We don't always think in our outdoor areas on a wet cold weekend heading into shorter days but just a thought from an experienced deck designer/builder , when the weather clears your deck areas will be dry and usable in a few hours whereas the lawns can take days to dry out . Cost wise this is a great time to talk designs and costs and get free advice . Also we can sort repairs and maintenance. Contact Pete Ashton 7days/ 0274403242 .

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
