Nice.... I am progressively growing from seed. It works in better for succession gardening, and my systems and routines are matured. I can get plugs for 40cents. I have around 80-100 mainly leafy greens in beds at any time, so growing from seeds saves me around $150pa. My biggest tip is to get your systems right. I live in SE Qld, and use high tunnnels.... mesh during winter, and shadecloth or plastic in summer depending on heat and torrential rains. Doing so guarantees higher yields and extended season. The shadecloth delays bolting.
Wow - your garden has developed beautifully. I remember when you moved there + it was quite barren. WellDone. Great to see. ThankYou. How many years have You been there now? ♥️🙏🏿
One chard is enough for 2 people? You need to eat a lot more greens! I've got a 2.4 x 1.2-metre bed filled with Chard and kale and it's enough for 2. Lettuce is great all year round but needs a bit of shade in the hot summer. Still, nice video
You may be growing out of season, and the lettuce is bolting depending on locale. Bolting diverts energy from leaves to seeds and leaf becomes bitter. Put 50% white shadecloth over it if in a hotter climate water from underneath. Top watering can damage the leafs more, encourage pests and disease. Build the bed up so drainage is good. You don't want roots sitting in anaerobic conditions due to heavy rain sitting in heavy soil. Ensure your soil is light with good drainage. compost++, regular compost tea. Most plants don't need NPK fertilizer. they need better soil biology and drainage. Mulch to keep moisture more stable.
So sad this year entire crops got eaten by rats possums. Was going to give up But will try again cause i love to plant things eat when minutes not weeks old
Who cares what they look like? Apparently you have no interest in anything except commenting on the appearance of the female presenters. Perhaps concentrate on the gardening information instead.
@@lilithowl I caught the show on telly on Friday and couldn't help notice that everyone was wearing their Sunday best. Wasn't targeting females. Costa was sporting a very groovy shirt too.
@@ErgonBill Well she is morbidly obese. which is not a great advert for home gardening. Seriously, Australians need to wake up about health and diet. There's zero excuses for being obese. It indicates a profound ignorance about nutrition, end of story.

I like your garden sculptures! Do you have a video where you show these off?

Wow, you've got a beautiful garden. Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Love growing food at home
Tastes so much better when it's home grown
And my chooks produce the best tasting eggs

My lettuce is always bitter. This year I will only grow it on the shady side of taller plants like tomatoes and corn. Does anyone have any other tips?
Keep water supply steady too, and top it up in hot weather.
Thirsty and/ heat stressed plants tend to turn bitter, then bolt.
Found out the hard way.

If bitter, I find it is not as bitter in a salad with dressing (olive oil, apple cider vinegar, tamari - whatever your homemade dressing is)
Great show people 💯💯💯 stay 💪💪💪😊😊😊
hello.... i have limited sun in my back yard with large trees near by.... what is the minimum amount of sun for vegetables please
4 hours direct sunlight works for me in SE Qld.
depends on your zone.
What about planting strawberry and broccoli in Australia?
Great 👍 👌
Is Silver Beet another name for Chard?

Great vid. 👏 what location in Australia is the garden you are in ?
Literally the first thing she says in the video. Adelaide hills.
@@Nigel_Tufnel_11 really, feel silly now. Must have missed it. Cheers.
Sophie looks like a Toorak gardener these days. More Millie. 😉

what a shame that no body takes the time from this channel to respond to questions... shame
GA's lost the plot. Not a calloused hand, or dirt under the fingernails to be seen except for Millie. Respect Millie. ❤
