This is the traditional month of hearts and flowers, and even with a willing heart most of the flowers must still come from the florist. This is the last month of cold weather, though, and with warm days there are many garden activities that can be done.

All through this area gardens are in different stages of development from the first spring days of swelling buds to complete dormancy in the extreme northern parts. Evergreen plants should be moved balled and burlapped (B&B).

This kind of transplanting has to do with digging the plant with an undisturbed ball of earth around the roots. This ball is held intact with (originally) burlap (today plastic) securely fastened around it so that it will not break. This burlap is left on when the plant is replanted in the new location. It will rot away in a few days. Most of the young roots will grow through the burlap that is left.

Most gardeners are aware of the trend in planting to use container grown stock. These plants are grown pots and other containers. Actually, container-grown stock is a modification of the B&B type, in that the root system of a plant is not disturbed.

Constructing a new patio this summer or redoing an old one will present you with a lot of choices for materials. Each one of them has its advantages and drawbacks but they will all go a long way of contributing to a beautiful patio.

If you live in a climate that is both hot and cold, you might want to consider building your patio out of flagstone. Coming up with some great flagstone patio ideas is for people who need a patio that can withstand the elements but want something more than the usual plain concrete. Flagstone is very strong and will not crack or deteriorate as quickly as some other rocks. It can be bought as the real natural flagstone or it comes as man made as well. No two flagstone patios will ever look the same as the rock looks different every time you build with it. Flagstone is a great choice for your patio for both its durability and the design you can create with it.

Difficult or temperamental lilies. No doubt it will he helpful to discuss some of the specific vagaries of a few of our more difficult or temperamental

Lilium auratum is actually a very easy lily to grow and flower, but it is a rather difficult one to keep. This is largely be-cause of its liability to mosaic infection. Consequently it must be protected by relative isolation and by regular spraying. In my experience a planting depth of 8 to 12 inches is best, though if the ground is soggy or very heavy more shallow planting may be safer; generally the bulbs tend to find their own level and to pull themselves down further if they need greater depth. This is the one lily, more than any other, that rodents prefer; moles, chipmunks, woodchucks, all will go after them, and if your garden abounds in any of these it will be well to protect the bulbs. With these precautions, it is an easy-to-grow and magnificent lily.

Potted annuals, perennials, and shrubs can still be successfully transplanted, but with the approach of hot and frequently drier weather, the season for bare root transplanting is about over. Some shrubs, especially spireas, which have compact fibrous root systems, can still be transplanted if they are dug with balls of earth, moved quickly and kept thoroughly watered until well established. Select a cloudy, cool day for the job. If the planting to be done is extensive, wait until fall. Container grown shrubs, trees and evergreens has made it practical to extend the planting season well beyond the former deadline. If you have some vacant places in your shrubbery plantings, check with your nurseryman for suitable container grown plants which may be planted now to fill in the open spaces.

It is not too late to select and plant potted roses. Try some of the new patents while they are in bloom at your local nursery or garden center.

Evergreens are growing rapidly and should not be moved now unless the planting is absolutely necessary. If you have to move them now, handle them quickly with good sized root balls. Removing some of the new growth will help balance up for loss of roots. A shade of burlap will cut down the trees evaporation and help it become adjusted to the new setting. Keep the transplants well watered and mulched.

Some of the most common indoor bugs we see all over the world are flies, spiders, fleas and beetles. Nobody likes to see insects in the house, so most people will go to just about any lengths to get rid of these common indoor bugs. The less common indoor bugs may be woodlice, earwigs, scorpions and millipedes or centipedes, although they are no less unwelcome.

It does not matter where you live in the world, it can be very difficult to keep these common indoor bugs outside, unless you go to the extremes of keeping all your windows and doors closed all of the time, which is quite impossible. I live in Thailand and I know that this is not an option.

So, what on Earth can you do? Well, let’s deal with all the flying insects first, as of all the common indoor bugs, I find them the most obnoxious indoor bug. They are very annoying, buzzing around your head and mosquitoes and other flies can create irritating sores and besides that, all flies spread disease. I hate to see them walking on food, knowing that they have probably just come off some dog’s muck somewhere and now they are spitting on my food to taste it with their grubby feet!

One important factor in the home decor is home lighting. You can create any type of environment using different lighting fixtures. But it is very important to know about different lighting categories and their functions so that you are able to choose the right lights for the right purpose and can thus make your home look unique and beautiful.

The first category is of ambient lights. These are the general purpose lights used for illuminating the whole space. Common examples of these types of lights are ceiling lights and wall sconces.

Ambient lights are an essential component of lighting but are mostly used as background lights rather than main focal point lights.

Next comes the task lights. These are used for performing specific task such as reading, writing etc. Therefore they must be placed very accurately so that one is able to perform the desired job without any trouble.

The key to good task lightings is installing them directly over or slightly to the side of each area. Include task light in every area of the room where you carry out specific activities, at the desk, above the bar and dining table. Link them all to separate switches to be able to switch them on and off whenever you need them.

The pleasure of a beautifully landscaped garden can’t be overstated. Extending the relaxation and enjoyment into the night, though, requires the installation of landscape lighting. In the not so distant past, this was both a labor intensive and prohibitively expensive objective. Fortunately for those of us who don’t have Kennedy or Rockefeller in our names, low-cost, easy-to-install landscape lighting kits have come to the rescue. But before you begin shopping for them online, take the time to know what their limitations are. After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch and you’re sure to be disappointed if you don’t educate yourself first.

Inexpensive landscape lighting kits manufactured by companies like Malibu seem like a great idea. It’s important that you know that there are limitations inherent in their plastic construction that put them at a disadvantage relative to their metal counterparts. Not knowing those limitations can lead to disappointment and we don’t want that so this article will help you understand the good, bad and ugly (not necessarily in that order) about plastic landscape lighting kits. Just be sure to read to the end before you make your decision.

Out West gardeners should be changing their practices now to encourage maturity in woody plants so as to prepare them for winter. Reducing the amount of watering helps to do this.

Avoid any practices that encourage woody plants to carry on soft, succulent growth into late summer. Avoid over-cultivation in fact, letting a few weeds grow (as long as they do not go to seed) will aid in sapping up excess moisture and discouraging late growth.

Do not fertilize woody plants and herbaceous perennials in late summer, especially with high nitrogen containing fertilizers. Feeding of these plants should be limited to the early part of the growing season. Do not prune in late summer or fall for similar reasons. Late pruning stimulates new, soft, succulent growth. Pruning should be confined to the late winter, spring and early summer months.

Don’t let down on insect and disease control, just because the best part of the growing season is over. Many folks believe that just because the hottest part of summer is past, the diseases and insects arc on the wane. They forget that these pests hibernate over winter in the soil and plant debris. Constant attention to pest control right to the end of the growing season pays dividends in helping make: the garden more free of pests the next year.

The rugs come in different sizes, shapes and colors with designs that may be in solid pattern or in prints. Rugs can always coordinate with the colors in your home and any of decors and other pieces of furniture. Choose those with eco-friendly materials and must be washable to avoid the growth of dust mites. They are one of the most important things you must have in any floor area of your home.

Make sure you always keep your rugs clean especially those in the childrens rooms. Keeping them clean is important to prolong their life span and make the look good most of the time. You can vacuum them everyday or much better shampoo them regularly or as often once a week to avoid allergens hibernating in them.

Before you wash the rugs, it is best to vacuum them first to remove some particles out of them. In using any cleaner it is important that you test it first in a hidden area of the rug to be sure your cleaner does not affect its color.
