Planting Time is here - Come on down To Waikanae market tomorrow.
Hopefully we are in for some more settled weather. Our heirloom vegetable seedlings are certainly racing away. This week we have some nice large heirloom tomatoes plus plants from a later planting coming along nicely. Still some good zucchini and more to come in future weeks.
Coming up next week, over ten different cucumbers and gherkins (including burpless!), plus pumpkin and Kamo Kamo (Kumi Kumi).
Kumara coming along nicely but still a couple of weeks away.
Dwarf and climbing beans should be here in December (our first planting succumbed to the wind, sadly.)
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED
Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
