Mate that’s a great idea I was thinking of zip tying timber stakes to the star pickets and then continue the trellis. Might see if I can find some lying around

Thanks glyn. Glad you are enjoying the content 👍

Thanks for watching. I’m hoping to share enough content quickly so everyone can keep up with where I am in my patch in real time. My videos at this stage are a couple days delayed but will let people know what I am doing in advance

Thanks mate. Always learning from my gardening every year is an experience. I will let you know if something doesn’t work well for me 👍

Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Welcome to the channel 👍

Yeah I grow veggies all year round but I find the key is to plant the garden out in early autumn to take advantage of the warmth. I need to look up the trays you use. I am like you I prefer to transplant straight from the cell into the ground I do not like to pot on before planting out either

Yep small town Sydney 😀 it feels too cold to start working on the spring garden but keen to get an early start

@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 You gotta start thinking about those sweet potatoes and tomatoes mate!! LOL!!

I find in my house because it is heated that the seeds generally germinate without heat mats. If you have one use it but I haven’t spent the money on one yet

I’m grateful to have a good sized block that hasn’t been converted into a duplex site yet. Great way to spend an afternoon .

Thanks for watching. I hope I share enough information for you to follow on 👍

Yeah thanks for watching. Fruit flies are a fact of life and I don’t want to bet my patch so I grow and harvest early in the season and then do a second planting to get around the fruit fly. I might look at netting my capsciums this year to save the crop. I just don’t want to spend the money on fruit fly netting 😀

We don’t really get frosts here. Last year I got a real mild frost one day but the mango and avacado did ok. Might have has some slight leaf burn not much else. They do ok here as they are in a fairly sheltered spot in the patch.

Hey Keith, it really depends on whether you get fruit fly strike in your area. I would lose my whole crop to fruit flies by the time January comes so I need to plant early. If you are not netting them I would look at seeing if you can either get your main tomatoes planted out just before you leave so that they will start producing outside the fruit fly window. Cherries should be ok. Late November planting should push you into a Feb March harvest. I usually plant my second planting in early Jan and the crop isn’t great but it’s fruit fly free so I’m going to try planting in mid December this year to give them a little more time

@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 Thanks Anthony. Yes, fruit fly is a big issue as I'm not that far from you. Last year I had a lot of success by putting fruit bags on when the fruit started to form and planting companion plant of basil and French marigolds around the crop. I'm also planning a second crop for winter preserving. Thanks for your advice it's much appreciated and well worth considering. Cheers Mate

Hahaha thanks. Full time engineer so spending most of the weekend either harvesting or tending to the plants. The shorter days make it hard to work the patch during the week but the plants grow slower as well so they need less maintenance
