Does very well in pots, maybe even better than in the ground. Happy enough in the ground though. Does need a bit of protection from frosts like most Geraniums.
One rhubarb plant potted in large pot.
Coming away for the spring growth after winter dormancy.
Can be moved into the ground out of its pot.
Easy to grow. Comes up year after year.
When cooking the stalks, bring them to the boil then empty the water off, and recook with some sugar to taste. … View moreOne rhubarb plant potted in large pot.

He's for sale because we've used him 2yrs and we're introducing new blood and need to make room. He's a blue pattern but heterozygous for both moorit and spotting, which means he can produce brown and spotted lambs. All of his lambs with us have been twins. He's entirely non-aggressive, kept in working farm conditions not as a pet, good ram with ewes or hoggets. Not gonna lie he smells pretty rank, but the ladies seem to like it. :)
If you're looking to add some colour to your fleeces with an easy keeping ram that produces saleable lambs, he's a good choice. Pictures show him in about 5 months' wool, and some of the colours he's produced for us this year.

It has been held on the fourth Monday of every October since 1910. National Leader Judith Collins, however, has suggested that if we want Matarki as a public holiday, we should get rid of an existing holiday like Labour Day.
That is something the Labour Party is unlikely to agree with but what do you think?

Stuff reported on Thursday that 75-year-old retired engineer Justin Gregory was facing the loss of his house due to unpaid rates.
His home was one of two advertised as up for sale after Napier City Council gained High Court orders under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002.
Another homeowner, Sharon McCleary, was also facing the loss of her home.
By mid afternoon, relatives of McCleary and Gregory, had contacted the council.
A council spokeswoman said “we are pleased that family members of both Mr Gregory and Ms McCleary have been in contact with council, and we are hopeful that a good outcome can be reached for everyone involved.”

In September 1974, Bill Sutch was arrested and charged under the Official Secrets Act 1951, after a series of clandestine meetings with KGB agent Dimitri Rasgovorov, an official at the Soviet Union's embassy, in Wellington.
He was subsequently acquitted but documents later found in the KGB archive suggested he was a Soviet agent.
His son-in-law, Keith Ovenden, has now written a book, Bill & Shirley: A Memoir, looking at the life of Sutch and his wife Shirley Smith. Smith was a prominent lawyer and the first woman in New Zealand to be a full member of a university law faculty.
