Simple steps for summer lawn prep(BPT) - If you’re a part of the nearly 90 percent of Americans who believe it’s im-portant to have a well-maintained yard, you and your backyard will appreciate these seven simple steps for tending to your natural turf lawn with minimal effort.

According to Grass Seed USA, a coali-tion of American grass seed farmers and academics, investing a little repair time in early spring and a small amount of maintenance time in summer will pay off with a lush lawn ready for all your summer activities.

Test your soilGood soil is one of the essentials of a healthy lawn. A soil test is simple, inex-pensive and provides valuable information about current pH levels. Simple amend-ments like lime or sulfur can be added to neutralize overly acidic or alkaline soil and help grass thrive. Find a soil test kit at a local garden store or make your own using common household items.

AerateOlder or heavily trafficked lawns can suf-fer from soil compaction. A core aerator with hollow tines will pull small plugs of soil out of the ground, allowing increased movement of water, nutrients and oxygen. Aeration can also increase the soil contact with new seeds and promote new growth. You can rent an aerator or hire a profes-sional to do the work for you.

SeedAccording to Grass Seed USA, the ideal lawn planting season is April through the mid-to-end of October, depending on where you live. Turf specialists at a garden store or local university extension office can help select the right seed for your area and us-age, pointing you toward the seed closest to existing grass or suggesting alternatives for problem areas. After seeding, water lightly but regularly, keeping the reseeded areas damp until the new grass grows in.

Control weedsHealthy lawns essentially control weeds by squeezing them out. However, if crabgrass or dandelions invade, herbicides may help. Consult a garden specialist about which herbicide is right for your lawn and how to use it. Applying a pre-emergent herbicide in the spring before weed grass emerges can reduce problems down the line. If you’ve applied seed, keep in mind herbicides can kill it, so use a product that will not affect new growth. For dandelions, digging them

up is often effective, but a broadleaf herbi-cide may be applied.

Water as neededOn average, a lawn needs about one inch of water per week, from rainfall or irriga-tion. Letting the lawn dry out completely between waterings will encourage the grass to grow stronger, deeper roots as it searches for water deeper in the soil. Put a rain gauge on your porch to measure rainfall; skip the watering and save your irrigation money if you receive one inch of rain in a week.

Fertilize naturallyDon’t break your back trying to bag lawn clippings. If you mow frequently (about once a week during the growing season) and don’t remove too much height (only one-third of the blade), you can leave the grass clippings on the lawn. They contain the same nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-sium as commercial fertilizer - and they’re free.

Mow to the right heightWait until your grass is 3 inches tall be-fore mowing and then cut it to 2 inches in height. By only trimming one-third of the blade length, you will avoid stressing the grass while leaving enough leaf to protect the roots from the sun - helping you create a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant lawn.

A lawn doesn’t need constant pampering. Ongoing lawn maintenance can be quick and easy, and the reward is a beautiful, environmentally-friendly setting for out-door activities of many kinds. So, fire up the grill, hang up the hammock and get busy enjoying your personal great, grassy outdoors.

Five steps to get yourmower started for spring(BPT) - After months of winter, warmer weather is finally here. It’s time to head to the lake, spend time on the deck or take your kids to the park. Yes, you’re ready for the season - but is your lawn mower?

One of the season’s most important tools has been hibernating through the winter, and it will need a helping hand to get ready. So before you fire it up for the first cuts of the season, make sure you follow these important mower maintenance tips.

Replace any existing gasDid you run your mower out of gas or add fuel stabilizer last fall? If you didn’t, stored fuel is likely to break down over the winter months and can go bad in as little as 30 days - making your mower hard or impos-sible to start in the spring. To protect your mower, make sure you fill it with fresh fuel from the gas station. And make sure it doesn’t have too much ethanol, as most mowers can only accept up to a 10 percent ethanol blend (E10).

