A Quick Harvest before a Hot Day | Permaculture Vegetable Garden

[@LittleGardenBigDreams]

I love the mornings in the garden too Linda🌱💕 Your veg looks beautiful. My zucchini’s are going crazy at the moment, and I’m struggling to keep up with them. I think I’m going to grate and freeze a lot of it as I’m nearly zucchinied out lol. Another warm day today! xx Cathi xx 😘

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Frozen grated zucs is always a winner in winter for soup & zuc slice 👍👍 Xx

[@Harryset1]

Hi there, your vegetables would be an absolute hit on our local farmers market, you would "sold out" within an hour. A good profit guaranteed! No hot days over here - rain, rain and more water from above - lol. But we are still ~ 0.8 meter under our usual groundwater table. Hope that you enjoy your life to the fullest 😉 -- Greets - H.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks Harry - the veg is a bit of a hit here with neighbours and family!! Hope the sun appears for you soon 😊

@@huttonsvalleypermaculture Ah - the neighbors - that remind me of my great- grandpa's cherry trees -- one of them was called Herrn Kassin's Kirschbaum aka Mr.Kassin's cherry tree - this tree was a giant, old, and a bit of a landmark a in the landscape-- the cherries where heart shaped and very very sweet and the color was a deep ruby red. Every year one of our neighbor Ladies approached my grandpa and reminded him: Bitte vergessen sie die Kirschen nicht! aka "Please don't forget the/my cherries, please?"

I really enjoy your videos Linda!

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks Maria - I enjoy that you enjoy 😊

Looking good, love the harvests. First time I've tried cucumber and have been getting a few so will plant more next year =-)

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Oh exciting - cucumbers are great to grow - they come thick and fast for a bit but lend themselves well to pickling in a variety of ways so great for winter feasting in addition to the summer salads!!

[@sueperkins8853]

I know it is trouble for you to film these videos while tending your garden but I enjoy them so much! What are the lovely blue flowers growing amongst your cucumber vines?

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

The blue flowers are from the chicory family- I think that one is a radicchio plant! I enjoy making the videos as it connects me with lovely people such as yourself 😊

[@cazaitken3285]

“I just piff it over there and try not to hit anyone” 😂

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

😆 I have hit a couple before even though I try not to!

[@CatherineandRob]

Great zuccs! And we find wind felled sunflowers grow back well after being staked.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

It was so big I didn’t know what to stake it with!! I have done staking before with some success. But it has a flower on it now so it didn’t give up haha 👍👍

[@helenabaier7823]

Your garden looks stunning, do you have a video somewhere how you started the garden,what soil preparation did you do?

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Hi Helena - thank you! I think I go through it all in this video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ-cYYGaa7iXf8k Thanks for watching 😊

[@judyholdsworth7096]

Great haul. So many options.

Amazing garden🎉

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks for visiting 😊

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

I don't know if I imagine it but I think the striped zucchini actually tastes better. I also love the look of all the different veg that I didn't know existed until a few years ago. Your tomatoes look beautiful. Full baskets are such a joy. Your slaw looks great too . Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Yes I too love the different looking veg in the basket even though they are essentially the same thing! Thanks Naomi 😊

[@alisonlonergan5605]

Love Sunday mornings watching your videos 😊 I'm just about to upgrade my sickle, do you have any recommendations? Thanks Linda!

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Oh thanks Alison!! I do love my sawtoothed sickle for harvesting but also love using my large grass sickle - see Japanese Tools website if interested

[@alisonlonergan5605]

@@huttonsvalleypermaculture awesome, I did see them when I googled... will take the plunge 😁

[@siobhancapell]

Hi Lynda, thanks for a lovely harvest video. You're inspiring with the amount that you get done. Do you manage to have a job as well as looking after this massive garden? I always seem to miss the planting times for seeds. Hopefully this year I'll be on top of it a little better and can plant things when clearing the garden, as you do. If you feel like using a video title that reminds me to put seeds in, I would very much appreciate it. 😂

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

I know what you mean about getting seeds planted and of course it depends where you are and what climate you have. I like to think I plant a variety of seeds regularly, all through the year, but that dream has not happened as yet but it is something to aim at. I do plant a number of plants out of their usual season like snow peas and brassicas and find they often do quite well - so experiment in your area and see what works. Plant something now and you won't go wrong - then mark a day in your calendar for a few weeks time and plant another lot of plants - same or different and keep doing that year round - you'll always have something growing. That is what I'm aiming for! I quit my job as a pharmacist 4.5 years ago - no regrets - love what I'm doing now. My job is building this property and sharing it in hopes that it inspires other to do what they can for themselves in terms of growing their own food. Removing yourself from stressful environments is also important which is why I quit my job. I'm fortunate that my finances have allowed this. I'm hoping my KZbin channel will provide a small income to contribute to my ongoing expenses ( it doesn't currently!!) Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

[@siobhancapell]

@@huttonsvalleypermaculture you're certainly putting in the work building a fabulous channel. I've really enjoyed watching all of your back catalogue to find out how you've set everything up. So nice to find Australian gardening channels from the east coast. KZbin doesn't make it easy to find other Aussies. FWIW, my search terms are often "Australia permaculture NSW/Sydney + interest of the moment" if that helps to get the algorithm working in your favour. I'll keep spreading the word about your channel, though. It's so great to hear your Aussie accent and learn about similar climatic conditions in the same season that I'm experiencing as the videos come out. ❤️

[@sueperkins8853]

@@siobhancapell I, too, love her Aussie accent. I could listen to her read from the phone book. LOL. Southeast, USA

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

That is good to know how people search! I’m better at gardening than understanding algorithms so appreciate any sharing that my lovely viewers can do 👍👍😄

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

@sueperkins8853 thanks Sue 😄

[@joannabrown4238]

Mornings in the garden! Such a wonderful way to start the day! I have been enjoying your video's so much. Very inspiring to watch before heading out into my own. I had a chuckle when you snapped your carrot, I harvested mine just the other day and always seem to snap some of them. We live in the Widebay part of QLD and have had a very humid Summer which has caused some challenges. Each season brings something new though, I'm just very thankful to be eating out my garden, fresh and organic like you, such a blessing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden and tips/recipes.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks Joanna!! Yes seasons that aren’t consistent year to year are a real challenge! Lots of variety in the garden and hopefully something will grow well!! I kind of cross my fingers a lot too haha!! Thanks for watching and thanks for your lovely comment 😊

[@Hhaahland4]

Hi Linda, Have you posted a video showing how you make your cucumber pickle by any chance? I have them coming out my ears this year, which is great as I haven’t had any success with them for several years now, but I can’t eat or give them away quick enough and need some way to preserve them.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

I don’t think I do sorry, but I did leave the link to the recipe I use in the description!

[@mauimago5023]

Hi,,beautiful😊😊

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks :)

[@alisonlonergan5605]

Hi Linda, let me know if you have a Japanese Tools AU referral code (so you can gain tool rewards 😅) just about to order and want to support you if I can.

[@huttonsvalleypermaculture]

Thanks Alison - I reached out to them to see if there was an affiliate program but didn’t hear back from them. There was a referral link in one of my videos but can’t remember which one. Appreciate the thought - just get your order in & get that tool in your hands - don’t worry about me - but thanks xx
