From our last Institute meeting:

 Notes from our speaker, Tom Sharples:

VEGETABLES

Basil Midnight - a bronze leaved trailing type for growing on it's own or with flowers in containers

Runner/French Bean crosses which can self pollinate if bees are not flying. Moonlight (white flowered), Firestorm (red flowered), Jackpot (Dwarf mixed flower colours for containers)

Tomatoes - Blight resistant types e.g Crimson Crush (standard size), Crimson Cocktail (cherry-type)

Aubergine F1 Scorpio - grafted type - very productive cropper

FLOWERS

Begonia Non-Stop mix, Impatiens Divine mix, French Marigold Zenith and Petunia Tidal Wave - these were examples of new breeding resulting in what are known as 'Mule' hybrids

'Mule' types do not set seed, but endeavour to do so right through the first frosts. Thus they are constantly producing new flowers to cover the fading ones. So no need to do all that 'dead-heading!

What’s On?

Blue sky, sun, blue sea….we have a great week ahead of us, Brixham WI members!

Monday: Walkers- 9.30 catching 12 bus to Paignton then catching 22 bus to near Anstey Cove and walking to Babbacombe.

Committee- meeting at 2pm

Tuesday: 10.30 coffee at Lupton House café

Thursday: morning swim at the Admiral pool

Mindful colouring at 2pm

No coffee at the Berry Head Hotel this week, nor a walk next Monday as it is Easter!

 

Wow!

What a fantastic response from Devon WIs for the South West Children’s Hospice stand at the craft fair in Exeter!
