What‘s on - live music, surf, swaps, and hot pools

So much art at Tauranga Historic Village!

Good morning and welcome to your Sunday! If you're out and about today, make sure to say ‘hello' to at least five people you haven't met before. You never know what friendships can spring from this one word!

We're expecting a high of 23 and overnight low of 17 degrees, with a mostly cloudy day, a few shows and light winds.

For the week ahead, the Metservice is forecasting mostly cloudy days with one or two showers and light winds.

If you're heading to Mount Maunganui or Papamoa, be sure to check out the markets.

The Papamoa Lions Market starts at 8am and runs til noon at the Gordon Spratt Reserve in Alice Way off Parton Rd. You'll find fresh produce, lovely food, and some unbeatable bargains on everything from clothes to hardware. There are also stalls for those looking for some handmade treasures. Stop by and say ‘hello'.

The Mount Farmers Market is back at their old market spot along at the Mount Mainstreet park. Opening at 9am, the market in downtown Mount Maunganui runs until 1pm.

Autumn has arrived, and the air is cooling down, it's a perfect time to prepare the winter garden so you can enjoy a variety of fruit, vegetables and flowers through the winter months. Digging in lots of compost is a great way to start, which will help replenish the nutrients lost in your soil over summer.

Vegetables such as garlic, beans, beetroot and leafy greens like kale can be planted at this time of the year. It's also a good time to check on gutters for plant debris.
