My newest garden(s). =D AND hanging planter. =D
Photo 1: My newest raised (vegetable) garden (galvanised steel, $49 from The Warehouse - it was Westminster, the cheaper of the two brands) - planted with MORE beans and pumpkins, and a rhubarb plant. MADE with five bags of Karyn's compost and four bags of potting mix I just bought from Bunnings for $8 each. =D Plants free or very cheap, as they were grown from seed, and the rhubarb was only $5. =D
Photo 2: Blanche's hanging pot (free), filled with a small amount of potting mix and planted out with petunias (very cheap, at 97 cents each from Bunnings). =D
Photos 3-7: Blue daisies and more (red, striped, and white) petunias (also from Bunnings) in my rose garden, that I topped up with potting mix. =D
Photo 8: My new red dahlia I just bought (also from Bunnings). =D
Photo 9: My new African violet I just bought from Bunnings. =D I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!! =D Hehehe. =D

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
