@@tanyaburford8699 Hi Tanya, it's good to see more people in Melbourne growing challenging edibles. Unfortunately I only have enough seedlings for us to eat and none left to spare. There are seeds sold on Ebay and actual plants sold on gumtree and marketplace. Sorry that I could not help you. Cheers

@@Evelynmay88 hi there, greetings from Melbourne, Australia

@@Evelynmay88 thank you very much 😀

Hi there. When you grow the tropical trees in Melbourne you just need to protect them when they are young and once they become bigger they can usually handle Melbourne weather

@@Evelynmay88 hello, I started growing Dragon Fruit after tasting some in Cambodia and then I wanted to try different varieties instead of just the standard varieties 👍

@@PeterEntwistle thanks Peter. Yes they go great with seafood. I will try them on other things too. 👍

@@SunshineGarden-9B thank you 👍

@@rafaelheleno8136 yes I believe it is the same. From what I have read online, isis gold and aussie gold are the same

@@turoidownunder8410 hi Tu, there are only lots of boats on the very perfect weather days. I have never seen such thick fog as it was on that day, it was incredible

@@SiddKundu yes it is from bunnings mate and I put it down for the exact same reason as you. The blackbird mess problem. Its in tge garden section at bunnings and it works well

​@@dougs_urbanfarm 😉, thank you Doug! We are a coastal nation and there is so much abundance in our waters and our forests. Especially with hunting, we actually help the environment while saving money and getting healthy at the same time

@@eox7036 no worries mate 👍

@@matthewspatch9529 G'day Matt! Yes those limes will definitely replace vinegar for me going forward. The google reviews were right about the seafood going well with them mate!

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits G'day mate, yes if you like seafood it is worth having one of these I reckon, also a bit of a novelty for guests. Pike are a very underrated eating fish and cutting them into steaks is easier than filleting them. They have large bones so its easy to pull them out.

@@lyonheart84 G'day Brett, in Melbourne we are lucky to have quite a few large inland bays/inlets. Victoria is lesser known for its outdoor activities than other states but we do have excellent fishing opportunities here too. 👍

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus that's interesting about the leaves. My lime is in a very sheltered position so maybe they do not like too much wind.

@UrbanBounty I have them in a spot sheltered by glass fencing. I'm thinking exposure from above.

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 G'day Mark, the last elephant shark I caught was around the same time you sold your boat. I think they have better season around march and april. I only have a very small tinny now, much easier to maintain and handle.

The elephant shark I caught was more than 15 years ago. They were not a targeted fish, just a by-catch.

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder have you tasted lemonade before? I haven't had one lemonade yet but I think I'll get a few this year

@@UrbanBounty yes it’s ok not my favourite but pleasant. I’m hoping they improve in the future. I hope you enjoy yours in the future.

@@user-fk2fs5ls3m hello again, good question. It is facing north- west direction.

@@UrbanBounty thank you, what do u use to tie those branches up?

@@user-fk2fs5ls3m just soft cord from bunnings and some flat hessian ties, also from bunnings

@@user-fk2fs5ls3m hello there, I will be able to give you some cuttings from those when the plant starts to grow again later this year because I already pruned off the unwanted growth and composted it. My gmail should be listed under my channel description so in tge growing season send me an email and I can send you cuttings

@@UrbanBounty thank you

@@PlasBachGarden hello there. I wish you luck for next year. This apricot took several years to hold fruit for me

@@UrbanBounty Thanks so much! Happy gardening!

@@SouthTexasDragonFruit thank you very much mate 👍

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus G'day mate, ok I'll take a look tonight. Do you know which variety it is?

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus hello again, Could you please tell me the name of your video with the dragonfruit in it, I couldnt find one from Friday. Cheers

@UrbanBounty where I started going wrong is buying one labled 'assorted dragonfruit'. I saw it when using a birthday gift voucher and thought I would give it a go. But that means I don't even know the variety.

@UrbanBounty oh... I'm sorry you wasted time looking already. It is this upcoming Friday it will be ready on the channel.

