Climate Change

August 27, 2018 By SandRa Timmins Leave a Comment

Things have been going a bit tits up here at Stoney Ground Herbs.  I’ve been throwing blame about but have now cottoned on to what actually is the issue.

 

We are now living in a completely different climate that we have ever lived in.  My gardening and Stoney Ground Herbs has always been in temperate New Zealand, coastal and warmer.  Eketahuna is in the bronx of the cool/mountain climate.  I somewhat foolishly haven’t adjusted my growing practices to reflect the differences between coastal and mountainous.  And in actual fact, without some massive tunnel houses a lot of my plants aren’t going to be ready until November.  My mother plants are still adjusting to the change so I have limited stock for some plants and none at all for some of my stock standards…

Very limited stock;

  • Motherwort
  • Southernwood
  • Oregano vulgare
  • Purple sage
  • Soapwort
  • Lemon thyme
  • Vietnamese mint
  • Bergamot, wild
  • French Tarragon
  • Pineapple sage

Plants that won’t be available this year;

  • Echinacea
  • Rose geranium
  • Common sage
  • Nutmeg geranium
  • Creeping thyme
  • Thyme, English winter
  • Summer savory
  • Stevia
  • And I’m thinking I’m going to flag the tomatoes this year as well as the zucchini.

In so saying though I do have new plants available!!

  • Basil mint (I love this herb, the taste is great but mainly because it sounds slightly bedazzling!)
  • St Johns Wort
  • Greek oregano
  • Elder
  • Dill
  • Silver Posy thyme

Give me a bit and I’ll start updating my website accordingly.

Other changes are that courier prices have gone up so I’m having to change my costs accordingly.  Whilst we’re on the subject of couriers they just get too crazy busy during the Xmas period so I will not be sending any plants after the 10th December until the new year.

Here’s to learning curves!
