Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend

Val from Otaki District

Our seedlings are loving the warmth and rain we have been getting (not so much the wind!). They've really taken off and are in prime condition for planting out now.
Tomatoes from our later sowing are ready now. A good range of sizes and colours available, from tiny to the very large and plenty in between.
All our curcubits are racing away, so this weekend we are specialling kumi kumi, gherkins and crown pumpkin at $3 or two for $5.
We also have basil, zucchini, cucumber dwarf and climbing beans, peppers and chillis.
Scarlet runner beans will be ready from next week. Kumara by mid-December.
For those who missed out earlier, we have a limited supply of some favourite heirloom tomatoes such as Black Krim, Indigo Rose and Isle of Capri, as well as a range of cherry tomatoes, which should be ready in two weeks. Text me on 027 220 1355 for further information.

Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

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

Val from Otaki District

Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
