Still a good selection of herbs for sale

Carol from Otumoetai

$2 each or three for $5. Green and Thai basil is ready; try chervil and you'll never use parsley again. Add salad burnet or Upland cress to your salads or attract the bees to pollinate your fruit and beans by growing borage.
Some named varieties of tomatoes, mostly cherry type - red, yellow, orange, white - some suitable for hanging baskets - at the same price. Running low on chillies, cucumbers, zucchini and capsicums but more will be ready in a couple of weeks.
Raspberries - small plants of the ivory coloured variety $2. Limited number of flower seedlings and vegetable plants plus a few unnamed tomato plants that desperately need to be planted out in the open ground at $0.50 each.
No chemical sprays have been used and I feed with liquid seaweed or worm juice.
I would also be extremely grateful for donations of small plastic flower pots - the type that the ''potted colour' plants come in. I've tried every op shop around with no joy.
