🌿 Too Much Basil? Here’s a Tasty Solution! 🌿
Sometimes my basil plants go wild, and I end up with more than I can possibly use.
So, I’ve started mashing fresh basil with olive oil and storing it in the fridge—ready to transform into a quick pesto, marinade, or a deliciously fresh boost to homemade or store-bought mayo. 🌱✨
It’s an easy way to preserve the flavor and make sure nothing goes to waste! How do you use up your extra herbs? 🍃💚

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
