For people who preserve: Free crab apples (ready soon-ish)
Hi everyone
I have a very prolific crab apple tree in my garden that makes boatloads of jellies etc from the single branch or two that I use. Every year I wince at the waste as the apples from whole rest of the tree fall off and rot. If anyone is keen on some crab apples - let me know. And I can ping you when they are ready to pick (your own). I am suspecting that this year they will run early.
I have a ladder but we could do with a taller one to get to the super high branches. Really easy picking.
I have made crab apple jelly, rosemary jelly, chilli jelly, apple and lavendar jelly. And used the crab apples to supplement plums etc for other jellies.

Shocking anti-Māori propaganda posted in mailboxes
I am a Māori and today I found some shocking anti-Māori propaganda which had been obviously hand delivered into my mailbox. It was a call to action and as the neice of the late Moana Jackson and Syd Jackson, two intelligent and educated Māori leaders I am appalled to think that someone in my Island Bay neighbourhood is helping to spread these hateful messages.
