We are often asked "is this a weed?", so we are planning a weed identification guide for our website. What plant in your garden is giving you trouble? Are you wondering if it is a weed? We would love to see photos of your problem plants.

The best definition of a weed is that it is a plant in the wrong place. Any plant may be desired and manageable in one situation, (perhaps on the other side of the world:) and a problem in another situation.
Nevertheless, it is sometimes useful to know that a plant is known to be a problem elsewhere. If it is giving you unwanted work, you may not be the only one reconsidering its place in your garden.
In addition to the better-known weeds such as wild ginger, Tradescantia, pink jasmine, Japanese honeysuckle, privets and many others, recently in our clients' gardens we have learned of a few more plant species causing significant loss of space and damage to wanted plants in some local gardens.
One was Tecomaria capensis/Tecoma (aka Cape Honeysuckle, a common hedge plant with hidden runners, which if uncontrolled spreads new plants and also grows as a vine).
Another was Thunbergia vine. One of many different plant species around the world known as Black-eyed Susan, this one is a rampaging vine.
Below: Photos of a Tecomaria hedge on a street berm, where it is controlled by pruning. Any new plants shooting up in the grass would be mown down.

In the hustle and bustle of life, we often forget to take a moment for ourselves, to simply rest and recharge. So, let this day be a gentle reminder to slow down and prioritize your own peace of mind.
So, whether you choose to bask in the sun's warm embrace, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, or simply relish the beauty of a moment suspended in time, remember that relaxation is a gift you deserve to give yourself.
Wishing you a day filled with serenity, calmness, and a profound sense of wellbeing. Happy Relaxation Day! ???

6 months only in use by one person lying on one of the two mattresses alternately, never in the middle. Great for reading in bed and for zero gravity sleep.
AdjustaMattress has won Australia’s good design award for medical and scientific device as Class 2 Bed Safe. Better than what I’ve seen of the NZ adjusta beds.
This is a Queen split massage bed with two memory foam mattresses. Adjustments are for separate head and foot elevation controlled by remote. Two remotes, one for each mattress, include 2 ‘favourite’ adjustment settings, variety of massage areas and intensities.
The separate mattress control feature is not common on NZ’s Queen size adjusta beds.
Can control both sides together with one remote (having attached a dual cord
between the two mechanisms).
The memory foam in 3 layers has more air pockets than other memory foams in NZ – featured in the firm base layer, therefore more wicking of moisture for good health. The middle layer provides support and the top layer is softer, and designed for cooling. The organic cotton cover is hypo-allergenic and dust mite resistant.
Does not have a headboard. Floor clearance is adjustable to 5 different heights with 8 legs, I had storage drawer underneath of 25cm high. Can be lower.
Intensity massage levels for 10, 20 or 30 minutes. Can isolate massage areas, including separate foot, back and head areas.
Has a Zero gravity setting = semi Fowler position (based on NASA’s optimal body position for reducing pressure), distributing body weight evenly for best rest and recovery throughout the night. Anti snore button.
Has a night light if required.
Was bought to alleviate sore hips – and succeeded well. But the house is being changed around and this bed room requires more space so the queen bed must go to someone lucky. New price is $9200, will sell for $6200.
User's manual instructs in detail with pictures, how to assemble and remote functions.
Pick up is in Takapuna. Genuine buyers welcome to lie on bed, try the adjustments and 3 massage settings. Phone 0210526040.
Images apart from the remote are from the owner's manual. My bed for sale is not enclosed at the base - but allows a storage container under the bed. I'll photograph my bed tomorrow.

We live in Forrest Hill and have 12 year old twin girls, one has Spastic Dystonic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. She is in a wheelchair and needs help with transfers and other personal cares. She is a happy girl, always trying to do everything herself and has a great sense of humor. Our other daughter is an energetic girl that loves to play sports.
We are looking for someone to share the role with our current student/carer and do around 12.5 hours a week (half of the 25hours a week role). You would split the shifts on school day mornings, which is from 7-9am where you would help with dressing, feeding, getting her ready for school and some help around the home. Also you would split the afternoon shifts, which are from 3:30pm - 6:30pm doing some physical activities and exercises, read, play, feed, showering and general help.
Please contact me for further information on 021 412 633. Thanks
