NOVEMBER IS A GOOD

time to…

Henri Ham

AWAPUNI NURSERIES

Keep your spring planting up with all your favourite herbs and veges. Plant tomatoes (we have 13 types in stock right now), cucumbers, courgettes, basil, Russian tarragon, radishes and sweet corn. Try secessional planting of your leafy greens like lettuce, rocket and spinach. This means planting a few more every couple weeks to ensure you have a continual supply over summer. Capsicums and chillies are best planted at this time of the year too. Really, all

vege and herbs you see in our online shop right now are perfect for planting. November also produces ideal conditions for the weeds to shoot up now too. Keep on top of them with weekly hoeing. Applying mulch will help keep the weeds down as it prevents the light getting through to them and sprouting. Nourishing your garden with a good general fertiliser a week or two after your seedlings have gone in will help give them the best start. This is best done right after your weeding. Set up climbing frames for your peas, beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. Training plants upwards also means you’ll end up with more room in your garden for herbs and smaller vege to be poked in between things. Any gaps that you’re left with are also good for planting a few spring onions in. Get some netting up over your strawberries and anything else that is

at risk from the birds. The birds will also be looking for aphids, as will wasps. Hose any aphids off with a burst of water and spray your plants with neem or conqueror oil. Planting marigolds around your roses will also help deter the aphids. Now is also the time to plant your sunflowers. Our Russian giants can reach up to 3m so make sure you remember to stake them right from the beginning. Petunias, poppies, cosmos and salvias are also all popular flowers to plant right now. If you’re wanting flowers that are bit further along the growing cycle, the nursery also has a range of established plants. You’ll find flowers such as lupins, lavender, foxglove, and poppies. They’ve all had extra months of growing at the nursery so will instantly give appeal to your garden. Finally, if your grass is looking patchy sow some grass seed to smarten up your lawn.

OPEN HOME

safety

Kevin Lampen-Smith

REA

When selling a property, many people are uncomfortable with the idea of strangers looking through their house when they’re not present. However, holding an open home is often the best way to show off the place to potential buyers. Welcoming house hunters (and let’s be honest, a few nosy neighbours) to a property does come with privacy and security risks that vendors should be aware of – and plan for. “It’s natural for sellers to have concerns about privacy and security – after all, you’re inviting complete

strangers into your family’s home,” Real Estate Authority (REA) Chief Executive Kevin Lampen-Smith said. Lampen-Smith suggests sellers prepare by taking note of any items of sentimental or monetary value that should be removed from the property. “Think about items that could easily be slipped into a pocket or handbag, such as jewellery, silverware, small electronics or even the prescription medication stored in your bathroom cabinet. Tucking them away in your sock drawer or under your bed won’t do the trick,” Lampen-Smith said. Something that’s often overlooked by sellers opening their house to potential buyers is the risk of identity theft. It might sound far-fetched, but sellers who leave important documents like passports, bank statements or credit card receipts lying around are leaving themselves vulnerable. Lampen-Smith recommends these sorts of documents be tidied away and stored somewhere secure.

Next, do a digital sweep of the property. The family PC or office desktop should be switched off and password protected. USB sticks or hard drives that are loaded with personal information should also be stored securely. “While this might sound like plain old commonsense to many, I’ve heard of a seller leaving a post-it note with the house alarm code right next to the alarm, for anyone to come back and deactivate later,” Lampen-Smith recalls. Sellers should talk to their real estate agent or salesperson about how the actual open home will be conducted. “Ask if there will be a sign-in register, where visitors provide their name and contact information when they arrive at the showing. This is a helpful tool for the agent when it comes to following up with potential buyers, and, in the case that something is damaged or stolen during the open home, the information can be passed onto police,” Lampen-Smith said.

The agent is required to be present at the viewing and shouldn’t leave potential buyers alone at the property. Ideally, the agent should accompany visitors as they tour the house, but this isn’t always possible if the showing gets busy. Sellers could ask that a second person from the real estate agency be on-site during the open home, to greet visitors at the door, ask them to sign in and wait until the agent is free to show them through. Sellers who still feel uneasy about having an open home could ask the agent to show the property ‘by appointment only’ to potential buyers. “There’s no law saying you must have an open home. Remember, it’s your house and ultimately you don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with,” Lampen-Smith said.
