Heirloom Tomato and Zucchini Plants at Waikanae Market this Saturday
Get in ahead of the Labour Weekend rush! (The weather beat us last Saturday but hoping for better things this week.)
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 with some interesting new additions), including Striato, Fiorentino and the very popular Costata Romanesco, all grown from imported Italian seed.
These are strong, well-established plants, ready to go in the ground now.
Altogether we grow over 60 types of mostly heirloom tomatoes in a range of sizes and colours to suit every taste and growing situation, be it open garden, greenhouse or veggie pod.
While some seed merchants promote hybrid varieties over heirloom, we have found that heirloom seed generally germinate more reliably and produce stronger, healthier seedlings. And have far superior flavour!! There is after all good reason why families have passed down their seed from generation to generation for sometimes hundreds of years!
A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
