Great video Ben. That’s some nice Eggplants there. I got a decent sized crop from my one & only eggplant tree/bush. Going to try the long white variety next season.
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.
