About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving partner, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Monmouthshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
There is a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep chickens and Aylesbury ducks.

I'm in the Pacific Northwestern United States zone 7b with a temperate climate much like yours. I have found that English gardeners, such as yourself, have been such a wonderful font of knowledge for me as our climate is very similar. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏 ❤.
Many thanks for your help. Just got an allotment after a 7 year wait. It's been very helpful ❤️✌️
Please, please, please where do you get that tubing from…. thanks.
Thank you Liz, can I ask what part of the UK 🇬🇧 you are? I’m in Croydon Surrey!
Hi Liz
Are those Cosmos in amongst the tomatoes? They look delightful. Elizabeth and family 5:29 ❤
Thanks 🙏 👍
Also, thanks for the freezer tomato tipxx
Thanks so much, Liz. I never realised just how much I can grow in October. Now I can relax and stop panicking to get things sown in autumn. Much appreciated
Wow, absolutely love your channel Liz. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 😊
In the video Liz didn’t recommend a beetroot variety. For winter growing I found Pablo and Rhonda both do well under cover and don’t go hard and woody.
Kale does grow well, Liz recommended red Russian, my favourite is dwarf green curled. Spinach matador does well in a polyunnel planted in a seed tray in September and then into the ground undercover in October. Tatsoi is also good over wintered and is fast growing, it is like a cross between young pak choi and a baby leaf spinach.
I agree with the Amsterdam3 carrot recommendation. Eskimo is another good carrot variety.
Thank you again for all your sharing 🙂
Hello liz, OMG so glad to have found you. I live in South Wales and have been growing veg for a few years, although I still feel my knowledge is that of a beginner. I haven’t grown in the winter before, but I have sown cauliflower, broccoli potatoes, and hope to do carrots and perhaps peas. I don’t have a grow tunnel as it’s windy here ( near the loughor estuary) so they tend to lift in the wind and I’ve lost many a tray of seedlings. Can you advise where I can buy the hoop tubing please. I’d like to get what I’ve sown under plastic before it gets too cold. Thank you for all you do.
👌🏻
I'm in N Germany. Does anyone have any hints on suitable varieties? My climate isn't so different (think Edinburgh ish) but the post office now charges extra to handle orders from the UK. :-(.
Wonderful and informative. Thank you b

thanks for sharing this list. I am excited to try these vegetables, especially the garlic and onions which will be my first time.
I enjoyed your video, Most likely not going to work for me in the Australian Tropics. 🙂
Brilliant idea with the growing tunnel,will be making one myself..
Thank you, Liz. It's my first winter with a polytunnel so carrots and kale will be sown tomorrow.
Liz when you talk about undercover in poly tunnel do you direct sow in the ground or in pots? 🇨🇦☮️🥬🥕🌶✌️
Hi Liz, I have just taken up gardening and have built myself a raised border, two feet deep, 12 feet by 3feet, I am wanting to plant winter veg or even soft fruit, any tips/information in what to fit in my raised border would be a great help to me for future gardening! I have created young strawberry plants from the mother plant, should I transfer them into the raised border with plastic covering, I had a pot of raspberries that only gave me 6 raspberries, do I need to cut/trim them back before re-planting them under cover for the winter? Many thanks Liz!
We have large backward so planning for vegetable farming from next week but have no idea about seeds where to bring from even fertilizer and this season farming. Thank you your video is helpful but please suggest me where I can bring seeds and what's the name of them 🙏 I will be grateful
Thank you, Liz. All your videos are informative especially for newbie organic gardener like me. God bless you always.
