South Australia - December 2002

Select the date from the list shown below for this months tip

2nd A few weeks ago you may recall that I mentioned the high incidence of black spot and powdery mildew on roses this year and that a reliable control was to select roses that showed some tolerance to these fungal diseases.

9th Last week I made a plea to help me save face with my step daughter Holli about growing Impatiens, well I got some advice from a Mrs Mansfield at Clapham, that I was trying too hard and I should do nothing.

16th I’m still getting advice about growing Impatiens and well lots of it. I’ve been flooded with seed and plenty of sound advice. Most correspondence is from folk who are astonished that I’d find Impatiens a challenge, since most agree they border on weed status.
