I know I said I would keep my gardening videos shorter after my allotment episode but I got carried away again… 🙂
In this video, winter is just one day off here in the subtropics therefore temps are ideal for many different plants. The following food plants are shown and discussed briefly: Avocados, artichokes, strawberries, several herbs, tomatoes, eggplants, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, capsicum (sweet peppers), kale, cucumbers, spinach, peanuts, beetroots, asparagus, potatoes, zucchini, squash, sweet potato, grapes, and more.
Also, I show how I raise seedlings using half toilet rolls as biodegradable pots and whinge about my little Willy Wagtale mate.
Thanks for watching!

Those self seeding cabbage are terrific.The corn looks great considering.Cute little birdie you are "feeding." YOu have all kinds of veg popping up all over the joint! : > )
Lovely garden. Thanks for sharing.
Man, you've got a lot growing on there, brother! Looks great! Loved the video intro!
What your secret to growing pea nuts I keep trying and nothing happens lovely update and have a blessed evening
Hey mark, green with envy again! Have you tried ripe near me for your excess eggplant? I haven't used it but have browsed to see what is available near us. You can list it as free or for a fee.
Really fantastic growth mate. I'm dead jealous. Hmmm… I'd love to have a crack at peanuts as well.
You have answered my question on blight Mark ! I would have thought you would never be affected by it ? What are the lowest temps you go down to in winter ? It's funny to hear you saying cooling down at 26 oC !!
What an incredible amount of work you have done Mark– lovely gardens thanks for sharing !
Your avos are doing great. I get excited about strawberries, love watching them grow. Have you got a artichokes harvest video? If not, can you do a future vid when you harvest them, …please. I don’t know much about them. Oh yum cucumbers. I love the self-seeding plants. I found a couple of tomatoes around my cold compost so I will transplant them when they get bigger somewhere warmer around my yard.
I have three capsicum bushes with fruits on and they are still producing more. My brassicas are growing but had some of leaves attacked by bugs. I sprayed the leaves with soapy water. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour around your garden Mark. Thanks for sharing this vid! 😀
Love your videos, Mark. Great tour. Your garden is fabulous.
That's a great looking hybrid tom Mark.. Have you thought about taking a cutting to keep it going? That corn looked impressive even if it is stunted, very impressive.. That's one cheeky bird mate..
Hope winters been kind to you there..
Cheers Mate..
I'm a bit late but just popping to comment on how much I'm enjoying your clips. Your garden looks great & must keep you very busy. That Reo mesh is a great idea & one I haven't come across before. I think I may just borrow it & get one in at some point.
Man, your garden is friggin beautiful!
Gotta love the background sounds!!! Beautiful garden!!!
This is an old video, but next time you have too many eggplants, try too make a dish called "Makdous". Search for more information… It's a great appetizer, as long as it doesn't ferment too much and gets sour. 🙂
Your garden is so inspirational!
did you make those timber barrell tubs?
What's the self seeding lettuce?? Curious to know?? Cheers!! :-)!!
This is very inspiring, the thing that really caught my attention was the cooking pan you have your seedlings in. I have a similar pan in my bag of stuff to donate to charity that I now have a new use for – along with the toilet paper roll cores cut in half. I'll have to start saving those. Many thanks!
Love your videos, Mark! The longer the better!
toilet rolls are the best for seedlings, makes transplanting much easier,
To be fair, closely grown plants give more habitat spaces for insects
I end my day with you. This is my time, by myself and your show makes me happy. Did my raised beds while hubby did the large part with tractor. Youve given me so many tips. Love love love
I have two gardening friends who use organic techniques. They both swear by two insect control blends. The first is as you mentioned: A combination of oil and dishwashing liquid but often with the addition of a drop or two of hot pepper sauce (They both use Tabasco since we're in Louisiana where it's made.). The second technique is a blend of water and pouch tobacco. They blend the two together in a food processor until they tobacco is pureed, then gradually thin it out with water and spray it directly onto the plants.
Love your channel. You are amazing!
I. Having trouble finding untreated wood for my organic rasied beds as treated wood is not aloud in organic beds and has chemicals in it
