a community! I went to the Sustainable Home and Garden Show in Paraparaumu on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised that the show seemed to be well organised and that there were a huge amount of people who were willing to give information rather than just try to sell something. I have made some great contacts and have been asked along to something called a Seedy Sunday in a couple of weeks to exchange seeds and ideas with other like minded organic growers. Of course I picked up a few freebies such as seeds, sprouts, eco light bulb and some information about various organic and sustainable groupings. It pleased me to realise how many people in our district were obviously interested in a more sustainable lifestyle. And of course the weather came to the party with a beautiful autumn Kapiti day.
In my own garden I have planted out most of my cabbage, broccoli, Chinese cabbage and spinach seedlings now and I am hoping for a bit more sun to ensure that I can get some beans in for the spring. Looks good today so maybe when I get home from work. Although with daylight saving I am not sure what time it will get dark.
Happy gardening
