scarlet runner beans

Trish from Rangiora

I've pulled some out because I want to move where I grow them. These have probably been in for a few years but look at the monsters. Lots of … View moreHi there. I just wondered if anyone is interested in how those scarlet runner beans develop under the ground if you leave them to spring up each year. I've pulled some out because I want to move where I grow them. These have probably been in for a few years but look at the monsters. Lots of them have bigger roots than this - like a parsnip!

A Puerto Rican couple who "adopted" a Kaikōura grandma during lockdown have sparked a movement to help more of the town's elderly residents.

Efrain Vega de Varona and Ingrid Marie Rivera, who normally reside in Los Angeles, had the "immense pleasure" of getting stuck in Kaikōura as the global coronavirus pandemic hit, and decided to volunteer in the community.

Each week during the lockdown, they called 91-year-old Nat for her shopping list and delivered the items to her door.

Hey people, do you realize these poor little animals suffer horrible deaths especially now its getting so cold at night. Couldn't you possibly take them to Cats Protection League??? We try to catch those that are past hope and feed, the tame ones till we can get them to a vet. We breed pedigree cats and again have to deal the problem of these poor sick unwanted kittens spreading viruses to our cats. We wonder what goes on in the heads of people who either wont desex their house moggies or cant be bothered correctly disposing of resultant kittens. Shame on you.!!
