Susan Hills Yeah. Temps dropped this week. Getting around 10 to 13 highs here in Lincolnshire. But back up to low to mid 20s by end of next week. But like I said, this is spring temps. We should be getting much higher mid Summer.

I am growing some sweet beans and they all started to have blighted leaves like my tomato's. One web commentator said they might be short on Supfur, so I put my Blueberry's elemental Sulfur down and the new growth is all clear of blight. Perhaps hay/mulch gardens can be low on Sulfur. Put some under my potted capsicum and bullocks heart tomato as their leaves were blighting too. And the new leaves there are solid green now too!

Oh wow. I'm not too far from yourself ... out in Ipswich but we drop quite a bit here. We'll definitely start getting frosty nights heading into winter and if Stanthorpe have copped a cold day, we feel it here. My poor basil almost had a heart attack a few weeks ago but I got him inside in time. 😁 Other than that, I've got the rest of the herbs ready with framed frost/wind protection setup. 👍🌿

I have a pea recommendation. We grow a few of the traditional peas in our spring and fall but the one that we love to grow in the spring is called "Wando". It is a heat tolerant variety that we are able to grow into a bit of our summer extending our pea harvest for a bit longer. We live in central Georgia in the States and have a wicked long summer season but those Wando will grow for a good 3-6 weeks longer than the traditional peas. Love your videos, wife giggles at me each time she hears your intro. God Bless

@Luke-md7lw 4 года назад

Hey mark! Just wanted to say thanks heaps mate for all the inspiration over these covid times. Since watching ya videos ive set up a decent vegtable garden for myself and am continulaly working towards my dream of setting up some acarage in cairns in the following year or so. Keep it up, your influence deffinitly inspires some of us younger generation who i feel are losing touch with our roots ( no pun intended )

@jasenanderson8534 4 года назад

Brilliant stuff. Kale is growing fabulous right now and it's even in a shaded spot. On the western side of the house I've got a bunch of Japanese radish, lettuce and carrots... All growing amazingly vigorously. Love the range of plants you've got going and it's a great testiment to how easy it is to grow a decent range of food plants over this time. Inspiring stuff. Keep up the videos, loving it. It's great to see my friends trying their hand at doing a little growing themselves and I have shared these videos with them to also inspire them. It seems to be working.

Love the update keep them coming neighbor .

@kgal63 4 года назад

You have inspired me to start a small container garden in my backyard. I have large oak trees so its been difficult to find a place that gets sun at least 6 hrs a day. Fortunate or unfortunate my next door neighbor cut down a strip of woods between us and now i have a sun spot to grow veggies. I have 16 pots with 10 now growing beans sweet potatoes and russets potatoes plus beets and spinach. I have peppers and tomatoes yet to plant. Thank you so much for showing the possibilities.

Good morning Mark. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Great work. I love the multi angles. The wide long shot for location and then you splice in the POV. Well done. Good audio and great gardening. I’m an experimenter too. Just the best way to learn. Also love how OCD you are with seed organisation. Great video. 😁👌

@adamwest1138 4 года назад

We're just West of Ipswich, towards Toowoomba and we're growing Kale, carrots, eggplant, lettuce, bok choy, wombok, peas, snow peas, beetroot, silverbeet, radishes, and more broccolini than we can possibly eat. We have some zucchini and cucumber coming along but I think a frost will eventually get them. Our garden is exceeding our expectations, thanks mark for giving us the motivation to get into it.

Here in America's south-east sounds like we have a similar climate, only difference is you have an Ocean between you and Antarctica which is a weather moderator, while we have a huge Canadian landmass between us and the Arctic which is a big cold collector and produces fast moving cold fronts, which produces hard frost (we call them Alberta Clippers, which also makes us the Tornado Capital of the world in the Summer).

i use a couple of hessian bags filled with hourse muck tied and sunk into a water barrel and left. the smell can get strong but the difference when watering this feed on plants is massive. saves having to top up the mulch all the time. I love watching you're video's and so do my children, keep up the hard work. ;)

I actually live in the tropic coast of North Queensland, live in a small unit complex at first I wanted some extra privacy since my balcony faces a main road but after coming across your channel and a few others I quickly decided to change it to a veggie garden so with the bonus money we've been getting I've been doing just that so when it's all over I'll be more self sufficient and less reliant on others. :)

@abyssal_phoenix 4 года назад

At winter we cant grow as much as you. Over here in the Netherlands frost hits often and it almost rains the whole season none stop. I found that strawberries now tend to stay green and grow more leaves (that helps to make more fruit), I also grow garlic and onions. I am gonna try to grow potatoes too this winter. Since that potato plant of mine is more drought tolerant than all weeds, so maybe it’s also cold tolerant

Hiya Mark , love your channel , I am on the south coast of NSW , my neighbours have been growing and giving me chokos, and as I’m the only one of my family that likes them , several of them had started to shoot ! . I came home from work the other day and my son said that he had planted the triffids! We’ll just have to see how they go , we do get the odd frost here .. never know ! But goodness there’s 4 or 5 plants !!

