Heirloom Tomato Plants and Other Vegetables at Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets
Once again staring down the barrel of bad weather for the markets this weekend but we'll be there with more tomatoes and zucchini.
Cucumber will be ready for next weekend and a range of other seedlings for Labour Weekend and after.
Not ready to plant yet? No worries, we'll have lots of veggies coming on right up until Christmas. And many tender plants such as peppers and eggplants will just not prosper if planted too soon and subjected to a cold spell.

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?