Monitor the oil levelsIt’s a new season and your mower deserves new oil. Check the engine’s existing oil level, you’ll likely find it’s low. If it is, add oil as appropriate. Operating a mower with too little oil can burn out your engine. At the same time however, you want to avoid over-filling the oil level. Consult your owner’s manual for the right oil type and amount for your engine. And as you’re changing the oil, this is also a great time to inspect and possibly replace your oil filter.

Focus on the spark plugInspect the area around your mower’s spark plug to make sure no dirt or other debris will enter the cylinder once the plug is removed. Once you’re satisfied the area is clean, use a socket wrench to remove the plug and inspect it for any damage or carbon deposits. These deposits will appear as a black coating. If the plug appears to be worn, or has been used for several mowing seasons, replace it.

Clean the air filterA mower’s air filter collects a significant amount of dirt, dust and other debris over a typical cutting season, so it’s good to start the year with a clean one. Consult your owner’s manual to determine which filter is right for your mower and to learn how to make this simple replacement properly.

Adjust the bladeWhen performing your spring mainte-nance, this is also a good opportunity to inspect your mower’s blade. Look for cracks, nicks, bends or any other signs of damage. If you find these, replace the blade. Also, if the edge is dull, the blade should be sharpened. If you feel uncomfortable sharpening the blade yourself, take it to your local hardware store or small engine shop. For safety, always unplug the spark plug when inspecting the blade.

Properly maintaining your lawn mower is the key to a healthy, green lawn.

Backyard bounty: Vegetables are nature’s original nutritional powerhouses(BPT) - You’ve probably heard the chatter around how a handful of unusual foods are must-eat nutritional powerhouses - and wondered how you’ll ever get your kids to try kale or chia seeds. But you don’t have to stress over how to incorporate the latest health food fads into your family’s diet in order to get powerful nutrition.

The truth is, those headline-grabbers aren’t the only nutritional powerhouses. Most vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals, so quit worrying about how to pronounce acai or where to find seaweed in the supermarket. Instead, improve your family’s diet and save some money by growing nutrition-packed vegetables right in your own backyard. Keep these tips in mind:•Growing squash is easier than finding chia seeds. Many vegetables are easy to grow in any home environment, whether it’s a large garden plot or pots on your patio. Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, arugula and kale are full of nutrients and simple to grow, even for beginners. Transplants make it even easier by helping you bypass the work of starting from seed. Plus, you’ll harvest six weeks sooner.•Healthy benefits go far beyond nutrition. Growing your own vegetables and herbs means you’ll always have a fresh supply of nutrient-rich food at home. But gardening also delivers healthful exercise, time in the fresh air, and it’s a relaxing and satisfying activity.•Gardens are good for Mother Nature. The more food you grow at home, the fewer natural resources will be needed to grow veggies in far off places and ship them to your local supermarket. Your garden is also a great opportunity to recycle household food waste as compost. •Gardening could get your kids excited about veggies - really! When kids partici-pate in gardening, they take ownership of the plants they help grow. And with their hands in the dirt, they’re not on their cell-phones or playing video games. Kids who grow veggies are much more likely to eat them, and make gardening an ongoing, healthy habit.

•Save money at the supermarket. Growing your own food means you’ll spend much less money in the produce aisle. Plus, you can grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, even expensive, restaurant-style “foodie” greens you may not have tried otherwise.

