If you are about to invest in a live Christmas
tree this year, place a capful of White King™ bleach into a litre of water when you
stand the tree up. I'd recommend a glass container rather than a tin, or it corrodes
quickly and top it up with fresh water daily. |

Hydrangeas are budding up nicely all around
this area, but still lots of green veins on yellow leaves. That indicates lime induced
chlorosis and signals that you need to add iron chelates to your soil or pot to remedy. It
will not effect flower colour but increases plant vigour and the size of blooms. |

A very large tomato punnet grower told me recently that the 'Dynamite' tomato is
Adelaide's best kept secret. It is selling very quickly to all those that have tried it.
So if it's a stranger to you, definitely worth trying and remember who told you first! |

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and don’t
forget to feed the Christmas tree if you have a live tree. |
