Heirloom Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday
Labour Weekend is coming up, the traditional time for planting tomatoes although, as the article in this Thursday's The Post points out, this is still a bit early to be planting outdoors. The soil temperature is not consistently high enough in many areas, especially with the cold spells we have been experiencing.
Nevertheless, our heirloom tomatoes (over 60 different varieties!) are coming on well and we'll have the first of them at the Waikanae and Otaki Markets next weekend, along with some early Cucumber, Beans and Peas.
In the meantime, we will be at Waikanae tomorrow with a great assortment of Zucchini and some early Pumpkin.

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!
