    Welcome back to the garden for 2024 🎉 Looking forward to sharing lots more garden projects with you this year! Also don't let the jeans fool you. I filmed at 7pm on a cooler day. Currently 40 degrees Celsius during the day 🥵

    Loving the reminder/inspo/permission to plant things with the intention of mulch rather than eating it all

    Looking forward to your pond video. I put in a pond inspired by you and struggled with green algae in this hot weather. I want to make it more wildlife friendly this year.

      It's been constantly changing since I put it in! Actually, it's so interesting. I will definitely share everything!

      You might have too many nutrients building up in the water, some pumped filtration and water plants might help. Other than that maybe some shade to protect it from the sun, but yeah the heat does make things difficult.

    I love your new nursery! That's a great idea to get the pots all off the ground. Better for your back too. I'd never heard of Lemon Pinky, but now I think I need one lol.
    I would be interested in seeing you try a few different recipes with the Queensland Arrowroot (maybe including turning it into flour and using it that way?) - it grows really well here in Sydney too, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
    I'd also like to see what ideas you come up with to cover the soil under your citrus trees. I'm always interested in problem-solving type stories in the garden.
    I also can't wait to see what new garden beds you create, and to see where you end up planting all those new trees, but I don't want you to feel like you need to do a massive project for every video! The simple videos are good too - I love the garden update videos, and the harvest videos. :)
    You mentioned a while ago that you were considering creating a little container garden food forest thing, to give apartment-dwellers and people with limited space some ideas - I'm still keen on seeing that if you do decide to do it.
    Happy New Year, and I'm excited to see everything you grow this year!

    • @SustainableHolly
      @SustainableHolly  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Absolutely! Now that I have so much of them I can experiment more with recipes. I haven't used them too much as I was trying to repopulate and build up my patch.
      Plans are in place for the urban food forest im keeping an eye out for second hand supplies to collect now!

    Hey Holly! It is so good to see you again!! I like the fact that you can walk barefoot throughout your garden. I find it very therapeutic when I do the same! Have you thought of planting a Curry Leaf tree? I have one and it provides so much flavor to my curry dishes. Many folk I have cooked for find the inclusion of just a few leaves so authentic. They will tolerate shade and will be more subtle than when planted in full sun. Hope to see you do more in the area of ponds. I have a bird bath but would love a pond or a water feature because these could be relaxing as well. Cheers!

    Love your garden tours and seeing how much it's grown. Great idea with your little nursery too. I'm with you loving all the rare tropical fruits! Still got a few on my list yet to get like the Pinky Lemon. Can't wait to see how your's does to get a few tips. With all the rain we've been getting in Bris, we've had a few noisy green tree frogs around our house. Love having them around. Maybe a small pond or water feature is on my project list this year inspired by you!

    In November i moved from Perth to Hobart and I've already been able to get some vegetables growing at my new rental. I'm having much more success then i ever did in perth with the insane heat. But we do have a shorter summer growing season and will get frost! So i have a lot to learn.

    Off topic comment (if this isn't offensive), some of the more temperamental plants... why not with plants with similar "finicky" growing conditions "clump" them together, such as using fans to increase air flow, increase humility, increase "chill temperatures" (possibly not cost effective in annually increasing average temperatures). Even growing organically/minimal maintained, there are "interventions" with minimal footprint that significantly aid resilience of a garden /food forrest and productive output

    One. Citrus, really hate root competition.

    Also, you have put, a hell of a lot of HUGE trees really close together in one garden.
    That is crazy.. Avocados grow pretty big, and ice cream bean trees are huge.....
