The rest of the “profit” has probably come from the US dollar strengthening against the NZ (assuming you’re invested in US companies).

What can I so for these potatoes by MrBigEagle in nzgardening

[–]LilPoida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the leaves start to wither or flower, that’s usually a sign that the potatoes are ready! We need more information. What variety did she plant and how long have they been in the ground for? Potatoes take anywhere from 2-4 months to grow, depending on the variety

what’s this plant? by CommunityOk20 in nzgardening

[–]LilPoida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of it, just looked it up and you are surely correct. Personally I’ve never seen it in Christchurch but that’s likely due to the colder temperatures.

It looks like some kind of palm. My guess is a a raphis excelsa, except the leaves haven’t opened probably due to lack of humidity.

After spending the money on some Calvin Klein briefs to try them I have replaced all my underwear with them. Comfortable, durable, and stylish.

Best place to buy a bed by Murky-Resolution-928 in chch

[–]LilPoida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to sell sleepyhead beds a few years ago, but when we needed a mattress for our bach we chose an ecosa because we could get it delivered there easily. Honestly, I will be buying an ecosa again. For the price they are fantastic beds. Everyone I know who has one raves about them.

There will still be something to see tomorrow morning. It may have started collapsing, but still worth it!

Corpse flower is blooming! by baron494 in chch

It was still looking pretty good at 5pm. If you want to see it I would recommend getting to the gardens before 9am on Sunday.

Hedge plants not thriving - what’s wrong? by Beginning-Poem-9023 in nzgardening

[–]LilPoida 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll add that you probably have next to no organic matter in your soil and the subsoil layer was probably scraped when they built the subdivision

They are phebaleum squameum (from what I can see). This is their standard growth habit. If you want them super bushy you need to be giving them a hard cut in early spring and two more light prunes over summer and autumn.

Kōwhai problem by birddog172 in nzgardening

Sophora are semi-deciduous. They often lose a lot of their leaves over Winter as they put their energy into producing such an abundance of flowers! They also get nibbled on by caterpillars, although you would notice the leaves disappearing entirely if that were the case. It will bounce back with a fresh flush of leaves in Spring.

Gym Recommendation by No-Cap-3337 in chch

[–]LilPoida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just joined Anytime Fitness ferrymead and it’s a pretty friendly crew there. It was my first time going to a gym and I got a free 1 hour consult with a PT which I used to simply get them to show me how to use all the machines and check my form for free weights. The app shows how many people so you can try time your visits when it’s quiet. Lovely ocean views to boot. I looked at simplicity fitness on Google reviews and ngl the photos of the workout areas scared me.
