Cow Parsley
Hello everyone, I live and grow in Taumarunui and was wondering if anyone knew where to get cow parsley seeds. I have scrolled through sites that I thought may have them but I guess they class it as a weed!!! I have never seen it on our roadsides or wasteland around here and think maybe it is affected by frost. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I want to add it to my food forest. Many thanks.

Features our food forest!
Hi everyone, I have just purchased a half acre with a house on the edge of Hamilton. I heard about food forests from a friend and have been hunting down information for the last couple of weeks. The area where I would like to plant my food forest is a south facing slope with a flat area at the bottom next to a ditch (apparently the flat area does flood sometimes in winter). What I would like to know is, will a 'U' shapped shelter belt, open to the north, still work on a site like this? And if not, does anyone have any reccomendations?
