Autumn Episode 25 Your Garden Coach NZ

    • Home & Garden

I might take a moment to thank our listeners for joining us each week and for the lovely feedback you give us.
Each message is welcomed and helps us to write the stories you’d like us to tell. Please keep your emails coming. 
Building this gardening community is heartwarming and very fulfilling. You are appreciated.


In this weeks episode we talk to Charlotte from Kings Seeds. A family-owned small business, run with expertise and passion. We’ve discovered our values align well with Charlotte and her team. We both aim to bring encouragement and support to home gardeners.
Charlotte gives us a few suggestions as to what seeds we can start both in the vegetable and flower garden, some of her favourite flowers, and we have a competition for you. A Seasonal Gift basket that Kings Seeds have put together for us. Be sure to listen and enter.


Also, Kings Seeds are offering a $20 gift voucher every week.


Our vegetable of the week is the humble onion - fairly easy to grow and much appreciated in most home-cooked meals. Discover how you can feed your onions so they, in turn, can feed you.


It’s Autumn Equinox today 20th March, at precisely 4.06pm - What is the Autumn Equinox? and how can you celebrate this special event? 


Tea of the week Rose, Lavender, and Cardamom, a relaxing tea.


Sow and plant until 22nd then cultivate your soil, add lots of lovely nutrients to replenish those that have fed your summer vegetables.


Time to plant Brassicas, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Broccoli.
Cauliflower, Celery, lettuce, silverbeet, snow peas on your windowsill, and the last sowing of Spring onions for the season.


Book of the week - The Allergy-Fighting Garden, how to create a garden for those who suffer with allergies


Victoria from Cromwell asked how we care for herbs over winter…


Glossary - Evapotranspiration, the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere.


Be sure to enjoy your garden tasks and reap the many rewards.


Happy gardening
