GARDENING

Still Counting

Last week disappeared in a complete blur.  There was lots of the usual hoeing and rock building but that’s kind of becoming a bit boring – well not boring to do but boring to talk about. The weather has thrown some excitement into the mix.  It has been a really warm autumn with winter just over 2 weeks away we are still experiencing temperatures in … Continue reading Still Counting

I think I broke the drought!

We haven’t had any rain in absolutely ages.  In January we had 40mm of rain and while it felt like it was a wet and miserable summer only 10 rainy days were actually wet and most of it came from one day that had 23mm.  February had 20 days without a drop and the other 8 days shared out 11mm between them!  March wasn’t much … Continue reading I think I broke the drought!

I might be a passenger princess on this trip but it's not all play and no work... I've been working on the 2026/27 garden plan and am hoping to make some dramatic changes.Having said that... There have been a few distractions like champagne and caviar being served off a surf board in Fakarava, while fairly decent sized sharks cruise past! One of my favourite days. : o) ...

Even at sea we will remember them. As the only kiwi's among a handful of Aussies we were privileged to attend an emotionally moving dawn ANZAC service. Lest We Forget. ... See MoreSee Less

Today was a magnificent garden filled day. We took a tour with the lovely Herbert from Hava'i Tour by 4x4y 4x4, who was a passionate permaculture gardener from the island of Raiatea in Tahiti. We had the most fabulous experience learning about the agricultural history of the island, including visiting a pearl farm, and finding out about the plants that grow locally, and specifically all of the amazing edible plants that can be grown in the tropical French Polynesia. Not only did we get to visit the Botanical Gardens on the Island, but we got to visit our guide's home to see his productive vegetable garden and try the vanilla infused honey he makes with his bees from the flowers of the coconut trees. It was a truly wonderful day and one I wont forget for a very long time. : o) ... See MoreSee Less

Today we went to the most amazingly tranquil garden - the Jardins De L'Assemblée De La Polynésie Française in Papeete, Tahiti. It was once the palace of Queen Pomare IV in the 1800's. It is now home to the French Polynesian Assembly. There is a beautiful garden path beside a crystal clear stream that lead to a freshwater pool where Queen Pomare IV used to bathe. It was like a lush secret garden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of downtown Papeete. : o) ... See MoreSee Less
