Title: I've been a lurker...thought I should try joining. Also from NZ
Post by: BrownThumb on April 29, 2017, 05:14:57 AM

I have been slowly improving my gardening skills.  such as they are.  I am very interested in learning more about propagation techniques and keeping seeds viable during storage.  My main aim is to grow veg and flowers but also to increase the numbers of natives on our little lifestyle block.  I have a small greenhouse where I grow some tropicals.  Just setting up to try growing turmeric from rootstock sample.

Finally have some Kiwi fruit (after 2 failures), Loquat and Feijoa that are old enough to produce a little fruit.

I'm retired but still work part time.  Mostly Food Science and Biochemistry.

Yes.  The pair are climbing up an old water tank and look pretty happy there.
