Have you got a great recipe for feijoas?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for feijoas, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our March 2025 issue.

Are you keeping it old school?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We know that things come back around, look at vinyl records!

Do you still use any old-school technology (like landlines or VHS tapes) at home?

Let us know in the comments.

Cat Paws & Hearts for Sale

Connie from Remuera

Hello neighbours. I learned to crochet six months ago via youtube and have come to love it. I have made headbands, earwarmers, beanies, bucket hats. Lately I'm obsessed with cat paws and hearts.

You can personalise bags and accessories, patch on to jackets/jeans/sweaters, even mend holes in clothing, add to your nametag/lanyard/keychain. Use as a coaster. Include in gift wrapping.

Pick up in Remuera or I can post at your cost.
