how's it going everyone so for today's video I'm just going to be giving you
guys a bit of an update around the garden I know that you haven't seen this
back just an up general update on how this back garden is doing as well as
some of the veggies out the front so I just made a couple of clips over the
past few days that I've just put together just to give you guys a bit of
a look around and see how things are doing and I do also just want to quickly
apologize that I didn't put a video up last weekend I was really hoping to but
I was very crook last week and wasn't able to film and edit and upload a video
but there will be another video coming out this week which I will try to get
onto tomorrow so make sure you stay subscribed if you haven't yet for that
and also while I'm on that subject if you're watching this like oh this is one
of the first videos of mine that you're watching and throughout this video you
like it make sure you click that subscribe button there'll be a link in
the description that you can click on or in the actual video in the bottom right
hand corner you will be able to see this little icon that you can click on and
that way you stay updated in for future videos so I'll stop jabbering on and
I'll take you guys and see how the garden is doing and I will catch you all
at the end okay so I'll start off here with the watermelon and it's gotten
pretty big growing really nicely and it is time to really put out a lot of these
nice pretty petite flowers as you can see around here the thing is I see a lot
of the male flowers but it doesn't appear to be as many female flowers
which is a bit of a problem unless I'm just not seeing something right but
that's okay the second plant did die it just never took off that well and so
it's unfortunately only this one this sugar baby watermelon only is doing
really well so hopefully we'll get some more some melons from that and here
we've got some basil this is actually coming back
we saw the Facebook post that I made probably a couple months ago or
something like that now they got really hammered but now they've toughened up a
bit and I've been starting to pick a few of
leaves for meals which is awesome because basil is my favorite herb of all
time so that can grow heaps more that would be awesome and then that way I'd
be able to make some pesto and things like that this is just another that I
transplanted from my the veggie patch down at my course which I've now
finished which is awesome so that is a habanero chili from see there have a
narrow chili that I got from garden center it was actually a half price was
on the discount shelf but with a bit of fertilizer and water it just took off
and it's doing really well this is the corn after I don't know how long it's
been but it's growing really well I mean after all it is is a grass and grasses
grow very quickly but I'm super stoked with how these are growing oh I so
planted some beans around probably I think about to each around each of the
corn just so I can grow up even though I think the beans are actually a dwarf
variety but they can just happily grow among the corn and so we'll get some
beans from them soon hopefully as well I planted those about five days ago I
think next we're sure the tomato this is doing reasonably well as you can see
it's definitely reached the top of the stakes now so it has no more room up top
still putting it out some nice flowers and I have knows the flowers are looking
a lot better than they were after giving it a bit of the sulphate of potash which
it needed that potassium so it's got some nice trusses of tomatoes that is
the biggest one right there I know this is the mortgage lipstick variety so it's
supposed to get pretty big the tomatoes said I'm trying to break my Fred pause
one of my granddad's his record is a set of a single Twila of this variety is one
kilo so I'm trying to beat that but it's doing reasonably well I just think I
need to make sure I keep on top of the fertilizer it's getting plenty of water
learn blueberries these are doing quite well if you saw my Instagram posts I
made a few just about some nutrient deficiencies that iron is pretty much
gone and see some bits of it there but otherwise it is looking a lot healthier
the death tips have stopped in the new which you cannot see along there which
is good and they're growing very very happily which is awesome boiling down
the back is my zucchinis so I planted these think about a month ago now and
they just got smashed at the start by Slade as I thought it was the slugs and
snails came out here one morning and found that sliders were just chewing off
the leaves and stuff so it's doing okay it's coming back but there's no flowers
on there yet there's a few little signs of flower buds along there as you can
see but yeah I just got a mitt they're not attacking them now which is good but
yeah compared to the other two I bought four zucchinis planted two here and two
over in a different garden bed and I'll show you the comparison right now okay
so here we are at the zucchinis now these Keeney's were planted at the exact
same time as the ones out the back and you can see what the difference does
when you don't have pests nibbling at them so this is the first zucchini which
is flowering today which is awesome so I love zucchini I'm looking forward to
picking heaps of these guys so within probably two weeks I reckon when we
start to really pick a lot so now over here to where the ginger is doing not
too well actually as you can see it does have a chute that's gone up and the
leaves shriveled now this was a sort of fool growing leaf it was very small was
only like the size of my finger or so a bit less than that it was about that
wide and then it just sort of died from the margins inward and yeah it's it
doesn't seem to be doing too well I did see another chute which is right there
