I'm going to take you for walk around Mornington today and this this is Monty
who's coming for a walk with us. See the Ducks.... look at the little ducklings...Quack quack
You can tell it's spring now.. last year I actually put a photograph of this up to
ask on, I think it was on my Facebook or Twitter, what the name of this plant is
All the crocuses are coming up, daffodils are starting to come up and I know it's
all upside down for the rest of the world because pretty much everyone else
is going into winter but it's so nice to be coming into spring in Australia.
Houses in Australia are invariably single-storey,
until you get into the city centers, it goes back to the old history where
everybody was given a plot of a certain size.... certain square meteragej-- square
yards and so they tended to build single-story, what are known in Europe as
bungalows. I'm not sure what you would call that in the US or other parts the
world. Comment down below what you call a single-story dwelling. Lemon trees....
the lemons in Victoria are great. This tree over here is bursting with lemons. I
love it when the lemons come into season there's so much you can make with lemons.
I'll tell you what I'll leave.... Have we got a lemon playlist?.... we'll make a lemon playlist
because some of the lemon drizzle cake, the lemon tarts, lemon curds so good. I'll
leave a link to lemon recipes, get and check them out.
Lemon season is here again so it's time for us to start making recipes with
lemons. I said when we were coming out Michele come here! look when we come
out today...Look at the pair of us. I think our kids think we we dress from the local
hippie shop,
very colorful. Whenever we walk this route with Monty, now Monty's a a rescue
dog belongs ...who belongs to my mother. Whenever we walk this area there are
certain spots where Monty wants to stop and pee, same places every walk and he
has this sort of hesitancy you know as he's coming up toward them, he's not sure
if you're going to pull him past or whether you're going to let him actually stop and
do his business. Now I'll show you some of the different barks that we have on
our trees here in Australia. I don't mean barks as in dogs but look at this. I
don't know if you can see just how gnarly and black and this is a eucalypt.
Now I don't know if this is an iron bark I'm not sure but may be somebody who
can...who knows their eucalypts a bit better can tell me and then just over
here completely different another eucalypts are these silver barks, they have
this beautiful smooth texture to them, they're quite unlike trees that I see in
other parts of the world. I don't know if you have this sort of tree where you are.
If you see this sort of thing in other parts of the world comment down below
let me know. It's a blue heeler. What's your name? hello Ned you,ve got
beautiful colours. What is he is he a mix or is he? ...He's a blue Heeler. He is pure yeah I said he
was a blue heeler coming up but he's lovely
Aussie dog, take care. To me Blue Heelers are real Aussie dogs
I've not seen them in other parts of the world, here's another one of those trees
coming up.
Crows or Ravens are the rats of the air. Not a big fan of the Ravens and the
crows they haven't got a pretty caw and they're noisy in the mornings and they
pester all the other the other birds, they tend to always attack them. Now
where should we take you? I know I'm going to take you up to the rose gardens
here in Mornington rose gardens. It's not too far, it's a decent 20-minute walk but
it's well worth it. There's loads of these areas throughout Australia throughout
Melbourne, throughout the whole of Australia, these great public park areas.
The water here, we've got the Ducks again There's loads of ducks in this pond and
there's a kid's skate park over there. We'll come back past it on the way down.This
fellow thinks I've got bread. Now if Monty was allowed off the lead he'd be
in there but they're not, you have just over here this whole enclosure is for
dogs and they can just run and play and that's where we take Monty if we want to
let them chase a ball.
