If there's one thing I know, you can't control evil. You can lock it up, burn it, and bury it, and pray that it dies, but it never will. It just... rests awhile. You can lock your doors, and say your prayers, but the evil is out there... waiting. And maybe, just maybe... it's closer than you think! -Tommy Doyle, Halloween: The Curse of Michael MyersLike most people you probably see Halloween as a fun time where people scare each other and...more
Author: Abel JonesAs a home gardener, fall should be a very special time for you. Fall is the best season of the year for plant propagation, especially for home gardeners who do not have the luxury of intermittent mist. The technique that I am going to describe here can be equally effective for evergreens as well as many deciduous plants.The old rule of thumb was to start doing hardwood cuttings of evergreens after you have experienced at least two hard freezes. After two hard freezes the plants are completely dormant. However, based on my experience it is beneficial to start doing your evergreen cuttings earlier than that. So instead of doing "by the book" hardwood cuttings you're actually working with semi-hardwood cuttings. The down side to starting your cuttings early is that they will have to be watered daily unless you experience rain showers. The up side is that they will start rooting sooner, and therefore are better rooted when you pull them out to transplant them.To prepare an area in which to root cuttings you must first select a site. An area that is about 50% shaded will work great. Full sun will work, it just requires that you tend to the cuttings more often. Clear...more

Getting out the holiday decorations and deciding where to put them might seem like a calm errand. Nevertheless when it comes time to put everything away, you may feel awed. How should you manage them? Should you bowl some stuff away? How will you keep the decorations from breech? This paragraph will give you some good dreams on storing festival decorations so that they're complete to use next year.Label It - I honey to have garlands swagged down my stairs and over the windows, and I've combined shorter garlands to be just the right chunk for these areas. I've found that if I storeroom the garlands just as I've hung them, they're equipped to go up next year. I even place a red or pasty twist-tie where I remove the circlet up for the loot. Then I don't have to assess each year. I put a tag on each festoon to tell me where it goes. No guessing work necessary the next year. Be solid to show the box stair circlet or living extent opening. I find it's calm to depot unwieldy garlands in large forced storeroom boxes. You can exhort a lot into a big box, since there's nothing to disclose, and they can be fluffed out the next year. Be certain to mark every box visibly!Keep Parts Together-...more
