Hello to one and all -

Extreme weather all over the world is so stressful to read about but still we gardeners are lucky to have challenges and choices and the opportunity to start again.

It's a mindset that keeps me going and I stand in awe of what I see others achieving in gardens all over South Africa.

I hope this message finds you and your close families well-prepared for your celebrations and festivities and extended family encounters at this holiday time of the year. I guess some don't need to celebrate anything other than the holiday time available at the end of the year. Blessings to all who never go off duty and who are always there to lend a hand or do something at a moment's notice.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone, and WOW wishes for the next decade starting 2020!

I have missed so much but once more hope to catch up where I can. Please let me know how you are and if you have any specific topics you would like me to cover.

Cheers and best wishes to you.

Season's Greetings



For you, Lestie, the flower-like Ring Nebula
