(StatePoint) — Lookingfor a thoughtful gift thisholiday season? Give agift basket!

Don’t be intimidatedby the task — it’s easy tocreate the perfect giftbasket for even the fussi-est person.

“A food basket is a wel-come gift for all occa-sions,” says Bonnie Tem-pesta, founder of thecookie company BoncoraBiscotti. “You can makeit as elegant, whimsicalor celebratory as youwant — and at whatevercost your budget allows.”

Gift baskets also offera chance to inject somepersonality into a gift.

“What you choose toput in a gift basket is areflection of who you areas a gift giver,” says JeanThompson, Owner andCEO of Seattle Choco-lates, maker of premiumchocolate bars and truf-fles. “It’s a great way toshare your good taste.”

Follow these simpletips to make unique giftbaskets for everyone onyour list:

• Decide what youwant to include before

you buy the basket soyou can pick the rightsize. No matter what sizebasket you use, it shouldbe overflowing.

• If a traditional wood-en basket isn’t yourstyle, look for other ves-sels: a colorful paperbag, a pretty pastry box,a flower pot. The possi-bilities are endless —and inexpensive.

• Fill the basket withhigher- and lower-priceditems to keep overallcosts down. Includeitems of varying heightsto add visual interest.

• Arrange the contentsaround a theme, such asall things red or every-thing handmade or allchocolate!

• Choose foods youlove or products you’reexcited about trying.Chances are, if you werewowed by a treat, yourgift recipient will be too.

• “Go for edibles thatdon’t need to be eatenright away,” says Ed-mond Sanctis, co-founder of SahaleSnacks. “Treats that canbe nibbled and shared allseason long are ideal gift

basket additions.”• Splurge on indul-

gences your recipientnormally wouldn’t buyfor him or herself.

• Add a food item that’snew or hard to find.

• Include unusual fla-vor combinations that

can be used for snackingas well as cooking.

• Use colorful, recycla-ble paper, like tissue pa-per or shredded paper, tofluff up the contents ofyour basket.

• The finishing touchon a gift basket is not the

shrink wrap; it`s thenote. Tell your gift recip-ient why you chose whatyou did!

With these tips, you’resure to create a gift yourfriends and family willappreciate.

(BPT) — What wouldholiday shopping be with-out credit cards? Usingcredit cards wisely canhelp you score some gooddeals, and offers a layerof consumer protectionthat cash and debit cardscan’t. Still, if you get car-ried away with holidayspending, the season’s“Ho, ho, ho!” can turninto “Oh, oh, oh!” comeJanuary when the billsarrive.

When holiday shop-ping, it’s important to findthe right balance of whento use plastic and whennot, and to understandyour credit status beforeyou give your cards aworkout. Fortunately,some planning and pre-cautions can help ensureyou use credit wisely thisholiday season.

Before you start usingcredit cards for holidayshopping, take a look atyour credit score and re-port. Knowing your cur-rent credit status willhelp you better under-stand how much (or little)credit you can afford touse this season. Whenyou enroll in a productsuch asfreecreditscore.com, youare provided access totools that can help youunderstand how yourspending behaviors im-pact your credit scoreand report, while track-ing both over time.

Once you understandyour current credit sta-tus, next decided whichpurchases you’ll makewith credit cards. Creditmakes sense for sometypes of purchases more

than others.For example, when on-

line shopping, a creditcard offers convenience,security and consumerprotections that aren’tpresent with debit cards.Using a credit card for abig-ticket item, such asconsumer electronics,can also help you breakthe cost down into moremanageable, incrementalpayments (although you’llpay interest, too). Forsmaller in-store purchas-es, like wrapping paper orstocking stuffers, cashmay be a better option.

One tip that financialplanners recommend isto choose just one cardfor your holiday creditpurchases and remove allothers from your wallet.Use it for both in-personand online buying. Opt

for the card with the low-est interest rate on pur-chases or the one thatgives you the best rewardpoints for using the card.Using just one card al-lows you to better trackyour spending and limitsthe risk of identity theftor fraud if your wallet islost or stolen while you’reshopping.

Avoid the temptation ofusing store cards oropening new accounts inexchange for a temporarydiscount. During the hol-idays, this type of incen-tive abounds, but storecards often charge higherinterest rates that offsetthe discount you receivedin exchange for openingthe account. And, eachnew account you openwill cause a credit inquiryto show up on your cred-

it report. Too many in-quiries in too short a timecan lower your creditscore.

Finally, pay off holidaypurchases right away,rather than carrying abalance. If you won’t beable to pay off a balancewithin a month (or two atthe most), it may be timeto reassess your holidayspending and adjust yourbudget accordingly.

Holiday shopping canbe fun and rewarding aslong as you control yourspending and use of cred-it cards. There’s no needto go into debt or damageyour credit. A little plan-ning, and understandinghow each financial deci-sion impacts your credit,can help keep the holidayseason — and your finan-cial future — bright.

