Nau mai ki te tau hōu Pākehā, e hoa mā. Along with books, I love gardening (I'm not very disciplined, so I probably like the idea of it more than the doing).
-
For Father's Day 2024, my kids gave me a felt growing bag with six compartments and some bags of compost. I grabbed a bag of agria seed potatoes from Mitre 10 Mega. I filled the felt bag with a mix of compost and basic potting mix with a seed potato in each compartment.
-
After digging through three of the compartments, we have new potatoes! From three seed potatoes, a small abundance. Success!
-
I've never been successful growing potatoes before and was wary of whether this would be successful, being that I placed the bag on a concrete patio in an unsheltered position. The felt bag is black and would absolutely bake in the sun. But the proof's in the pudding.
-
Many rads I know are equally enamored with gardening. There's something about growing your own kai, exercising your personal sovereignty, gradually removing some of your needs from the State and its industrial food system. I encourage everyone to grow some food. It feels awesome!

Big mihi to Aleisa and Matua Nick Roskruge who I met today when I dropped into the Tāhuri Whenua: National Māori Vegetable Growers Collective office here in Te Papaioea today to pick up a copy of 'The Kūmara Vine' by Aunty Arohanui Lawrence.
-
Making new connections is the best part of life and Aleisa threw in some kamokamo and hue kākano. Matua Nick gave me a Matakoura kūmara to sample as well. Awesome people!
-
And as always a mihi to my fellow swamp anarchist @helenmlehndorf who clued me in on this book via the 'Gram.

We went and got an LED grow light for our vege seedlings. They're sitting on a heat mat too, so we can get stuff started early as now!