Jump start your garden with these nutri-ent powerhouses:•Strawberries - Just one cup of berries contains three grams of fiber and more than a full day’s recommended allowance of vitamin C. Phenols are potent antioxi-dants that work to protect the heart, fight cancer, block inflammation, and they give strawberries their red color.•Sweet potatoes - Alpha and beta carotene give sweet potatoes their bright orange color, and your body converts these com-pounds into vitamin A, which is good for your eyes, bones and immune system. A half cup of sweet potato provides nearly four times the daily recommended allow-ance of vitamin A, plus vitamins C, B6, potassium and manganese.•Broccoli - This green nutritional giant delivers vitamins C, A and K (associated with bone health), folate and sulforaphane that helps stimulate the body’s detoxifying enzymes.•Tomatoes - Tomatoes provide vitamins A, C and B, potassium and lycopene - an im-portant phytonutrient thought to help fight various cancers and lower cholesterol.•Spinach - Spinach contains more than a dozen phytonutrients, and twice the daily recommended allowance of vitamin K. These nutrients contribute to cardiovascu-lar and colon health, better brain function, eyesight and increased energy.•Kale - Kale contains vitamins A, C and K. A cup of cooked kale gives you more than 1,000 percent of the daily value for vitamin K. It’s also high in manganese, which pro-motes bone density.•Cauliflower - Low in calories and carbo-hydrates, cauliflower is packed with a long list of nutrients, including phytonutrients. They say cauliflower is the new kale.

(BPT) - A backyard should be enjoyed to its fullest extent. But all too often, homes lack enticing outdoor living areas. One way to give your outdoor space a retreat is to add a new deck. A well-designed deck can extend your living space, make your yard more functional and, best of all, provide a comfortable space for family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors.

If you’re ready to build a new deck and turn your backyard into your favorite “room” in the house, here are five must-ask questions to help you design the perfect addition.

What do you want your deck to do?A deck can boost the value of your yard, but only if it fits the way you live. So, before tackling a deck project, set aside time to think about how you plan to use your new space. Whether you’re designing a multi-level deck for entertaining or a small, peaceful getaway, a little forethought can go a long way to ensuring your deck suits your family’s lifestyle.

For example, if outdoor entertaining is what your deck is all about, an expansive deck with multiple level changes, handrails and furniture can streamline traffic flow and define areas for eating, socializing and relaxing. If a peaceful deck-escape is more your style, a free-standing deck tucked into some foliage in your backyard with a screening trellis and a water feature can create a perfectly restful retreat.

How will you access your deck?As you evaluate your deck’s function, keep transitions in mind. The easier your deck is to access, the more you’ll get out of it. Decks positioned near frequently used openings, such as the kitchen door, make it simple to travel from one area to the other and are perfect for entertaining. Additional path-way features, like decorative stones and ground lighting, can help guests transition smoothly between your deck and yard.

If you have a raised or multi-level deck, be sure to think about stairs and railings. While these features make it safe to move between your house and backyard, they can also add visual distinction to your deck.

Curved stairs, decked out walkways, back-lit risers and decorative glass panels can all showcase your creativity while guiding visitors through outdoor living spaces.

Is your deck near water?If you envision lounging waterside, now is the time to think about moisture-resistant decking. Decks near pools, hot tubs and lakes need to withstand frequent exposure to waves, splashing and, in some instances, full water submersion to stay beautiful for years to come.

How do you want your deck to look?To make sure your new addition is as big on looks as it is on function, spend time dreaming about how you want your deck to look. Whether you favor sleek, clean lines or more adventurous deck patterns, the secret to a beautiful backyard deck is to make sure it ties-in with your home’s architecture.

You can select from a wide array of deck-ing color combinations that complement indoor flooring options, including popu-lar greys and rich dark browns. Or, use contrasting colors to balance your home’s exterior color scheme. If you love the look of wood but don’t want to deal with all the upkeep, look for modern composites that mimic the appearance of traditional wood decking. Their realistic wood grains blend beautifully into the landscape, and complement many of today’s exterior sid-ing options.

Are you designing a curved deck?If you’re still looking for a way to set your yard apart, consider incorporating curves into your deck design. Curves can add architectural interest by following the contours of your landscape, encircling hot tubs and pools, or contrasting the straight lines of your house.

Get creative, but don’t let materials limit your design. By following manufacturer instructions, you can shape contemporary materials like composite decking into stun-ning curves that will have neighbors com-menting on your deck for years to come.

