This Is My Plan Before Food Prices Rise Again | Summer UK Garden Tour

I’m building a winter pantry from my small UK garden, using summer abundance to prepare for rising food prices without panic buying cheap processed food. In this June garden audit, I’m looking at what we can grow, preserve, freeze, dehydrate, ferment, pickle and store for real food security this winter. This is the start of my Winter Wealth Pantry series: practical prepping for normal people, normal homes, small gardens and real budgets. Food prices are still a concern here in the UK, but instead of waiting until winter and relying on expensive supermarket food, I’m trying to use what we have now: homegrown tomatoes, squash, beetroot, brassicas, herbs, local produce, family-grown gluts, wild food and homemade preserves. In this video, I’m walking around the garden and looking honestly at what’s working, what’s failed, and what I need to plan better. We talk tomatoes for sauce, tomato powder, ketchup and soup; tiny but hopeful squash plants; beetroot experiments; brassica leaves for ferments and green powder; garlic failure; carrots; family food resilience; and how a small garden can still help build a better winter pantry. This isn’t scary prepping, bunker prepping, or panic buying. This is normal-house, real-food, small-space self-sufficiency — one jar, one freezer bag, one harvest and one seasonal win at a time.

Are you freezing berries, drying herbs, growing tomatoes, planning ferments, watching the blackberries, or preparing for the courgette avalanche?
