A Gardening Week-end
The three successive days of fine warm weather at the Labour Day week-end attracted thousands of Christchurch people to their gardens, in what is the busiest planting time of the year. Hundreds more busied themselves with painting jobs around the house.
In the garden, apart from trimming lawns and weeding, work included sowing seeds of frost-tender plants.
Some gardeners took advantage of the favourable weather to plant their main crop of potatoes. The home painters found the even weather—not too hot and not too cold—to their liking for the round-the-home painting job.
