We love the theme for this year’s Spar Women’s<br />
Virtual Challenge, which was inspired by the<br />
incredible fortitude our country has shown over the<br />
past 18 months. The theme is #LiveLimitless and the<br />
race takes place on 4 <strong>Sep</strong>tember around the country.<br />
Entries are already closed, but even if you missed the<br />
cut off, we still think you should lace up, get outside<br />
and get moving! All you have to do is walk, jog or run<br />
– any route, any distance and any pace – between 6am<br />
and 6pm on 4 <strong>Sep</strong>tember. Good luck if you’ve entered<br />
the official race – the Get It girls will be out and we can’t<br />
wait to see you on the road!<br />

Happy Heritage Day! Today we celebrate our<br />
beautiful, colourful nation and the phenomenal<br />
melting pot of cultures that makes us, us. Whatever<br />
your background, we urge you to take a moment to<br />
recognise how unique and incredibly special it is to call<br />
yourself a South African.<br />

Happy Spring Day! What better way to kick off the new season than<br />
by planting some beautiful blooms? This month we’re planting<br />
Bidens ‘Golden Empire’ for its masses of golden daisy-like flowers<br />
that attract butterflies from mid-Spring through to mid-Autumn.<br />
The compact bushy plants (25cm high and wide) are useful as filler<br />
plants for garden beds, containers and hanging baskets. Bidens<br />
‘Golden Empire’ grows in all types of garden soil, in full sun. It is<br />
water wise and tolerant of urban pollution. It shows off best when<br />
massed together. It combines well with other plants when used<br />
in mixed containers and hanging baskets but needs more regular<br />
watering than garden grown plants. The fine, bright green foliage is<br />
also attractive. It tends to be a biennial that is at its best for only two<br />
years. Details: ballstraathof.co.za<br />

Dark ruby with a brilliant red<br />
tinge, offering sweet red plums<br />
and prunes on the palate with<br />
cherries lingering on the after<br />
taste. Inspired by Cape Town’s<br />
seafront promenade, this truly<br />
South African wine rewards an<br />
unhurried approach with<br />
lingering complexity on both<br />
nose and palate.<br />

This Cabernet shows lots of<br />
red fruit and crushed herbs<br />
on the bouquet. The palate<br />
follows with ripe cranberries<br />
and just enough tannin to give<br />
the typical Cabernet<br />
“backbone”.
