The Garden Check- list is filled with tips and tricks for local gar- deners who wish to keep their greenery, flowers, and herbs looking beau- tiful all year long.
Catch up on the tlc for your houseplants. Fertilize house plants lightly, repot as neces- sary and replace soil .
Tasks for this time of year include water- ing citrus on a regular schedule to maintain even soil moisture.

Fire and ambulance crews arrived shortly after and helped the man onto a gurney. He was conscious and breathing when transported.
What began as a typi- cal Sunday afternoon for me turned into what I can only describe as an extraordinary act of kindness among hu- mans.
We need more of that- especially during these times.
