WHATS HAPPENING

Well snow to sea level 1 week then frosts the next... What weather we are having.

The days have also had a bitter cold wind that has made it hard for even the most motivated gardener to get outside.

The tunnel house could be a good place to be on those days.

Tomato plants are looking good and we have a great supply of all varieties.

I have heard out the back though they have done their last tomato sowing for the year but there are still plenty in stock for the forseeable future.

The Vining tomato has been selling exceptionally well.

Everyone wants to get behind a good cause.

Cucumbers, Courgettes & Pumpkins all ready now as well.

Get your favourite while there is plenty of stock and the weather has warmed up slightly.

A huge selection of vege plants ready for your garden.

And the same goes for the flowers. 6 packs are $3.99 or buy 4 for $15.00.



Roses are all in leaf and are looking really good and strong.

Still a good selection of colours & varieties.

Rhododenrons are starting to flower with the favourite perfumed ones John Bull & Princess Alice about to open.

We actually have a special on certain Rhodies.

We had a container of surplus plants land the other day and have put them out for sale at $25.00 each.

Come on in and see if anything catches your eye.

Some new camellias are in.

Fairy Blush is perfect for screening.

Flowering cherries & magnolias are in flower or bud as well.

The double flower varieties are a bit later.

Fruit trees are also all in flower.

Peaches, plums, & nectarines anyway.

Apples and pears are a bit later.

Plenty of strawberry plants and a new crop of berry fruit has arrived.

Raspberry Ebony could be worth a shot for anyone wanting some berry fruit to plant.

(Small firm rosette of dark black berries. Easily removed when ripe. Cascading purple/black canes with no spines)

Sounds perfect.

Seed potatoes are still selling.

Main crops need to be planted this month.

Southlanders love their red spuds.

Desiree, Red Rascal & Van Rosa are all very popular but the most popular Red King has sold out I am sorry.

Small seeds are able to go in now.

That's your carrots, radish,& white stone turnips. 

We have had another load of pea straw arrive during the snow storm.

The poor boys out there unloading it with the snow falling all around them.

So there is plenty there for anyone wanting it. 

Sheep pellets have been scarce lately.

We have just secured another pellet load.

These are $12.99 a bag.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING

October is the month for all gardening projects.

Hopefully the weather behaves from now on and we can get our gardens planted and thriving.

 Don't forget to bring in your own bags or boxes. Or purchase one of our baskets for $5.00.. Renew & recycle. Yours to keep for future purchases.
