Val from Otaki District

We have a great selection this week and these plants don't want to wait. They want to go in the ground NOW!

Also Zucchini, several varieties including our favourite, Costata Romanesco (see today's DomPost Gardening column).
Cucumber, several varieties + 'Home Made Pickles' (Gherkins)
Dwarf and climbing beans.
Capsicum will be ready next week (4 different colours) as well as Takamatua Black runner beans, a New Zealand heirloom from Banks Peninsula.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
