Thanks for your comment, tops and seeds are very slow to grow and not vigorous, traditional planting out is only ever done with side shoot sucker's as shown as they grow quickly and fruit within the year after transplanting.

Hi, we are gardening in north Vanuatu, a small South Pacific island nation

Thanks mate, glad your outdoor 'dunny' as Aussies call it worked out well with FC cladding. You'd be done with 3 sheets on three sides and a door isn't it.

Thanks mate, yeah it's surprising how much you can get from a single bush in the corner of the garden, certainly worth the garden space, we enjoyed growing different kinds too, we had a bush of smaller round white ones in brisbane that was also super prolific for several months, I find smaller varieties can give more than the giant ones, especially with lots of fertiliser and mulch. The long ones are nice to cook too, just cut in half and baked with other veg, yummy. To be honest I'm so encouraged that you are so into growing food now, practicing what we preach about resilience. Hope we can inspire many others to see great value in growing a bunch of thier own quality food, especially in the coming times

@@SimpleNaturalPractical growing up on the farm as a kid was the best lifestyle but as an adult I’ve lived in cement village, it’s nice and rewarding getting back into growing food. I’m going to try and promote your channel. I think the content you’re putting out is exceptional & people need to watch it. So educational.

Yeah what a privilege for children to grow up surrounded by nature and practical life, it's the true education modern society robs so many of. I'm struggling to start to make decent videos and it will be a while before the audio and visuals are half decent, but I wanted to start many years ago, and it's now or never I think, I'll do my first 100, and try get better. I can see how hard it is to squeeze out the time to pump out vids when your not very tech savvy, even if your passionate, it takes a lot to do it consistently and improve. I hope I can be a blessing, there's so much of the fundamental basics of healthy and resilient living that most completely missed in wasted years of unbalanced and deficient education. You could say that about practical business sense and financial know-how too I'm sure.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes it is

Ill try do a vid on what weeds teach us sometime, its complicated but fascinating, i suggest look up what Geoff Lawton teaches on this

No, but I'll look into it

Thanks!

We have Naus fruit here, they are also similar size, a bit smaller and have a larger seed which is spiky, and tastes more sour like a granny Smith and has that more crunchy texture like an apple, Naus also turn more yellow when ripe. To be honest Naus should have the name island apple, this one is much more like a pear. I'll show some Naus when they ripen again

@@SimpleNaturalPractical wow, yeah I have no idea then. What a unique fruit the island apple is.

Yes they do need good watering in dry periods to grow well, but are fairly hardy once established. Glad to hear your tackling gardening challenges somewhere new, how exciting. We are in Vanuatu in the tropical south pacific islands, volunteering at a remote school

Yes the leaves are serated and can cut so good to have leather gloves, my hands are already leathery from construction work and gardening but I'm still careful

Super cool and helpful thanks! I see I commented from a different account…

Cheers mate, I use a good liquid fertilizer with trace minerals, a little sea water added, and mulch the weeds and grass down regularly
