Greetings from St Mary's, I dont know what I would do without your video's, Thank you so much, cant wait for next months upload.
Glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
Such an interesting video. Thanks so much for sharing 🤗
It's good to see you're on top of it. Have a great day!
Great video, nice to see a garden channel from Tassie. I love that music at the end too. Adelaide here. I don't have any videos yet, I just hang out with garden friends on RUclips Right now, I only share my garden stuff on facebook under the same name. I look forward to your next video. Stay warm...cheers! :)
Great idea for a series of videos. Well done!
It's 5 a.m. here in the states and you're my first video of the day with my coffee. I enjoy watching.

Nice like drink and brilliant rose pruning... I think a lot of people don’t prune roses enough!
Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy them. I get motivated to get to my garden too.
Rodney Holland sorry to hijack your video, however I just wanted to ask if you can still prune roses now even if they are beginning to leaf out? I bought bare root, planted but haven’t pruned yet. As we haven’t had a really cold winter they are already leafing. I don’t want to stress them too much.
Thanks for sharing. Your wife's right about the roses, I'm no expert, I have employed experts, they all advised go hard. Clever idea with the playhouse roof, I hadn't thought of the radiating heat from the iron. That's given me a idea for a passive heat havestor and solar fans to direct heat back into the damp shed. We get lots of rain in the Bush.
Hobart here mate, very interested it your garden tips. Thanks for your videos. Cheers
Thanks so much for this new series! I have learnt so much from you and your wife, I look forward to all the ideas that can help me in my Melbourne garden.
Good to see you again John; missed your videos. Cheers, H
Great idea! I've only seen MIgardener do this month by month. He is not that explicit about it but he keeps ups updated about his gardening cycle. I'll wait for more info through the months. =)
Tasman peninsula here, following you and your progress, tips and inspiration. Only just getting stuck into our 3 acre homestead
Been hanging out for an episode thanks very much
Hello from North West Tasmania. My garden is looking very similar. Though I have managed to prune the fruit trees. Looking forward to these monthly videos.
I never knew kiwi fruits ripened in winter in Tassie!!
Oh we are finally getting some much needed rain here today in the Riverina. Very excited to follow your videos.
Not bad at all for your 'low' month of the year! That's a pretty good bunch of garden treasures for all your hard work! : )
Great Video ! Also great to see so many Tasmanians in the comments. We just moved to Longford from sunshine coast , QLD and love it 😍
Cant wait to get started again 😁😁
Greetings from my garden in Northern Tassie - I've come here from Self sufficient Me - I greatly enjoyed your Spring garden video, and had to laugh when you expressed dismay about a modern trend for Rust in the Garden - especially rusting CARS! It is a look I can not abide, and do NOT understand why Councils permit such blight within our communities! However, with such beautifully inspiring gardens as yours, and others, I hope one day such horrors will be replaced with singing birds, buzzing bees and an appreciative abundance of wonderful plants, flowers, trees, veggies and all sorts of beautiful gardens! Thank you! Keep spreading the Good Word 👍🐾🌲🌷🍓🍒😎
With the lawn being wet so it can't be mowed, what about a couple of goats? What were those dropped you put in the lime drink? Love your channel.
In my experience goats and gardens don't really mix well. Goats have a wide appetite and really prefer the fruit trees and many of the garden plant's to grass! Sheep or geese may be safer! The drops in the drink were liquid stevia.
Great video! I'm in Melbourne and just started some very basic container gardening last autumn (first time!). I've had some good results and some not-so-great results, so there's a lot of room for improvement and I'm excited to get some tips for when spring arrives!
New sub, starting to binge watch your channel....being from just South of Perth I am interested in learning how you do it in Tasmania. Thanks or the uploads.
Welcome aboard!
Good morning John, hows your end of the island this morning, I'm under ice here in St Mary's today, even plants in my green house are frozen, havent seen a frost like this morning for quite some time.
Frozen in the greenhouse! That is cold! No ice up here the last few days - just cloud and COLD!
Hi John thanks for the video. Great info. Is uour greenhouse heat regulated?
No, it's not.
@@homesteading thank you. I have a small Bunnings greenhouse that might work ok then..
G'day John - how many frosts do you get each year roughly? And when do you expect them to start?
Just trying to figure out how you compare to my spot in the Northern Tablelands in NSW.
Thanks mate - keep up the great videos!
Never really tried counting them! Were we live I have seen frost anywhere from mid May to mid October. But as our winters are wet, we often have rain, where you may get frost. The rain keeps it above freezing at night but keeps the days cooler than you may have(
I'm glad I found your channel, we bought the property in Tasmania and I'm very interested to know how to grow fruit and vegetables there. Thanks for shearing your knowledge
Also send some rain to central south QLD! Love watching your videos, get so many ideas from you even if our climates are different (Warwick QLD= cold winters with frost, hot dry summers, rain most likely in October to December).
I'm in Lilydale. My garden looks similar to yours at the moment - very wet, but a bit more frosty. I have just finished transplanting a whole new patch of berrys, and am working my way through the winter pruning. Thanks for the video :)
Tammarillo i grow Them too in the Greenhouse. How mutch frost can thay handle? Thanks for the video 👍
Not really sure what temperatures they will tolerate, but I do know that the leaves will burn and fall off if frosted, and a fully frosted tree, if it doesn't die, will be set back from flowering to an extreme degree!
@@homesteading tanks for the info, i will see if thay make it with the winter👍
Looking forward to more of these monthly updates. One query though. Why did you choose to grow the Kiwi that way and not on a trellis or support?
Growing the Kiwi like that wasn't a matter of choice...but rather it was failure of the trellis I had, at time I couldn't get to repair it!
Great Vid, and the series sounds like a winner! Are you growing the lime in a pot?? I can't make it out from the video.
No, the lime isn't in a pot - it is in the native soil.
I see you use plastic as a cover...I have always been told it sours the soil. I would be very interested in your expertise on this please💁♀️
I use plastic as a winter cover, generally for about 2 months (max 3 months) and with plenty of organic matter under it. My experience it that the worms get very active under it (it's warmer too) and the soil is really nice to work with at the end. This is much better than the alternative, which is being cold and wet all winter, this I find tends to compact the soil and you can't work with it so early. I haven't done before and after Ph testing so can't comment on that.
Homesteading DownUnder 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 you so much for for clearing this up for me. Love following your channel and find your knowledge very clear. Look forward to learning more about gardening in my new Tasmanian zone🙏
