Look at our amazing display of Beeswax candles 🔥🔥

Rhubarb is great in recipes such as jam, crumbles and pies. It is an easy plant to grow, has a few enemies, is remarkably hardy and is great for those forgetful gardeners. Autumn through to summer is the best time to plant Rhubarb, so start now!

Tips on how to grow Rhubarb:
🥬Likes plenty of moisture and fertiliser. Find a sunny spot and dig in lots of organic matter such as well matured compost and add some blood and bone.
🥬Make sure to have adequate drainage in the soil as Rhubarb will rot at the base if it is constantly damp.
🥬Plant the roots under the soil but only to the point where the leaves emerge at ground level. They need space to grow as their foliage is dense and large. You will also need to consider other plants in your garden as the foliage can overshadow and shade other plants.
🥬Continue feeding right through the growing season which depending on your region will be from Spring to Summer. Apply liquid fertiliser every couple of weeks.

How cute is this baby tomato growing in one of our stores 🍅

If you didn't know already chlorophyll is a green pigment present in all plants, it is crucial for a plant's development. It absorbs sunlight and helps photosynthesis. Tomato seeds are green because they contain chlorophyll, once they mature and grow the chlorophyll breaks down and lycopene develops which is responsible for the ripe tomato color.

This little tomato still has a while to go but before you know it, it will be ready to harvest 🥰

Look at these beautiful beeswax candles from Beetopia NZ. These are only a few of the candles we stock from them, come in and check out the rest of the range!!

A bit about Beetopia NZ and their beeswax candles 🐝

Beetopia is a small family run business which focuses on NZ pollinator education. They use 100% pure beeswax from their beehives to create gorgeous candles which produce a delicious scent of honey and a flame that has the same spectrum as sunlight. Their beeswax candles are made from a natural substance, they do not need to be fragranced or altered in any way. Beeswax does not release any toxic by-products when burned and burns longer than other candles. Beeswax candles are biodegradable, compostable and require no chemical process. This creates a healthier and more sustainable living environment.

Each candle has a diverse colour of beeswax. It is based on the purity, the region, the type of flowers gathered by the bees and how exposed the honey and pollen is within the hive 💜

Did you know you can grow a new potato from an existing one? 😮🥔

Well yes that is correct and kind of fascinating isn't it. Potatoes are easy to grow so here is a few important tips:

🥔Seed potatoes need to sprout before they can be planted which can take 4-6 weeks. Lay the seed potatoes out on a seed tray or egg carton in a sunny spot. When the shoots are 3-4cm long, they are ready to plant!
🥔Plant seed potatoes in mid-September, ready for harvest on Christmas day
🥔Potatoes are gross feeders so we recommend digging in Tui Potato Food
🥔Plant seed potatoes in furrows (rows of small trenches) about 15cm deep and 80cm apart in the garden
🥔To grow in containers place 10cm of garden mix in the bottom and lay about 5 sprouted seed potatoes on top with the sprouts pointing up
