Heirloom Tomato Plants, Dwarf and Climbing Beans and Zucchini

Val from Otaki District

We will be at Waikanae Market Saturday mornings (look out for our signage along Park Road)and Otaki on Sundays with the first selection from our extensive range of over 60 heirloom tomato varieties. More becoming available each week. Please pm me if you would like the full list of available varieties or if you would like to purchase.
Heirloom varieties are those which have stood the test of time and have superior taste (and often greater health benefits) than those commercially grown for the supermarkets. Some have been around for literally hundreds of years.
Large well-grown plants ready to plant as soon as the ground finally warms up. $3.00 each.
A range of colours and sizes to suit every use, from salads and salsas to preserves and pickles.

Also dwarf and climbing beans, snow peas and Zucchini, including 'Partenon', an ideal early season variety as it is self fertile and will set fruit in cooler weather when bee activity is low.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
