how to grow tomatoes Are you yearning to grow your own tasty juicy tomatoes? It is easy to grow with some guidelines, and amazing to harvest and eat. Luckily you can grow your own tomato plants anywhere.

With sufficient sunlight, water and patience tomato plants go a long way and you’ll get your expectations. That is all you have to do to get your tomato plant growing.

PLANTING The ideal position for tomato plants is in full sun, protected from strong winds. Prepare the soil before planting by digging in some organic matter then water in thoroughly using a liquid fertiliser. Ease the seedlings out of the container and plant them at the same soil level as they were in the punnet.

Water in the seedlings immediately after planting. Plants requiring staking should be planted at least 1 metre apart. Bush type tomatoes should be planted 50cm apart.

STAKING Most tomato plants benefit from staking to encourage fruiting. It is best to stake early while the plant is young and to

ensure a nice straight stem. The best plant ties are made from a soft material as they won’t cut into the stems as the plants grow. Any type of support structure may be used.

FEEDING Tomatoes require regular feeding. Apply granule fertiliser, supplemented with a soluble or liquid fertiliser regularly at recommended rates.

WATERING Regular watering is more effective than frequent light sprinkles. To prevent disease occurring avoid watering the foliage. Early morning around the base of the plant is the most beneficial method.

GROWING IN POTS Nearly all tomatoes may be grown successfully in pots although the larger varieties need large deep tubs (5060cm) with good staking or support.

Compact varieties such as San Marzano and Mama’s Delight are ideal for smaller pots and great for small areas.

Don’t forget to water and fertilise your potted tomatoes as pots dry out more quickly.

Also look for compact varieties such as Tumbler Red, Tumbler Yellow, Patio Roma and Pot Tomato in the Floriana Patio Harvest range.

For best results always use a quality Australian Standards potting mix.

how to re-pot plants Your soil is degrading, roots tightly packed within the pot or protruding from drainage holes and you have water sitting on the soil surface too long after watering. It is time for re-potting.

SAFETY Always keep tools and materials away from children. Be cautious when using the knife or pruning shears/secateurs.

should be white or light-coloured. Black, dark-coloured, or foul-smelling roots are usually signs of a serious problem, such as fungal disease.

REMOVE THE PLANT Take the plant out of the pot. Before removing from the pot, water the plant thoroughly for a few hours before the process. If the pot is extremely dry, soak in a bucket of water for a few hours to ensure the root ball is wet through.

CHOOSE YOUR TOOLS Hand secateurs are good for small to medium thick branches. Long-handled loppers or a pruning saw may be needed for thick older branches. Make sure you wear rose gloves with long sleeves to protect your hands and arms.

SMALL POTS Small pots that are easy to manage, simply tap the rim of the pot few times upside down covering the soil with your hand. Larger plants can be laid on their side and tapped with a rubber mallet around the pot until the root ball loosens from the container, then slide the plant out for inspection.

A plant ready for repotting should slide out with the soil in one piece. If much of the soil falls free of the roots, the plant may not need repotting. If it does, there may be a solid soil-and-root mass in the shape of the just removed pot. Roots

TRIM THE ROOTS Tightly packed roots don’t absorb nutrients efficiently, therefore to promote good nutrient absorption, trim the roots and loosen up the root ball before replanting. Cut through any roots growing in a circular pattern to help prevent the plant from strangling itself with its own roots as it grows.

If the roots are thick along the sides of the root ball, shave or peel away the outer layer or gently untangle the root ball with your fingers. Do this along the top edge of the root ball too. Use a sharp knife or pruning shears for this job,

removing as much as the bottom third of the root ball if necessary.

RE-POTTING Choose a larger pot that the plant will easily fit in and have room to grow. Add a few inches of potting mix and place the plant into the pot so that the top of the root ball sits about an inch below the pot rim. If the plant sits above the rim, remove and repeat with less potting mix in the pot. Add potting mix around the plant, compacting so that it sits upright and the pot is tightly packed.

