00:00Ho Ho Ho!
00:02Hey!
00:04Hey!
00:06Hey!
00:08Hey, honey!
00:10Hey!
00:12Hey!
00:14Ooh!
00:16Hey!
00:18Hey!
00:20Hey, buddy!
00:22Hey!
00:24Hey!
00:26Hello and welcome to Gardening Australia
00:36and to Sydney's iconic and inspirational botanic gardens.
00:41You know, this time of the year really is ideal
00:45for getting out into your local public garden, nursery,
00:49community garden or even just spending some time in your own patch.
00:53We've got all that and more coming your way.
00:58Where some might see a blank wall,
01:01an intrepid gardener sees an opportunity.
01:04I'll be planting a vertical garden.
01:07I'm visiting a town renowned for its Australian Wildflower Festival
01:11to meet the community coming together through their love of plants.
01:15There are signs of those wax flowers.
01:18They're huge.
01:20Today, I'm going to show you everything you need to know
01:23about starting your own raised bed salad patch.
01:27It's the easiest way to grow more food in less space.
01:31And if you're a foodie who loves to garden,
01:33then this story will appeal.
01:35I'm branching out to explore some of the more unusual citrus varieties.
01:38Of all the joy that spring brings, for many, it creates challenges.
01:49I'm talking allergies.
01:52Plant pollen is one of the major causes.
01:55But do you know which plants and how they cause these problems?
01:59Well, Jane is on her way to meet the experts and find out.
02:04Have you ever heard of the Burkhard spore trap?
02:15If you have, you're a step ahead of me.
02:19I'm at the University of Melbourne in the CBD
02:22and I'm heading onto the top of this building
02:25to find out why they've got one mounted on the roof.
02:30Wow, Ed.
02:32This is not...
02:32What a view, eh?
02:34Oh, look at the city over here.
02:36Yeah.
02:36Associate Professor Ed Ubican
02:38is a biologist who's been specialising in pollen allergy research
02:43for over 25 years.
02:45And Ed's work is centred around this unassuming
02:48but very important little machine.
02:51The Burkhard spore trap
02:52has been quietly chugging along here for decades,
02:56taking daily samples of the pollen in Melbourne's air.
03:01Very simple machine.
03:03It's got a motor down here,
03:05which is sucking in air through this little nozzle here.
03:08at 10 litres per minute.
03:10So if you ever get asked in a trivia quiz
03:12what the rate we breathe at,
03:14it's 10 litres per minute.
03:15I shall remember that forever.
03:18But this is trying to impersonate a human nose.
03:21Yes.
03:21So that little slot there is taking all the pollen in
03:24that's coming from this direction.
03:26Yeah, and then behind that,
03:28we've got a clockwork motor.
03:32Yep.
03:33And then we've got a glass microscope slide here.
03:36Yep.
03:36So over 24 hours,
03:37we get a representation of whatever pollen is in the air
03:41smeared across this microscope slide.
03:43And you change that over every day?
03:45We change that over every day.
03:47Wow.
03:47Now, let's just remind people,
03:49what is pollen?
03:50Because it's sort of an invisible thing,
03:52if you like.
03:53Well, the closest analogy that we have
03:55in the human body is sperm.
03:58For a plant,
03:59they produce both pollen and eggs.
04:01Yeah.
04:01And then the magic of producing a seed
04:04happens when that pollen reaches the egg cell
04:06and fertilisation occurs.
04:08So how does pollen get from out there
04:11right into the CBD?
04:13Basically, there's two ways in which plants
04:16get pollen to the female reproductive tract.
04:20And one of those is the most familiar to everybody,
04:23and that's using birds and animals
04:25to carry pollen around.
04:26But we're not interested in that type of pollen at all
04:29because that rarely gets into the air.
04:30What we're interested in are plants that use wind,
04:34and we've got a lot of wind at the moment.
04:36It's the doozy of a day.
04:37It's a great day for wind-pollinated plants.
04:40And they're just producing huge amounts of pollen
04:42because the chances of any one of those pollen grains
04:45reaching a flower is minute, minuscule.
04:48Yes.
04:48And so they have to produce a huge amount of pollen
04:50to have any chance of success at all.
04:53Wow.
04:53And so we get that through our nose
04:56when it's around,
04:58and our little machine here, our little friend,
04:59sucks it in, and it does the same thing.
