JULY IN THE GARDEN
Temperatures have been steadily dropping, and thankfully there have been a few days of decent rain.
July is perhaps the one month in the year that the garden requires the least amount of human involvement, both food gardening as well as flowering plant gardening. The list of plants to plant during July is the shortest list of all the months in the year.
PROPERTY MARKET RECOVERY
COVID-19 lockdown may have certainly slowed the property market down as showing property was not allowed, but early indications suggest that a full recovery is likely soon.
Initial predictions regarding the future of the residential property market as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown have painted a sombre picture but it seems that it was only a prediction.
