Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets

Val from Otaki District

Finally a fine weekend just in time for spring planting!!!
Visit us at the Waikanae Community Market on this Saturday. Look for our stall half-way down Park Avenue (see photo) from 8.00 am to midday.
Over sixty varieties of heirloom tomatoes, from the tiny to the enormous. Strong healthy plants, grown locally and ready to go in the ground now. (Two excellent articles on growing tomatoes on Stuff today!)
Also a range of different Zucchini and the first cucumbers for those with green houses or a sunny sheltered spot.
At Otaki, you will find us in the carpark opposite New World from 10.00 - 2.00 on Sunday.

Packaging Boxes

Sushil from Waikanae

Hi,
Does anybody have packaging boxes ( not banana boxes) ? I thought I would ask before I go and purchase them.
Thanks.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.