05:03To see the pollen properly,
05:05we're going to need to use the microscope
05:06in Ed's lab in the northern suburbs.
05:12Once we get back to the lab,
05:14we take the slide
05:15and just put a few drops of a stain
05:18called Kalberla stain,
05:19which colours the pollen grains pink,
05:22and we put a coverslip on that,
05:24and then we seal around the coverslip
05:26with some nail polish.
05:27And when that's all dry,
05:29we're ready to look at it under the microscope.
05:37So what's happening in this room?
05:39Well, this is the pollen count central.
05:42This is where a lot of the pollen counting goes.
05:43Pollen counting is a manual process
05:45that people get on the microscopes
05:47and they go across
05:49and they look at each pollen grain
05:50and they identify the types of pollen
05:53that have been captured on our slides.
05:55It can be hundreds, if not thousands,
05:57of pollen grains,
05:58and that can take a while to count.
05:59My goodness.
06:00It's an amazing job.
06:01And how many people are involved in that?
06:03Oh, well, we can have up to 10 people in here.
06:05It's seasonal work.
06:07It's this time of year,
06:08the spring and early summer time of year,
06:10when a lot of the plants are flowering
06:12and producing that pollen.
06:13So what are we going to see from yesterday?
06:16Oh, well, let's have a look.
06:19Oh, wow.
06:20Oh, OK.
06:21These are cutie.
06:22Yeah.
06:23This is pine pollen.
06:25We think of it as looking like Mickey Mouse.
06:26It's got two big ears on it,
06:29just like Mickey Mouse.
06:30Those are big air sacs.
06:31So this is a classic feature
06:33in wind pollinated plants,
06:35helps it fly,
06:36helps it float in the air.
06:38Wow.
06:38And these pollen grains can travel
06:40hundreds, if not thousands of kilometres.
06:43So what's this one?
06:44This is public enemy number one.
06:46This is grass pollen.
06:47Ah.
06:48Now, that's obviously dispersed by wind.
06:50Mm-hm.
06:51And there must be thousands of them in the air.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Well, we've got grass from here
06:56to the South Australian border.
06:57And that is also the direction
06:59of our prevailing winds.
07:00So we're getting a lot of grass
07:01being carried into the city
07:02from the western districts of Exxon.
07:04So it's the number of the grasses
07:06that are really the, as you say,
07:09public enemy number one
07:10because of their affecting of the allergies.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Some things can be quite allergenic,
07:15but if we don't see them very often,
07:16very few people develop allergies to them.
07:19But guys like this that we see all the time
07:22and in large numbers,
07:24they cause a lot of allergy problems.
07:26It's interesting about people's perception too.
07:28They see a plant.
07:29I always used to have it on the radio
07:31when I was answering gardening questions.
07:33Yeah.
07:33A wattle is in flower.
07:34Mm-hm.
07:34They get asthma
07:35and they think it's attributed to the wattle.
07:37Now, what is your stance on that?
07:40Well, we can look at a fair few of these slides.
07:43We don't see an awful lot of wattle pollen in the air.
07:47Mostly it sinks to ground
07:48and so we don't think of it being commonly in the air
07:52and there's not an awful lot of it around.
07:53In 2016, Melbourne experienced
08:00one of the worst thunderstorm asthma events ever recorded.
08:04It led to a city-wide crisis
08:05with thousands hospitalised and ten people dead.
08:10Thunderstorm asthma is a particular weather conditions,
08:13typically associated with a thunderstorm,
08:17and high levels of grass pollen.
08:19In Melbourne, it's grass pollen.
08:20Grass pollen itself is too big to get into the lungs.
08:25So it affects the eyes and the nose
08:27and other parts of the mouth
08:29and it can cause hay fever,
08:31but those weather conditions,
08:33they cause a fragmentation of the grass pollen
08:35into smaller, finer particles.
08:37Those particles are small enough to get into the lungs
08:40and that's where it causes asthma.
08:42And people found they couldn't do
08:45what's the most basic thing that people need to do,
08:48which is to breathe.
08:49And that's the trigger of asthma.
08:52Since that crisis,
08:53Ed's team have developed a way of forecasting
08:56severe pollen days
08:58so people and health services can prepare.
09:01Pollen counting is all about what happened yesterday.