December 19, 2012

Last night I was caught between a rock and a

hard spot. About 10:00 when I was locking the

kitchen outside door, the doorbell rang. I pulled

the curtain back to see who was there and a

strange fellow dressed in a green suit, topped

with a pointy bright red hat was standing there

with his back to me looking at the garage door.

I didn’t know whether to unlock the door or

not but remembered the outer screen door

would still be latched. With that, he turned

facing me with a great ear-to-ear smile and

said “Greetings, Sir.” I instantly realized he

would create no disturbances. I unlatched the

door and stepped out into the portico.

“What can I do for you, sir?” I asked. His

answer nearly bolted me over. “Sir,” he said. “I

am the head teamster of Santa’s Christmas

Gift Sled and we are faced with an

overwhelming catastrophe.” Still half stunned, I

asked, “Who is the ‘we’ you are referring to?”

and he said, “Santa and me, as well as the rest

of his staff.”

“You see, sir, Santa’s entire reindeer team did

not get their flu shot this fall and right down to

Rudolph, every one of them is too sick to pull

Santa’s sled. Santa said to tell you, or rather

ask you, if he could use your bright

three-wheeled cycle to pull his sled this year?”

After a moment or two I said yes, but how

could he possibly use it? It has hydraulic brakes

and not air brakes and uses gasoline. He

replied, “Santa has already figured that out. He

had our blacksmith shop build an air hook and

whenever he needs to stop, he will toss it out.

As far as the need for gasoline fuel, you have to

remember he will be driving downhill most of the

time when he leaves the North Pole and he

always looks forward to stopping at Stewarts

for their dark chocolate ice cream.”

With definite trepidation, I agreed Santa

could use my three-wheeler and backed it out of

the garage, turned it around facing William

Street. With that, the reindeer herdsman

jumped on without turning left or right, went

straight up into the sky and out of sight. With

that I ran over to our lawn to get a better view

and all I could see heading due north was a

white jet stream, climbing above the clouds.

I imagine its motor will make more noise than

the reindeer so if you listen carefully Christmas

Eve, you may hear it landing on your roof. I just

hope Santa’s air hook invention works. And

that’s the way it happened, given a little bit of

blarney or more. Possibly next spring when the

sun comes back to the Mohawk Valley, you will

get to see the three-wheeled red Spyder again.

I just checked the date on my cell phone. By

the time you read this we will have less than two

weeks to prepare for Christmas morning. Can

you or would you ever have imagined that

citizens of this most wonderful, bountiful

nation would try to reduce the day of Jesus’

birth to have no more meaning than any of the

national holidays set aside to honor George

Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Martin Luther

King? Does this mean that Jesus Christ has

been reduced to their level or have they been

raised to an equal position to Jesus? Now

should they be thought equal to the creator

and savior of this world? Are they now gods?

Can you imagine an American soldier

surrounded by the enemy in a foxhole over in a

foreign country praying, “Dear George

Washington,” or “Dear Abraham Lincoln,” or

“Dear Martin Luther King, please save me? The

enemy is all around me. I do not want to die. I

want to go home to America and my family.”

Frankly, it would seem to me to be more

intelligent to believe in Santa Claus with his

team of reindeer and Rudolph with his red nose

than to accept the nonsense in believing we

should believe Christ Day - Christmas Day -

should be replaced by the meaningless and

heartless word - holiday.

Even though time is running out, we can still

buy a gift or even make one and give it to a

friend and loved one. It will say, “Merry

Christmas and I do care.”

Always looking for a chance to make a quick

buck, if I offer the red Spyder at auction as the

three-wheeler Santa (a world renown celebrity)

used at Christmas, do you think I might make a

killing?

Before you accuse me of penning a batch of

blarney — maybe you should watch for and

listen and hear what mode of transportation

Santa is using this year.

Writing all of this serious chatter is very

exhausting so if you don’t mind, I will intentionally

fill in with a little blarney.

My wife was complaining to her friend — the

one we call the “cookie thief” — that I am

becoming quite forgetful. “He forgets his coat,

keys, and even wallet. I sent him down to the

Little “M” for some lemons, and I don’t know if

he’ll remember to come home.”

As the cookie thief was sympathizing with my

wife, I burst into the kitchen yelling, “You’ll never

guess what happened to me! I won the

million-dollar lottery!” “See,” my wife said, “He

forgot the lemons.”

This year, my wife suggested that we do not

send material gifts to our 23 children,

grandchildren, and greats. “What should we

send?” I asked. “Something we earned and

treasure,” she answered. “Money.”

The only problem I could see — is everyone

would be receiving too little or too much which

depends upon who is sending or who is getting.

The good Lord has already given me a

wonderful Christmas gift. My wife is back home

and her health seems to be improving every day.

I wish I could thank all of you personally for your

loving wishes, cards, food, and prayers.

