And 26 00:01:14,413 --> 00:01:17,253 Speaker 3: this is, I suppose what gardening is about, because if 27 00:01:17,293 --> 00:01:19,333 Speaker 3: you go to the Potannic gardens or to other places, 28 00:01:19,453 --> 00:01:23,053 Speaker 3: or for a walk around the neighborhood, you'll find a 29 00:01:23,093 --> 00:01:26,213 Speaker 3: lot of people have got some seriously nice stuff growing. 30 00:01:26,813 --> 00:01:29,893 Speaker 3: And and my my favorite thing is always say go 31 00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:31,653 Speaker 3: and knock on the door and say excuse me, what 32 00:01:31,813 --> 00:01:34,093 Speaker 3: is that and with a bit of like you end 33 00:01:34,173 --> 00:01:35,173 Speaker 3: up with a cutting. 34 00:01:35,173 --> 00:01:38,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, too right, too right, You've got yeah, sorry. 35 00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:41,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what it's about, isn't it. 36 00:01:41,773 --> 00:01:45,973 Speaker 2: Oh you've got a few little varietals to talk us through. 37 00:01:46,893 --> 00:01:47,453 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. 38 00:01:47,773 --> 00:01:51,653 Speaker 3: We I had I've had a really old tunnel house 39 00:01:51,813 --> 00:01:54,893 Speaker 3: that finally kind of didn't work anymore. I mean a 40 00:01:54,893 --> 00:01:57,133 Speaker 3: bit of a bit of a big wind and everything 41 00:01:57,133 --> 00:01:58,693 Speaker 3: went a bit down to gurgle. So I've got a 42 00:01:58,733 --> 00:02:01,533 Speaker 3: smaller one back and made it up. But that actually 43 00:02:01,933 --> 00:02:05,293 Speaker 3: the funny thing with that was I got a new 44 00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:08,093 Speaker 3: tunnel house that we actually put together probably the day 45 00:02:08,133 --> 00:02:11,453 Speaker 3: before Christmas in the end, and that means everything was 46 00:02:11,493 --> 00:02:14,173 Speaker 3: too late to put in there, you know, tomatoes and 47 00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:18,253 Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. So I decided to have 48 00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:21,453 Speaker 3: a look at what else I can use in that 49 00:02:21,573 --> 00:02:25,573 Speaker 3: tunnel house that I like and that would still work, 50 00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:29,733 Speaker 3: or I can experiment with how it's going to work 51 00:02:29,933 --> 00:02:33,533 Speaker 3: between now and autumn and even winter. So I took 52 00:02:33,573 --> 00:02:38,253 Speaker 3: a few things. I got an interesting thing from King Seeds, 53 00:02:38,293 --> 00:02:42,053 Speaker 3: sort of a thing that goes online, and I thought, oh, 54 00:02:42,093 --> 00:02:45,053 Speaker 3: here we go. I've got a snail vine. And I thought, 55 00:02:45,573 --> 00:02:49,853 Speaker 3: snail vine. That has always been one of my favorite 56 00:02:49,973 --> 00:02:56,373 Speaker 3: looking things, an heirloom vine with hyper perfumed spiraled flowers 57 00:02:56,413 --> 00:03:01,733 Speaker 3: and things like that. And it looks literally like snails 58 00:03:02,653 --> 00:03:03,893 Speaker 3: in a purple flowers. 59 00:03:04,373 --> 00:03:07,693 Speaker 2: You see, They're amazing. I look at the photo. Does 60 00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:08,453 Speaker 2: look incredible. 61 00:03:09,413 --> 00:03:12,133 Speaker 3: It is beautiful. So here comes the thing. 62 00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:12,733 Speaker 2: Uh. 63 00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:16,493 Speaker 3: They've got a wonderful fragrance. But they germinate usually very 64 00:03:16,573 --> 00:03:19,133 Speaker 3: quickly when you put put the seeds in. So if 65 00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:20,853 Speaker 3: I can do that now, as soon as I get 66 00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:25,333 Speaker 3: those seeds, which I have, I can literally start this up. 67 00:03:26,013 --> 00:03:29,173 Speaker 3: And you get them in full sun, you have to 68 00:03:29,733 --> 00:03:32,053 Speaker 3: place them and all that sort of