The BEST way to get free plants - especially rare, adapted, and unique varieties!
Come hang out in the garden with me today while I share the wonderful plants I managed to get at one of my local harvest swaps!
I'll talk about the varieties I got, and show you where they're going in my garden (and why).
If you're not already attending your local harvest or crop swap groups, I urge you to give it a go - you'll not only get to share and receive plants, seeds, seedlings, flowers, produce and more - you'll get to know some of the wonderful gardeners in your local community!
And best of all: it costs nothing but time. Time that is well spent, in my opinion!
This particular swap was the Glass House Mountains Home Harvest Swap Community: groups/841976164389161
And the bulk of the seedlings in this one were from Farmer Phil: profile.php?id=61556768896799
My garden is located in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, which is the Australian subtropics (USA zone 10b).
Welcome to Plantifying - where I share my journey to turn our 1.5 acre property into a productive & beautiful home garden, and to eat more of what we grow ourselves.
I talk about growing food, flowers, Australian natives, & indoor plants, as well as sharing other homesteading content.
Thanks for watching,

It's my first full year growing a polyculture vegetable garden (mixing food, flowers, and herbs) and I've made a few big (sometimes literally!) mistakes this year in my garden. Today I'm sharing them with you so you can avoid making these same mistakes. My garden is located in the foothills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, which is the Australian subtropics (USA zone 10b).

MASSIVE Hailstorm - Did it destroy my garden?

On Halloween, we had a massive hailstorm, the likes of which I've never seen before!

Today I'm sharing what I've harvested from my mid-spring garden here in the Australian subtropics - the Sunshine Coast Hinterland foothills. We've had a glut of tomatoes, the zucchini are fruiting, there's spinaches for days, we've pulled up some leeks - and I've FINALLY gotten some of my nemesis plant to fruit! I'll also share how I harvest, dry, and store one of my favourite cocktail garnishe...

Today I'm sharing one of my current favourite plants - Warrigal Greens! It's native to Australia, New Zealand, and a few other Pacific countries, and is a prolific and low effort food plant - and it's perfect in permaculture, polyculture, the veg patch, and even as an ornamental ground cover! Such a versatile, hardy plant - you should give it a try. My garden is located in the Australian subtro...

