I made a bit of a mess today. 😃 I made a herb garden too. 😃
Out of volcanic rocks I had lying stacked against the house wall/fence by the back gate. 😃 AND I made a new little potato garden (out of the few rocks I had left over!) between the two existing vege gardens for some of my overcrowded spuds coz I'm getting tiddlers, and although they are very tasty, I'd like some bigger ones too. 😃 AND the neighbours' cat visited me just after I'd finished building the gardens and then cleaning up the mess, so there's a couple photos of her rolling around on the patch of grass I'd just pulled some from to mulch the potatoes with! She must like the smell of freshly cut grass just as much as I do!!!!!!!! 😃 OR she just likes my scent, and looks forward to when the lockdown finishes, so I can pat her again!!!!! 😃 Heheheheheh!!!!!!!! 😃 In the meantime, *ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!* 😃

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
