Do you know what to do in the garden this weekend?
Our ezine Get Growing has all the info you need. This week, we say reap the rewards of growing your own cherries. Cover tomatoes to beat the birds, protect crops from windy weather, label seedheads for saving, move potted crops into partial shade, and plump up garlic, onions and shallots.
Turn pine cones into a summery wreath; take a look at Yates new book Top Edible Plants for Pots (and how not to kill them); plus go in the draw to win Kent & Stowe hand tools from Tui and a 2021 NZ Gardener Garden Diary.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.6% No, I enjoy it

1% Other - I'll share below
