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!
