You are doing a fantastic job, look how far you’ve come yes learning and perfecting any skill takes time. Your not failing your learning ❤️🫂❤️🫂❤️ Love to you all God bless you all
Thanks for the inspiration! We cleared out the weeds from our little patch of dirt, and we now have a cute little veggie patch with tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini and strawberries. Our lil 2 year old Elijah also loves helping on our lil garden❤ and hopefully with all the love we put into it, it will grow
Hi Guys, Love you videos, we watch every week. We're fairly new to gardening ourselves. What we learnt just this week is perlite is not so great, it contains silicone dioxide. Try replacing it with small pumice stones, better for the plants & you. What an amazing attempt first time around. Happy gardening & God Bless 😊🙏 Michelle & Lenny
WOW!! Have only watched the video where you first bought your block of land!! Which was 5 months ago!! It has come along way!! Don't beat yourself up with regards too gardening!! I have been doing it for 20 years now...and I am no professional!! I still consider myself as a amateur when it comes too gardening!! My idea of gardening is this!! Plant as much as you possibly can...so you can get ANYTHING out of it!! Don't look at ppl on youtube with their great big picture perfect harvests!! Just start from the beginning and grow what YOU can grow!! With me its potatoes!! But I haven't been good at it lately!! I am trying other things like...tomatoes...cucumbers...capsicums and lemons!! Dwarf fruit trees in half wine barrels too save up on space!! Is also a good way too start!! Bunnings can be a bit of hit and miss when it comes too potting soil and seeds!! Try local nurseries and farmers markets to grow produce!! Farmers markets are great for capsicum seeds and growing garlic!! Anyways...just a bit of advice for amateurs like us!! Hope this helps!! Cheers from Adelaide - South Australia!!
I've just created my first vegie garden in raised beds. Everyone I've spoken to has advised mulching with pea or sugar can mulch to help retain moisture in the soil. From what I've seen you might not be giving your plants enough water and pots dry out quickly. Mulch and fertiliser with a soil wetter might help with this.
You are 100% not the worst homesteader in Australia LoL, that would be me. I have wanted desperately to food forest my 'urban homestead' AKA the front yard, for about 8 years. I've some fruit trees that are... alive. I have accidentally grown some onions from compost. I resonate so hard with wanting to be this person that I can see so clearly I almost feel like I know her... but I'm not her. I'm a technofile computer nerd who really WISHES they were outside and able to do outside things!
Good on you how about getting a worm farm to keep in the shade worm juice birilliant for feeding your plants …veggie need lots of food blood and bone, dynamic lifter, manure, charli carp or seaweed solution ..keep going its great fun ❤
Your son is the absolute cutest! You are doing such a good job and gardening is such a rewarding journey and you learn something new everyday! Good luck on your journey 🙌💚🍅
You’re doing great, don’t worry about your capsicum and egg plant they just need more consistent warmth. It will come. From what you’ve shown I think everything could do with a liquid feed with an organic seaweed solution on a fortnightly basis , vegetables are a hungry crop. Feed them and they’ll feed you. Keep up the good work and how’d you get so wise for such a young man?
Grow fast fruiting fruit and berry trees and vines like paw paw ,mulberry, pomegranate,blueberry, strawberry, grape vine and passion fruit vine.once you grow them, they fruit straight away in a yr or two tops.
Thank you for your message. I needed to hear it and its funny sometimes how what we need to hear gets delivered to us. 😊 Ive never seen your channel before but you definitely look like youre doing a great job at homesteading to me ! I love the idea of growing a variety of items so you get experience. Im still learning myself. Ive conquered growing moonflowers 2 years in a row so 🎉 im proud of that ! However ill admit the first time i grew tomato plants last year....i didnt cage them and they grew so fast it was all i could do to keep them upright . Lol it was too late to try to cage them. These suckers grew about 4 ft tall overnight! Oh well. Part of learning. As big as they were, they only produced one viable small tomato! 😂 i took it to show my mom and she ate the whole thing ! 😂 Any way your child is so adorable ❤ Much love to you and your family from me in Texas ❤
Hey hey!! Glad you found our page! HAHA sounds like you have been giving it a go though and thats the first step!!! Hopefully heaps of tomato's next time!! Appreciate the comment
The season is only really getting going, you just need to give them all a little longer to grow. It's much harder to keep smaller pots from drying out over the summer. Look into Wicking garden beds made from IBC 1000 litre containers. Your plants will do much better in them. And you will have them to take to your block.
Thank you for all the tips and info on starting a vegetable garden! Really appreciate it. I’m planning to start one very soon (this year for sure). Love watching your channel. ❤
I've found when transplanting plants its sometimes good to just very slightly loosen up the roots on the sides/bottom of the soil bulb so that the roots expand quicker in the new pot.
With that being said some plants don't like their roots disturbed when transplanting but its only a few plants I think. And with little seedlings I don't think you really loosen the roots when transplanting but with bigger ones like the tomatoes you did its probably best practice to loosen the roots just slightly. I could be wrong but that's what I was taught and do.
You don't even need pots,I'm doing an experiment (copying another vlog I follow) and planting things in cardboard boxes.Dont know if it will work but giving it a go.Also ate my first spuds today that I grew in a pot, yummy.Collecting some pallets to,to make a compost bin.Looking forward to you next post.
always worth experimenting and just starting with what you have! My main concern would be the cardboard would get wet and slowly fall apart, pots make them movable which is a necessity for me at the moment!! I reckon if you dont plan on moving it that will work fine though, good luck and I hope you grow lots!
@Homestead_OnTheRock_ it's very hard to find a youtuber that doesn't use Freemason hand signs, or logos. And your understanding of Yah Elohim was biblically correct. It was like breath of fresh air.
I found that trying to grow plants in black pots don’t really do that well, especially tomatoes. 🤷♀️ then again, I’m not a gardener but I had such better success planting in the grown. My patio tomatoes all dies, was told the roots get too hot. Again, not a know what I’m doing gardener. Good luck, I wish you lots of success. ❤
oh no I hope that doesn't happen but it kinda makes sense! When I am on my own property I will grow in the ground 100%, Just making do for now!! Hope you get lots of tomatoes this year!!
I was thinking well I am not going to plant anything at the moment because where I am is very hot and dry at the moment then I remembered that earlier today I had put some paw paw seeds in the garden near where one came up by itself. Hopefully one or more will germinate but if I didn’t put them in they wouldn’t.
awesome work, eggplant are a pain, might be that it wasn't consistently warm enough early on, they like it hot. chillis/capsicums are slow until their first few sets of leaves form then they take off, bit risky transplanting to such a big pot but don't keep it saturated and they should be alright. keep it up!
you are an inspiration seriously and seeing you pray and believe in God is deeply profound for me
Hey there!! I’m glad we could have a positive impact on your life, that’s our goal!!!
Thanks heaps for the comment and support ❤

