Heirloom Tomato and Zucchini Plants at Waikanae Market this Saturday
Whoever said Labour Weekend was the time to plant tomatoes?!!! Nobody told the weather gods this past week! But things seem to be looking up for the week ahead.
We have a good range of good strong heirloom Tomatoes ready to go now, plus more in the pipeline. A great range of colours and sizes suitable for all culinary purposes and growing conditions. Plus smaller growing varieties suitable for container or vegie pod cultivation.
This will be the last week for Zucchini until mid/late November so get in quick if you want an early crop.
We have 12 different varieties (list available on request), including two newcomers:
GREEN LIGHTENING: new to the market this year.
Unusual shape and vivid green stripe make it stand out from the crowd. Suitable for stuffing.
Early ripening and excellent yield and flavour.
and
RAMPICANTE: Italian heirloom - said to have been cultivated from the wild by Italian gardeners several centuries ago.
Growth habit: rampant! Ideal for vertical gardening!
Produces long curvey fruit that can be harvested young like a regular Zucchini or left to mature for winter storage.

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.
