Growing Your Own Vegetables in a Small Space
With the price of food rising sharply here in Australia, I decided to plant two new veggie beds. Nice and quick and should cover our spring onion and lettuce requirements for the coming months.

Be still my heart! This is soooooo sweet! Thank you for sharing this!
Bonni. Hamish. So. Cute. Love You❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful video!!
Love westies we lost our Cindy a week and a half ago she had a stroke and after that she went down hill so had to put her to sleep.She was 13 years old we loved her to bits she had a westie attitude but so loveable.
Love❤
Can't beat Westies! Best dogs ever!
They are indeed. Hamish and Bonnie have their own channel www.youtube.com/@HamishandBonnietheWesties
@@GavinandKim Will subscribe!
Hello Bonnie luv. I have a westie. He is 14. And his name is Archie. Love Westies!
Nice, they are such a good breed. Hamish and Bonnie have their own channel www.youtube.com/@HamishandBonnietheWesties
Beautiful ❤ lovely little dogs West highland terriers are the best ever. So much fun to be with and so intelligent . Our first two were Bertie and Brianna. It breaks your heart when they go to doggy heaven. Then we had two rescue Westies 💖adorable . Sadly they’re both gone now😔 Hopefully one day we will have more when the time is right. Thanks for the video ❤️
No problems. Hamish and Bonnie have their own channel www.youtube.com/@HamishandBonnietheWesties
Aw bless think he needs a groomers lol xxxx
Yes, Hamish did, but unfortunately we were in lockdown at the time so we couldn't get him to the groomers. BTW, Hamish and Bonnie have their own channel www.youtube.com/@HamishandBonnietheWesties
Hamish, great name for a Westie. It's Scottish for James 🙂
I have owned three Westies and my third is almost 13 years old now and been the healthiest. The first one died on the table getting her teeth cleaned, and the second went into liver failure and had to put her down. I wouldn't own any dog but a Westie!
i love this, just got my 40ft container from Wuwi Shipping Container very cheap and even paid it upon delivery. cant wait to start working.
Have fun!
This is a strange moment --- I landed here while looking up info for a potential car purchase, and thought "hm, have I made a wrong turn? Maybe I accidentally clicked into one of my subscriptions as a longtime curd nerd." Nope, no cheese, just a very unexpected coincidental intersection
great job Gav, & Kim
Cheers mate
Yes we grow some of our own food and I’m beginning to grow more in mixed bed of ornamental and vegetables so I can grow even more. It’s really a security AND a financial necessity! Thank you
I grow tomatoes in the driveway. In summertime, they are always so good!
Sun flowers are 2m tall with huge leaves.
These are a miniature variety
I grew dwarf varieties this year. Grow a bit over a meter.
Good for you! Our prices here in the midwest USA are ridiculous, especially if you live in the rural areas. Food prices are doubled from what you would find in the metro areas. A 5lb bag of potatoes is $6 in rural communities while the same brand and bag in a metro area would be $3. For the past few years I have not been able to tend to our two gardens due to spine issues, and this past year I have adapted myself using a wheelchair for daily life. I cannot take care of my 40'X70' and 30'X30' gardens anymore with the huge tillers and lugging the irrigation lines, so I let them grow over. So I found eight 50gal metal drums that were used to hold bulk liquid soap. I got them for $5 per barrel. I cut each of them lengthways and power-washed them out. Remember I said they used to hold bulk liquid soap? Yep! I had an "I Love Lucy" moment on my hands! Soapy bubbles EVERYWHERE! Lol! My neighbour told me, "I didn't know you could wash a lawn!" Smarty pants! I drilled drain holes in the bottoms, painted and set them on chunks of old concrete chunks that were once part of an old foundation. So now I have 16 planters that I placed in various areas of the yard so I can grow a variety of vegetables once again. I plant companion flowers with them so the town doesn't get finicky about veggie planters in the front yard.
That is fantastic. Where there is a will, there's a way!
❤ My baby is 8 next month. I so want a baby for her
Nice one Gav & Kim.
Thanks Gary!
well done gav
Thanks Dad!
Beautiful dogs! I’ve got a cairn Terrier who is a year old. She’s been a joy to watch grow. Bonnie reminds me of her. By the way, a professional groomer works wonders.
Yes, well aware of the services of a groomer. This was mostly filmed during Covid-19 lockdown, so they were closed for about 6 months here in Melbourne. Sorry if it triggered you.
you guys are awesome!
I feel weird being 2 years late to the party here, but I've only recently discovered the wonders of cheese making and your pages... thank you for all the amazing content you make and I'm overjoyed to see that you've both made it through such a difficult and dark time... I hope you both are living exceedingly well now and in great health!
very good video
Many many thanks
My first one was Bonnie. She lived to 16. Now I'm crying lol. My current one is named Kimmie. She is 14 and getting old. If I get another She will be named bethany
Hey Gavin, I am looking to put in a studio at my own house, just wanted to ask about the city council regulations around putting a studio in and how much the building approval was?
The building approval was part of the package, so I don't know how much it was. Sorry.
Ain’t many things better on this earth than a new Westy puppy🤷♂️
I certainly agree ❤
Gav, I've been searching high and low for those slim to width windows where did you buy them from?
they came as part of the build. I think they are made by Bradford Windows and Doors
Westie are beautiful, l had a westie love her to bits, unfortunately she had brain cancer l had to put her down, still miss her terribly ♥️💓🇬🇧💯
Sorry for your loss. ❤️
😞😩😥😢 Get another it want take her place but it will help.
Mine died from pancreatitis. We got a new one almost 2 years ago. I deeply love him but I still miss my Westie
What a great space, nice record of the build too.
Thanks!
Mine westie is dying please pray🙏
My bunty is gone😭😭😭😭
Couldn't you just use a type two to type one adaptor to plug the Tesla charger straight in without needing your EVSE?
Different communications protocols, but I think that Tesla may be changing to the Type 2 standard here in Australia
@@GavinandKim Ah I see. Thank you for replying back.
This was so lovely to watch. Thank you Gav and Kim. :) This might be silly but I really appreciate the respect you had for the ducklings and the Momma duck, giving them lotsa space but also ensuring the dogs couldn't bother them and such.
I have a Lexus EV which is type 2. It won’t charge on Tesla destination charger even though both are type 2 plugs. Do you think there is an adaptor which would allow me to charge on a Tesla destination charger?
Not sure, sorry

Nice and beautiful video. Thanks for sharing so wonderful video & big
Hopefully you go visit the local duck pond tomorrow and see if you can see her and the kids. And now you can clean the pool again. Luckily they weren’t there for long enough to really foul it. Duck itch is not fun and would required a full drain, scrub and refill off the pool.
Thank you for more duck content 🙏💯
No problem!!
This is such a calming video to watch before bed. Many thanks and bless you Gav for helping the ducks find their way to the park lake.
Glad you enjoyed it
CUTE! nothing as adorable as baby animals being clumsy
Ducks’ residue from preening and waste/faeces have been known to wreak havoc upon pool pumps. Their cute but am not terribly keen on financial ruin by encouraging the ducks or family of raccoon invading our pool
Cite a source please.
Finances are temporary. Ducks are forever 🦆
You have such a pretty yard!
Well done Gavin and Kim. Caring for nature.😊😊
Thank you so much for looking after them ,so kind, bless you , hopefully they made it , xxx
❤
More ducks please :)
