This involves getting to know our Council, our iwi partners, and our community, the challenges and opportunities facing our district, and our mahi to deliver on our Long-term Plan 2021-41.
We’ll be keeping you updated on what your elected representatives are up to each week, but in the meantime you can take your own crash course in Council. You might be surprised how much of our work impacts your daily life - www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

These are grown from seed passed down through the generations over decades (centuries in some cases!) and cherished for their superior flavour. Many of our tomatoes are not readily available elsewhere and you certainly wont find them on supermarket shelves! A range of sizes, shapes and colours to suit every taste.
Also zucchini, peas, beans, spring onions and a limited selection of herbs.
We aim to be at the markets this weekend unless it's raining non-stop.
We sell a range of vegetable seedlings at the Waikanae and Otaki Community Markets - Waikanae, Saturdays 8.00 - 12.00 and Otaki Sundays 9.00 - 2.00 pm (weather permitting).

This weekend, we have Zucchini ready for greenhouse planting now. This is a self-fertile variety ideal for greenhouses and the cooler weather as it does not rely on bees or other insects to set fruit.
Also available now are snowpeas (both green and purple pods), sugarsnap and green garden peas.
We have expanded our already extensive range of HEIRLOOM TOMATO varieties this year (17 different cherry tomatoes) and hope to have them available soon - provided we get a few more sunshine hours!
NOTE, these will be for greenhouse only until the weather and the ground temperatures warm up. We do not recommend planting outdoors until early November.
Also coming up in a few weeks: dwarf and climbing beans, cucumbers, kumi kumi, pumpkin, kumara, peppers (capsicum), hot chillis and much more.
Look for our stall at Waikanae half-way down Park Road and Otaki opposite New World..

Todd Zaner filled in, in Tanya's absence on "At the table with Gail" last Saturday...and the recipes didn't quite make it up on to the FB page, so here are her one's for this Saturday's show as well as last week's ones....
Happy cooking/creating!
