Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
More heirloom tomato varieties to chose from this week and hopefully the full range ready by next weekend.
We are at Waikanae Market Saturday mornings (look out for our site along Park Road)and Otaki on Sundays - always 'weather permitting'.
Heirloom varieties are those which have stood the test of time and have superior taste (and often greater health benefits) than those commercially grown for the supermarkets. Some have been around for literally hundreds of years. Please pm me if you would like the full list.
Large well-grown plants ready to plant as soon as the ground finally warms up (they will not thrive outdoors in current conditions). $3.00 each.
A range of colours and sizes to suit every use, from salads and salsas to preserves and pickles.
Also dwarf and climbing beans, snow peas and Zucchini, including 'Partenon', an ideal early season variety as it is self-fertile and will set fruit in cooler weather when bee activity is low.
More Zucchini varieties coming next weekend plus the first Pumpkin and Kumi Kumi.
Coming up in November, we will have Capsicums, and Chillies - including some with really eye-watering heat!

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