@elenidemos 4 года назад

I'm further north of you, so I'm still growing cucumbers & squash. They prefer this time of year to fruit in my area, due to cooler consistent temps. Our summer 45°C+ temps really knock most annuals. Perennials do better in my summer temps. Some annuals like Eyptian spinach do great, but most don't. Cucumbers & squash will produce until coldest time (July-August), then continue afterwards, until heat comes back.

@tasgardener7923 4 года назад

rocotos will do well in the cold. I grow them here in Tas and they do well over the winter but you do need to cover them if you get frost. they'll survive it but they don't like it much. if they do get frost burn I just leave the damaged parts on to protect the bush until frosts are over and then cut. Once the plants are established they will fruit most of the year but they you need to keep their roots moist and cool. Mine are huge, around two metres by two metres. I cut them right back down to small plants at the end of winter and they will explode with growth. they live for about 15 years

@laurellewilson8328 4 года назад

Hi Mark ... We live on the Northside of Brisbane and we have grown Choko’s in our backyard garden for years ... but when you plant a Choko from the fruit it’s best to lay the fruit on it’s flat side (horizontal) and half bury it as the vine and roots emerge from the same end ... vine of course grows up and the roots grow down .., we leave the fruit on the kitchen bench to grow the vine about 6” to a foot high and then plant it. ... we have found the White variety difficult to get but we just got 3 White Choko’s from a friend in Cairns so here’s hoping ... but Choko’s are very hardy and I am sure yours will grow well ... Choko’s are a great vegetable to grow and although they can be bland by themselves but they take on the flavour of whatever you are cooking ... a bit of trivia...in the war when pears were scarce the canneries use to preserve the Choko as tinned Pears and nobody knew the difference until they got caught ... anyway they are a great vegetable to grow and the White variety is a little milder and slightly sweeter to taste. Love your channel and we get a lot of hints and great info from your videos. Thanks

@Happy_Smiles246 4 года назад

I’ve been growing chokos for a couple of years and I can definitely assure you those chokos will grow massively (the plant it self can actually be *really* big and really invasive so be careful, it’s gotten to the point they need there own special area or garden bed) after a few months, I’ve had them fruit during all times of the year (all they need is a heavy rain or a constant supply of water) and will climb up any structure and can get really heavy to the point of snapping thick tree branches. I also live in a sub tropical climate in Australia if this helps

@jesseilonen4494 4 года назад

I have lived right next door in Maroochydore and your winter is in many ways similar to your summer, maybe early summer to be exact. Maybe some days it gets hotter during our summer, especially if it's a hot summer and night time temps don't usually get under +10. But I have grown zucchini and corn even during cool wet summers that are more like your winter. You might want to think outside to box and use something black as ground cover that you can remove once temps pick up. I use black plastic and it really makes difference. Also growing tomatoes is easy outdoors although cold tolerant varieties might be the way to go. Also trialing with peppers outdoors. They are maybe slightly less vigorous, but they also grow fast once they get going.

I'm trying to grow a few veggies in pots in my apartment. My onion plant, which self-sprouted, hasn't been looking good. Went to a garden center today and got some blood meal fertilizer. Opened that bag up and WOW, the smell about knocked me over. 😆 Let's see how the onion likes it.

@farmerbob4554 4 года назад

We grow the white Japanese turnips (Hakurei). They are excellent raw, sliced as crudités or browned in olive oil and then braised with a few of the greens. One of our favorite vegetables. I’m in Southern California (zone 10a) and our temperatures are about the same as yours although in opposite seasons. And quite a bit drier in terms of humidity. Average rainfall is about 15” (38 cm)/yr.

@bluethunder1951 4 года назад

Great channel, 👍 im in the process of building more planter boxes to increase our vegetables crops, as the covid19 has driven up the cost at the supermarkets here in Canada, $5 for a small collie flower, and most of the vegetables aren’t even fresh anymore. I appreciate all your tips and techniques, keep safe and see you in the next show.
