Tomaato, tomayto... however you pronounce it,

this bright red delight is certainly a staple.

From adding a healthy, fresh touch to a lunchtime sandwich or providing the base for a whole raft of dinnertime delicacies, it’s a must-have in any good home garden.And while it’s quick and easy to grab a few toms from your local store or simply open a can (as I do on occasion), there’s nothing quite like the taste of a home-grown one.As we spring into the warmer months (hopefully the chill is starting to abate at your place), now’s a good time to get out into your vege patch and put the groundwork in place for a healthy summer crop.To get started, grab some Awapuni Nurseries tomato seedlings from your local supermarket, or plant/nursery store. Or order some from our online shop at www.awapuni.co.nz and get them delivered direct to your door. Don’t be too conservative when it comes to plant numbers – tomatoes are so versatile I reckon you can never have too many.When thinking about the best place to plant your seedlings, look for somewhere that’s sunny, but sheltered from strong winds. And here’s a tip: if you’ve grown

tomatoes before, plant them somewhere different this time. You’ll reduce the chances of your tomatoes developing nasty diseases like blight.If garden space is limited, why not give pots a go? The bright red fruit will add a welcome splash of colour to your porch or deck. You can even plant cherry tomatoes in the middle of hanging baskets, with a range of herbs around the outside, as long as you position them in a warm, sunny spot.If it’s been a wet winter where you are, add a bit of lime to your earth. That’s because tomatoes thrive in soil with a moderate pH and large amounts of rain tend to lower your soil’s acidity level. Don’t forget to dig in compost to improve soil conditions.Once your prep work is complete, dig a hole, approximately 3cms deep and space your tomato seedlings about one foot apart. Fill in the holes with soil.Once planted, spray your tomatoes with liquid copper to prevent fungal diseases. And add a general fertiliser, like nitrophoska blue, to the soil surrounding the tomatoes to encourage large, juicy fruit.When it comes to watering, avoid overhead hosing as it can leave your plants more susceptible to diseases like downy mildew, rust, and blight. A better way to keep your plants moist is to layer newspaper around them, and then cover the newspaper with peastraw.

This creates mulch that will prevent your plants drying out during the day and in between watering sessions.I also recommend picking off the laterals as they develop. If you imagine a tomato plant has a main trunk that grows straight up with branches growing off this trunk at roughly 90 degrees, the laterals are the smaller stems that develop at approximately 45 degrees in between the main trunk and branch.Often laterals won’t produce fruit but can produce a lot of leaves. If you pick them off it allows the plant to put all its energy into growing fruit, rather than a whole lot of leaves you don’t need. Apply the same formula for working out the laterals on the main trunk to working out which are the laterals on each subsequent branch. Make sense?And if spring hasn’t quite sprung in your neck of the woods, try cutting the base off two litre plastic milk bottles (recycle the base) and place the remaining parts of the bottles over the seedlings. These mini greenhouses will protect your plants from frosts and cold winds.Once your tomato seedlings grow a bit taller they’ll need staking to help stabilise and protect them from strong winds. You can do this any way you like but I prefer the teepee method. Take three stakes and place them in the ground with the tomato plant in the middle, then tie the stakes together at the top with rope or string. And why not get the kids to decorate the stakes while you’re at it?

Simply follow these instructions and I bet you’ll have a great crop of anti-oxidant rich fruit by November, adding colour to your garden and flavour to your plate.

LIVE THE GOOD LIFE

Industry Comment

If you are thinking of selling your rural property, here is a brief “checklist”

to consider:

Your solicitor should be involved, for instance sometimes the farm for instance is owned by a trust and farmed by an individual. The trust and the trustees will therefore be making the decisions.

Your accountant will also help with any tax and GST issues which may occur and therefore best possession date options.

A LIM report should be obtained from the Council early and any queries or non consented issues can be remedied before the property goes to the market.

All and any consents particularly any irrigation consents and/or irrigation shares should of been obtained and clarified. With a dairy property effluent consents and milking shed maintenance records are of the uttermost importance.

Recent soil test are another key necessity for the sale process. I believe DDT tests are still important as well as fertility tests and a nutrient budget baseline must be established for most purchasers.

Paddock history is a major factor in the sale of any arable property and in particular, when the property has the ability to grow vegetable crops.

A professional farm map is a good idea as it can show paddock sizes, laneways and shelter etc, but also stock and irrigation water supply lines with underground layout.

Whether it is a rural farm property or a house in town, presentation is always important. Make sure the gates swing, trim the hedge, get the scrap man in and make the property as tidy as possible

Be sure to get a licensed and reputable Real Estate Agent – most important of all!

Monthly Tasks

Add colour to your garden by growing

larkspur, livingstone daisies, lobelia, marigolds,

petunia and sweet peas.

Plant new season veges like lettuce, cucumber, silver beet and spinach for stocking the pantry and tummies in a couple of months.

Now’s also a good time to plant scarlet runners (you'll need a bean frame for scarlet runners) and dwarf beans. Dwarf beans are super easy to grow, and you can eat both straight out of the garden.

Protect zucchini, capsicum and tomato seedlings from late frosts. You can use plastic milk bottles - cut the base off and place over the top of the seedlings - or purchase a closure from your local garden centre. A closure is a form of white netting that lets in light and air but no frost.

Watch out for aphids.

Mulch all flowerbeds to keep out weeds and protect your plants from cooler weather.

Start making your own compost. Compost will improve your soil structure, reduce the need for synthetic fertiliser and help with water retention in summer.

Lastly, if you haven’t already, finish splitting and replanting your strawberry runners before they start to shoot away.

Braided Rivers’ staff and head chef, Dean Robinson, are on an Ashburton taste mission and it will be an

“awesome food experience” not to be missed.If you love fine food and wine, step outside

your comfort zone and come with an open mind and adventurous spirit to Braided Riv-ers September 18's special degustation even-ing.

Don’t be put off by the word “degustation”, it may be French but it’s not scary and there will be no snails on the menu.

It is a chance to open your mind and taste-buds to new flavour sensations. It’s just a taste, and in Braided Rivers’ case, a taste of things to come. It’s not about going along and having a huge meal. It’s an all-night feast of the senses and “showcasing some of the foods we can present,” says Dean.

Dean reckons that the night is ideal for any-one where good food and wine is a must. “It’s a fantastic night for family/friend groups, business clients, date nights. It’s a great even-ing out, a real social evening. And while it’s

fun, it’s also an education on fine wine and fine dining.”

“It’s about what flows on the palate and we will be matching wines and food that flows throughout the whole menu,” says Dean.

The evening will consist of five courses, with palate-cleansing sor-bets in between, wine and grapes to complement the flavours and, with every course, a special wine will be paired up to enhance each experi-ence.

“We also want to use local produce as much as possible,” says Dean

September's degustation evening features wine from Te Awanga.

And there are other fantastic win-eries to come.

With a huge new wine list, gor-geous new menu and enthusiastic, professional staff Braided Rivers is raising the bar in local dining.

So if you love fine wine and food, don’t miss out on an evening that will be a feast in every way.