09:04What people are mostly interested in
09:06is what is happening in the future,
09:08today and tomorrow.
09:09And for that, we have to go to the sky.
09:13And information from satellites
09:14which are looking at the greening of Australia
09:16as we come from winter into spring and summer.
09:21And it's the quality of those grasses,
09:23the vigour of those grasses,
09:24which is producing the pollen.
09:26And then it's all about moving that pollen
09:29from the places where it's produced
09:31out in the countryside
09:32and into the city where it can affect people.
09:35And one of those helpful things is the pollen app.
09:38It gives you a lot of information
09:39about what sorts of pollen are around
09:41for the next week.
09:42And you can also tell us about your symptoms.
09:44And then we can start to figure out
09:47a bit more about that pattern
09:48of hay fever in Australia.
09:54Pollen is crucial for life on Earth as we know it.
09:58But spare a thought for the researchers
10:00who are literally counting
10:01these microscopic grains of pollen by hand.
10:10What do you do when your potted bulbs
10:12have finished flowering?
10:13Growing bulbs in pots is a great way
10:15to add seasonal colour to your home and garden.
10:18But eventually they finish flowering.
10:21So you can actually plant them out
10:23carefully straight into the soil
10:25before they die down.
10:27And that's what I do with my hyacinths
10:29as I struggle to get them looking as good
10:31in pots in subsequent years.
10:33If, however, you want to keep them growing in pots,
10:36make sure that you feed the pots
10:37with slow-release fertiliser or liquid feed.
10:40That means as the bulb is dying down,
10:42and it takes that goodness down into the bulb.
10:45And that means next season you'll get great flowers.
10:48And when they're completely dormant,
10:50make sure you repot them with fresh potting media,
10:53and that means you'll have a great display of blooms
10:55for the next season.
10:56What is the name of this plant?
10:58What is the name of this plant?
10:59It often appears in segments,
11:01but I never mention it by name.
11:03It's a canna.
11:04Canna iridiflora.
11:06And it comes from the north of South America.
11:09You'd assume that it would be a tropical plant,
11:12but actually it comes from a montane, subtropical climate.
11:16In reality, it does better in warm temperate Sydney
11:20than it does here.
11:22It'll get twice as big,
11:23but in Sydney, it'll have a winter break.
11:27Here in the subtropics, it's smaller,
11:29but it flowers all year round,
11:31and birds absolutely love its nectar.
11:34Can you eat green almonds?
11:36Yes, you can.
11:41The best time to harvest them is in spring,
11:43when you actually need to thin the tree anyway
11:45to prevent the branches from getting too heavy and snapping.
11:48Simply pick them, slice them finely,
11:50and eat them as they are, or include them in salads.
11:53You can also fry them up with a bit of olive oil and garlic.
11:56They're delicious.
12:03Don't you just love that feeling of satisfaction
12:06you get when you complete a job?
12:08It might be that final shovel load
12:10in the big pile of mulch you've just shifted.
12:13It could be finishing off that hedge shaping and pruning
12:18that you've been working on.
12:20Either way, for us gardeners,
12:22this sort of change can provide a creative opportunity,
12:26and Josh reckons that plants are the solution.
12:29We've recently completed some planting
12:38on the eastern side of a small extension at home.
12:42A grapevine and a crepe myrtle
12:44to provide summer shade in the morning.
12:46Both are deciduous,
12:48so they'll drop their leaves
12:49and allow the winter light to shine through.
12:52A horizontal shade canopy
12:53is such an effective way
12:55to help keep a building cool.
12:57But you can also use plants
12:59to create vertical shade
13:00along the face of a building.
13:02And that's the plan here.
13:05Before you write this off
13:06as a tricky install by a tradie,
13:09this was a DIY job.
13:12Galvanised steel mesh like this
13:13is readily available
13:14from most hardware stores
13:16or steel suppliers.
13:17I've used the same type
13:20that was used to construct
13:21our gabion walls for consistency.
13:25A mate and I hung these panels
13:26in a couple of hours
13:27using screws and washers
13:30to fix the mesh to the studs
13:33that sit behind the cladding.
13:35We've also used some steel tube as spacers
13:38so the mesh sits 50mm off from the building.
13:42And importantly, it's really solid.
13:47For a lot of us,
13:50vertical gardens conjure up images
13:51of lush plantings in tropical settings.
