It’s 1pm Boxing Day in Birchville and the rain started at 4am this morning. My New Years wish is simple. We should arrange with the council that rain should only fall between 1am and 3am every night. This would ensure we don’t have to water our gardens every morning and waste our precious water supplies. That should keep the council happy not having to allocate water from their limited resources. It would also mean a reliable vegetable growth and the economics of eating greens much more sensible. Have a good New Year!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
