Very nice moments in the garden !

so peaceful watching this... thank you for sharing! inspiring me to get back in the garden :)

They are supposed to be a very hardy variety of pumpkin

With your hardwood cutting have you tried honey as a rooting hormone since using it I have had much better results. Like you no food at the moment other than onion greens. The frost of the last week has killed a lot off the rainbow chard is still growing well as are the onions and garlic.I will be late in my planting this year as I hope to be away .here in the Dandenong ranges the weather has been very cold so not much growth or yard work the calendula are still flowering much to my surprise and bulbs have started to flower nerines nearly finished and the jonquil just started like yours. Just found your channel at last I am getting to find Australian gardens not USA or uk nothing wrong with them except I want more info on Australian time lines, have found a couple of Victoriaian ones thank heavens.

Relaxing video. Thankyou Robyn. We truly love our gardens and I, too, am enjoying the slow pace in the garden during Winter. I live in Melbourne Inner North and we are finally getting some rain. The soil was so dry. I harvested 10kg of limes, and boxes and boxes of lemons. We're enjoying the harvest of our oranges and mandarines. Winter is a beautiful season when you look close enough. It can easily be frowned upon. Happy Winter everyone!

Good video ❤

Thanks for propagation tip.😊

❤❤❤

I should have listened to your video before I started mine yesterday. I had some old soil in some outside pots and put it in my bin before I put in my compostable food then added more soil. I see now I've done it all wrong. Do I need to empty this and start over?

Woulda been great if u linked to the bin u use

Woolies bags are so handy for paths! Nice and consistence size/thickness. I keep a box full of flattened bags for sheet mulching/paths.

Love a garden makeover! You are glowing ❤😊💕🌻

we've been getting temps down to -4 here! So cold!!

I did find it very helpful however, the sound was in speed volume, so I had to really listen closely to understand you

im not a flower farmer but i also love jesse from bare flower farm. shes awesome.

Hi Robyn, yes that is a type of Dichondra or commonly known as Kidney Weed. Take it easy. Your garden is looking great.

Hi ya Robyn looks a bit cold in the morning, things are nice looking, you are the 2nd person I follow that is pregnant with Bub due in November,take care and stay safe cheers from Qld 🪱♻️🥀🥬❤️

As a gardener in a high rainfall area with lots of clay I do two things. I raise everything I plant. I only dig the hole for the tree or shrub that is half the size needed and then build up soil into a mini raised bed. I then mulch it really well. I've not lost a shrub to being waterlogged since I started doing that. I have also dug a drainage trench to the edge of the block and it runs the water off to the drain next door.

We got hit with our first real frost last night. Luckily, the only things that seemed to have noticeable damage were potatoes in pots. It's probably due to their location I guess. I've got a big cleanup planned for tomorrow. Don't give up on that rhubarb it might come back. I had one I thought the crown had rotted but it regrew around the original crown. Cheers!

It's been ages since I saw your notification come up... so glad I've found you again. Congratulations on the baby news. I think the ground cover is actually a native called Dichondra. Probably the microcalyx variety... I prefer the dichondra silverfalls and I actually plant it as a grass replacement. You might find the runners don't die under mulch... Your garden is looking great... I'm in the subtropics and it's the cooler dry season so I think it is the best time of year to garden.

Do you store tomatoe foliage in cooler?

Do you think that having the veggies at the market attracts more flower customers?

If this helps, potatoes are like tomatoes, they are determinate or indeterminate. You don’t need to top up the determinate kind as they only grow in one layer (just make sure they have enough cover towards the end so they don’t go green). The indeterminate kind will grow in many layers as you cover. Really enjoy watching your channel 😊

Such a nice share.

Ok, I’ll give it one more go, I do not have a good record with potatoes.

