Plant your Potatoes
We have just received a big new delivery of certified ‘seed potatoes’. Don't grow from any old supermarket spud - use only the best 'seed potatoes' in your garden for successful crops.
Make sure they have a good strong growing shoot emerging from the tuber prior to planting. Place your seed potatoes in a tray positioned in a warm light position (an egg carton is perfect). This will encourage sprouting or 'chitting'.
Once you have a good sprout emerging they can be planted into the ground (or a container or sack) once all risk of frosts have passed.
Potatoes are healthy and hearty!

This Malus is amazing
Malus ‘Flamingo’ is a stunning flowering crabapple that will transform over all three seasons. In spring it unfurls with new deep red foliage and crimson flower buds. These buds burst into a spectacular display of intense cerise-pink blooms, with double flowers.
Summer sees the foliage develop to a calming dark green before transitioning to brilliant reds and golds in late autumn, along with a small dark red crabapple.
It's a hardy tree with an upright growth habit and makes a wonderful feature in your garden. Save $20 this weekend with your Advantage Card!
It's Bee Awareness month
Our Bees are critical to pollination of our fruit, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. We need the bees to survive - and the bees need our help.
There's three things we can do to help our Bees.
Feed them – plant plenty of bee-friendly gardens.
Spray safe – minimise insectide use by keeping your plants well fed and well watered.
Don't spray when plants are in flower or bees are present.
Hydration – Bees require clean fresh drinking water. Fill a saucer and place pebbles or twigs in the water for bees to rest on.
The Otaki Buzz Club will be at our Waikanae store this Saturday - 11am.-3pm
