We\u2019re planting \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Roses, because October is rose month, and this is the perfect opportunity to plant a new rose that celebrates the world-renowned South African opera singer Pretty Yende. Like its namesake, \u2018Pretty Yende\u2019 (LUDkrilbaP) is a powerful performer, with classically beautiful blooms of soft apricot-yellow that exude a delicate perfume. This South African bred rose by Ludwig Taschner is a strong growing hybrid tea rose with glossy green disease-resistant leaves. The long lasting blooms don\u2019t fade in the sun, making this an ideal garden and picking rose for the home.<\/p>\n Details: ludwigsroses.co.za<\/em><\/p>\n Veggie of the month<\/strong><\/p>\n Tomatoes are by far and away our most popular summer veggie. But did you know that the classic Italian plum tomato – \u2018San Marzano\u2019 (RAW seed) – is considered by many chefs to be the best in the world? Its skin is an intense red and peels off easily, and the flesh is firm and almost seedless. For the juiciest fruit, grow these tomatoes in full sun, spaced 50cm apart.

So an exceptional choice for indoors, and especially in bedrooms. Such plants refresh the air and help us to get a better night\u2019s sleep. With their graceful, feathery foliage Areca palms can be used as an indoor feature plant throughout the home, even in bathrooms. They like bright, high light and watering when the surface of the potting soil starts to dry out, but don\u2019t let them stand in water.
