00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Teams podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,173
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b Route.

3
00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:16,453
Speaker 2: Climb passes in the garden for us this morning, Good morning.

4
00:00:17,133 --> 00:00:19,173
Speaker 3: Good morning, And I am in the garden because it's

5
00:00:19,293 --> 00:00:21,333
Speaker 3: wonderful here, and I.

6
00:00:21,333 --> 00:00:23,293
Speaker 2: Think it's wonderful in a lot of places actually, And

7
00:00:23,373 --> 00:00:25,693
Speaker 2: there's another big front coming through in a couple of days.

8
00:00:26,613 --> 00:00:28,613
Speaker 2: You can almost tell it perfectly. I reckon that the

9
00:00:28,733 --> 00:00:32,413
Speaker 2: moment that school comes back after especially after a tumultuous summer,

10
00:00:32,453 --> 00:00:34,533
Speaker 2: the moment that school comes back and everyone goes back

11
00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:36,613
Speaker 2: to work, that's when the summer really kicks off. When

12
00:00:36,653 --> 00:00:39,613
Speaker 2: you get the twenty years, nine degrees, the still days,

13
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:42,173
Speaker 2: the perfect surf, you know it, or you can just

14
00:00:43,053 --> 00:00:47,133
Speaker 2: it's Murphy's law, you know, you just see anyway. So

15
00:00:47,173 --> 00:00:49,133
Speaker 2: the good news is that the pomegranate is still standing.

16
00:00:49,333 --> 00:00:50,893
Speaker 2: I know that I'm going to have to update everyone

17
00:00:50,893 --> 00:00:53,373
Speaker 2: this week, but yes, we still have a pomegranate growing.

18
00:00:53,733 --> 00:00:55,533
Speaker 2: It's a little bit larger than it was this time

19
00:00:55,653 --> 00:00:57,973
Speaker 2: last week. It's now the first thing anytime someone comes

20
00:00:58,013 --> 00:00:59,813
Speaker 2: around to our house. It's the first thing that nine

21
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:02,293
Speaker 2: year old goes and introduces them to. At the moment

22
00:01:02,293 --> 00:01:03,973
Speaker 2: someone knocks on the door. He goes straight out and

23
00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:05,493
Speaker 2: he says, well, before you come inside, have a look

24
00:01:05,493 --> 00:01:07,013
Speaker 2: at our pomegranate is growing.

25
00:01:09,933 --> 00:01:11,773
Speaker 3: Is that roomy? Becoming a nature now?

26
00:01:11,893 --> 00:01:13,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I think it's been a nation ner for

27
00:01:13,853 --> 00:01:16,213
Speaker 2: some time. Yeah, but he's very he's very proud of it.

28
00:01:16,293 --> 00:01:19,573
Speaker 2: So I love it. Not necessarily half pad, but pomegrant's

29
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:22,653
Speaker 2: proud and so that's we'll take it. But you've got

30
00:01:22,693 --> 00:01:25,653
Speaker 2: some advice this morning on going pomegrants, because it's not

31
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,653
Speaker 2: the sort of thing you usually see, is it.

32
00:01:28,093 --> 00:01:30,853
Speaker 3: No, it isn't. It isn't, to be quite honest. And

33
00:01:30,893 --> 00:01:33,213
Speaker 3: I must say thank you Martha for starting this, because

34
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:35,413
Speaker 3: I think you're going to change something in New Zealand

35
00:01:36,173 --> 00:01:38,573
Speaker 3: just saying yes, it is a bit like that. Not

36
00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:41,293
Speaker 3: many people do that. But and when I asked Julie,

37
00:01:41,333 --> 00:01:44,173
Speaker 3: we should have one because because Libby will have one

38
00:01:44,213 --> 00:01:47,133
Speaker 3: and we'll all have one. And Julie says no, I'm

39
00:01:47,173 --> 00:01:49,413
Speaker 3: not too sure because she's not totally with it. But

40
00:01:49,773 --> 00:01:52,533
Speaker 3: you're right, it is a yes or a no. And

41
00:01:53,053 --> 00:01:55,453
Speaker 3: you know, the wonderful red flowers is beautiful. Oh, by

42
00:01:55,493 --> 00:01:58,453
Speaker 3: the way, at the Botenny Guns here in Hagley Park.

43
00:01:58,533 --> 00:02:01,333
Speaker 3: There is one about two and a half three meters long,

44
00:02:02,413 --> 00:02:05,453
Speaker 3: just like that. Flowers everywhere and I and jewels and

45
00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:07,533
Speaker 3: are going to keep an eye on that. Actually, So

46
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:09,293
Speaker 3: this is the point. A lot of people don't know

47
00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:12,013
Speaker 3: what it is, but here you go that it comes

48
00:02:12,053 --> 00:02:15,733
Speaker 3: from warm regions, especially all around the world, you know,

49
00:02:15,773 --> 00:02:19,013
Speaker 3: the subtropical regions Mediteria and a and all that. And

50
00:02:19,613 --> 00:02:22,773
Speaker 3: now we're trying to do it here. Plant the things

51
00:02:22,813 --> 00:02:25,693
Speaker 3: in winter number one, because that's a good time to

52
00:02:25,773 --> 00:02:29,093
Speaker 3: do it. And I think that is yeah, And they

53
00:02:29,093 --> 00:02:32,733
Speaker 3: are more available than I thought. If you go on

54
00:02:32,773 --> 00:02:34,973
Speaker 3: the on the website, you'll find them all over the place.