13:55Singapore is one part of the world
13:57where this is done successfully
13:59on a grand scale.
14:02Perth's Mediterranean summer dry climate
14:05is a lot less forgiving.
14:06So I've thought through my plant selection
14:08and growing methods very carefully.
14:13Starting at ground level
14:15where there is soil,
14:16well, in my case,
14:18near Fremantle,
14:18it's sand.
14:20I'm adding some compost
14:21and a sprinkling of organic fertiliser.
14:27Then drip irrigation
14:28to provide efficient watering.
14:32Star jasmine is a strong grower
14:34that will climb and cover the mesh beautifully,
14:37providing dense coverage
14:38and masses of white,
14:41heavily scented flowers.
14:42Next, as we move up from ground level,
14:47we need hardy plants
14:48that don't require soil.
14:51Elkhorn ferns are a perfect fit
14:53and I'll be using a few
14:55in this vertical garden.
14:58I'm breaking up this plant
14:59into three,
15:01making sure there is at least
15:02one eye on each piece
15:04for the fronds to grow from.
15:06They're epiphytes,
15:10which means they grow
15:11off the ground
15:12on things like trees
15:13or in this case,
15:14a piece of external grade ply
15:17that I've painted
15:18and put some hooks on the back
15:20so I can hang it.
15:21I've also secured
15:22a bit of coyer matting
15:23to hold some moisture.
15:25All I have to do
15:26is wire these in place.
15:29The same process,
15:36again and again,
15:38gives me a trio
15:39of mounted elkhorns
15:40to hang on the mesh.
15:42These will catch rain in winter
15:44and will need hand watering
15:46every few days in summer
15:47and an occasional liquid fee.
15:52Another group of epiphytic plants
15:54that are good for vertical gardens
15:55are bromeliads like these
15:57and that's because their leaves
15:59form a natural cup
16:01to hold water
16:02in between drinks.
16:03You can see it down there.
16:04So all I'm going to do
16:05is pop them
16:07into these coyer mat
16:08ice cream cones
16:09or pouches
16:10to keep a bit of moisture
16:12around the stem.
16:13You can see all I've done
16:14is fold a piece over
16:15and clip that into place
16:16and that should slide in
16:18just like that.
16:21I'm securing them
16:22to the mesh with wire,
16:24placing them out
16:24so it looks nice
16:26and balanced.
16:27Tillandsia.
16:30It has to be the perfect plant
16:31for a vertical garden
16:33in a dry climate.
16:34Also known as air plants,
16:36it doesn't require
16:36any planting media.
16:38It gets all the moisture
16:39it needs
16:40from the atmosphere.
16:41All I'm going to do
16:42is tuck it in
16:44nice and snugly
16:45into the mesh
16:46and that's underway.
16:48Back at ground level
16:54I'm adding other plants.
16:56Dianella taz red
16:57and blue fescue.
16:59They're clumping grasses
17:00so they won't climb up
17:02the mesh
17:02but will fill out
17:03the garden bed
17:04at the base
17:04providing texture
17:06and contrast.
17:07and some mulch
17:11to finish it off.
17:16You can see it
17:17can't you?
17:17The star jasmine
17:18climbing up the frame
17:19spilling over the window
17:21and these epiphytes
17:22popping out
17:23as eye-catching features.
17:25Vertical gardens
17:26aren't just
17:26an aesthetically pleasing
17:28and effective way
17:29to screen
17:30or shade a building.
17:31They're also
17:32a really good use of space.
17:33perfect for small gardens
17:35or for people
17:36who just want
17:37to squeeze in
17:38more plants.
17:44All over the country
17:46native plant groups
17:47passionately celebrate
17:49Australian flora
17:50and in spring
17:52many of them
17:53put on a show.
17:57I'm at the gateway
17:58to one of the most
17:59revered plant places
18:00in the country
18:01Garrowood
18:03in western Victoria.
18:07It's also known
18:08as the Grampians
18:09National Park.
18:24And here
18:25in the nearby town
18:26of Pomonal
18:27it's no wonder
18:28that the culture
18:29of cultivation
18:29is so strong.
18:31It's home
18:31to one of the largest
18:33Australian plant society
18:34groups in Victoria
18:35and they put on
18:36one of the most
18:37renowned native flower
18:39shows in the country.
