SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Lemon

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"When I first arrived at SPCA, I spent a lot of time snoozing in my bed. I was grateful to have somewhere quiet and warm to relax.

I have met a few different dogs and have shown that I don't necessarily enjoy the company of other dogs. So would very much like a home as an only dog. I don't appreciate dogs jumping on me. I would much rather be curled up with my humans. I am looking for a home with older teenagers or adults, and a home where it's more quiet rather than a busy household. I walk well on leash, am toilet trained, and have had some basic training. I need a yard with at least 1.6m fencing. I have been learning to ignore the cat in my foster home which is going well. My new owner will need to be aware of my previous medical history which the team will provide to any applicants. If you think you can provide me with a suitable home, please click the enquiry button for me so the team can get in touch."

Growing Your Own Linen

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

Linen has been used for thousands of years for clothes, beding and furnishings. It is loved for its soft and cool feel. It is a very strong and durable material which will last much longer than other alternatives, like cotton.

It is loved for its soft and cool feel. It is a very strong and durable material which will last much longer than other alternatives, like cotton. Growing your own linen may see overwhelming, but it helps to break it down into manageable steps. 
 
Plant 1 kg. fibre flax seed in a 6m x 6m plot
One plot will give you enough fibre to make a shirt from line (long linen fibres) and tow to weave a couple of towels.  Your actual yield will depend on growing conditions, how well you weed the plot and how perfect your retting and hackling techniques are.
Broadcast the seed thickly, over well tilled ground and then walk on it to firm the seed in.

Weed it well about 4 weeks after planting.
Your flax will take about 2 weeks to germinate in a cool, wet spring.  When it reaches just over 5cm in height you should walk into the plot and weed it well.  You can step on the plants without damaging them when they are between 5cm and 30cm tall.

Admire the blue flax flowers as the linen grows
Once the bed has been weeded well, you can just admire it as it grows.  About 60 days from planting the flowers start to open.  It is very beautiful watching the blue flowers swaying in the breeze.  Each flower is open for only one day. Each stock produces several flowers and each flower turns into a seed boll with 6 to 8 seeds.


100 days after planting, harvest the flax
The stocks of flax will be 2/3rds yellow and 1/3rd still green when it is ready to harvest.  The flowering will be finished and each slender flax plant will have 4 to 6 seed bolls.  You harvest the flax by hand, by pulling each plant out by the roots.  Toss the weeds and place the stems of flax in order.  Tie into bundles (shooks) about 30cm across, using strong twine.
