Comment by Lynn on December 29, 2011 at 11:39pm: Hi Helen - I've had problems getting some of my capsicums up and running, and the egg plants, but other than those, everything is doing pretty well. Oh, a few tomato plants looking sad, most are terrific though. Will wait to see whether it's the bumper crop I had last year.

Comment by Helen on December 29, 2011 at 10:04pm: Hi everyone, Potatoes and tomatoes and mints doing really well, but not much else - seems to be a strange season , anyone agree ?? Or maybe it is just lack of tlc ..... cheers, Helen

Comment by Lynn on December 17, 2011 at 2:55pm: Ooooo...gotta admin though, it's great for the garden! (at this stage, anyway...too much more will be a pain)

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 Nikolaison 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.
