Comment by Helen on December 17, 2011 at 12:36pm: Rain rain go away....need to garden and get rid of the thriving weeds....

Comment by Lynn on October 8, 2011 at 9:21am: Hi Helen...lots of wonderful varieties of many things, available on the NZ Seedsavers group thread.

Comment by Helen on October 8, 2011 at 8:23am: Shocked at the price of buying seeds lately....so looking for interesting vege seeds or young plants to grow this season ... anyone out there with anything ??

Comment by Lynn on June 22, 2011 at 9:51am: Desperately in need of lemons. I have plum sauce and/or mustard pickle to exchange.

Comment by Yvonne Symons on April 14, 2011 at 7:56am: Hi Helen you were asking about seeds and where to buy? I go to Kings Seeds nz website. Or if you just want a couple of packets Green Door Havelock North sells them too. Good luck. Oh the hay, I would use it as mulch, especially around any fruit trees that you plant this coming winter.

Comment by Helen on April 13, 2011 at 8:59pm: Happy new year to you too Hester, -I hope all members are starting the year in grand fashion !! Any hints for what to use half a bale of straw for at this time of year that is currently sitting in my garage. It is time it was out of there....all ideas welcome, cheers helen

Comment by Lynn on November 15, 2010 at 7:22am: Thanks for hosting the meeting Meredith...it was fantastic to see what you have achieved in just a year. The setting is lovely and the company was excellent. A great turnout. And of course, the food was great too...pot lucks always seem to turn out 'just right'. For those of you whom I don't catch up with before Christmas, have a great one and a safe holiday and I look forward to seeing you all at the January meeting.

Comment by Meredith Thomas on November 15, 2010 at 6:25am: A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Ooooby meet at mine on Sunday 14th. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed your company very much.
