎉 I share the sentiment.I'd rather be in the garden and live among nature than in a social event.I am loving the peace and melodic harmony of sounds.

[@ElectricRootz]

I made kimchi back in April out of the wild garlic I harvested and some other vegetables. My dad invited me out for a barbecue a couple of weeks ago and being plant-based living nobody caters for me when I get invited to go places, I usually have to bring me own. So I did, I had my marinated king oyster mushrooms and I brought my kimchi which I never opened. I stupidly forgot to take the glass weight of it before I traveled in the car. I turned a corner and I could smell my kimchi, it smelt absolutely sensational, but it smashed all over the front seat of my car. I was tested that day. I kept my cool 😎, I could see my dad felt terrible for me, it smelt absolutely delicious and that's as far as it went for me. I never got to taste my lovely wild garlic kimchi 😭🤣💚🌿🌱

[@truthbetold2611]

Make it again next time you harvest some wild garlic. Kimchi never gets old. Neither does plant-based food : )

[@ElectricRootz]

I use kale in cold, fresh green drinks, I add spinach celery broccoli and some kale. It works best when I freeze the fresh vegetables and puree them all together in a vitamix. Machine. And I add water approximately 20 ounces, and I add flax seed, hemp seed, chip seed, and Holy basil seed for that protein boost Then I store about 10 ounces in little jars, as I take them out of the frig to drink throughout my day, I add one jar to 16 Oz glass and fill it up with more water because the green s are so concentrated. ..it's so yummy...I crave it Just watched your cooking...gonna make it for my Hubby tomorrow

My favourite kale dish: - salt the washed kale and knead it a little bit to mix and wilt the leaves - douse with oil of choice, layer them in a baking dish and bake in the oven until the top layer is crispy - mix in the kale with a Tahini-garlic-lemon-water sauce - put that on sour dough bread and eat!!

What about emigrating to Slavonia/ Croatia? We already had to much sun this year, that I can say: I’ve had enough! Probably not more than 10 days of rain from January until now, super fertile soil, everything is growing like crazy, lovely rolling hills landscape, enough fresh spring water from the mountains, a huge natural reserve behind our house and very few people… we love it!

I lived in Tuscany for a year and I thought it was one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We lived on the estate where they grew organic wine and olives and there was a tiny restaurant that had its own vegetable garden, plus they made a sweet wine called Vin Santo and to sit outside on a warm summers evening watching the fireflies and enjoying the wine was heaven. I’d like to eat Gaz’s food in such a place! ❤

Nice garden lovely kale 🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬 I grew up on Hawaii and some of us love rain 🌧️ look rain is watering your garden your plants love rain 🌧️ that's one reason Hawaii has nice gardens rains like everyday in Hawaii on east side of island 🏝️ we were thankful for rain but not hurricanes haha

[@brendadebona]

Come to Malaysia. Specifically Cameron Highlands. Malaysia is a primarily hot country and doesn't have winter. Cameron is the city that supplies the greatest veggies, fuits, plants and flowers for a lot of places, it has the perfect weather for the perfect garden (at least from what I've seen). It has a colder temperature than in the rest of Malaysia (from my experience, the perfect temperature - not hot and not cold) and it rains in the perfect timing as well.😂 It's definitely worth to check out more deeply and see if it fits your expectations and plans.

[@carmengray2807]

I will definitely be making this! If you do decide to leave Wales, please consider the Big Island of Hawai'i. We have all the climate zones except arctic tundra, so it's possible to find the sweet spot between too much rain and not enough. We grow organic vegetables, coffee, avocados, citrus, tropical fruits, and bananas year-round on our farm here. The island (and state) suffers from food insecurity, despite the crazy abundance, because almost all of our food is imported. Some of us are trying to change that, as well as promoting plant-based eating/living, and you could make a valuable contribution! Come visit!

Your kale could also be used in a good soup or stew, you could do a vegan Tuscan soup with it. Also sautéed with mushrooms and served with potatoes, mashed or baked or even rice. If you have sweet potatoes those would also be delicious with kale along with carrots. Using other items with the kale that are high in vitamin c is also good to help with iron absorption, so citrus or onions, or even roses which can be used in a powder form etc. are good. The kimchi roti looks tasty and the sauce on top seems like it would be a great flavor combination. A teriyaki sauce would probably be good with that too. I would definitely try it. Thank you as always for the content and having a great team.😊

About moving abroad to continue your fantastic journey.. well as a fellow Brit originally living very close to beautiful Monmouthshire I now currently live in the Italian mountains in north italy not too far from lake como...with my doggy... healthy mountain air, long hot summers, fresh glacier lakes, pine trees and streams.... this area is full of prime organic food, from fresh cheese made in mountain huts, to olives, grapes, fruit and veg and nuts and figs and mushrooms that literally grow in the woodlands and can be plucked from the trees and fields... free for all to enjoy. As Italy offers the world's best cuisine apparently then it's a dream food haven for the likes of you and me my friend.... not to mention the free living lifestyle away from UK polotics, drab weather and depressing stressful rat race of work...! you'd be welcome anytime to crash at my small humble apartment while I happily guide you about and introduce you to some great locals and places of great food and joy. Peace and love brother... I'm grateful I stumbled upon your chanel. Many blessings. 😃👍🙏✌️❤️

Wash the KALE leaves, cut away from the stalks, spin dry, stuff as many as will fit into jumbo plastic zip lock bags. Roll the bag tight starting at the bottom until you can roll and push as much air out of the bag as possible and then zip closed. Stuff the roll into the freezer and then use in smoothies, sprinkled into soups, stews, casseroles or wherever you need kale! You can even sprinkle over live fresh greens in salads. Cook the stalks if you're so inclined and stuff those into quart jars and pour your favorite vinegar over them, stuff multiple garlic cloves in the jars and even herbs if you so desire and then refrigerate. These are nice as a side dish in buddha bowls or anywhere you need something that is pickled! In vinegar they will last for more than a year!

Gaz, for the Chinese pancake, we use a "hot" dough with hot water. It makes the pancake stay elastic in room temperature. You could mix 2/3 cup boiling water with 1/2 cup room temperature water. Use as much as needed for your dough to come together. This hot dough isn't too soft to work with or prone to crack open when you roll.

[@gazoakleychef]

thanks for the tip!!!

[@truthbetold2611]

@@gazoakleychef The popular Chinese potstickers and green onion pancakes usually make use of a hot dough. Potstickers and dumplings use basically the same fillings but the hot dough for potstickers that are pan fried (with just enough oil to coat and brown the bottom then steamed with water that covers about 2/3 way up of the potstickers with lid on until all evaporated) results in a skin that's chewy but not hard, versus room temperature dough used for skins of dumplings that are cooked in a pot of water. Hope this helps.
