Love your videos, Anthony. You really know your stuff and I'm enjoying both watching the progress of your fruit/veggie patch and gaining some great tips from you. Greetings from the Central Coast! Lisa
Hi Anthony, thanks for the reminder about citrus trees. I will check mine out today. I've been so busy in my front garden pruning my roses and getting it ready for spring I forgot about the citrus. Great video as usual. Cheers.
Winter is still a great time to be in the garden. Love seeing the progress Anthony. Hope your tomato and chilli germination is progressing. Like you I had some older chilli seeds that didn't germinate, but the rest of the chillis and all the tomatos are looking solid
Thanks mate was going to post an update on the seedlings but it didn’t make it past the editing 😀tomatoes and jalapeños have germinated I planted a second round of capsicums and they should be germinating this week
Hey Anthony im in western sydney near penrith we copped a flogging early this year with stink bugs.i found hot water and vinegar killed them instantly. Most people forget too when pruning citrus you actually leave the trees open to things like citrus gall wasp etc.best to spray with a barrier like bluestone and limestone mix when pruning is done.also helps with leaf curl and leaf miners.aphids i just keep all my old chillis and make a chilli oil dish soap mix spray early mornings if you can or once a week.depends on wind and rain etc.you dont want that chilli getting in your eyes trust me. Becareful with manures too if you have cuts i had cellulitis on my leg earlier this year due to manures and it can kill you.i was in hospital for 4 days.please take care.
Yeah I will use that bluestone and limestone mix I’ll come back and treat the tree tomorrow. I have been meaning to start using gloves with the garden just getting used to not having the freedom of movement when using bare hands. You will see me with gloves in later videos
I'm holding off pruning and feetilizing mine. The last week was a nice tease for spring here in Sydney, but we got a more cold still to come. I'm gonna wait another week or 2
Yeah I bought a commercial grade concentration from my local produce store. 1 litre is $120 but I use 1 ml to make a 5 litre sprayer. It’s lasted 3 years now and still going strong
You don't have to cut out the entire branch - you can use a vegetable peeler and just get rid of the gall wasps. Gardening Australia have a video on it - th-cam.com/video/_QmWf9YLXUQ/w-d-xo.html
Ive just moved into a new house with a handful of very sick and sad looking citrus trees. Im doing my best to save them, but they might be too far gone 😔
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 I'll see if I can find you over there! Thanks. They've got a bunch of dead limbs and where the bark peeling off, the wood underneath has tracks like a bug has been making a home there.
Those trees are growing very well, wonderful techniques for the garden
Hi Anthony, just some info for you. When you add blood and bone, add potash with it to give a complete fertiliser. It works a treat!

@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 i dont wear gloves even after the infection i just be really careful and wash straight away.

Yeah the warm weather tricked me as well.
You must use a lot of pyrethrum. I just bought some and it's expensive! Do you buy a bulk version? I got Yates one for $17 for only 200ml 😬

Lemon process, same for lime?
Can you use crushed up egg shells instead of grit
You could if you like
Gall bladder wasp?? My poor lemon tree gets riddled with it!! I have to keep cutting it off everytime I saw it!!

I don’t have too much of a problem with fall wasps but I would prune those branches off if I did

They are very resilient, I nursed mine back and they are absolutely thriving now.
Hey reach out to me on Instagram and send me a photo of your tree should be able to let you know if you can save it

Get a cal/magn foliar spray from Bunnings, that should get rid of most deficiencies and green it up
