Planning Next Year's Garden
Seems like it's a little early to start thinking about next year's garden, doesn't it? But now is the time to survey your gardens and see what's going on. What needs to be changed? The first thing you want to look for is where does the sun hit, and when? Roses and vegetables do better in an area where they get morning sun, especially when it starts getting cooler. The morning sun will warm them up faster and keep them producing longer. Using this method, you will be out in the first snowfall gathering the last tomatoes before they freeze!Plants like lilies and petunias, stuff that has a natural growing, bloom cycle anyway, will do fine with afternoon sun. One of the greatest tools for planning your garden are the catalogs from places like Gurvey's or Spring Hill.
These catalogs will give you all of the details about each plant - * How much sun they need * How big the plant gets * What is it's growing/ blooming time * How far apart to plantOne thing that scares people away from catalog buying is not being able to see what you're getting ahead of time. Imagine my shock when my 80 lilac bushes were nothing but a bunch of sticks! But I followed the directions, and they grew. Except for a couple, and those were replaced. So, don't be afraid. I had also order tall hedge.
Another 60 sticks. Imagine my neighbors amusement when I was out there planting all those sticks. It was a brand new subdivision at the time. Everyone basically had mud for landscaping. By the next spring, everyone else was trying to figure out what to do with their yard.
My landscape was in full bloom and hardly required any work at all. Even the lilacs bloomed, even though they were only about 2 feet tall that first year. I had an ever-exploding landscape. tulips, daffodils, lilacs, assorted lilies that bloomed at all different times, yucca, roses, balloon flowers, butterfly bushes, 4 o'clocks, I mean, it was amazing. And I did it all by using the catalogs to map out the garden plans.
So grab a catalog and get out in your yard and start planning for next year..

Brainstorm
Ever lost for ideas while working in a group? One of the most often-used technique for generating many ideas is Brainstorming. Alex Osborn, a partner in an advertising agency, developed brainstorming techniques years ago in 1941 to help his employees to come up with many, many ideas for their advertising business. To enable Brainstorming to be effective, there are certain rules to follow. One of the most important is that no one should make any judgment about anyone's ideas. There should be a FREE-FLOW of ideas (that's why Brainstorm is put under the WATER Element category!) and everyone's ideas are to be respected and taken into account.Let's go through the steps of setting up an effective Brainstorming session:1. Get into small groups of less than six (it was found to be more effective) and select a leader and a recorder (they may be the same person).
2. The leader must explain the focus topic and goals of the Brainstorming session. In short, he/she must make sure that everyone...

How to Get the Best Price for Your House
The best price to sell your home is always determined by how you compare against your competition, the house down the street. If your property looks better than the next guy's the customer will buy yours. It all comes down to image, making sure it shows at its best. This is accomplished with minor repairs, some decorating and a lot of elbow grease. It's no different than a used car dealer shining up the cars inside and out.
You systematically go through your home, inside and out, room by room, and make it look great.OutsidePaint it, wash it, mow it and clip it. First impressions are lasting, and you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. Look at your home from the street. If you can't see it through the trees, trim bushes so windows are completely exposed. Make sure your approach to the house is clear of overhanging foliage.
Wash the windows. If you have a blacktop driveway, put a fresh coat of sealer on it. Dress up flowerbeds with new shrub or flowers...
