We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.
“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”
It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

A large and ever increasing range of subjects are available, from fishing equipment to musical instruments, coffee making paraphernalia to vintage fire arms, brewing and distilling equipment. Various forms of transportation including aircraft, steam, rail, motorsport and cycling and much much more.
Many of these patents and designs date back over 150 years and include some weird ands wacky ideas, and some brilliant ones too. Some you will recognise but had no idea how they came to be or who invented or designed them.
The black and white patents and designs drawings are resorted by Magnum Images and then various patinas are added to give them one of four main looks; Vintage, Blueprint, Blackboard and Blue or Black ink on white paper. Certain patinas work better on certain images but also suit the environment you wish to put them in. Be it your man cave, kitchen, games room, batch there is bound one that suits.
The final product is then printed to order in-house at Magnum Images on our Epson Photo Printer using archival inks and paper. Sizes in most cases 400x500 or 420x597 (A2), and can be supplied framed or unframed.
Included with patent prints where available are the accompanying documentation describing what the patent is for.
