Lonicera pileata is a popular, fast-growing hedge plant; its evergreen foliage grows in an arching, spreading habit. Bulk loads available. All great size - 20- 30cm ready to plant now. Surplus stock hence very reduced price. Not to be be missed. $2 per plant
Fast-growing, spreading, drought-tolerant grey shrub. Attractive hedge with pale-blue bee-attracting flowers. Looks great as a trimmed shrub, low shelter or topiary. Great on coastal sites. Evergreen. Hardy. Lots available. $3 each
Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!
These raspberries are amazing!

Price:

- I have plants $5, $10, $15, $20
- The more you buy the better the deal
- three $10 plants for $20 is a good start
- For a decent patch you’ll need 5-6+ plants
I will:
- show you my two domestic raspberry patches
- explain how to grow them effectively
- sell you enough plants to get you started (for half what you’ll pay in the shops)
- explain how to avoid root spread
- give you a 2-page handout with instructions
Planting then now/soon will give them an awesome head start on next season (don’t wait for spring!)
These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)
NOTE: Don’t bother with white-yellow-purple-whatever colour raspberries … RED raspberries are what you want … LOTS of them.
I'm also open to swapping plants for other produce including relish, jam, whatever you make (it’s called bartering!)
Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.
PS I also have some exceptional thornless blackberries for sale.
If you are still thinking about having any exterior painting jobs completed now is the time to get this done before the weather becomes too cold or for any interior painting work now is the time to get in touch with Andy for your free measure and quote.

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.

One of the two plugs is broken on mine and rather than buy a whole new blanket, if I can find a replacement I could use it. If someone had a blanket I could either provide them with a spare plug or I could buy a plug off them as typically, you can't get parts for them! Photo shows what I need!

Speed bumps are a hot topic in many neighborhoods - they aim to slow down speeding drivers, but they also impact everyone on the road. In your opinion, do you think they do the trick or are they just an inconvenience?
