Gardens
I have mature raspberry canes that I would like thinned. This would be a good time to grab a few as they are just waking up. Replant them and you will have raspberries in a few weeks - just keep their roots wet in wet newspaper and not take a bucket of my soil like a person did last year.
These have been growing in compost stuff from Bunnings that I just put on top of my gardens - not dug in, and it has worked down about 30cm into the soil now and its rich deep and full of life, so if you want to replant it that might help.
Give me a call. Leigh 0276770087.
These will be dug up and thrown away soon so act now.

Some Choice News!
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!