MAINTENANCE Finally, trim the plant’s foliage relative to how much the roots were pruned. A rule to follow is if you removed a third of the roots, prune off a third of the top growth as well. Water the plant thoroughly and keep it moist, shaded and cool until it is re-established.

HINTS AND TIPS Potting mix is used in preference to garden soil as it ensures adequate drainage and aeration.

the lost art of happiness H

appiness seems so simple on the surface and yet more often than not it’s the most elusive thing in the universe. A survey done by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, shows that on a level of Life Satisfaction only 12% of people surveyed said they were “Delighted” with life and a further 35% said that they would consider themselves “Mostly Satisfied”. This seems very disappointing considering we live in the “Lucky Country”.

Many of us are striving to get happier, within our own skin and within our own lives. Now I know that happiness is made up of a few components such as Environment, Government, and Finances just to name a few. But at the core when we strip all of those things away and we are left just as a singular human being full of light and energy on a cellular level what makes us truly satisfied and happy?

A team of Scientists were commissioned to find out if general happiness had a formula – What they found was indeed

it did have a formula, and surprisingly what we think on a day to day level that would make us happy such as a new house, car, jet ski, in fact these items make up a very small component of our happiness.

In a basic percentage structure the “Happiness Formula” = 50% is your bodies own set point for happiness, where you are content & comfortable with everything as it is in your life.

10% is conditions of living, shopping, consumer goods, and lifestyle.

40% is voluntary actions and choices you make in life. For example if you choose to be happier then in turn you will seek out ways in your life that will increase your happiness.

So what if we are down in the dumps and want to boost our happiness?

Really at the core of it, happiness stems directly from gratitude. Most people forget to be grateful for what they have got or for what they have been through to make them who they are today. If

we allow ourselves to really focus on one thing that we are grateful for and we sit in that moment of thinking how grateful we are and feel the feeling that gratitude gives us, that is our personal Happiness. So ultimately to be happier we need to be more grateful and fall in love with feeling gratitude on a regular basis.

The 5/2 diet: is it good for your body?

A

guy called Jesus once fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, and for centuries before and since, people have used fasting to enhance their spiritual and physical health. Most animals instinctively go off their food when they feel out of sorts, but for most humans the idea of giving up tucker is a hard one to swallow. Everyone’s talking about intermittent fasting, but what effect does it have on your body?

WHAT IS A FAST? A true fast involves abstaining from all food and drink other than water, and it lasts up to several weeks. However, the latest “next big thing” is the intermittent 5:2 fasting diet, in which you restrict your calorie intake to 25 per cent of your RDI (recommended dietary intake) for two days a week, and eat a normal diet for the remaining days. The fasting days can be consecutive, or not, and you choose when and what you eat, as long as you remain within the calorie allowance. The

10

homesguideliving

average Australian adult consumes 2000 calories or 8700kJ a day, so 25 per cent of that would be 500 calories or 2175kJ. THE FAT EQUATION Many people find the 5:2 diet works a treat because other than feeling peckish and possibly irritable on the fasting days, they don’t need to concern themselves with dieting for the rest of the week. For weight loss the benefit of the 5:2 diet is simply a mathematical equation: Eat less calories than the body requires for its daily metabolic needs, and fat will be burnt to provide the deficit. Happy days.

WHEN IT DOESN’T WORK For people with blood sugar levels that oscillate between too high and too low, not eating for several hours will cause blood sugar levels to plummet, creating hypoglycaemic symptoms, which means that fasting days will be fraught with moodiness, headaches, dizziness, poor concentration and nausea. Also, less

www.homesguide.com.au

disciplined people may be tempted to gorge on the non-fasting days and eat foods such as cakes, chips and pies that are best avoided in any healthy diet.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU? There’s no single fix-all diet that will suit everyone. Personal preference, lifestyle, home and work routine, and genetic predisposition all play their part in what works best for your body. The 5:2 diet might tick all the right boxes for some people who may find losing and maintaining a healthy weight a breeze (they may also experience other benefits, such as reducing their risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers).

