Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets This Weekend
Last chance for tomatoes, kumara and beans. Seedlings have been growing so fast that they need to go in the ground NOW.
Still a good choice of tomatoes available - some pictured below. We've been planting ours over the past couple of weeks and the growth spurt they put on once in the ground is just amazing. These plants will keep cropping until the first frosts.
Both purple and orange kumara still available - but stocks are getting low.
Also dwarf and climbing round beans plus scarlet runners.
Four different types of basil - great companion plants for tomatoes as well as pesto. Or plant some marigolds with you tomatoes for colour and to protect them against caterpillars.
Capsicum available next week - red, orange, yellow and purple varieties plus manzano chillies - quite hot enough for most tastes!
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Desk top computer
Does anyone have a desk top computer in good condition going cheap? Would also prefer a larger screen/monitor
Black currants?
Will anyone have spare black currants in the next couple of weeks? A friend has volunteered to make a summer pudding for our book club lunch if we can get her some fresh black currants! Jenny 0223844012