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus haha, thats ok. After I re read I realised you meant this Friday. It gave me a chance to watch your day in the life vid. That is really great homesteading 👍👍

G'day, thanks for stopping by. I subscribed to your channel. Hopefully the cold mornings are gone for a while after Monday

@@UrbanBounty you’re welcome and thanks. Yea those very cold mornings had me a bit nervous but so far everything has pulled through

@@kebunbahagiabersama3351 hello and yes very cold. It got down to minus 2 here on Wednesday and I think it will be in minus again on the weekend. I covered the dragonfruit with beach umbrellas ☂️

@@iu-mienhfuntv5418 😃

@@PeterEntwistle Gday Peter, this variety also seems pretty hardy to the weather too, on the vine itself. Cheers

@@marksmtalent thanks mate, its a nice variety 👍

@@lyonheart84 hi Brett, yes it felt great to see such bright colour in tge garden at this time of year. There is a stubborn high pressure system above my state at the moment bringing great fishing weather as there is no wind to speak of but the next 5 nights get down to 0 or thereabouts at mine which will be the biggest test my garden has had thus far. I'm focusing on fishing until then lol

@@eox7036 it was nice, probably not ripe enough for complex flavours but it was a mellow and quite sweet. I expect it to have more flavours like berry when it ripens in summer

@@mogsta Gday, yes we get lots of frosts here. The forescast for this week is maximums of 12 and lows of 2. Most of these types of plants are ok in a local microclimate or once established they become hardy

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits Gday mate, it's a ripper. So far the most vigorous variety even though its yet to fruit is the lemonade. That thing is a growth machine

@UrbanBounty lemonade is the most vigorous citrus up here as well, it also has fruit all year round like limes and lemons

@@dougs_urbanfarm my brother further up the coast has had success with the citrus lemonade this year for the first time. I'm looking forward to trying it

Haha, only us wierdos! Wouldn't have it any other way, it brightened up an otherwise dull Sunday arvo 👍

Hello mate! Thanks and yes I would highly recommend the Tricia 👍

@@VirginiaFruitGrower yes G. The next week has maximums of 52f and minimums of 32f so I figured this is as ripe as it will get and it was still my fave dragonfruit thus far. There were sections within the fruit that may have even been sweeter. Cheers 😀

@@shopnascookroofvlog thank you 😃

G'day mate! Its a great variety, my fave so far despite it not being at it's best!

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp hello, no the "issai" variety is the one I have. It is self pollinating 👍

Thank you mate, are you growing other fruit trees too?

Hello there. In my opinion the best to plant is Melba because it has a long season, good sized fruit and it doesn't produce many runners. Cheers 😀

Thank you

Hi Paul. It is wonderful to see a big Murunga tree in Melbourne. You have done a wonderful Job. I am trying to grow one in a pot. If you can pl put a vedio how to take care of them in winter, and how frequently we have to water them. Thanks in advance

@@srishdhanu hello again 😀 I did a moringa video a few months ago on different ways that I am growing them as in bought in Advanced two year old seedling, from seed directly and a large cutting that was sent down from qld. The 3 young seedlings I have in pots are still putting out new growth but I am not doing anything special with them. They are under my carport, they only get mirning sun and I only give a small amount of water every 2 or 3 weeks during the cold season. I will do a video on them in late winter if they are still looking good 👍

Thank you very much for the update

Nice shape and planning! 👌

Gday there, I'm in southern Australia which is the colder part of Australia and I only water when its warm weather. The trick seems to be to copper spray it thoroughly 3 times over winter when its dormant to control leaf curl

Hello, great questions and I asked myself these questions too. As far as sunlight goes I wouldn't worry about fence height because it is so close to the plant you will always get overhead sun exposure. The main reason I built the fence was to block the wind so my 5ft fence serves that purpose very well and once the wind was blocked the trees were able to grow above fence height and once above fence height they were hardy against the wind. My spacing is tight but it has worked out well. Most plants are around 1.5m apart and pruning ensures they are ok with that. All prunings are returned to soil under the trees. Already we cannot eat all tge fruits at this current tree size so the spacing is ok and now we encourage vertical growth anyways. Cheers 😀

That makes sense, the wind last few weeks up here has been hectic, thought for sure some things would snap! I think I want to try do 1.5m-2m spacing too and try keep things under control..mostly to just fit all the potted stuff I have 😅 Thanks for the reply and insight

@@qpl88 anytime mate!

Yes the Persimmon had many fruits already eaten too

Thank you very much 😀

G'day Brett, thanks mate. You noticed the jabo growth! They are quiet achievers in the background but hopefully be the stars if the show ine day. Cheers Brett

Thanks Joe! In the video I mentioned I would give away the devil fig but now I will keep it st a smaller size and graft only 3 or 4 eggplants onto it and maybe a tomato. Cheers

@@UrbanBounty good idea to hold onto the devil fig my friend.

Thank you, 😀
