Autumn 2024 Garlic Planting & Garden Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Take a virtual garden tour with me around our Autumn Garden here in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria. I will share what has grown well and what hasn't. And what over Summer we got enough of to preserve.
I will then demonstrate how to plant garlic. And show how we store garlic from previous crops to become our garlic for this season's crop.
It’s all a learning experience. Your dahlias are beautiful, even if you can’t eat them! The figs look great too. I hope your garlic goes well. Thanks for sharing!
So true. We are most definitely always learning 😀
This was very interesting! I really like the height of your garden. I'm so sorry you haven't been well... you poor girl! Interesting watching you plant - and that Dahlia at the end was gorgeous!!
We must have been watching each others videos at the same time!!! 😁😁😁
So glad i found your channel 😊 there is so much i am learning from you especially as i live nearby 😁
Isn't it just a beautiful place to live.. albeit a bit cold atm!!! Thanks a bunch for your lovely comment. It is wonderful to hear they are proving helpful 💕
hi there Laura for hedges homestead love your Garden on a hill side
Thanks a bunch Laura. The slope was one of our challenges when we got here for gardening. But my goodness that comes with a beautiful view. Thanks for watching along 💕
Hopefully you wont take too long to be back to 100%. I planted in our very first major garlic crop at the end of March and it has gone gang busters and all emerged and looking very healthy. I planted ours around the peonies to see if the garlic would help suppress pest attack. Not sure if that is just wishful thinking though. Our dahlias in the flower patch are still holding on. Today I did my second market with our flowers. Sadly here the zucchini has all had to be pulled out just too much butterfly caterpillars, they’ve gone crazy in my spinach patch and Im at the point of deciding whether to just call it a bust on that and pull it out as well and start again in one of my covered beds. Our capsicums this year all very small, only big enough to pickle and stuff with feta cheese. Those plants have now all been trimmed back for the winter. This week will be the final planting of another 50 strawberry plants which will finalise this years planting of our strawberry farm, the other beds have been set to rest now and all of the runners have been transplanted into another new bed. Ive planted in our onions, beetroot, lettuce and radish, cabbage and broccoli and now we begin the biggest bulb planting we have ever undertaken for next Spring. Your dahlias look absolutely beautiful. We grew all of this years plants from seed and haven’t had much luck in getting these larger fuller blooms like you have which look absolutely gorgeous by the way. Keep getting better and I will keep looking out for more of your videos. Cheers Theresa x
Thanks a bunch Theresa 💗 Thanks for your share on how your garden is going. I love real garden sharing... on all the real ups and downs. For so many years, it was only mainstream TV home and garden shows, where everything is so staged and perfect. it's so good we have these options now to share how it really goes. Like the bugs getting spinach but gang buster garlic! 😀
Garden looks awesome, we are on the mid north coast of NSW and our Rosellas have been growing gangbusters, so much jam made. The passionfruit shells in the compost, have you ever made Passionfruit skin jam?
Thanks Leith 😀 I haven't tried passionfruit skin jam. I would love to know more.
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus Basically boil the skins and then scoop out the insides and make as jam using the normal method, I used the recipe from this youtube video ua-cam.com/video/lYbNdcWNteM/v-deo.html😋
great
Thankyou 😀
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus 🥰
We had a summer that wouldn’t end here in SW Sydney. I ended up pulling lots of stuff out earlier than I probably had to in expectation of starting winter crops 😬 Aldo had a lot of winter seedlings 🪦 as it was still too hot 😭
The seasons do like to keep us on our toes! Such a pity to lose the seedlings 😞
Hi, I’m in Melbourne, I have some spare elephant garlic still chilled in my fridge, I’m happy to send you some?
You are so sweet to offer 💕
I actually managed to get my hands on some through our local whole food store. And it is growing wonderfully 😀
@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus that’s great 😀 mine is just peeking thru now
Can I ask what variety of lemons and lime do you grow along the northern side of your house? We're over in central Victoria and I'm wanting to put in some lemon and limes that handle the cold.
It was a very long time ago. But from memory the lime was a Tahitian and I think the lemons are Lisbon.
Your garden is like ours in the Kinglake Ranges. Our corn did nothing, into the compost. Got a few spuds, tomatoes are now just starting to flower and fruit. Disappointing year overall.
That sounds so similar Wendy. Sometimes it's good to know we arent alone and how the weather has been an influence. I so hope we get better next year 🤞🤞🤞
