"On my way home to lunch I came across this tui sitting on my neighbour's kowhai tree just singing away...I got as close as I could thinking he would fly away but he just kept singing....just singing in the rain."

This dainty climber will flower all Summer. It is a wee bit frost tender but will come away again.
Little heart shaped leaves and blue thumb sized deep purple/blue flowers, it looks amazing growing up a trellis, or fence. It does well in pots too.

Blackcurrants are easy to grow , and produce an abundance of black fruit just before Christmas. Great for making jam or blackberry and apple crumble pudding. You can also make your own blackcurrant juice.
This is a small well rooted cutting but will put on rapid growth.

This one is growing in a 10cm pot and is 40cms high at present.
I've pictured blackcurrant fruit from my mature bushes, but the one on sale is in the red pot.

This peony is in flower at the moment. The flower is large and this particular one is white like a pompom.
Peonies love the sun, are drought tolerant, die down in the winter, and need a metre square space to spread in. They are amazing cut flowers and come into bloom at this time of the year.

The Australian town recently celebrated an achievement years in the making, when seven students from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Thamarrurr College received their diplomas, the first to do so since a single student graduated in 2014.

Rotary lawnmower, Briggs and Stratton Motor. Martel mowers told me that LawnMaster is a good brand of mower.
Comes with catcher.

Comes with catcher.
Does a good job and up to date on all the servicing.
Reason for selling is that it is a pull start and I need a push button start mower. It was my husbands mower. Was perfect for him to use but I need something lighter. I haven't got room to store it. It's been undercover in the garage.
It hasn't been started for a few months .
You are welcome to the petrol can if you would like it.

The white petals open out wide to saucer size with gold throat. The flower has a wonderful fragrance.
This is a beautiful older peony, having been potted up from a well established garden, so you may not see it in Garden Centres.
Peonies are wonderful cut flowers, they like the sun, are very drought tolerant after a year or two and put on a spectacular show this time of the year.
They need a square metre garden space to show all their glory.
Thanks for looking.

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.
Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.
