International Friendship Day – 30th July
IN LIFE’S GARDEN
Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall;
Count your days by the golden hours,
Don't remember the clouds at all.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Never when life's worries call;
And when your life has reached it’s Autumn
Count the peaks and not the falls.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows,
Count your years with smiles, not tears;
So throughout all your lifetime,
Count your age, by friends, not years.
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.
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?
