What is the recipe for your combination for pickling! I saw that mason jar you showed and it looks great! Can you share what you made? I think I saw Jerusalem artichoke!, garlic, bay leaves, Rose Mary, peppercorns? It that what it is? I'm growing those too!
Hi I include a recipe for pickling sunchoke at the end of my video on sunchokes - th-cam.com/video/BnbSQkFNuus/w-d-xo.htmlsi=98BZ3JzQD4Sdk7j4 at the end 😊
I am keen to grow a bay tree, now you have inspired me. Thank you Robyn.
@@felicitycrichton6667 it will grow well in your temperate climate
Im going to try that tea!
Definitely worth a trial
Try the tea if you have a little joint pain - I found it surprisingly effective
Loved this. I was 18 when's I first ate an olive - ah the heady days of the 60s - and I thought it so horrible that I spat it out the window! Time has moved on and, fortunately, so have I. These days days I reckon too many olives are not enough.
Yes I ate my first olive in year 7 - we had an Italian food day and I was expecting sweet and got olive - I also spat out
Hello! I’ve just spent a pleasant hour or so watching you Chanel 🤩 love your approach👩🏼🌾 and I really love seeing yours and your Mums painting at the end of some of these videos 👩🏼🎨 keep going you’re doing great ❤
Hi Jennie thank you for the lovely words of encouragement 🙏
Yum. Black olives are delightful. Thanks for this informative video about olives. What's next in the garden???? 1:01
Thank you 🙏 - coming up next is my bay tree
Inspired to try this pepper ❤
Will try straw bale - very interesting ❤
Beautiful plant ❤
Very inspired to grow an apple arch ❤
Love espalier ❤
Looks great ❤
I love pumpkin flowers ❤
Delicious fruit - beautiful tree ❤
Love olives - love this
Great ideas
I had pomegranate juice today...happy to say, it was nice, (extricated from the seeds)...
Good for the stomach
Ohhh they sound terrific. I want to taste one...now!!! Great work Joyce, a delightful bonus in each video. Thanks again, Robyn.
Thank you
Yummmmm..... And Joyce's water colours are a delicious cream on a very rich cake.
Thank you - we do enjoy it 😀
Thankyou Robyn. Persimmon's are such a delicious fruit. You have inspired me to try growing one. Do you think they'd grow well in a half wine barrel?
Yes you need to start off with a decent size container - a 1/2 barrel would work. They are quite slow growing and so would last a long time in there - it would look pretty
What a harvest! Love the pumpkins in the cupboard clip
Thank you - I've made a huge dent in them since then
Such beautiful photography
Thank you 🙏
Maybe need to be a photographer to appreciate?...(the artworks at the end, are fairly amazing..thanks for sharing).
Your pumpkin looks so yummy ❤
Excellent video yet again Robyn. I would love to try one of these fruit. Great explanation and a nice touch to conclude with those delightful paintings. Thanks again. 😊
Thank you 🙏
hi i want to grow some calabaza pumpkin but the space i have is limited is it possible to grow the vine and cut it when it passes over 12ft before it starts flowering and remove the secondary vine and grow it with just the main vine, I'm from zone 13 I'm not worrying about the season just space issues
Hi I haven't grown calabaza but they seem like an interesting variety. Ideally, you should try to hold off pruning until you’ve got two to five established fruits growing. And maybe prune to keep these going. I reckon there is no harm though in experimenting- trying the way you described- if it works in your space you will know what to do next year.
Lady, you're scaring us... billy Madison.
I'm in Florida zone 9a and I have 16 pink guava/Mexican Cream guava trees
U ate the seeds with the shell… thats why its chewy 😭 P.s that shelf with all those pumpkins looks amazing
Thank you - yes I think the pumpkin seeds you buy are a specific variety - you can eat the shell but it is always a little bit chewy - I don't mind it though
@@Growyourowncoolclimate i always peel them lol
Great video. I love the watercolor painting. My question is can the feijoa be grown in the pacific northwest region of the U.S.?
Thank you - yes I think you can grow them in your region - they like a cool winter and would benefit from your mild moist summer. They are hardy so tolerate a range of conditions.
Well that was all new info for me. Now I have something else I need to track down. 😊😊 Brilliant!
