Fall is for Gardening

"Fall is for gardening" says Billy Fountain. "With temperatures cooling down somewhat from the record-breaking highs we have just endured, there may be a hint of fall in the air. Now is the time when we can once again enjoy our decks and patios. I enjoy gardening much more in the fall with cooler temperatures and a slower pace.

For maximum enjoyment of fall color, now is the time to plant your chrysanthemums. There are so many colors to choose from, but the most popular is the bright yellow variety called Yellow Triumph. The bright golden flowers show off well against the dark green foliage. Other colors include bronze, white and maroon. Choosing colors depends on your personal taste, and all these varieties grow well in our area." more..

Are you sitting there with your digital camera full of fabulous flower pictures that you have taken over the summer? Instead of your old-fashioned photo album you can now purchase an electronic version. Westinghouse has introduced the Digital Photo Frame, a 5.6-inch LCD display that looks like a picture frame and displays up to 80 digital photos, individually or in a slide-show format. The photos are imported by plugging in a memory card or downloading from a computer. more..
