Hey! I’m no longer active on RUclips - but am on Instagram if you’re there - I’m grow.nurture.nourish. I also run gardening workshops through secret gardens :) Where are you moving from?

I just checked out the Secret Garden website. Wonderful resource! I will for sure set up a garden visit with you once we move. Spreydon is actually the neighborhood we are most interested in moving to (or Somerfield/Cashmere) so your garden should be a perfect example of what will be possible. We are coming from California. My youngest son is my gardening buddy so I will probably book a visit for the 2 of us sometime during the second half of this year. Looking forward to meeting you then and learning from you. I will also check out your insta. Thanks so much for providing this resource. -Crystal

Kia ora Caroline - always great to 'meet' another Christchurch gardener! I have found that with using pea straw and having my plants generally pretty close together I haven't had any issues yet with cats - there is only one cat that visits my yard, but I just haven't seemed to have an issue. I have 2 workshops coming up in July if you would like to come and join - booking details are here secretgardens.co.nz/garden/grow-nurture-nourish/

Hey Sonya - we purchased one from Trulux which we brought online and had it shipped to us :)

Hi Tiffany, we're in Christchurch, New Zealand. We're lucky and this is how our sol naturally looks! Our late fruiting one we transplanted last winter to a new spot as it was growing too large - and it's doing wonderfully! If you're on Instagram head over to grow.nurture.nourish to see my updates there

@@grow.nurture.nourish thank u for ur reply,I will download instagram to see ur update.

Kia ora - I use Spray free - I search online and buy direct from the farmer which also makes it A LOT cheaper!

Kia ora Peter :) just growing the heat lovers a bit bigger before setting them outside - corn, tomatoes, egg plants, beans, as well as always sowing more lettuce, flowers, kale, spinach, sprouting broccoli. Auckland as about 6 weeks ahead of us, so you’ll be all good to go with your heat lovers! What are you planning on growing?

@@grow.nurture.nourish I will be putting down this spring, tomato’s, chili’s, snow peas, broad beans and that’s about it! Need more feedback to what else I can grow !!! Reason why I watch ya video's...🙂🙂🙂

@@peterstevens6555 If you haven't already - Gardenate is a great site where you can sign up and receive monthly emails (and reminders) which you can tailor to your growing space :)

@@grow.nurture.nourish Just looking at the Gardenate site, it looks so helpful indeed !!! 🙂🙂🙂

Hi Ann! I completely get what you mean, which is why I started it! But I am currently taking a break from creating new content as it was just taking up too much time away from the garden with a little one in tow! But I am very active on Instagram (grow.nurture.nourish) and I have just started running gardening workshops (in my backyard) through Secret Gardens. What are you planting at the moment?

Hey Michelle - I never have sanitised mine first. I know you ‘should’ but have never had any issues

@@grow.nurture.nourish thank you for replying and so quickly😊. Good to know as it was such a process the first lot I used. Thank you I am also in Chch and enjoying your posts.

Hey - where in NZ are you? I plant seeds in December - they are a winter crop - but need to get some good growth on them over the summer

@@grow.nurture.nourish hello. Sorry I'm from Blenheim. I would like to know when to plant sweet potato also. Have you seen the mother earth garden planner.... it's amazing. I'm using it for the second year and it tell you where last year's family groups were can you can easily plan you crop rotations....

Hey Ailsa - I'm taking a break from making videos at the moment - but if you're on Instagram you can find me at grow.nurture.nourish

Hi Nicola, Thanks so much :) We are very well here, but I decided to put a pause on the videos as I was trying to fit too much into my life and the videos were taking up valuable gardening time! I'm planning on doing one last video sometime soon to let people know

Awesome! Are you on Instagram? If so feel free to find me and flick me a message rugrew_nz

oh interesting! I've never had caterpillars on my tomatoes before!

You're welcome!

Awesome! I'm just learning about them myself - happy to share what I know

Such a handy thing to know! Makes me less frustrated that we are only getting 4 eggs from 6 chickens!

Hey - it went so well!!! Some changes to it this year due to the changing covid mandates, but we still had a wonderful year :) The seeds get saved for next years competition as well as some too the chooks and some to the wild birds

Thanks!

Thanks!!! Just be careful with the strawberry spinach as I have heard it can be quite invasive - it's only my first year with it, so I'm interested to see if it dies down over winter and if it does come back on it's own next year

haha pinching out the laterals and planting them added to my tomato jungle! I've decided that the pumpkin must have become loose and then 'deflated' due to lack of water as it looks quite dry - are you on instagram? If so - I have put a photo up there, otherwise I could take a quick video of it :) Awesome that you still have tomatoes ripening! Hopefully your frost will hold off a bit longer to get some more tomatoes ripened first!

Definitely worth a try! It has saved me so much room!

Thanks

Thanks a bunch

Looking forward to seeing them!

It's always kind of nice to know that others plants haven't gone too well - definitely wish we both had a better crop though!

Thanks a bunch! I'm such a mulch fan! Yeah I completely agree with the unpredictable climate - there is no 2 seasons that are really alike!

I completely agree! I really need to work on amount of seeds to save and ensuring I don't save seeds from plants which have cross pollinated

Thanks so much for such a lovely welcome back!

Nice to meet you too! What do you like growing?

Always great to connect with other kiwi growers! What have you planted?
