Heirloom Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday

Val from Otaki District

Labour Weekend is coming up, the traditional time for planting tomatoes although, as the article in this Thursday's The Post points out, this is still a bit early to be planting outdoors. The soil temperature is not consistently high enough in many areas, especially with the cold spells we have been experiencing.
Nevertheless, our heirloom tomatoes (over 60 different varieties!) are coming on well and we'll have the first of them at the Waikanae and Otaki Markets next weekend, along with some early Cucumber, Beans and Peas.
In the meantime, we will be at Waikanae tomorrow with a great assortment of Zucchini and some early Pumpkin.
