Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend

Val from Otaki District

This will be our last weekend markets until the New Year (New Year's Eve at Waikanae, 8 Jan Otaki).
We have new zucchini plants ready to go in now plus capsicum and chillies, including red and orange manzano chilli - not quite up there for heat with the legendary 'Carolina Reaper' but more than hot enough for most mortals!
Still a good range of tomato plants available but there will only be a few select large grade plants after this weekend.
Also some potted colour for Christmas cheer - vibrant Impatiens, including the large-flowered 'New Guinea' strain. These can be grown year-round in the right conditions and look absolutely stunning in part-shade over summer.
We would like to take this opportunity to say 'thankyou' to our many regular customers and wish you all the very best for the Festive Season. It's been a pleasure to share your gardening journeys.
Terry and Val
