June public growing notes

Use winter as a small, steady setup month: plant only the area you can maintain, cover weedy beds, and plan spring seedlings before the busy season.

Open monthly planner

Plant now

Small batches of lettuce, cabbage, kale, silverbeet, parsley, coriander, and garlic suit June starts in South Kaipara conditions.

Check plant windows

Prepare beds

Clear one small section, then mulch or cover unused weedy beds with cardboard or plastic so they are easier to plant later.

Food-bank growing

Households with spare space can mark a partial bed for future leafy greens or brassicas before SKGF counts it as possible supply.

Seedling support

Seedlings for shared harvest

Households can ask about seedlings when they mark a bed or partial bed for food-bank growing, and supporters can register for spring seedling packs by suggested donation.

Open spring seedling packs

Step 1

Use the planner to mark household beds, food-bank beds, and how much time you can give each week.

Step 2

Choose seedlings supplied for shared harvest if you want SKGF to follow up about starts.

Step 3

Staff confirm crop choice, household needs, timing, and likely harvest quality before counting it as supply.

Step 4

Seedlings are coordinated with SKGF batches only after the grower and staff agree the plan is practical.