Hi. I loved seeing your subtropical garden-it's so different to ours in Auckland NZ and exotic to grow tomatoes in winter! Pepino plants need constant pruning here, or they'd take over. An advantage is how easily pepino cuttings grow and people love to get them in plant swaps. I like them chilled and served with icecream! Chilling brings out the delicate melon flavour.🍈
Oh I just found this! Thank you for answering my question already!!
☺️
What do you do with warrigal greens? It grows like a weed through my pavers but I’m not sold on it raw. I’m in Perth and I’m jealous of your early season and your heat!
Oh I love Perth! Welcome :)
Permaculture Haven. She trains her Pepino to grow over a trellis. It doesn’t climb but she ties it up and let’s it work with the passion fruit vine for support
That's a grand idea, thank you!
Yes I’d love to follow your zucchini growing experiment. I’ve never grown them vertically. Here in south east gold. Past. Powdery mildew is the thing that affects mine the most. Interested if vertical growing helps 🪲
Yes, I'm getting lots of PM showing up now after all this rain over the last few weeks - summer is definitely here!
hello from Northern nsw... i just invested in fruit bags to stop the fruit fly and cat worms... from attacking my tomatoes and capcicums and eggplants... after 3 years of loosing all the produce to the damn things and the expense... wow... they are so cheap on amazon and come in all sizes.. i use the green gauze ones with pull ties each side.. they work better to get close the stems ... put them on green fruit as it appears on the vegetables... i have noticed this year that the cabbage butterflies are attacking everything that they didn't last year... really weird. its like a frenzy all over the place.... enjoying watching someone in australia.. that talks about what they are doing in the veg patch and problems.. and how to tackle it...
I bought a bunch of big fruit fly exclusion bags for the whole plant with a zipper up the side for easy harvesting
I want to try those!
It's a never-ending battle against all the things that want to destroy or eat our plants, for sure! I have some of those small exclusion bags, but I seriously need to invest in more soon!
I am also in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Last season, I only had seven Washington Navel oranges coming on, and so, (having lost the previous year's crop to pesky possums - that is, once they had stripped the peel from my Meyer Lemons left hanging on the tree!!!) - I bought a swag of those strong weave, green gauze bags with drawstrings, from EBay. The sales blurb indicated they would protect from small animals, which seemed promising to me. Of course, as everyone knows, things grow bigger and better in the Qld subtropics, including the little Booroobin possums - they just tore my bags apart. Final score : Possums 5 / Me 2. And in earlier years, I had to dissuade the "stink bugs" from chewing all the blossoms from my citrus!! It's never-ending, eh!!! ..... sigh ..... RjB 😅
Excellent. Good stuff 😊😊😊
I'm glad you liked it! 😊
New subscriber from South east Gold Coast. Lovely garden. Lovely video. I’ve had amazing success with growing winged beans and snake beans. Both heat loving and very prolific. They just weren’t out favourite veg. Unfortunately. I still have seeds and would grow the, if we needed to. But given the choice I choose other veg. Good luck with them I hope you love them. Winged beans took a while to get going. But then they were irrepressible 😬 looking forward to your next video 🌻
I'd love to know what you grow over summer that you enjoy eating!
Sweet Potato 🍠 harvest yay 🙌 Enjoy 🙏
Thank you, I will
Your garden is beautiful. Just found your channel and subscribed to it. Greetings Heidi 👩🌾💕
Welcome, and thanks for subbing!
😮 good
😮 very nice
I'm growing anything what I want even if it is not in season.. I just wait it to grow no matter what struggle may come, good or not good harvest.. but still longed for good harvest my friend.. watching from glecious tv.. nice to see plantita like you.. good job
It's so much fun growing whatever you want! I hope you get a good harvest! 🙏
You have a variety of spinach that I have never heard of before. I will definately look them up and see if I can get them here in South Africa. You have a lovely garden indeed! You have put in a lot of hard work. Very inspiring indeed!
Thanks! It's definitely a labour of love, but I find it rewarding!
Thank you for sharing your garden with us. Beautiful! Your garden hat is lovely if you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase it?😊
Thanks! Which hat did you like? I think I have a few on in this video. The big wide brim one I bought at a department store (maybe Big W?) and the wrap-around that I wear with a bun I got at a chemist.
Hi I’m from port Macquarie NSW the season here is all over the place so my veg is not performing how it should I haven’t been here In this home long though so the soil needs a bit of love , great video thanks for sharing yours Karen
Good luck figuring out your new climate, Karen! Thanks for watching :)
You have a very nice garden set up!! Good luck with the heat!! We are already hitting the 37 degree mark here in Adelaide!! Cheers!!
Thanks! Oof, 37 already? We've got a weird cold snap right now, but I'm enjoying the last hurrah before the hot weather really kicks in.
Of course!! I’ve just realised the ‘mystery bug plague’ I’ve been scratching my head over that ate through all the leaves on my nasturtiums and new growth on my espaliered apple trees overnight, was the giant big hailstorm we had weeks back in Southern Tas. Of course! I feel silly 😆
😆
There’s lots growing across the road from us on council land (Southern Tasmania, coastal) We don’t eat it because I don’t know if the soil (well if you can call it soil it’s basically sand) levels are safe enough for leafy greens. But I plan to propagate for our soon to be garden for wildlife/edible natives garden in our front yard.
Yes, perfect!
In my experience the fennel thing is vastly overstated over stated
That is good to hear!
This is something I have experienced myself and believe me,it really worked . Whenever you're out in your Garden, ALWAYS be totally barefoot because our soles love and deserve that freedom. They love to feel various textures of soil between their toes. Apart from n it's very healthy to be barefoot outside. Take for example two plants, one grown inside a pot and tge other grown in Nature. However much you water and use fertilizer, it never looks as healthy as the latter. This is simply because the roots have a limited space to stread and the Nurishment too is the same. The soles of our feet are like the roots of a tree.When you're not barefoot that natural process is obstructed. Our soles are designs to absorb things which are essential to lead a healthy lifestyle. However, use of footwear deprives this process. Apaurt from that there are a large number of Sensors / Nerve endings on the soles of our feet, which connects from head to toe. When we walk on Sand, Gravel and Tiny Stones /Pebbles,our entire body gets stimulated through these sensors. Once again Footwear deprives this natural process. So, go barefoot always for good health and happy feet and soles.