Thank you, and God be with you. My prayer for

you is that you will receive all that you need to

be both healthy and happy, and that your

prayers based on God’s will — will be answered.

Remember to say hello to your neighbors. If

you send up a prayer for them, it will be heard.

Remember the old saying, “It is more blessed to

give than receive.”

Fred Lee and the Lee Family

P.S. If you are thinking about a New Year’s

Resolution, there is already one in the lay-a-way

department waiting to be used. “Be resolved to

locate a bible-teaching, Christ-believing church

this year and attend.”

I have a sweet tooth.I’ve been cutting back onsugar lately, but I’m wor-ried about the holidaysand all the extra sweets.Do you have any guid-ance?

It’s a good idea to eatless sugar — added sug-ar, that is. It’s estimatedthat Americans consume16 percent of total calo-ries from added sugar —the kind of sugar that’sadded to foods duringprocessing or prepara-tion, as opposed to thetype naturally found infruit and other wholefoods.

That 16 percent isequal to 320 calories aday on a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet — far more thanrecommended. The Amer-ican Heart Associationsuggests that womenconsume no more than100 calories a day fromadded sugars, and menno more than 150 calo-ries a day.

The nutrition commu-nity agrees that cutting

back on sugar would be avery good thing. Some ex-perts, including the au-thors of a commentarypublished in the journalNature in February 2012,even go so far as to calladded sugars “toxic” andadvocate regulating themlike alcohol. Others aremore moderate, sayingthat added sugars arejust a source of needlessempty calories and cut-

ting back would help peo-ple with their weight andtriglyceride levels, whichincrease when you eat toomuch sugar.

In either case, youshould know that overdo-ing it on added sugars —or other carbohydrates,including white rice,bread and other refinedgrains, could cause yourblood sugar to spike andthen drop, possibly sud-

denly — and that varia-tion in blood sugar couldtrigger more sugar crav-ings.

Be aware that avoidingadded sugars can be achallenge. They’re notonly in cake, cookies, pie,candy and ice cream, butthey’re also in manyprocessed foods, includ-ing barbecue sauce, saladdressing, canned soup,pasta sauce, granolabars, breakfast cereal, in-stant oatmeal, flavoredyogurt, frozen dinnersand many other foods.The largest contributor ofadded sugars in the dietis high-calorie softdrinks.

Looking at the “sugar”line on the NutritionFacts label doesn’t alwayshelp, because it lumpsnaturally occurring sugartogether with added sug-ars. So you need to lookat the ingredients listingto determine if the prod-uct has added sugar.Look for words like canecrystals, corn sweetener,evaporated cane juice orsyrup, fructose, dextrose,glucose, sucrose, fruitjuice concentrates, agavenectar (or other types ofnectar), high-fructosecorn syrup, honey, maltsyrup, or molasses.

Or more simply: Eatfewer processed foodsand more fresh produce;use fresh ingredientswhen cooking; and drinkmore water and milk. Andlimit yourself to just oneor two of those Christmascookies at a time.

(StatePoint) — Savingmoney while holidayshopping may sound im-possible, but you don’tneed to be a Scrooge tobudget. Through smartstrategizing, you can findthe perfect gift for friendsand family and keep yourwallet intact.

Here are some tips togive you a leg up on yourNew Year’s financial reso-lutions:

Just say noWhen it comes to pur-

chasing warranties, thereare times you can justsay no. Refusing extend-ed warranties doesn’t

strip you of all protection.Reputable manufacturerswill back products forthree to six months andsome credit cards extendor even double manufac-turers’ warranties. If youdo purchase a warranty,be sure the terms areworth the cost.

Avoid layawayLayaway may sound

great, but without disci-pline, it can be costly. Ifyou’re using a credit cardto make small paymentson your layaway pur-chase, and you don’t payyour balance in full, youmay ultimately pay both

a layaway fee and intereston your credit card. Andif you cancel the pur-chase, you could pay anadditional fee too. Stickto buying what you canafford today.

Manage your moneyIf you have trouble

sticking to your shoppingbudget, consider usingtools to help keep youhonest. Traditional finan-cial software programs,which help you set budg-ets and manage money,are now providing accessfrom mobile devices.

“Consumers who gointo debt from holiday

shopping often do so be-cause they are unawareof what they have in theirbank accounts and arespending unmindfully,”warns Aaron Patzer, VP ofInnovation at Intuit.“Tracking your budgetsand spending as you gowill help you stay ontrack.”Know the refund policy

Not all stores offer re-funds for returned items.When buying gifts, makesure you know a store’spolicy before your pur-chase. Ask for a gift re-ceipt so your friends andfamily can make ex-

changes or get refunds ifnecessary.

Use gift cardsRetailers must now

honor gift cards for fiveyears from the date of is-sue. So find those old giftcards, and use them to-ward your gift purchases,even if they have “ex-pired.” The company cansend you a new card orissue the remaining bal-ance in cash.

