We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New to Carterton, been here a month and love it people are so much more friendly than the city where we came from. In need of a good hairdresser not too expensive. Any recommendations.
So, in November 2019 we bought the most expensive washing line we could find, one suitable for the highest of wind conditions.
We've never installed it and it's time it actually got used!
It's in perfect condition having been wrapped up in plastic and cardboard all these years.

This SwiftDry Coastline T Bar clothesline cost us $900, and they are still sold for the same price. Yours for $300.

These will need to be picked up from our home just outside Martinborough - far too heavy to ship!

This red leafed Canna lily needs to stretch its legs. Cannas love the damp situations in the garden but still grow in the dry though not as lush.
Im think this one has orange flowers.
They grow about one and half metres fall in ideal conditions,
Thanks for looking
Pickup is in Kuripuni
Hostas prefer it damp but once established can be quite drought tolerant They do prefer the shade rather than harsh direct sun.
They come up reliably after dying down for the winter rest period and produce pink or white flower fronds in December.
Very easy to grow and do well in pots too.
