Tell us about your garden and what you're growing: I have herb gardens growing for the Herb Spread: 5 x 24m x 1.5m rows in Onetangi. It's a bit exposed there though and i can only grow rosemary in the summer. Good in Winter. At home I have a 16 year old orchard planted by moi with three months solid worth of fruit; peaches, apples, pears, feijoas, bananas, etc. etc. In winter we concentrate on our vege garden which is too hot to grow much in summer. Watering always a problem on Waiheke...

cheap herbs

Hi, - want a quick and cheap herb garden? Instead of buying potted herbs from the garden centre which may cost you up to $1ea, buy the potted kitchen herbs from your supermarket. These only cost $2.45ea, and you get about 12 plants in each pot!
