Veggie Plants at Waikanae Christmas Market Friday Afternoon 3.00 - 7.00 pm
Seedlings don't stop growing just because it's Christmas! And we couldn't make it to the markets last weekend, so we're overstocked!
Tomatoes in a wide range of sizes, from Cherry to supersized, and colours ranging through red, green, yellow, orange and three different 'black' varieties. All in perfect condition for planting right now.
Cucumber, Kumara (red and orange), Beans (dwarf and climbing varieties including Scarlet Runner), Chillies, Capsicum and Basil. This will be the last week for many items, so come along, enjoy the festivities and grab some bargains. There's still two days before the Big Day to get plants into the ground and it's looking like nature will do the watering for you next week!
Contact me on 027 220 1355 with any special requests.
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
