23.01.2022 Today we celebrate the wonder of bees for World Bee Day! Without the bees, where would we be? No flowering plants and no food.Without bees we cannot properly... function. They need us to protect them. Do you have bee friendly plants and flowers in your garden? They include: Lavender, eucalyptus, borage, melaleuca, rocket, daiseys, fennel and brassicas! by Circles of Learning | @circles_learning See more

09.01.2022 Build yourself a stackable strawberry tower and treat yourself to fresh berries for seasons to come

09.01.2022 Cucumbers... I didnt know this...& to think all these years Ive only been making salads with the cucumbers... WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER IS. I WILL LO...OK AT IT DIFFERENTLY NOW. 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours. 3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance. 4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area. 5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a Few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!! 6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!! 7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation. 8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you dont have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water. 9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone! 10.Stressed out and dont have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams. 11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you dont have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemicals will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath. 12. Looking for a green way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is wont leave streaks and wont harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean. 13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!! Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve lifes everyday problems.

03.01.2022 Blossom end rot Tomatoes can be prone to a condition called blossom end rot. Its caused by a lack of calcium which is exacerbated by insufficient or inconsi...stent watering. It looks like a disease but its not. Like many areas, our place is as dry as toast and keeping the water up to our tomatoes has been really challenging, particularly only having tank water. So how can we all minimise blossom end rot? * Give your tomatoes (and other fruiting vegies) as much consistent watering as you can. * Applying a soil wetting agent can help moisture penetrate down into the root zone and a good layer of mulch can reduce evaporation from the soil surface. * Boost calcium levels in the soil by applying a liquid lime, like eco-flo lime, around the root zone. Its rich in calcium and you can easily dilute and apply the eco-flo lime using a watering can. Good luck fellow tomato growers!
