Please DO continue this series! I grow things that I would have bought, but I find myself saying " what" do I DO with the things I grow! Would love us to eat more veg!
I love seeing farm-to-plate content. Cooking great meals while taking advantage of what's in season can feel intimidating, but these videos help bridge that gap and give confidence to viewers like me. Banging job as always, Charles.
Please make weekly videos like this with different chefs. You can literally add a new branch to your brand and monetize it. We all would love to see that series. Chefs in Summer garden…
Lol. 7 year old me arrived home from school to find mother not arrived back. It felt like a long wait and the only "food" available was a sack of potatoes dressed in their dirt. I ate one like an apple. Mother opened the door to find me, dirt smeared face and "guilty" of eating raw spud. I'm sure it did my gut biome the world of good!😊
I grew up in a culture where most people grew a garden, most grew the same crops, gardened the same way and prepared mostly traditional foods. This video was wonderful. I’ve never seen veggies prepared like this before. Such an amazing education I’m getting here.
Wow, this video was pure joy. Definitely some allotment barbeque goals right here. Chantelle is fantastic and I think she brought out the kid at Christmas in Charles!
Loved having Chanetelle's chef insights into flavors and what to use from plant tops to get more from the garden! Perhaps an episode of what tops to avoid eating would be a good for a little "summer harvest joy of cooking" series?
Wow, totally surprised at how she prepared everything. What a unique take on combination and preparation. Very interesting. I think everyone who grows their own food is looking for different ways to prepare it. We love the tried and true, but new and interesting ways to prepare and combine ingredients help keep us interested and motivated to keep growing. Thanks for the video. 💗
Thank you Charles. I think about you often these days when I work in my garden. Its my first year working exclusively with my homemade compost and the results are beyond my expectations, which were high. Everything is extremely healthy and green, full of life. I learned everything from you so all the joy i'm enjoying these days is thanks to you! Cheers Charles. Great video and editing thank you to the entire team
Charles really is a superb disseminator of knowledge & has significantly increased the productivity of my fruit & vegetable growing. Making your own compost is great but it can become addictive - was fishing the other week & there was a big pile of weed pulled from the lake & another of chipped willow branches from the last work party. All now stacked on my allotment for future use.😁
@@GARDENER42 Haha the algae story was hilarious, that would be 100% me too! I'm literally as addicted as you, its a very fun hobby. Thank you for sharing.
Charles, the look on your face when you ate the pepper leaves was priceless 😍 All of the other 'firsts' were equally adorable: smelling squash flowers, eating raw potatoes, etc. What a lovely afternoon it must have been. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Charles, I understand it’s not easy to chefs to come to you that often, but this kind of video is what I would watch every month if you could. I’m limiting myself to grow what I know how to cook, but having someone going around the garden collecting veg and making meals with what’s available is what I’d love to see more often. Thank you for everything you doing. 😊
Nice to hear. You're right it's not easy for them always and another factor is my own time, this was the best part of a day to film, much longer than usual. These videos are a free resource and I'm always having to balance that, with how much time I can make available.
What a talented chef! I am unsure why her voice is so soothing to me. I fell asleep like a baby. Not to worry, I watched it again when I woke up. I imagine I will learn new ways to see food with her technique. I learned a lot about foods I currently eat but would never prepare like her. Glad her account came up in IG. Thanks for sharing.
The rhubarb leaf does help to lure the pests away from other plants and the rhubarb itself. I always scatter the leaves around after a harvest. Plus it adds nutrients back into the soil as it degrades.
This was fun! I definitely would like to see more of this on your channel. I'm literally watching thinking "Oh, now there's a great recipe idea for fixing my veggies that I never thought of!!"
Hi Charles, I noticed some black material covering the soil where the squashes are growing. Question, do you lay plastic so that the squashes grow without touching the soil (avoid rotten)? I ask because I had this issue with my pumpkins last year, they have rotten from picking up moisture from the ground so I had been wondering how to deal with this next season. Would love to hear your approach. Daniela from Australia.
Thanks for your comment Daniela and that piece of black plastic is to smother weeds because just four months earlier it had been a weedy block of pasture, growing very strongly. It works well to make a few holes and plant squash into the compost and soil below the plastic. I actually find with winter squash that they survive nicely even on wet plastic, or soil, without any support under them. Pumpkins maybe are softer skinned.