DIYShowing your friends

and family you careabout them should notput you in debt. If theholidays will cause an

unreasonable financialburden, consider makingpresents. From baking toknitting, to writing yourloved ones poems andthoughtful letters, home-made presents can bemore meaningful thanthe store-bought variety.

More money manage-ment tips for the holidayscan be found atwww.Quicken.com.

By planning ahead andmaking informed finan-cial decisions this holidayshopping season, you canstart 2013 on the right fi-nancial foot.

Heat your home safelyIf you plan to use a

wood stove, fireplace, orspace heater, be extreme-ly careful. Follow themanufacturer’s instruc-tions and rememberthese safety tips:

• Use fireplace, woodstoves, or other combus-tion heaters only if theyare properly vented to theoutside and do not leakflue gas into the indoorair space.

• Do not burn paper ina fireplace.

• Ensure adequate ven-tilation if you must use akerosene heater.

• Use only the type offuel your heater is de-signed to use — don’tsubstitute.

• Do not place a spaceheater within 3 feet ofanything that may catchon fire, such as drapes,furniture, or bedding,and never cover yourspace heater.

• Never place a spaceheater on top of furnitureor near water.

• Never leave childrenunattended near a spaceheater.

• Make sure that thecord of an electric spaceheater is not a trippinghazard but do not run the

cord under carpets orrugs.

• Avoid using extensioncords to plug in yourspace heater.

• If your space heaterhas a damaged electricalcord or produces sparks,do not use it.

• Store a multipurpose,dry-chemical fire extin-guisher near the area tobe heated.

• Protect yourself fromcarbon monoxide (CO)poisoning by installing abattery-operated CO de-tector and never usinggenerators, grills, campstoves, or similar devicesindoors.

Cook safely• Never use a charcoal

or gas grill indoors — thefumes are deadly.

• Never use an electricgenerator indoors, insidethe garage, or near the airintake of your house be-cause of the risk of car-bon monoxide poisoning.

• Plug in appliances tothe generator using indi-vidual heavy-duty, out-door-rated cords.

• Do not use the gener-ator or appliances if theyare wet because of therisk of electrocution.

• Do not store gasolineindoors where the fumes

could ignite.Light your home safely

If there is a power fail-ure:

• Use battery-poweredflashlights or lanternsrather than candles, ifpossible.

• Never leave lit candlesunattended.

Conserve heatYou may need fresh air

coming in for your heateror for emergency cookingarrangements. However,if you don’t need extraventilation, keep as muchheat as possible insideyour home. Avoid unnec-essary opening of doorsor windows. Close off un-needed rooms, stuff tow-els or rags in cracks un-der doors, and closedraperies or cover win-dows with blankets atnight.Monitor body tempera-

tureInfants less than one

year old should neversleep in a cold room be-cause (1) infants losebody heat more easilythan adults; and (2) un-like adults, infants can’tmake enough body heatby shivering. Providewarm clothing for infantsand try to maintain awarm indoor tempera-

ture. If the temperaturecannot be maintained,make temporary arrange-ments to stay elsewhere.In an emergency, you cankeep an infant warm us-ing your own body heat. Ifyou must sleep, take pre-cautions to preventrolling on the baby. Pil-lows and other soft bed-ding can also present arisk of smothering; re-move them from the areanear the baby.

Older adults oftenmake less body heat be-cause of a slower metabo-lism and less physical ac-tivity. If you are over 65years of age, check thetemperature in yourhome often during se-verely cold weather. Also,check on elderly friendsand neighbors frequentlyto ensure that theirhomes are adequatelyheated.

Keep a water supplyExtreme cold can cause

water pipes in your hometo freeze and sometimesrupture. When very coldtemperatures are expect-ed:

• Leave all water tapsslightly open so they dripcontinuously.

• Keep the indoor tem-perature warm.

• Improve the circula-tion of heated air nearpipes. For example, openkitchen cabinet doors be-neath the kitchen sink.

If your pipes do freeze,do not thaw them with atorch. Instead, thaw themslowly by directing thewarm air from an electrichair dryer onto the pipes.

If you cannot thaw yourpipes, or the pipes areruptured, use bottled wa-ter or get water from aneighbor’s home. As anemergency measure — ifno other water is avail-able — snow can be melt-ed for water. Bringing wa-ter to a rolling boil for oneminute will kill most mi-croorganisms or para-sites that may be present,but won’t remove chemi-cal pollutants sometimesfound in snow.

Eat and drink wisely

Eating well-balancedmeals will help you staywarmer. Do not drink al-coholic or caffeinatedbeverages — they causeyour body to lose heatmore rapidly. Instead,drink warm, sweet bever-ages or broth to helpmaintain your body tem-perature. If you have anydietary restrictions, askyour doctor.

Winter weather: indoor safety

by Paul G. Donohue, M.D.Gout diet not too

restrictiveDear Dr. Donohue: Will

you give me informationon the low-purine diet forgout? — C.J.

