The plant you are burying is growing in the 10cm pot...the last picture with the red/brown background. The large pot is my parent plant. It has survived the winter under the eaves of the house so is not overly frost tender though does need a bit of protection.
Thanks for looking.

So, I can’t sleep properly and I want to know why I’m not able to get a peaceful sleep these days. Read more to find out.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Courthouse on Holloway St, Carterton (next to the Events Centre) on Thursday 26th September at 7:30pm.
This will be a totally relaxed evening, with the intention of getting theatre people together over a drink and a bit of supper. We will have a very amusing script ready, for anyone who might like to take part in a play reading.
A small contribution to supper or something to drink, would be appreciated.
Bring a friend or two, if you wish, everyone is welcome.
We'd love to see you there,

This submission has the backing of the Sparks park trustees and is being done in order for a sub division to be built on adjoining land.
Ultimately the decision will be made by the minister of Conservation and there will be a brief opportunity for the community to make submissions.
Minutes of the meeting have not yet been updated but you can find out more about the submission in the meeting’s agenda here docs.cdc.govt.nz...
As a daily user and as a nearby resident of Sparks Park I do not want the proposed changes to proceed and I will be making a submission to council accordingly.
These changes involve a land swap deal with the developer which ultimately will make Sparks park a bigger park with additional amenities. While that sounds a great deal, I am not convinced bigger is going to make it any better. The old proverb 'beware of strangers bearing gifts' springs to mind.
The subdivision, which will only go ahead if this submission is successful, will fundamentally change the nature of the surrounding area. The park will no longer look out over paddocks filled with grazing stock but instead over a high density urban development. The area around Sparks park is presently a quiet and sleepy corner of Carterton, with bigger sections, trees and animals where the urban environment merges quietly into the traditional New Zealand rural landscape. In my opinion, a high density development in this area is not going to improve anything for Sparks Park users or local residents.
There are probably a multitude of other reasons people can think of for why this is not a good idea. Increased traffic levels, building on a potential flood zone are possible examples.
Something you need to be aware of is that at the council meeting, it was said the proposed sub division, a plan for which has not yet been submitted to council, may not require public consultation.
So, if like me you do not want to see a subdivision like this going ahead in this area, then you need to start the fight now and oppose the Sparks park submission. You may not get another opportunity.
You can make your own submission to council in writing and here are some guidelines to help you do this

Being Kiwi is a project looking at the experiences of life in New Zealand for people of all cultures. It calls for the collection of official statistics on hate crimes, looks at discrimination in our schools and takes a stroll through Auckland, now one of the most diverse cities in the world.

Once the strengthening work is complete, the tower will need to be repainted, providing a unique opportunity to review the identity of our town's icon.
The design options are the status quo (white and grey), a colour scheme that embraces the 1960s architecture of the tower, and a bold and vibrant rainbow colour scheme.
A vote to maintain the current colour scheme would see a revitalisation of the current off-white paint, giving the tower a refreshed, clean look and restoring its image in its present form.
The contemporary colour scheme aims to highlight and celebrate the iconic 1960’s architecture and can dynamically transform by night using low energy coloured LED lighting (funding permitted).
The rainbow paint option aims to create an icon with recognition beyond our district by creating the first rainbow clock tower in the world.
The colour scheme which receives the most votes will determine the final design.
There will only be one vote per ratepaying household in Carterton, with the official voting token included in the September edition of the Carterton Crier.
People will need to take their token to the Events Centre reception and place it in one of the three boxes which corresponds to the design they want to vote for. Voters will also need to fill out their contact details on the token for the purpose of eliminating duplicate votes. Voting will be available from Mon - Fri 9.30am - 5pm and Sat 10am - 4pm from 14th September until 5th October.
