HELP WANTED.

Derek and Maureen from Redwood

A few weeks ago this very unusual plant popped up in our garden.
Can anyone help by letting us know what it might be.
We did have a flower there previously so it could be something to do with that.
Thanks in advance.

Please excuse the posting as the pics were lifted straight off Facebook so some sentences aren't complete. As per the pictures:- car was stolen within the last 12 hours. Someone may recognize one or all of these...........people. Note the tattoo on the arm. I know the owner's brother and it is his pride and joy and he is gutted. Have you noticed anyone in your street bring a car home similar to this in the last 12 hours? In the next couple of days, will you see in your street, a car under a cover on a car trailer? If you have even an inkling that you know who they are, please contact the police. If you know how to transfer this story and pics to Facebook, please do so.

Pensioners turn to plant-based diets as food prices soar

From reporter Jody O'Callaghan:
---------------------
Older Kiwis are going without meat and their usual staple foods and instead turning to plant-based alternatives as food prices soar in their highest annual increase in a decade.

Food prices have spiked to a 6 per cent increase year-on-year, according to Stats NZ, with the largest monthly increase in five years of 2.7 per cent in January.

Canterbury’s foodbank supplier is unable to meet the full demand of agencies feeding those on the breadline, and community workers are concerned about the older population who are less likely to seek help.

Staple foods like dairy and meat have become out of reach for many, and older shoppers are being taught to branch out to new alternatives like legumes.

Karen Ogg teaches older Linwood residents how to shop, budget and cook. Her tips for them include:
- Shop seasonally
- Look for the cheaper brands on the bottom shelf
- Eat a more plant-based diet, using cheaper and healthier protein options like legumes, with plenty of meat-free meals
- Buy cheaper meat in bulk and separate into portions for the freezer
- Buy canned fruit when fresh prices are too high
- Add lentils and beans to a meal to stretch it into more portions
- Soups full of vegetables left in the fridge are a good healthy and filling option.

Do you have any tips for reducing your grocery bill? Read the full story by Jody here and share your thoughts in the comments below.

This year's award-winning Wasp Wipeout campaign is now underway and once again we're appealing to anyone who wishes to get involved with the campaign by volunteering their time to help lay bait in wasp-ravaged areas.

If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.

Find out more about this destructive pest by reading through our new interactive feature on Stuff which explores the tools we have in the fight to rid wasps from New Zealand for good.
