Happy gardening! What do you think i should plant??? I'm planning on Zucchini, Cherry Tomatoes, Banana Capsicum, and of course some flowers and radishes sprinkled in between. Maybe some cucumbers....if I can find some shade
I do have a few bush tucker plants. The only real way I deter pests is with used coffee grounds on my seedlings. After that I let the gardens do their thing. Plant extra, plant in different areas, I never sow the same thing in one patch. Encourage diversity 🌱🐞🦎
Also in Perth and I've planted 2 different zucchini, cucumber, 3 different tomatoes (plus the 2 that self-seeded), tromboncino, cucuzza, 3 different pumpkins, and in my small raised beds spinach, carrot, snow peas, beetroot and pollinator flowers. Today i might do another round of beetroot and add some lettuce and radish (maybe a kohl rabi or 2) to the spots i have left. Love this time of year!
Hello happy Sunday! Perfect timing for a break. Oh the flies Holly. One those struggles and you won! Hard work getting through pile of soil! My pile is woodchips for potatoes and kumara. I better get back to it. Thanks for taking us on the journey🌻
Nice job Holly. I'm overdue for a full reset of my raised beds but I just can't force myself to pull out plants that are still producing. 😊 I just added an inch of compost and pulled out all the brassicas that have gone to seed to make room for Summer plants. I'm growing tomatoes, capsicum, chili, zucchini, eggplant, and some new chard, plus lettuce, radish, and carrots that I grow year-round. (Melbourne) Cheers!
Their soil is perfect. All my wicking beds have the Vege mix. I am in Perth hills. I have planted four varieties of tomatoes, pumpkin, cucumber, lettuces all cos so I can cut fresh daily, red capsicum, beans, strawberries, echinacea spinach and pyrethrum. Yesterday I pulled out four huge beetroots. Basically I plant what I eat.
I'm very much the same @boobooks. Wicking beds, perth hills, veg mix (with some of my own compost)from green soils & some of the same plants. This is my first year gardening so would love to learn from "get in & have a go" sort of people hench why I follow Holly.
Currently all hand watered. I do have weeper hoses down my fruit tree lines for slow release of water. Will be potentially upgrading this year but we shall see 👀 I focus on lots of chop and drop, dense planting and summer shade to help reduce water needed.
Hey Holly! Solarization to kill weed seeds is new to me, perhaps you can do a future video on this as part of a composting video. Question from the cheap seats...Why do you wear black in the heat? Wouldn't white be a better choice? For my new raised beds, I start from scratch with logs which over time will break down but in the meantime act like sponges. Do you put mulch on top? I use Sugar Cane Mulch unless I have an acid loving plant e.g. Blueberries for which I use pine needles. How thoughtful of you to leave a phone for your birds in the birdhouse ;-) Home saved seeds are the best! Love your work! Cheers!
Holly, you did not mentioned why are you not adding mulch on top of your soil though said you have a different strategy? If you were to mulch your garden beds, what will you use for raised beds and fruit trees?
Why not just "chop 'n' drop" n top up with ya bought soil... plenty of valuable nutrients you just threw in the green waste.... why!?!?!? Holy shit that's a huge rock to be gardening with on a finger!!🤣 I can't wear anything from my elbows to mi nails when i'm in mi garden...

Do you have bush tucker planted in your garden? Also how do you control pests in an organic garden?
Cheers
@@gobletsquattiff676 I use a garlic and chilli boiled water strain and spray. And each bed has a herb and a white snapdragon to deter cabbage moth.

Mustard leaves are amazing ; their seeds..
I want to try some Roma tomatoes this year and sun dry them for snacks.... :)

I use their veggie mix in my raised beds, love it. Also many of their other soil products.
🤗💚
That's a good tip about only needing 30cm in rased beds
🤗💚
Really happy for a new video 🎉🎉
Looks great!❤
💚 Thanks Mel
I'll be interested to hear how you go with the pigeon pea Holly, this is my first year of trying to grow that (in Perth too).
Fellow Perth vegie gardener here, also using raised beds. Could you please tell us more info regarding your watering system? Thanks

Haha I know black is not ideal but white is impossible when im constantly wiping dirty hands on my shirts, haha
We used GLSCo mixes when we lived in Mandurah, they were great. So sad we are too far away for them now
Looks great !
Oooohhh kohl rabi seeds..I need2 grow some!
Little spaceship veggies haha
Check your nitrogen levels with veggie organic mixes had some issues in the past only small adjustments needed
🙏 Will see how it goes 🌿🌱

May I ask where you got you butterfly pea plant from? I'm looking for one to put in my garden
Do you grow excess? Do you have enough vegetables to sell?

I don't remember but it was definitely seeds I bought and planted 💚
Why not just "chop 'n' drop" n top up with ya bought soil... plenty of valuable nutrients you just threw in the green waste.... why!?!?!?
Holy shit that's a huge rock to be gardening with on a finger!!🤣 I can't wear anything from my elbows to mi nails when i'm in mi garden...
It's all gone in my compost bins none of it was wasted.
@@SustainableHolly Ah! Of course! How'd I miss that?🤦♂Sorry bout that.