Lovely Charles. We want more!!! By the way, you can eat squash leaves either for pesto or like quilted spinach or use them like banana leaves for wrapping and cooking things inside
This was the most fun. Thanks for having us tag along and listen in, loved it. Funny, I roast all my veg, never tried it on the grill, will be doing that the rest of summer.
They do that because when they have tried to show cooking content on their gardening channel, the algorithm doesn’t reward their efforts with views. So they stick with the garden.
starting 23:44 or so .. what an AMAZING stand of squash plants! So tall and proud! In my area, unfortunately, I havent found out yet how to keep the squash vine borer moth from decimating them at that stage from looking like they have been deprived of water.
Greetings Charles and Chantelle from Windermere, Florida 9b 🇺🇸 What a delight to watch and listen to you chat as you pick. Wonderful recipes Chantelle. Thanks for sharing 👍 Much success in your restaurant 👍
@CharlesDowding1nodig We're in the 90's F. I'm gardening very early and praying that the plants can handle the heat. Thank goodness for afternoon Showers 🌨🌩🌨
👩🍳 That was super awesome! The delight on both your faces at learning from each other and tasting the veggies was joyful - particularly on yours at the Szechuan leaves and the spiralised potato. Two experts in their field, each absorbing learnings from the other like sponges. Just amazing, loved it! More, please 😊
Amazing viewing! I am inspired to cook and serve a whole lot more 'bits' of my veggies... and grow more varied veg and herbs. Brilliant! Please do more like this! Thank you so much
How lovely to have this abundance to harvest from. I'm enjoying the harvest of squash, strawberries, pea shoots and snap peas, salad, spinach, pak choi, dill, chervil, chive, beetroot leaves, and borage flowers. My calendulas are flowering too and soon I can make my Calendula oil for topical use on skin issues and wound healing. It was so lovely to see what a skilled chef could do with the freshest of produce.
Love seeing the kiwi ingenuity in action with the freshest food. We definitely need to explore ways of making our meals different and exciting. But the raw potato was a surprise. I'm sure I grew up being told not to eat raw potato, but so much changes with time and new information.
Oh! I loved this video so very much! Please do keep up on this series. So charming and informative. Wonderful to see you learning from each other’s experience.
I am a cook myself and I strive to lower my waste in the kitchen and from my garden so this video has been probably one of my favorite videos from you. I love all your videos but this one was extremely helpful in a different way than you usually post. Thank you so much for giving us yet another wonderful video and I love you getting to taste some more tops of things and discovering that peppery plant.
Great video! Nice to see a kiwi, from a fellow kiwi's perspective, making amazing food and doing well. Shows what type of healthy meals you can make from vegetables even those "going over".
Absolutely love this video! Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful garden and cooking ideas. May God continue to bless your efforts. Jesus loves each and every one of you
Liked that a lot, Charles. Maybe you could invite a different chef each season and see what they come up with. Can we have more of the cooking, please, if you do more. Well done, both!
@@CharlesDowding1nodig i would also like to thank you for saving my tomato plant i dropped something on it and broke it in half when i saw your melon pland you repaired using a side shoot it worked with my plant its caught up with the others lol just need to get my onions growing from seed next year 3 years fail not giving up lol
This was such a fun episode. I love them all, don't get me wrong, but I totally cook like this in the summer, though with far less panache! It was great to see such kitchen creativity and simplicity all at once! I am inspired!
another lovely video which made me whoop. Since having treatment for head and neck cancer a few years ago i been unable to tolerate black pepper or chilli (miss it so much) and have tried many alternatives but had never heard of alexanders as a pepper substitute. Cant wait to try it. thank you for all your content.
My dear friend thank you so much for sharing another awesome awesome garden tour today you have a beautiful piece of property and you have taken such good care of it. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy, and Debbie.
Mr Dowding I just want to say I'm from South Africa and I have learnt so much from you. May the heavens bless you for all the magic that you have shared with us and continue to share.... I bless all of you with home grown food abundance ❤❤❤️ and good health for years to come❤
I signed up about a week ago after coming across your name and found the channel. Great information. I've studied spair time no til, and regenerative agriculture for few years. Love your gardens. This was enjoyable
I'm from Sichuan where Sichuan peppers get their name from and we literally put them in every dish. I live in the UK now and am growing 2 Sichuan pepper plants. You can use their tender leaves in savory pancakes, amasing!
