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.

Businesses already needed to display codes at all alert levels. We are making it mandatory at the sorts of places where people gather consistently and in large numbers to ensure that people scan or sign in," Hipkins said. "This means those responsible for businesses and events will need to ensure people keep a record when they visit, either by scanning QR codes with the Covid-19 Tracer App or making a manual record." At the start of this month, scanning had slumped to its lowest level before Wellington's Covid scare. Only 498,723 scans were recorded on the Covid Tracer app which was the lowest number of scans on the app since June 22. There were 21 new Covid-19 community cases in New Zealand today, bringing this outbreak's total to 72.

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.

We’re sad to announce that Covid has forced the cancellation of our annual Daffodil Day street appeal. This will have a big impact on our fundraising, so we’re asking those who can to please donate online at daffodilday.org.nz. Thank you for your support Auckland.
Here is a weekend puzzle for those of you who enjoyed the last one. Answer to follow on Monday.
