Help! The mouse go 'em!
I'm hoping to find seeds for a winter squash or pumpkin called "Sweet Dumpling." Seeds were available through Kings Seeds, but are no longer available. I have saved seeds every year as it is such a sweet miniature pumpkin and versatile. It has the colour of dark green blotches on a white or light green background . . . camouflage colouring. However, this winter a mouse got into my seed cupboard and ate my entire stock. I am willing to pay for seeds and all costs if any keen gardeners have any they can spare. Many thanks.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