This was amazing. Esp. all the odd bits of knowledge and questions, ideas etc. that came up as you walked the garden ! Raw potatoes - yes, when I was very young my teenage aunts, who lived next door ( up the road, on the main farm property w my Grandma, here in Wisconsin, USA on a dairy farm my folks run today), helped my grandma in their large garden and introduced us to snacking on a fresh, raw potato. Sliced up and sprinkled w salt n pepper. Delicious ! Years later, when she had a garden of own again on their Arizona property, her own children were astonished that one could ( or WOULD) eat a raw potato, and also enjoyed it.
This was amazing! Thank you to the chef! It's important, in this case, to break the rules of cooking. We throw so much food away because we just don't know how to use it or are taught not to use it. Thinking outside the box given to us. This was great and it all looked delicious!
Best tour of the garden ever! New finds and flavors for chef and gardener alike. What amazing work you and your team do, Charles. Thank you for sharing it and your knowledge with us.
What a fascinating video Charles, I loved every part of it. What a way to eat, dig it up, pick it and cook it immediately. What an interesting way of cooking veg too. Truly inspiring. More of this please!!!
I would love more of these. I see lots of this sentiment in the comment section, but I think there's a major benefit to inspiring the elevated consumption as well as the production of healthy, seasonal, organic food.
I semi watched/listened whilst emptying & cleaning my bath, & letting a soaking wet cat in etc. I will definitely be watching properly & taking notes as super interesting. Was also happy to know I wasn’t the only person with no idea of (even) what part of a herb you should harvest ;) 🥰
Please DO continue this series! I grow things that I would have bought, but I find myself saying " what" do I DO with the things I grow! Would love us to eat more veg!
Ah cool, and we shall

Nice thought, I just have not the time, although Gas is up soon on his channel
I get far more out of this type of information than out of reading a book. It is the subtle comments and dialog that works well for me.
Thanks.
My pleasure 🙂
Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your lovely conversation!
Lol. 7 year old me arrived home from school to find mother not arrived back. It felt like a long wait and the only "food" available was a sack of potatoes dressed in their dirt. I ate one like an apple. Mother opened the door to find me, dirt smeared face and "guilty" of eating raw spud. I'm sure it did my gut biome the world of good!😊
Great memory!!
Great story. Good on you
My parent/s found me one morning sitting in the dog basket eating Bonios!
@@tiffcat1100 Healthy!!
Good to meet a chef that is reasonable and not an ego. Thank you .
😂
I grew up in a culture where most people grew a garden, most grew the same crops, gardened the same way and prepared mostly traditional foods. This video was wonderful. I’ve never seen veggies prepared like this before. Such an amazing education I’m getting here.
So good to hear Yvonne 🙂
Wow, this video was pure joy. Definitely some allotment barbeque goals right here. Chantelle is fantastic and I think she brought out the kid at Christmas in Charles!
💚 cool!
Loved having Chanetelle's chef insights into flavors and what to use from plant tops to get more from the garden! Perhaps an episode of what tops to avoid eating would be a good for a little "summer harvest joy of cooking" series?
What a special day for the both of you! Each of you are equally vegetable artisans in your own rights.
Thanks Sofia 💚
12:03 Charles' reaction was the highlight of his video for me! He's usually so calm and laid back!!
😮!!
Hahaa me too. That was the face of, oh game changer 🙌
Wow, totally surprised at how she prepared everything. What a unique take on combination and preparation. Very interesting.

Charles really is a superb disseminator of knowledge & has significantly increased the productivity of my fruit & vegetable growing.
Making your own compost is great but it can become addictive - was fishing the other week & there was a big pile of weed pulled from the lake & another of chipped willow branches from the last work party.
All now stacked on my allotment for future use.😁
@@GARDENER42 Haha the algae story was hilarious, that would be 100% me too! I'm literally as addicted as you, its a very fun hobby. Thank you for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it Claire 🙂 and that is a lovely comparison
More of this pleeeeease! Most gardening channels leave out ideas of what to do with the harvest and end up wasting a lot.
They do that because when they have tried to show cooking content on their gardening channel, the algorithm doesn’t reward their efforts with views. So they stick with the garden.
Thank you Rory
