Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
We still have good supplies of most heirloom tomato varieties but this will be the last weekend for some. Lovely strong plants that need planting now. $3.00 each or 6 for $15.
This week we are featuring the hard-to-get 'Perfect Flame', which we regard as the Rolls Royce of yellow/orange tomatoes with a sweet tangy taste and superior disease resistance.
Also 'Kumato', one of the best of the more recent introductions, with reddish brown/green coloration and superb taste.
We also have sweet capsicum (red, yellow and purple) plus several varieties of zucchini, scallopini and pumpkin/squash as well as kumara and basil.
Next week we are hoping our cucumber and hot chillies will be ready.

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.
