Heirloom Tomato Plants and Other Vegetables at Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets
Spring planting time is coming up and we'll have our first selection of seedlings available at the markets this weekend. If you have a greenhouse, veggie pod or a warm sheltered spot, we have the plants to get you started with 30+ tomato varieties ready now and more on the way in coming weeks.
In all, we grow over 60 types of heirloom tomatoes. These are grown from seed passed down through the generations over decades (centuries in some cases!) and cherished for their superior flavour. Many of our tomatoes are not readily available elsewhere and you certainly wont find them on supermarket shelves! A range of sizes, shapes and colours to suit every taste.
We also have some strong well-established seedlings of our much sought-after Partenon Zucchini. This is a self-fertile variety that is especially suited to this time of year when bees are less active. Partenon is a good-cropper, with a relatively compact growth habit compared with other varieties and an excellent flavour.
Plants are ready now, so we aim to be at the markets this weekend whatever the weather.
Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