Answer: Years ago, be-fore effective gout medi-cines were available, dietwas the major treatmentfor gout. Now, with mod-ern medicines, diet does-n’t play such a big role.

Elevated blood uricacid sets the stage for agout attack. Uric acid in-filtrates joints as needle-shaped crystals. Mosturic acid comes from therecycling of body cells, adaily process. Only asmall amount comesfrom food. It’s still wisefor gout patients to take iteasy on foods that arehigh in purines, but theydon’t have to be as strictabout diet as former pa-tients had to be. Purinesare the substances thatproduce uric acid.

Gout patients ought toscale back a bit on meatand fish. Anchovies, or-gan meats like liver andsweetbreads, and gravieshave lots of purines inthem, and should be tak-en only once in a while, if

at all. Patients need towatch the amount of al-cohol they drink. Beer, inparticular, often triggersa gout attack. High-fruc-tose corn syrup and tablesugar ought to be used inmoderation. Soft drinkshave a large amount ofhigh-fructose corn syrupin them. These are theonly foods that bear somewatching.

Milk and other dairyproducts lessen thechance of gout attacks.All fruits and vegetablescan be eaten without anyrestriction.

Weight loss is importantfor overweight gout pa-tients. That’s about all youneed to know about thelow-purine diet for gout.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Ihave gotten my weight toa point where I am happywith it. I still have fatbulging at my sides. Ithink these are calledlove handles. I don’t lovethem. I don’t think thatlosing more weight willrid me of them.

What do you think of li-posuction? Is it risky? —A.S.

Answer: Liposuctionremoves fat from fat de-posits beneath the skin.

It doesn’t remove deepdeposits of fat, the fatthat surrounds organs inthe abdomen, the fat thatcreates most metabolictroubles. It’s the deep fatthat’s associated with in-creased risk of heart at-tack and stroke. Your di-eting should have takencare of that fat.

Liposuction surgery iscosmetic surgery, soyou’d better check withyour insurance if youneed it to cover the proce-dure.

All surgical procedures,including liposuction,carry a risk. Complica-tions from it, however,are not frequent.

Dear Dr. Donohue: As Iunderstand it, drinkingcoffee makes a person’sblood sugar rise, andthen insulin has to be re-leased by the body. Doesdrinking coffee overstim-ulate insulin productionand contribute to dia-betes, especially if a per-son is prone to diabetes?— T.F.

Answer: Coffee hasturned into a healthdrink. It’s believed to pre-vent diabetes. It’s alsosaid to prevent heart at-tacks and strokes.

by Dr. Leonard Perry, Ex-tension Professor, Univer-sity of Vermont

What goes around,comes around, as thesaying goes. What wastrue in the late 1800's isrepeating itself in the be-ginning of this new cen-tury. Just as people thenwere yearning for a sim-pler life--nostalgia for thepast as they faced thenew industrial revolu-tion--so are people look-ing for a simpler timeduring this technologyrevolution and informa-tion age.

Many of the plants andthe gardening styles to-day are similar to those ofa century ago, giving cre-dence to another sayingthat nothing is reallynew, just rediscovered.This gardening style andaccompanying plantpalette is a trend oftenknown as "Grandmoth-er's Garden."

It is really the Americancottage garden, an old-fashioned garden ofhardy perennials, annu-als (many self-sown likeJohnny Jump-ups), andnative American plants.Although native plantsare increasing in popu-larity now for reasonssuch as helping pollina-tors, a century ago theyoften were more readily

available than new intro-ductions.

In addition to nativeplants, sunflowers werepopular then, as theyhave become once again.Tropical plants, especial-ly those with bold foliage,were introduced into themore formal Victoriangardens, another trendrediscovered in today'sgardens. These includesuch as the canna andcastor bean, large ele-phant ears and smallerbut similarly shaped cal-adiums. These days wesee lots of ornamentalgrasses used in gardens,such as the fountaingrass, just as they usedthen. Roses, peonies,phlox, and hollyhockswere among the perenni-als commonly plantedand are still popular now.

Often appearing hap-hazard or growing at ran-dom, grandmother's gar-den was actually de-signed as a painting withan eye to composition us-ing color, shape, and tex-ture. It is no wonderthen that so manypainters, writers, poets,and other artists createdsuch gardens. These gar-dens inspired them andoften are seen in theirworks. This is well statedby Frank Waugh in his1910 book, The Land-

scape Beautiful. He notesthat "every botanizing oldmaid, male or female,knows plant names.Every good nurserymanknows the plants. Onlythe artist and the geniusknow how to blend thesematerials into pictures ofabiding beauty."

If you'd like to createsuch a garden, to be an"artist" or "genius", land-scape architect ThomasRainer notes that threedesign principles shouldbe employed. Cottagegardens were overflowingwith massed plants; indi-vidual plant types aren'tas important as sheervolume. You shouldn't beable to see soil or mulch,and don't use groundcov-ers.

