Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
We sell a range of vegetable seedlings at the Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets - Waikanae, Saturdays 8.00 - 12.00 and Otaki Sundays 9.00 - 2.00 pm (weather permitting).
This weekend, we have Zucchini ready for greenhouse planting now. This is a self-fertile variety ideal for greenhouses and the cooler weather as it does not rely on bees or other insects to set fruit.
Also available now are snowpeas (both green and purple pods), sugarsnap and green garden peas.
We have expanded our already extensive range of HEIRLOOM TOMATO varieties this year (17 different cherry tomatoes) and hope to have them available soon - provided we get a few more sunshine hours!
NOTE, these will be for greenhouse only until the weather and the ground temperatures warm up. We do not recommend planting outdoors until early November.
Also coming up in a few weeks: dwarf and climbing beans, cucumbers, kumi kumi, pumpkin, kumara, peppers (capsicum), hot chillis and much more.
Look for our stall at Waikanae half-way down Park Road and Otaki opposite New World..
