I really enjoy your videos John because they help me keep on track with what to plant. I'm in the southern highlands NSW and we have similar climates so it's always interesting as well as informative to see what you're doing on your homestead. I look forward to seeing what you do with your grapefruit tree.
Hey John! We are roaming around Tassie this week before heading home and starting our spring gardens next week! Great to see how many people have veggie gardens you can see just driving about the place! I think you are maybe North-west? We're north east at the moment and will be heading westish in the next couple of days.
Thanks for another great video. I really like your greenhouse. The galv pipe and timber frame makes it look really strong and a solid build. I'm looking to make my own greenhouse at some stage because at the moment all I have for a 'potting shed' is a little gap between two sheds about 700mm wide 😂 that has a laser lite roof. It's sufficient for starting some seeds in trays but that's about it. I've grown Cherokee purple before, they're a nice variety and I think you will enjoy them. I'm going to grow some more this year. Sorry about your grapefruit tree, I saw that the trunk is very bent over, I hope it's not too late to save it. Those storms were brutal weren't they? I'm over near Sheffield and we were without power for a while. So glad we have a wood heater. Your idea of starting seeds and putting them by the fire to germinate is brilliant but if I'm to do that I will need to put them on a shelf and use plastic covering and to supervise them as we have cats and dogs that will likely be a little too interested in them 😂😅 I've been watching for a while, since we moved to Tassie. We rented for a number of years in different areas but just managed to buy a little place in the country which we love. Very best luck with your growing season this year. Love the potato planting, Dutch creams? Always a favourite
Love your greenhouse. I am hoping to maybe get a small one in the next years or so. I need a good place to care for my plants when I start them. I try to get an early start but end up running out of space for all of my seedlings. It gets busy everywhere in my house hahahaha. I can’t wait to hear your take on the Cherokee Purple tomatoes. They are one of our favourite slicer type. Such a great flavour, they are wonderful on a sandwich or chopped up in a fresh salsa. I posted a tour of my garden in July and you can see how big and strong the tomatoes are. I’ve started to use cattle panels after watching your videos. As far as a sauce/paste tomato I planted pink fang this year and they are growing like mad and have a great flavour. Great video. Good to see your season underway as ours starts to come to a close…….
Amazing stuff as always. The soil under the tarp looks prime and ready to rumble haha! I know from previous videos you grow Dutch Cream Potatoes. They are very popular here in Vic and a solid pick in my opinion as they always have nice sized tubers when harvesting (I've seen your harvest vids also!). I personally grow Nicola as my main potato, but this year I'm trialing 4 other varieties which are; Tasmanian Bismark, Bintje, Russet Burbank, and Carlingford. It will be interesting to see how they all compare. Thanks for sharing and all the best with spring prep! Cheers.
What6the secret to growing roma tomatoes? Ive tried growing them but I only seem to get a few or none at all. I can grow other tomato plants just fine. Amendments? I plant in aged compost or previous year of aged cow manure. Also, that mosaic art leaning against the wall is beautiful!

Does the frost damage the potatoes planting August/September?
Generally not, by the time they clear the ground here the major frosts are over. But still a bit early in colder areas.
