Thank you 👍

Thanks for watching appreciate the support 👍

Good stuff mate I need to do an update on my brassicas they are powering along at the moment as long as you look after them during the really hot weather. My next round of broccoli and cabbages have just germinated

thanks jacqui. gardening in late summer is the hardest time to grow anything

I enjoy gardening as it starts to cool down the soil is still warm and them plants still fire along but i dont need to deal with spider mites any more! :-) best of luck on your flower beds

thanks mate got a spot closer to the house which is shaded in the afternoon which would be perfect for herb. Going to be spending a couple weekends pulling out lawn now. Ill post a video on it as i am getting it done

Yea! A Sydney garden channel 🎉 Sorry to hear about the rats. Last year I grew mine in raised beds and no issues. Did not plant this year due to health issues and with the dry/rain/dry/rain would have split anyway. Very informative, thanks for taking the time to create these videos.

@@hardygardener3091 I wish I had planted cucumbers this year!! But I knew it would have been a wasted effort cause of the rats!! It's disappointing and frustrating sometimes!!

Yeha rats can be hard work. I found that having a yard cat really helps. My kitty catches alot of them and i also do a fair bit of baiting so i keep their numbers down

I have a video on it I use copper oxichloride to control mildew and I probably spray fortnightly. I use pyrethrum against thrips which I seem to have a real issue with in my patch

haha yeah the chickens dont know when to shut up though i find they add to the videos :-) We did have alot of wind in september which knocked off alot of the small fruit buds. Im going to make sure that i add the irrigation line around the base this year also

I hear ya! We left Dubbo for cooler Bega. I don't miss the exhausting heat one bit, but my poor folks are still there struggling to grow anything 😞

i have been watering alot and using alot of shade cloths over the young seedlings. Its hard work keeping them alive isnt it especially with the really hot and windy weather

I hopw so. Dad grew this from seed so i was worried it wouldnt have been a producer. it flowers well so i hope for something this year. Its almost 6 years old this tree

Hi pamela, i source my seeds from a number of sites. Most of my seeds are sourced from active vista seeds especially my tomatoes, cucumbers, brassicas, eggplant and zucchini www.activevista.com.au/category/seeds/vegetable/ I also use happy valley seeds and the seed collection for specific seeds especially if i am looking at buying in bulk, and i have used green harvest seeds in the past though they have since closed down www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au/collections/vegetable-seeds www.theseedcollection.com.au/vegetable

I do mulch but not in the traditional sense. I use closer planting spaces so that the plants shade the soil and also either add manure or i agitate the soil so that it acts as a natural much around the plants. I dont add mulch in the sense of adding sugar cane mulch etc as i find it impacts on my ability to water and add nutrients. Generally speaking i find i can control the weeds and add fertilisier easier this way.
