    The fan espalier stone fruits look like beautiful Christmas trees with fruit baubles.

    Greetings from Far North Queensland. What a lovely garden :) stumbled across your channel in the recommended vids, so glad! Aside from all else, your tour just makes me really want to grow runner beans again! Used to grow them in England, and they are only matched by snake beans in how much they give and give for so little!
    Looking forward to getting to know your patch through your vids, looks like I have some catching up to do! 😅

      Thanks so much for your lovely comment! Good luck with the runner beans - glad I’ve inspired you! I might grow some snake beans next year.

    Those black cherry tomatoes are so tasty. Sadly I didn't have seeds this year, but I've got heaps of different tomatoes growing.
    I'm passing some small plants off to the neighbors as I've got no room to grow them.
    Nice update. 👍

    for a handful of tomato plants, you can get away with tying up to a stick. i typically grow a dozen of indeterminate plants, and have found sanity by investing in making a solid support structure i can hang strings from and use commercial clips.
    i also grow about 3 bush tomato variety Rebel F1 or similar, which is a determinate and requires no tying up at all, as grows close to ground without spreading too much.
    i've found the whole mulching and composting thing to be expensive and spent too much time doing it, and it was making my soil even more hydrophobic.
    commercial growers dont mulch.
    i bought a dripline irrigation kit from US for the veggie patch, because local offerings are overpriced and other issues.
    i got rid of raised beds and finally grow in easy to manage and dripline water and fertilize rows. each to their own, as we all have different needs. i will say that i wish i knew earlier that most of the marketing hype of raised beds online was just that. anyhow, happy now without them.
    keep growing.

    So much cosmos! How many plants do you have bunched together? Or are they single plants that have branched out? Cosmos are also edible

    • @the.bee.friendly.gardener
      @the.bee.friendly.gardener  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks - I didn’t know they were edible. Will give them a try!
      Each of the bunches is a single plant - most beds have one or two cosmos plants in them. Cosmos bipinnatus “apricotta”

      @julsmei8128 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @the.bee.friendly.gardener i don't think they taste amazing, just pretty for cake decoration or whatever. I've got apricotta and apricot lemonade cosmos seedlings, so good to know what size they might get!

    Hi. I'm moving into my new house in January and want to get raised beds. I hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get your raised beds from?

    • @the.bee.friendly.gardener
      @the.bee.friendly.gardener  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Congrats on your new house! The beds are from Birdies Beds - I bought them online but I believe they might also be stocked at Bunnings in limited sizes. I’ve had these for 3 years and I’m very happy with them. They do take some time to assemble, and if you have a socket wrench it goes a lot faster. I’d recommend getting one if you were buying more than 2-3 beds.

      @the.bee.friendly.gardener  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not this year unfortunately! I have grown standard butternut and wrinkled butternut pumpkins in the past, which were excellent, but a lot of my seeds are in storage elsewhere due to the shed renovation. Do you have any recommendations for pumpkin varieties you like?
