Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: The fuel hurdle ... How are you navigating the Manawatū pump prices? 🏎️

We’ve all seen the warnings: fuel prices are surging toward heights we haven’t seen in years, with some projections suggesting we could hit the $4 mark soon. While the experts are saying "don't panic buy," it’s hard not to feel a bit of "pump shock" every time we fill up.

Keen to read more? The Manawatū Standard has you covered.

Given the impact on our local Manawatū economy and our own wallets, we want to know: Are you changing the way you get around the region?
