Eat your own raspberries all year round!

Richard from Rangiora

Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!

These raspberries are amazing!

Price:
- $20 is a starting 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.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
