Dear neighbours,

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.

Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.

Hey everyone,

Mushroom is a small 4 month old rescue kitten we recently took in, he is brown with stripes on his back with white body and legs.

He has been missing since last night, 19th August.

Mushroom has never been outdoors, he escaped last night he was scheduled to get his shots and chip this weekend but has been delayed due to level 4, which means we are very worried about him.

He should be nearby, he is very timid and hides from anything that's big or loud.

If you've seen him please call 0226750162.

Mushroom came home late last night - we are all so happy and relieved and showering him with food and hugs. Thank you everyone for your help and kind words

Kumquat jam - give it a go! Free fruit.

Steve from Meadowbank

I've just cleared our kumquat tree and have lots of fruit. 3 cups of kumquats go with 6-8 cups of sugar (depending how sweet you want it) and 6 cups of water . This will make about 8 jars of jam. These are really only good for jam, as they are not sweet naturally, but taste beautiful in jam. … View moreI've just cleared our kumquat tree and have lots of fruit. 3 cups of kumquats go with 6-8 cups of sugar (depending how sweet you want it) and 6 cups of water .

Hi Neighbour,

Here we go again. Hope you are looking after those in your bubble and keeping safe.

If you need a bit of distraction from the confines of lockdown, this could be the perfect time to keep learning through what can be pretty tough times.

Right now many will be tuning in online, so why not brush up on skills to learn how to make an impact with your business digitally.

First impressions count. In fact, they say you only have 3 seconds to make a good one. So, slick images are crucial.

Flipping the perfect patty is quite a skill, so too is producing snappy images - local business Burger Burger can do both with ease. They’ve done away with traditional advertising and instead engaged its customers with vibrant and interactive content.

Watch their story here to find out how they get more digital bang for their marketing buck.

Then get started yourself and join us at Digital Boost to get going with our free videos and resources!
