Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
More heirloom tomato varieties to chose from this week and hopefully the full range ready by next weekend.
We are at Waikanae Market Saturday mornings (look out for our site along Park Road)and Otaki on Sundays - always 'weather permitting'.
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. Please pm me if you would like the full list.
Large well-grown plants ready to plant as soon as the ground finally warms up (they will not thrive outdoors in current conditions). $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.
More Zucchini varieties coming next weekend plus the first Pumpkin and Kumi Kumi.
Coming up in November, we will have Capsicums, and Chillies - including some with really eye-watering heat!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
