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.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