Lovely video as always Robyn. Hope youre all keeping well

I hadn't realized your soil had so much clay content. You've obviously done a brilliant job at improving it. Do you have any fruit trees planted in the clay? I had been wanting to plant an orchard in my backyard, but have just discovered that perhaps I should have taken up pottery instead of gardening, as we also have very high clay content, similar to what you showed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'd love to hear your advice on planting fruit trees on a site like this. Is it worth attempting to improve the soil if it's heavy and often waterlogged clay? I'm starting to think of importing some soil and building mounds right on top so it has some chance at drainage, but I'm worried about tap roots reaching hard pan and the trees dying a few years down the track. I really don't want to go down the raised bed avenue, but maybe I'll have to. Oh, hearing about your slug problems... I heard a great tip from Angela of Parkrose Permaculture on UA-cam (also a great channel!). She mentioned she'd had success with deterring slugs by putting hair cuttings down around your vulnerable plants. I've been cutting my family's hair since covid, so we get regular trimmings for the garden and the daisies and snow peas and sweet peas have all either avoided or seen a drastic reduction in their slug pressure. Hope it helps you too. Lovely video. Thank you!

Cardboard can contain toxic adhesives and may be treated.

Salvias are one of the easiest plants to propagate I’ve found! We do ours at any time of year apart from when it’s super duper hot (I’m in a similar climate to you). The one you have there, Mexican Sage/Velour is one of the easiest to strike cuttings from too ☺️

Ohh thanks for showing your seed storage box! Great idea, I’ll have to make a trip to Kmart. Haha I also look very random with whatever layers I can find during work days in winter! Who cares aye! 😂

I used this recipe to make some rosella jam out of some wild rosella plants that are abundant on my 90 acre block in the NT. It is delicious! Best jam ever. Im blown away. Thankyou for sharing this!

That set up for the podcast and editing looked so cosy ☺️ it’s 19c with a feels like of 13c here right now and I am not okay! Ha ha

Go to the daller tree. Or a used store for boxes and baskets

Gardening fashion is the best. I went to a working bee for replenishing the gardens at my kids' school this morning and everyone got to see my very best gardening attire. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Yes yes yes to the cork screw compost turner. They are life changing! I bought one shortly after I moved into this property, where we have a big liquid ambar tree, which drops masses of leaves every year. This deciduous tree has completely changed my composting game. With having an abundance of browns that I can gradually add to the compost over the year, the compost is never soggy anymore. I can't recommend it enough. Fertilizer Friday is Genius! I'm borrowing that one. 😊

Cold here too in Brisbane

You have a wonderfully peas-ful voice. Seriously, I could listen to you for hours.

Anyone know where to get Kent pumpkin seeds in America?

I’ve loved watching you grow Ooma’s garden while I start my own homestead. I’m a little sad that you are going to move, so I hope you are going to another amazing place and that you’ll continue to develop whatever land you’ll steward. I’ve learned so much from you on my own journey, thank you!

Hi Robyn hope you r keeping well now….just wondering if you will be able to dig up most of your plants and trees etc when you make your move next year. Do you know where you are going to and if so how big is your property..all the best ..Gil

Yep, I feel for you. I think Husky, and the Basin got more than Nowra or Berry. Moss Vale really looked waterlogged Friday

That was so much water! Eeep! You've done so well with how you've arranged things in a way that it doesn't all get swept away. Kudos. I was wanting to ask if you have any fruit trees and if so, how they're faring after this most recent deluge. We have heavy clay soil too and I hadn't realized that where I want to plant all the fruit trees used to be a creek bed. The local council diverted the water into pipes under ground several years back, but there's still a lot of water that collects in that area. I'm hoping to build up hugelkultur style garden beds to plant the trees in, hoping that this will be sufficient to prevent them from getting too waterlogged. Do you have any experience with this? I'm worried that all the trees will die from being too wet. So glad you're feeling so much better and the nausea is subsiding. Second trimester can be fantastic.

Incredible (here in SA we have had 32 mls/ and one of the driest autumns’ on record!) always love your videos Robyn.

🌧️😮

Wow lots of water, I know being in Sydney it’s been super wet

I love watching all of your videos, Robyn. You are a wonderful gardener. Do you think it is too late to sow these cold season seeds you that have talked about in this video, in early June? You mentioned that you used to live here in Sth East QLD. I live near Dulong on the Sunshine Coast. We have a cooler microclimate here, as we are away from the coast by about 16km, in the foothills of the range. Our nighttime temps are below 10 C. and between 14 to 22C by day. July will be colder, unless it rains.

Loved the tangents ❤❤

You realize corrugated cardboard (most boxes) is glued. Not something I'd recommend using.
