Fun Fact that I learned on my own nature partnership journey: carrots were developed from measly roots into thick and edible human nutrition by selective breeding... but they came in a range of colors, mostly on the beige end, like parsnips. But fairly recent breeding selected for more rich colors and nutrition, like purple! Now, if you ask most anyone, carrots are orange! And the orange carrot was actually bred by a Dutch botanist, in a bid to earn favor from the Dutch nobility (who associate with the color orange, of course)!
Weedy, you have the fruits I want to grow. Mango, mango! Figs! I do not want the pest though. I love beetroot, and yes, that's a beetroot. A nice harvest. Enjoy and take care
They sell little green net bags with pull ties you can put over individual fruit/fruit bunches. Maybe this can help next time :) love your garden❤❤❤ Edit to specify: Amazon sells green mesh fruit protection bags.
A friend recommended a video of yours and I am now enjoying watching more of your videos! Such a relaxed, educated, wholesome, pleasant delivery of videos. I appreciate you!
Weedy, regarding your comfrey - as it's not always in season, liquidise some in a blender with a little bit of water (to help it puree), then thicken it up again with some oatmeal and freeze it in layers. Then, if somebody has a sprain (or other joint injuries) then wrap the stiff sheet of comfrey around the injury and surround with cling film. What always happens with sprains is that the bone is 'bruised' - meaning that the outer layer becomes kind of like putty - and won't heal until it's solidified again. Comfrey contains phytochemicals, such as allantoin, that speed up the fixing process and also numb the pain.
Living the dream brother 💚 You are awesome and I am constantly inspired when I watch your videos. Those veggies look perfect to me. I grow on a small allotment plot in the uk and in my own small back garden about 60-70sq m in total, so my babies don't get as much space to spread, but 4 years in I have learnt alot and get a huge abundance from our little patches. Its such a creative process growing a garden. Beautifully and heartwarmingly jealous of your ability to grow mango, pomegranate etc 😍 Hope to visit yourself and Mrs Weedy someday. Still trying to promote your content to our schools. Will keep you posted on progress. Stay epic 💞
Maaaan I need to pull my finger out and start my gardens properly !!!! ( recently moved to rural NSW on 27 acres from 500sq meters in suburbia 😅 bit of a change ) But I have maybe 3 tiny beds done 🤦🏼♀️ lol
I hope youre enjoying those mangoes. I love it when you go to check or do a small harvest and realise you need a bigger basket. Thats a huge joy for me. The beautiful but cheeky king parrots are eating too many of our tomatoes this year. Hopefully we'll get some autumn tomatoes . The butterflies looked like they could use a little pomegranate nectar . Thank you for sharing Weedy fam❤
@@TheWeedyGarden they come to chat with us regularly but always sneak a snack. I'm going to try a hawk or something kite above the patch and see if that helps .
Hi Mr. Weedy- have you heard of Tera Petra Soil? It was created by the tribes in the Amazon forest. It’s amazing stuff, groups of scientists have tested soils from all over the world and found that the Tera Petra soil was the most fertile soil on earth. It can be replicated too. It’s worth checking out. Happy garden!
Your videos always inspire me to keep gardening. I appreciate the time and effort it takes. I've been watching since the beginning. It's one of the positive things that came from the pandemic. Thank you from Florida U.S.
I just love your garden I live like that grated green mango with lemon is a great salad comfrey is a great straight on garden we give to the earth it gives back .
Great video so jealous of how green it is there. I live in arid country we dont get much rain. Anyway just wanted to let you know what i do with my figs. I got some curtain netting cut some square's sewed 3 sides then put it over each fig then put peg to stop them falling of. Birds dont touch them. I find big netting can get messy fly away in the wind and birds can get under neath .
Awesome beetroot. You'd have to make a huge burger to fit a good slice of that one! Is your pomegranate tree the same age as the mango? We've got a few pomegranate trees that are 5 or 6 years old and have only had a few tiny, dry fruit on them.
It does not make sense to grow comfrey just for compost. Comfrey takes those minerals from the soil, right? You put comfrey in the compost and use the compost to enrich the soil. It makes sense only if you want to move those minerals from a raised bed to another one. Am I wrong?
We wait until the mango's fall by themselves. Gives you the sweetest, dark red mango's that you can't find at the grocery store. Picking them green is a bit sad
