Home Grown/eat Fresh Family Garden Challenge
NO sooner had our friendly Garden Gnomes delivered the first 15 "Garden Start up" packs on the last day of term...that they found another bunch of orders at the school office!
This was GREAT news, 30 Families now registered for the Challenge!
Another emergency call was made to Awapuni Nurseries, and further fertiliser packs were bagged...
Three of our most loyal (and understanding) Garden Warriors swung into action (some more than others!) to make the delivers happen over the holidays...
About 20 "Salad Enhancers" were also potted up ready to sell at the Labour Day Market to the visiting Motor Home Jamboree...they should find chives, parsley, celery and rainbow beet a tasty addition to their mobile homes!
ON the subject of Mobile Homes...check out this leggy local (with a leg span greater than 10cm) who made a temporary home in one of our Awapuni seedling packs over night! He crawled onto an unsuspecting Garden Warriors hand... who promptly flicked him off with a mere "Argh!"
He is so BIG you can actually see all his multiple eyes & is our Kiwi member of the Tarantula Family!
