Clever gardening has its benefits, especially when you let vegetables go to seed. They reward you with abundance and free volunteer food. Check out this weeks Sustainable Food Farm video installment with volunteer potatoes, sunflowers, and kale. There is also an update for the Painted Mountain corn. http://youtu.be/082P1iRju70
Any feedback from you would be most welcome, and all suggestions for future videos will be kept in a list and I will try to work them into the weekly shoot. Fire away!

I have a zoo at my place at the moment or a bird sanctuary at least. Between the Rainbow Lorikeets, Galahs, and Sulphur Crested Cockatoos, everyone is getting a feed of my yummy fruit.
So to stop the little blighters getting at my still unripe Jonathan apples, I used some exclusion bags to protect them. Have a look at this video to see how I am protecting apples using exclusion bags.
I used these last year with much success. I believe that the theory is out of sight out of mind. If the birds can’t see fruit, then they don’t attack the exclusion bags. You can tie them closed with cotton twine, twist ties, or even rubber bands.
Certainly beats netting the entire tree and is a great organic method of protecting fruit from codling moth and birds!

As promised during yesterday’s podcast episode, here is the first in the “How To” garden series or as I hope it will become better known as the Suburban Food Farm series.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any specific items that you would like to learn about, then let me know via comment. The corn was generously given to me by Jessie (aka Rabid Little Hippy).
Oh, and if you like what you see, share via the social media buttons below.
Yours in videography,
