00:51G'day.
00:52What a stunning time of year
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined9
undefined:undefined10
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat a fabulous group of plants
01:09whose value in the garden
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined14
undefined:undefined15
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof a feral-animal-proof fence
01:25and the reintroduction
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined20
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand destination dining.
01:52Have you ever been put off gardening
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined27
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI'm about to introduce you to someone
02:07who's not only renting
02:09but up until a couple of years ago
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined33
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto honour his great-aunt.
02:59DARREN: My great-aunt passed away
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined40
undefined:undefined41
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey were gonna be, though.
03:16By about midsummer, I was done
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined46
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith a struggling native plant.
03:36He said, "Can you fix this for me?"
03:38And I said, "I don't...
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined52
undefined:undefined53
undefined:undefined54
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof me and I looked it up online,
03:53and I was amazed by what I saw.
03:55I went to the native nursery
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined59
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand textures and colours.
04:11What were some of
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined64
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpelts down on this pavement.
04:24But in the winter, it's full shade.
04:27So, you've got to
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined71
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a small courtyard, with the sun,
04:43it's about just going
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined77
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedWestern Australian natives.
04:55The first thing I noticed
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined81
undefined:undefined82
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the sun, aren't they?
05:14Yeah, absolutely,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined87
undefined:undefined88
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat every angle.
05:28So the height and the layers and...
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined93
undefined:undefined94
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis probably my favourite.
05:44The blue is amazing.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined99
undefined:undefined100
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor such a long time as well.
06:00It starts to open in about winter
06:02and it just keeps going
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit's a winner all the time.
06:14Boronias.
06:16Yeah.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined112
undefined:undefined113
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThe Boronia safrolifera.
06:27It is a difficult one to grow,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined118
undefined:undefined119
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto be waterlogged
06:38and they will just drop from rootrot
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis...
06:49..I mean, a good native potting mix
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined127
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedout of the direct sun,
07:06or at least indirect light, yeah.
07:13So this garden here is two years old.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined133
undefined:undefined134
undefined:undefined135
undefined:undefined136
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand don't be afraid to fail at it,
07:44'cause every time you fail,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined142
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas well as I can.
08:00If I'm not satisfied,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined146
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedinto a native garden wonderland.
08:18And if a renter like Darren
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined150
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined152
undefined:undefined153
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedright across Australia
08:43because it's renowned
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined157
undefined:undefined158
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhas limited use in home gardens,
09:00it has led to some incredible
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined162
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbingo barrel of genetic diversity
09:14and see how you go.
09:16Is it safe to water your plants
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined167
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecause if you think about it,
09:31the evaporation rate will
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined172
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednot over the foliage. It's a waste.
09:45Why is it a good idea
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined176
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat attacks the roots
09:57of many native
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined180
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon your boots.
10:11So scrub away before you're moving
10:13between the bush and a garden.
10:20I love to grow tomatoes,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined188
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsap-sucking insects
10:38can't be seen by the naked eye,
10:40but you can certainly
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined193
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined195
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit works its way up the plant.
10:56Now, when I see this,
10:58the first thing I do is try
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined200
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen we have dry heat,
11:10so if the temperature's
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined206
undefined:undefined207
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedall the foliage dies off like this,
11:29you'll find that any fruit
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined211
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a small Victorian country town.
11:49Her idea and motto was,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined215
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof Melbourne
12:05and famous for its volcanic soils,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined219
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof regional destination dining
12:21was introduced three decades ago
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined223
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednot all of them were small,
12:33but restaurants in small villages.
12:35And people would
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvery, very proud of the restaurant
12:49and what it had done
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined234
undefined:undefined235
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedshe burst into tears.
13:06I mean,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined239
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas did all my friends.
13:15It was ambition and pride, I think,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined244
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis was not going to work,
13:31I was going to prove to her
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined249
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI did...I did try.
13:47I had a vegetable garden
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined253
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis offering a solution.
13:59We've just piled into
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined257
undefined:undefined258
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsome apples, some almonds -
14:14but that's really the remnants
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined262
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe property, and this is...
14:27..well, there's a couple here.
