Time for a garden clean out - I have 3 cabbage tree seedlings if anyone wants them. Some digging required :)
The tallest is nearly waist high. Also got a few tayberry plants - that is something like a boysenberry, nice fruit but the brambles do tend to wander if you don't keep an eye on them.
Possibly also some elder berry seedlings, hazel nut seedlings, feverfew and lots of calendulas (pot marigold), and a pink hollyhock. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Hi Nathan.......much to my surprise I managed to find good homes for all 5 cockerels. One of them even went to a very upmarket B&B in the country - I'm quite jealous! :)

Hiya Plingie,
I'm in St Albans, at the Springfield rd end of Edgeware Rd- I have a fair bit of chickweed that you are welcome to.

I want weeds! Does anyone in the Shirley (or surrounding suburbs) have chickweed that I can pinch for my birds and rabbit?

Hi all, does anyone know of a breeder of Australorp chickens in the Christchurch/Canterbury area? Thanks!

Hi Sealander, did anyone help you with your cockerills?

hi - great to find a Canterbury group!
I've some Jerusalem artichokes looking for a good home - just sprouting - of course once you plant them you have them for ever, but they do look good in the summer!
On commercial front have heaps of rhubarb ready to harvest (I got carried away planting rhubarb seeds a few years ago), and it will not be long until the globe artichokes are ready too.

Comfry - I'm wondering if anyone has enough comfry plants that they can afford to divide and give away/swap??

carla, another seed supplier is egmont seeds which is a commercial seed company which has just launched a home garden seed catalouge.
many of their varieties are ones which are resistant to modern diseases, or grow well in sholder seasons for that variety. they have high quality seeds (which tend to grow strong plants) you can find them at www.egmontseedsshop.co.nz.
i have also had great success with kings seeds (on line) and with mr fothergales (spelling) which i think you can get at bunnings and k mart. hope that helps.
