Heirloom Tomato Plants and Other Vegetables

Val from Otaki District

Once again, we will be bringing our range of heirloom vegetables to the Waikanae and Otaki markets this weekend. Look for our signboard along Park Road at Waikanae and in the grassed area at Otaki.
Our later tomato plantings, including Indigo Rose, Green Sausage, Black Krim, the Brandywines (Pink, Red and Yellow), Tumbling Tom, various cherries and low-acid varieties, are ready now. Strong healthy plants that will race away in current conditions. Now is an ideal time to plant outdoors for optimum results. $3.00 each.
Cucumbers include the hard-to-get New Zealand heirloom, Port Albert, and Poona Keena, an old variety from India, as well as Telegraph, Lebanese and Crystal Apple.
Limited quantities of Bonica Eggplant, a prolific early-producing variety.
We also have sweet capsicum, hot chillis, basil (sweet and Thai) and watermelon, plus zucchini and pumpkin.
For those who missed out earlier, we have new plantings of dwarf and climbing beans coming in the next couple of weeks. Succession planting will extend the harvesting season.
For more info and a list of all available varieties, please contact me at thepassingshow@xtra.co.nz
