Thank you for always being so inspiring and honest, it's so refreshing and helpful. I'm struggling with the weeds this year, and sales are way down and theft from my stand is up. I'm debating stopping growing flowers and growing veggies instead next year. Onwards and upwards!
You are doing an amazing job. Despite the burnout and the wallabies some plants are still growing. Keep on focusing on the wins when the going gets tough. Thank you for sharing with us 💚
I love watching your honest video's Phaedra. I don't have a garden now so watching your videos helps me cope with my dreary life in Adelaide. I'm 72 and the chances of having a garden are zero. I look forward to your updates.
AIR BNB FARMSTAY HOBBIT HOUSES FTW 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Phaedra, I got the unicorn zinnias from Floret and they germinated well but a seed so expensive I wasn’t taking any chances with and planted them in a huge pot. They are flowering well and I like the colours but I really prefer the Floret celosia it is absolutely gorgeous (Spun Sugar) I’ll be very interested in your view on the floret zinnias and is it worth the hype.
I’m pretty sure that’s a spaghetti squash, it looks like it to me and also it rang a bell when you said it, I think you told us in another video. The Nispero tree is a called a Loquat in Australia. They grow really well in Kalgoorlie and Perth and we picked loquats in Albury so I think they grow well there too. It has fruits about the size of a lychee with soft fuzzy yellow skin, translucent flesh and big glossy dark brown pits in the centre. They’re very juicy and sweet. They don’t sell them in the shop because they bruise too easily.
Great video. Love seeing how much the garden bed in front of the shed has grown and all your hydrangea cuttings. Looks great 😊 ((Heidi))
Thanks for sharing amd doing a garden tour. With such slow growth on the dahlias, could you have mites, which are rampant everywhere this year?
I actually finally visited Beechworth when I was down to visit family. Thanks for the reminder/inspiration recently 🙂
I'm with you with the carnation chabaud mix. I've lost count of how many stems I've snapped because of the nodes 😢 and i thought they're supposed to be giant as well? I got teeny tiny flowers with mainly singles 😅 the only consolation is how amazing they smell. Do you get fragrant ones too from the wholesaler?
Also, can I tempt you to sell the seeeds of that particular variety of feverfew on your website? 😁
Great watching this video. Thankyou for sharing Phaedra ❤
Everything is looking amazing ❤

Cut up the green unions and just freeze!
Phaedra this has been by far the hardest year for us. Last year I was covering garden beds with rain jackets and could water with the hose to keep everything going, but this year the hot NW winds have just made our beds dry out like crazy. The water tanks are all now at 1/2 full and as we still have weeks of heat coming there has to come a time when water preservation for bushfire has to take president over watering the beds. We’ve had to put a piece of shade cloth across the centre of our high tunnel to save out strawberry plants that grow in there, and the temp even with the walls and ends open has been reaching over 50c. Today Ive finally had to admit defeat just slightly and all of the high tunnel strawberries are being placed into large plastic vats so that when we water there will still be water under them to drink, the field strawberries due to lack of water seem to have hit the skids a little too. I stand back and watch everything being hit by the wind and it truly makes me sad. I have one last tray of floret zinnias to put out which thankfully once established don’t need as much water. No markets have responded for me to take our flowers and no one is buying them from the new flower stand I have made, even the one store that we had our flowers in doesnt use air conditioning on these hot days so i found our flowers all dead in their vases and still on display, one would think that she would take them off show but alas no. I ran my lolly shop for 15 years and can honestly say i never felt this exhausted or deflated. There just doesnt seem to be any rain coming anytime soon. With lupus I know I am pushing all of my physical boundaries, maybe its time to just open the field to you pick and let people come in and cut their own flowers. I suspect soon its going to get to a stage where i am going to have to get real with myself and decide whether this has been a dream to follow but has begun 20 years too late.
Garden is progressing well. Happy New Year. ❤❤❤
The weather has been an issue , so hot . I am adding more rows for veggies . For the roadside stand. I think it’s the demand presently. Nice mix8ng veggies in with the flowers ! God bless ! Just hang in there !
