We welcomed all to Clara Graham’s (pictured) garden for the July meeting. Suella Lanceley asked what gardening topics to discuss as some of our members are new to gardening in this area. One member had a problem with fruit not ripening. Probably the cooler weather. Suella also asked if anyone has had success planting by the moon. I have noticed that coleus cuttings root quicker when put in water, just after the new moon.
Marilyn suggested using a banana peel to polish the leaves of indoor plants.
Flower of the month was Azalea. Denise O’Mara had a beautiful selection. Results of competition was, 1st. Suella 22pts. 2nd 12pts. 3rd. Trish 10pts. Good to see new members entering some beautiful specimens. Thanks to Clara.
Next meeting is on Thursday August 17 at Gaylene Coppa’s garden at 9:30am. For more info- 5496 9169.
