Finding and Growing Kai Everywhere

 Zinnia group were looking after the feijoa hedge today. We pruned it and put the worm castings from the worm farm around the roots. We also tried taking feijoa cuttings – if these grow we’ll have more fejoa plants and maybe more fejoas.

And we are growing lemons! What are we going to use them for – lemonade, lemon muffins or lemon cake?

While planting the broad beans today we found some pumpkin – Jaimee explained to us that when the ring around the stalk had shrunk down it is a sign that the pumpkin is ready to eat.

And Ruma 11 has been working hard digging up the kumara – some for Matariki and some for us to take home and eat with our whanau. We have got a great crop.

Meanwhile the Dahlia group spent the day planting rerengarerenga by the hall. It’s a shady area, perfect for rengarenga. And in summer their beautiful white flowers will brighten up the spot.
