Hello Marty I’m glad you didn’t mind was just wondering how you where😊 Praying for you too buddy🙏 Weather is shocking today 40c In Western Sydney and all that rain🥲 The Grass with all that rain…😊 Already have Garlic Coming up and it’s only January onions still going mainly whites and reds browns all harvested. Hello to Shirley and Karin😊
The heat, humidy, the drenching rain and the thunderstorms, yep, Mart, we've been experiencing this in Sydney, too. The cold? No. Not here. Sometimes comfortably cool, but the those times are fairly rare. You right re things getting better - they will. All the best, son.
Start with everything and harvest what makes it. Try to always have roots in the soil. Living ground cover ( perslain) it is also very nutritious in salads or raw, it only has one taproot and doesn't set roots off branches, it grows and spreads fast, it is succulent like, and is very controllable and has a cooling effect due to it being naturally full of moisture and it's delicious as well. Happy hot gardening everyone.
omg yes Marty I am in Adelaide and the weather as you know is weird...... my blackberry bush and rashberries are taking so long to actually fruit..... sweetcorn, zuccini's etc, the only thing that'`s really growing really well are all my chilli plant and carpricums..... I even planted some long purple beans, they are starting to grow.... I guess we will get there thanks for your Vvlog.
Thank you Marty, I needed to hear this. I’ve been feeling like ripping out my garden this year. But, I figured that better to have some harvest than none at all
Marty your description of the weather is spot on. Climate Change has messed with our summer. My tomatoes are doing much better than last year. The cucumbers & Zucchinis are enjoying this strange weather. Beans not so much
Marty in trying times like these , I’m in central west NSW and we cop it all as well ,it’s wasn’t long ago we copped the biggest mice plague going and destroying farmers crops and every house hold garden and even eating the wires out of motor cars and machinery , now it’s weather going barmy , I wonder about maybe investing in a green house or two for small garden beds and potted veggies could be a saver from the scorching outdoors heat as we been getting here to , I just finished watering 10:00 pm at night they were wilted badly so they should hopefully pick up by morning , I have decide on greenhouses maybe worth a shot , good luck .👍
Interesting you say that about a greenhouse. I am considering something along those lines now for the future. Been building some vertical covers for my underground worm farms. About to head out and film them now. Stay tuned!
Terrible growing this year, grasshoppers galore,mildew,Tom's impossible to grow.Even had a difficult time getting my seeds going.4 lots of attempts with corn , indoor and direct sewing managed 4 plants. 2 eaten by who knows what and 2 cobs eaten when nearly mature.After 40 yrs growing veg ,am about to give it a miss.Have said that 3 times this year but lovel home grown.Will just have to struggle on lol.
I'm down South in S.A. myself, and I've had a bit of a mixed bag here this year with my tiny vege garden that I grow in a few pots, and some little raised plastic beds on legs I got from Bunnings. I only have a wee little courtyard at my place so its the best I can do. my tomatoes have been my biggest disappointment, they all started off really well and grew quickly, and looked like I was going to get really good crops. unfortunately after they had produced a few tomatoes, they have started wilting and yellowing, and I dont know why. my Sister and Brother in law have a couple acres in the country, and so have a beautiful vege patch, and they've had the same issue. yet my brother and his wife only live 5 minutes from where I do and their tomatoes have been going gangbusters...so go figure. most of my other veges have been doing ok, and my dwarf citrus trees that I grow in large pots have been doing well..my native finger lime, which is only just over a metre tall and not quite 3 years old has an amazing crop this year, so I'm happy with that. my mini nectarine tree which is only about 80cm tall so far produced a beautiful crop of the best tasting nectarines I've ever eaten. my strawberries have been a bit meh this season, though what I have got have been nice. my Rhubarb is the best its even been, cant keep up with it. Blueberries, while small were really nice with an excellent crop. chiles ( Tabasco, Joes Long Cayenne and normal Cayenne, and Firecracker ) are doing well. Chamomile was the best I've ever had. Turmeric doing well. blackberries good too. Ginger not so good. Parsley ok, spinach not so good. Rainbow silver beet doing ok. most other herbs ( both medicinal and culinary ) doing alright as well. overall I'm pleased with what I'm getting, but just wish my tomatoes had done better. last year they were really good so dont know what's happened.
Hi Marty. Happy New Year. Could you send some of that rain over to the west? We have been in the high 30's to mid 40's here and no rain in sight. Not that we get much in summer anyway. My front lawn as all but turned off and no amount of watering seem to bring it back. Never has been a very good strain of buffalo grass from the get go. I think the afternoon sun reflection off our front windows is what does it..
Thanks for the encouragement, Marty. I've had a very disappointing growing season this summer. Flowers have been doing well though and keeping my spirits up while I watch 3 small green tomatoes like a hawk as they size up. Fingers crossed they make it! All the best with your garden also.
Well said Marty. My beans have been struggling in the heat but my tomatoes and cucumbers are doing well. Basil is also going well - I am making lots of pesto. I have space to plant more but not sure what to plant. Perhaps I will try some lettuce. Best wishes to you and the family.
Always nice to hear from you Debbie, it's a tricky time to plant now. I think a good idea is to plan for the Autumn as it won't be too far away. Building some support for Autumn and Winters Peas maybe!
@@martysgarden Thanks Marty. Wise words. Can I also ask you … I have a lemon tree that was planted mid last year which isn’t thriving. I have neglected the soil there. I have some new space in the garden that gets more sun. The soil in that garden also requires some TLC. Should I Re-locate the lemon tree to the sunnier position and build up the soils or should I just work on the soils in both areas? Then see how the lemon tree is doing?
Hi Marty, I’m new here, I’m also new to Adelaide and veggie gardening. Tonight I had lettuce, zucchini and basil from the veggie patch! So where are you situated? Oh, and I mowed the lawn for the second time this week 😂 too

