Summer rain, thriving soil and pizza on the horizon

Kia ora koutou,

We hope your māra is faring well after the generous dose of rain we’ve had over the past few days. We love summer rain like this. It does so much of the work for us. A gentle reminder to make sure your soil is well covered, either with living plants or mulch, so that precious moisture stays down where it’s needed. Cool, moist soil supports healthy plants and thriving soil life.

Seeing lots of weeds popping up? Chop and drop them.!Rather than fighting them, put them to work protecting the soil surface and feeding what’s happening below ground.

The garden is back in action 🌞

Kia ora koutou,

Ngā mihi o te Tau Hou Pākehā. Happy New Year and welcome back to the māra! We hope you’ve had time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the different rhythm of summer.

We’re right in the heart of peak growing season now and the sun is hot. A huge thank you to our watering roster crew, who have been diligently caring for the māra over the break and making sure our plants had the moisture they needed to thrive. Without you, we wouldn’t be enjoying stunning, crunchy cucumbers and the abundance that summer brings. Ngā mihi nui.
