Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend

Val from Otaki District

Hard to believe we could be staring down the barrel of yet another wet weekend! No-one told the tomatoes that wind and rain are not great gardening weather, so they have continued to grow into big strong plants just itching to go into the ground.
Looking for more colour in your salads? We have cherry, medium and extra-large tomatoes in red, orange, yellow, black, green, purple and even a 'blue' cherry appropriately named "Dancing with Smurfs'!
This week we have the first of the outdoor capsicum (4 different colours) and hot chillies.
Last chance for Kumi Kumi but still good stocks of Cucumber, Zucchini and Pumpkin and Spring Onions.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
