DECEMBER 2018
a month of goodwill
by Jan Lubbe
D ecember is a month of goodwill. A time to usually slow down and reflect on
the year past. I believe we should think how grateful we should be for the
privilege to have a house/flat/room and to be taken care of during our senior
years. To enjoy the company of our neighbours and of all residents in Rynpark. To
be thankful to the members of our Board and the selfless work they are doing. We
thank our Executive Manager, Management staff and all other members of staff
for their dedicated work and guidance to us. Let us also show our goodwill and

appreciation to all contractors and their staff for services such as food, security,
gardens, cleaning, alterations, etc. Thanks to Carol for our monthly This & That, to
the ladies of Toeka, to all residents helping in the libraries and during functions,
to all members of park committees and to buddy group leaders. To all you “silent
workers” who make our stay so pleasant, a great hug! Let us all be positive and
keep Rynpark the wonderful place where we all belong.
Have a good look at the photo of the knitted Nativity scene, made by Arina
Lubbe, and be grateful for the grace it brought us. Have a blessed Christmas and a
wonderful New Year!

NEXT MEETING–Christmas Party

There will be no meeting in January
YOUR GARDEN IN DECEMBER– We have had very little rain and some intense heat,
but our gardens are looking lovely and well cared for. In November we had an
interesting talk by Margaret Darby on Natural Gardening. She gave us the recipe
for her compost mix which you can dig into your garden at the end of July and
end of January. Recipe: 8 parts Lucerne (rabbit food in pellets), 1 part lime, 1 part
volcanic dust, 1 part bonemeal.
TIPS FOR THIS MONTH
• Check on climbers and train them onto trellises or neaten up the tendrils and
shoots. If they are not full of buds, nip off some of the ends of the shoots to
encourage a denser look and to create more flowering points for the next
flowering season.
• Prune jasmines, banksia roses, spiraeas and other Spring flowering shrubs,
climbers etc. after they have flowered.
• Prune ivy geraniums after a first flower flush. Keep on feeding regularly to
encourage another flower flush.
• Hydrangeas brighten up shady areas. Plant colour annuals in between with
impatiens, begonias and browali. Hydrangeas love dappled shade, rich loamy
soil and a great deal of water. If you want to grow them in pots, place them on
the south side of the house for early morning sun and afternoon shade.
• A petite and huge blooming beauty is the dwarf inca lily. These plants are
magnificent for the garden and suitable to grow in containers as well, as they
reach a height of only 30-35 cm. They flower profusely from Spring to Autumn.
They can be found in a wide range of bright colours. They can be picked as long
lasting cut flowers – just like their taller family members.
This stunning row of azaleas were
in full bloom in October, in RP6.
In Chinese culture, the azalea is
known as “thinking of home bush”
(sixiang shu), and is immortalized in
the poetry of Du Fu.
The azalea is also one of the
symbols of the city of São Paulo,
Brazil.