18:41No one
18:42is more excited
18:43about the event
18:44than show organiser
18:45Jocelyn King.
18:48This is the 40th anniversary
18:49of the Pomonal Flower Show
18:51and this is the set-up day.
18:53Everyone brings
18:54all the buckets in
18:55early in the morning.
18:57All the ones
18:57that are labelled
18:58we then take in
18:59and put on the tables
19:00in the hall
19:01which is where
19:02the main display is.
19:07All right.
19:08What have we got here?
19:08We've got a
19:09Tamazia
19:10grandiflora.
19:12Gosh, it's a good.
19:13Beautiful group of plants,
19:14isn't it?
19:14Where do we go?
19:15So we go,
19:16you're in the S's.
19:17Tamazia grandiflora,
19:18anything else?
19:20No.
19:21This is extraordinary.
19:22I mean, over 40 years
19:23you've had
19:25so many different plants
19:26come into the show
19:27that they now
19:28all have labels.
19:29So they see a specimen,
19:30they try and find the label
19:31and then what happens
19:32if you don't have the label?
19:33Mr John over there
19:34does the print.
19:35John makes a new label.
19:37There's a lot of learning
19:38to be done here.
19:39And so these have all
19:49come from members' gardens?
19:51That's right, yes.
19:52Probably at least
19:53eight to ten
19:54different gardens.
19:55What makes Pomonal
19:57such a hub
19:58for great gardens?
20:00I think it's just
20:01there's so many people
20:02who are interested
20:02in the native flora.
20:04We live right next
20:05to the Grampians
20:05so we all love
20:07going up there on walks
20:07and seeing all the wildflowers
20:09and I think most of us
20:10have tried to sort of
20:11bring it into our own gardens.
20:19And some of those
20:20keen gardeners
20:21are Donna and Trevor Newell
20:23who allow volunteers
20:24to pick flowers
20:25from their garden
20:26for the show.
20:29That's why we have the garden.
20:30We give so many flowers away.
20:32So it's a great feeling
20:33to be able to share our garden
20:34with everybody else.
20:38And this year
20:39some of the gardens
20:39that have traditionally
20:40contributed
20:41have been burnt.
20:43What happened here
20:44on this property?
20:4680% of it burnt
20:47just crept in
20:48enough to just singe
20:49a lot of plants.
20:50We lost two beautiful
20:51big banksias,
20:5212-year-old banksias
20:53and that was really sad
20:54because they're just
20:55so gorgeous.
20:57But we're lucky.
21:00We've still got our home
21:01so many haven't.
21:0246 homes were destroyed
21:06in the fire
21:07of February 2024
21:08including that
21:10of long-time
21:11Australian Plant Society
21:12member Phil Williams.
21:14He first arrived
21:15in Pomonal
21:16in 1976.
21:19We thought
21:20we want to build a house
21:21so we went
21:23and looked for
21:24a block of land
21:24and this was
21:26what we found.
21:27It grew into
21:28your family home
21:29but also into
21:30the local nursery.
21:32My wife started
21:33growing local plants
21:35because that's
21:36the sort of person
21:37she is
21:37and she sold
21:40the plants
21:40in the backyard
21:41of the house.
21:42She had a little
21:42greenhouse there
21:43and you can see
21:43the hoops of that
21:44over there.
21:46Ten years later
21:47Phil and his wife
21:48bought the block
21:48next door
21:49to expand
21:50their backyard nursery.
21:51We were growing
21:52all local
21:53native plants
21:54mainly.
21:56We realised
21:57that we had
21:58to grow a few
21:59Western Australian
22:00things
22:00people's gardens
22:01and so on.
22:02When I reached
22:03the age of 50
22:04I thought
22:05time for
22:06a change of scene
22:07I've been a teacher
22:08for 20 years or so
22:09and my wife
22:12kindly took me
22:13on as an apprentice
22:14in the nursery.
22:16And together
22:17we built up
22:18the business
22:19and we would
22:20grow for
22:20all the local
22:21land care groups.
22:23But it didn't
22:24stop there.
22:25What started
22:26as a business
22:26eventually
22:27grew into
22:28a much loved
22:29community asset.
22:31It wasn't
22:31really until
22:32my wife died
22:33that the
22:35community
22:36nursery
22:37idea
22:38really started
22:39to develop.
