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.
CHILDCARE
Are you looking for casual childcare in the evenings or on the weekends?? Do you just need to take the occasional time out or maybe want some kid free shopping time.
I live locally and have 3 Adult children as well as a Nana to a grandchild overseas. I am a Registered Nurse with a Current First Aid Certificate.
Please feel free to make contact.
Thanks Kathy
