'Happy New Year'

Another new year and more resolutions. We keep telling ourselves that we will loose weight, take better care of ourselves, quit smoking . . . . you know, all the usual ones we keep saying over and over.

Well let me help you get away from that 'ol broken record.' This year try a couple of these resolutions.

     I will learn how to water my plants to keep them healthy and to save water.

     I will feed my landscape plants to keep them growing strong and healthy.

     I will learn how to prune my plants properly.

     I will select low water plants to use in my garden for color and low maintenance.

     I will learn how to control garden pests and disease without using harsh chemicals.

See? No more diets, no more breaking the same old resolutions. Besides, you'll have a nicer looking yard. Now don't you just feel better?
