So how was we growing strawberries before all the fancy fertilisers and knowledge on chemicals
Thankyou very much for this information, fellow gardner. I do have a query, I had to uproot and replace my potted rosemary which had root-rot due to heavy rains, would you happen to know how long does the garden variety species take to recover??
Do you know what animal is gnawing at the base of the geranium stalks? Southern california in a canyon near a stream
What a great video. You got straight into the useful info without a big story or lead-in. Thank you.
Oxalis… aka sour grass. Anyone else used to rip this out and suck the stem as kids ?
As our tree is over 3years old and never had any lemons, if I put blood and bone on the tree would that be a start, it is August now,
Shame you missed robusta.
Thank you so much. Due to neglect mine has sprawled out very widely with a few leggy, woody stems. Now at least I have an idea on how to rejuvenate it once it has finished flowering. Spring in another 3 weeks so I’ll sharpen my shears. Mine is the Tuscan Blue variety. I don’t have a dehydrator so would it be okay to dry extra leaves in an oven?
Fantastic..
Thank you for this interesting video. I am eager to learn more about Australian flora.
okay but i need to cut the entire bush because it's overgrown so i need to more than tip prune. i need to take off entire 'branches'.
I’ve got the same problem but my best bet would be to find the central area of the bush that you want to keep, then cut the really leggy parts right back down or off until you see a roundish or oval shape developing from the central area, then prune that back by 1/4 as she mentioned. You need to make sure to only prune it into the greener wood because the harder, browner wood won’t regrow as quickly if at all. Best of luck.
Great, Thank you.
I am growing these for the first time in the Midwest USA. I'm looking around for advice on the best time to harvest. I see you mention they have yellow stripes so perhaps I'll wait to see yellow stripes. Thank you!
Thank you for this information
I got a 10 inch pot before I saw your video and I tried lightly to loosen the roots I was to scared to loosen them a lot the pot is a self watering should I get a smaller pot ? The soil isn't to the top it's a few inches short of the top. Any suggestions ?
My PASSION FRUIT flowers always aborts and am losing over hundreds of flower weekly. Please help me out...
One aspect you didn't cover: When I first started planting natives, there were quite a few small bird species present. I've created a garden that is now the property of a large gang of Noisy Miners who actively drive off all other species, and are - well, noisy. I'm working filling out the mid- and lower story with plants that might discourage Noisy Miners and give cover for smaller, more likeable birds. Yes, also hate your music. Waiting on hold music from hell.
and for lizards etc too if you put in a pipe for cover, and a small water bowl for birds etc
I have become friends with the local ww's since I moved here 6 months ago (rockingham,Perth). I'm naughty, I like to feed them meal worms. they are extremely vocal and brave - so I love them. I didn't have any live worms today, so I tried to feed them some dried ones - they stuck their noses up, lol. cutest little things in the world. love hearing them sing in the mornings.
Hi, Great Job, Doing good, like and Love your way of gguide. Thanks for information.
Good fertilizer ?
What magnolia is more likely to not be destroyed by deer?
You need to pronounce grevillea differently!
Hi my fruit is falling and they are not ripe. The inside is all white and dry ,any suggestions?
Music interferes with your explanation.It is way too loud. PLease lower or omit.
i wanna cry when you said that Rosemary can be hard pruned if the stem were already brown, i tossed it away with heavy heart because my cat poop on it and i didn't notice, after a week it become brown starting from the bottom 😭😭
Manage to save several cuttings and replanted it, i wish it will grown into a beautiful like its mother 😢i mean the main bush that dying
EXCELLENT video!
Thankyou! I have not had any flowers - had the Lilly for 2 years. Any suggestions?
What is the most common issue ppl have with growing rosemary is they over water.
You’re right. It’s a hardy plant similar to lavender which doesn’t require a lot of water. I grow them both and only water them once a week.
I had 2 overgrown japonicas that I recently pruned back 30% Because they had many internal cross branches , Some diseased leaves and were too tall and too dense. The issue is that a large shade tree that I now realize was protecting them had to be taken down in April And now the japonicas are getting beaten in the afternoon by the harsh north central Florida sun . We are also in a drought and I started watering them in the early morning to hydrate until it starts raining again. Just noticed this morning the leaves aren't that dark green anymore and a few of the leaves are literally burned. In the past, about 6 years ago in the spring after flowering i did a really hard prune. About 60% of plant removed to mostly branches and very few leaves. they recovered nicely after a prolonged period of shock i suppose and came back super full. These are well established plants that have been on the property probably 30 years. I left more leaves on this time.Mainly.Because I realized it was kind of late to be pruning the japonicas. I have learned that japonicas really don't like the harsh sun that these sansaqua can tolerate. They are north facing plants but get plenty of shade in the morning from the forest behind the house. It's mainly the afternoon sun and the fact that I pruned sort of late that i'm concerned about. I have not fertilized though I was considering giving them a small amount of 10 10 10 Or some liquid miracle gro for acid loving plants. Any suggestions ?
My little gold rush is my favourite.
Thank dear for sharing the information with all details I need to consider
Thankyou. Very interesting
Fabulous. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
Can I put rubber mulch around d lemon tree
Any palstic could damage your plant and mulch is everything organic
Whats a dynamic lifter?
It's a type of fertilizer
A nice overview, and the links are very helpful. The music however, is maddening!
Noted!
I love Grevalias! I have 3 varieties in my garden!
Erimophilla genus also is very good Australian native. Very fast growing. Attracts very small honey eaters.
Thanks
Thank you 💚
No problem 😊
My rosemary bushes are the lushes in the lands. Many can’t grow it or even able to keep it alive more than season. In 3 years my bushes are nearly 4 ft tall by 4ft tall, so bushy & lush.
What care did you take for your rosemary? Can you please tell me
Bragger😂😂
Help. My peace Lily is looking sickly. It’s definitely root bound and needs a bigger pot. What is the best food to give it. I’m going to pot it up into the next sized pot for starters and remove dying leaves.
Bravissima❤
Thank you❤️
Thanks for a great video, I've got so many of these weeds.
Thank you for your video my gerainiums leaves were wilted after I repotted them so I cut the leaves back plus they were abit lanky looking to
I have a lot of weeds after the council put in a footpath in front of my house, the new grass they laid died in a week then weeds replaced it, there is some tuff there with needles so sharp its worse then binidi and the have some nerve system that they close up with touched, then there is also some grass that grows in a bunch that the mower cant cut without stalling the edger struggles to cut through, and other weeds that grow to many feet tall in a short time. I did not see anything I have in your video, so I guess there is a much bigger range of weeds or problem grasses.
You missed half of the WA weeds!!
Your CZcams videos have lots of good information and are well filmed but the background music is so annoying. Gardening is suppose to be calming that music certainly doesn’t do that.
I have those black spots and now know it's rust - thanks I will treat my plant 👍
Beautiful
