Australian Balcony Gardening - August Garden Tour, Spring Planning, Tidying & Pruning.
มุมมอง 168หลายเดือนก่อน
In this cozy garden episode, we will be doing a little reset while we plan out what to grow in Spring. We will start with an August garden tour of the lovely vegetables and flowers I'm growing in containers this month in Melbourne. This includes some lovely leafy greens, carrots, snow peas, beetroots, poppies, tulips and my lemon tree. We do a cleanup and remove the old marigold plants to free ...

7 EASY vegetables for BEGINNER gardeners to grow in small containers
Love the short and straight to the point video. Thanks. Cutworms..... my nemesis this year! 😀
So welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Sorry to hear about your nemesis - mine were aphids 🤣
So thats why I like growing weed lmak
🤣 exactly!
Thank you for the very thorough video! This encouraged me to finally start planting!
Amazing!! What will you plant first? I’m excited for you! ☺️
@@kiajadeurbangardener I've planted garlic, basil and ONE 😂 potato on a little corner of my balcony. Just experimenting to see what comes of it!
@@lmelki89 That's awesome! I hope they grow well for you. :) Experimenting is the best way!
I really enjoyed your video. It has such a peaceful and relaxing vibe, beautifully connected to nature 🙂 You got my subscribe 👍
Aw Emma thank you so much!! That has made my day - I’m still so new to YT so any feedback is fantastic and thanks for subscribing 🥰
Thanks kia, very informative 😜
Thanks for watching ☺️
I'm still getting used to my new home, and this winter I didn’t get any sun on my balcony, just indirect light. Only now in August has a small ray of sun briefly touched the spot in the mid of the day. I still don’t know how much sun it gets here, so I'm uncertain of which plants to get for the new garden. I’m also worried about the heat in the summer, which has been getting worse by the year. Thank you for another video!
It’s always tricky learning where the sun will go in a new home. It’s interesting though because in winter my balcony garden only gets minimal direct sunlight on the plants and some don’t get any direct (the potatoes). So I wonder if you could test out growing a couple of shade loving plants in the meantime. Or would you rather plan it all out once you’ve got a better idea of the sunlight season by season? Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment! Means so much when I’m starting out on YT to know someone enjoys the content ☺️☺️
Alba is helping
She is very good at helping in the garden 🐶🤣
And the deer love them!
Oh nooo!! I’m lucky I don’t have that problem on my balcony 😅
How do you fertilize?
I plant them in really nutrient rich soil with manure and blood and have used seasol as a top up every few weeks
Technically you could go to 100 before yoou start experincing problems, how the y did back in the dark ages
100 from 1 seed potato ? 🤔
Thank you.
@@byLokie thanks for watching ☺️ Hope it’s helpful
Thank you for the lovely video! How much time until the first layer of potatoes sprouts so you can do the next layer?
Thank you so much for watching ☺️ the length of time can differ depending on how deep the potatoes were planted, temperature etc but it can take around 4-6 weeks from memory - I’ll document it here on my channel as I go to show how long it took me and how much growth I get before I add my first layer. Are you growing potatoes too right now?
@@kiajadeurbangardenerI'm planning to start my first garden! I finally have the outside space for it now, and seems it's quite similar to yours.
@@lmelki89 so exciting!! If you need any help just let me know but my biggest advice is to see where gets the most sunlight in your garden and use that to plan what you’ll grow and where to position things ☺️☺️
I've grown chillies, and they went well.
Yes chillies are great in containers
I love your dogs sweater!! Balcony looks great :)) I also love marigolds, I’m in the US north East, and we have a heat wave right now but the summer garden is thriving. It’s my third year gardening, and I grow lots of veggies like tomatoes, zucchini, beans, peas, watermelon, peppers, cucumber, and other annual flowers!! Loved seeing the different perspective from your part of the world!
