I love gardening but I also love meat. Got to have good beef. It makes you strong

I couldn't agree more. I live in England with a totally different climate but I couldn't be more inspired than I am by these videos. Thank you weedy gardener, your videos are better than anything I've seen on the mainstream box. Just beautiful

Emma you are so right wish it was easier for us to get land to do this in this country and wish we could grow tropical fruits sustainabley

[@martinevanloon2695]

Oh my - the last part bought tears to my eyes - the stars were so beautiful- the whole thing was beautiful- the way you filmed it and the simple joy of moving around your garden and eating the produce. It’s set up a yearning in me now - what a wonderful way to live.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Follow that yearning. It’ll put 20 years on your life probably 🦍

I became a Patreon when I first discovered your work last year because the value of education and wonder, in just one video, is priceless. Imagine if Weedy’s teachings were available in schools. 😍 What’s that you say? A movie?! 🎬 Cannot wait! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us 🙏🌱❤️

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Yes Yes! Thankyou for noticing. It takes me approx 100 hours to edit an episode. 🤪 Most of them I start with about 5 to 7 hours of footage that I have to melt down to 15-20 minutes.

Imagine choosing capitalism over this.

[@stickolascage2936]

Oh come on you life is meant for paying taxes why do you want freedom for ? 😂

[@haydenjames5857]

Capitalism is the only reason he’s able to go out and buy this land. Capitalism gives people freedom to innovate and create and buy what they want and need. United States isn’t even a complete capitalist economy because of the multi billion dollar corporations that monopolize all areas of the economy.

[@silverlining_1995]

Bruh, capitalism is free trade…. This is where it thrives m8. He just didn’t show it. Capitalism is also better than the alternatives. Least it gives power, chance and choice to the people. Everything else takes it away and gives more power to people who’d love to rule over you. Yes, his garden is lovely. You’re welcome to volunteer and live the same way. In socialist, communist or Marxist societies, you would not lol

[@silverlining_1995]

I do believe you meant “imagine choosing the city and fast life over this”

[@cindyspiess9963]

insanity isn't it ? 😏

[@Maplebeatz]

This is giving me goosebumps. 10 years ago that was about the picture I painted about my future life as I thought I will stay in australia for the rest of my life. But now, 10 years later everything is different. Living the big citylife on the other side of the world; watching and listening to you is waking up my deep inner desires. They are crying. My inner demons of procrastination standing next to them - laughing hard and celebrating! Thank's for this inspirational content. It's hard to watch. But I love it. It makes me cry. I love this. I love you I guess. Namstelicious! Peace.

Oh wow, what a divine day, such a beautiful episode. The way you live in such connection is very moving, it really brings home the feeling of 'being nature' rather than just being 'in nature', the separation in the world today does such damage to humans and the rest of the living world. There is such a lot of respect and love in your films. Thank you for the inspiration and vibrancy you bring!

[@jesscoachsds]

Wow, that was lovely. Thanks for all that you’ve done Mr Weedy - ‘inspirational’ doesn’t even begin to describe the effect your films have had on me. Have made the move from Melbourne to Brisbane now so your content is all the more climate-relevant. Thanks again!

[@seanthedevlin]

Thank you Weedy. This is my favorite episode yet, and I've been watching from the beginning. My 5-year old song watched this with me today, and it was the first time we had bonded over a mutual love for how we can grow our own food so papa doesn't have to "work all day" a job he doesn't like just to buy food, haha. He now shares my excitement for composting, worm farms, and all the good stuff!!! Love you man! 🙏

Wow just amazing this last shot and what a beautiful day. For me it‘s just a pleasure watching you in the weedy garden.
