GARDENING ONLINE GET GROWING
Hi Huw – we've been waiting to chat to you ever since watching your great videos on YouTube and receiving a copy of your book, The Vegetable Grower's Handbook. We'd love to know what got you into gardening.
Do you guys rememberThe Good Life on TV? That inspired my parents quite a lot – it got my parents into the dream – along with John Seymour's book on self-sufficiency. Before they moved to where they are now, they had a terraced house with a front lawn which they ripped out and completely remade into a garden. Years later when they moved, the new owners put it back to lawn. Then one day they were redoing the kitchen and discovered that a photograph of how my parents had the garden had fallen behind a cupboard and they were so amazed by how nice the garden looked; they put it back again to how it was when my parents had it.
My parents wanted awhen I was two or three in a red onesie just looking at a raised bed and I had no idea how significant that would become.
