Heirloom Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday

Val from Otaki District

Wow, it's amazing what a week of warmer weather, plus just the right amount of rain, can do!
Tomatoes have doubled in size. These are good strong plants, grown outdoors and hardened off so they are ready to go straight into your garden or planters. Still a good range of heirloom varieties to choose from.
Plenty of Cucumbers, including the legendary New Zealand heirloom, Port Albert. Plus Gherkins.
Pumpkin include Butternut, Buttercup, Whangaparoa Crown, Queensland Blue and Kumi Kumi (Kamo Kamo).
Herbs: Mint and Chives. Basil should be ready by next week.
We've had poor germination with our bean seeds but hope to have Dwarf and Runner Beans ready very shortly.

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED

Gary from Waikanae

Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Rhondda from Waikanae

I have a chest freezer which is broken. I was wanting to know if there is anyone out there who does collection of white goods free.
