WHEN I Plant Veggies...

[@kimberlywells1794]

Really helpful and I can adapt to my climate.

[@grayzbildz]

Good to know. We retire to Tassie at the end of this year. Thank you for your information. Cheers,

[@gailmcdonald1946]

Fantastic information, makes sense to take note of the signs of the seasons .🤩👌🥰I’m also in Victoria

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

Great video! We are i Vic, so not too different! It's nice to see what people are doing in similar areas! Often everything we get to watch are on the opposite side of the world and opposite seasons!

[@moho5790]

Thank you John. I'm in Vic, so always use you as a barometer test of what I can grow here & when.

[@samantharose2759]

Awesome information thank you 😍 I'm in SEQ. I tend to just plonk seeds or plants in willy nilly where I have space... Here's hoping I can come up with a better plan like yours to suit my climate and be more organised 🤞

[@windywalcha]

This was so so helpful. We live in the Northern Tablelands of New England in N.S.W., 1000 m above sea level. So I'm thinking we share a similar climate.I really appreciate the time you take to explain things. Thank you so much.

[@rodneyholland1867]

I live in New England too... I have found John's times for planting quite good for me too.

[@edsaunders1897]

Likewise - have you seen the Sustainable Living Armidale sowing guide? slarmidale.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Armidale-Vegetable-Sowing-Guide.pdf

[@windywalcha]

@@edsaunders1897 Wow! Thank you so very much!

[@leannrobb7264]

thanks so much John, we are in southern South Australia, and your advice helps me heaps. also I love seeing Samual working in the garden, he has obviously grown a love for gardening from you.

[@homesteading]

Thanks for that! You just saved me some work - was going to add that when uploading but forgot - have now added your times to description so they show in the timeline.

[@johncolumba7945]

@@homesteading Great, no woz! You put in 99.99% of work, only fair to chip in a little! Cheers (From Tassie too)

[@natashamurphy5858]

Thanks for this video, it was really helpful. We are in central North Island NZ so a similar growing climate and timings to Tasmania. I'm gonna try push my potato crops either side of winter a bit more this season with the plastic method you mentioned.

[@sc0tt500]

Love your videos John. I can't believe you only have 15K subscribers.

[@homesteading]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[@sandybeach4751]

That was great, lots of info. I’m in Victoria so that was helpful. Will get some tomato seeds in some punnets ASAP.

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

We are in Vic too :)

[@samanthabrown2480]

Very helpful for me here in Launceston! Thankyou 😊

[@beckylieb2637]

our rains are late this year

[@Sinalove1]

New gardener in Auckland so thanks for the great tips!

[@homesteading]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LadyofHuntingdon]

I’m in the Southern Midlands, thank you John your videos are so helpful to me as a new gardener 😀

[@lachlannicholls827]

That wattle is amazing!

[@buzzbugs380]

Northern Tasmania here, I just put potatoes in the ground yesterday under plastic.

[@skodalaskoda8754]

thx for this

[@davidlillecrapp2960]

Written down, soon to be typed up, laminated and put on the fridge!

[@02bigkev]

My climate is a little more harsh (Snowy mountains NSW) we get frosts up to December. Thanks for the info, I delay by about a month.

[@GunShot101]

thank you verry handy tips im in vic and i think its same for me

[@hayleywynwood9776]

Thanks so much John - I believe we are quite close to where you are (best town in NW), but I’m probably closer to the coast. Your videos have been very useful to this novice gardener!

[@beverleyspugsandhomestead.]

Thanks just got some seed potatoes and wasn’t sure if I could plant or not 👍🏼😀

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

I use a yates garden guide that I have had since the 60s, as a general rule, it is tatty and torn and been recovered with cardboard, but the kids were all given a new copy, and they swear by it. But I plant summer seeds at bud swell for nectarines, it is a far more accurate judge of seasonal variations, Tomato seeds go in first sign of budswell in a seedling raising box with heating pad.

[@li22ietopper26]

sounds like a good guide.

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

@@li22ietopper26 well seasons vary from year to year and we need a stick in the ground approach and to be honest this works very well for me

[@MickyBellRoberts]

It is so nice to see a good rain. We need rain here, it is very hot and dry here.

[@ks6943]

Thanks so much for the very informative videos. I am so glad I accidentally found you on YT. I watch a lot of US/UK videos and try to adapt them to Melbourne with some hits and misses.. then I found self sufficient me. But he is in sunny QLD. Your Tassie climate seems to be the closest. My Wattles are blooming, all the spring bulbs are starting to bloom... finally something I can relate to. Thank you. PS pls ask your wife to do a similar video for flowering annuals..

[@homesteading]

Glad to they are useful to you! Elisabeth doesn't grow a lot of annuals - has more perennials. But she could talk about the ones she does grow. Thanks for the idea.

[@ks6943]

You didn't mention capsicum, chilli, eggplant or okra. When would you recommend sowing/plantjng out? Thank you

[@michelifig6356]

Vasili also has his channel (in Vic)- Vasili's Garden

[@andreabaker7219]

Thank you John, although we are on north coast NSW we have always yearned to live in TAS and I’m storing all this info for that day. My veggie garden is about half your size and the only problem we have is keeping bandicoots and wallabies out with fencing etc, sometimes it’s called share cropping!

[@homesteading]

Build a wall! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Wmamuug955Zqc

[@andreabaker7219]

Thanks for the link, a corrugated iron fence would certainly do the trick but we are in a high wind area and the chicken wire with bird wire overlay is keeping them out so far. On our 1 acre the wildlife have the run of about half the area.

[@nutequest]

Well I’m in QLD but similar seasons as I’m in the coldest part. Our last frost is mid October. Do you grow melons there?

[@homesteading]

We have experimented with cold climate melons, but they don't do very well as our summers don't really get hot enough.

[@mce_AU]

My biggest problem is Lettuce. It grows really leggy. Any tips? Am in Melbourne.

[@homesteading]

This usually occurs if you are growing a "cool season" lettuce in warm weather. Try different varieties. Remember Melbourne can get much hotter then here in TAS (in summer) so maybe use shadecloth in hot weather?

[@mce_AU]

@@homesteading Thanks for your suggestion. Cheers.

[@loriscook5231]

Is your garden a full time or part time job, how much can be done if you work full time at a job and only have the weekend to do most of the gardening

[@homesteading]

Our garden is part time - I also work part time off the homestead. Growing a good veggie garden only takes a couple of hours a week if managed correctly.

[@greghomestead8366]

Just found and subbed your channel. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. Even though the wife and I live on the other side of the earth I learned a few things. Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan
