Heirloom Tomato Plants
We are now well into the planting season. These seedlings have grown massively since the weather has warmed up (mostly). Strong healthy plants ready to go into the ground NOW. A few varieties have sold out but there's still plenty to choose from - a good range of colours and fruit size, from cherries to super-size and plenty in between. We'll be at the Waikanae market tomorrow morning and Otaki on Sunday so long as the weather is not bucketing down. We can survive a few drops!
Coming up from next week, we will have the first of our capsicums (green, red, yellow and purple), chillies (from medium heat to mindblowing!), several different Zucchini, (including our favourite Italian varieties) pumpkin, butternut and scallopini.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