14:28So we're down now
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined267
undefined:undefined268
undefined:undefined269
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedruns down your...down your chin.
14:42You know.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined273
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednice and serene.
15:02Yeah, it is. It's beautiful.
15:04We call it our spring gully,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined280
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith gorse and blackberries,
15:14in fact, above our heads,
15:15so we got a couple of...of goats
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined286
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbeautiful ferns and...
15:28So you planted these?
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined290
undefined:undefined291
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhas to include food,
15:46and a little later on,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined295
undefined:undefined296
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat your place,
16:12but did you know there's another way
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined301
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand buried in the soil.
16:26Unglazed terracotta is porous,
16:28so when it's in the ground,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined306
undefined:undefined307
undefined:undefined308
undefined:undefined309
undefined:undefined310
undefined:undefined311
undefined:undefined312
undefined:undefined313
undefined:undefined314
undefined:undefined315
undefined:undefined316
undefined:undefined317
undefined:undefined318
undefined:undefined319
undefined:undefined320
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon top of it
17:17so that they join.
17:20You don't have to be too perfect.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined332
undefined:undefined333
undefined:undefined334
undefined:undefined335
undefined:undefined336
undefined:undefined337
undefined:undefined338
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon hand and wet it as you go.
18:19Next, fill it up with rainwater
18:23or any potable water.
18:26Obviously, using bigger pots
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined346
undefined:undefined347
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat the roots
18:45don't end up cracking your olla.
18:47And the last thing you need to do
18:49is bung up the hole,
18:50using a stone or your stick.
18:52This will keep soil out
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined355
undefined:undefined356
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand make some flags and levels,
19:07but I like to use
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined360
undefined:undefined361
undefined:undefined362
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedby doing what comes naturally.
19:42JOSH: There's nothing better
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined366
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe University of Western Australia.
19:58This is the Craigie Bushland Reserve,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined370
undefined:undefined371
undefined:undefined372
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas a Bush Forever site,
20:17which means it's got a lot
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined376
undefined:undefined377
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda fair amount of pressure.
20:33Absolutely, Josh,
20:35and that's why this fence,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined383
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the health of the local ecosystem.
20:53Leonie has been paying close
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined387
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis is a really good example.
21:05Now, that's not from a rabbit, is it?
21:07No, it's from a quenda.
21:09So, a quenda is a type of bandicoot.
21:11And we thought the quenda
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined394
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedearlier, has allowed us to do
21:21is reintroduce them
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined399
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a quenda digging this hole,
21:36as opposed to a rabbit
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined404
undefined:undefined405
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith their beautiful long nose
21:53and they're creating a dig
21:55and they're digging underneath them
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined412
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda little compost pile.
22:13Doesn't it ever? That's right.
22:14You've got leaves and twigs
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined421
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedexactly what can happen.
22:22So, what we think goes on is that
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined432
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda really good environment
22:46for that litter to decompose,
22:48which is how we're getting nutrients
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined441
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat have been dug by quenda,
23:05compared to undug areas.
23:07It's unintentional cultivation.
23:09Absolutely. Yep.
23:10Quenda are listed as
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined448
undefined:undefined449
undefined:undefined450
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhave been monitoring them
23:35and running experiments to understand
23:37the quendas' impact
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined457
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat excludes quenda from the area,
23:51whereas outside, we've got quenda
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined462
undefined:undefined463
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedquite a bit of quenda activity,
24:09there's quite a lot lower
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined467
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat there's a lot less,
24:22once you've got quenda
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined472
undefined:undefined473
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedresearch questions
24:37that we'd love to look at
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined477
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednon-wetting soil, bit of composting.
24:49I've got to ask, as gardeners, what
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined481
undefined:undefined482
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreally important at dispersing fungi
25:05throughout the environment.
25:07And that means that
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined488
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe types of benefits
25:25that come from the quenda being here
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined493
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlots of understorey vegetation
25:38and it's really dense, and there's
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined497
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcan be a quenda home.
25:48This is a really good example of
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined501
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis quite wet,
26:01but in there,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined505
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedoverlapping home ranges,
26:13but they like to be solitary.
26:16Australia has lost
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined511
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand bushland restoration.
26:30What we're seeing here, Josh,
26:32with the return of quenda
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined516
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe'll find out a lot more.
26:50COSTA: Still to come
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined521
undefined:undefined522
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a totally new way.
27:12MILLIE: But there's
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined529
undefined:undefined530
undefined:undefined531
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand I live at Forresters Beach
27:33with Candice Bergen
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined536
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI started my own consultancy.
27:59My earliest memory of the first
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined543
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the kitchen windowsill
28:18and wait till the root system
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined548
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit was a bit of a blank canvas.
28:44There was patch of grass
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined553
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen it's all working well.
28:59I really love
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined557
undefined:undefined558
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the back, just a small one,
29:14and then also the perfect radial
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined563
undefined:undefined564
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut high interest.
29:37So I put a mirror here
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined569
undefined:undefined570
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe glass edge of the mirror.
29:52Once you've done that, then
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined575
undefined:undefined576
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsuch a nice scant canopy,
30:13it offers perfect semi-shade
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined581
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbeneath them,
30:26and it seems to just frame the garden
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined585
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat one end of the year.
30:44Conversely, the other end
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined589
undefined:undefined590
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda cool subtropics combination,
31:01because that's what I have here,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined594
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould be Barleria.
31:20And that's a really useful
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined599
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis the plume flower,
31:36and that's a very useful
31:39subtropical...cool subtropical
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined604
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould be Phymosia umbellata,
31:58the Mexican mallow, and also...
32:02..oh, very, very many hibiscus.
32:05Ruth Wilcox is flowering really well,
32:07and also a close relative of that,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined612
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor pain-relief reasons -
32:26their pain relief, not yours -
32:28and so you've got to
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined617
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined"Well, I've got no privacy,
32:40"so I need to have a screen planting
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined622
undefined:undefined623
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedvery late in the day.
32:56Gardens really bring us in connection
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined628
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlike this penstemon,
33:16that have a great flush of flowers
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined632
undefined:undefined633
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand give them a good hard prune.
33:32Just prune down to a shoot like so
33:35and you'll find
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined638
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand the penstemons then
33:49will have a second flush of flowers
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined648
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat these are hiding in plain sight.
34:24And this is a pity, because
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined653
undefined:undefined654
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the dracaenas.
34:44It's the only plant that I reckon
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined659
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand so easy to grow.
34:57Why wouldn't you grow one?
34:59Like me, Bryan, you obviously share
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined665
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedold in the Mediterranean,
35:13and there are quite a few of them
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined670
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbranches, six or eight feet tall,
35:24could be worth up to 10 grand.
35:26But, Jerry, if you're waiting to get
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined675
undefined:undefined676
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddoesn't it?
35:38Yeah. This is Janet Craig.
35:41Janet Craig is simply
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined681
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou're gonna have problems with it.
35:55That's a Dracaena deremensis.
35:56It's very, very low tolerance
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined687
undefined:undefined688
undefined:undefined689
undefined:undefined690
undefined:undefined691
undefined:undefined692
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedevery now and then,
36:17in nature decides to go on a wacky
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined696
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou haven't opened your eyes,
36:28and that's a Dracaena marginata,
36:30or red-edge dracaena.
36:31The more you look after it,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined702
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYou do. You do.
36:39And you probably would too, Jerry.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined706
undefined:undefined707
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor we believe it was a sport
36:52that came off Dracaena marginata
36:54and was introduced into the country
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined712
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYep.
37:07And I went off to the tip one day
37:09and there was a whole trailer-load
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined719
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI have never seen before.
37:22Oh, congratulations,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined724
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednever seen anything like that.
37:36They do tell me in Singapore
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined731
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou've got so many different kinds.
37:47There's only one that I think you
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined736
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddragon's tree...
37:59Oh, OK.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined740
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedLovely.
38:10(LAUGHS)
38:12(BIRDSONG)
38:23OK, Jerry, what we're gonna do
38:25is I'll show you quick propagation
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined749
undefined:undefined750
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis we'll take the head like so.
