        HORTICULTURE TIP
by Shari Johnson
"The State Coordinator of Master Gardeners stated recently that late blight has been confirmed on tomato plants in two gardens in Lamoille County, Vermont.  If you find late blight in your own garden on tomatoes or potatoes, destroy the plant by putting it in a garbage bag or burning it.   DO NOT put the diseased plants into your compost. The following is an excellent and more detailed link:

    Theme:  These are the Golden Days

     
    "For oft, when on my couch I lie
    In vacant or in pensive mood.
    They flash upon that inward eye
    Which is the bliss of solitude
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils."
