      Hehe, we always have the discussion about which ones are edible, they love to munch on nasturtiums in the garden, or to grab fronds of kale etc, so I didn't think much about it when they gave them to me and I said they were edible hehe.

    Nice to see that your garden has provided some food that the Bush rats didnt get. Maybe get the kids to pour your washing up water over the plants with the aphids. They don't like soapy water and it won't hurt the plants. Looking forward to seeing you harvesting what you can

    Your snapdragons are lovely. I've been bingeing your videos and really enjoying them. I appreciate the work you go to in order to publish so often considering your large family, and other enterprises to say nothing of all of the cooking and preserving you do. I always hoped to have a large family so am living vicariously right now. Thanks!

    Every time I watch I discover new things. I looked up a lot because I had never heard of them. Some I looked up and found that I heard of them but they are different wording used here in the USA. Example, capsicums are bell peppers. I also enjoy different pronunciations such as you say basil (bazzil) and most here say (baysil). That's one of the reasons why I have enjoyed your channel for the past several years. Also, seeing things like preparing meals which I can no longer do because of physical limitations. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

    Wow I really like those green garden beds! It’s exciting to know stuff is growing and hopefully next year it will thrive! I follow someone in here in Arizona that also grows the rosella but that’s the only other time I’ve seen it. The plants are large and pretty. You got a good amount of meat for your $50 this month as well! Thank you for the peek at the garden!

    @helenlecornu1651 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm down in SA and we're getting down into the 8-12 degrees at night (4 a few nights ago), bugger all rain though and we're still growing one cherry tomato (it's over 7 foot high) and have our chillies and tomatillos still producing abundantly. My chillies plants are about 2 and halfish years old now, and they only lost most of their leaves for a couple of months at the end of winter last year. They are taking longer to ripen and grow though because of the cooler weather as we are around 22-23 degrees most days and near full sun as well. So suffice to say after all that rambling yours may last a big longer, although the pest problems may deter a longer season - time will tell and fingers crossed, but if you can I'd keep them in and try to over winter some of them, so they start off well later in the year - oh and Happy Mothers day from one mum to another :D

    Happy Mother's day Nyssa. I was so excited to see a new video this morning to enjoy while having my coffee ☕ on this early Mother's day morning. Such a blessing to get a load of peppers 🌶 just in time to refill your shelves with cowboy candy. Looks like sugar rush peach peppers. Every garden harvest is a blessing, not matter how big, or how small. 😊 They ate your bouquet 💐 😅😅😅.

    So many peppers/chillies from Darryl getting them, the hamper and your garden. Isn’t it surprising what survives. I had one cauliflower that re flowered and a tomato plant that is now about 5ft tall. The possums are eating the shoots off my Passionfruit vine but they have left alone the flowers. Still I remain envious of your Basil as I can’t seen to ever grow it. I have some seeds in a tray now. But it is getting very cold at night. We went off exploring the night sky last night down at the southern coast here in Vic for Aurora Australis. So pleased we did. It was great. Definitely photographs better than what the naked eye sees. That was like a Mothers Day gift for me. Happy Mothers Day to you. I got a Anthurium and some face cream. Happy Birthday for next week.

  • @sharonburling2262

    July two years ago, hubby and I did a road trip from just south of the Adelaide Hills to Darwin and back. On the way home we stopped at the town of Adelaide River because they were having a rosella festival (the plant, not the bird). It was the first time I'd tried rosella fruit and I did buy a few things.

    Even if the tomatoes are green they will ripen if you bring them inside.I make green tomato pickles from everyones green tomatoes and if i dont get them done quickly we get some that ripen so thats a bonus for us.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I made green tomato pickles one year when I had a bumper crop and an early frost, but no one really liked them unfortunately! I will bring them in if needed, but they taste so much better when I pick them ripe heh

    I'm a big gardener and can grow most things very well but I struggle with chilli and capsicum as in the south of Australia. I'm trying to over winter a few under make shift green houses made from rose arches. Maybe a few will re shoot in spring and then produce next summer.

    Happy Mother's Day and a happy birthday as well. Yes, my vege gardens looked a bit like that a few months ago. They didn't get much attention whilst it was either too hot or raining or I was away for a month. I was quite surprised to find all my onions Parsley and Thai basil I'd ignored had reshot and look lovely now. I also had some animal that was eating my vege seedlings then the produce. Good luck with your winter crops.

    Great video. I hand pollinate my zucchini, squash, pumpkins, cucumber, and any vining vegetable or gourd etc. They produce A Ton. People ask me why...because I take a male flower and literally go around to the female ones and pollinate. Lots of videos on TH-cam on how to do it.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have always hand pollinated as well, it just makes for better cropping! but everything that started growing got eaten by bush rats before I could eat it *sigh*
      The plan is to figure out some aviary mesh tunnels over everything for next year, so the pollinators can get in, but so that I can stop the rats from getting in as well.

    Vicks is a big brand for cough drop/syrup type health items. Little pricey. The pkg in your hamper would be about $9.

      Save a few of the Chiles an dry them out for the seed an yes they turn a pretty orangey color when theyr ready. An I do a bread an butter mix to pickle the peppers in an it turns them sweet like a relish an u can use them on everything sandwichs hamburgers an hotdogs.

    Happy Mothers day, Nyssa! My birthday is in a week as well, the 19th. Mother's day is tomorrow for us. The garden in that state is what I lovingly call "Natural", lol 😆 I'm very glad that it worked out for you to be able to make your cowboy candy. I get so many ideas from you on what to use it in.
    I do have a question 🤔 what is a roselle? I've seen one other fella post about a jam made with it. Anyway, take good care! 😊

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is in the hibiscus family! The calyx’s can be used to make cordials and jams and things like that, it’s got a beautiful colour to it!

    I just love the Australian words. And we call it all English. Lol.
    What is a rosel? I've never heard that word.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think they're an Australian Native! they're in the hibiscus family and you harvest the calyx's to make jam or cordial, it has a super vibrant colour to it!

      If It is really lush, I use it as a mulch around my fruit trees, but I also dry some and infuse it in oil for our salves for stings etc :)