Aw thanks so much!! She is a cheeky little thing but loves being cosy and warm in Winter. Wow what a contrast that you're experiencing a heatwave in the US North East! How is the garden coping with the heat? I loooove that you have such a variety of vegetables growing this time of year - Summer really is the best time in the garden. What kind of annual flowers do you grow? Also thanks for your lovely comment it's so nice to hear about your garden :)
@@kiajadeurbangardener the tomatoes are sadly not fully ripening from the heat being around 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, but I’m trying to cut them and have them ripen inside. Certain plants seem to like the heat like the cucumber, peas, and beans, plus the watermelon patch is huge!! And the annuals I am growing are marigolds (with seeds I harvested last year), nasturtiums, cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, bachelor buttons, and I’m starting to grow coneflowers which are perennial. I also have a puppy she’s almost a year old :) she loves playing outside no matter the weather but we don’t want her out too much in the middle of the day heat. She’s a jack Russell terrier mix with a lot of energy and loves to chase squirrels. I hope you have a good week and look forward to seeing how your balcony garden continues!!
@@jujubeens Ohhh noo I hope you manage to still get some ripe tomatoes even with the heatwave. Wow you have such an amazing variety of flowers too. I can't wait to grow Zinnias soon as they are stunning - Along with sunflowers (bees love them too). Aw a jack russell terrior mix would be the cutest little helper in the garden. Have a great week and hope the temp cools down for you guys :)
Not going to lie that potato salad gayttttyyyyy
You’ve lost me 🤣

Do you compost as well? Adding compost may be helpful in making the soil a bit more acidic
Thanks so much for the tip! I actually do have a compost tumblr but I have kind of neglected it recently. I’ll be sure to add the compost to the Camellia ❤

Oooh how nice!! How are your strawberries going? Everytime I’ve had strawberries they get eaten by slugs
And the temperature cannot drop below 14 degrees . . . Ever!
My mum is growing them in South East Queensland and in winter it drops to 6 degrees at night and they still are growing well. Although summer gets very hot
No coconut has milk in it
Coconut water or milk is the juice inside a coconut! Super healthy for you ☺️
Definitely worth buying bulbs in bulk or mixed bags. I usually wait till the end of planting season sales start so you can get some excellent deals on bulbs. I prefer growing jonquils, daffodils, freesias, hyacinths and grape hyacinths, which usually can be bought in bulk for cheap, especially during online sales 🌷
Thank you that's super helpful! Are there any online websites you get yours from? I'm so excited to start planting way more bulbs and also learn how to dig them up after the season and store for the next! Your garden must be beautiful
@@kiajadeurbangardener I got almost all of my bulbs this year from Tesselaar during their sales in April. I’m a lazy gardener and the coastal NSW weather helps with that. I chose bulbs that’ll naturalise so I don’t have to do any digging up and I don’t have to do any extra hassle like chilling them. I grow everything in pots and I enjoy growing only cut flowers. Currently, everything’s just green and wet at the moment, but the paperwhites have started blooming so I’ve been picking them to bring inside. I love the paperwhite Ziva since it flowers in winter even when outdoors here 🥰
Love this! Will give this a go as soon as I've got my balcony covered against wind
Yay that's so exciting! Although agree making a little shelter against the wind will help set you up so you don't have any plants lost to the elements haha. Keep me posted on how you go :)
16 peppers, 8 tomatoes, 4 squashes, 12 cucumbers, 18 Brussels sprouts, 8x2 carrots, 8~ pea/beans vine and bush, 20 something herb variety, 9 pumpkin (small)
This is such a great variety of vegetables!! You must have a beautiful big garden 😍😍
did you know that you can grow a dumb one out of a dumb one
😂😂😂😂
did you know you are dumb
The watering globes are like $3 and much easier to manage. Thumbs up to the concept, thumbs down to this specific execution.
Ooooh I haven’t seen watering globes before! I’ll have to test them out next time we go away on holiday! Thanks for the advice ☺️
Great idea. Is the inside coated with glaze or is it plain terra cotta? Thank you! 🌿💖🌿
If it was glazed the water would not go through.
Now m just wondering how it works. Education time. Thank you for the answer!
It’s just terracotta so it slowly releases water and keeps the soil moist ☺️
Oh my bf found the best homemade aphid spray recipe for our roses they were even worse than your plants, it looked like the rose bush was moving! 😮 Vinegar, detergent, bicarb and water. Worked in ONE go. I was so happy 😊
Omg I’m going to try that!!! Thank you so much - I feel my biggest battle in the garden is fighting the aphids 😂

What did the dog do?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was digging up my plants so I put her inside and she kept barking to try and be let out to cause more chaos 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much because my lemon tree and my mandarin tree ended up getting these and I was just like what are they are they like worms or caterpillars.
