Save Seed, Harvest Garlic and Prep Beds in Spring | Gardening Australia

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:05Stake and tie the broccoli plant selected for seed saving so it stays supported.
1:25Overwintered Chantenay carrots are protected in wire cages and tended for seed production.
3:00Check garlic bulb size and clove development to judge readiness, and wait for dry weather to harvest.
4:38Chop winter green manure and cover it with straw to prepare a bed.
5:37Prepare the tomato bed without digging by twisting out old foliage, then adding gypsum and compost.
7:27Quick crops such as lettuce, pak choi and radish can fill the wait before warm-season planting.

Spring can fill a garden with colour without putting much on the dinner plate. Millie's vegetable patch is in the hungry gap: winter crops are fading, but the soil is not yet warm enough for many summer replacements.

That in-between season supplied Gardening Australia's most watched new upload of the week. "Save Seed, Harvest Garlic and Prep Beds in Spring | Gardening Australia" has drawn about 20,000 views, with jobs that make waiting productive. Millie stakes a broccoli plant she wants to keep for seed, checks garlic bulbs and chops green manure down beneath straw. For beds awaiting warmer weather, she suggests quick crops such as lettuce, pak choi and radish. One viewer in rural Western Australia notes that their spring crops are already planted, a useful reminder of how differently the season lands across the country.

Hannah's greenhouse is further along, complete with the complications. "Common Tomato Growing Problems and Fixes! | Gardening Australia" covers supporting vine tomatoes, pruning laterals, improving airflow and treating signs of blight. It is drawing the strongest daily audience of the channel's videos, at roughly three times the seed-saving episode's pace.

The six-upload week also made room for Josh's tiny-seed sowing tips, kitchen tools repurposed for handling cactus, cultivated plants absent from the wild, and Clarence's visit to Wollongong Botanic Garden's purpose-built cycad display.

Subscribers held steady at 300,000, while daily views are above their usual level. Among nearby home-and-DIY channels, That Lawn Dude had a substantially larger weekly audience. Gardening Australia's own busiest subjects remain firmly rooted in the vegetable patch: getting the next crop ready, and keeping the one already growing out of trouble.
