    These garden covers are gorgeous! You could set up a business in making them. If you're ever in Melbourne, I'll pay you to make some for me! You've also inspired me to learn how to start making things like this. Loved this video.

      Thanks so much Christie! I have thought about making them to sell as they are so good for protecting the veggies! If I ever do I’ll let you know! So glad to hear you are inspired to start making things for yourself! It’s such a sense of achievement once it’s completed! Thanks for watching! 🙂

      Yay! I’m so glad you are motivated to try again. I know what it’s like when you put in all that work to grow something only for the pests to destroy it! Just make sure you cover the cabbage so the moths don’t eat them! They are out in force at the moment! ☺️🥬🥦🌽🥔🍅

    Bringing the country to the city. Brilliant. It needs passion, creativity, hard work & the pioneering spirit. The result is worthwhile & the joy that comes with it is invaluable! The satisfaction that comes with the joy is something money cannot buy. Furthermore, it keeps both of you young & be grateful & thankful both of you share the same passion.

    I love your garden and have just subscribed to keep watching it grow. I’m on the Gold Coast so dealing with the exact same conditions as far as heat and critters. I started my garden in 2020 with just 1 bed made by using some tin found on our block and I was hooked! I now have over 30 beds, most of which have come very cheaply from gumtree and marketplace. This was a great video! All the best 😊

    Fantastic journal of what you have done together. The garden beds look great and I like the tops you have put on them to protect from the possums and other critters. I might have to follow your example for the tops. Is it flyscreen or insect mesh you put over your cover frames? It always makes you feel good when your homegrown veggies are thriving epecially in Spring/summer here in Victoria.
