Oh Jane is so beautiful she reminds me of my grandma who passed a few years ago... they absolutely loved gardening ad their garden was so beautiful... I recently found pictures of me as a child repotting pot bound plants with her. Made me cry. Watching this lovely lady helps me relive those memories. Thankyou so much
The silverbeet and the spring onion. They are so good. I add them to many meals. Straight from the garden there's like a extra element to them. Eating with them as ingredients is like a super food. Shelf produce is nowhere near as good. Peas are easy too, I chose snow peas this year and have more than I can use.
The ending statements were really powerful! Also put a massive smile on my face 😁 if I could send a photo of me in the yard right now, I would. Pleasant weekend to everybody thanks for the great content Gardening Australia 🇦🇺❤️
I love gardening my back yard and front are full off flowers even though my parents say your buying to much I will be getting native trees and hydrangeas can’t get them any where
This looks fantastic, I live close to this community garden and I think that I should come and say hello. I recently started and apprenticeship in gardens and maintenance but I unfortunately have very little room for my own plants.
I really struggle with gardening, I have some succulents but I kill everything else because I can be inconsistent (because of mental health stuff) ... I'd love a video on what other plants can handle my style (also I am renting so they need to be in pots or movable)
Hey, I know your comment was a fair while ago, but thought I’d chime in. I really struggle with lots of gardening tasks for the same reasons. My suggestions would be to chose plants you are really passionate about or interested in. I struggle a bit with succulents and ornamentals, partially because their needs are inconsistent and partially because when I’m not doing too well I either feel like they don’t need care or that aesthetic plants are “pointless” (they obviously aren’t, just my brain being unhelpful). I think it’s maybe because when I haven’t brushed my hair in god knows how long, aesthetic maybe isn’t my highest priority. 😂 My suggestion is plants that need regular care, but are going to be ok if I forget them for a few days here and there. I’d also suggest productive plants, so that there is a goal. I currently have (all in pots) some spinach, zucchini, herbs, potatoes and tomatoes. I’ve also put them and everything I need to care for them close together in a spot I’m in every single day (same areas of our courtyard where I feed the dog and go out for a smoke). Some will succeed, some will fail, but I enjoy the pottering when I have the energy. Rosemary might be a good option if you want to branch out a little, it’s useful, hardy (once it settles in), and pretty happy in a pot. Raising from seed has also helped me a bit, as it keeps me involved and they change every day. Sucks when the happy little seedlings I’ve been loving, suddenly struggle though. Hope you are well and all the very best.
