Tell us about your garden and what you're growing: We're on a big parcel of land that is part established garden from the early 1900's when the house was built and part raised vege garden on the back lawn (7 beds). Aren't currently growing much as we have the house on the market and intend returning to N.Z. to live (hopefully) on Waiheke! I moved away in the 70's but we have family in Auckland and Northland and would like to be nearer to them.

We're looking to shift over there in about ten months. Many thanks.

Should have said, we need the extra room as my husband Vic is an artist and I'm a glass artist/jeweller. Thanks again.
