You are not forcing yourself to do something like other KZitem garden creators. You are genuine. You have an impressive orchard, garden, and poultry. Just put your stuff out there and they will come. Cheers, my friend :)

Great to see behind the scenes, Mark. I have been a keen gardener since childhood, but at the moment some of the youtubers make me feel little behind with all their flourishing crops and perfect gardens. I have to remind myself that I live where I live and also run a business. Gardening is a hobby to keep my mind in peace. Perhaps might be worth doing a video on that for the main channel. It would help people not to compare. Gardening is a lot of work and yes maintenance is needed and plants will die. It's ok for it to not look perfect.

Mark, for your squash, put a big dark rock or a black 5gal bucket of water in the middle. They will absorb the heat from the sun, and radiate all night to warm the plants. It’s a little trick those of us in the frozen north use to get some extra growing time. If tomatoes will survive, squash should thrive.

I know there's loads if information out there but being only a casual food gardener its nice to have it fed to you in a nice convenient video while drinking a coffee. Also there's some awesome local fishing channels here on YT. Maybe an interesting collaboration opportunity. Rokkit Kit is my favourite only because he's a little mad and i probably wouldn't do what he does off a kayak. But there's plenty other catch and cook types out there that are very local to SEQ.