Secondly, many "filler"plants were used. Theseperform as their name in-dicates, to fill in aroundother plants. Examplesof fillers might be the

spreading perennial gera-niums or masses of lowornamental grasses.

Thirdly, cottage gar-dens had a mix of flowertypes for variety. You'llwant to use uprightspikes such as holly-hocks or foxgloves orfalse indigo, along withbutton shapes such asbee balm, daisies such ascone flowers, clusterssuch as tall garden phlox,and plumes such asastilbe or goatsbeard.

These American old-fashioned gardens of yes-teryear differed from gar-dens abroad, such as theEnglish gardens, in thatthey were most often thework of one person (usu-ally a woman) instead of ateam of gardeners (usual-ly men). They were oftenrectangular beds, bor-dered by planks, stones,or low-growing plants,compared to the Englishborders.

These old-fashionedgardens also were differ-ent from the more formal-ly designed estate gar-dens of the period, theformal Victorian gardens,or the functional gardensof working farms. Theold-fashioned garden of-ten incorporated vegeta-bles and fruits for aes-thetics and show, ratherthan just for food as inthe working and priorcolonial gardens. Such"multi-functional" gar-dens are once again pop-ular, and a component ofpermaculture.

Unlike the larger estategardens and those ofEngland, which were sep-arate from the livingquarters and entitiesunto themselves, the old-fashioned gardens werelocated close to thehouse. They often wereused as intimate livingspaces or an outdoorroom, much as we see in

today's home gardens. Most of our garden tra-

ditions and trends todayoriginated during the pe-riod of Grandmother'sGarden (1865-1915).While we often hear of theinfluence of English gar-dens and horticulture lit-erature of that period onAmerican gardens, manyof these concepts actuallywere written about priorto these books and ideasbeing known in America.

Gardens, just as musicand other works of art,really are a result and re-flection of society, theconditions, and lifestylesof the time. For more onthis period of gardening,generally between theCivil War and World WarI, consult your library orused book sellers forGrandmother's Garden,The Old-Fashioned Amer-ican Garden 1865-1915, by art historianMay Brawley Hill.

Damping off, dessicate,direct seed. Do you knowwhat these and otherterms mean that you maycome across in seed cata-logs, vegetable gardeningbooks, and online web-sites? Understanding afew of the main terms willhelp you to understandplant descriptions andcultural directions.

One of the first set ofterms, which apply toflowers as well, relate tothe plant life cycle. Thosethat complete their life inone year, from seed toflower to seed (if a suffi-cient season), then die,are “annuals.” This in-cludes many vegetables,and some herbs such asbasil and dill. Some veg-etables such as aspara-gus, and herbs such asthyme and mint, are“perennials.” They comeback each year, dyingback to the ground in win-ter. Some herbs are “ten-der perennials,” such asrosemary or bay, not liv-ing over winter in cold cli-mates but surviving wherewarmer.

Those that take twoyears for this life cycle are“biennials.” This includesmany of the root cropssuch as turnips and

onions and carrots, andcrucifers such as cabbageand kale. But don’t getconfused, as these aregrown for their roots orleaves to harvest the firstyear, so are treated as an-nual crops. Parsley is bi-ennial too, so if it overwin-ters and then dies afterflowering the second year,that’s why.

Other terms refer to thepart we harvest, or familygrouping, as above. “Rootcrops” such as onions arepretty obvious, as are“leafy greens” such as let-tuce. “Crucifers” are thosein the crucifer or mustardfamily and include suchas cauliflower, cabbage,kale, Brussels sprouts,horseradish, and broccoli.These may be seen too as“cole crops.” “Cucurbits”refer to the family contain-ing squash, melons,pumpkins, and warm sea-son crops. “Umbellifers”are yet another family,those with flat flower clus-ters such as parsley, dill,and fennel.

Vegetables are oftengrouped by the generaltemperature they need togrow best. “Cool season”crops such as carrots andgreens are best in springor fall. “Warm season”crops such as melons,squash, tomatoes, andcorn grow best in warm

temperatures of summer.Don’t plant the latter tooearly (many gardenersplant on or after MemorialDay), as planted too earlythey won’t grow and mayget stunted or stressed.They’re sensitive to coldnights, so if you do plantearly, keep some frost pro-tection handy such aslightweight frost protec-tion cloths, even oldsheets.

A couple of climateterms you should knoware “frost date” and “har-diness zone.” The frostdate is the average expect-ed last frost in your area,which of course may varyyearly. This may be earlyMay in warmer parts ofNorthern New England,for instance, early June incolder regions.

For perennials, you’llneed to know their hardi-ness zones, and yours.Each zone refers to the av-erage, annual minimumwinter temperature, andcan be found from theUSDA hardiness zonem a p(www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html).

