Thanks re guava moth and backyard orchards

David from Pakuranga Heights

Hi Neighbours. Re my issue with the dreaded guava moth which lays eggs on all kinds of fruit. You may remember my plea during summer to pick up and destroy windfall fruit. Many thanks to those who did. By breaking the cycle in the early part of the season, it meant less damage in the latter part. … View moreHi Neighbours. Re my issue with the dreaded guava moth which lays eggs on all kinds of fruit. You may remember my plea during summer to pick up and destroy windfall fruit. Many thanks to those who did. By breaking the cycle in the early part of the season, it meant less damage in the latter part. The recent fruit season was the best I've had since the guava moth scourge hit us. I eliminated about 200 guava grubs, drowned in a bucket of water. Late in the season I had about 10% of plums untouched, and about 50% of peaches. Good work. We must fight back. Take care, David H.

We are so happy to be welcoming an incredible new partner to Neighbourly - joining our long-term friends AMI, Resene and Ryman Healthcare.

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 sweet pea seeds send out, April issue and Get Growing

Dear neighbours and NZ Gardener family,

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.

While our doors are closed, you can still experience some of your favourite parts of Tāmaki Paenga Hira with us here online.

We've pulled together amazing stories, activities, videos and puzzles from our channels and archives into one Museum at Home hub, so you and your family can enjoy the Museum experience outside of our four walls.

Watch how volcanoes are made, make an exotic bird case come alive in a puzzle, read about when The Fiji Times was printed on Masi (bark-cloth) or see some never-before-seen photos of Sir Edmund Hillary and his expeditions.

We have included activities for kids, and for the young at heart, as well as long reads and videos for those who want to deep dive into life at the Museum. We'll be adding new things for you to read, watch and interact with regularly, so make sure to check back in.

Hi all,
Hope you're all staying well and safe during the lockdown.
I've been doing origami to pass the time and got an idea to try and raise funds for a charity I support - HELP Auckland.
Help me help them, and have a little fun with this origami crane guessing game: act2help.everydayhero.com...
A lot of non-profit organisations will have their operations affected by the lockdown and I want to do my part to support them.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity :)

The crane is a symbol of hope, happiness and healing. For people who have been hurt by sexual violence, HELP Auckland is there to support them, give them hope and provide a way forward, towards healing and happiness.
During the lockdown, there will be many survivors of sexual abuse who will continue to need HELP Auckland’s support. Their crisis and therapy services help survivors to deal with their trauma and take care of their mental wellbeing.
Be kind and stay safe everyone! We can get through this together.
