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.

An update on our Education Day this Saturday - sadly, our speaker Kathryn Patterson is unwell and has had to cancel. We plan to have her back next year. Jill Williams, a Fellow of the Irish Genealogical Research Society, originally from Cork and now based in Edinburgh, will be presenting to us instead (live via Zoom). Jill has been researching and teaching family history for many years and we're delighted she's helping us out at such short notice.
The collector must dismantle. No longer required, it needs a cleanup. But works fine.
Does anyone have 10 red bricks I could have so I can finish a small garden area.
Many thanks in advance.

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.
