I’ve seen a lot of these videos of KZbin recently and that are stiff conversations with clear roots in self promotion for each of themselevs. It’s so refreshing to watch this so natural and interesting conversation the rapport is fantastic the only thing missing was a cuppa tea. Like 2 old friends catching up over vegetables ❤

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

Thank you and don't worry - there were refreshments!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Thanks. We had a great time catching up - it was the first time I'd visited this garden of Steph's and was so excited to see it. We did indeed have a cuppa after the walk 🍵

[@lisakennedy]

Such an amazing woman. Thanks for sharing!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

I agree! Steph is an absolute fountain of practical knowledge

Beetroot salad looked yummy. It will be so nice to see you visit Danu’s Irish herb garden. Mrs. Conroy is very original and a heavenly person. Thanks for all your great videos.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

I hope to be visiting lots more gardens over the next months.Stay tuned.🌻

@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife that is so good to hear Morag

[@maplenook]

Excited to read her books. Thank you!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

They are so great. Full of very practical and useful information and inspiration.

[@barbarajuneelderphelps2390]

Lovely! Thank you so much for this wander! Warmly, from the rainiest month in Costa Rica.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

You're welcome Barbara. Hello from Australia to Costa Rica!

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

Thank you Stephanie and Morag for the wander and ideas. Very fortunate to not have to water the grow tunnel. We really don’t know what climate change will bring with mid winter 40 degree temperatures in South america and mid winter 30’s temperatures in Sydney. Making our gardens resilient as Morag shows on her youtube film is so important. Stephanie you have made the very best out of what you could. That clearing did show you how much did actually work! Well done! The food you made from your abundance looked delicious.

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

Thank you. It is certainly a challenge! I knew this area would be wetter and a bit cooler than my previous garden in Somerset, but now we have climate change in the mix and no idea what to expect next. Resilience is key, as you say.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Absolutely delicious. I felt so nourished after Stephanie's home-cooked lunch.

[@mattsmith9656]

Watching from Western Australia, missing the Welsh weather and the smells of Autumn…. Great content… thank you 🙏

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

You and me both! I'm back in Queensland now and it's hot and very very dry!!!

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

Do they spray the skies in Wales like they do in other parts of the world?

[@rrichards1210]

I was fascinated to see the fennel growing between the tomatoes in Stephanie's polytunnel. My research into companion planting says that nothing likes to grow with fennel, and tomatoes in particular. Can Stephanie grow these together because she uses the no dig method? Or have we been misinformed regarding what not to plant near each other. I love fennel and have been quite successful this year in producing enough for our family but running out of places to plant the next seedlings as I plan out where to plant the tomatoes, beans etc for summer. If fennel can grow near tomatoes it would make it so much easier.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading what do you think?

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

It's misinformation, I've been growing Florence fennel interplanted with all kinds of other veg for years, and interplanted with tomatoes over winter for about 12 or 13 years, when I first got my a polytunnel. I don't tend to worry about companion planting too much, except for obvious things like not planting something that will grow huge and shade out neighbouring light loving plants, that kind of thing. It is interesting how companion planting charts and books all offer varying advice, too.

[@joshwasereyesterday]

Wonder if she has to deal with legumous grasses?

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

I wonder @stephaniehaffertyhomesteading - has that been an issue for you?

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

I wasn't sure what you meant, so had to look it up and I am still not sure, because Google is suggesting legumes within pasture rather than a grass. Can you give me examples please? The lawn here contains perennial clover, creeping buttercup, creeping thistle, big thistle, dandelion, amongst other plants. In my previous plots in England there was a lot of couch grass.

[@joshwasereyesterday]

@@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading I mean grass like the dreaded kikuyu!

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

@@joshwasereyesterday we don't have that in the UK

[@maplenook]

Hot enough for celery?

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

When do you grow your celery @stephaniehaffertyhomesteading?

[@stephaniehaffertyhomesteading]

I grow celery most of the year, outside during spring/summer/autumn and undercover during the winter. The winter growing is mostly undercover and more for individual stems for cooking, rather than harvesting as a whole plant. Very deep extended cold can kill it off. I find red celery to be the most durable over winter. During the summer I grow red, pink and the usual green/white celery.
