Inspirational Message:

Daniel 6: 17-23 - 17 A stone was put over the mouth of the pit, and the king placed his own royal seal and the seal of his noblemen on the stone, so that no one could rescue Daniel.

18 Then the king returned to the palace and spent a sleepless night, without food or any form of entertainment. 19 At dawn the king got up and hurried to the pit. 20 When he got there, he called out anxiously, "Daniel, servant of the living God! Was the God you serve so loyally able to save you from the lions?" 21 Daniel answered, "May Your Majesty live forever! 22 God sent his angel to shut the mouths of the lions so that they would not hurt me. He did this because he knew that I was innocent and because I have not wronged you, Your Majesty." 23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders for Daniel to be pulled up out of the pit. So they pulled him up and saw that he had not been hurt at all, for he trusted God. Amen

Great Gardening Tips

August 2007 Gardening Tips

Muck Vac

Here are some tips to prepare your lawn and garden this month:

- Plants signal their need for water: Turfgrass lies flat when walked on and many plants lose leaf shine and droop a little.

- To reduce the number of pests on your fruit tree for the coming year, pick up and destroy all fallen fruit.

- Now is the time to start your fall and winter vegetables. Plant starters or seeds of green onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, radishes, and winter cauliflower directly into the garden early this month.

- Check hose connections, pipes, and valves for water leaks. Small dribbles can waste hundreds of gallons of water in a day.

- Change bird bath water regularly and keep filled. Standing water is less healthy for the birds, and may become a breeding ground for mosquito larvae.

- Daffodils and tulips should be fertilized in early to mid-August. Apply 2 pounds of 5-10-10 or 6-12-12 per 100 square feet.

- Plants and trees that provide color in the month of August include Crape Myrtles, Pee Gee Hydrangeas, Viburnums, Hypericum and Butterfly Bush.

- In mid August plant broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbages, carrots, cauliflower, Swiss chard, collards, kale, English peas, Irish potatoes, and summer squash.

- Take time today to sit back, relax and enjoy your lawn and garden. Pat yourself on the back for all of your hard work!

- Don't have a pet? Protect areas from birds by cutting up an old garden hose into 1-2 foot long pieces. Birds will think it is a snake and will avoid that area.

- Watch out for yellow patches, leaf curl or poor growth. Increase watering if you notice any of these signs.

- Hot and dry days create perfect conditions for spider mites in evergreen plants. Wash frequently with a high pressure hose to reduce populations.

- Pick fresh flowers to enjoy indoors - after all, you worked hard all spring for this. This will also encourage more blooms on most perennials.

- If you plan to do some landscape planting this fall, now is a good time to decide on the plants to use and how to arrange them.
