Red Clover

Clover helps provide abundant nitrogen to farms and orchards all over the world.

Before Bumblebees were brought into New Zealand clover seed had to be brought in every year.  Only the long tongues of Bumble Bees could fertilize Clover.

It also makes a colorful and tasty addition to salads.

Gourd tendril

Tendrils are amazingly touch sensitive. as soon as they come into contact with something they start contracting and spiral.

Any plants with tendrils can be trained up into trellises, huts, archways walls................even better if they are edible.

Red Admiral

These beautiful native butterflies lay their eggs in stinging nettle bushes. The catterpillars use webs to roll up webs to keep safe.

Various introduced wasp species have had a big impact on these beauties.

Tree House

Lining, windows, door, cladding, built in bunk, 12 volt power system....all with a view of the tree tops. We all want to move in.

What a project. A big thank you to family that helped out.
