Fig corner

Growth. The first photo is 2006.
I remember following the digger around with a sack of seeds and then tree planting.
Now this corner has loads of natives, tagasaste, figs, olives, pomegranates, a pa harakeke, basket willows and some small acacia. You cannot even see the caravan that is parked on the little pull in -and that is without the fig leaves.

Diversity

My new (only had for three years) pumpkins. I love this butternut as it is so quick to peel and cut because the whole long end has no seeds. They also store well and look really funky.

Over the last few years I have been trialing some new varieties of pumpkins (more variety in the seed bank). To keep seed true to type this has meant developing more isolation gardens (more work).

I love the new varieties so am looking to find some people to help with all of the mahi so our seed bank has a little more diversity.
