Hi everyone, -one for the non-organic gardeners here - I have a very large amount(a couple of hundred kilos) of fertiliser in damaged bags (mainly 10kg) to give away as our garden is all organic ( I know the right people at a large dispatch so if you need some let me know - note free to give away)

Hey guys, I'm running a competition to win $2000 worth of cool gardening prizes on www.mygarden.co.nz - you can see the comp . here...http://www.mygarden.co.nz/Gardening-Competition.aspx

The site is new, so any feedback would be great! I'm based here in Christchurch so would be good to hear some local feedback.

Anyone who might like to join the Southern Seed Exchange, which is dedicated to preserving locally adapted varieties of heirloom vegetables - there is a seed swap on Saturday afternoon Sept 12, at the former CPIT Seven Oaks campus, Corner Hassals Lane and York St. Bring your surplus seeds, tubers and seedlings, and you might be able to swap them for something interesting. I'll be bringing some mashua tubers, lots of beans and maybe some achoecha seed.

Jacinta, bok choy seeds would be great. I have mint root. I'm in town Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, so should be able to connect with you sometime. Kowhai

I have some jeruaslem artichoke tubers, some bok choy seeds, and will likely have orach seedlings to spare soon, & some lemon balm. I would dearly love some mint root. Send me a message for swaps.

google southern seed exchange, its great to belong to, a minimal yearly fee and all the seeds you want, as long as you save some to give back, a great local resource.

Hey guys, I have some mini red and ranfurly mini cabbages seedlings underway along with some tom thumb mini lettuce all at the very young stage at the moment. Plus some Freda all year round cauliflower seedlings available too if anyone is interested in a few.

Hi Carla
Yes, King Seeds are pretty good but also like Koanga for the heritage varieties. Eco Seeds also good - I used their seeds when I was in Wellington & not sure if still going. I've planted out some seed potatoes today & started some toms, onions, pumpkins & sunflowers in seed raising mix in the glassed entrance way. Looking forward to a good crop this year.
And thanks to Kowhai re espaliering - I've concreted in some poles as last time just put in some metal waratahs with wire between but they didn't stay firm & all went wobbly. Will try the wire between the poles next w/e with some bamboo stakes for extra support on the lower laterals. Will keep you posted.
Cheers

Hi everyone!My name is Carla and I'm pretty new to vege gardening..Had a small garden over the last few years. My hubby has just started to build me some raised gardens this weekend..I'm very excited about them! Can't wait to get them up and running!!Look forward to trading, and finding out useful bits of info from you more experienced gardeners!;)So far the garden has only beetroot, spinach, silverbeet, the odd spring onion, rubarb and pak choy surviving!But will be getting into it over the next few weeks! So what are the best seeds to buy (eg kings?) Thanks:)
