Do 37 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: you find that the knowledge of general knowledge of people? Now? 38 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: Of course we've got the Internet the rest of it, 39 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: but the general knowledge of people with so many shows 40 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: is much higher, and they know like a hell of 41 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: a lot. 42 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: People do know a lot, which is great. You know, 43 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: there was I don't know if you remember the time 44 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: of COVID, but we got into gardening. You know, people 45 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: really did get behind it and really saw the benefits 46 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: of it and increase their own personal knowledge, which is 47 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: a great thing. You know, when people are interested in gardening, 48 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: they're happy to tell each other about it and make 49 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: sure that everyone can do it. It's not like this 50 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: is something I can do, and I'm not going to 51 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 2: tell you how to do it. People are really into 52 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: it and really happy to share their knowledge, so I 53 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: love it. 54 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: Well. 55 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: The weather is finally cooling down now, which means you 56 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: sort of feel more inspired to get out in the 57 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: garden because it's not so hot. But then again, I 58 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: often think, but what do you do at this time 59 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: of the year. You're meant to wait until spring to 60 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: do stuff. What can you do going into winter? 61 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: Now is the best time of year to be out 62 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: in the garden because, like you said, it's getting cooler, 63 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: but the soil is still nice and warm. So if 64 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: you're thinking of planting a hedge or planting out a garden, 65 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: now is the time. 66 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: To do it. 67 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: It will establish really well up into winter, and then 68 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: come spring it will just go gangbusters. So you can 69 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: get into the veggie patch too. You can get into 70 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: all the brassicas, the cauliflowers, the broccolis, all of that 71 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: stuff that needs to be planted now, so there is 72 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: plenty you can do. 73 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 3: A lot of people downsizing as well, Charlie. Of course, 74 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: with what's going on with housing, a lot of people 75 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 3: getting smaller places. There's a lot of small guard's balconies 76 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 3: and courtyards, and I would imagine that's a whole new 77 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: business in itself. 78 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 2: Absolutely it is. You know, small space gardening is massive 79 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: at the moment and you don't actually need to have 80 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: any soil to be a gardener. You can grow in pots, 81 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: you can grow and grow bags. There's lots you can 82 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: do to get a bit of greenery in your life. Yeah. 83 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes having a smaller space is easier than a gigantic space. 84 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: You know, you can really bespoke it. 85 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, You start to think about every single tiny 86 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: detail and you can make something look really really special 87 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: if it's small, whereas if it's a big, big garden 88 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: it can be a little bit overwhelming in you often 89 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: forget the detail because of the size. 90 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: Bloody weeds as well. It drove be crazy, there is that. 91 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 92 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Well, the place to be to get all the tips 93 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: for a garden, big or small is the Perth Garden Show. 94 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: It's McCallum Park in vic Park from tomorrow until Sunday.