55
00:02:35,653 --> 00:02:39,613
Speaker 3: You put them in a sunny spot, regular full sun

56
00:02:39,853 --> 00:02:44,613
Speaker 3: is probably the best. A large area with drained fertile

57
00:02:44,853 --> 00:02:48,413
Speaker 3: soil with the good depth of like half a meter deep.

58
00:02:48,853 --> 00:02:52,253
Speaker 3: You really if you prepare that, and if you've done that, mate,

59
00:02:52,693 --> 00:02:56,493
Speaker 3: you will go for years with that. It's nice. Do

60
00:02:56,573 --> 00:02:57,733
Speaker 3: you fertilize it at all?

61
00:02:57,853 --> 00:03:01,413
Speaker 2: I yeah, I mean I've put a sea soil on

62
00:03:01,413 --> 00:03:04,133
Speaker 2: it from time to time. I actually put some sheet

63
00:03:04,173 --> 00:03:06,213
Speaker 2: pellets on it last week as well, So I do,

64
00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:09,373
Speaker 2: but put nothing nothing more should be more on there.

65
00:03:09,853 --> 00:03:12,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you should, especially now because your plants

66
00:03:12,813 --> 00:03:15,013
Speaker 3: are flowering and you will get a fruit of course,

67
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:18,093
Speaker 3: and you need an NPK that you get from citrus

68
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:21,933
Speaker 3: fertilizer that sort of stuff, and you do that basically

69
00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:24,413
Speaker 3: from spring to autumn. Da da dada. That's when you

70
00:03:24,453 --> 00:03:26,533
Speaker 3: and you really give them that and they all love it.

71
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:28,973
Speaker 3: Not don't go over the top, but it's good. I

72
00:03:29,093 --> 00:03:32,053
Speaker 3: did not know that there is a dwarf variety called

73
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:35,813
Speaker 3: Nana that you can put in blood plant pots if

74
00:03:35,813 --> 00:03:38,813
Speaker 3: you want them closer to the house. Yes, that's cool

75
00:03:38,853 --> 00:03:41,613
Speaker 3: because you've got a mobile one that is good and

76
00:03:41,733 --> 00:03:44,453
Speaker 3: you know when it gets to think too cold, for instance,

77
00:03:44,493 --> 00:03:48,653
Speaker 3: in certain areas. Now you've got it for three years.

78
00:03:50,053 --> 00:03:55,173
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, okay, that is what is normally the case.

79
00:03:55,213 --> 00:03:58,293
Speaker 3: But you get them sometimes, especially in Northland already on

80
00:03:58,413 --> 00:04:02,853
Speaker 3: year one and year two. Yeah so, and that is

81
00:04:02,973 --> 00:04:08,173
Speaker 3: as a result of warmth, warmth, sun, beautiful Northland, Auckland

82
00:04:08,253 --> 00:04:11,693
Speaker 3: coastal hawks Bay, et cetera. Two or three years. And

83
00:04:11,733 --> 00:04:14,893
Speaker 3: there you are now in summers in summer the right

84
00:04:14,933 --> 00:04:16,893
Speaker 3: now the flowers are starting to fade, of course, and

85
00:04:17,413 --> 00:04:19,533
Speaker 3: it's starting to look a bit orange if you like

86
00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:24,453
Speaker 3: and the pollinating insects will have done their job. Every year,

87
00:04:24,613 --> 00:04:28,773
Speaker 3: it'll get more like pruning. It's the best time after harvest.

88
00:04:29,293 --> 00:04:33,933
Speaker 3: And basically you can find all the recipes on the website.

89
00:04:34,013 --> 00:04:38,333
Speaker 2: Yeah too, right, thank you, Yeah, Okay, I'll make sure

90
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:41,053
Speaker 2: I give it a bit of citrus fertilizer as well

91
00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:43,733
Speaker 2: bit of MPK just to get it through. But don't worry.

92
00:04:43,733 --> 00:04:45,733
Speaker 2: I'm going to be every single week, but Rod, I'm

93
00:04:45,733 --> 00:04:47,253
Speaker 2: going to be recording back to you and letting you

94
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:49,973
Speaker 2: know how it's going. And the thing that's crazyest for

95
00:04:50,013 --> 00:04:52,733
Speaker 2: me is that it survived being moved, so that it's

96
00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:55,773
Speaker 2: being moved and has thrived. Jack just gone back from
