With your tremendous support, pea weevil has been successfully eradicated.
To our knowledge, this is the first time pea weevil has been eradicated anywhere in the world. We caught it early and acted fast to remove the insect’s only food source, which caused the population to die out.
This good news means the ban on pea plants and pea straw is now lifted. You can again grow peas and use pea straw as garden bedding material.
If they became established, pea weevils could have a serious effect on pea crops. So if you believe you have found pea weevils on pea plants or pea straw, please call our pests and diseases hotline 0800 80 99 66.
For extra surety of eradication, we will also monitor some commercial pea harvests for another season.

Other vegetables include amaranth, apple cucumber, basil, bay leaves, beetroot, beans, carrots, corn, cucumbers, chillies, elephant garlic, hazelnuts, kūmara leaf, lambs quarters, lettuce, malabar spinach, NZ spinach, mizuna, potatoes, radishes, rocket, scallopini, silverbeet, sorrel, and zucchini.
Wilf from Henson's Gardens is back after a week's break with his large variety of fresh seasonal produce. This includes broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, eggs, fennel, kūmara, onions, oranges, potatoes, Māori potatoes, and turnips.
Garden for Life will be selling Elwin Farm’s organically fed, free-range eggs for the next few weeks. Helen also has a range of home-grown seeds, seedlings, and a mixture of tools to help you grow your garden.
Sue and Mitsuo Okano will be here with their Okano Alignment Technique massages.
Also here this Saturday is Helen's Honey and Adrianne's Crafts.