However, this diet isn’t recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children or teenagers and people with diagnosed diabetes. If you suffer from a chronic illness, check with your GP to ensure this diet is OK for you.

alcohol and its impact on your fitness Why is the fitness industry as a whole so anti-alcohol? Isn’t there any room for a drink or two at major events?

What kind impact does that really have?

The fitness industry’s anti-alcohol stance is due, in large part, to the (lack of) nutritional content contained in booze.

Ethanol, the type of alcohol found in drinks, has toxic metabolic byproducts called acetaldehyde and acetate. Both by-products help create that queasy nauseous feeling you get when you’ve put a few too many back.

Chronic ingestion of alcohol can also mess with your digestion, making it difficult for your body to absorb nutrients like amino acids and B vitamins, and impairs protein synthesis. One study also suggests that 2-3 beers per day can lower one’s testosterone levels.

Alcohol consumption can also mess with a carefully planned-out diet. Many alcoholic drinks are calorically very dense and packed with sugar. If you’re mixing your alcohol with things like energy drinks or juices from concentrate, or even having a few glasses of wine, you are giving yourself a sugary rush with each sip. Let’s also not forget that alcohol totally impairs your judgment.

www.homesguide.com.au

Those late night post-bar pizza runs can’t be too good for your summer beach body.

However, if users are able to practice some moderation with alcohol, a drink or two on occasion will not effectively poison your body and make you overweight. There are some studies that suggest moderate alcohol consumption can provide health benefits.

Much has been made of the hearthealthy components of a glass of red wine, but did you know that moderate beer consumption can improve your immune response and can reduce harmful C-reactive proteins (linked to heart disease)? All in all, alcohol is harmful when overdone. It can mess with your digestive system, liver, and diet. But if done within moderation and with clear judgment, it can be beneficial, and of course a ton of fun.

the 21st blue mountains winter magic festival Saturday 21st June 2014 Katoomba, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. wintermagic.com.au The Winter Solstice has been celebrated by civilisations ancient and new over millennia.

Often concealed beneath myth, elaborate artifice and tradition, at its core it is a physical event.

The Winter Solstice marks the commencement of winter and the journey back towards warmth and the promise of Spring. It is a moment of renewal and promise.

For the mountains it has a particular significance.

Winters in the mountains really are cold. As a result, our celebration is somewhat more energetic and emphatic than you might find on the plains. It is also a time when the main street of one of Australia’s most famous towns, Katoomba, is handed back to the community. A time

16

homesguideliving

when artists and buskers, dancers and drummers, singers and snake handlers, jugglers and gymnasts, musicians and mass choirs take over the town.

It is a time of renewed friendships and family reunions as parents and grandparents, children and friends return to celebrate our community’s big event. And most importantly it is a time for new friendships which is why we’d like to share the experience with you.

The Winter Solstice in 2014 is June 21st, 8:51pm AEST. Winter Magic is the Blue Mountains highest profile and most anticipated annual event. The Blue Mountains is NSW inaugural City of the Arts and Katoomba is the heart of that city. It is the weekend when artists, musicians, dancers, drummers, choirs, stalls and community take over one of Australia’s most famous towns.

www.homesguide.com.au

During the event, the main street of Katoomba is closed to motor traffic and open to pedestrian traffic. This allows the whole town to become a performance space.

The streets are lined with market stalls and everybody who attends is encouraged to dress in costume.

Unlike many Festivals run by Chambers of Commerce and Councils, this event is run by community. It has a strong local focus and very wide general appeal.

The setting is a town sitting on a narrow ridge and bound north and south by a World Heritage listed National Park.

The festival itself is free, however some activities charge a fee.

The main act closing out this year’s festival with be the very fabulous ‘The Crooked Fiddle Band.

Please come and join the celebration of Winter Solstice with us at the Blue Mountains Winter Magic Festival.

funthingstodo homesguide 2014 WINTER MAGIC PERFORMERS THE CROOKED FIDDLE BAND This mesmerising and fiery acoustic 4-piece delivers high-energy futurefolk. Celtic energy. Swamp-stomping hoedown. Dance-inciting mayhem.

Hardcore gypsy passion!

