Current water and fire restrictions around Kāpiti
Kāpiti is now surrounded by districts with water restrictions. While water shortages are predicted for a big part of the Wellington Region, we’re not anticipating any issues here.
But we still have a few things for you to consider:
- Always have an emergency supply of at least 140 litres per person on hand (supply for seven days).
- Be aware of high fire risk warnings – there’s currently one in place for Greater Wellington's Queen Elizabeth Park in Paekākāriki.
- Take care if you're doing anything that could create a spark, particularly at the hottest and driest time of the day (after 2pm). This includes using mowers, welders, and other powered tools.
- Watch where you park vehicles or use motorbikes – hot exhausts can set fire to grass easily in dry conditions.

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