Thames Market this Saturday will be going until 1pm
A huge market awaits visitors this Saturday with much nicer weather than last Saturday (you probably don't have to rug up like Mike's dogs). All our food stalls are back plus a new one - Al and his real fruit ice cream bus! We'll also have smoked mussels, persimmon, Mrs Greenjeans Seedlings last stall before the winter break, succulents, soaps, jewellery and bone carvings, arts and crafts galore. You'll certainly find a little present for HM 😊. And if your shoulders get sore from lugging all those purchases, Peter Bacchus' soft touch sees you right.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
