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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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? 🏎️

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?
