Product focus: BUTTERNUT

We are in full production with Butternuts at the moment.

Butternut squash is a nutritious and delicious fruit that takes approximately 15 weeks from sowing seeds to production.

They start off green and then slowly turn peachy-orange during the course of the growing season. This picture shows the fruit mid conversion from green to peachy.

Rich in nutrients, and a great support for both immune system and healthy digestions the butternut is a prime natural colds and flus fighter.

So go out and buy some of our delicious butternuts at your nearest Pick n Pay , Foodlovers Market or Checkers and stay ahead of those nasty colds!

NATURESMART | INNOVATION

So you think a red tomato just comes
from a tomato plant, but in actual fact,
the tomato plant needs serious
nurturing from its soil to produce the
perfect, juicy tomato.

The soil preparation step in tomato
farming is critical, and it is the primary
source of good root development.

Here are some great tips for better root
development:
🍅Watering: Watering deeply but less
often encourages the tomato
plant's roots to grow deeper into
the soil in search of water. This
helps the plant become more
resilient during periods of drought
and stress. Watering the soil around
the tomato plant rather than
directly on the leaves is also
essential to prevent disease and
fungal growth.

🍅Overwatering: as much as watering
is number 1, it is important not to
overwater as this can choke the
roots and drown them. Be sure to
have good drainage and extra
compost before planting to ensure
the plant doesn’t have to fight for
survival against drowning.

🍅Soil preparation: soil preparation is
step one in any fresh produce
process. This is no different for
tomatoes. In fact, tomatoes are
even pickier – they prefer their bed
to be slightly elevated. Well-
prepared soil and slightly elevated
plants are a critical step to happy
tomatoes.

🍅Pruning and deflowering: last step
to focusing on good roots is to pluck
off the first flowers of the plant and prune the early suckers for the plant to focus solely on getting the
roots down, healthy and stable.

Here's to another season of happy
healthy, delicious tomatoes
