Plants are fortunate that they are growing growing in soil which will supply normal growth requirements since they are rooted in the soil and have a firm base to start with. So for plants to be healthy you must start off with a good soil base one that will hold the plant upright and one that will have enough drainage so that the excessive moisture will drain quickly. Most soils should have 3 ingredients. ingredients. One to keep some .moisture in the soil for proper proper plant growth and one to give the soil body so that the plant can stand up and the Health Council, and the Handicapped Handicapped Employment Program, Program, Ministry of Labour, Registration fee is $10.00 which includes luncheon.

LU 2Y1 last one is enough aggregates so that water can move freely through (he soil. So a good all purpose mix for indobr plants would be 1 part soil, 1 part sand or perlite and then 1 part peatmoss. peatmoss. Today we have these mixes on the market allreadÿ mixed, bagged and ready to use so this can be another way to have good soil for your plants. Plants and specially foliage or tropical plants should never be overpotted. They should stay in a pot that is just large enough to support the top so that it does not fall over. Plants in too large a pot will only produce roots and will take away the plant fobd from the top growth inhibiting inhibiting their growth. Now we come to the eating . or feeding habits since we have discussed what you have to start with a good base. All plants will grow better when they are fed on a regular basis either incorporate the plant food in the soil when prepar- 1 ing the soil or adding it afterwards. afterwards. Timing is very important. important. Most plants will grow very slowly from now until the middle of next March. Since the days are getting shorter and the photosynthesis photosynthesis or plant growth is regulated by the amount of daylight available. So during this period feeding should be cut in half from the regular feeding so if you feed your plants once every two weeks, do it now once a month or cut in half the amount you feed them. There are a large number of plant foods on the market some come in stickform that will slowly release their food as the plant needs it, some : come- as liquids and can be applied as drops to the soil. Some come in powder form that have to be dissolved in water, others are in prill form that will release their: food slowly over a period of time. These are called slow-release plant foods. The best plant food is the me that will be used by the plant immediately such as the powder or liquid form siriCe they will benefit the plant as you apply readily available so you can control the amount. Since as I mentioned before plants need different amounts at different times of the year. The problem with the slow release plant foods is . the salt build-up in the soil when the plant cannot absorb as much as is available and all kinds of problems arise. Problems Problems like yellow leaves, premature flower drop, blotching blotching of the foliage and ultimately plant failure. So again my advise is to use the one that you can control and this will give you healthy indoor indoor plants. Until Next Week, Happy Gardening!

Mel is a jock, a lover of good horseflesh and a sporting gentleman. He's an integral part of that pervasive pervasive breed, the Toronto Irish, and something of a saint, but that's another story. "Peter" says Mel. (He says your name a lot during a phone call.) "Peter, have you read today's today's Sun?" I hadn't, so Mel directed me to a piece by Dalton Camp. "Read it, Peter" says Mel. "A lot of those sportswriters, the guys who call Toronto Losersville don't even come from here, Peter." When,I read Camp's column, column, I saw what Mel meant. It was an outpouring of praise for Toronto the Good. Camp's thesis is that the performance performance of the Leafs, the Argos and the Blue Jays, and our wry acceptance of it, is an index of the city's maturity. Writes Camp: "If you're going to judge a city by the combined combined winning records of it's football, hockey, baseball and basketball teams, what you get is Philadelphia and you're welcome to it". I have always felt that blaming Toronto's Toronto's fans was unreasonable. Why, when judging the Leafs, for example, anyone feels it necessary to look 'beyond Harold Ballard, defeats me. Does anyone really believe that George Steinbrenner had nothing to do with 1 the Yankee's.lacklustre performance in the world series? It should be noted that Dalten Camp, like Toronto's sports- writing detractors, not only doesn't even come from Toronto, Toronto, hç doesn't live here either. Like me, he's a New Brunswicker. He finds it a hospitable and comfortable city to visit. I can vouch for the fact that it's a pleasant place to live, Us.well. It's not just that it's parks and restaurants are unsurpassed, or that it's the home of the Mendelssohn Choir, although those things are part of it. It's that Torontonians Torontonians know how to laugh at themselves. Proof of that perhaps, is the musical revue, "Toronto, Toronto", playing , night after night at the Dell dinner theatre, in the shadow of that other long-running revue, Queen's Park. You probably'won't probably'won't get a funnier or more perceptive look at what's wrong with the Argos than in one of Eljas Zarou's songs in "Toronto, Toronto". We.laugh at ourselves, and if we're being honest, we're grateful to be in on the joke. W.C. Fields admitted on his tombstone that he would rather be ' in Philadelphia, but that was only when compared to the hereafter. That's not news, but that too is reality.
