GARDEN TOUR: Winter Vegetables, Cellar & Cook-Up | Urban Homestead
Published 2024-06-16
In this episode, I’ll show you our backyard setup of 22 no-dig beds, our cellar, beehive and more. It’s winter, but we’re still growing, harvesting and of course…eating! Homegrown meals are the ultimate incentive to grow food not lawns. Stay tuned until the end to see what we cook up with delicious produce we’ve picked on our garden tour.

I Love The idea to work fool Time and have a producing garden at the same Time, to provide great quality food. No need to quit normal life, work. 😊❤
-
Every thing FRESH from your own garden can't beat that. Yummie!!!
-
Yay ... I look for Melbourne gardeners. I'm around the Frankston area, and still have my garden L-Plates on. I'm impressed with your garden and your videos. Well done, I will keep watching to see your garden journey 😀

I’m 23 living in a small town called Burringbar (near Byron Bay). I usually hate watching Aussie gardeners because for what ever reason they annoy me 😂. Glad to say you are the least annoying Aussie you-tuber I’ve come across! Happy Gardening from a Flower farmer and avid vegetable gardener! Kirra

I can really relate to your gardening style and like your friendly presenting manner. Look to following you. from the UK

Impressed by how much you’ve got going in June!

Loving the content Ben. Authentic, great pacing, relaxing vibe and fun mixed in. Just need to get my head around the fact that June is winter. Cheers!

Yum! Its great to see a new Aussie homesteading channel start up. Its awesome to watch you cooking with what you grow. I have a micro food forest and veggie garden in Kalbarri WA - bit hotter than Melbourne - summer is our "not much growing season" - and have similar issues with broccoli....Maaan that stuff takes forever to do anything 🤣
-
Looks amazing! I love finding Melbourne creators cause it feels so much more similar to my own growing conditions. I haven't been having much success with my brassicas either. I read that blood and bone should be applied every two weeks so I'm trying that now and have seen some improvements.

Hello, been looking for a good local YouTube gardener and loving the content so far. Looks like a great yard, those fruit trees are ridiculous! Our wee patch is in Geelong.

Nice garden and food looks really delicious!
-
Fav so far! Love a fruit tree ❤

Just discovered your channel. It's great to have more Aussie gardening content. I live in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains NSW which is a cool climate. Looking forward to catching up with your other videos. All the best.

The gadern is full of vegetable and fruit trees.this is incredible beautiful. Im a new subbie

So excited to have found your channel! I love seeing beautiful, productive gardens — and yours is definitely one 😍 What an amazing lunch!! I’m from the USA, so this might not help you with your brassicas, but I found varieties specifically tailored to my area, and that made a big difference in the amount of success I had. I also covered them with insect netting and interplanted with dill. I noticed a lot of predatory wasps keeping caterpillars at bay. Good luck!! 🥦

Hi from the Grampians.... Fantastic garden, I'm so jealous that you have a cellar. Thank you soooo much for not Americanizing, whilst I love watching some of their content, I hate the way some Aussies use names and measurements not used here. Your brassica's are lovely and leafy, you can actually cook the leaves - they cook up really well with some vinegar in the water. 💜💜💜

Tuyệt vời quá bạn ơi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love your videos! BIG inspiration! - I want to be able to set something similar up hopefully in the future! 👍

I am going to spray 60% full cream milk (shop bought) and 40% water on the aphids this year, it supposed to work.
