IMPORTANT: Not all passionfruit flowers and leaves are edible - the blue passionfruit flowers from the rootstock are not edible. Check you do not have a rootstock variety that has taken over! Watch this video next - ua-cam.com/video/DeF6beXiK4o/v-deo.html
I'm sorry for being so direct (and sorry for my english)...but I want to ask you something about passion fruits. I bought some Blue Passion Fruit seeds (I didn't knew what it was at first...I bought it at first just because it said "perennial" + "climber" on the back of the seed package)...and after I searched more about it I found out about the more eatable types and I bought 2 "good to eat" fruits from the market for seeds. Now I planted both types of seeds for germination... I was thinking in grafting the blue one with the "good to eat" one because I'm living in Europe Zone 6. So my question will be...in what Zone you live in. I was going to try and plant both (grafted and non-grafted) just to see... EDIT: *Perth* ?! As in Perth (Australia)?! Yeah...that's Zone 11a. Well...I'm still gonna try the non-grafted one...but there's no chance for it.
Thank you. You always get me excited about my garden plans, I've been planting bits and bobs in cans and milk boxes, anything really! Just doing it, instead of thinking about it.
Hi Holly! I am located in Perth and will be trimming my grape vine soon! You are welcome to have some cuttings! 💚 I have 2 varieties of green grapes.. which extends our season of eating 😊 Have successfully grown 2 cuttings from my daughter's favourite grapes! 🥰💚 will be doing more this year and hopefully sell. Also you are doing such an awesome job with your channel! I love the new episodes too 💜 Georgina x
@@SustainableHollyawesome ☺️ life has been pretty crazy this week! I'll add you on Instagram so I can private message you 😊 I'll have a different name but will send a pic of my face with my message hahah Hope you are enjoying the slightly cooler weather and hope you get some rain today 🥰 Georgina
I love your enthusiasm! Found your channel yesterday and have been devouring your videos and website articles. This is exactly the content I have been looking for. I just started my garden last year, and have been adding as many perennial veggies as possible. I just planted asparagus, and am over the moon watching their little spears come up. Your culinary talent is amazing! You are so creative. Thanks for the great content! I am in hot Northern California. Hope I can grow many of the plants you mention.
Another great informative video. Holly would you be able to do a video on your feijoa trees, when you prune it, how far down you go. What you feed it to keep it healthy. I have two trees for 1.5 years, so Im hoping I will get some feijoas next season, but I want to give myself the best chance to be successful. Any tips you can share is appreciated. I have planted lavender in between them, as you suggested so hopefully this will help for next season 💕
Absolutely i will put it on my list! I think we need a whole playlist for the s amount of people I have inspired to plant Feijoa 😅 I prune after they fruit so that is coming up in Autumn 🍂
@@SustainableHolly would be great to see a video, Im a kiwi too and have always want to have feijoas in my back yard... I want to maximise any tips you have to share so I can have the best chance for Fruit next season 🤞 the two trees I have are looking super healthy. I just water them a couple of days a week and give them some dynamic lifter a few times a year and that it.
That passionfruit wasnt over ripe. It was perfect and wouldve been sweet. Just to note, the sweet potato plant can grow vertically but the potato is a root crop so dont expect them to be growing on the vine.
I was very surprised to see the chayotes I purchased at a local Mexican market (left on counter but didn’t try yet) growing very long sprouting vines & even roots! I will plant them for a needed thick chicken forest (only baby trees) shade this week. In wildfire Northern California I have only heard the Spanish pronunciation [shy ‘oh tay]. I won’t expect their fruit till autumn (September? October?), so for low carb/ketogenic apple turnovers or pie, I guess I need to buy more!
I love growing sweet potatoes for both crops both the leaves and the root , mine were just starting to grow really well and we got a huge hail storm and it destroyed everything all my apples everything shredded 😢 but the sweet potatoes are starting to come back unfortunately I won’t get the leaf harvest I want as I dry them and use them all through the colder months in soups and stews and I’m very unhappy that I don’t think I’ll get enough 😢if any.
Hello from windy Wellington. I've got grapes, passion fruit, nasturtiums and runner beans. Few more on your list I need to try. Which ones are most wind tolerant? I have a 1.5 chain link fence I'd like to utilize but it's a very windy exposed spot. The passion fruit died in that spot even with protection. I thought nasturtiums but I don't want anything invasive as it borders my neighbours. Property. Any idea what climbers would suit a 1.5m windy spot in full sun?
Planting of store-bought fruits/seeds/nuts: In the USA and many other countries, imported fruits & veggies are irradiated upon arrival (which kills the seeds.) Thus, we can only plant seeds that are local or grown in the USA. (Ditto in Mexico.) Not sure about Canada and other countries?
i would love to plant kumera as a ground cover, do you have problems with them bringing mice in and eating them, just wondering if they bring in pests ? I love sweet potato but this has been in the back of my mind thought I would ask.
Rats can find them..but I’ve had more problems with rats eating zucchini and pumpkins (and fruit!!). when they are getting close to being ready (Autumn ish) they work their way close to the surface. Some even start to poke out of the ground. Then they are a lot more vulnerable to pests.
@@SustainableHolly I haven't had this problem with my Zucs or pumpkin yet they are growing nicely. I might give the sweet potato a try then . I have a lot of space between my fruit trees.

Climbers are my current obsession because it means I can grow more in the same space! 💃🍇🌿 What list should we do next?? Berries, Root crops, Guavas 🤔
Id like to see Berries, climbing and propargating them as well
I would like know more about berries,fertilizing ,pruning...
I’ve watched your grafting class a couple times but I’d like to see a video when you graft your trees. ❤ you have a world of knowledge
Chokos tender shoot and young leaves are edible. So are those of pumpkins. I am from Mauritius and they are part of the Mauritian cuisine.
Thanks for sharing your video..your new friend Boy Dahon watching from Philippines..stay healthy and take care always..
I love stuffed grape leaves. ❤
Thank you. You always get me excited about my garden plans, I've been planting bits and bobs in cans and milk boxes, anything really! Just doing it, instead of thinking about it.
