grew up with a lowquat tree out the side of the house i lived in in balaclava as a kid, i was always sitting on top of the fence plucking and eating the ripe fruit ;)

We have cape gooseberries here in Gippsland (we are in a frost free area). They have been ripening even over Winter.

[@MyTinyFoodForest]

I find cape gooseberry super hard to grow as it sprays gets attacked by cape gooseberry beetle. Like it’s inevitable here so much so that I stopped growing it. I wish I had a solution

[@KaiChong]

Love the tour.. gives me plenty of ideas of what can grow well in melb

[@s90598]

Always love your video.

[@monogramadikt5971]

damn i wish i had a yard to grow stuff in, excellent little set up you got going there ;)

[@wessamsaifeldin6715]

thanks for the information . could you please tell me how to get babaco fruit seeds ?

[@MyTinyFoodForest]

Jian, I notice you have a few fruit trees in pots. Do you plan to plant them into the ground or so you plan to just leave them in pots? Just trying to figure out whether I should leave some of my fruit trees in pots as I have a tiny backyard. Thank you and hope you're well!!

[@biblicalwealth]

Is your white Shahtoot mulberry a dwarf or do you just prune it back hard?

[@andrewpinto1778]

Hi, do you water the babaco? If so, how often a week. Any special soil.

[@kimfindlay3500]

I'm looking to add some cover for my Silkies in their run & wondered whether Cape Gooseberry and a Babaco may be a good idea? The other issue is I'm out of space everywhere else, so it's here or not at all 🤣

[@matthewfarrell317]

Watched both videos. Interesting you said you had a warm winter. Where we are in Melbourne we had one of the coldest in 20 years. We only usually get 2 or 3 frosts a winter due to the protection from the two bays. I counted at least 15. Our blackberries dropped all their leaves but we did have a late start to winter. Also how do you stop the bugs eating your papinos. We had two massive melons get destroyed by them.

[@kathyhirsch379]

At sout East we had some frost as well lately surprisingly closer to the house all the big leafs 🍃 gone

[@kathyhirsch379]

That's a funny looking cat 😊

[@kinglucas9922]

Is your Baboca plant getting full sun? Thanks!

[@busylittlegarden4519]

Been so excited for this video! Love your garden. Just wondering how much sun your babaco gets? I’d love to grow these too 😍

[@MyTinyFoodForest]

Hi Jian! I wish I had you to help me plant my fruit trees in my tiny tiny backyard. I'm so nervous to start in case I plant them in the wrong place. My backyard is tiny in an L shape. How did you get the confidence to put them in the right place according to the size they will grow to? Thank you!!

[@justbecause3187]

Planting deciduous and shorter trees on the Northern side of your property could be a good place to start, so that they're not blocking the winter sun from your trees and plants behind.

[@comoeujogo3306]

where is the girl from? it's very cold

[@Nightowl-72]

The channel is called Melbourne food forest, that should give you a hint 😄
