This is the garden video I've been waiting the whole week for - I follow Huw Richards, Charles Dowding, James Prigioni, all the 'big' names, but Anthony is without doubt my favourite & most helpful TH-camr. Well done on another solid video, thank you so much 👍👍👍
Thanks Glyn for the kind comments. Really glad that you are getting something out of my videos. Thanks for the support. Trying not to be too repetitive but it’s hard when I spend all winter growing caulies and broccoli 😀
Great caulis Anthony. I pretty well give up on cauls as I never had any success. This year I gave them a go and thanks to some of your tips I harvested the first one last week. Cheers.
Excellent mate! Hope the slugs stayed off yours. Some of my heads got a lot of baby slugs in them so I will need to pick up my game next planting and control the slugs
Thanks. The key with caulies is that you need to try to plant them early in the season so that they still can take advantage of the warmth in the soils. In Sydney the soil can stay pretty warm up to late May but cools fast once June comes past. If you plant early enough the plants would put enough size so that they can mature in the cold weather
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 thanks for your reply Anthony. I planted seedlings in early August but we have had a hot autumn in Perth, so maybe they will kickstart now as we’ve finally cooled down
Interesting observation about the winter solstice. Mizuna I started in late summer has started to bolt but lettuces started at the same time have not. Guess some are more sensitive to the day length than others.
Yeah some plants are impacted more than others. My old man keeps telling me that parsley planted in late spring will only bolt once we move to September. Likewise parsley planted in March April will bolt at the same time. With my rocket I find it’s the same case if I plant a late round now they will bolt straight away. As you have said different varieties and plants have different tolerant to daylight changes
Great video Anthony. Thanks for the tips about the coriander. I will remember to get them all in before the Winter Solstice next year. Do you grow celery in your garden? I always struggle with celery so would love to see this if you do! 🙂
I have grown celery in the past and it grew quite slow and was really stringy and strong flavoured and didn’t grow them again. I might try them out again next year. Plant them out in March would be my recommendation and add a lot of water and fertilisier
Hi Craig I will take the heads in and give them a rinse and then let the water dry. I will then wrap in a loose paper towel and put in a plastic bag in the fridge. They will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge though ideally I would try to use them in the first 7 days to get the most out of then
Hey Anthony, thanks for this video - so envious about your caulis (and brassicas generally). Question: how many chooks do you have and how large is their enclosure?
Hi thanks for watching. I have 14 birds that live in a run 4 by 4 but I have a mid tier level where they roost and lay their eggs. I also extend their run using fence panels to let them out into the garden when the beds are empty
Thanks Anthony, very straight forward 😁 how many weeks roughly does the coriander seeds need till full growth/ harvesting them? Thank you for your honest content! I have succeeded in growing broccoli's because of your advice and direction. 🥦😁 One happy gardner
These ones I planted they took 3 months. Mum came back and told me that the plants were too large and that she wants them picked smaller so I will look at turning over the second planting in 8 weeks. It comes down to how warm the soils are. Now we are in the middle of winter the garden really slows but generally 8 weeks
So glad I found your channel - so informative 🙂
Thanks for watching Brian 👍
All new information for me being a novice aussie gardener. Thank you Anthony!
I’m glad it helps and thanks for watching 👍
What a beautiful garden Anthony! I look forward to your updates mate. Thank you for allowing us to follow your progress!
Thanks Glenn appreciate your support and glad you are enjoying it

Another good one is Roots and Refuge if you haven't heard of it.
@@michellenorris211 I do, Jess is great 👍 But this is similar climate to me in Australia, so Anthony's advice is really useful 👍
@@ImGlyn I do agree, Aussie here too😀

I prefer to watch southern hemisphere shows because you get to see when to plant things.
Great idea putting a sheet over the seedlings. 🌱
Thanks mate yeah trick the old man taught me. He has been doing it for years
Awesome result mate!
Thanks matt 👍
What beautiful caulifloweret and coriander Anthony, with your tips I hope to have some beautiful heads this year too, fingers crossed. Jacqui
Hope they would out for you 👍

Nice Cauliflowers mate!! It will be a happy day when I can fully grow one of those!! LOL!!
Thanks yeah they take time and patience but once they are on they are great eating
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 Mine always seems to get attacked by something!!
My cauliflowers are not growing fast at all this year! Good on you!

Thanks for sharing. My coriander I planted in March isn't doing too well and doesn't seem to be growing as lush as yours!
If it was planted in March look at Addison a fortnightly feed of liquid nitrogen fertiliser and make sure it is well watered

The cauliflowers look great but not a lover of coriander, love parsley being a German by birth. 🙃😉😊
😂 I’m happy to harvest both.

Hi Anthony. Another great video. How do you store the heads & for how long please?