22:40That's when
22:41I really started
22:42connecting
22:42with the other
22:43groups
22:43and letting
22:45them use
22:46the space
22:46of the nursery
22:47and all the
22:47equipment
22:48and the watering
22:49and all that
22:50sort of stuff.
22:50And in February
22:51everything changed?
22:52Everything changed,
22:53yes.
22:55Fires had been
22:55around a couple
22:57of times before
22:58then but Pomonal
22:59had always basically
23:01escaped generally
23:03so I took off
23:05went to the relief
23:06centre in Stal
23:07thinking of course
23:09oh I'll be back
23:10after lunch
23:10but no
23:12it was all gone
23:14just like that.
23:17Right so the
23:17nursery,
23:18the house
23:19the nursery,
23:19the house,
23:20the garden,
23:21everything.
23:27Oh wow.
23:29Oh it's lovely
23:29in here.
23:30You're already
23:31growing plants.
23:32Yes.
23:33Yes.
23:34Oh.
23:35Oh these are
23:36survivors.
23:39These have been
23:40through the fire
23:40Millie.
23:42Look at that
23:43I'm still alive.
23:44These are
23:45chocolate lilies
23:46and in their
23:47natural state
23:49they die down
23:50in the summer
23:51to the underground
23:53part,
23:53the tubers
23:54and they've
23:55survived
23:55because they were
23:56dormant
23:57underneath the
23:58soil
23:58so the fire
24:00didn't affect
24:01them
24:01but when the
24:03weather cooled
24:03down
24:04and they got
24:05a bit of
24:06moisture
24:06they started
24:08to sprout again
24:09and they so
24:09have survived.
24:10It's pretty
24:11inspiring
24:12to have
24:12little plants
24:13like this
24:13to take the
24:14lead from
24:14isn't it?
24:15Oh it
24:15certainly is.
24:16It's a good
24:17example of
24:18survival
24:19in adverse
24:20circumstances.
24:23And so
24:24despite that
24:25adversity
24:26a small band
24:27of locals
24:27have come
24:28together
24:28to ensure
24:29the community
24:29nursery
24:30continues.
24:32Every
24:32Wednesday
24:33morning
24:33like clockwork
24:35we have a
24:36working bee
24:36here
24:37and anybody
24:38who wants
24:39to
24:40can come
24:40along
24:41and work
24:41in the
24:42nursery
24:42whatever
24:42work needs
24:43doing.
24:44And most
24:45of the work
24:46that's been
24:46done since
24:47the fire
24:47has not
24:48been pleasant
24:49and it has not
24:50been anything
24:50to do with
24:51plants.
24:51It's to do
24:52with clearing
24:52up the place
24:54making it
24:55possible to
24:55start again.
24:57It must feel
24:58really heartening
24:59to be able
25:01to provide
25:01that.
25:02Well it's
25:03what keeps
25:03me here
25:04no doubt
25:04about it.
25:06Yes.
25:10It's that
25:12communal plant
25:13spirit that
25:14the town
25:14is renowned
25:14for.
25:17And despite
25:18the devastation
25:19of the fires
25:19they are
25:20determined
25:20that the
25:21show
25:21goes on.
25:24President
25:24of the
25:25Australian
25:25Plant Society
25:26Grampians
25:27Group
25:27Fiona Lucas.
25:30It's not
25:31many places
25:32that you can
25:33come into
25:33a hall
25:34and be
25:35exposed
25:35to over
25:36200
25:37species
25:38if not
25:39more.
25:39We must
25:40do the
25:40count one
25:41day.
25:42But it
25:42is all
25:42about
25:43educating
25:43people
25:44that they
25:44can grow
25:45native
25:46plants.
25:46It doesn't
25:47have to be
25:48what we
25:48call exotic
25:50plants.
25:50Oh wow
26:08this is all
26:08Grampians
26:09plants.
