Tomorrow, Sunday, spells the first day of the silly season, but also the first day of summer. And with these longer, warmer days most summer crops should be in the ground enjoying the heat. For me it's always a race against time, what from my garden is going to be ready to eat by Christmas.

And with these longer, warmer days most summer crops should be in the ground enjoying the heat. For me it's always a race against time, what from my garden is going to be ready to eat by Christmas.
Local Growers this week has the start of the summer cucumbers, and some early new season potatoes. These potatoes were saved from Audrey's crop last year, planted in September, and hand harvested yesterday. In all ways local!
Other spray-free compost-grown produce includes avocados, bay leaves, beetroot, broadbeans, broccoli, carrots, garlic scapes, hazelnuts, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, mizuna, NZ spinach, pumpkin, radishes, rocket, silverbeet, sorrel, rhubarb, and turnips.
Julie Winder will be there selling her Greytown Gold olive oil, as well as lemons and limes. She has a special on her hazelnuts running up to Christmas, at only $6 per 500g or $10 per kg. She also has dukkah, dried feijoa and roasted hazelnuts. Cotton garden ties, ideal for tieing up tomatoes and climbers, are $2.50 per ball, money being raised for the Wairarapa Treecrops Assoc.
Keep an eye out for Fionna Hill’s 2020 NZ Gardeners’ Diary “Through the Seasons”, on the Local Growers stall. Normally retailing at $16.99, Carterton Farmer’s Market special $15.00. Ideal Christmas gift for a gardener who has everything.
Helen's Honey will not be here this week but her honey will. Look for the table next to Garden for Life.
Other stall this week include:
Coffee On the Go
Adrianne's Crafts
Elwin Farm
Garden for Life
Hensons Gardens
Steve Wyllie's Food Forest Plants
With showers on the horizon for next week get out and enjoy the sunshine with a leisurely stroll down to the Carterton Farmers Market. Open every Sunday from 9.00am to 12.30pm in Memorial Square. It will be great to see you there.
