Hello From New Zealand.

We don't have many people coming from Aotearoa. W/being in the north of the North Island, are you able to garden year round?

Hi Denim Deb... Yes, where we live up North allows us to garden all year round. We also have a small greenhouse that allows me to grow certain things through winter.

I've always been fascinated by NZ. It's one of the few places outside of the US I'd like to visit. I've read stories about sheep stations that have (or had) access by boat and/or air only and have wondered what it would be like to live on one.

The South Island has some very remote & large sheep stations.

My BIL lived in New Zealand for about 5 years, on the South island I believe. He told my DH he loved the country, people, climate, everything down there and would love to move back there. He is English and back living in England now.

The South Island has some beautiful scenery.
We thought about moving down to the South Island but DH doesn't like the snowy cold winters.
Where we are up the far North is a bit more tropical but we live in a valley & it still gets quite cold here. Lots of rain.
