A Tough Summer Garden… What Worked & What Didn’t | End of Season Garden Tour (Victoria, Australia)
One of the things we value most about sharing our homesteading journey is being honest about the reality of growing food — and this season has definitely been a challenging one. In this video we take you on a full end of summer garden tour here in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria, Australia, looking at what actually worked in our garden this year… and what really didn’t. Some crops thrived, others struggled, and the season threw a few surprises our way. If you’ve had a tough growing season too, you’re definitely not alone. During the tour we share: • What crops performed well this summer • What struggled or failed and why • Lessons we’re taking into next season • What growing food in southern Australia looked like this year Every season teaches us something new, and hopefully sharing both the wins and the struggles helps other gardeners and homesteaders along the way.
