Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys. You can also follow the conversation on Spotify and Stitcher. Let your friends know too!

We are puppy proofing our property as she can fit through heaps of gaps through our fence. It’s a bit of a job. My husband built a little run so when we are out she can be in there (not tied up) but she can jump it! Gosh they grow fast. She escaped to the beach this morning and I had to run with my 7 month baby in one arm chasing her. Just managed to get her. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can contain her while we sort the yard. She has kennel but we don’t want to lock her in as she will need the toilet and a little running space

How can Christchurch's central city be revitalised?

Free car parking, rates holidays for owners of new properties and financial incentives for developers should all be considered to ensure central Christchurch flourishes rather than flounders, councillor James Gough believes.

Gough has been tasked by mayor Lianne Dalziel to ensure plans designed to revitalise the heart of Christchurch do not fall flat. He believes ignoring the central city's regeneration and revitalisation means you "might as well write off the next three years".

What do you think needs to be done to regenerate the city centre? Tell us in the comments below.

Lexus LS430 New Zealand New

Looking for a cheap Lexus? Look elsewhere, as this is possibly the best LS430 available. Genuine low mileage. Excellent condition vehicle.

Looking for a cheap Lexus? Look elsewhere, as this is possibly the best LS430 available. Genuine low mileage. Excellent condition vehicle.
I have owned this car for the last 6 years and it has been brilliant. Shouldn’t really be selling it but I couldn’t resist buying a new model Lexus, so this one is available to some lucky person.
V8 offers great power yet amazing economy for its size. I easily get 9L/100km on a trip.

This car travels better than 90% of brand new cars. Exceptionally quiet, smooth yet powerful, luxury on wheels. Great towing car, Lexus tow bar fitted. I have this set up to provide 12 volt power to caravan while towing. (Those are the connections you can see to the left of the normal trailer connector)

All body faults clearly shown in pictures, everything else is near perfect. Only other things to note CD not working (I use my phone for music), main key is worn but offers keyless start and entry, and everything works as it should, key just doesn’t look pretty.

Service records available including Cam belt change.

Original handbook tool kit first aid kit grooming kit all present.

Too many features to list here, so have a look on google to find them all.

This car has blue tooth phone connection (you can see the Bury Bluetooth unit in the centre of the lower consul)

Why buy a rattly unreliable Commodore or Falcon or a Celsior without a history, when you can have a New Zealand new Lexus.

Check the google reviews on this car you will struggle to find a bad one!!

I am happy answering questions via Trade Me or phone.

Inspection will impress any mechanical check is more than welcome.





Personalized plate NOT included.

Price: $7,000

Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.
