Hey I'm John! Subscribe to follow me on my journey through my 20's as I share my love for tropical landscape design, cooking and travelling!
I recently finished my bachelors in Design Architecture and am looking forward to some of my design projects coming up at home both to my house and land.
I live on an acreage north of Sydney, Australia in a coastal town. I am interested in expanding my vegetable gardens and fruit tree collections to grow my 'food forest' garden while keeping with my tropical aesthetic.
I hope to share my authentic lifestyle and to inspire and entertain you through my videos, while continuing to grow and learn myself.
I’ve not really thought about that. I’ve thought about doing it in Australia. I went skiing in Canada in 2020 just before Covid and I loved it. I’d like to at least visit again one day
@@JohnDeMartin It's a big sacrifice in terms of being away from friends / family, and pausing a career. But I've personally found life a bit boring and repetitive now that I've returned to Australia. You've got plenty of time to consider it. Maybe a winter season in Australia could be a good trial run.
@@JohnDeMartinit’s actually considered one of the most dangerous runs in the world due to it having nearly 70 percent of the mountain on it at once and nearly all being beginners it’s very dangerous
every sweet dish NEEDS a pinch of salt to really lift up any Aromas I promise You it’s the exact right kink, same with salty dishes always a pinch of sugar
Thank you! No I'm lucky I live on the east coast of Australia and never get frosts. It very rarely drops below 8 degrees celsius (46f). I believe in my area though if you were to travel inland say half an hour there would be occasional frosts. Being close to the ocean keeps the temperatures pretty mild.
@@JohnDeMartin Lucky you! Here on the east coast of Spain, although rarely, there could be some light frost in January. The varieties I have planted in the ground hold up well, but who knows if others could be too harmed or even die.
@@lmarts once they’re a bit bigger they should be ok. If it’s only a short frost you might just experience the ends dying back but they should reshoot in spring. I find the red frangipanis dislike the cold more than the typical white and yellow.
" ... my local garden store Bunnings ..." The Wesfarmers group ... which profited mightily from #ScottMorrisons free publicity for Bunnings for his YEARS as PM ... and which actively damaged other smaller local garden stores. Worth thinking about.
Definitely recommend using compost and manure to add nutrients to the soil over potting mix. Potting mix isn’t the most natural ingredients for outdoor soil. Compost and manure have way more benefits for the garden and plant nutrients.
Nice job, except when you took a few of the prawns out the pan, they look a little bit undercooked nothing to worry about since sushi exists i’m just saying for future unless you were planning on finishing off when you combined everything either way. Good job
Thanks. I just rewatched it and realised I didn’t show putting them back in. I take them out a little under cooked then add them back before I put the pasta in. I take them out so they don’t overcook while the veggies cook. They finish cooking at the end when the sauce and pasta combines in the pan.
Not such a big deal as heaps of us lived there for years free of charge as construction workers. The place was heaps more fun and welcoming on Keith Williams watch. Now it's like an expensive suburb. YUCK
