We have now upgraded from containers and one in ground bed to four 1.2 x 2.5m raised beds.

I for one watched your whole video and enjoyed it very much. I don’t live in a subtropical climate so it’s interesting to see what you are growing that I can’t. We do a lot of salmon fishing and the freezer burnt or to old to eat always gets ‘planted’ in the garden. People have been doing this for hundreds if not thousands of years. Why someone would leave a negative comment is beyond me. Using everything is a good thing. Especially animals that we eat should never go to waste. We use the heads for crab bait. We use the bones of deer and elk for bone broth and making bone meal for the garden. Your garden is so beautiful! I have two gardens and I know it takes hours and hours every day to keep it going. And sometimes it fails. I just had a Vole do what your cockatoos did to my pole beans. :( oh well, next year….😊

And I made a green onion powder/flakes from the flower stalks of the walking onions. It is like you ate fresh onions, but a minute or two ago, and maybe a bit got stuck in your teeth. It’s so fun. Most of the garlic 🧄 was tiny, so some I put in a foil pack in the oven and roasted them till I could squeeze out the goo, instead of trying to unwrap a 1000 tiny cloves. I just love growing stuff.

"Food gardening is about what's growing, not what it's growing in"... love that! And I would add that it is also about the crop you get, not what the plants look like. Because it's so easy to get worried about the appearance of the plants (they're not green enough, or their leaves are being damaged, etc.)... but some of the best tomatoes I've ever tasted were off of plants that looked TERRIBLE! So it's really important to get out of that "house plant mentality" when you step into the veggie patch...

Wondering if you’ve ever grown Elderberry?? Thanks for the walk about round the garden 😊👍 Everything looks great. Sorry to see the damage the pesky critters do, but if Im honest, I did giggle since I deal with the same torture! 🤭 Little buggers I’ve never left you a comment, but since you mentioned our 3 sisters… I felt I should. Our people supposedly came up with that design and it is a great way to grow the 3 up 🎉 We found a garden clay that is sprayed onto the plants. It looks odd, but doesn’t hinder the sun doing its job for photosynthesis but it does taste yucky to the pests… including snails, slugs, squash beetles etc and the birds don’t like it either YAY!! We have been having great success for our first year using it. We had to spray the fruit trees as well and its made a huge difference. Thanks for your time and the lovely videos. Much Appreciated!! PS you can eat / drink the aloe Vera as well as using on your skin!

They’re called potato onions because, much like when you plant one seed potato and end up with several tubers, when you plant one potato onion, you get a mess of more onions at the end of the season.

Hey Mark, sorry the cockies raided your garden, I know how that feels. I planted freesias in my new garden (4 years ago) and as they started shooting out of the soil, the cockies & long bill corellas came down and ate them. I woke one morning & caught them having breakfast on freesia bulbs! They seem to have an instinct for bulb plants & know to dig for the bulb. Probably what “saved” your garlic was the taste of the leaves. In the wild these parrots love nut grass, they help spread it into our gardens where we don’t need it. With the potato shoots, it could have been the high moisture in the stem & that “snapping sound” that makes them happy (😢 sorry) Since I started feeding my wild friends with wild bird seed from Woolies, I havnt had any destruction in 4 years. PS. They might come back for your passionfruit 😮
