Dear Friends,
There are a few events coming up for us that we wanted to make you were aware of. Next weekend, April 1st, 2nd and 3rd, we will be at the Taupo Home & Garden Show. All weekend, we will have our full range of seeds, garlic seed and other multiplying onion seed available. Setha will also be giving a talk each day at 12pm on Growing Healthy Plants from Seed (located in the theater). For more information visit their website.
We also have a workshop coming up! Later in April, we are hosting our first workshop event in our garden. We are excited to announce April 23rd 2016, we are partnering for the second time with Julia of Julia’s Edible Weeds for a day of weeds and seeds! Setha and Roddy will start off the day with practical hands on tips on seed harvesting, processing and storing in your home garden. In the afternoon, Julia will teach an Autumn Edible Weed workshop. There will be plenty of demonstrations for both sessions. For more Information and to Register follow link, secure you place today, as space is limited.

Things to Sow in the Garden Now:
March and April are a good time to be transplanting your winter garden veges, some things can still be sown from seed like Asian Greens, Rocket, Arugala, Lettuces, Kale, Coriander and Carrots. Make sure you have prepared a fertile growing patch with plenty of compost or aged manure.
As your summer gardens are finishing up, make sure to make compost from the crops as they come out as well as sow cover crops. On our scale, we use cover crops to build soil fertility as well as compost. We have been using Buckwheat, Oats and Lupin mix this season.
Choose the format that you can write in and email it to us at:

And a reminder that our seeds are also available from Cornucopia Organics in Hastings and Waipawa Wholefoods in Waipawa.
Happy gardening,
Roddy and Setha
