Thank you again for another informative video. What the other big Aussie gardeners on TH-cam have missed is that we want to see the doing in real time on a weekly basis. Thanks again
Thabks for the comment mate. Yeah really trying from my end to get the content out as soon as I film to keep everyone up to date on what I’m doing. Hope it helps you with your gardening 👍
Absolutely agree. It's what has turned me off some of my favourite gardening channels that blew up huge. Suddenly my favourite garden lady has cows and tractors and never does any work in the veg garden. I'm here to see the daily maintenance, hands in the dirt. Love it, appreciate it, and relate to it.
Hi Anthony, you got a great harvest of brassicas there. I have finished for this season as most of my last crop bolted while I was away. Once again great stuff. Cheers 👍👍
Thanks mate. My cabbages should be fine I can harvest now but the caulies I’m fairly confident I will get a crop from them by mid to late October. Here’s to hoping fingers crossed 🤞
Best of luck with your corn planting mine are 4 weeks in and they have put on a lot of size but the wind has been knocking them over. Need to start hilling them to support them more in this spring winds we are having
Hi Anthony, your cauliflower and cabbages are looking great, unfortunately I was away when we had that really hot week so all my bolted,, never mind there is always next year. Jacqui
Try looking at warm season varieties where you are located there are a number of varieties that they grow in the growing regions of SEQLD that would be suited in your area. I have found warm season varieties do better in Sydney also
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 Thank you Anthony for the tip, I didn't realize there were varieties that tolerated our heat I will definitely check it out for next season. Jacqui
Geez! I have brassica envy. My cabbages are hardly hearting up at all so far. I prefer to use BT to treat cabbage worms as pyrethrum kills the good bugs as well as the pests. I'm down in Melbourne and just hoping my cabbages come good before the warm weather hits. Nice video. Cheers!
Thank for watching! Yeah BT is definitely better to use than pyrethrum to control caterpillar as it is specific. I try to minimise the impact on good bugs by spraying in the late afternoon early evening when the winged predators are away.
Hey mate I use pyrethrum. It’s a safe contact spray and is ideal dealing with caterpillars. I find that the caterpillars are not around in winter but as soon as it warms up they are everywhere. I generally spray every 7-10 days and especially when I start seeing any damage
Looking so good! I've had the best brassica season I've ever had. Broccoli, cauli and cabbage have been huge and amazing. The cabbages are looking a bit heyho fighting against the chooks and white moths, but still great big firm heads coming in. Can't wait for this cold snap to go away again 😂 Im done with winter!
It’s getting cold this week but I’m fully committed to summer planting now I have my first plantings of all my summer veggies in now and starting to plan my second succession planting
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 I finally committed to getting my corn seed out 😂 bad timing on that. I'm still clinging on to my snow and snap peas though, not quite ready to let them go!
Thank you for great videos. I discovered your channel recently and have now subscribed. With the same climate, I follow your garden timetable, with good results so far. - To be even more educational, it would be great if you also mentioned what varieties of seeds you buy or order and when, so that we are not behind when duplicating your strategies. Thanks again for your efforts and demonstrations that are so helpful. ❤
I have a 850m2 block and I have converted about 100m2 of growing space for veggies so I am able to turn over a lot of produce from my patch. Though I also focus on succession planting and planting my crops close to maximise production
I really struggle especially when you get prolonged periods of rain. I do use snail pellets regularly to control them and also try to limit the breeding places for slugs so I don’t use mulch. Once the heads form they should be ok as the head grows from the inside. I am experimenting with using diluted vinegar solution to deal with slugs once they get into the head while growing
I love a deep fried cauliflower though not great for my cholesterol. I really do enjoy eating cauliflower rice as well especially when you have a nice tomato based stew
The chickens are watching you and start pacing faster when they know there greens are coming. Love it.
Haha yeah they are always keen on snacks they are thinking I’m bringing over kitchen scraps or sunflower seeds
TFS

Lovely veggies as always and I'm getting the largest raised bed ready to plant corn in, fingers crossed it grows. 🌽🌽🌽

Looking good myfriend
Thanks tony. Appreciate the support
I'm sure if I grew Cauliflowers from seed they would be "headless" like my cabbages!! LOL!!
Haha yeah it does feel like that with caulies. But they all eventually head up but they need a lot of time.
Looking good 😊😊😊
Thanks mate 👍
Your cabbage, cauli and broccoli leaves look completely pest free. What do you use and how often do you apply?
Garden looks beautiful

Thanks for the feedback I will add this to my future videos. I will try to put a what I’m doing next week section
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 Thank you for that. You are doing a great service for the Australian (and other Southern Hemisphere) gardening community.
How big is your land? U grow so much !!!
I have a 850m2 block and I have converted about 100m2 of growing space for veggies so I am able to turn over a lot of produce from my patch. Though I also focus on succession planting and planting my crops close to maximise production
which fungicide are you usingg? didnt quite catch it, and want to look it up and try.
i'm using "eco fungicide" which is potassium carbonate.
cheers
I use copper cxychloride to control though it works better as a preventative rather than a cure
How do you stop the earwigs and slugs getting into your cabbages?
I really struggle especially when you get prolonged periods of rain. I do use snail pellets regularly to control them and also try to limit the breeding places for slugs so I don’t use mulch. Once the heads form they should be ok as the head grows from the inside. I am experimenting with using diluted vinegar solution to deal with slugs once they get into the head while growing
@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 Thanks mate.
Could you do a guide on how you plant carrots, I am after some info on getting them to germinate. Yours seem to be quite successful in germinating
I have a video where I planted my carrots it was probably 6 videos ago I’ll see if I can post a link for you

Beautiful cauliflower heads. What is your favourite recipe to make with cauli? My family love cauliflower cheese 😂
I love a deep fried cauliflower though not great for my cholesterol. I really do enjoy eating cauliflower rice as well especially when you have a nice tomato based stew
