Veggie Plants Waikanae and Otaki Markets This Weekend

Val from Otaki District

Weather not looking great for gardening this weekend but the plants afre ready to go so we will be at the markets if there is at least a chance of a fine break.
Labour Weekend is the traditional time for planting tomatoes although, as the article in last 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 this weekend, along with some early Zucchini, Pumpkin, Beans and Peas.
Look for our stall halfway along Park Avenue.

There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔

"Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I think he's from the CIA."
