So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

By Sharon Porter

Fertilizer and Compost

By Kent Higgins

March can be the worst or the best month of the year in the Midwest! Sometimes spring sets in during March, with little freezing weather thereafter. At other times, I have seen frosts in June, even in the area. near the Great Lakes.

All this makes any gardening program an uncertain proposition. At least it calls for great flexibility. If the weather takes a favorable turn, be ready to spread fertilizer, compost, etc., and dig the vegetable garden. Provident gardeners usually prepare a small part of this plot in fall, so that the earliest crops, like peas, can be planted, even if they must be "mudded in." Except for the a few varieties there is little use planting peas after April 1st.

Dont hesitate to do a little gambling. I recall how years ago, inexperienced gardeners planted string beans in March. They were laughed at by old-timers, but the laugh was on the other side of the mouth when these early plantings came through and produced a crop weeks before the experts saw a pod.

Try an experimental planting during March, at least in sections near the Ohio River. It pays off. The same is true of endive, which if not planted early, matures during summer heat and is bitter.

Be ready to apply dormant sprays for scale, on some day when the thermometer promises to stay above 40 for several hours.

If you have an extra supply, slip in a planting of gladiolus, setting these with 5 inches of soil over the tops. These should give you your earliest blooms. They are more resistant to cold than you think.

Beware of your lawn. The worst enemy lawns have is soil compaction, and rolling increases this condition. Where earthworm casts and frost heaving have made the surface rough, a very light rolling with an unweighted roller is the only thing needed. Dont try to correct big irregularities by mashing the lawn flat. Most gardeners make the seasons first application of fertilizer to lawns, gardens and shrub borders in March. This should be an inorganic plant food, since organic lawn fertilizer are not soluble, and wont start feeding until later in the spring.

If you start tomato seedlings indoors, plan to sow seed eight weeks ahead of the date they are normally planted outdoors.

Feed the asparagus bed as early as possible to increase the size of the spears.

Uncover perennial borders and strawberries, gradually. Take the top layer of covering off the rose beds, but dont remove too much.

Repot house plants so they can take advantage of increased light to make new growth.

South of the Great Lakes, pansies can be set out during favorable weather. Better wait until the first week in April north of that area.

Start caladiums and tuberous begonias now. Start up tubers of dahlias if you make cuttings.

If the soil has thawed, dig up old plants of hardy chrysanthemums and divide into single-stem divisions. Replant these about 12 inches apart.

Turn the compost heap at the first opportunity, returning unrotted material to start a new pile. This "seeds new material with the necessary bacteria to start the rotting process.

Dont rush out the first fine day and work until dusk! Take it easy.

Pennsylvania SR22

By Donald Carlston

Like most states, Pennsylvania takes DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or drunk driving quite seriously. An offender can expect to face not only the immediate suspension of one's driver's license, you can also look forward to some very high fines or penalties worth at least a thousand dollars. An SR22 Pennsylvania auto insurance policy is also needed before the reinstatement of your driving privileges can be started.

Pennsylvania has three categories or tiers when it comes to charging someone with a DUI: General Impairment (Tier 1) is describe as a DUI arrest where the driver has a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) anywhere from .08% up to .099% but without any resulting damages to properties. High rate of Blood Alcohol (Tier 2) with BAC levels of .10% to .159% and with resulting damages to properties or personal injuries. Tier 3 is of course a DUI with the highest BAC level measure (.16% and up), if you refuse to submit to a BAC test you may automatically be charged with a Tier 3 DUI offense.

Get in touch with your State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office to settle the necessary fines or penalties immediately. After which, your next priority is to find a suitable SR22 Pennsylvania auto insurance provider to file the SR22 Form for you to the DMV. This is a special kind of auto insurance policy specifically for people with high-risk driving offenses (such as a DUI).

The SR22 Pennsylvania auto insurance policy is the state's way of monitoring mandatory auto insurance compliance among those drivers with unsatisfactory driving histories, which has the most potential to cause an auto accident. Anyone falling under this category should be financially capable of compensating for personal injuries and destruction of properties, if they cause an auto accident.

Always maintain continuous SR22 insurance coverage for the next three years. Allowing your SR22 Pennsylvania auto insurance to lapse or get canceled would not only smear your driving record, it would also mean more severe penalties, higher premiums and the immediate suspension of your license.
