Kumquat jam - give it a go! Free fruit.
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. Text me on 021621775 if you want some, and I'll leave at bottom of drive in plastic bag. I picked fruit wearing gloves and a mask. Cheers Steve

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
