Gardner, "ac-Ity, North Carolina State University It seems that we have been climbing winter’s hill for a long time. Every time we near the summit, we lose our footing due to cold, slee., snow and rain. Hopefully, though, we will soon reach the summit and travel down into the valley of spring with its warmth, beauty and fragrance. We have had some cold in jury to woody ornamentals, es pecially Japanese hollies and azaleas. On the Formosa types, some bark splitting has occurr ed. This is serious. Don’t get itchy with your pruning shears on cold damaged plants. Leave them alone until growth is ini tiated. Then, prune out the in jured stems. Plums, pears and peaches bave passed the full bloom stage. There has been some cold injury to open flowers but we still have a good potential (4-7-71). Forsythia, redbud, some of the spireas, and crab apples are real pretty now and crying for warmth and sunshine. A few warm days will see most of them in full bloom in the Raleigh area. It is not too late to plant strawberries in the mountains. Use only good healthy plants which are true to variety name and disease free. This means buying from a reliable source. The plants may cost more, but will be less expensive in the long Tun. Setting duality plants may taean the difference between success and 'failure. Pick-your-own strawberry plantings are t becoming more popular in all sections of the state. If you havf a suitable for wisfi to visitors* It appears that pick-your-own vegetable projects are on the increase, too. Sweet corn, lima beans, field peas and tomatoes seem to be the most popular crops for these projects. All pickers should be given instruction^ about harvesting the different crops and a system of checking the pickers develop ed. Three other crops which have good pick-your-own possibilities are — blueberries (statewide); and red and black raspberries (piedmont and mountains). As soon as the soil is in good condition for working, seed of the following heat resistant crons may be planted in the piedmont and eastern Carolina — corpos, marigold, sunflower, petunia, morning glory, salvia and zinnia. Wait a week or two in the mountain counties, de pending upon your elevation. Hybrid tea roses are initiating new growth and should be spray ed every two weeks during the growing season. You will never see this colne to pass, a back seat driver out of gas. There are many, breeds of back seat drivers in otir cohi plex society. ' ad agency sur vey showed Mrs. Homemaker, faced with higher prices, has changed her food buying habits. She is more concerned with costs and quality than convenience i substitutes plans menus in i more food preparation herself. ITEM: For someone who eats alone, prepared mixes may be more economical than those you make from “scratch." it’s easy to take the amount you need f|d keep the rest in a closed -con tainer. HEM: Over 200 varieties of ready-to-serve meats are made by approximately 3,000 meat proces sors in the United States. Many of these are inspired by old world varieties and bear the names of towns or localities where they originated. Bologna, Frankfurt, and Vienna are examples. ITEM: Save wear on your child’s school garments with a second raincoat Cut as a poncho from readily-available plastic yardgoods, the raingear is simple for youngsters to put on, allows freedom to slosh around in pud dles, may be folded flat, and is a cinch to keep clean.
