Your videos are unreal. I have learnt so much more from your videos than I have from watching other videos on the internet.

Hi Anthony, that ginger looked great. You got me hooked. I gonna give it a try. Also loved the real good explanation of your succession planting. Looking forward to the next video on how you start your ginger. Well done mate.

Thanks keith. Ginger is a great thing to grow saves paying $30/kg for it😀 I will do my cuttings this weekend and post a video on it 👍

I leave my ginger in the ground year-round. They naturally die off in winter with the cold we get in Sydney, then bounce back when ground temps improve in spring. Have never experienced issues with rot as I'm growing in a slightly elevated bed (~300mm) with well draining mix. I grow two clumps and harvest on alternating years. I find this gives a much better yield in a smaller space as you only disturb the rhizome biennially.

Yeah I had some sprout 2 seasons ago in the ground and I think having the irrigation on them added too much water. Growing in pots works at the moment but would be keen on putting a whole bed to ginger

I love to see how you succession plant Anthony I haven't tried it before, unfortunately I don't have the amount of space you have but I will give it a go anyway. Your ginger looks great,, considering the pots aren't big you did really well.

Thanks yeah this year it’s going to be one cutting per pot and I’m thinking of using styrofoam boxes as well.

Styrofoam boxes sound like a good idea I would be really interested to see the results. Jacqui

I have had the same issue with commercial seed startin mix. Awful stuff. I make my own seed starting mix. Three parts coconut coir, 2 parts home made compost (sived) and one part coarse sand ( must be coarse) i get extremly good results with it. Very healthy seed starts.

Its interesting you are starting cauliflower seedlings in June. My prefered online seed vendor (seed collection) shows April as the latest time to start seedlings for Sydney (temperate zone) I checked Activevista (where you get your seeds from) and their advice is you can set out seedlings from March to August for a winter crop. Lots of good info on that site.

I planted them last year at this time and I harvested decent heads but we will see in a few months if I pushed my luck. I will tag you in my results 😀

i've been using commercial/pro mikskaar seed starting mix that i buy online as a bale. going to try something different, a seed starting mix recipe by australian national botanical gardens. it's 2:1 vermiculite and sand. i started broadbeans much earlier, directly in ground. starting to flower. my first try at ginger was miserable, leaves failed to unfurl and were stuck in a cascade. apparently not enough humidity. i also do a late planting of carrots, and they take ages but i get some carrots ready early spring. off to the side patch, not main veggie plot. thanks for vid

I’m going to look up your seed raising mix. The one I was using was really good but they recently changed the mix and it has more bark in it than I would like. Yeah I was talking to my dad about my broadbeans. Need to plant them out in March. And I need to get new seeds this time. Was going to plant carrots but again left it too late

Awesome thanks Anthony. Will you take those seedlings in at night? I’m looking forward to your ginger planting tips. Cheers Nicole

Generally I would do especially the summer seedlings but the caulies and broccoli can stay outside after they germinate. I will move them in and out especially if it’s going to be really windy or rainy

Love the content Anthony you really love your Brassicas, but I noticed you don't grow carrots 🥕 they are the first thing I plant. Regards Chris.

I have grown carrots in the past but haven’t lately. I find that they get quite woody in my patch I will see if I can do a early spring planting

Love your succession gardening. My ginger did really well this year - giant chunks of it, some of which I've frozen (need to skin and freeze some more). I'm not doing as well in the brassica front - my brassica game is not the best. But come November and December, I will have some marvelous fruit! (I note you have a mango - how do you plan to feed it this year?

Thanks for watching. I plant on adding fertilisier to my mango this month. I’m still trialing different fertilisier mixes and rates but looking at adding a handful of potash a little dolomite lime a good heap of chicken manure pellets and then mulch with half bag of cow manure. I will be doing it this weekend before it starts to flower

Hi Anthony. I am at sydney as well. Will you mind sharing your soil composition ( Refer to spring graden prep vid) and how are your plants dealing with rain now.

Hi the soil in my main patch was essentially lawn that the previous owner had put down weed mat and spread a lot of top soil and then laid grass. When I started the patch I removed the grass and the weed mat and then added 2 tonnes of mushroom compost to the bed to add organic material to the top soil. I have been planting in this bed over the last 6 years and before every planting I have added a couple bags of cow manure to the soil and over time it slowly builds up. Over the past year I have been looking at saving money in my patch so I have been collecting free horse manure and composting it will garden waste and my chicken run waste. I will put close to 2 cubic metres of compost over my bed a year so it is doing well. I also strategically fertilise my plants throughout the season and I am trying to fine tune that. With the rain it’s been a struggle eapecially with the slugs. I am starting to see some powdery mildew on my broccoli which I have never seen before. The cold and wet does make your plants struggle especially the winter greens but you need to make sure you have planted your winter crops in March April so they have time to grow big before the cold sets
