@@Backyarddragonfruits thank you mate! 👍

@@dougs_urbanfarm 😅 now I have the song stuck in my head. But you're correct

@@dougs_urbanfarm thats a great story. I felt the same while touring through.

@@gliceriacastillo6299 thank you very much. 😀

@@travelchill7816 G'day, I'm still fairly inexperienced so this year I tried something new. I gave them a massive early prune of new growth and some tipping on old branches because I gave lots of cuttings away. Not long after the pruning I noticed a few buds so I then added liquid potash from bunnings once and the other thing I did differently was keep the roots cool with a layer of sugar cane mulch and compost plus I kept trimming off any new growth. It also seemed to be a hotter summer this year. Yesterday I picked a ripe Tricia and Aussie Gold and will upload a video tomorrow. Thanks for watching 👍

@@turoidownunder8410 Hi Tu. Yes there were so many things which I hadn't seen before. 👍

@@hr1893 I picked two fruit just now. I also can't believe having these fruits availiable to us

@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thanks again mate. I was so intrigued by everything that I spotted a few things new to Mark that he hadn't noticed yet such as the Costada fruit. Have you tasted Jabos before?

@joestropicals6760 thanks Joe. It was my pleasure. You're right, inspirational is a great way to describe it.

@ 🙌🏾

@Godjerb for sure mate 👍

@@andrewnyiri ahaaa!! I only noticed it on playback. I was waiting to see if someone noticed it 😅 You must've been watching in 4k for sure! 👌👍😀

@UrbanBounty haha. Yep 4k on a big TV. I picked my first wax jambu today and had a number of bites before I noticed the fruit fly larvae, sure I ate a few.

@@andrewnyiri damn, those fruit fly get into everything.

Easy for picking the figs too.

@jackhart1883 that's what I was thinking too. This is at my friend's garden but it would be easy to pick for sure

Hi Marissa. Is that name another name for the chocolate berry? I will check with Mark. Cheers

@@UrbanBounty yes 😊🙏🏼

@marisaphoenix1893 cool, ok I checked with Mark, and he said that he is going to research how to propagate these plants. 👍

@ that’s great! Pass on my thanks 😊

@@marisaphoenix1893 will do

Thank you mate! Yes I hope Mark does a taste testing on that fruit when it becomes ripe. I hope a bird doesn't get it!

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits 😄 I haven't been nervous trying a fruit since a durian 14 years ago but I was nervous this time for a different reason. I've been fussing over my jabo collection for years now so there was a lot riding on the taste. Massive relief to find out they taste awesome 👌

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp thanks Logan. Yes you are correct that each zone has it's own benefits! Cheers

For sure 👍

@@lyonheart84 yes, when I was first looking for a sugar cane press I found an electric one for a similar price but I wouldn't be able to relax with kids around. There's probably quite a few accidents in other countries with the electric ones. Doug put me onto the ice cream machine and apparently mango is the best but I haven't tried it yet.

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thanks mate! Dragons could be grown commercially in Victoria I reckon

@ 💯 people don’t know

@@PeterEntwistle Hi Peter! Yes they are. I don't think I'll ever get used to their beauty mate

Hello and yes, it is amazing and only a few years ago I had never heard of dragon fruit before. It looks like you have lots of grear vids. I subscribed. I enjoy the UK edible channels very much

Thank you mate, it takes up a small space but gives lots of enjoyment for me and my family. Cheers 👍

Haha, I wish I could have watched it longer too but I had to just get the camera out quickly before I went to work. I'm usually late at this time of year cos the garden looks best early morning. Cheers mate

Yes mate! Great season! 👍

Cheers and thanks, the sugar can is surprisingly hardy to grow too.

😅👌 including the growing of the canes..