Ahh!! They love citrus so lucky you can remove them now. If you keep on top of them they should be fine ☺️
Hi I would like to know where you got your trellis from that your snow peas are climbing upon that is a really good trellis. I miss my little vegetable garden decided to get bigger because I was doing so good with a little one the big one got too ridiculous and I couldn't maintain it go to head of myself.
I got it from Bunnings here in Australia but you might be able to get on Amazon? Wow that’s amazing you expanded your veggie garden. Do you think you’ll go back to a smaller garden?
Why flip your dog the bird?😮
She was getting into my containers digging and when I put her inside kept barking at me to let her back out to cause more trouble 😈🤣
Would this work with strawberries?
You can definitely grow strawberries in containers but don’t feed them coffee, they don’t want acidic soil ☺️
My balcony could hold 2 chairs and a small table, that's a small balcony. What you have is a living room! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 that’s very fair. Are you able to squeeze in a little herb container at least?
@@kiajadeurbangardener I am guessing I can but it's not really going to save money like a garden could. 🤣
I planted 5 blueberry sticks 10 years ago and i have one left. It looks the same as the day I planted it. I'll feed it some coffee and see if its attitude changes 😂
Haha give it some coffee and hopefully that helps!! We all perform better after a good cup of coffee 🤣
How does this have 10 likes i thought at least 10k
I just posted it 😅 there is still time hehe
@@kiajadeurbangardener oh yeah makes sense lol
Mine hates arvo sunlight, in summer we have to have her behind the house so she gets the morning sun until about 2pm but the garage protects her from the arvo light. They are thirsty and you may need to water them twice a day over heat waves. They're also dramatic. And the odds are the magpies will steal the berries while they're still green. I've had my bush for 5 years and we still haven't gotten more than a handful of berries off it, I'm going to get some netting this spring and see if that helps.
Thank you so much for amazing tips and advice!! Where abouts do you live? Do you usually have hot days in Summer? They’re dramatic 🤣 I love that! Netting definitely helps with those naughty magpies for sure.
@@kiajadeurbangardener I'm out in a suburb of Melbourne, I don't know what it is about the angle of the light but I swear the sun at 4pm hits different than like 11am or even noon. But I'm not kidding about the drama, they drop 80% of their leaves all at once at the start of autumn (which makes you think it's dead when they're small), pop out with 40cm new branches overnight in spring, and if they dry out too much (especially over summer) random branches just turn black.
@@schaynegeorge4793 wow they are legit dramatic!!! I live in Melbourne too 😊 I totally agree with you, over Summer it feels like 4pm is honestly the hottest time of the day. What else are you growing at the moment? I’m so excited to start planting potatoes soon
@@kiajadeurbangardener I have a brown thumb, so honestly not much survives for me. I've got some lavender, rosemary and mint that survived the summer. I've got two broccoli plants left out of the 10 seedlings I planted at the start of spring but they haven't given anything yet. My tomatoes have died off but my father in law says to leave them and they might pop back up next year.
Fabulous Kia very informative. I am about to turn my old fire pit into a pot and grow silverbeet in it. Also I use my 1 litre milk bottles as seedling pots, I cut it 3/4 down and they are a great size.
That’s awesome!! What a good way of up cycling old containers and giving them a new life!
Great informative video Kia!
Thanks for watching 🥰🥰
My tree don't like if i take the leafs out
If you take just the infected leaves it should be ok!
I tried it and it works. Before you pass judgment pls try it first
Thank you!! My advice is if you think it’s a scam try it yourself - appreciate your kind words
Well done on your first TH-cam vid! Whoohoo!!
Omg thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 I was very nervous putting it up!! Appreciate your lovely comment!
2 in one You surely open doors to evil and better garden maybe. Truthfully look for cooper wire on a stuck, truely a great French invention for gardening
So informative!!! I'm literally going to start a garden asap - you've inspired me xx
Aw you are the best!!! Thanks for watching and all the support! Appreciate you 🥰🥰 p.s if you need any help with the garden just holla xx
