Fresh Vegetable Beans available everyday - Qiubo Su

On the morning of 24th Dec, I myself harvested about 8 kgs of beans (I washed and cooked them all with the steam boat method, and this is the good way to consume the beans quickly), and then took a video and a lot of photos afterwards. However, from the video and photos, the amount of the remaining beans on the plants still looked very similar to what it was before my customer came to pay and buy on the afternoon of 23rd Dec. Why? As the beans on the plants were just too much, when the customer came on 23rd Dec, I only harvested the beans at the middle and upper positions of the plants, but the amount was just a little bit 3 kgs. When I harvested about 8 kgs at the morning of 24th Dec, I only harvested the beans at the bottom position of the plants, and a lot of the beans touched the soil. However the video and photos I took were only towards the middle and upper positions of the plants, not towards the bottom position, as the visual result of the video and photos wasn't good for the bottom position of the bean plants. All in all, after harvesting nearly 11 kgs of beans in these two days, the amount of the beans on the plants still looks very similar to what it was before the harvesting. Attached the video and a lot of the photos here taken after I harvested the beans at the morning of 24th Dec. Have a great & safe Xmas & New Year !)

(update at 23/12 before 2024 Xmas Eve - this early morning I took a video around my garden again and uploaded it to the TRACEBoard NZ website for an update. When I walked around my garden, a few IP security cameras I installed at the outside were triggered and made loud alarms. They have been working very well, no matter how bad the weather condition is, well looking after and protecting my property area from intrusion of the neighbours around my property and the other people conspiring with them)

Home garden grown fresh vegetables beans $15/kg (negotiable).

(as shown in the photos, harvested many kgs at early Dec and made a lot pickles being stored inside the fridge)

Available for a couple of kgs everyday. Anyone interested with some, please contact and book with me beforehand, so I can harvest and get it ready just before your arrival.

A video uploaded to www.traceboard.co.nz..., showing the status of the growing vegetables.

Police are asking for the public’s help for information into a heartless act which has ruined an Ōtara preschool.

Sometime between 9am on 7 December and 6pm on 8 December, Ōtara Community Preschool was broken into and windows and property smashed and items stolen.
Counties Manukau East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rakana Cook, says nine internal windows were smashed, along with a microwave and oven and computers being knocked to the ground.
“This type of behaviour is quite frankly disgusting.
“This is an awful situation, a preschool has been left footing the bill for this crime and children are now without their belongings and educational resources.”

Inspector Cook says the offenders acted in a mindless way, destroying property seemingly for the sake of it.
“We are working hard to identify and locate those responsible for this senseless crime.
“We are now asking for the public’s assistance for any information which may help us to hold this person, or people, to account.
“A number of people have come forward with information and spoken to Police since this incident, and we ask anyone who has not yet spoken to us to get in touch.”

Information can be provided by updating Police online now or by calling 105.

Please reference the file number 241208/6023.

Alternatively, you can report information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Hundreds of Kiwi children will receive something special this Christmas thanks to Ryman Healthcare’s support of the Catalytic Foundation’s Christmas Shoebox Project.

Instead of giving individual gifts to residents, the idea was to redirect those funds to support struggling New Zealand families having to cut back on essentials.

Ryman residents were overwhelmingly in support of the idea, with many volunteering to help choose the gifts to fill over 1000 shoeboxes with thoughtful items.