They're worth tracking down 😀
Fabulous. I am a grower in the UK
I think it's onwards and upwards for fingerlime
I wanna grow starfruit and cherimoya from seed bcuz the plants go for over 100 in NZ so us normal people dont grow them at home and they dont sell them or theyre just too unfamiliar in stores so i wanna change that by growing some and sharing the seed around
Yes love these - the cherimoya tree (custard apple) and star fruit are lovely- my climate is way too cold for these two - go for it there is a whole world of under rated tropical fruit.
The unofficial national fruit of New Zealand 🇳🇿
Great video!
Feijoas were given away to new home buyers in Canberra (Australia) by the government for decades. they were a popular part of the plant give away because they were suited to our acidic clay soil. In my suburb there are some 50-60 year old trees still pumping out feijoas. It's a pity no one planted one at my place back then. The fruit is AMHAZING - And I only got to know it when I moved to Canberra. I don't know why these fruit trees aren't more popular and famous for gardens.
Why would you not just tilt the plant straight when you repotted it instead of trying to bend it straight with a log?
Just found this channel and I'm so glad I did! Thanks so much!
Thank you 🙏
I planted these and after eating them (not bad taste) I spent the next 24 hours farting loudly, uncontrollably, prolifically and very stinky. They were grubbed up and disposed of shortly after. The bloody things were everywhere!
lol - Their nickname is fartichoke- but you do get used to them as well - I think they add a lot of good microbes to the digestive system ... but your body has to get used to it.
I would have been divorced by the time I got used to them ……😂
Hmmmm.... didn't know how ignorant I was about Jerusalem artichokes. This makes me suspect that they're a cculinary delight. Must try.
It's really really good - sweet and savoury- just don't try it the day before an activity like sitting in a small office with others lol
Another lovely show Robyn. Thanks
Thank you
I live in Southern Ontario, Canada. I have had my Finger Lime for about 8 years and is doing well. It flowered 3 weeks ago yet had no stamen on the flowers. I don't get much die back so I chalked it up to the bush being to young? I now have new growth again. Keeping my fingers crossed. It will be going outside in the next couple of weeks. I paid about 125.00 for it back then and I was so happy to get one...Thanks for the video I loved it.
Thank you - they produce well in semi shade but lack of sunlight can be an issue one of my finger limes is in the full shade and it hasn't flowered. I am going to either move it or cut back everything around it next spring. All the best for yours I hope you get some fruit this year- also they can flower and produce a bit of fruit all year round
Any recommendations regarding fertilizer when growing finger lime in containers? I assume the fruits are seedless (?). I'm in south Florida and killed one last year. Purchased another last October and this one, a UF red variety is doing well with lots of new growth. It looks to be a grafted variety so don't know how long it will take to fruit. Thanks for this informative video.
Australian plants don't like excessive nitrogen and choose a fertiliser low in phosphorus. Blood and bone works well for most Australian natives. As soon as you see die back - the leaves dropping - I would look at the conditions.
@@Growyourowncoolclimate Wow! Glad I asked. The nitrogen part is totally the opposite of growing our citrus. We consider blood meal to be high in nitrogen and bone meal to be high in phosphorus. Thanks for the prompt response.
There are a few finger line varieties sold in Malaysia. Very expensive. As i'm still new to citrus growing, i haven't bought any yet but it is one i hope to plant one day
I think they would grow well in your climate - they seem to be expensive to buy outside of Australia but I am guessing they will come down in price in the coming years - they haven't been in cultivation all that long even in Australia
Hello! my dear friend, ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this interesting video. ❤ I enjoyed watching your video. ❤ 😊👍 May this beautiful afternoon fill your heart with boundless happiness and gives you new hopes to start yours with. May you have a lot of fun! Good afternoon! ❤ God bless you 🙏 Like 26
Thank you 🙏
Excellent! Now I need a gin.... but we only have supermarket limes not super fresh ones like yours....😕
Sunny window or balcony might be a good place for a pot 😊
Fresh coriander in a meal is a little bliss bomb.
At last.... Finally caught up with this on a big screen and it was worth the wait. Another cracker in fact, not least because I do love spinach. It can't, you might say, be beat...... 🤔😁 ... I'd best get out of your hair now.
Yum limes in gin!
Yes - and also try finger lime!!
