Tomatoes in a wide range of sizes, from Cherry to supersized, and colours ranging through red, green, yellow, orange and three different 'black' varieties. All in perfect condition for planting right now.
Cucumber, Kumara (red and orange), Beans (dwarf and climbing varieties including Scarlet Runner), Chillies, Capsicum and Basil. This will be the last week for many items, so come along, enjoy the festivities and grab some bargains. There's still two days before the Big Day to get plants into the ground and it's looking like nature will do the watering for you next week!

What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.
Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.
