Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets This Weekend

Val from Otaki District

The first of the heirloom tomatoes are ready for their new homes! These are strictly greenhouse only until the weather improves. Around 20 different varieties ready now, with more to come over the next several weeks.
Zucchini - as well as the self-fertile Partenon, we have Black Beauty, Solar Flare (yellow) plus the prized Italian varieties, Striata and Costata Romanesco (in our view the Rolls Royce among Zucchini!), grown from especially imported Italian seed.
Peas - sugar snap, snowpeas and green garden peas as well as mint and chives.
Dwarf and climbing beans coming along for next week, along with spring onions and hopefully the first of the cucumber, again strictly for greenhouse planting.

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)
.
