My name is Lynne and I am new here.
I live in beautiful Hawkes Bay in New Zealand (at the southern end of the Pacific Ocean). The city where I live is known for its predominantly mediterranean climate - I'm not sure what zone that equates to. I've always had pretty flower gardens, but since moving into a new home I have decided to have a go at vegetable gardening. I have one raised wooden bed which I am slowly preparing ready for planting in our spring (we are entering winter here in the Southern Hemisphere). We are in a rental so, apart from the vegetable garden, I am putting cuttings and small grade shrubs, trees and perennials to avoid spending a lot of money that I can't afford.
Vege gardening is going to be a huge learning curve for me so any advice will be gratefully received.
