The hot and windy weather has continued - as is to be expected in February in the Cape!
My young rooted cuttings (3 January) are taking strain and some have succumbed. A pity as I was hoping they would provide a couple of "Current Year" entries for the show. It's the chance you take with summer cuttings!!
The young Jhb plants are also not doing well. About 5 appear to be beyond help, and at least another five are taking strain, only a couple are looking good and strong. They have had a light Seagrow feed, so I'll just hang in there with them.
Not much to be done at present other than regular caterpillar patrols and careful watering - and a bit of hoping!!
Fuchsia of the Day
Cornielle B
She is a lovely full bloom that makes a beautiful basket. She does flower a little late, but her gorgeous pastel colours make her worth waiting for!
