We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.
Dear neighbours,

Kiwirail has decided to move the future Drury West train station in the same lineal direction of the planned railway but almost 500 metres from the main hub of schools, services, businesses and mall center. Additionally the place where they plan to allocate the station will not make it possible for those of us wanting to reduce the use of cars to commute in a safe and secure manner. Looking at the other southern train stations, it looks like a repitition of the same behavior of decisions to allocate train stations far from services, schools or businesses. (An exception to this is Middlemore Hospital, Newmarket and Britomart). If our vision is to reduce our carbon footprint, how can you help prevent the same errors being made in these kinds of decisions? You can read more about this on the following link: www.rnz.co.nz...

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

Countdown Ponsonby had an ad stuck on their inner front door (by the security guard / sanitiser) advertising an apprenticeship in that store. If it has been filled it would pay to remember Countdown as an option - I didn’t realise they offered positions like this.
