Growing Vertical Gardens + Setting up Shade to protect Summer Plants ☀️🌳

[@purposeful142]

Its so nice to see the warmth of sun and greenery when Northern parts are freezing cold.😊

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Love your shaded backyard!! Crazy temps happening in hawkes bay region at the moment too but the horowhenua coast is getting tons of rain!

[@SustainableHolly]

I don't think we will get much if any rain now for the rest of summer 😬 hope your gardens are growing with the rain and warmth

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

@SustainableHolly must have had a frost the other night cos one of my yellow zucchini died 🤣

[@kimmy_mac]

Wow so many plants under your shade cloth. Congrats on the pomegranate 🌱

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you! I'm so excited about the pomegranate! 🌱

[@danielavichos986]

Thank you for the video. Would really appreciate it if you could do a video showing how your shade sail is set up. I'm in Armadale and its so windy here, the market umbrella i have keeps being knocked over.

[@SustainableHolly]

Check out my latest short video for a bit more close up. But it comes as a kitset with the clips just on the shade sail section at the big green shed

[@danielavichos986]

That you😊

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

Hey Holly! I'm glad to see your better half in this video. I remember a prior video when you said you couldn't concentrate with him in the background. I sure am glad you got over that ;-) Cheers!

[@Paige.M1]

I’m always excited when you have posted a new video! So great to see an update on how you are using the front shade trellises and how you are tackling the Perth summer sun! I just bought my first home in Perth so am taking all the inspiration for setting up my own garden (the yard is currently all sand 😅)

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you! Yay, how exciting 🌳🌳🌳

[@jackiek4159]

Your garden is absolutely flourishing, always look forward to your updates! 😍🙌💚

[@SustainableHolly]

Thanks Jackie if only these grapes would take off 😅🤣

[@janicejordan593]

Another lovely video, thanks. I line my black pots with newspaper to keep the plants cool. So far all is good. My yellow tomato has really lovely fruit. Stay cool this week, yes it is going to be warm.😊

[@SustainableHolly]

What a great idea thanks for sharing! Yep it's going to be toasty!

[@MattMilla76]

I have done that NOT LABELLING MY SEEDS thing too. I have over 60 sprouted tomatoes and cannot remember which one of the 15 types of seeds they are from. And I thought I was doing well when I planted beetroot seeds in a pot, only to find none of the beetroot seeds sprouted and instead I have a pot of very healthy looking thistles. Gardening can be fun!!

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

My plants in wicking buckets are noticeably happier in this heatwave..... :) Especially if they're under shade cloth too.

[@kellynbtln8234]

Hey Holly Everything looks amazing! Good tip with catching the seeds on head of seedling. Check out rampicante or tromboncino is prolific it might fill space quickly for shade🌿🌸🌻

[@SustainableHolly]

Yes those would be a good idea!

[@kellynbtln8234]

​@SustainableHolly the rampicante for the arbor if your wanting something quick. They get pretty rough looking end season so u might want something prettier. Or could replant the rampicant mid season n when gets big take out first rampicante. Love the shade sail best summer spot!

[@ausfoodgarden]

Oh Holly, have you never heard of labels? 😊 I do the random seed planting too but usually when I already can't remember what the seeds were. Your garden is looking great. I'm thinking of using shade cloth here in Melbourne too. The weather is all over the place. Cheers and Merry Xmas!

[@SustainableHolly]

I plant far too many things to keep up with labels 🤣😅 but it would certainly be a useful habit to have. Thank you! Merry Christmas 🌱

[@talyavalenti2290]

Hello! Lovely vids. Just wondering where you got the pergola in your front yard, or maybe you built it yourself? Thanks!

[@joannedixon1977]

Like your ladder lol are u wearing redband gumboots

[@SustainableHolly]

Haha. Looking very new and clean pink bands need to do more work haha

[@jemmafogarty3105]

Ooooo, im in Perth and cant find vanilla bean plants. Can i ask where you got yours from?

[@SustainableHolly]

Check the orchid flower section inside at big green shed they pop up there often 💚

[@jemmafogarty3105]

​@@SustainableHollyThank you. Sorry I've never heard of the big green shed and google isn't helping. Which suburb is it located? Many thanks 😊

[@coobye]

It gets hot in Perth eh. My son is working up near Newman and he's just told me it's 44c there today. Lucky it's low humidity.

[@SustainableHolly]

Yep it's going to be about 38 every day this week! Luckily no Humidity!

[@coobye]

@@SustainableHolly Curious as to whether you can grow Mango over there. I have a 5ft mango here in Wollongong that was going great guns but seems to be slowly dying. It has black spots underneath the leaves which is apparently Anthracnose which I've been spraying with copper diammonia diacetate but it's not helping. I might try a fungicide next.

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

yeah ball shape cucumber please

[@Power_Prawnstar]

Nice, ta ❤

[@joshuastokes6008]

How many times a day and a week do you water??

[@SustainableHolly]

It really depends on the weather and gardens. My back food forest garden really only gets once a week but my newer gardens or raised beds will get hand watered more frequently.

[@salilsahani2721]

Thank you :)

[@leonshomegrown]

Looks fantastic. Well done. I personally would only go 40-50% here in south east Queensland. Suppose there is a lot factors to consider like what your growing and how many hours of sunlight they’re getting from the sides. It’s all looking great. Hopefully that hot weather doesn’t stay to long. 😊😊😊 love your videos your doing a great job 😊

[@dougs_urbanfarm]

Lol if i attached a shade sail to a fence here it would vanish in a storm! Ive seen whole facias pulled off by shade sails.

[@ellpageff]

Hello. Where are you located?

[@sunshinesparkles4217]

why is mine sounding like you are italian?

[@SustainableHolly]

I definitely can't speak Italian haha. I think there are some glitches with Automatic captions 🤔

[@emilyfriebel5184]

Yes mine too it has only got Italian, German and French as language options 😮

[@SustainableHolly]

This is so strange...I've tried to update settings but it all says English 😅 is it still doing it?

[@emilyfriebel5184]

@ thankfully it’s back to normal now!

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you for letting me know 😊

[@marisaphoenix1893]

Ok, this is in another language

[@SustainableHolly]

Check your autocaptions settings 🤔

[@marisaphoenix1893]

@ all other videos are fine. It’s just yours, and from other comments, it’s not just me so not likely anything to do with our settings. More likely something you’ve done when uploading your video? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sonjam7291]

It’s multiple languages though ?Portuguese, German, Italian, Spanish?

[@marisaphoenix1893]

@ yep. Multiple languages, but no English. And no option to stop it. All other videos I’m watching are completely normal.

[@SustainableHolly]

I'm not sure it may be a new youtibe feature that is bugging. All settings are set to English. If anyone knows the answer please share 😅
