  1. ... and taking a moment to just sit in a chair in the sun for a moment before heading home. I did a quick survey of the flowers. Always got to remember to stop and look at the flowers. These "black" hollyhocks have been giving a little joy for *months* now. They just keep on going. Uploading flowers is an excuse to sit in the sun a little longer. #bloomscrolling #alloment #gyo
  2. ANYWAY… all my angst & uncertainty aside… we are managing an #allotment harvest all the same. Many things are not well cared for, but a lot is growing (and going to waste) despite that — we make use of what we can.

    About 3 hours down here today (and all that has happened is watering & harvest, no time on tending & maintenance.)

    It is a nice day. I wish I was better able to enjoy it, but instead I fret about the state of it, about the things I cannot do, about the things I need to go home and do, and the rapid drawing in of the weekend. I want to do too many things in too little time.

    We have tomatoes. There is sunshine. I am outdoors. Trying to find some solace if not quite celebration.

    Do you see what I see?! 🤩 The bell pepper is blooming! ❤️
    (No idea which variety. I put a few seeds in soil, when I eat a veggie from the supermarket :) Windowsill-kitchen-scraps-garden =D)

  8. #NewZealand #Aotearoa - #CommunityPantry Locations

    "Finding community pantries near me is becoming a priority for many New Zealand families navigating the rising cost of living and seeking to reduce food waste through community-led sharing initiatives. These #PātakaKai (food storehouses) operate on the principle of ‘take what you need, leave what you can,’ providing a vital safety net that fosters #manaakitanga (hospitality and care) within our diverse neighborhoods from Northland to Southland.

    The concept of the community pantry has evolved rapidly in Aotearoa. What started as a few informal ‘#SharingSheds’ has grown into a sophisticated national network of Pātaka Kai.

    In the current economic climate, #FoodInsecurity affects a broad demographic of New Zealanders. These pantries provide immediate, #BarrierFreeAccess to nutrition without the stigma often associated with traditional #WelfareQueues.

    Moreover, these locations are hubs for #sustainability. By redirecting surplus #garden produce and supermarket ‘best-before’ items, they play a critical role in the #CircularEconomy of our local regions.

    'The Pātaka Kai movement is more than just food; it is about restoring dignity to our communities and ensuring that no one goes hungry while our land produces so much abundance.' — Community Leader, NZ #FoodSovereignty Project.

    - Reduces local #FoodWaste significantly.
    - Strengthens neighborhood social ties.
    - Provides 24/7 access to emergency food supplies.
    - Encourages the sharing of home-grown organic produce."
