OCTOBER IN THE GARDEN
A
s more people become aware of the environment and humans’ impact on it, there is a burgeoning group of South Africans who want to know which trees are growing in various areas across the country, not only by name but by the countless jewels of information that make each species unique. There’s an app for that – TheTreeApp. Developed by Val Thomas and a team of highly skilled and diverse professionals, the app has been called “the Google of tree search engines”. It can be used on any recent smart phone or tablet, enabling users to search for specific trees; or to get an idea of what trees are growing in the region they happen to be in. Says Thomas: “Indigenous trees in South Africa are our passion. We have created the ‘go-to’ place for information, alongside a simple but comprehensive search system to identify them. And it is accessible to everyone from primary school learners to tree experts.” To learn more about the project and where to download the app, visit our website www.thewhatson.co.za or follow the QR link below.

IN THE VEGGIE GARDEN THIS MONTH
Here is a guide of easy-to-grow veggies to sow and plant now: Carrots – sow seeds directly several times from spring to autumn to ensure a continuous harvest. The soil must be cultivated deeply to make it loose and friable. Lettuce – keep on planting oak and loose leaf lettuce seedlings – available in trays from your local nursery. Spinach – plant a few rows of spinach every few weeks to ensure a continuous supply. Tomatoes – plant seedlings from your nursery. Tomato seedlings should be planted deeper than they originally grew in their nursery trays. The plants will be more anchored and sturdier and roots will develop along the buried portion of the stems. Pinch off the lower leaves when you plant them. 15 October is National Garden Day OCTOBER 2017 | To Advertise: Contact Rentia: 079 594 2267

What’s On @
the Galleries ANN BRYANT GALLERY:
1-6 Oct. La vie que j’ai choisie: The Life that I have chosen by Karen Gray Harvey Ardèche and Paris. Supported by Alliance Francaise of East London. Her first photographic exhibition, The life that I have chosen, is a collection of black and white photographs taken in Ardeche and Paris, France. The exhibition is a snippet from a collection of photographs taken earlier this year in preparation for a book celebrating several artisans who through choice, continue to work using traditional tools and methods rather than modernizing. During the interviews and conversations that took place, a common thread began to emerge – that of each artisan making a conscious choice for a life which had at its center, an intimate connection with nature and a simplicity of living. The exhibition seeks to show the differences in the connections between people when they choose live in different settings. The photographs juxtapose the simplicity and warmth of rural life with the sophistication, elegance and separation within cities. 9 St Mark Rd, Belgravia. 043 722 4044. FLORADALE FINE ART GALLERY: The current exhibition will continue in October with new work to take the place of works which have come down. We can assure you of work of our usual standard of quality work with some interesting style changes. Contact: 043 740 2031. Monday to Saturday 10am – 3pm. Sunday opening times: by appointment.

I
n the heart of East London, easily accessible to all, lies one of our city’s hidden treasures. The Nahoon Estuary Nature Reserve, situated on the Beacon Bay side of the Nahoon River, really does provide food for the soul.
The ground, proclaimed as a reserve, is owned by Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality and is subject to the rules of the Department of Nature Conservation. The ‘Friends of the Nahoon Estuary Nature Reserve,’ known as Nahooners, an association formed in 2000, are dedicated to the preservation and care of the reserve. The delightful Dassie Trail is short and level, making it well-suited for family outings. It starts at the Visitor Centre (which also has a quaint bird hide) and proceeds through a forested section before opening up on a wide vista of mud flats lined with mangrove trees. A 500 meter-long boardwalk, made from recycled plastic, forms the main part of the trail. From here one may delight in the pristine estuarine environment, representative of the bigger river systems in the area. Informative sign boards and tree labels along the route add to the
experience, informing you about estuarine dynamics, bird life (at least 202 species of birds have been recorded), fish, mangroves and the riparian forest (wooded area of land adjacent to a body of water). The first part of the route takes one to the eastern end of the reserve where a small sandy beach and views to the river mouth can be enjoyed. This spot is impressively framed by high sandstone cliffs the product of millions of years of erosion. Then, to get back to your car, take the Forest Walk ... a shaded, cool and protected area of sand forest. Deer droppings and nibbled leaves reveal the presence of abundant bushbuck, and blue duiker often dart back and forth. A few tortoises are recent additions to the reserve. Plan to spend at least an hour or two doing the trail (especially the forested bit). If you are a keen birder, plan to spend a lot longer, particularly in the summer months, when waders are plentiful. Tread gently as you explore this area, break nothing, be careful to leave no refuse, and if you see any, please pick it up and dispose of it in bins provided.

Fresh Spring Rolls
What You Need (Serves 6) 1 large garlic clove, smashed 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 teaspoon Thai green curry paste 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1/4 cup chopped coriander 1/4 cup chopped mint 1/3 cup mayonnaise 4 cups coleslaw mix 2 cups of either shredded roast chicken, ready-cooked prawns or tuna depending on your preference. 24 rice paper wrappers (Spargs in Beacon Bay stocks these wrappers)
Method In a mortar, pound the garlic to a paste with the brown sugar and green curry paste. Add the lime juice, fish sauce and three tablespoons of water. Stir in half of the coriander and mint. In
a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with one tablespoon of the green curry dipping sauce. In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with the roast beef and the remaining cilantro and mint. Fill a pie plate with warm water. Dip two or three rice paper wrappers at a time in the water, then set them on a work surface to soften, about one minute. Spread a scant teaspoon of the curry mayonnaise on the bottom third of each wrapper and top with a scant three tablespoons of the filling you’ve chosen (tuna etc.). Roll the wrappers into tight cylinders, tucking in the sides as you go. Transfer the rolls to a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers, curry mayonnaise and filling. Just before serving, cut each roll in half and serve with the dipping sauce.
