Heirloom Tomato and Zucchini Plants at Waikanae Market this Saturday
Whoever said Labour Weekend was the time to plant tomatoes?!!! Nobody told the weather gods this past week! But things seem to be looking up for the week ahead.
We have a good range of good strong heirloom Tomatoes ready to go now, plus more in the pipeline. A great range of colours and sizes suitable for all culinary purposes and growing conditions. Plus smaller growing varieties suitable for container or vegie pod cultivation.
This will be the last week for Zucchini until mid/late November so get in quick if you want an early crop.
We have 12 different varieties (list available on request), including two newcomers:
GREEN LIGHTENING: new to the market this year.
Unusual shape and vivid green stripe make it stand out from the crowd. Suitable for stuffing.
Early ripening and excellent yield and flavour.
and
RAMPICANTE: Italian heirloom - said to have been cultivated from the wild by Italian gardeners several centuries ago.
Growth habit: rampant! Ideal for vertical gardening!
Produces long curvey fruit that can be harvested young like a regular Zucchini or left to mature for winter storage.
Quote for the Day
"Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I think he's from the CIA."
