Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.
He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."
If you are thinking of signing up for an apprenticeship, get in touch with us here
From today we will be available by phone via our 0800 number - 0800 367 222, between 10 am and 3 pm . This phone line is being manned by volunteers from Christchurch and all over New Zealand - we are here to help you - just a phone call, chat or email away.

Hundreds are queueing for Covid-19 tests in Christchurch, while grocery shoppers are heeding pleas to not panic buy as the country enters the first day of a nationwide lockdown.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the shift to alert level 4 for at least three days for the entire country after a 58-year-old Auckland man contracted Covid-19 from an unknown source.
On Wednesday, a long line of cars ran down the length of Orchard Rd near Christchurch Airport as people waited to access a Covid-19 testing centre – some as long as three hours. There were similar scenes at a centre on Pages Rd.
As panic buying set in after the 6pm announcement, some supermarkets were running out of toilet paper and flour. A number of photos had been shared on social media showing empty shelves and long queues.

LISTEN UP!
We are a community club, that survives on fresh air the smell of an oily rag, and volunteers.
We have nothing you need or want except Pat Smith!
Our club was broken into today by some foolish opportunists.
AT L4 you clowns if you aren’t working as an essential worker, you should be at home mastering the art of baking, or making homemade KFC, mowing your lawns, weeding your gardens or spring cleaning the inside of your Home!
So we are in Level 4 for 4 more days before another update.
Hope you are all doing well. We have been here before and we can do this. If anyone is having a tough time feel free to call me on 0278740654. I am happy to listen and help where I can.

This is a time when we can do those things that we don't have time for normally. It's good that we can go for a walk and the weather report is good for the weekend.
Supermarkets are busy and in my opinion best avoided if possible. If you do go please think of others. Please don't get angry at supermarket staff if the stock does run out it's Not their fault if some people panic shop and take it all. We are told stock won't run out if we all only take what is needed just like in a normal shopping trip
Please keep the 2-metre distance if you do and don't forget to mask up
All of New Zealand will move to alert level 4 at 11.59pm after a new community Covid-19 case emerged in Auckland.

New Zealand will initially spend three days at alert level 4, except for Auckland and the Coromandel, which will remain at level 4 for seven days at this stage.
What are the rules at alert level 4?
Staying at home
People are asked to stay at home, unless they are undertaking essential travel to the supermarket or dairy, seeking necessary medical care or being tested for Covid-19, or to get physical exercise in their neighbourhood.
Unnecessary trips outdoors have spread the variant overseas, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
She advised people to wear a mask when leaving the house, and stay 2 metres away from others. “Stay local, do not congregate. Don't talk to your neighbours.”
Schools, workplaces and business
Businesses will be closed, except for essential services such as supermarkets, pharmacies, health clinics, petrol stations and lifeline utilities.
Only essential workers are permitted to go to work, others must work from home.
Schools and universities will shut down, and travel is severely limited.
Events and recreation
All gatherings are cancelled at alert level 4.
All public venues, including libraries, pools, leisure centres, gyms, early childcare centres, community venues and playgrounds are closed. Some public toilets will remain open.
Many large events have been canned.
Staying in your bubble
Once you go into a bubble you must stay in it, Ardern said.
If you are completely isolated, or you live alone, you can join a bubble with one other person.
Households are advised to nominate just one person to go shopping, and “always act like you have Covid-19”.
Travelling home
There is a grace period of 48 hours for people who are away from home to return home, if they cannot shelter safely in place. After this time, movement between regions will be restricted.
Covid-19 jabs
Covid-19 vaccinations will be suspended for 48 hours to ensure they can be carried out safely.

There are 11 new cases of Covid-19 on Friday, bringing the cluster to 31.
Eight of the cases are in Auckland and three are in Wellington.
Meanwhile in Christchurch, hundreds have queued for Covid-19 vaccines and tests, while the city centre remains eerily quiet (as it should during lockdown).
Visual journalist Stacy Squires took some photos of the city in a way it's not normally seen.
