It's official! Tomatoes are New Zealand's favourite vegetable according to Yates (even though technically tomatoes are fruit).
We have a wide range of varieties in all sizes and colours (including a so-called blue tomato) originating from all over Europe, North America, Mexico and even Afghanistan. Heirloom tomatoes are those that have been handed down through the generations for their superior performance and, above all, flavour.
This week, in addition to our regular range of Zucchini, we are also introducing 'Tondo Chiaro Di Nizza', an Italian round Zucchini much sought-after in Europe for its flavour and versatility. Not only can 'Tondo' be sliced like a regular Zucchini, it can be cut in half and filled with your favourite savoury stuffing. Ideal as a side dish at a barbecue or even a light main meal.
And, last but not least, we have Gherkins for pickle lovers as well as a selection of Cucumber.

🚧 Kia ora Kāpiti. Look out for changing traffic conditions this week on Kāpiti Road around the Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade. Our crew will be laying new road surface over the trench covering the new pipeline, before work turns towards the newly cleared corner section.

The direction of traffic travel on Kāpiti Road will then ‘switch’ – with one lane of traffic travelling west towards the beach between Amohia Street and Rimu Road. Rimu Road at the Kāpiti Road intersection will be left turn only (or straight through to Waimarie Ave). The Kāpiti Lights access on Kāpiti Road will be left in, left out only.

Our crew continues to make excellent progress installing the new stormwater pipeline, and we expect to be off Kāpiti Road before Christmas. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we upgrade our infrastructure to reduce flooding and prepare for weather changes in the future.
