Great vid. capsicums look great. You have given me a few ideas on what to plant. thx.

[@keithhilton8869]

Hi Anthony, I think your right with the fruit fly. I had an early attack back in late Sept / Oct but since I've come back from Europe there has been none. Let's hope they're gone for the year. Great video as usual. Cheers mate. 😃😃

[@kissingannabel]

Love your content, what a beautiful life you have ❤😊

[@LizMay-r5v]

Another enjoyable and informative video. I put netting over my tomatoes a week ago in anticipation for Fruit fly none here on the far south coast yet, but I pulled the netting back to do some maintenance the yesterday and found green caterpillars on a couple of plants.

Hi Anthony. I made the same mistake, different plants. It's the first time I grew Jade Beans and they were too close to my Capsicums. There is always next year! BTW, great capsicums. I just harvested my first black russian tomato. Such a large and great flavour tomato. Been looking forward to this for a long time. YUM!

Love your vids as always, very informative. Im on the Murray River, 46 degrees today, most plants kicking thru but some struggled

[@jimkaye2077]

Great video …..my cherry tomatoes are still going strong , I’ve got some fruit flies and birds 🦅

[@mudmaker2133]

Anthony your chicks are so beautiful and mum looks so proud, it's nice to see them running around learning about nature. Your capsicum plants are looking really nice, that's a good size for yellow's I generally find they are a bit smaller than the red's. Jacqui

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

Thanks Jacqui, yeah i figured that the yellow caps dont get as big. Really excited about having chicks around again. Just need to make sure they dont ruin the patch! 🙂

[@mudmaker2133]

@@sydneybackyardveggies9612 LOL, I'll keep my fingers crossed the chicks behave but they grow so quickly.

[@chickin1705]

Hey mate Have you ever thought about digging up your capsicum and over wintering them?

[@muddymaker3721]

Qfly has shown up over here in Perth again mate. For the ninth time now I think. Luckily I'm not in the affected zones. I feel for the people that have to rip up all their plants according to the authorities. Your veggie garden is looking lush as mate, well done👍

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

I hope they get on top of them before they spread mate. They are a nightmare to control.

[@alisonburgess345]

Great vid Anthony - your garden looks amazing 🎉🎉

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

Thanks mate👍

[@simonstone3336]

Great work again mate 🇦🇺 👍

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

thanks simon 👍

[@nvrcnfrm6225]

Hey anthony great video once again mate. I never got around to sending a photo of my struggling cucumbers on instagram but theyve ended up pulling through. Now im at war with caterpillars 😂

[@Charles00-xj3kz]

Great vid Anthony. I am trying bush cucumbers this year and growing them in front of indeterminate tomatoes. My thinking is they won't shade out the tomatoes. I am also trying a pumpkin in a different bed in front of tomatoes, it will shade the soil and not shade the tomatoes. Trying to mix it up in my beds. See what works. Maximize the space.

[@ImGlyn]

Thanks for the video Anthony - I'm in hospital unexpectedly & you've cheered me right up! Fancy a quick trip down to Melbourne to look after my place for me? 😁😎😁

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

Hi Glyn hope you have a speedy recovery. The garden should hopefully hold up hope it doesn’t get too hot for you over there

[@MarieOhlsen]

Thanks for your advice Anthony I’ve taken it all on. Just one question, do you remove the suckers from tomatoes like different gardeners do, I haven’t seen you do it. I don’t know what to do remove them or don’t remove them, very confusing. I’m in Melbourne.

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

Thanks for watching I have 2 videos where I show you how I pruned the tomatoes in the video I will post a link for you in this comment

[@mickfalvey6045]

Great video once again. Tell me would these timings be relevant to Victoria ( Melbourne) as well? Cheers

[@tahliel]

Oh I hadn't seen any fruit flies in the garden, but oh my, their grubs are in my tomatoes 😭

[@vincegooglegoogle6076]

You never REST your beds?

[@alisonburgess345]

No, you shouldn't - that's an old concept these days. You should have things growing in your soil all the time - the plants through their roots support the microbes in the soil. Apply lots of compost, keep the moisture level reasonable and go, go, go..

[@sydneybackyardveggies9612]

I personally don’t. Generally I like to plant as soon as the last crop is finished though I always add more manures and amendments before planting. At most I have rested a section of bed say 2-3 weeks more because I don’t have time to plant or I am waiting for seedlings to be ready. I drive my garden to maximise output so I am constantly planting
