"Hi Vivien, I would love to have a tamarillo seedling! I'm doing a garden for a man who really wants one. What do you want in exchange or cash, either is fine. I have baby native seedlings - karaka, mahoe, kowhai, hebe. Where do you live?"

Pete Russell commented on Kowhai Thompson's blog post tools anyone? tidying up your garden shed?"Hmmm. I wonder if it might be worth posting this to the Christchurch Group page. That way you will be talking to locals. You could pop it up as a comment as well as possibly start a tool share forum."
"Thanks, will do. Got your spuds in yet? Then you can celebrate at Christmas with fresh yummy potato salad. All the best. Kowhai"
tools anyone? tidying up your garden shed?
Hi everyone,I'm currently building-up my own supply of gardening tools and returning the set I've borrowed from a range of friends and family.

Any help would be much…See More

- Hey there! Love the name by the way... the tamarillo seedlings took a hit recently in the glass house but appear to be recovering slowly (a frost managed to get in when we had one down to -5 C outside) I would be interested in a hebe seedling in return but better make sure these seedlings are going to recover before I pass one your way!
