Weve got Dubby here whos currently working at our Remuera branch, shes going to show us some of these winter veggies and some handy growing tips.

what is the plant that you use for “insect problems”?
We suggest nasturtium, a strong-smelling plant with red, orange or yellow flowers which will scramble through your vege garden and disguise the smell of your vegetables from insects. Calendulas (pot marigolds) and garlic also work well.
