This month we're celebrating gifts of the garden .

This month we're celebrating gifts of the garden ....
We’re planting … Coleus Volcanica Solar Flare because it’s the perfect plant for the festive season, with its heart-shaped red and burgundy leaves, edged with gold.
As for our indoor plant of the month ... this dwarf Capsicum Acapulco is irresistible with its glossy multi-coloured fruit. Pop it into a pot as a centrepiece for the Christmas feast table. It is also a super gift.
And of course we didn't forget about our greens with this Marog (Amaranthus tricolour) or Imbuya. It is an excellent hot, dry weather substitute for spinach. Leafy veggies generally don’t like the heat, but one that can handle it is our indigenous spinach.

Read more about what we're planting and the best tips to do it on the Get It Lowveld website (link in bio)

Going away? Before leaving check the irrigation system for blocked nozzles and make sure that automatic systems are set correctly.
Move plants in pots and hanging baskets out of the direct sun.
Fertilise flowering plants but if you are going away, delay until your return.
There is still time to sow marigolds, alyssum, California poppies, portulaca and nasturtiums.
Water early in the morning or late afternoon.
Pests are out in force. Use organic insect sprays when pests are noticed.

It’s a thrill a minute at this month's book club

It’s a thrill a minute at this month's book club with these adrenalin-pumping holiday reads!😉
📖Michael Connelly’s The Waiting sees an LAPD detective get a DNA hit on a 20-year-old cold case. The recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist. But the relative is the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight. Orion
📖In Framed, John Grisham teams up with Jim McCloskey (founder of the first US organisation dedicated to exonerating innocent people) to tell ten true stories of extraordinary cases that shine a light on miscarriages of justice. Hodder&Stoughton
📖In The House of Cross by James Patterson, Alex Cross is investigating a serial killer. It’s dangerous. But the heat’s turned up to the max when his wife Bree and best bud John Sampson, go missing. Now all he’s got to do is find Bree and John. Escape. Survive. Century
📖Loved The Last One At The Wedding by Jason Rekulak. Wicked twist! A father hasn’t had contact with his daughter for years, until she rings him to invite him to her wedding. She’s marrying into one of the richest families in the country, and Frank finds himself a little overwhelmed. And then concerned ... since not everything about this wedding, or the family, appears to be as it should be. Sphere
📖A retired man - loving his pub quiz, favourite bench, faithful cat. His daughter-in-law - a private security officer who thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. A dead body. A bag of money. A deadly enemy. And a breakneck race around the world. Richard Osman’s We Solve Murders is the first in what promised to be an exciting new series. Penguin
Orion Publishing Group Hodder Books Penguin Random House SA

Right up there at the top of our festive wish list is I Want Choo Le Parfum ... an intense and vibrant new perfume from Jimmy Choo. It’s daring and glamorous and sophisticated (as December party-time fragrances should be), a sumptuous and playful amber floral woody perfume, with vibrant, lifting top notes of pear, golden gardenia and blackberry followed with a creamy, warm heart with notes of jasmine, patchouli and ambrette, and rounded off with base notes of moss amber, sandalwood and praline accord.
☺️A rather evocative blend ... it's all about glamorous and memorable nights. From R1499 to R2799 from Edgars, Foschini, Truworths, Woolworths.