26:10You know

27:55that through
27:56the fires
27:56and we just
27:58absolutely love

28:07at this
28:08very changed

28:10I imagine
28:11there's very
28:12hard moments
28:13when you're
28:13looking at it
28:14lots of
28:15memories of

30:12salad
30:12ingredients

30:17step-by-step
30:18how to
30:19plan and
30:20plant a
30:20really
30:21productive
30:21salad patch
30:22in a
30:23small
30:24raised area
30:25by dividing
30:26it up
30:27into 30
30:28centimetre
30:28squares
30:29first things
30:37first
30:37it's all
30:38about
30:39preparation
30:39I've been
30:41through here
30:41and cleared
30:42the previous
30:43crops that
30:43were growing
30:44and now
30:45I'm just
30:45adding
30:46a mix
30:46of some
30:47cow manure
30:48and compost
30:49to help
30:49replenish the
30:50soil
30:51ready
30:51to feed
30:53our next
30:53season's
30:54crops
30:55so what
31:00we're going
31:00to plant
31:00out today
31:01is a
31:02method of
31:02gardening
31:03called
31:03square foot
31:04gardening
31:05but for our
31:06purposes
31:07and in metric
31:08terms
31:08it's square
31:09metre gardening
31:09if you work
31:10it out
31:11that's roughly
31:11three grids
31:13wide
31:13and three
31:14grids
31:14high
31:14so that's
31:15a total
31:15of nine
31:17grids
31:17some are going
31:18to be seedlings
31:19some will be seed
31:21and some will be
31:22slightly more
31:23mature plants
31:24we're going to have
31:25a mix
31:26of vegetables
31:27and flowers
31:28so now
31:30it's time to
31:31transfer our
31:32plant
31:33onto the
31:34ground
31:34here in the
31:35garden
31:35so what you need
31:36is some
31:38stakes
31:38and a little
31:39bit of string
31:40I need to
31:42put
31:42one
31:43two
31:45that'll roughly
31:46be
31:4630 centimetres
31:48either side
31:48that way
31:4930 centimetres
31:51in between
31:52there
31:53and so on
31:54around the
31:55square
31:55and then
31:55I'll use my
31:57string
31:57to set it
31:58out
31:58when you
32:01see the
32:02grid
32:02it makes
32:03it really
32:03clear in
32:04your mind
32:04just how
32:05productive
32:06you can
32:07make this
32:07square
32:08so in
32:09these three
32:10beds
32:10I'm going
32:11to plant
32:11seeds
32:12in the
32:13first one
32:13I'm putting
32:14some rows
32:15of carrot
32:16so this one's
32:17going to be
32:18radish seeds
32:19and this one's
32:20going to be
32:20rows of
32:21cos lettuce
32:22and then
32:23along the
32:24edge
32:25I'm going
32:25to put
32:26some lettuce
32:26seedlings
32:27as well
32:28and that way
32:29I'll get
32:30lettuce
32:30for probably
32:31two and a half
32:32to three
32:33months
32:34or more
32:34then you don't
32:35have everything
32:36ready to harvest
32:37at once
32:38so all
32:39I'm going
32:39to do
32:40is make
32:41a small
32:42rill
32:42and when I
32:44put the
32:44seeds in
32:45I'm putting
32:46them in
32:46fairly
32:47liberally
32:48and as time
32:49goes on
32:49they can
32:50always be
32:51harvested
32:52and thinned
32:53or just
32:54cut out
32:55radish seeds
32:57and now
33:02cos lettuce
33:02seedlings
33:05as well
33:06so that's
33:08my seed
33:08planting
33:09complete
33:09now I'm
33:10planting the
33:11taller growing
33:12vegetables
33:12along this
33:13back edge
33:14the eastern
33:15side
33:16the reason
33:17for that
33:17is that
33:17I don't want
33:18them taking
33:19up and shading
33:21the sunlight
33:22on the rest
33:23of the vegetables
33:23so in this
33:24case in this
33:25back grid
33:26I thought
33:27I'd put
33:28the silver
33:29beet
33:29we've got
33:29one red
33:30leaf variety
33:31and your
33:32normal
33:32so that
33:33will fill
33:34this
33:34for repeat
33:35pick
33:36which is
33:36the main
33:37thing
33:37if you want
33:39to attract
33:39pollinators
33:40to your
33:40garden
33:40what better
33:41place to
33:41plant
33:42flowers
33:43than right
33:43in the
33:44centre
33:44to draw
33:45them in
33:46so right
33:47in the
33:47middle
33:47of our
33:48noughts and