that's just coming out I think that's been nibbled off by some sliders or
something like that and same story for this one this shoot is actually
completely died back but I think it is sending out some more soon but really I
don't know why exactly it's probably just not the best conditions and I know
I have been a bit slack with the water so that probably hasn't helped then
along here I have got some spring onions that I just replanted from my veggie
plot for the TAFE course that I was doing because now that's finished so I
just replanted those straight back in because there's no point in just wasting
wasting them then all the lettuces are going to seed I will be keeping only
seed from a couple namely this one which is a cause which did the best out of the
causes and then probably one of these like curlier sort of lettuces because
they were quite nice as well and then along here we have the broccoli which is
about eight months old and it is still sending out our shoots so that is
awesome this has been here for most of the year can't remember exactly when it
was put in but it's been here for a very long time Souter is doing very very well
that's just a little silver beet that's going to seed and a lot of the pyrethrum
plant and oh it's not edible but that is absolutely everywhere then around this
place we have lots and lots of different nectarine and peach seedlings that I've
just come up from the stones that were in the compost and they've just sprouted
from the soil or in Germany or I should say along here we have a volunteer
pumpkin not a hundred percent sure which variety it is look like it's starting to
get a bit of a fungal disease which you can see from those spots hopefully it'll
be alright though so yeah that looks like it's gonna start flowering soon
because there's some flowers in here if you can make them out then along the
back there we have a volunteer tomato then over to the beans which are doing
very well it's still I hope there we go that's a beautiful one right there which
you can see so yeah lots and lots of beans which I've been coming in here of
a few days and just having a munch they haven't even made it to lunch or dinner
I've just been eating them as I come out here as a snack and then I have a few
potatoes along here that I did plant my selves these armed volunteers actually
did plant these two they are doing really really well appointed these I
think two or three months ago time gets away
real quick so it's probably more three so they should be almost ready have a
bit of a scratch that's right I did see a small potato
much it was a fairly fairly sized one the other day so yeah hopefully I'll be
able to leave these in for a bit longer and then dig them up and see what I
whatever harvest we got now around some of the fruit trees so this is one of the
dwarf peach which you can see there is lots and lots of fruit up there we have
covered it with the netting just because of the birds but there is plenty of
fruit everywhere we actually had to thin out like more than half of the fruit
that was just so much on there you know this is another mini peach variety
haven't seen as many there's just one right in there it's a bit dark so it's
hard to see but there is some in there so hopefully we'll get some lovely
peaches from those which I'm looking for to a few other people around this area
they're already harvesting some peaches which is surprising actually
yeah I'm looking forward to picking our own this is another peach variety so
some nice fruit coming along here this one is this variety which I forgot the
name I might pop it up on the screen if I can remember this peach variety is
gently supposed to be ripening around Christmas so hopefully they are ripe
within a few weeks but yeah now this is quite a tasty one as well I believe it
is a whitefish I can't remember what the top my head but yeah this is looking
really really good so again we should have some more lovely peaches and here
we just have a kaffir lime and he's putting on some new fruit which is nice
and then also along the back we have a lemon I think it is a Meyer lemon from
memory but as you can see that's a nice big lemon there there's a few others
towards the base if you can make them out and then along here we have a golden
queen peach so this is a yellow clingstone peach we have quite a few
fruit on it this year they are looking quite nice and this is
the variety that they use for tinned or canned peaches and they are very very
good at preserving they make a delicious preserved peach so we've still got some
from last year that we're still eating and then here we have a apricot so I
think this is just a Moorpark variety but this is doing quite well also this
year we actually had good conditions around the blossoming time and so we've
got plenty of fruit as you can see the birds already having a bit of a garden a
bit of a mark in that one but yeah now we should have plenty of apricots which
is awesome unfortunately this one does have bacterial grossest I had noticed as
it was growing some of these tips were dying back and had some cankers which
the SAP was bleeding from so that's no good but really it won't kill it
straight away my slowly killer over a number of years but we do have a lot of
apricots this year which is awesome so there you go guys that gives you a
beautiful look at how everything's been growing lately so again a rule sorry I
didn't get that other video but I will be posting it this weekend I haven't
filmed it yet but like I will be posting the video that I had planned for last
weekend this weekend for you who stuck around this long I will give you a bit
of a hint it's to do with one of the fruit trees that I mentioned but to do
it I just have to wait until this hot weather passes because we're having a
short heat spell today in tomorrow so anyway thanks for watching if you liked
