    "This usually doesn't grow this time of year" - Plant looks fantastic
    "Never tried this before, no idea what'll happen" - Plant looks fantastic
    "Just an experiment, might not make it" - Plant looks fantastic
    "Just came up by itself, might have to rip it out" - Plant looks fantastic

To keep costs down, using rain gutters to grow leaf lettuce, an assortment of lid missing Tupperware, buckets, and trash cans to grow tomatoes, peppers, bush beans, mini eggplant, potatoes, and french carrots. It's coming along so well that my hubby is talking about getting us a Birdies raised bed for next year! YES!!!

    I am growing some sweet beans and they all started to have blighted leaves like my tomato's. One web commentator said they might be short on Supfur, so I put my Blueberry's elemental Sulfur down and the new growth is all clear of blight. Perhaps hay/mulch gardens can be low on Sulfur. Put some under my potted capsicum and bullocks heart tomato as their leaves were blighting too. And the new leaves there are solid green now too!

    I have a pea recommendation. We grow a few of the traditional peas in our spring and fall but the one that we love to grow in the spring is called "Wando". It is a heat tolerant variety that we are able to grow into a bit of our summer extending our pea harvest for a bit longer. We live in central Georgia in the States and have a wicked long summer season but those Wando will grow for a good 3-6 weeks longer than the traditional peas.

    I am a new backyard fruit and veggie grower - I have been watching a video or 2 of Mark's each day and all I can say is he has "the skills to pay the bills". I can't believe how much I have learned in just a few days. Thanks a lot Mark .... I am glad I found your channel.

    You amaze me! I always thought you had to buy seeds (because they grow smaller or don't come up at all) but you get them for FREE! 🤯👏👏❤

    I'm only up the road from you in mfield. My zuchhs and cucumbers have started to set fruit, mine are in 300mm pots so I'm sure yours will thrive!

    Hiya Mark , love your channel , I am on the south coast of NSW , my neighbours have been growing and giving me chokos, and as I’m the only one of my family that likes them , several of them had started to shoot ! . I came home from work the other day and my son said that he had planted the triffids! We’ll just have to see how they go , we do get the odd frost here .. never know ! But goodness there’s 4 or 5 plants !!

    Love your garden. Good luck with the construction. Never stop growing. Your videos remind people in troubled times that there is more to life than politics and chaos. Keep them coming.

    Thanks for the tour Mark. Our temperature range at the moment in Darwin is around 19 to 32. Too warm for a lot plants, have given up on normal coriander, but the sawtooth variety is doing ok. Other plants are thriving - sweet potato, rock melon, water melon, zucchini, snake beans... mostly using raised beds because our soil is so poor. Lock down has given me the time to go hard in the garden... enjoying your channel!

    Good day! And thank you so much for taking the time and energy to share your valuable information. Please send more information about how to store seeds once you harvest them and how you plant them once they come out of storage. Do you soak them, refridgerate them, etc? THANKS!!!

    Mark, have you tried to grow okra? It's a subtropical plant, so it's supposed to grow well out there. I was trying to grow it in Victoria, but it definitely needs more sun time and warmth.

    You're growing in a similar climate as mine except I get much more rain and it is 10-15°F cooler. Thank you for the garden update and keep up the great work.