Love all your pots! And well done for giving it all a go! Best lessons come from failing however I see alot of success in this video

From what I've seen you might not be giving your plants enough water and pots dry out quickly. Mulch and fertiliser with a soil wetter might help with this.
This is great! I agree. I get better and better at growing food and I am about 4 years in. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Im sure you have learnt A LOT in that time! keep it up
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ I have 🥰 Thanks 💜
I think you need a bit of fertiliser too, liquid seaweed for soil conditioning and liquid fish emulsion for plant nutrient

Your onions look fine, in fact they’re really big. 😊
It’s pretty hard to overwater plants in pots in full sun. They need a good watering every day 👍
Your son is the absolute cutest! You are doing such a good job and gardening is such a rewarding journey and you learn something new everyday! Good luck on your journey 🙌💚🍅
Thank you :)

Thanks I'll keep that in mind! I think I do need to up my feeding perhaps!
That’s where we are at we’re in a rental so all of our stuff is in pots and planter boxes
You are giving it a red hot go and that’s the best you can do. Gardening is all about failing and learning forever
Keep going you’re doing great 😊
Thanks Sue! One step at a time!
Friends with the bees hehe😂. Leave the onions a bit longer I believe they have to fall down before they are ready I might be wrong
New mates of mine haha I think you're right...well im waiting for that to happen anyway haha
Great video thanks. Exactly what some of us need to hear don't waste time. "Start today to become the person you want to be in the future".
Thanks!!! Yep we have to start now!

@@cyq3255 Makes a lot of sense! I think maybe I should have loosened them up a little....but hopefully they still do fine!
you grow root vegetables in straw with top soil, this allows no soil compression on the bulb allowing a much larger vegetables.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you!
Let's 'bee' friends haha 😄 you should make tshirts with that on it.
As always, love what you guys are doing. Bless you guys.
HAHA I love it!! I might steal that off you one day :) haha

Oh wow what a compliment haha!! thanks for the support

That's a great idea for the trellis Tom, thanks mate. Seeya Rob
Cheers Rob! I'll post again to show how they go
The fact you're trying is great! Keep going
Thanks! doing our best for now!
Just perfect timing on the tomatoes, roots are well developed but not root bound
Awesome!! thank you
Great job! I tend to loosen the soil / roots out of the pot before transplanting - might help. Good luck, I am sure your hard work will pay off 😊
Worm tea on everything after watering.
Gosh, I timed this to perfection.
@@sharontobin4322 haha glad you’re here to watch ☺️
Good luck with containers.

Thats right you just gotta give it a go, you never know! learn by failing :)
Plant fruit and native trees in your land, by the time you move in they will give you a good harvest

Thanks Mr Baggins! I think I made a few mistakes with the chili's and capsicums like you mentioned!
I started some more that hopefully do better!
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ good luck!
Great video ❤❤❤
Thanks Karen :)
If the roots are coming out the.bottom = time to up pot....
Sounds like a good simple rule!
