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!

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.

Poll: Do you go to live music gigs?
It’s “tough” running dive bars and speakeasies but a growing association is shaking up the New Zealand independent music scene.
These are the places where rising stars cut their teeth, members say, but they’re challenged by noise restrictions, alcohol licensing rules and the need to take on multiple tasks outside booking bands.
Do you go to live music gigs? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