The Crooked Fiddle Band are based in Sydney, Australia, and formed in 2006 through their mutual love of the energy and intensity of various traditional world music.

Whilst writing and arranging, they discovered that this energy was shared by the other music they love.

There seems to be a common thread between the frenetic accompaniment of gypsy, klezmer and punk rock; between the twisting rhythms of mathmetal and balkan folk; between the clear tonalities of Scandinavian folk, Celtic folk, and cinematic post rock.

All these influences went into the mix, but what came out was The Crooked Fiddle Band.

SKA’D 4 LIFE Ska’d 4 Life are a seven piece skarock/punk band based in the Blue Mountains.

They play both covers and originals.

Their covers include Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, The Cat Empire and more.

Consisting of a four piece rock band and a three piece brass section. Their music is very upbeat and always gets people dancing.

MUSIC OF JOY Music of Joy is a unique, multicultural band based in Sydney, Australia. The magic of the group comes from the dynamic energy produced when over twenty musicians, with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, join together with one common goal - to share the most joyful and uplifting music.

The band’s repertoire is as vast and diverse as its members, transcending cultural boundaries and ranging from traditional Indian bhajans through to

melodic Chinese and Russian folk songs as well as rhythmical African harmonies and of course the music of Australia itself. The music of the band will will bring smiles onto faces and will make people dance.

SIDESHOW ANNIE This Circus of musicians magically weave slide, electric guitar & harp with a good solid groove.

Classified as roots rock with threads of blues and country. Fronted by the flamboyant Gillian Reynolds who’s voice is as smooth as silk and at times as rough as an uncut diamond, this five piece original roots/rock band should be seen, always heard and never missed. Gillian has sung in various bands for years and has done voice over work for numerous ads and film.

She is a wonderful mimic as well as having her own style and voice. The songs she writes are about things she sees, everyday people and life in general. She is one powerful and dynamic front woman who is extremely theatrical and knows how to get an audience going. To see is to believe.

TEMPORARY RESIDENT Temporary Resident are a family band from the Blue Mountains Australia who love funky grooves and sweet harmonies!!

Temporary Resident consists of the siblings from 2 families. Members are Rachel (bass/vocals), David (guitar/vocals), Jason (guitar/lead vocals), Tim (DRUMSSS!!!!) and Josie (percussion/acoustic/lead vocals).

They started early this year (2014) with their first actually gig at Glenbrook Australia Day Festival, playing on the main-stage doing their own versions of happy festival vibe songs.

Since then they have started writing like crazy and now do sets consisting mostly of original material with a strong harmony based funky/pop/rock feel.

There will be many more great performers at the festival.

BELONGING A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION BY MARCELA VILAPLANA Until Sunday, 29 June 2014 galleryblackheath.com Photography by Gallery partner, Marcela Vilaplana: landscapes, still life and others examining the concepts of belonging and alienation.

Marcela Vilaplana is a Blue Mountains photographic artist. She has a tertiary degree in biological sciences from her native country, Costa Rica and studied Fine Arts at the Nepean Institute of Arts and Design, specialising in photography and printmaking.

Marcela’s conceptual framework gravitates around philosophies of change and impermanence. The methods she follows and the subjects of her photographs work together to reflect transitory and shifting states.

The understanding of the inevitability of this process creates a sense of longing and nostalgia that permeates her work.

The inspiration for Marcela’s images frequently arises from her surrounding environment and the changes in the local landscape. Memories and past experiences also contribute to the development of her work. She utilises both film and digital technologies.

Marcela has been part of the Gallery Blackheath artist’s collective since 2011. She has received numerous awards and her work can be found in private collections.

WINTER LIGHT art by Gerlinde Thomas Until 24 August 2014 penrithregionalgallery.org Bill Viola John Kaldor Family Collection Artist Room #2 – Bill Viola selected works by leading international video artist Bill Viola, exploring ideas of ritual and human experience. island6 art collective (Liu Dao) recent electronic art from Shanghai

www.homesguide.com.au

Image: Bill Viola, Incrementation

Established in 2006, island6 are a group of international artists, curators, art directors and technicians whose practice is underpinned by a philosophy of collaboration. Driven by innovation and interaction, island6’s electronic art reflects the pulse of the cosmopolitan megacity of Shanghai – a chorus of buskers, oracles, cops and commuters – in glowing lights and moving images.