Alas, I have a minor disability that means I need to wear shoes - plus in Australia I like to avoid stepping on spiders & snakes 😄 Love to go barefoot on the beach though!
@superH3108 thanks for sharing the advantages of going barefoot when out and about in the garden. I live in an area that has waay too many venemous snakes so sadly we always have to be extra careful.
Had problems with lots of rain and squash. Would just rot and drop off. Currently have eggplant,cherry tomato, comphrey , sweet potato, bay leaf,lemon myrtle, babaco, citrus, banana, lemon grass, finger lime, strawberry, fejoa , native plum, apple ..fraser island...and apricot. Moving, avocado...looking a bit sad for some reason and a few different berries. Love your video. Many more please. I live in North brisbane
That's a great mix of plants! I'll have to look up babaco - haven't tried that one. Thanks for watching!
If the capsicum is from the supermarket it will probably revert to type and won't be the same. Hope it does though. Let us know
You are right, they often revert, but I'll definitely let you know how it goes!
My husband won't let me have a water feature or water plants as he hates mozzie. Any advice
I keep the water fresh, that seems to help. You can also put Pacific Blue-eye fish in there to eat the larvae little native fish).
the weedy garden does a vid on comfrey its great info... i have it planted around the garden the bees love it.. and the seeds spread well..
I'll check it out, thanks!
Snake beans are such solid producers. It's so effortless for them, great plant. Was that a coconut I saw? Do you use them? Do you know which variety it is? Do the rats get them? I found some beside the road yesterday and grabbed a couple but they were a bit mongy. The rats seemed to eat all the good ones. They're charging like $140 for 2 plants on ebay lol.
We have palms, but no coconut ones, unfortunately.
the cat palace could you provide some info please on price/ buy / in australia many thanks.
We bought ours from here! Note - you will have to paint it with sealant yourself. www.somerzby.com.au/cat-enclosures/somerzby-cat-enclosures/
just wondering how you are fighting the dredded fruit fly and white cabbage butterfly damage black beetle damage etc...
The polyculture and companion planting helps. I also bag things against fruit fly if necessary.
Hello friends...so beautiful you garden and your flower very beautiful, i like that, my name is Yuni from Indonesian enjoy with you video ❤❤
Thanks for watching, Yuni! 😊
Welcome Plantifyers! What are you growing in your garden this November?
@@plantifyingau have just planted American ground nuts for the first time
Wow. What a wonderful garden 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Loving your channel! I'm in the burbs just south of Brisbane, and like you, it's my first year growing also. I really appreciate finding gardeners who are relatively local. Hey would love the link to a pickle recipe 😊
Lovely to hear from a local! Hope your first year is going well! Here's the pickle recipe we use (though we don't usually add the optional extras): homesteadandchill.com/crunchy-refrigerator-pickles-recipe/
😊😊😊
Wow. It’s all looking fantastic. Well done. Nothing better than home grown vegetables 😊
Right? And thank you!
Man I would live to be subtropical. Can you grow dragon fruit?
I am! I actually show my dragonfruit trellis here: th-cam.com/video/GsqltQxG3Iw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=P3kPWVGGkpodMr79&t=134
You did an amazing job! The garden is beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Love the netted vege plot, I am nearly at the point where I do something similar for ours; muscovy ducks, scrub turkeys, orange-footed scrubfowl are just ripping through everything! How do you reckon the bamboo will last? I have a massive bamboo stand but not sure about longevity is all. I love that you have the perennial spinaches! Subscribed :)
Welcome, and thanks for the sub! We think this untreated bamboo will last 2-3 years maybe? It's not in the ground, so that will help. I do plan on doing a detailed video about how we built it soon, as well as our plans for Bamboo House 2.0, which will use treated bamboo so it will last longer (and how we're going to treat it).
@plantifyingau ohhhhh you're treating it yourself? I would be very interested in that! I use mine all over the garden, leaves too for mulch, but have never treated it so might need to look into it. Thanks 😊
Up Bundaberg way.. cherry tomatoes grow crazy here. I harvest and freeze a ziplock bag full every day and freeze them whole. When i have enough i make spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce. Its a bit paler than the store bought jars but much tastier.
I like to do this, too! I chuck a bunch in the oven and roast them with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs, then whiz it all up. Delish!
So many interesting things in your garden. I'm down the road, Gold Coast.
Oh, so great to hear from a local, will head over and give your channel a follow!
@ 🙏
I love getting your real world tips. I could listen to you for hours while I care for my plants (with the odd dash back to the computer to see what you are talking about). :)
Oh, that's so lovely of you to say! Well, there will be plenty more videos heading your way - I hope you enjoy them, too!
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Your garden is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.
Thank you for visiting, and subscribing!
Looks great 😊😊😊
Thank you!
Hi Jess, I live in the temperate zone NSW. I've grown zucchini for a lot of years but this summer will be my 1st time trying the vertical growing. They aren't big enough yet. Yes please I'd like for you to show how you grow yours vertical. My mother grew Papino once and it spread alot also.
Oh, I hope it goes well for you!
@plantifyingau thank you
I'm enjoying watching your vlogs which I've only just found. I have a few raised beds as I'm only on tank water also. I'm glad your veggies and fruit didn't get destroyed. Hopefully they will all bounce back. Poor Mango.
Thanks Cheryl! And yes, it's been a little while and most things seem to be doing pretty well, thankfully!
Love your video. For the life of me I can't germinate everlasting daisies. Well I did once and then it died from the harsh UV here in Bundaberg. I moved from the gold coast and the UV here is so much stronger ( despite what it says on my computer lol) I really am happy I discovered your videos and I love your outfit!
Aww, thank you (re my outfit) - it's a Princess Highway jumpsuit :) And that's such a shame about the everlastings. Maybe try a different time of year? Autumn worked well for me.
It’s great to see another keen gardener on the sunny coast, I just started under a year ago & will start vlogs soon too when I get confident 😅 💚 🌽🫑🍓🍐🍋
Yay!! Make sure to tell me when you do, I'd love to follow along with your garden :)
I love spinach it's the best must be spring where you are does it not bolt?
It has started flowering, but as it's a perennial, bolting isn't an issue.
I grew some! I loved it. I totally forgot this year
What climate are you in? Do you have to plant it new each year?
Hi from Bris. I'll watch and live vicariously till I'm up that way and have some space myself 🥰
Thanks Courtney! 😊
So jealous! I wish dragon fruit would grow here in Seattle! Happy I found your channel ❤
Thank you for being here! :)