When choosing vegeta-bles, for those that get se-rious diseases, look forones that are “disease re-sistant.” These are onesthat have had resistancebred into them for a par-ticular disease, so theytend not to be infected.Often you’ll see letters de-noting such resistance inthe plant descriptions,with symbol key in thecatalog, such as F forfusarium wilt, LB for lateblight, V for verticilliumwilt, or TMV for tobaccomosaic virus.

If a plant is a “hybrid,” itis a cross between at leasttwo other plants. Thismeans that in order to getthe same plant, you’ll

need these other plants.Sowing seeds of the hy-brid usually will not giveyou the same plants. F1and F2 refer to the gener-ations of crosses to makethe hybrid. “Open polli-nated” are plants whoseseeds come about fromplants crossing on theirown, so often yield similarplants when their seedsare sown.

If you start your ownseeds indoors, often youtransplant into larger potswhen the plant has atleast two “true leaves”,compared to the first cou-ple of “seed leaves”(“cotyledons”) which oftenlook quite different, usu-ally being rounded. But, ifyou sow seeds directlyinto the garden, this is“direct seeding.” Usually,when direct seeding, you

sow “thicker” or moreseeds than needed in casesome don’t germinate. Ifso, you’ll need to “thin” orremove weaker plants toallow proper spacing.

When deciding where toplant, practice “crop rota-tion.” There are severalvariations on this, but ba-sically it means not plant-ing the same crop in thesame place for at least acouple years, three is bet-ter. By rotating differentcrops in the same spaceover the years, you’ll helpboth soil quality and toprevent diseases.

If you start seedlings in-doors, you’ll want to grad-ually acclimate them tooutdoor temperatures andlight-- “hardening off.” Ifyou keep seedlings toowet, they may get a dis-ease which makes them

topple at the soil line,termed “damping off.” Onthe other hand, too dryand they’ll dry out or“dessicate”, which may bepermanent.

When fertilizing plantsin the garden, sprinklingfertilizer uniformly over awhole bed is “broadcast-ing,”, while “banding” or“sidedressing” is applyingfertilizer or compost alonga row of plants-- the latterbeing on the surface, theformer slightly below soillevel.

These are only a few ofthe more basic terms toget you started. More, andfull details on crop cul-ture, can be found in ref-erences such as VegetableGardening for Dummies,by Vermont author Char-lie Nardozzi.

Useful vegetable gardening terms

New Year’s Eve food isbest served buffet-style.Set your buffet tableagainst a wall, or in thecenter of the room. Foronly six or eight guests, itis often placed with thelong side against a wall; alarger number may needboth long sides for enoughroom when serving them-selves.

Take time to arrange thebuffet table. Consider it acenterpiece of your party.Dress the table in lace,linen or with attractiveplacemats. Bring in all ofyour best serving trays andplates. Strive for artisticflower arrangements and,if you’re using candles,supply plenty of them sothere’s enough light.

The goal of a buffet tableis to serve people quickly,so flow is important.Arrange the table careful-

ly. Confusing traffic plansshould be avoided in orderto help the serving linemove with ease andspeed. Place a stack oflarge dinner plates at thepoint where guests are tostart; napkins and silver-ware should be placedwhere they will be pickedup last, after the platesare filled.

With so much casualdining going on, it’s a goodidea to serve only foodsthat can be eaten with afork. Rolls are usuallybuttered before they areput on the buffet. If youserve a tossed salad,tongs are far more easilyhandled than the conven-tional salad fork andspoon. Since seasoning islargely a matter of individ-ual preference, individualsalt and pepper shakersshould be provided on

snack tables or other con-venient surfaces near theguest’s chairs rather thanon the buffet. A side tablemay hold a tray with gob-lets or glasses and apitcher of iced water.

Limit the number ofcourses to just two — amain course with saladand rolls, and a dessert. Achafing dish is a great con-venience on a buffet table;heat-retaining casserolesalso aid in keeping hotfoods hot. Mixtures shouldnot be too thin and runny,salads not too juicy.Tossed or molded saladsare always good; fruit sal-ad mixtures may be servedin lettuce or cabbage cups,which can be transferredto plates.

Remember to considerthe eye appeal of foods aswell as their taste. Thecolors of foods as well astheir arrangement onserving dishes and theirgarnishing are important,for a buffet meal providesalmost the only opportu-nity for guests to see thewhole menu at once. Inplanning for your party,be sure to estimate quan-tities generously!

After your guests haveserved themselves, refillempty serving trays or re-move them from the buf-fet. Second servings maybe passed by the host orhostess, or guests can beasked to help themselvesto seconds. After every-one’s had a chance for asecond at the main dish,clear the buffet table andset out the dessert(s).

(StatePoint) — Thoughone of the best parts ofwinter is getting out ofthe cool, crisp air andinto the cozy, comfort ofyour home, trendsettingcrafters are bringing thebeauty of nature insidetheir houses when deco-rating for the holidaysthis year.

