Hi all

We here at CHB.NET.NZ are here for you during this time. Online presence for a business is more important than ever. Your clients need to be able to find you and find your services. What do you do? If you are local can you courier your products to members or clients. Everything must be done within the health and safety rules set down by the government and Ministry of Health. They have information we do not have and we need to trust they know what they are doing.

If you know someone in CHB that runs a business and is not listed in our business section of the website let them know they can get a free listing. We also have options for webpages at a cost. Make contact if you are interested.

Take care out there.

Gardening Jobs for March by Judith Halford

joyce — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 04:29:08 +0000

# In March we are busy harvesting, preserving and planting for the winter....

# Sow seeds of parsnips , carrots, swedes, turnips and broad beans . Plant seedlings of spinach, kale, silver beet, bok choy and pak choi. And also cabbage, cauli., and broccoli. Remember to plant a few different vegetables each fortnight, rather than having everything ready to eat at the same time.

# Sow sweet pea seed for spring flowering. Soak seed overnight in water before sowing.Add sheep pellets, lime and compost to soil before sowing and then watch slugs and snails don't eat them as they germinate.

# Spring flowering bulbs are beginning to appear in garden centres. Be in early for those popular or rare varieties.

# Take cuttings of roses, fuchsia, lavender and buxus. Use last springs growth which is now semi- hard, dip in clonex and put into a very gritty mix, such as cacti or propagating mix.

# If you notice ants running up and down stems of citrus or shrubs in sheltered positions, they are usually infested with scale insect. Spray with conqueror oil and shield. This will smoother scale, and kill off scale larvae and the sooty mould.

# New varieties of flower annuals will be available now,to replace petunias etc. Get pansy, primula etc in now while it is still warm and they will flower all winter.

# Autumn is a good time to renew or patch up your lawn. Yates Quick Fix, is worth considering.

Gardening Jobs for November 2017 by Judith Halford

# Continue to plant tomatoes, peppers, kumara, cucumbers and all those vegetables that like it warm.

# Mound up your potatoes. Any potato tubers on the surface will go green and then not edible.

# Sow sweet corn and bean seeds directly into the ground. Watch for slugs and snails on your beans, they love them. Sweet corn produce better if planted in a block.

# Feed tomato plants with a specific fertiliser, high in potash. Also take out laterals and tie plants up a stake, carefully.

# Cover berry fruit with bird netting, as the birds will find them, as they colour up. Keep plants watered and well fed.

# Tie or support new growth on climbing roses, dahlias and delphiniums.

# Spray lawns now for prickle weed and don’t forget to do it again in the autumn.

# Trim hedges now and they will stay tidy over the summer.

Gardening Jobs for October 2018 by Judith Halford

judithhalford — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 20:23:26 +0000

# Longer days are welcomed and warmer temperatures[we hope]

# October is a busy month, particularly in the vegetable garden. But be warned, some things prefer it quite warm so wait until end of month.

# Start to fertilise…as with warmer soils and moisture plants put on good growth, especially citrus, roses and fruit trees.

# Sow carrot and parsnip seed. Put a board on row of parsnip. This keeps them moist during germination. Don’t forget to take it off after 10 days. Take time to sow carrots or use seed tapes so you don’t have to thin.

# Sow pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini etc. seeds in peat pots in warm spot, too plant out at end of month, without having to disturb them.

# Still time to plant a few potatoes for Christmas dinner. Choose a variety that matures in 80 to 90days e.g Allura, Jersey Benne, Purple Passion or Rocket.

# Give garlic a feed of liquid food or worm wee every 3 weeks to ensure a bumper size clump.

# Be on bug patrol. Slugs and snails, and aphids can be quietly destroying your treasures.

# Labour weekend is the traditional time to plant tomatoes, cucumbers and kumara, and this is still the case.

# Fertilise and spray lawns. Don’t cut lawns too low. Raise lawnmower blades and mow more often.

# Enjoy this busy time….

# When the soil dries out, continue to prune roses. Spray with a mix of spraying oil and Copper. This seals the cuts and smoothes scale and fungi.

# Plant new roses, trees and berries.

# Think about where you could plant some vegetables as we are approaching spring. Even if it’s only a couple of lettuce and silver beet plants. It always tastes better when you have grown it yourself.

# Fertilise roses, citrus and fruit trees. Take care to keep fertilizer away from the trunk, and water in well.

# Green tip or early bud movement, begins in stone fruits, soon. Spray with copper to protect from leaf curl and bladder plum.

# Wood ash can be sprinkle sparingly on gardens and raked in, but NOT near camellias, rhodos. and other acid loving plants.

# Summer bulbs like, dahlias, gladioli and tuberous begonias become available in August.

# Give your wild birds a treat…a seed bell, special seed cakes or sugar water for the Tui, [a cup of sugar dissolved in 1 litre of warm water], as their food supply is limited at this time of the year.Better still, plant plants that will feed them at this time, such as single flowered varieties of Camellia, Kowhai Dragons Gold, Prunus campanulata varieties, Grevilleas and Crap apple trees.

# Enjoy the scents of winter, Daphne and Winter Sweet. Pick the flowers to prune, encouraging new growth and therefore flowers for next year.

# The shortest day has past but still time to plant your garlic. Push each clove into the soil, about finger length and the point facing up.

# Plant new fruit trees…plums, peaches pears etc.

# Purchase new and plant replacement roses. Remember to remove soil where old rose was and replace with rose compost. When planting a new rose bed add lots of compost and use slow release fertiliser under each plant. This will begin to work as the soil warms up in spring.

# Sharpen, clean[with hot soapy water], and oil secateurs and loppers for your rose pruning.Avoid walking on garden beds when very wet.

# Prune gooseberry, blackcurrants, grapes raspberries and rambling boysenberries.

# Pipfruit, [apples and pears] generally have a central leader with several tiers of branches. They fruit on spurs and these will fruit for many years, so cut back new upright growth to a couple of buds, that will form spurs.

# Citrus can have a black sooty mould over leaves and stems. This fungus is growing on the sugars which have come out of the plant where the scale insects have damaged the cuticle of the leaf. Spray with spraying oil, which will smoother these pests. You will have to spray several times.

# Plant flowering polyanthus in dull areas, or in containers.
