From our local paper this morning:
'Northland has swung from one extreme to the other after drought conditions in March quickly turned to record-breaking rainfall.
Whangārei received 402mm of rain that same month, more than quadruple the average rainfall of 96mm.
MetService meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane said April had been the wettest month for Whangārei since records began in 1943".
Tomorrow we are going on a road trip to Waitangi to the Maori Battalion Museum, Te Rau Aroha, I thought we may not feel like an early start on Saturday to go to the market and have been following a young lady on Facebook who supplies Vegie boxes so this seemed an ideal time to try one.
We bpought the $35 smaller box which contained
Chinese Cabbage Mini
Mandarins 750g
Bananas 750g
Jalapenos / Cayenne Chillis (Can be swapped for parsley on request)
Capsicums x 2
Cherry tomatoes 250g bag
Broccolini Bunch Small
Bunch of Spinach
Red Silverbeet
I see the Broccolini has been swapped for beans and am very happy with everything. I am thinking of this instead of going to the Market in winter. She also delivers.
That looks wonderful. I could live off that for a week, as long as I had a few potatoes in store.
ReplyDeleteWe have home grown potatoes and sweet potatoes in storage as well as buttercup squash from the Market.
DeleteThat is a good selection..and local too?
ReplyDelete8 km. from our door to hers so pretty local.
DeleteBrilliant! And easier than early doors marketing in the winter.
