• Turn over garden soil with spade or fork. Break up the clods of earth and rake to produce a fine surface. A loose soil enriched with moderate amounts of organic matter or fertilizer to supply nutrients is best.
• Add any other conditioners such as peat moss, compost or sand etc if not added the previous Autumn.
• Sow seeds thinly in rows or in beds then cover with no more than twice the thickness of the seed with fine soil, tamp firmly down and moisten bed well.
• When seedlings are about 6cm high or have developed their first true leaves (recognizable as those of the sown species) the row should be thinned out to the plant’s required spacing. 

CONTAINER SOWING METHOD

• Seeds can be sown in trays or shallow pots using a sterilised potting mix.
  Fill the container to within 2cm of the rim, then moisten by standing the container in a tray of water until the surface of the mix becomes slightly damp or by watering from above using, at all times, a very fine spray. 

• Then sow the seed. A rule of thumb is to cover seed to a depth of no more thantwice their diameter but in the case of very fine seed, no covering is needed as the seeds, when sown on the surface of the mix, naturally work their way into the soil. If covering is preferred, sieve mix finely over the surface.
• A piece of glass with a few thicknesses of paper on top may be placed over the container to prevent the mix surface from drying out. Turn glass daily so that the dry side is downwards.
• If soil shows signs of drying out, repeat either watering process taking care not to wash any surface soil away.
• Check daily for signs of germination and remove covering as soon as seedlings appear, exposing the tender plants gradually to the full sunlight.
• If growing on a window sill, turn the container every day to maintain an even growth and to keep the seedlings from leaning towards the light.
• When they’re large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into a suitable container approximately 4cm apart. Harden off plants gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
• DO NOT OVERWATER SEEDLINGS!

Mount Eliza Wheta Cheese is like a fresh, young, crumbly Cheshire crossed with a traditional Feta.

They make a limited supply of this special cheese and take fresh to markets when available. 

Try this: toss the Wheta through a salad of roasted pumpkin cubes with rocket leaves, black pepper and olive oil. Garnish with dry pan-roasted pumpkin seeds …. mmmm.

2½ cups self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 onion, finely diced
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil or dill
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp olive oil
1¼ cups milk
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, to sprinkle
100g sliced smoked salmon
½ cup sour cream
Fresh basil leaves, to garnish

1. Heat oven to 200°C. Grease 36 mini-muffin pans. Place the first six ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Add the eggs, oil and milk to the well. Stir to just combine as over-mixing will produce tough muffins.
3. Spoon mixture into muffin pans and sprinkle each with a little parmesan cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
4. Split muffins and fill with a piece of smoked salmon and a little sour cream. Garnish each with a small basil leaf.
