Waikato’s Plan Change 1 is very concerning for vegetable growers: Vegetable growers rely on rotating different crops between different parcels of land – some owned and some leased from third parties – to maintain soil health, reduce disease, and minimise fertiliser and pesticide use. But under PC1, growers rotating across sub-catchments could be forced into far more complex and restrictive consenting pathways. During winter, Pukekohe can supply around 80% of some fresh vegetables because few other regions can produce at the same scale, mainly because the Pukekohe region is reasonably frost-free. If production declines in Pukekohe, the effects will be felt by retailers and consumers right across the country. Source: Federated Farmers

Vegetable growers warn Waikato's Plan Change 1 could make crop production more difficult, with potential impacts on prices and supply.

This work in Mt Eden Village features three supersized kumara rendered in brick and pipe fragments in the artist's signature playful style. The kumara itself played an important role in Mt Eden's rich history and development. Tahuri was from Waikato and married into the Waiohua people of Tamaki. (Source: Eden Arts)

🌱💚 Eat Seasonally! What's Instore? 💚🌱
New Zealand Cherimoyas. Also known as custard apples.

To eat a cherimoya, choose a fruit that is ripe (the skin has changed from bright green to a slightly darker greenish-brown) and yields slightly to a gentle squeeze, similar to a ripe avocado. Cut the cherimoya in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Discard the dark brown seeds – do NOT eat the seeds. You can also peel the fruit and cut it into cubes or slices. The taste is light and refreshing, and the fruit has a creamy, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels reminiscent of ice-cream.

Nutrition info: Cherimoya offers health benefits from its rich content of fibre, vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants, which support immune function, digestion, heart health, and skin health.

Origin: A subtropical fruit believed to have originated in the Andes region of Peru and Ecuador.