38:39I use what I call a 2-finger method.
38:41And what we would do is
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined755
undefined:undefined756
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedleaves just get under the surface,
39:03so we're just pushing it down
39:05till the leaves
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined766
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe bottom of that stem
39:21to get soaking wet all the time -
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined772
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe best time of the year
39:31for everybody to have a go at it.
39:32Overnight temperatures
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined780
undefined:undefined781
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon this, Jerry.
39:52How old is this,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined785
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand I'll bring some potting mix.
40:04So, we actually
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined790
undefined:undefined791
undefined:undefined792
undefined:undefined793
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYeah, no...
40:16The principle's the same
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined797
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedprobably another 8 to 10 weeks,
40:31they'll have the colour
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined805
undefined:undefined806
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit'll make you a hero
40:46for being the biggest propagator
40:48I've seen around the place
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined811
undefined:undefined812
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt's absolutely powering along.
41:08And Bryan's smile
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined816
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis great for your garden.
41:22But what about horse manure?
41:25Sheep and cows have stomach chambers,
41:27so, what goes in
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined822
undefined:undefined823
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis that it's often really cheap,
41:41sometimes even free,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined828
undefined:undefined829
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the first six to eight weeks
41:57and chipping any weeds
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined834
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat great philosophical question -
42:16which came first,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined838
undefined:undefined839
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas cattle and sheep stations.
42:42The town still retains
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined844
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcan be seen everywhere.
43:13Louise, this garden
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined850
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedSo, did you start with a plan?
43:30No. It just happened.
43:32It...it grew organically,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined858
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhas a very relaxed, informal feel,
43:50and it's an interesting mix
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined863
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedIt's got such a Mediterranean feel.
44:25And yet behind us
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined868
undefined:undefined869
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon green lushness,
44:43rather than dry bushland.
44:45So you've created that lush feel,
44:47but we're in
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined875
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYes, hardy.
45:01And doesn't take that much water.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined880
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedkale and pumpkins.
45:19Espaliered fruit trees
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined886
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis a bit of a trick
45:34in this harsh, hot, dry climate.
45:36Yes. Quite often,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined892
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedinfluence the way that you garden?
46:03No. It's the other way round,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined899
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthroughout this lovely garden.
46:29Even the structures
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined904
undefined:undefined905
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand others are purely aesthetic.
46:57Louise's garden at Strathalbyn is
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined910
undefined:undefined911
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto catch your interest at every turn.
47:21And if variety is the spice of life,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined916
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtwo of my favourite things today.
47:50Really?
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined922
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand I can't grow this to save myself.
47:57Fennel?
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined926
undefined:undefined927
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat was ignored for a long time
48:07and finally has been resurrected.
48:10You're gonna use some seeds as well?
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined932
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedas a breath cleanser.
48:26There's so much flavour there.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined937
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand cooking it,
48:35today, we're actually going to
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined942
undefined:undefined943
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYes.
48:46Perfect. Perfect.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined947
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand puree-able.
48:58So now we're going to
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined951
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgreen sauce to go with the fish,
49:13'cause it kind of suggests fresh,
49:14so, I've just taken
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined956
undefined:undefined957
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat we've got out of it.
49:34And this is what
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined965
undefined:undefined966
undefined:undefined957
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined'cause we want the pan quite hot.
49:53So this is blue-eye,
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined972
undefined:undefined973
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOh, so it protects the flesh?
50:05Yes. So, if you get your pan
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined978
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthree and a half minutes, tops.
50:17The whole point
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined983
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith some of our fennel butter.
50:26And then we take it off the heat.
50:29And in that little bit
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined988
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith it today.
50:39So this is just
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined992
undefined:undefined993
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto garnish the fish.
50:51So the fish should be ready.
50:53That looks like it's nicely done.
50:56Holy moly.
50:57So, just...don't drop the fish.
51:00(LAUGHS)
51:02That was professionally dropped.
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880

undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined1031
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthis very sketchy idea in my head,
52:30but it was nothing like this.
52:32This has evolved into something...
undefined:undefined00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,880
undefined:undefined1036
undefined:undefined1037
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand the plants,
