Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets

Val from Otaki District

Finally a fine weekend just in time for spring planting!!!
Visit us at the Waikanae Community Market on this Saturday. Look for our stall half-way down Park Avenue (see photo) from 8.00 am to midday.
Over sixty varieties of heirloom tomatoes, from the tiny to the enormous. Strong healthy plants, grown locally and ready to go in the ground now. (Two excellent articles on growing tomatoes on Stuff today!)
Also a range of different Zucchini and the first cucumbers for those with green houses or a sunny sheltered spot.
At Otaki, you will find us in the carpark opposite New World from 10.00 - 2.00 on Sunday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
