I have too many seed trays full of seedlings to fit in the plastic house- Ill have to give some of them away. Vegetable seedlings, mainly from Koanga collection from the gardens at Whitianga, Te Whanau a Apanui last summer 07/08. I tried my best to save the seed...and this spring when I opened my concertina folder...there were so many little envelopes I had to share. I sorta feel driven to share this passion for self reliance and growing our own food. But its all I can do to keep up with the pricking out and planting out in the last few days. Now that the front yard is fenced and sheltered Ill get on with planting that up too...bit by bit. I went to the Permaculture research institute of Australia and ordered Geoffs new video...about creating a food forest starting off with support species. So gotta make some space in that plastic house- or is it warm enough outside now?? - for lupins this year, and little kowhai shrubs and maybe some ngutu kaka...dotted with off course productive fruit trees which will grow up thru the legumes to function like a forest- Well a little one anyway.
