So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.
You can help to reduce the amount of flooding by giving the drains in your street or on your property a sweep every now and then.
Easter weekend is looking a bit wet, so while you’re at home during this lockdown, why not get out and clear leaves and rubbish from on and around stormwater sumps?

"Kaibosh is still operating during 'lock down' as it is deemed an essential service, which it certainly is. During these times the vulnerable are needing help more than ever. The Kaibosh IBPC team are continuing to collect and distribute food to the community flats of Granville and Rintoul.
We have had many residents passing on their heartfelt thanks for what we are doing and many who are relying on Kaibosh to see them through the week. It is therefore a privilege and a blessing that we are able to continue. There are, however, some stricter rules applying at this time. No one can enter Kaibosh premises; Martin and his team are working very, very hard sorting all the food themselves and boxing into community groupings. We meet them at the door and they bring the pre-prepared boxes to us. Once at the community rooms we then need to sort the contents into 23 individual boxes and bags for Rintoul, for example, each according to family size. Of course, we wipe all surfaces with bleach first and wash our hands often. We wouldn’t help if we were sick, either.
Once the food is sorted we then hand deliver each box to each resident’s front door! (Normally there would be a central collection point) This whole process can take up to 3 hours, whereas before it was under an hour.
So I count Kaibosh as my gym class for the day! Wonderfully, the food is still coming through: yesterday we had to distribute an apple box full of plums, another big box full of grated cheese (which we had to put in individual bags), instant noodles, lots of bread and sweet bread treats, potatoes, a big bag of rice, lots of other fruit, bottles of milk, a box of scorched almonds and a few big tubs of cream cheese!"We've also heard that the Kaibosh depot are not able to have their usual large band of regular volunteers to do the initial food sorting, so Martin and his reduced crew are doing an amazing job adapting to the lock-down requirements.

Pet Direct are the new kids on the pet block and know the industry inside-out; they have over 350 dog years of animal experience within their team. Most importantly right now, they're still delivering all your essential items during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Pet Direct team do things differently; firstly they ALL have pets of their own. They also personally hand-pick every product they stock; they have over 5,000 items that have been tried and tested (but mostly eaten). They ship daily, from their Auckland-based warehouse, straight to your doorstep (with free delivery over $29), and offer a best price guarantee.
Neighbours - our pets remain a constant source of love and comfort during unsettling times. So show them (and the team at Pet Direct) how special they are. To say thanks for the support (and for being a good neighbour during this tough time), they're offering you 10% off their already awesome prices. Just use the code NEIGHBOURLY10 at checkout.

Our April issue should be with our subscribers now and available in supermarkets and service stations (having been distributed prior to the lockdown restrictions). Whether or not it's on the stands yet is a bit patchy ... but then the incredibly brave and hard-working supermarket staff have quite a bit on their plate right now so I understand if there is a delay! Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).
In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.
We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.
Really Karori? A trip to the local dairy for milk just now was soured by realising how many people in the queue were only there for iceblocks! Do the phrases "lockdown" and "essential shopping only" not count when it's iceblocks on a sunny Sunday? We are better than this.

I work at the hospital and was told this was the case but encountered an unpleasant situation with a fellow shopper. My husband has a condition so he’s unable to do the shopping without risk to his health so it’s up to me to manage the shopping at some point in my week. After a long busy shift the last thing essential workers want is to spend another hour or so at the supermarket. I know everyone is having issues but please be kind. I as a health worker don’t feel entitled but at this time work is more stressful so this gesture by the supermarkets does help. We really appreciate your understanding. Thank you www.sunlive.co.nz...
