Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Broadbean Plants at Waikanae Market tomorrow.

Val from Otaki District

It may be wet and windy, but the soil is warming up nicely. Still too early to be planting tomatoes outdoors but we have some nice early varieties suitable for starting out in a greenhouse or veggie pod.
We still have some 'Kimber' Zucchini, which are self-fertile and will set fruit even if the bees are not around to pollinate. Also a selection from our regular Zucchini varieties - 13 in total this year including some interesting new varieties.
Planning to be at the market in spite of the forecast but heavy wind may be a problem.

"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."