Lasers and LED meet papercuts and teakwood in striking embodiments of the many moods, energy and eclecticism of an ever-changing city.

Colour and Light – Lewers Learning Centre examines the visual properties of colour and colour relationships in art as well as exploring the phenomena of colour and light from a scientific perspective. The exhibition will feature artworks that navigate colour as an essential part of their vocabulary as well as presenting

funthingstodo homesguide

science experiments that illustrate some of the properties of visible light and includes hands-on activities.

Sydney Ball – Loungeroom a selection of artworks by Australian abstract artist and colourist Sydney Ball, offering an insight into his extensive exploration and experimentation with colour.

James Cant – Ancher House showcasing sixteen artworks and selected archives from modernist artist James Cant, this exhibition celebrates the generosity of Barbara Otton.

Making a notable contribution to the Gallery Collection of modern art, The Otton collection of James Cant works and memorabilia presents a snapshot of Cant’s practice and adds to our understanding of the modern art movement.

TRUE SELF: DAVID ROSETZKY SELECTED WORKS 6 June – 27 July 2014 bathurstart.com.au A Centre for Contemporary Photography and NETS Victoria touring exhibition curated by Naomi Cass and Kyla McFarlane.

One of Australia’s finest video artists, David Rosetzky creates intensely beautiful lens-based works exploring identity, subjectivity and relationships.

Increasingly, he collaborates with professionals from the fields of theatre,

dance, film and sound. Drawing on fifteen years of practice True Self: David Rosetzky Selected Works presents early portrait and longer duration videos, photographs, photocollages and sculptures, revealing telling relationships between these aspects of his practice. It includes a major new video work Half Brother 2013, commissioned by CCP with support from Irene Sutton. The exhibition not only allows us to see the consistency of Rosetzky’s vision, but to engage with a trajectory in his video that moves from lo-fi, singular portraits that borrow advertising’s aura, through to cinematic, long-duration work.

VIVID FESTIVAL 2014 Until 9 June 2014 vividsydney.com This year, Vivid LIVE has commissioned award-winning international artists 59 Productions to create a new projected artwork for the sails of the Sydney Opera House, Vivid LIVE’s most public event. Lauded for developing ‘the most sophisticated use of film in the theatre to date’ (Metro) and creating ‘an entirely new art form’ (The Guardian), 59 Productions will now take the iconic building on a dramatic journey through time – from the birth of architecture and civilization through to the pinnacle of human and technological achievement.

Welcome to the best seats in the House for Vivid LIVE.

During Vivid LIVE the Sydney Opera House will offer an exciting range of entertainment and experiences, including VIVID-inspired menus, latenight live music, winter’s best popup bar and cafe scene, as well as bespoke guided tours.

Where to eat Sip a cocktail over a tasting plate to live music at Opera Bar; settle among the outdoor heaters at Opera Kitchen for fresh seafood, burgers and Asian cuisine; or visit our latest pop-up bar, café by day and restaurant by night.

You can also sample the fare from several food trucks on the Opera House forecourt and then explore the Vivid LIGHT installations. Or take in a delicious dinner at Bistro Mozart or refreshment at one of our many Theatre Bars before a Vivid LIVE show.

What to experience The Backstage Tour – Celebrating Vivid LIVE. For a limited time, go behind the scenes of Vivid LIVE. Travel with intimate groups through our famous theatres, step behind the curtains and on stage, and see our state-of-the-art recording studio and visit the scenery dock. You might even catch artists warming up for a Vivid LIVE performance, or chilling out in the Green Room. Complete the VIP experience with breakfast or dinner on the Western Broadwalk, overlooking Sydney Harbour.

dr jane goodall australian tour CELEBRATING HER 80TH YEAR LIVE SHOWS IN AUSTRALIA The Jane Goodall Institute Australia is pleased to announce the Australian Tour of Dr Jane Goodall DBE from May 31st to June 8th 2014. Dr Goodall will travel to Australia for three exclusive live shows, titled JANE GOODALL – CELEBRATING HER 80TH YEAR in Sydney, Melbourne and Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast.

