Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
Weather not looking great for gardening this weekend but the plants afre ready to go so we will be at the markets if there is at least a chance of a fine break.
Labour Weekend is the traditional time for planting tomatoes although, as the article in last Thursday's The Post points out, this is still a bit early to be planting outdoors. The soil temperature is not consistently high enough in many areas, especially with the cold spells we have been experiencing.
Nevertheless, our heirloom tomatoes (over 60 different varieties!) are coming on well and we'll have the first of them at the Waikanae and Otaki Markets this weekend, along with some early Zucchini, Pumpkin, Beans and Peas.
Look for our stall halfway along Park Avenue.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