What do you reckon Monty go in there and give them a chase. It's a gorgeous day I've
seen people come down here and feed bread on mass they really shouldn't I
mean literally sacks of bread so that's why the birds tend to come around you.
who's this Oh it's Willow is it. So this is quite a big dog free enclosure not many
dogs here it sort of comes in ebbs and flows, there's a couple more coming in
Guy coming in with what looks like a little french bulldog. Oh leash free
Michele's just reminded me not a dog free. Dog free park would be pretty poor for
dogs but there's a lot of those Labradoodle, cockadoodle lots of those
sort of blended dogs that have now, got their own breed and status. We used to
call mongrels when we were kids but they are beautiful. I find that
remarkable because there's a sign there saying MPRG right next to the
Mornington Peninsula rose garden and it's not, it's the Mornington Peninsula
Regional Gallery which is this place but odd they should use the same
initials as the Rose Garden which is literally just right next door .Now we're
about to see whether or not the roses are in full bloom full season because
this Rose Garden here it's absolutely beautiful when the Roses are all in
bloom. I think at this time of year it's probably not a lot of roses in bloom it
doesn't look too colourful from here. So no it's not can you imagine later on in
the spring when all of this is colorful you know it's absolutely popping with
different types of roses. Now here's an early bird look at this beautiful
Victoria Gold he's been a little bit burnt because there's still some cold
weather so it's getting the frost, there's a little little bug in there
but you can see just how many buds there
are. I mean this is going to be awash with color and just in case you're
wondering how I know the names, they're all labeled. Do you mind waiting there
Monty? you getting bored. so let's have a look around the rose garden see if we
can see if we can spot you any early arrivals. I wouldn't be surprised if
there are some winter flowering or early spring flowering varieties. A month from
now this place will be a rainbow of colors, all different varieties hopefully
if we if we're in this area during the the second half of a spring we'll come
down and and catch all these in bloom because it is absolutely beautiful.
The other big thing this is all free to come in here for the public, just to come,
a little walk, there are places you can sit down. I am determined to get a bit of
color, so we've come to the other side of the entrance of the Rose Garden. Here
where there are I think lupins and many more sort of earlier spring / winter
flowering plants. Take a look now I've just seen something over here that you
only really see in Australia, it's an indigenous plant, the didgeridoo plant
and I've only really seen this grow in Australia. I don't think it grows
overseas it has the most unusual bark it's quite smooth,
a little bit like the trees we were looking at earlier on but it has these
interesting markings. Got one here that's got something that looks a bit like a
boomerang. I often think we could export those to other countries because I've
never seen them growing overseas let me know what you think in the comments down
below. So these roses they haven't been identified we've just got a number and
I'm guessing, I'm guessing they can identify them through genes or something
good anyone want to have a guess. Now I did think these were lupins but
getting closer I don't think they are I'm not super good with my plants but
from a distance they look like lupins but it's certainly not. Just found another
one creeping down here.
Now here is a bird you don't see outside of Australia
that often and they're going to run away because I'm here
but these parrots. How pretty are they hello
and they're probably, you're probably going to nest in this tree and there's a
bunch of coots swimming towards me hoping that I've got some some snacks
for them
Hey guys how you doing? good day for it isn't it
yeah yeah.... who do you watch? huh... I don't know that, who's that. I'm hopeless aren't I
What what does he do? What's his name? Tanner Fox. American is he?
These are the barbecue pits.. kind of cool there's a group over here having a
barbecue so I won't disturb them. All right guys? now yeah. Nice little play
park, lots of little picnic tables, places to park. yeah you can if you want. Kids
love YouTube. YouTube is the future of entertainment or something like it you
know I'm sure there'll be someone to come along and knock it off the pedestal
but they'll always be this sort of social media entertainment because TV, as
far as I'm concerned and it's for me it's been like it most of our lives we
haven't watched television for decades but for the young generation, social
media, social TV is the way of the future and hopefully not too much of it so they
get out, play on the boards like this and enjoy themselves. So.
"Welcome to Steve's Kitchen". "Shout to Raymond Warner".......Beautiful
you guys are stars. Now with the Sun starting to go behind... behind that big
cloud I think I'm going to end the vlog here and of course we're doing the usual
video recipes on Steve's kitchen. I think tomorrow we're making almond milk, we've
got the new smoothie Tuesday series and The Weeknd cooking videos as well. So get
on your social media, share this, put a little sunshine in your friends and
families lives, share the video across and take care and in the meantime we
will see you very shortly. Be good.
