Have strawberriesfor50cents just starting, some swan plant seedlings $1.Lots of good ground covers - green sedum, mondo grass and orange clivias for $1. Nearly used all the pots I needed too, so thank you all.
Also selling a couple of big specimen jade -$20 already in brown pots. Other stuff as well but will not have too many more after June. Few copper bromiliads @ $3. And some more cannas $4 Australanas/med brown leaf and dark apricot flowers/couple more yellow which have been the most popular. Autumn is the time when we uplift all plants, throw away old parts and replant with new compost and fertilsor to make new healthy plants for spring.
NB. Easy to spot ATM - roadworks have dropped huge sign y my driveway. Just turn at the big blue arrow!!!

The name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday (5 April) in 1722. Roggeveen named it Paasch-Eyland (18th-century Dutch for "Easter Island")
The island's official Spanish name, Isla de Pascua, also means "Easter Island". Chile annexed Easter Island in 1888.
.
The large stone statues, or moai, for which Easter Island is famous, were carved in the period 1100–1680 AD. A total of 887 monolithic stone statues have been inventoried on the island and in museum collections. Although often identified as "Easter Island heads".

NZTA is unaware of specific concerns relating to other individual vehicles however, due to the concerning admissions around Peninsula Motor’s inspection practices and there is a strong possibility that some vehicles may have been incorrectly passed. For this reason, they strongly encourage people who have a current Warrant of Fitness issued from Peninsula Motors to get their vehicle rechecked.
The NZ Transport Agency will contact around 1170 affected vehicle owners individually as soon as possible to advise them on recheck options. Vouchers will be provided and will be valid for six months from the date of issue. More information here.
