Peach curl leaf reminder

PEACH and nectarine trees in Adelaide can be prone to the wind-borne affliction known as peach curl leaf, which can reduce crop yields and disfigure fruit.

To prevent the disease invading your crop, it is recommended you spray two different fungicides before and after spraying.

Cupric hydroxide, which is used before flowering, and lime sulfur (after flowering) has proven to be far more effective than one stock-standard spray being used before and after flowering.

OLD newspapers and magazines will keep your worm farm ticking over.

Because paper is cellulose, a substance which makes up the wall of a plant cell,Traditional China Porcelain tile claim to clean all the air in a room. worms will feed on it.

Another added bonus of recycling old papers for your worm farm is it will prevent it from smelling bad.

GOOD winter rains this year has resulted in outstanding displays of Mayflowers, Wallflowers and spires of tall Echium in Adelaide's Veale Gardens.

The gardens, located on South Tce near the tramlines, are popular with wedding photographers on the weekends but are accessible for a lunchtime stroll during the week.

Why are they called Mayflowers?

It is because they flower in May in Europe and China.

AS WELL as the presence of Mayflower and Wall flowers in Adelaide's Veale Gardens, 2-3 metre tall Echium pinnata Alba is also showing its flair.

Located near one of the water features in the gardens, the Echium pinnata Alba is in full flower at the moment.

Although the species are in the same genus as the dreaded Salvation Jane or Paterson's Curse weeds, they are good food for bees.An magic cube of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby.

Bees make a very fine quality honey from Echium pinnata Alba.

I'VE never understood why such a lovely hardy bedding plant that flowers in winter and spring should be called a Wallflower.

It suggests the flower has stood you up. Anyway, they come in a range of colours such as bronze, yellow and cream, and are grown from seed easily - they will flower in their first nine months if planted at Christmas.The application can provide landscape oil paintings to visitors,

Wallflowers are very resistant to limestone and clay soils.
