SPRING UPDAE

Well, lets see what is going on!! I have a couple o loads o woodthat I cut over the winter, while doing some thinning, that is nowall cut and split. I have also been out this spring doing a bit morethinning and patch cutting. I am going to take it easy thoughuntil we get a woodlot management plan in place, because thatwill help set the priorities in terms o what should be done rst.

For those individuals who own woodlots and want to takesome proactive measures to improve the quality and quantity owood that is growing, there are remarkably inexpensive servicesavailable by joining a local wood co-op. For those who just wantto sit on their property and let mother nature do her thingthat is ne also, just consider protecting the property throughland trusts or easements that will stop uture owners rom clearcutting what has taken many, many years to develop.

Tanks to the dry spells we have had this spring, I have gottenout to do some more work on my woods road. Unortunatelyaer just one heavy rain it takes about a week or it to dry outand useable again. My biggest hope, is that beore winter, I willhave all o the ditching done so that it should only take a airlyshort time to dry out and be usable aer a heavy downpour.

Back in the woods, we are scouting along the roadside ordesirable small trees such as spruce, pine and some cedar, andreplanting them in areas that are exclusively r and/or birchIn just a hundred or so short years, the orest makeup o treesshould be signicantly better.

Every time I walk by my dead hemlock remains, I wonder ithere is such a thing as ree CPR. I there is, I suspect that thetime or which it might work is long past. Oh Sigh!!

Outside o the woods, we are doing a bit more landscapingand planting, but nothing major so ar. Te grand-grand kids areboth very cute and lovable, the missus is still annoying and TeJet seems to be ollowing in her oot steps. (Maybe more later.)On the lighter side:

1. Light travels aster than sound. Tis is why some peopleappear bright until you hear them speak2. He who laughs last, thinks the slowest.3. Change is inevitable, except rom a vending machine.4. Tose who live by the sword get shot by those who dont.5. Nothing is oolproo to a suciently talented ool. 800

MUlcH IME AGAINMulch sales abound at this time o year and along with them

the hints rom most garden centers and landscape bods thatthe product will render your garden instantly weed ree andpractically work ree. Be not ooled!

Quite rankly, working in my garden gives me great joy and areshly weeded bed provides a lot more satisaction than a newlyscrubbed kitchen oor ever could! Certainly the mulch has akilling eect when laid at about a three inch depth however itsprudent to bear in mind that what can kill the undesirables canalso wipe out the treasures. I your liestyle dictates the use omulch, care needs to be taken with the application; a space o atleast six inches around the plant or bush, should be le wherecompost mixed with some well rotted manure can be applied,this insures that theres enough nourishment or the plant tosurvive since the mulch will take a lot o nutrients rom the

soil as it decomposes. Mulch should always be applied aer asoaking rain in order to trap the moisture in the soil. I use heavymulch on pathways and actually recycle the large plastic bagson the surace covered with layers o newspapers and toppedo with the mulch. Sadly this method is not suitable elsewherein the garden. With advancing years the plastic bagged type isinnitely more manageable than the great truck loads that I haveused in the pastBy not using mulch on the ower beds there is better opportunity

or plants to expand and a greater likelihood o those wonderulvolunteer plants, blown in by the wind or dropped rom theheavens by passing aviators; they are always great un andoen provide treasures that could wreck the budget at the localnurseries.

Tis is a great time o year to clean out ponds and care needs tobe taken to preserve the wild lie in them; a collection o watersnails is a valuable asset to keeping things ship shape, so its bestto li the leaves with a small plastic rake and sit them down onthe surround o the pond, giving suitable time or the livestockto return. Every pond gets overgrown with time and the plantlie needs to be reduced to a point where at least 1/3 o the pondis open water. I have just completed that task in a very smallpond and was rewarded with the sight o a pair o mallard duckstaking stock o the accommodations!

So much good stu in lie is ree and it seems to me that themajor benets o hands on gardening are the pure joy o hearingthe birds sing and watching plant lie come into bloom. Celebratethe good stu! 805

E NEWS

We recently sent out our very rst e-newsletter. Tis is somethingwe have talked about or some time and although the rst issuewas quite time consuming the response has been positive, withseveral o our customers even taking the time to email us to tellus so. It is our hope that our advertising customers will nd it auseul resource ull o all kinds o tips and inormation, much aswe hope these community magazines provide our readers witha whole community o interesting and useul news and events.

I sometimes think o just 12 years ago when Mike and I rstbegan Ossekeag Publishing. We took on an oce with just threecomputers, two or creating the publications and one which washooked up the internet. Most o our editorial came in as hardcopy and had to be typed. Ad copy was a hand drawn sketch oroccasionally (rom companies with a national presence) an ad

mat that could be scanned. Very little came to us via email.My six year old grand-daughter is always ascinated by howlittle connection to the bigger world Nana and Grumpy had askids. I was her age when our amily got our rst television, withall o one channel and a GREA test pattern or large parts othe 24-hour day. Interestingly, though, yesterday we watchedsome o those same cartoons that I saw as a kid . . . thanks toYouube. om & Jerry and Sylvester & weety were both bighits. She laughed . . . and then went back a bit to rewatch theunniest section again. Not only was that impossible when Isaw them, I also watched them in black and white, a conceptcompletely oreign to her. She is amazed that there was no Dora,no reehouse and no Barbie.Progress has lots o good in it, but not all change is positive. Te

test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundanceof those who have much it is whether we provide enough for thosewho have little.~ Franklin D. Roosevelt. 801
