in the greenhouse because I have to check on my seeds every day
I'm gonna do a little bit of a garden takeover
good morning it is Wednesday and it is day two of no storms so we are going to be leaving the house
today and we're going to go on a little bit of a road trip a little bit of Adventure because we are
starting to get a little bit of cabin fever so we're going to go and visit a really nice cafe
that has been I can't even believe I haven't visited it yet it's um not very far away and
it always looks amazing when I see other people visiting so I can't wait to go and check it out
but I'm just in the greenhouse because I have to check on my seeds every day
see if they've popped up so let's take a look
do a little hollyhocks popped up I've got them in the plastic recycled thing that I found because
mum um literally keeps everything which is Handy and that gives it a little bit more moisture and
humidity to get those seeds to pop up in this warm environment in the greenhouse that is only
taken I think four days for those seeds to pop up so those are hollyhock which are edible flowers
which will grow really tall and be really nice statement pieces in the garden to attract the
bees and to have beautiful edible flowers um so yeah I might need to plant some more seeds
we'll have to go through a stash and see what she's got
's out actually getting pretty warm so we've just been for a light breakfast brunch at the Helena
Bay Cafe and now we are at teal Bay soaking up some sunshine picking up rubbish off the beach
nice stay up
today I am in Hamilton New Zealand and I'm at my brother's place and I'm gonna do a little
bit of a garden takeover so it's Friday today and my brother and his wife are at work they've
spent the last three weeks with us up north and um they are also doing renovations on the house
so their Gardens are a little bit neglected so I'm gonna get stuck in I'm going to do some
before and afters and see what we can plant and I'm also going to give their house plants
a little bit of love so we've got lots of weeding to do we've got to strip the beds get them prepped
probably put in a little bit of extra good compost and soil and then we can go planting so I did ask
my brother last night and I can't really remember what he said I know he said no bok choy and that's
all I can remember so hello little dog um my little helper get his Gardens producing
food because he's got the spaces they're all ready to go there's some wild things growing so
we'll have to see what we can find um but yeah let's get stuck in
so we've got a passion fruit Vine here there's a lot of stuff going on down here
um I can see potatoes so there's some potatoes popping up um
I'm not sure what else
shopping I've got a whole bunch of plants here um so I'll let you know what I bought just like
my last video I have bought quite a few seedlings seed trays so that they're already established so
they can start growing because we are already well into the season here oh it just got windy
um all right we've got some thyme mixed lettuce what is this more mixed lettuce celery
kohlrabi Sage calendula parsley mint and some of these herbs are going in a planter inside
so I'm not going to put mint in the garden because it will go wild a more calendula
um peas Perpetual spinach which is a really good perennial spinach and some strawberries
so the the garden beds are all prepped ready to go we just need to plant our seedlings in
um there was heaps of worms and we found a bunch of compost in the compost bin
so we've put fresh compost in to the gardens and a lot of weeding and now
I'll get to go plant red really and I do know that my sister-in-law loves a straight line but
it's a sustainable Holly takeover and it's going to be wild and random
all right so we've got a pot here which we've filled up with lots of good soil all this
rotted leaves there's so many worms in it basically like compost and
we're gonna plant a strawberry patch
so the strawberries can hang down it's a worm and so I'm just gonna pick off any of
the flowers or fruits um that are on these like this one I'm just gonna pick that off
so that the plants can put all the energy into growing big and strong before they start to fruit
and they will cover all of this ugly bit
so in this Garden we've got all salad stuff so there's some calendula which is an Edible Flower
and this can go in salad as well as baby lettuces mixed salad greens got a kohlrabi
Perpetual spinach celery all mixed in and then we've got some peas
around this frame so the peas can drop here and those will be really good in salads as well
and then more um little celeries spinach kohlrabi the Pea
so it doesn't look like much at the moment but this is going to grow and be Lush and full of food
right outside the front door
s to all the fruit here that's what I want to know who gets to eat
all the food at the gardens does anyone know
