Come and See My Organic Garden in Melbourne, Early Spring Garden Tour 2026 - Reverse Homesteading

Wow, this video is alot bigger than usual! Sincere apologies if any of my Aussie viewers were waiting, it took a looong time to edit. Definitely will need a cuppa or a cool drink to sit and watch. So have a relaxing wander around my organic food producing garden in Melbourne, Australia. We are only just starting to see our plants shooting ahead again for Spring. But I thought it would be fun to see the garden now, then see such a difference in Summer! Link I mentioned in the video, Ruth Ann Zimmerman:    / @ruthannzimm   ABOUT REVERSE HOMESTEADING... Welcome to Reverse Homesteading! Almost a year ago, hubby and I moved into our unit (small home) 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! WHERE WE ARE ONLINE...
