ACHING FEET

FEET ACHING? You bit off more than you could chew with the last marathon. Help is at hand in the garden - in fact, all over Knysna.  Agapanthus leaves give cool relief when wrapped round sore feet or stuffed into shoes.

SUMMER’S  HERE! After an absence all winter, Pamela Puffadder slithered her slinky way across the parking lot, coming close to being flattened by the Chairman’s silver tank. Place palms together, as if in prayer, then swing hands as far apart as possible from wrists. This will give you the dimensions of her jaw if fully extended to take her revenge.

Dear Friends,

This is the Green Wood-orchid that flowered last spring. Sadly the wind has broken all three our specimans at the bases. They were rather tall and preparing to flower again. Hopefully they will reshoot next summer. If anyone knows where I can get hold of some young, healthy plants, please let me know.

Regards, Jill D
