These are frost hardy orange seeds. Apparently down to -8 so I read. I'm trying to develop a frost hardy orange that can be grown down south. The plan is to grow the seeds onto rootstocks then find hardy local varieties to graft onto them. They can a
Never been one to blast my own horn but I am feeling proud of what I've achieved and humbled to have been approached about what I'm doing enough to have an article written about it in the odt. I was contacted through the grapevine by Louise (who wrot
This nashi pear thinks it's spring! Is it yet? Surely not yet?? This year has gone by so fast and spring really feels right around the corner. Spring is one of my favorite times of year. Everything awakening anew from it's winter sleep. What do you l
Pear grafting for 2025 done and dusted!! Good feeling to get it done. Pears can be a little trickier as you need an interstem to graft most varieties into a quince root-stock. I use both doyenne du commice and beurre hardy as my interstems. Some tree
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
