Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend
This will be our last weekend markets until the New Year (New Year's Eve at Waikanae, 8 Jan Otaki).
We have new zucchini plants ready to go in now plus capsicum and chillies, including red and orange manzano chilli - not quite up there for heat with the legendary 'Carolina Reaper' but more than hot enough for most mortals!
Still a good range of tomato plants available but there will only be a few select large grade plants after this weekend.
Also some potted colour for Christmas cheer - vibrant Impatiens, including the large-flowered 'New Guinea' strain. These can be grown year-round in the right conditions and look absolutely stunning in part-shade over summer.
We would like to take this opportunity to say 'thankyou' to our many regular customers and wish you all the very best for the Festive Season. It's been a pleasure to share your gardening journeys.

Only one colour, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in the sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