33:49crosses
33:49checkerboard
33:50I'm putting
33:51flowers
33:51so I've
33:52got some
33:53alysium
33:53some sweet
33:54alice
33:55and then
33:56I've also
33:56got some
33:57lobelia
33:58and the
34:00bees
34:01and the
34:01pollinators
34:02and the
34:03butterflies
34:03will really
34:05love this
34:06so in this
34:10grid here
34:10along the
34:12edge
34:12I can grow
34:13some snow peas
34:14I'm putting
34:15up some
34:16mesh
34:16and the
34:17snow peas
34:17will climb
34:18up that
34:19mesh
34:19and trail
34:20all along
34:22the edge
34:23but before
34:24the mesh
34:25goes in
34:25I'm planting
34:26one of my
34:27faves
34:27thyme
34:28I mean
34:29what's a
34:30salad patch
34:30without herbs
34:31to garnish
34:32your delicious
34:33greens
34:33and this
34:34time
34:34it's basically
34:36going to
34:36fill that
34:37square
34:37and spill
34:38over the
34:39sleepers
34:39I love
34:41parsley
34:41now
34:42normally I'd
34:43plant it by
34:43seed
34:44I didn't
34:44have any
34:45seed
34:45so I
34:45got some
34:46seedlings
34:46key thing
34:48to remember
34:48here
34:49let it
34:50go to
34:50seed
34:50at the
34:52end of
34:52your season
34:53and then
34:54save the
34:54seed
34:55so that
34:55you can
34:56just
34:56spread it
34:57around
34:57next year
34:58and every
34:59year after
34:59in my
35:01final grid
35:01I've decided
35:02to fill the
35:03space with
35:03even more
35:04lettuce
35:04seedlings
35:05to make
35:06sure I
35:06have enough
35:07to keep
35:08repicking
35:08through the
35:09season
35:09and as a
35:12last little
35:13garnish
35:13around the
35:15edge of a
35:15couple of
35:16our grid
35:17squares
35:17I'm putting
35:18in some
35:19spring onions
35:19spreading them
35:20out and
35:21they'll create
35:21a nice
35:22border
35:22and last
35:24to go
35:24in is
35:25this
35:25frame
35:26which will
35:26support
35:27the
35:27snow peas
35:28our
35:28square metre
35:29plot
35:29is
35:30planted
35:30and now
35:31it's just
35:32a case
35:32of making
35:33sure you
35:34get it
35:34off to
35:35the best
35:35start
35:35by giving
35:36it lots
35:37of water
35:38over those
35:39establishing
35:39weeks ahead
35:41and then
35:42within about
35:43four to six
35:44weeks
35:44this will be
35:45producing
35:46lots of
35:47fresh greens
35:48for your
35:49table
35:49can I
35:56grow a
35:57climber in
35:57a pot
35:58well it
35:58all depends
35:59on the
35:59effect you're
36:00trying to
36:00create and
36:01the species
36:01of plant
36:02you want
36:02to use
36:03if you're
36:04trying to
36:04densely
36:05cover a
36:05large archway
36:06pergola
36:07or wall
36:08you're
36:08definitely
36:08better
36:09growing
36:09plants
36:10in the
36:10ground
36:10climbers
36:12in pots
36:13often don't
36:13reach their
36:14full potential
36:14because they've
36:15got a
36:15restricted
36:16root
36:16system
36:17and
36:17limited
36:18access to
36:18moisture
36:19and
36:19nutrients
36:20they can
36:20also be
36:21really hard
36:22to repot
36:22without damaging
36:23the established
36:24plant
36:25if your only
36:26option is to
36:27grow climbers
36:28vertically in
36:29pots
36:29make sure you
36:30choose species
36:31that aren't
36:31too vigorous
36:32like this
36:33variegated
36:33star jasmine
36:34or mandevilla
36:35or appleberry
36:36you can grow
36:37them up
36:38topiary frames
36:38like these
36:39and obviously
36:40choose pots
36:41that are really
36:42stable so they
36:43don't blow
36:43over
36:44big rampant
36:45climbers
36:46like wisteria
36:47glory vine
36:48and bougainville
36:49can be
36:50scunted
36:50in pots
36:50and will
36:51often break
36:51them trying
36:52to grow
36:52through into
36:53the ground
36:53if you're
36:54desperate to
36:55grow them
36:55grow them
36:56in something
36:56that's as
36:57big as you
36:57can get
36:58something like
36:58a wine
36:59barrel
36:59I don't know
37:06about you
37:06but citrus
37:07makes my
37:08world go
37:08round
37:08and it
37:09seems
