Labour Weekend means different things to different people.
For some it's fishing. For some it's camping. For some it's getting away for a few days.
For gardeners, it's decision fatigue.
Manure, Pot-ash or blood and bone? Agria or Moonlight, maybe Ilam Hardie? Trench or mound? How deep? How far apart? Have I planted them too early? Too late? Should I have asked Dave down the road?
It's a weekend packed with important choices. Yes, it's time to plant the potatoes!
Labour Day is a national holiday. Coincidence? We think not.
It was created to give New Zealand enough time to plant its potatoes.
Have you got yours in yet?
Whatever you're up to this weekend, enjoy the break and make the most of it.