@@Anthony-t1d6h thank you for the very kind comment mate. Its a big encouragement for me. Cheers

Thanks mate, it was you who gave me the tip to buy a ninja. Since buying the juice extractor, the sugar cane importsnce ranking climbed up near the top 🤣

It really is good, the trouble is trying to stop eating too much of it! 👍

Thank you Mr MaoSon 🙏

It is great mate. The family gets a lot of enjoyment from the sugar cane now

@@andrewscrivener6732 search brand KeepTpeeK keyboard vaccum on amazon

@@PeterEntwistle hi Peter. Are your purple sugar canes getting thicker now? I was surprised to see them doing well because I was told that only the green is hardy but it looks like they are all strong. I recently put in some black variety canes too. Cheers

​@@UrbanBounty I brought the purple sugar cane into the house for the winter and they have all shrivelled up and dried out. I'm not sure if it will come back now 😢

@PeterEntwistle ahh sorry to hear that. That is a shame. It could be interesting to try the green and see if there is a difference in hardiness

@ Yeah, I would like to try a regular green one. I'll have to see if I can have a go at rooting one. I think it was a combination of underwatering and the dry indoor conditions that caused it to die. I probably should have cut it right back so it wouldn't use as much water. Or maybe left it in the greenhouse with the heater.

@PeterEntwistle if you can get a few canes you could also try to leave one in ground and give it a very thick layer of mulch over the top of the ground

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thank you. I delayed buying one for years but it's getting so much use now and providing heaps of enjoyment. I found another spot for some more sugar cane in the garden now. Sugar cane is pretty hassle free to grow in Melbourne too

@@UrbanBounty man! I need a bigger property 🤪

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder I know the feeling. If I ever won the lottery I would try to buy the neighbours and extend haha..

@@UrbanBounty My thoughts exactly hahaha

G'day mate! The Ninja Creamy is awesome. You first need to process and freeze something then the next day add it to the ninja and somehow it comes out creamy

Hi Daz! Good to hear that you've also been using the creami. Excellent machine. Thanks for dropping by mate 👍

@@marisaphoenix1893 it's so nice in summer and easy to make 😀

@ I need to up my sugarcane game to be able to make it! I’ve had a tiny patch of it trying to grow for 2 years and it seems stunted. Eastern Victoria. Any suggestions what they need?

@marisaphoenix1893 Hello. I don't know too much about them however I planted them in loosened soil, put a fence up near them and I water them a fair bit. I also sprinkle dynamic lifter amongst the canes a few times per year

@@Pat6648 it really is. It's just the right amount of sweetness.

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits hey mate, I'm confident they will grow well in that great spot that you have lined up for them! Once established they seem very tough. Cheers

@@VirginiaFruitGrower thank you G. The sugar cane plant is surprisingly hardy too and makes a great wind break

@@PeterEntwistle thanks mate. Yes, it sure did and I had never noticed the banana plant until I made the video. Cheers

Thank you so much. 😀

@@lyonheart84 Gday Brett, thanks for the nice comment. This footage means a lot to me. I have about 5 hrs of it in all and my grandad made sure to convert it to VHS before he died and my brother got it put on DVD. It's very important I think to preserve these precious things and I highly recommend you get yours converted mate.

@UrbanBounty I have a horrible feeling that we could have several HUNDRED hours of film to deal with 🤪🤪

@lyonheart84 wow that is incredible!! The thing I gound amazing is watching people on the film thst were born in the 1800s. It's hard to comprehend

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits cheers mate. The garden was a big part of their lives and it's kinda filmed in youtube style too lol

Yes. Can see Springvale area always had good soil to grow Fruit

Thanks G

G'day, thanks. Yes I'm the middle one. It was a great time and it was very nostalgic making this one

Me and my brothers had same haircuts as well, great video

@peterbell3610 I'd bring back that style if I had any hair left

Thanks Mark. You still have plenty of memoroes though I bet.

That's true and I'm glad that I found out because most growers only know about the chill hour fruits here. My area gets around 890 chill hours from what I have read about it. My next video will be from my grandfathers old super 8 camera because he used to film his garden in youtube style from the 1950s til the 1980s and when I started making the video the first fruit that appeared was a banana flower around 1960. I couldn't believe it
