Christmas and early summer. If you opt for this plan, you cut down considerably the space required in your garden to grow the potatoes and you are still free to purchase your winter store spuds when they are cheaper at the end of summer. This kind of planning really saves money. You can check out the many helpful websites that calculate expected garden yields for you. Better still, start keeping your own garden diary to help you understand what your harvest per plant actually is so you can tailor planting to your own requirements. Let go & let grow Despite our best intentions, we usually sow more seeds than are actually necessary. That’s not a crime in itself, but when you decide you can’t part with the resulting seedlings because you have an emotional attachment to them and have to transplant the lot into your garden, you really are entering a world of false economy. For a start, you’ll be growing far more of one type of crop than you can hope to use and secondly, your seedlings will take up garden space that is needed for something more important. So just because the 30 broccoli seedlings you’ve raised have become like children to you, the very best thing you can do with the surplus is to give them to another gardener, donate them to a school fair, or sell them. And if none of those options work for you, turn your extras into compost. Net returns Few gardeners want to be told to slow up on buying seeds and plants because it seems, at first glance, this is what growing things is all about. But the serious budget gardener knows that there are far more important things to spend their pennies on, netting and slug bait are two of them. You can sow and grow to your heart’s content but if you don’t protect what you put in the garden, the dollars go flying out the window. Whatever you sow or plant must be protected from birds, bugs, butterflies and domestic animals. Safely under a net, your young seedlings have little to stop them reaching their potential. Netting is cheap, unless you have a secret source such as an orchardist or vintner who has a reel of it which they no longer require, so buy a quality product such as heavy gauge strawberry netting that is less likely to tear or disintegrate in the sun. And when your plants are past the stage where they need to be covered, stow it away carefully in a sack and pop it in a shed out of the weather and the UV. Opposite clockwise from top Few things are more heady than a rack of seeds, but show restraint; Save time and money by growing what they like to eat; Your garden’s best friend is a roll of netting; If you can’t find space to store the harvest, cut back on what you grow. amoré roses Shipping Now Our Bareroot Roses and New releases for 2020 Bred with a focus on health | Perfect for gardens, terrace pots, and patios | Perfect for any occasion Long-lasting garden displays | Couriered to your front door in a beautiful box Website: amoreroses.co.nz Phone: 07 824 1996 Facebook: amore roses Instagram: amorerose275 Address: 275 Vaile Road, Newstead, Waikato Region, 3286, New Zealand gardener.kiwi kiwigardener 77
