    Cliff, the trough looks very cheery. What a boring world it would be without plants to brighten and delight. And we gardeners would have nothing to do!
    Please feel free to send some of that rain my way. The long range forecasters are promising cooler, wetter weather here in Australia after the last few years of heat, drought and bushfires, but I'm running the bore constantly at the moment to keep things alive (pumped up from 190 feet below ground!) . Last summer killed plants left, right and centre including trees that had been happily growing for over forty years (one of those being a huge Leyland Cyprus at the western end of the house 😞) so we'll take whatever rain you don't want 😊
    Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CastleHillGarden
      @CastleHillGarden  3 года назад

      Thanks David, lets hope you get your cooler wetter weather, as those bushfires are horrific. Sorry to hear you have lost some old trees, they irreplaceable in our generation. That's a deep bore hole to retrieve water, hopefully doing a good job. Reading your comment will make me think before I complain about the rain again. Take care stay safe regards Cliff.

    • @davidhynd4435
      @davidhynd4435 3 года назад

      @@CastleHillGarden Thanks Cliff, I appreciate you taking the time to read my comment and respond. Yes, 190 feet is a long way for that pump to push water straight up but we would have lost most of our gardens during the worst of the drought without it. Fifteen years ago it took the drilling rig two full days to drill to that depth as this is granite country and apart from about a foot of topsoil it was solid granite all the way to the aquifer. We were told to drill in that spot by an elderly gentleman water diviner who was suggested to us. I'm a skeptic about such things but we were told that this man has a very good reputation for finding water. He walked over all twenty acres while holding a hand saw by the blade end with the handle end bobbing up and down. He told us to drill in that place and nowhere else. Not only that he told us that it would need to go to at least 185 feet of depth to find water. Amazingly, that's almost exactly the depth that they hit water! And, yes, the bushfires were absolutely horrific. At about this time last year we were packed and ready to go. At one stage we were taking turns at night to patrol for falling embers. Not a lot of fun. Our property is at Stannum NSW. If you search it on google maps and then go to satellite view (which must have been photographed during the drought because it looks very brown) you can see that we are very rural with thousands of acres of forest around us, so raging fires are potentially very bad news. Let's hope that there are more garden-friendly times ahead.

    Sir, you are always amazingly casual about your apparently innate skills! You sauntered up to an empty trough. You had plants which had been “easily” planned and had even had a temporary bed set aside for their residence until the point where you came to look upon an empty trough, scratched your chin, imagined a “silhouette” of a floral display and just prepared the trough with compost (of the highest grade I’m sure) and then started planting, with an eye for the future with those submerged bulbs, resulting in an elegant display to smile at visitors to your home! Like an artist selecting hues from his palette or a chef choosing the finest ingredients and combining them to form a triumph, you seem to potter your creations into life with a peace about you which I personally envy! I always look forward to the weekend when your next instalment hopefully arrives. Thanks again Cliff, your knowledge is pure gold yet can’t be bought; stay safe and I hope you and Diane get some satisfaction from all the joy and knowledge you impart to us! We appreciate it. Very best wishes.

    Thanks again so much dear Cliff and Diane. My favorite you tubers. That trough was gorgeous. Y'all have an artistic eye for decorating. Had the cataract on the left yey removed this week and the right eye will be the day before Thanksgiving. I know it is strictly a US holiday but I think it is my favorite because usually that is the day my sons and grandsons are all here. My oldest grandson, Matthew, who is 20 tested positive on Tuesday for COVID. He apparently got it from his fiance who got it from her mom who works in a hospital. When all this began I pondered coming out of retirement as a registered nurse to help but my husband insisted I forget it. He was right of course. I do not have the stamina I once had.I hope you and Diane will have a wonderful week, if anyone deserves it, you two do. Much love, Connie

We are in lockdown till December, keeping safe. You and your family stay safe regards from us both.

The local council has phoned and said If I make the rings, they will pick up and distribute them to our local community. Funds going to the village hall, I will be busy.

    QUESTIONS PLEASE:
    1. What is the highest and lowest temperature your shed gets where you overwinter your crops?
    2. Since the shed has a window, do you hang a curtain to keep the light out? If you don't hang a curtain, which direction does the window face?
    I've watched the entire year playlist and have learned so much. I am having a terrible time storing all of the crops in my house. I do have a mud room which is a bit cooler but it is surrounded by windows on 3 sides (South, West & North) with no curtains. I'm going to try to make a set up like yours to store my overwintered crops in this year (2021). It's too sad to grow everything only to watch it slowly rot.
    My growing has gotten ever so much better since I started following a lot of your instructions so I thank you very very much for making this youtube channel.

    • @CastleHillGarden
      @CastleHillGarden  3 года назад +1

      Hi illustr8 life, the shed is very well insulated and the temperature the lowest I have seen is 1 degree, thats with a outside temperature minus 5 celsius. In summer the temperature is the same as outdoors as the door is always open. The windows face west and I do have outdoor blinds that I close at night, or in adverse weather. The shed has no heat or power, I run a cable down for the propagator in the spring. Good luck with your project regards Cliff.

    Nice video Cliff/Diane, the display looks great and I’m sure will look fantastic over the coming months! As for the fallen leaves I’m doing the same here and have done it for a number of years but not really sure what’s the best to make use of them ? I have about 12 bags in a spare area of my garden and I’m on the way to maybe another 10 bags this year for probably next year ! I’ve heard that you can sow seeds in it, mulch with it and it don’t have a lot of nutrients in it? So some advice Cliff on your thoughts! As you looked very pleased unlike a lot of others with all the leaves that have to be cleared! Lol. Anyway keep safe have a great week and hopefully we’ll see you down the garden next week! 👍🤞

    • @CastleHillGarden
      @CastleHillGarden  3 года назад

      Thanks David, the leaves are the best soil conditioner, forked into the soil when well rotted. They are also very good for mulching on ericaceous plants, like blueberries. I mix some of mine with compost for potting on, don't use for seed set as its not consistent. I can't get enough leaves to rot down to improve my soil. It will bind your sandy soil beautifully and improve texture. Take care keep collecting regards from us both.
