Grafting experiment! Never done anything this big.. exciting! This cherry plum tree was getting far too big and too close to the tunnel. It rains plums each year which are yummy but tbh a hassle and very messy. The root system was too valuable to get

Grafted quince trees.... The start of much grafting to come. They were starting to move already so I thought best to get into them! Missed the boat last year!
These will be for sale come summer along with many other trees this season!
Pick up in Dun

A bit of a fun wait and see experiment today. The first of much grafting to come! Thought I would make a start with this loquat grafted onto quince rootstock. The quince root stocks are already starting to move! Apparently they result in smaller ear

I never thought I would be able to grow passionfruit in Dunedin... But here we go! Yes it's inside a tunnel house but needs must. Pretty sure Rory from George Street Orchard has one outside but I'm guessing his wee micro climate protects from frost

A bit of an experiment this year. I have given three of the mother cluckers free rein and destroy at whim. We have struggled with cooch grass in this tunnel for a few years now and it's a lot of work pulling it all out during and at the end of each s

Today's mission! Tidying the berry tunnel, pruning back, weeding and mulching with acidic pine needles. Berries like acid additions to the soil, especially blueberries and raspberries. Had a good go at the redcurrants and gooseberries too. More berr

Its a good time of year to prune your apple trees! Whilst trees are dormant you can easily see their structure and branch formation. It also means they will put all their fresh spring growth into productive wood that you want for more fruit! For this

Artichoke time! Jerusalem artichokes are another good under the ground crop that can surprise you with how much they will produce. Stock like to eat the leaves and tubers too so great addition to the lifestyle block. I dot these all around the garden

It's Mashua time! Native to the Andes this prolific edible root crop is a must for any food garden. The tubers, leaves and flowers are all edible. The chickens like the greens too!
Grab some to try for dinner or plant in the garden.
They can be eat

Plenty of winter colour interest still around! When I'm planning a section of garden I try to make it a mix of evergreen and perennial, texture and different leaf structures for year round interest. The red and yellow stemmed dogwoods are a real stri

What to do with the last of the chilli's? These guys have taken so long to get going and although we're now having frosts they're still going! I have a mix of Anaheim, habanero, wild fire, jalapeno, thai and ricotto. The latter being so damn hot! Jus

The lovely lambs ears.. if you've ever touched it you will see why it has that name. So soft and velvety. A great dry tolerant perennial ground cover that has lovely tall flower spikes followed by pink flowers for the bees.
I have these available no

Carex comans. Frosted curls. A lovely soft green with grass foilage that looks like hair!
Adds nice textural year round interest in the garden. $3 each or discount for bulk.

The renga renga lilly.... A fabulous gap filler, dry area plant, shady area plant and cut flower. Very hardy, dry and frost tolerant, grows to fill any gap. Throws up lovely stems with dainty white flowers adored by the bees..

I'm loving the winter texture and colour that's coming forth as the perennials and annuals die away..
