The live chat was popping today! Thank you so much for your support and suggestions I really do appreciate seeing so many familiar names each week! 💚 Whos excited for Feijoas?? It may not be for a few weeks I will wait and see when they are ripe 🤗
Hey Holly! I understand how exciting Autumn can get. It is still hot where I am but I just can't help getting out there. I have a 48 cell tray of seedlings to go out into the garden. I have about 4 sprouting ginger waiting to do the same, so I am super excited. I just wish that work would settle down and let me go outside when the weather is just right. Love the new show format and your purple overalls. Prince would be so proud! Cheers!
Great video and so much useful info thank you! Yay you got lime verbena 👏🏼. I managed to find a bunch of different varieties of mints online and can’t wait to order some (esp berries and cream mint) when they have stock! I also saw feijoas in the fruit n veg shop today and got so excited to try some 😂. You’ve got me hooked and I even bought a feijoa and strawberry guava tree recently 😆👍🏼 Not sure if you get these in Perth but Beach Cherry or Lilly Pilly are natives and good hedging trees and the berries are edible. Chickens or quails for your slater problem 🐓🐥😊
I'm in USA zone 7b and I don't know if the woodlice behave differently between climate zones, but I've found that they mostly go after my sick or diseased plants and leave the healthy ones alone. I find a lot of them in my compost pile, which is where they're supposed to be, and anywhere that I've placed unfinished compost. I can't direct sow anything in my garden because of other pests, so I transplant just about everything, which might be a good idea if the pill bugs keep attacking young plants.
A lady from work brought in some guavas this week that were pink in the middle. She has 5 trees. She planted one, but the others popped up on their own. My Philippino work friends said to try with a bit of salt. It was so yummy. My guava tree is too young to fruit, but im looking forward to it.
Ok this is probably a dumb question, but if you're growing sweet potatoes under your fruit trees, wouldn't they interfere with the tree roots? You were saying that your feijoas have lots of shallow roots, for example. Do you keep the sweet potatoes away from certain trees, or how do you manage this?
Can confirm that Canna grows great in Victoria (I'm down South). I realised last week that ive got a tonn of it growing on my new property. This plant of the week was absolutely perfect timing because ive been meaning to research how to use it.
Also, its a big yes on a Feijoa episode.
