Ring Harry on 48447061 to donate your time or just turn up. Our last club meeting was held at Johnno's Shop. The new owners are friendly and make great burgers with the lot. Coffee is good too. In our garden we are still picking a few tomatoes each day and every now and then the odd zucchini. The pumpkins, cucumber and watermelons did no good, probably due to lack of water and some very hot days. Our next job in the veggie garden is to remove the abundant weeds ready for the winter vegetables. Before we plant we test the soil PH, add Lime or Cow Manure and let it settle/rest before planting. We use one litre clear plastic cordial bottles with the bottom cut off to plant our cabbage, kale and broccoli seeds under. Two seeds or more are planted and if both grow only then we transplant. The bottles act as a miniature hot house and at the same time keep the snails and most bugs away. Harry Simm Secretary Windellama Garden Club Inc. Craft @ Windellama Hall We meet from the second Tuesday of the month 1—4 pm. For more information please call Irene Turner on 48445 214.

Three of our members responded to a call for help from our Goulburn Unit due to the severe storm that went through Goulburn just recently. Litter in guttering caused some problems, so please keep that in mind. Water for the SES/ Fire for the RFS. Four of our members who have offered to be trained as CFR members, (Ambulance Trained), this will help us greatly. They are younger people too which gives us oldies a bit of help. We are seeking help from the people of Windellama, in particular, to help in the organization of our Country Fair and Auction day on the 6th of April.
