Checking on Newly Planted Seedlings, A Soggy Start to Autumn/Fall - Reverse Homesteading

Описание: The weather is starting to cool, now that we are into Autumn/Fall. But most people are still not convinced that we are completely out of the warmer weather. It has been warm, humid and wet this past week. One thing this weather is definitely good for is planting out seedlings! Here we check in on the latest ones out in the garden 3 to 4 days ago...


ABOUT US...
Welcome to Reverse Homesteading! Almost a year ago, hubby and I moved into our unit in the Temperate Gardening Zone of Melbourne, Australia. We were previously in the tropics, in Far North Queensland, starting out on YouTube with @rockytropixgardening. I still add videos on my first channel.

Melbourne is in the Australian Hardiness Zone 10b, (USA 9a/9b) which considers how tough plants need to be in Winter... Melbourne has multiple frosts, each Winter. Usually no colder than minus two or three degrees Celsius, that's 28.4 - 26.6F. We also have dry, hot Summers, sometimes with hot northerly winds coming in from more arid/desert areas. Often there is a thunderstorm or a cool change at the end of a day with extreme heat... Melbourne is officially "a Mediterranean Climate".


OUR HISTORY...

In June 2020, my husband and I felt called to a small rural area in Far North Queensland... It was at the other end of Australia to where we were, in Melbourne, Victoria.

Exactly three years after our arrival up north in early 2021 - to the day and time! We felt we were to move back to Melbourne!

All of the above starts this new journey on our Reverse Homesteading Channel, from country with lots of space, back to a suburban garden in a city of 5.2 million people!

Watch our garden-making journey, from starting this channel in January 2025 with a back yard with patchy grass, weedy trees and alot of Australian possums!
