THE now-defunct medical cannabis company, Leavea (Pty) Ltd, has revived its bid to force the Lesotho Electricity Company #LEC to pay it about M6 billion in damages, alleging the utility’s negligence destroyed its multi-million maloti investment at Thaba-Bosiu.
Leavea has filed a fresh application in the Commercial Court after an earlier bid lodged in the High Court in September last year failed to progress. https://t.co/uIcp71PfFN

The HSV Colorado SportsCat V8 was one of the most exciting Australian performance ute projects that never reached full production.
Based on the Holden Colorado SportsCat, the V8 version was developed by HSV and was reportedly around 70% complete before the closure of Holden brought the project to an end.
Key highlights:
▪️6.2-litre naturally aspirated LT1 V8
▪️339 kW and 617 Nm
▪️10-speed automatic transmission
▪️AP Racing front brakes with 362 mm discs and four-piston calipers
▪️Retuned SupaShock dampers
These nine aromatic herbs have one quality that annuals lack: they settle in, age, and improve with time. Plant once, harvest for years. 🌿
Oregano — a spreading ground-cover herb, highly drought-tolerant once established. Summer flowering attracts bees. Aroma intensifies from the second year onward.
Thyme — a woody sub-shrub, robust against frost, poor soils, and dry summers. The older the clump, the more concentrated the fragrance.
Sage — grey-green downy leaves, soft mauve flowers. Requires well-drained soil and full sun. A well-established clump will hold for ten years or more.
Chives — a clump of fine bulblets that densifies year on year. Returns reliably from the root each spring.
Mint — invasive by nature. Always plant in a buried pot or a clearly defined area, or it will colonise the entire kitchen garden.
Rosemary — a Mediterranean shrub that can exceed 1.5 metres and live for several decades in a sheltered, well-drained position. Fully drought-tolerant once established.
Lavender — purple flowering from June to August, invaluable for pollinators. Full sun and dry soil are essential. An annual trim after flowering significantly extends its life.
French tarragon — the most delicate of the nine. Prefers partial shade and regular watering. Divide every three to four years to keep it vigorous.
Lemon balm — lemon-scented foliage, tolerates partial shade. Returns with vigour each spring for many years. 🌱
One investment of time. Years of harvest.

Many gardeners assume rosemary dies because winter finally became too cold. After all, when a once-healthy rosemary suddenly turns woody, patchy, or lifeless, frost feels like the obvious culprit. Yet in most gardens, especially where winters are relatively manageable, cold is rarely the true cause. More often than not, rosemary declines because of one simple but devastating mistake—pruning into old wood. Once that happens, recovery becomes extremely difficult, and in many cases impossible. 🌿✂️
Rosemary behaves very differently from many common garden plants, and misunderstanding its growth habit often leads to disappointment. Unlike shrubs that can regenerate from hard pruning, rosemary depends heavily on keeping healthy green growth intact. The plant produces fresh shoots only from younger stems where living green tissue remains active. Once stems become brown, woody, and mature, their ability to regenerate virtually disappears.
This is the most important rule rosemary growers need to understand: old wood does not produce new growth. A branch cut too deeply into brown wood is often permanently damaged. No hidden buds emerge later. No fresh stems suddenly appear after patience or fertilizer. That section simply remains bare, leaving awkward gaps that never properly recover. In this way, rosemary behaves much more like lavender than roses or many garden shrubs.
Timing also matters enormously. The main pruning period generally arrives after flowering, usually between April and May in many climates. At this stage, rosemary naturally begins producing fresh growth, making it the safest and most productive moment for shaping the plant. A light but thorough trim encourages bushier growth, better airflow, and a more compact structure.
The best approach is to work gradually across the entire plant, shortening green stems by roughly one third. The goal is not aggressive cutting but shaping. Maintaining a rounded, compact dome encourages even growth and prevents plants from becoming leggy or splitting open as they age. One critical detail matters more than anything else—every cut must leave green growth below it. The moment pruning drops below the green zone and enters woody brown stems, permanent damage becomes likely.
This boundary between green and brown tissue acts almost like an invisible safety line. Above it, the plant can respond with fresh shoots. Below it, regrowth generally stops. Experienced gardeners often inspect rosemary carefully before pruning, ensuring every stem still holds healthy green tissue underneath where cuts will be made.
Spring sometimes brings another concern—winter damage. After particularly harsh weather, rosemary tips may appear grey, blackened, or dried out. Fortunately, frost damage often affects only the outermost few centimeters. During early spring, dead tips can safely be removed to restore the plant’s appearance. However, restraint matters. Removing only visibly damaged growth is usually enough. Many gardeners make the mistake of over-pruning after winter, accidentally cutting too deeply into healthy stems in an attempt to “refresh” the plant.
Autumn pruning requires even more caution. By September, rosemary should only receive very light tidying if necessary. A small trim to maintain shape may help prevent plants becoming untidy before winter arrives, but anything more aggressive risks exposing fresh growth to cold, wet weather. New wounds created too late in the season often struggle to heal properly, leaving the plant vulnerable during winter months.
