Heirloom Tomato Plants and Other Vegetables
Our seedlings have really benefitted from the warmth and moisture this week. The tomatoes are ready to go in the ground as soon as you are ready to plant. This week we are featuring a number of varieties suitable for pot culture, including WindowBox Red, Ildi and Subarctic Plenty, said to be the world's earliest tomato and especially suited to a shorter growing season.
We have a good range of colourful cherry tomatoes - but note 'Sweet 100' will not be available until next weekend.
We have a number of different Zucchini, including the lovely crisp Italian varieties, plus some pumpkin and scallopini. And the beans (both climbing and dwarf) are just bursting to get out of their punnets and into the ground.
So come see us at the Waikanae(Saturday) and Otaki (Sunday)markets this weekend.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