A global icon of our time, Dr Goodall, once dubbed ‘the woman who redefined man’, has changed perceptions of primates, people, and the connection between the two. Over the past two decades however, Dr Goodall has become an international voice for much more, from climate change and habitat destruction to GMO food production and farming.

JANE GOODALL – CELEBRATING HER 80TH YEAR, is an once-in-a-lifetime experience to hear Dr Goodall talk through highlights of her amazing life and career. From catching the attention of the world (and National Geographic) as a young woman living amongst the chimpanzees in deepest Africa to travelling the globe for 300 days per year as a determined and passionate conservationist, humanitarian and UN Messenger of Peace.

“When I was a little girl, I wanted to be Jane Goodall. I still want to be Jane Goodall!”

- ANGELINA JOLIE

julien wilson quartet Their first album “This is Always” was named Best Australian Traditional Jazz Album in May at the Australian National Bell Jazz Awards

Saturday 14th June - 8.00pm Presbyterian Hall, 160 Macquarie Rd, Springwood, NSW liveatthevillage.com.au When the Julien Wilson Quartet performs at Springwood, June 14th, expect a night sparkling with the essence of a classic jazz quartet from the days of the 1960’s Parisian jazz bar.

Gorgeous jazz ballads like ‘Body and Soul’, ‘Deep Night’ and the title track from the Quartet’s first album ‘This is Always’ will feature, along with a few originals.

Melbourne saxophonist Julien Wilson has formed a dream team with legendry drummer Allan Browne, Sydney bassist Jonathan Zwartz and expat pianist Barney McAll. Their first album “This is Always” was named Best Australian Traditional Jazz Album in May at the Australian National Bell Jazz Awards – the academy’s of Australian jazz.

The band was also crowned the Best Australian Jazz Ensemble while Julien won the award for Best Australian Jazz Song. That’s three out of the seven gongs.

www.homesguide.com.au

Live at the Village is presenting the Quartet as part of a brief national tour while Barney McAll visits from New York. This is the second only appearance by the band, which formed last year.

Reviews of the album and performances at Wangaratta Jazz Festival last November are enthusiastic. “The band Wilson has chosen could scarcely be surpassed anywhere.” “An effortless depth of swing.” “One of the great jazz albums.”

“Julien is both subtle and magnificent.” “a level of maturity, and a storytelling quality that place him proudly in the lineage of such great tenor balladeers as Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Stan Getz and Joe Lovano.”

“It’s hard to believe we will have this exceptional band of musicians at Springwood” said Gary Daley.

With only one other performance in Sydney on this tour, Live at the Village is now firmly recognised on the national music scene.

Situated right in the heart of one of the best locations in the Mid Mountains, this block would be one of very few left in this area. This block is level and approx 834m2 in size, has all services, a 18m frontage and importantly would have a low BAL rating making it a cost effective block to build on, with the block being mostly grass - even clearing costs are at a minimum. The location is quiet yet still just minutes’ walk to transport, furthermore the entrance to “The Oaks” trail is nearby, giving easy access to National Park walks. If you are thinking of building in the Mid Mountains, this site is a must to consider.

Set in one of Lawson’s oldest streets, this older style home has been lovingly cared for over many years by the current owners. A recent extension has expanded the layout to a massive 4 bedroom home plus study with living area at the front of the home and a large rumpus room at the rear, incorporating internal access to a large oversized double garage complete with W/C and workshop. Key features include spa in ensuite, claw foot bath in main bathroom, polished floorboards, A/C, gas heating and a slow combustion fire. The 2436m2 block is one of the most impressive things about this property - it is level with expanses of grass and a concrete driveway right through to the back yard, making this setting ideal for kids and/or pets. With easy access to Lawson Village, this property is in great condition throughout.