Thanks Dad, moving forward and preparing for Autumn now

Great advice, keep roots in the ground!

Thanks for watching,,,I hear it's been hot there lately
So good to see you back. I have had a horrible time in my garden , let's hope it will get better.
Yes, when things calm down a little. Looking forward to Autumn again actually.
Thank you Marty, I needed to hear this. I’ve been feeling like ripping out my garden this year. But, I figured that better to have some harvest than none at all
For sure, we just go back to what we can do for now and this keeps us focused and moving forward
Good one Marty
Thanks
Same happening in my garden… Toowoomba… giving the soil a little break.
Sounds like a good plan, soil needs down time to rest at times!
I'm in Mildura, getting hot, something is eating my bean leaves.
I bet its been crazy hot out your way. Have a look for caterpillar poop on the leaves they like Beans
Marty your description of the weather is spot on. Climate Change has messed with our summer. My tomatoes are doing much better than last year. The cucumbers & Zucchinis are enjoying this strange weather. Beans not so much
It's pot luck this summer that's for sure!

Yes, my Tomato early crops were great, so so this summer. Glad to hear most of the garden is doing well!

If i could send you some of that rain I sure would. Hope you get some soon mate!
Yup! It's been a shit & unpredictable summer here in Brisbane too mate!
Yes, I can imagine, it's probably been worse for the storms up your way too!
My watermelon and sweet potatoes are thriving, everything else not so much 😆
Heat lover the watermelon. Stoked they are doing well for you!
Thanks for the encouragement, Marty. I've had a very disappointing growing season this summer. Flowers have been doing well though and keeping my spirits up while I watch 3 small green tomatoes like a hawk as they size up. Fingers crossed they make it! All the best with your garden also.
You're welcome, it's been tricky for many of us! But it will improve.
Well said Marty. My beans have been struggling in the heat but my tomatoes and cucumbers are doing well. Basil is also going well - I am making lots of pesto. I have space to plant more but not sure what to plant. Perhaps I will try some lettuce. Best wishes to you and the family.

@@sdebbied it needs at least 6 hours sun a day. If it’s getting that or more work on the soil Debbie
@@martysgarden Thanks Marty. I don’t think it will be getting 6 hours of direct sunlight all year round. I will move it.
Hi Marty, I’m new here, I’m also new to Adelaide and veggie gardening. Tonight I had lettuce, zucchini and basil from the veggie patch! So where are you situated? Oh, and I mowed the lawn for the second time this week 😂 too
I am in Mullumbimby in the Byron shire of NSW...Yep got to mow again tomorrow! Congrats on the harvest, your doing well getting food on your plate.
Sounds like English weather lol
Without the humidity maybe. It was 84% humidity here yesterday!
@@martysgarden are humidity can be high and can feel like you can’t breathe
