New World extortionate pricing
Just a few days ago I purchased beautiful, large, Australian Mangoes from Growers Direct Church Corner Riccarton for $5.50 each. I always keep an eye out for them at this time of the year having grown up with them for many years when living in Australia. Today (4/10)when in New World Fendalton they have them, packed in singles on plastic trays and covered with cling wrap at $9.99 each. Who is ripping us off here if a small, privately owned vege shop can sell for $5.50 each. And...to think they need all that excess packaging. When expressing my outrage to the Duty Manager about the price, the response was "thank you for your opinion" and he turned and walked away. Honestly, they don't deserve the custom they get.

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!
