Heirloom Veggie Plants Waikanae Market this Saturday
Another week of excellent growing weather so head on down to the market this Saturday!
Still a good range of heirloom Tomatoes but we are running low on some varieties. We have good strong plants, grown outdoors and hardened off so they are ready to go straight into your garden or planters. A great selection of different sizes, from tiny cherries to enormous beefsteak types, and colours ranging from green to black, orange, yellow, purple as well as red.
Plenty of Cucumbers, including the legendary New Zealand heirloom, Port Albert, plus Lebanese, Crystal Apple, Spacemaster and various Telegraph varieties.
Pumpkin include Butternut, Buttercup, Whangaparoa Crown, Queensland Blue and Kumi Kumi (Kamo Kamo).
Herbs: Mint and Chives and Basil.
Coming soon: Red Capsicum and a limited amount of Kumara, both red and orange.
We've had poor germination with our bean seeds but hope to have Dwarf and Runner Beans ready very shortly.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
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?
