Plastic-free gardening

Before the garden shop incident, I was feeling very proud of how little plastic I'd used in the garden this year.

I planted:

  • Awapuni courgette and pumpkin plants (sold wrapped in newspaper at New World)
  • Sweetcorn, pea, cornflower, chickpea and annual bean seeds in paper packets
  • Scarlet runner seeds saved from last year
  • Koanga edamame seeds gifted from a fellow community gardener
  • Cherry tomato plants from my dad
  • Heritage tomato plants (sold wrapped in newpaper from the organic stall at the Victoria St markets)

Whoo, look at that: zero plastic. Frickin' brilliant!
