Hopefully we are in for some more settled weather. Our heirloom vegetable seedlings are certainly racing away. This week we have some nice large heirloom tomatoes plus plants from a later planting coming along nicely. Still some good zucchini and more to come in future weeks.

This week we have some nice large heirloom tomatoes plus plants from a later planting coming along nicely. Still some good zucchini and more to come in future weeks.
Coming up next week, over ten different cucumbers and gherkins (including burpless!), plus pumpkin and Kamo Kamo (Kumi Kumi).
Kumara coming along nicely but still a couple of weeks away.
Dwarf and climbing beans should be here in December (our first planting succumbed to the wind, sadly.)
Looking for a convertible for summer? This car is a rare find with only one owner since new in NZ and only 23,000 kms.
