This month, so far has had its all sorts of weather, Some hard frosts lots of rain, And last week about 5 inches of snow, and to top it all off Our main town supply, water line sprung a leak. Water every where.
Plants slowly moving towards spring. Our first Reticulata Iris burst open in the snow, And a few seed from England have burst through the soil, Geraniums and Campanula. Lots more seed has arrived, Geranium phaeum, also the seed from NZAPS. sorted out and started sowing. Also lots of new Clivia seed from South Africa have arrived. Just about finished the Geranium divisions, lots of oxonianum's, and phaeum's, in the trays. All Symphytum's are done, and some even potted up. Did the Takapau community market, this month, always great to see our friends there. They have a great Face Book Page. Danneverke Country Market , not on this month, Winter rest.
