Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think.

As we are heading into winter, our power plugs are often getting a good workout as they juggle the power supply to heaters, tvs, laptops, hair dryers and the like!

Many older style homes have only one or two power sockets in a room, so it can be tempting to use a power board on each of these power sockets, to ensure more appliances can be used at once. This is fine provided you are not using too many appliances with a high voltage such a brand new TVs and heaters.
We recommend balancing the number of appliances you are using in one socket at a time to avoid overloading. Turn off of unplug the appliances you are not using and only ensure one high voltage appliance is plugged in per plug socket.
If you are finding that you are blowing a fuse or overloading your plug sockets, we do recommend having more power sockets installed in the house.
If you have any questions in regards to managing your household power supply, please contact John McDonald Electrical on 027 333 3768.
