Heirloom Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday

Val from Otaki District

This week it's early Zucchini for those with a greenhouse or a really warm sheltered spot. Our 'Kimber' variety is a prolific cropper and self-fertile, which makes it ideal for early spring when the bees are not active. Last two weeks for this variety. A great range of other varieties coming on for later this month.
The first heirloom tomatoes are just a week away, again, for greenhouse or veggie pod planting only at this stage. The ground needs to warm up a lot more before we would recommend planting outdoors.
Also celery, silverbeet, broadbeans and beetroot this week. More spring favourites in the pipeline for coming weeks.
In the flower line, we have potted daffodil, carnations and freesias just coming into bloom.
Look for our stall midway along Park Avenue. Just hoping the weather is going to be kinder than forecast!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
