Saturdays On the Radio





Todays program (October 10th)was all about how to get involved with Enviroweek. Register by going to http://www.coolsydney.net.au/ or http://www.enviroweek.org/
It's all happening today at Lane cove, Burns Bay road (october 11th) with their Village Fair.
Todays Plant of the week is Bauhinia variegata or Orchid tree. Great for small back yards as it only grows to 5 t0 6 metres and you can cut the flowers for a vase.
My Vegetable Hero is the chilli. 100 grams of Chilli provides you with a weeks worth of vitamin C! But if you're growing it, it needs a minium night temperature of 16 degrees C to set fruit.
Keep listening to Sydney Garden Talk on 2RRR 88.5 FM, Saturdays 12 noon- 1pm
Tomato Fungus fighter recipe:Mix fat-free milk with water in a 1:1 ratio and apply it using a spray bottle. Spray directly onto the clean leaves of your tomatoes. The solution coats the leaves and leads to the growth of an invisible fungus that frightens off black spot.
