Poll: Are Kiwis bad drivers?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Each country has its own idiosyncrasies when it comes to driving and New Zealand is no different.
With daily near-misses, people incorrectly indicating at roundabouts and a lack of stopping at stop signs, it begs the question: Are Kiwis actually not that good at driving?

Would anyone be able to supply me with one leg ring for a while Pekin duck. None of the pet shops sell them now and I only want one not ten in a packet.

It is for a duck called Ivor. He is the only surviving ducking out of 22, what with eels, cats and disease taking their toll.
Ivor the survivor, is now nearly as big as his mother.
With four white ducks I will soon be having trouble knowing who is who.

He has an idyllic life swimming and duck diving in my stream, and comes up for a meal when he feels a bit peckish, always with Mum. Bit of a spoilt only child.
Happy to pay and pickup.

Bearded Iris rhizomes...good to plant now....named varieties

Joan from Masterton District

It's been so hot up until now that the thought of getting outside and digging up irises was put off until now.
Plenty of time for the rhizomes to put some roots down and get ready to hunker down for the winter in preparation for the spectacular show in Spring and Summer.

It's been so hot up until now that the thought of getting outside and digging up irises was put off until now.
Plenty of time for the rhizomes to put some roots down and get ready to hunker down for the winter in preparation for the spectacular show in Spring and Summer.
Bearded Irises are easy to grow. Come up year after year with metre high stalks with fist sized blooms. They like at least 5 hours sun a day. Very drought tolerant once established. Don't mind the frosts at all. Plant them with roots in the soil and rhizome on top of the soil so it can sunbathe.

The rhizomes will be fresh dug. $10 each.

Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
$10 for each good sized healthy rhizome.

1. Precision
2. Snowspoons
3. Irwell Ace
4. Autum Prince
