Still a good selection of herbs for sale

Carol from Otumoetai

$2 each or three for $5. Green and Thai basil is ready; try chervil and you'll never use parsley again. Add salad burnet or Upland cress to your salads or attract the bees to pollinate your fruit and beans by growing borage.
Some named varieties of tomatoes, mostly cherry type - red, yellow, orange, white - some suitable for hanging baskets - at the same price. Running low on chillies, cucumbers, zucchini and capsicums but more will be ready in a couple of weeks.
Raspberries - small plants of the ivory coloured variety $2. Limited number of flower seedlings and vegetable plants plus a few unnamed tomato plants that desperately need to be planted out in the open ground at $0.50 each.
No chemical sprays have been used and I feed with liquid seaweed or worm juice.
I would also be extremely grateful for donations of small plastic flower pots - the type that the ''potted colour' plants come in. I've tried every op shop around with no joy.

How can our communities manage a drop in school funding without losing the "soul" of our local schools in the Bay of Plenty?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

New Zealand is seeing some big demographic shifts, and the reality is that shrinking school rolls are on the horizon 📉🏫

Since school funding and teacher numbers are tied to how many students are in the classrooms, our local schools might be facing some "belt-tightening" in the coming years.

Our question to you: How can our communities manage a drop in school funding without losing the "soul" of our local schools in the Bay of Plenty?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)
