Another great turn out of eager Garden Warriors in our garden today.
WE are all practising patience as we wait for our seedlings to grow large enough to plant out.
There was much surprise & delight at seeing their art installed
Warriors were intrigued to learn that you could grow plants from cuttings...
This mint and rosemary smelt tasty & started a nibbling session around our gardens as Garden Warriors had a little "taste" of what was growing...chives, parsely, corriander...
Some mint was delegated to our "Culvert Towers"
...with the remainder going to the newspaper bunded garden around the scruffy pre-existing compost heap.
Grow free & wild mint and cover this scruffy corner in a carpet of fresh smelling green!
...now we just need our potatoes to grow... to go with our mint!
Mmmm new potatoes with mint and melting butter for Christmas!
We poked lots of rosemary cuttings along this fence...we are hoping for a hedge to cut out the wind!
Strawberry plants were next, this is going to be a popular garden in the summer!
Thank you Ferrier Family Garden for this bin load of goodies today!
Our knitting reel continues to intrigue...
A drift wood pea frame got under construciton in the pea garden courtesy of these 2 Garden Warriors.
WE have been having LOTS of trouble keeping Whetu Te Weka out of our garden area, he has been nipping off ALL our pea shoots as they come up!
The last of our pea seeds went in today...3rd time lucky!
A HUGE thank you to Mr Allwiredup who came in on the weekend to further Weka proof!
Potting mix went into the milk bottle heads ready for planting next week.
Our daffodils have been rather popular, here is one of our loveliest Garden Warriors checking on progress in her garden.
A delicate little birds egg shell was found in here today signalling the arrival of spring despite 2 rather untimely frosts this week, and snow arriving on the Paparoas!