stuff. They're good 69 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:35,613 Speaker 3: for for warm areas in New Zealand, so the north especially, 70 00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:38,213 Speaker 3: but even in the cooler regions you can have them, 71 00:03:38,573 --> 00:03:41,773 Speaker 3: but then they work like annuals, not as perennials that 72 00:03:41,853 --> 00:03:44,213 Speaker 3: come back time and time again. So what I think 73 00:03:44,253 --> 00:03:47,213 Speaker 3: I should do is put a few out now in 74 00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:50,373 Speaker 3: the tunnel house and keep a couple for a spring 75 00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:53,693 Speaker 3: next year, you know what I mean. And that's so 76 00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:55,973 Speaker 3: that's that's that's number one. I thought that was a 77 00:03:56,013 --> 00:03:59,573 Speaker 3: clever ready and I love that one. The second one 78 00:03:59,653 --> 00:04:04,373 Speaker 3: is Echinops the blue globe. Now you see the photograph 79 00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:10,613 Speaker 3: there in the blue, yes, god it is, and reasonably 80 00:04:10,853 --> 00:04:18,093 Speaker 3: sharp plants as well. Pollinators love them steel blue. If 81 00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:20,893 Speaker 3: you want pollinators in your garden, get that there. And 82 00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:24,733 Speaker 3: it doesn't look just great, you get everybody that needs 83 00:04:24,773 --> 00:04:28,013 Speaker 3: to be in your garden attracted by that particular plant, 84 00:04:28,013 --> 00:04:31,853 Speaker 3: the Echinops. That's the one. So and then the third 85 00:04:31,893 --> 00:04:35,613 Speaker 3: one that I found was another e word, echinasia luster. 86 00:04:36,453 --> 00:04:39,333 Speaker 3: Now if you look at that, there are so many 87 00:04:39,453 --> 00:04:44,173 Speaker 3: varieties of that leuster that that would be in itself 88 00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:47,973 Speaker 3: a really nice thing to have in your garden around 89 00:04:47,973 --> 00:04:51,413 Speaker 3: the lawn say, or maybe in the lawn. Bits and pieces. 90 00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:56,693 Speaker 3: Large flowering ornamentals cone flowers as they're known as, and 91 00:04:56,733 --> 00:05:01,093 Speaker 3: they're flowering the first year from seed. That's very very quick. 92 00:05:02,213 --> 00:05:04,173 Speaker 3: And but here comes the thing. If you have got 93 00:05:04,213 --> 00:05:07,413 Speaker 3: some seeds, you do some stratifying. And I think that's 94 00:05:07,413 --> 00:05:09,733 Speaker 3: a really nice word for people who are not quite 95 00:05:09,813 --> 00:05:12,813 Speaker 3: sure about what it means. It means you're chilling your 96 00:05:12,933 --> 00:05:15,693 Speaker 3: seeds in the fridge for a couple of weeks before 97 00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:19,133 Speaker 3: you sew it, and the chilling makes them go yep. 98 00:05:19,293 --> 00:05:19,933 Speaker 3: I can do that. 99 00:05:21,173 --> 00:05:23,013 Speaker 2: Last, but not least, the green. 100 00:05:24,293 --> 00:05:29,053 Speaker 3: The cauliflower, Yeah, yeah, green, much lime green. It is 101 00:05:29,093 --> 00:05:32,773 Speaker 3: the most beautiful cauliflower that you can get. Nice change 102 00:05:32,773 --> 00:05:36,253 Speaker 3: from the typical white ones. Of course, vigorous plant and 103 00:05:36,293 --> 00:05:39,173 Speaker 3: here you go. They give you one to one and 104 00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:43,613 Speaker 3: a half kilo of weight just like that. So don't 105 00:05:43,653 --> 00:05:47,213 Speaker 3: overlook them, don't overcook them, because you retain you. You 106 00:05:47,293 --> 00:05:50,613 Speaker 3: don't get the green color. Dagg do it. Do it 107 00:05:50,613 --> 00:05:52,853 Speaker 3: as quick as you can. But the cool thing is 108 00:05:52,933 --> 00:05:55,253 Speaker 3: these things you can do in autumn and that's the 109 00:05:55,333 --> 00:05:55,813 Speaker 3: thing to do. 110 00:05:55,933 --> 00:05:57,853 Speaker 2: Thank you.
