Poll: Would you spend a weekend in the garden to grow a season's worth of veges?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Gardener Lynda Hallinan couldn't quite believe it when she found out her grandfather used to spend one day in the garden every September, to produce enough veges to feed his family of eight for the summer. So she put his method to the test.

Auckland is one big long-drop

This is absolutely DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

No rivers, no beaches and no swimming pools are safe to swim now!!
How can we trust them to say our drinking and bathing ater is safe?

This is absolutely DISGRACEFUL!!!!!
How can we have such a warm summer with nowhere to swim?
No rivers, no beaches and no swimming pools are safe to swim now!!
How can we trust them to say our drinking and bathing ater is safe?
WTH!!!!! This is absolutely NOT the country I grew up in.
Sure as heck, this is not the city I want my children or grandchildren for generations to come to grow up in now.
And ... it's only getting worse.
I grew up with the clean fresh waters to swim, we were spoilt for choice.
With so much corruption, so many lazy sectors not only in the council but in our very own Government as well, well up to the last election that is, it doesn't look like it going to be fixed anytime soon :(
Maybe all the ratepayers should be asking for a refund for the water bills or stop paying them as a protest. Maybe this will wake up the council & Government to act.
There goes our clean green label that, I for one, was so proud to say about my country.
This has to be an example of what Donald Trump (gag) calls a “shithole” country!! ('scuse my language here but it was the orange man's quote)
