About Us.
I share our organic homestead, called Byther Farm, 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.
I’m currently exploring permaculture farming as a way of life.
We keep hybrid chickens and also have breeding flocks of Jersey Giants and Australorp chickens and Aylesbury ducks.

never mind the bumble bee liz. my peace would be shattered if the wife walked into my greenhouse. come back mr bumble bee. all is forgiven. lol……………………brian
It looks like you are in a colder climate. How do you keep your rosemary looking so good?
Hello, is there a perennial rosemary? Here in Ontario is cold so not sure if there is an specific Rosemary for this climate
Herbs are a favorite of mine too!
What zones do these grow in? And do they grow better in sun or shade?
sorry Liz you chasing the bee is my favorite bits i am laughing my head off. lol
I love rosemary, thyme and oregano❤️ The swallowtail butterflies love my dill and parsley 🐛
Please could you list the herbs ma’am as I could not hear all of them. I am wanting to encourage bees and butterflies etc in Northern England
Thank you
Such beautiful well established herbs. I love ALL herbs haha. Can’t do without in my cooking but I wish I had more beauties like yours.
A lovely book is:Judith Hann Herbs
rosemary or lavender. either make a good hedge for me. pure scent when you walk past…………………………….brian
As soon as you spoke about sweet cicely my ears pricked up, paused the video and went googling (hence why i spelled it right lol)… watched a video from edible acres who talk about it’s uses in quite some detail and now i’m super excited to get some growing for next year. You’re a regular source of inspiration.
Great video Liz. I’m in the process of creating a large perennial herb bed. I just bought a sweet cicely plant to use with rhubarb, it’s doubled in size in a week! My favourite is chives, tasty and pretty 🌺
Bumbles show your greenhouse is a good gardening area.
Beetastic directions. Do you use any heat mats hot beds for early seeds?
Hello from New Orleans Louisiana…my wife and I started watching your videos last year…we really enjoying watching them…we have learned lots from you…we will keep following and thumbs upping your videos. keep up the good work because you are really appreciated. 😁😁👍😎👍😎😁😁
Love rosemary, mint and thyme
Great video I like mint coriander parsley thyme rosemary dill and basil 🐝
Upstaged by the wildlife Liz. Your music could have been Flight of the Bumble Bee 🐝
I have a few favourites.. Rosemary, great with almost anything cooked, Mint with new potatoes and lots of other things, Tarragon with fish and chicken… where do you stop, corriander, parsley, basil.. the list goes on.
I just started in the world of herbs and I am hooked! I’d love to focus in on an herbal tea garden this year. I just gave up coffee and have been drinking A LOT of tea. 🙂 Great video! Thanks for sharing!
1:19 what a lovely big bush you have Liz, I’m sure your empty space will get filled.
I know how eat bay trees are, I say tree because it was bigger than my house and as it was so close to the house I had to dig it out might try to put a small one back in a large pot 😂
Genovese basil is my favorite-perfect salad addition and beautiful plant. Least favorite-anything anise flavored! LOL…sorry Liz
I loved the lesson on bumble-bee herding. 🙂
I was taught to chew the fresh green seeds of sweet cicely for a sweet aniseedy treat. I bring them back from my allotment for my kids to share.
Nice work with the bee Liz! My favourite herbs – wild thyme (for making broth, chicken dishes, roast veg), rosemary (roast veg), dill (pickles), parsley (for lots of things), leaf celery (soups & stews). I have grown sweet cicely in the past but found it very invasive. Too cold here for bay and I treat rosemary as a summer crop and then dry or freeze it in the autumn.
LOL, i got stung by 7 bumble bees, by trying to destroy an old shed
Great information 👍
Nice video 👍
I have never heard of Sweet Sysily.
Did you know that the Banana plant is also a Perennial Herb???
I subscribed to your channel 👍
I am looking forward to seeing you again 👍
Hi Liz i dont know which is my fav because i have never had any herbs at all in my life
Would you have any tips how to grow a huge mint bush Liz? I’ve always wanted one, and my Mum tried several times to pot me mint, but I don’t know they always seem to die in my care. I have one growing now in memory of her, and it hasn’t died yet, but it’s only small still. I must be doing something wrong…. Would really appreciate any tips and advice you might have 🌿🍃
What about the Old Sage then?
Ment is my favorite followed by chives, sage, dill and comfrey! Right now the are are under two feet of ❄️ snow.
Bronze fennel makes a delicious tea
I have never heard of that last one.
My favourite herbs would probably be peppermint which I use daily for tea, parsley because it’s used in so many dishes & lavender because I just love it. Had not heard of sweet cicely so looked it up & it’s available from a couple of seed companies that I purchase from. One says to sow in seed tray & leave it in the fridge for a few weeks. I’ll have to try some.
What’s grit? Small stone?
Wow, that’s amazing. What a coincidence. I was wanting to grow Sweet Cicely this year, but I didn’t get around to getting the seeds, Hehe, if you have any spare seeds, send them to me 🙂
Great video Liz, enjoyed your chasing the bird out of the greenhouse. My favorite herbs and basil, rosemary, thyme and oregano. I have large plants of each.
5 great herbs Liz !! i tend to like growing the herbs for the classic Bouquet Garni !! 3 sprigs of parsley, 2 sprigs of thyme, and a bay leaf.
I like them all Liz hard to say which i like the most it’s snowing again here this morning
Looking good! I need to get a herb bed established this year!
Great Herbs Liz. I have a load sown and some already here ready for a new herb bed I am building
Wow I had no idea bay could grow in the soil in a colder climate, else I’d have planted it in my garden long ago! Do you leave it outside during winter, or how do you care for it in the cold months?
Nice video and selection of herbs.
🌿😁🌞
Lol. Just let the bumble bee.lol
Bay is great (2-3 leaves per gallon container top & bottom) in flours & grains to help repel weevils and other buggies.
I love bronze fennel too! I have to try to overwinter rosemary inside as our winters are too cold in zone 5. There are 6 in my window now. Could I substitute bronze fennel for French tarragon I’m cooking?
Which are your favourite herbs and why?