“This holiday season,the outdoors are in,” saysNicole Long, Manager ofInspiration for Jo-AnnFabric and Craft Stores.“Pine cones, evergreen,moss and grapevine cangive your traditional dé-cor a rustic, naturallook.”

If you’re having troublegetting inspired, here aresome ideas from the ex-perts at Jo-Ann:

• Dress up the entranceof your home with an es-pecially festive look. Wirea small twig wreath to a

larger grapevine wreathand then decorate withdazzling embellishments,

stems and greenery.• Give your mantel a

cozy makeover by hang-

ing knitted stockings,embellished with berriesand leaves. Then fill them

with gifts galore!• Deck the halls with

pictures of loved ones

and celebrations past.Turn a traditional pinegarland of berries andpine cones into a person-al keepsake of fond mem-ories by adding hand-crafted wire frames ofyour favorite family pho-tos.

• Paint pine cones red,gold, burgundy andgreen. Don’t be afraid toadd a little glitz with acoat of clear glitter oneach one. Showcase themin a simple glass contain-er for a beautiful center-piece or side table deco-ration.

• Fashion a hangingbasket out of grapevinewreath. Place battery-op-

erated lights within thebasket and fill with orna-ments.

• For a delicious holi-day goodie bag, dip pep-permint sticks in meltedchocolate and decoratewith sprinkles or choppednuts. Place them in treatbags with ribbon thengive to family and friendsthroughout the season.

• Print Victorian-eradesigns onto paper, thendecoupage onto wood

shapes. Glitter the edgesand tie on a shiny ribbonto create a lovely, vintage-inspired ornament.

For more tips and di-rections on transformingyour home for the holidayseason, visitwww.JoAnn.com/proj-ects.

By bringing a bit of na-ture into your home thisseason, you can evoke itsspirit all throughout thehouse.

Trees can be damagedby high winds, snow, iceand/or other severeweather. Some damagewill require immediate at-tention while others maybe dealt with at a latertime.

Safety is a primary con-cern when working withtrees. Any work that re-quires a chain saw orcannot be performedfrom the ground shouldbe done by a professionaltree-care service or ar-

borist.One or both shouldbe consulted when as-sessing trees for possibleremoval.

InsuranceIn all but life threaten-

ing situations, you maywant to consider contact-ing your insurance carri-er before any tree work isperformed. Most home-owners’ policies will coverat least part of the cost oftree removal if somestructural damage hasoccurred.

Be conservativeMany communities

across the country haveeither had damage to, orhave lost trees, becauseof major ice and/or snowstorms, or other naturalcauses in recent years.Decisions made soon af-ter the damage occurscan, and will, determinewhether or not a dam-aged tree survives.

Do not prune or removemore than necessaryright after an occurence.

Remove any hazards, andclean up roughly brokenbranches, but save majordecisions on pruning andremovals for later. Whilethe damage may look se-vere at first, concentratemore on how to save thetree rather than making aquick decision to cut itdown. Damaged treesmay still be able to servethe function for whichthey were planted. Don’tbe too hasty to remove atree if that decision can

be delayed until spring oreven for a year. The treemay not have been dam-aged as badly as first be-lieved. On the otherhand, a major injury mayreduce the useful life ofthe tree. Severe or largewounds can produce anentry point for decay,fungi or insects.

If a tree is injured sobadly that it must be re-moved, consider replac-ing it. Before planting anew tree, make sure thereplacement tree is theproper species and sizefor the site. Contact yourlocal DEC office, or treenursery for advice on treeselection and planting.

Hazardous treesHanging or loosely at-

tached branches andsplit trunks are obvioussafety concerns. Theyshould be dealt with assoon as possible to avoidthe possibility of personalinjury and/or propertydamage. Broken butfirmly attached branchesthat pose no immediatedanger of falling can bepruned after the morehazardous branches havebeen removed. Trunksthat are split down themiddle are very difficultto brace adequately, andshould be removed or ad-dressed by a professionaltree-care service or ar-borist.

Leaning treesSome storms may not

break the above groundportion of the tree but in-

stead might tip the treeover by breaking some ofthe roots. Trees leaningfrom root breakage usu-ally do not survive forlong. If a tree tips in astorm, it often means thetree had damaged orpoorly developed rootsprior to falling or leaningover. Larger, more maturetrees rarely survive at-tempts to pull them backinto place. These general-ly should be removed andreplaced. Smaller andmore recently plantedtrees have a betterchance of surviving if thetrees are gently pulledback to their vertical po-sitions. Soil needs to bepacked firmly around theroot system and wateredwell. Trees should bestaked until the rootshave become establishedagain.

Power linesBranches hanging over

power lines are a majorsafety hazard from thestandpoint of both theperson removing thebranches, as well as anypassers-by. Special train-ing is required to safelyprune these branches.Homeowners should notattempt to prune branch-es near, or laying on,power lines. Contact yourlocal power company or aprofessional tree-careservice trained in electri-cal line clearance to havethese branches removed.
