Healthy Communities November Thoughts... Dig in and get growing....now is the time to get those summer salad gardens planted for the barbecue season. Get those salad greens in the ground and plant your cherry tomatoes. There's nothing more satisfying or cheaper than growing your own produce and serving up to friends and whanau. Have you given any thought to gifting a food tree to the person who has everything this year? Pretty to look at and tasty too! Potted herbs are always an option as well .... tie a bow round the pot and HO HO HO, it's a christmas gift! You will notice an over-abundance of facial hair on the streets this month because of Movember! Grow your mo men, and support men's health programmes, prostate cancer research and male depression. Keep your eyes peeled for all shapes and sizes and if you're particularly proud of your efforts in the mo growing stakes, send us a pic. We'll publish it in our next newsletter (don't think name and shame - think loud and proud!). Looking forward to hearing about your growing efforts (vegies AND mo's)... 'til next time...
