The elves have been busy… from a few small succulent leaves collected at Rosebud Country Club to this beautiful pot. Trained and pruned to look like a bonsai tree.

Once the Carnations take root I will propagate more and start another pot. The flowers are very colourful – growing in masses but quite fragile. I only spray this with a water bottle once a week the rest is done by the elves. I also watered the seedlings in the mini green house as the weather has been dry and a hot 32 degrees some days. I have sprayed some vinegar solution on and around basil but it really has has had no effect except for the aroma of vinegar.

I might need to get some advice and try an eco-friendly spray. We’ll see what the experts recommend. Nonno said Windex works…. what? … Windex the solution to all of life’s problems according to my dad. LOL!
