Can anyone tell me why my hardy kiwi is dying?


I planted this “49er” female Hardy kiwi about a month ago after it came in the mail from the nursery. It took a couple weeks for it to put on new growth but it had these big beautiful green leaves that looked amazing just a couple days ago, and now they are wilted and rotten looking. We’ve had just a touch of cold weather (32°F) but these are Hardy kiwi after all. The ground seems not too waterlogged and not too dry. Any suggestions or explanations?

‘Endearing and fascinating’ yellow-bellied glider faces ‘inexorable slide’ into extinction

Guardian Australia is highlighting the plight of our endangered native species during an election campaign that is ignoring broken environment laws and rapidly declining ecosystems

Australia’s most skilled aerial mammal, the yellow-bellied glider, is on an “inexorable slide” to extinction as global heating creates more extreme bushfires that are robbing the species of the food and tree hollows it relies on to survive.

Thanks to large parachutes of skin stretching from their wrists to their ankles, yellow-bellied gliders can travel up to 140 metres in a single jump, the furthest of any Australian mammal, including the larger and better known endangered greater glider.

Helpful Book Recommendation for Homesteaders: Home Doctor – Natural Healing with Herbs, Condiments and Spices


I wanted to share a book that’s been super helpful on our homestead: Home Doctor by P.S. Phadke. It’s a printed, compact guide filled with over 200 natural remedies using herbs, spices, and other ingredients many of us already have at home.

What I like about it: • Clear instructions for preparation and application • Perfect for self-reliant living and those who prefer simple, natural treatments • Easy to understand, practical, no fluff

Especially useful if you live far from medical services or just want to handle minor issues on your own. Anyone else using this or similar books?
