Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets This Weekend
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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
