Garlic, spring onions, and celery
The weather has been against garlic planters: too much moisture. Cloves have rotted in the ground. We have well established plants ready to go into your garden beds and ramp away. The price of garlic has gone through the roof, so secure your supply now.

The weather has been against garlic planters: too much moisture. Cloves have rotted in the ground. We have well established plants ready to go into your garden beds and ramp away. The price of garlic has gone through the roof, so secure your supply now.
Also celery, for a continuous supply, pick what you need, when you need it, not because you have a great lump festering in your vegie drawer.
And spring onions that are ready when you want them.
We'll be at the market Saturday unless the weather is too, too awful. Look for us partway down Park Avenue.
Looking for a bit of brightness in your flower beds or some pots on the doorstep? We all need a bit of cheering up. We have large potted colour polyanthus, violas, pansies and daisies that will brighten up your garden beds, pots or just fill a few gaps and flower through until late spring.
See you Saturday, weather permitting!!!

This is a unique cute self contained property in a private, secure beach Resort.
This is in a gated community with it's own swimming pool, tennis court, carpark plus much more. Relax in your own little cottage garden with garden shed and even grow a few veges. Covered outdoor space, heatpump & own carpark.
It is mostly occupied by retired residents who all enjoy this safe, quiet neighborhood so would be ideal for a single mature adult looking for a quiet, safe & friendly environment or anyone wanting the same thing. Close to beach, bus stop & dairy. Furnished part or full or unfurnished options.

Hopefully somebody at Neighbourly will read this. What on earth is the point of having a "recommendations" heading. under "Domestic Cleaning" when all of postings are over 2000, yes 2000, days old?