Improve the look of your yard(BPT) - You’ve waited all winter for the chance to transform your lawn from that drab, frozen tundra into the lush, green oasis you know it can be. But this transfor-mation doesn’t happen overnight, and you can’t expect Mother Nature to take care of everything herself. Getting your dream yard is going to require a little work on your part, but the rewards are worth the efforts and as you’ll see, even the smallest changes can have a big impact. Follow each of the five simple tips below and you’ll be enjoying your yard all season long.

Water more heavily, less oftenWhen it comes to watering your lawn, less is more, provided you’re talking about wa-tering frequency and not water amount. Instead of several light sprinklings, give your lawn one thorough watering (about an inch a week) and you’ll ensure more of the water is absorbed by your lawn instead of being lost to evaporation.

Cut right, cut smartWhen it comes to lawn care, having the right mower makes all the difference. Lawn mowers with high performance cut-ting decks will give superior cut quality and performance and some are capable of bagging, mulching or straight discharge. If your lawn is rough or hilly, a self-pro-pelled drive system can take the work out of mowing. Some models now even have capability of four-wheel drive to further reduce effort.

Trim back overgrown trees and bushes The most beautiful yard in the world can be quickly overshadowed - literally and figuratively - by unkempt trees and bushes. How far you trim back your trees and bushes is a matter of preference, but any dead branches should be removed. After that, make sure you trim uniformly and clean up when you’re done to finish that polished look.

Take the time to aerateOne of the most effective ways to support new grass growth is to aerate your lawn. Using a mechanical or manual aerator, you can punch small holes in the soil, allowing much-needed water, air and nutrients to make it down to the root structure, sup-porting future grass development and long-term yard health.

Get motivated to mulchRegular mulching reduces weeds while pro-moting the health and growth of your lawn by returning needed nutrients back to the soil. In addition, because mulch clippings are comprised of 85 percent water and just 5 percent nitrogen, leaving them on your lawn can satisfy as much as 25 percent of your fertilizer needs. So the next time you feel the need to bag, opt to mulch instead.

After months of winter weather, you’re ready to relax on your beautiful green lawn once again, and getting there is easier than you think. Apply the tips above and you’ll be able to create the yard that’s perfect for everything you have planned for the season.

Must have elements for a colorful, fun outdoor living space(BPT) - Mother Nature is the ultimate ex-terior designer, and she shows off her chops every spring and summer when backyards come alive with colorful flowers, birdsong, warm breezes and the lush aroma of newly mown grass. Is your deck, patio or other outdoor entertaining area living up to her standards?

If your backyard entertaining space could stand some freshening and pops of color, fol-low these eight elements to turn any patio or deck into a paradise worthy of Mother Nature’s brilliance:

A perfect patio setPatio furniture is the focal point of any outdoor living space, how you use your patio or deck should guide your choice of furnishings. If you’ll be doing a lot of outdoor dining, a table and chairs are es-sential. Do you envision relaxed evenings chatting with friends in a comfortable set-ting? Outdoor sofas, love seats, benches and gliders, arranged around a coffee table, can create an intimate area.

Colorful cushions and pillowsEven the most-loved, highest quality patio set can benefit from replacing old, faded cushions with something new, colorful

and exciting. New cushions can completely change the look of your entire outdoor liv-ing space, and remind you why you fell in love with your furniture in the first place. Don’t just stop with replacing chair cush-ions, however. Add toss pillows in colors or patterns that compliment your chair cushions, and pile them on your outdoor sofa to create a comfortable, bright seat-ing area.

Fabulous firepitsWhen the temperature drops on a spring evening, who wants to head indoors? Add-ing a firepit to your outdoor living space is a great way to extend your enjoyment of it well into the night. You don’t have to be a pro at building a fire to enjoy a firepit, either. Arrange four plushly cushioned rockers around your firepit table, and you have the perfect spot for evening chats.

An enlightened atmosphereSpeaking of evenings outdoors, lights ex-tend your entertaining hours and create inviting ambiance for patios and decks. Choose a mixture of light sources, such as candle-lit lanterns for a warm glow, solar lights to illuminate travel paths, and string lights that cast gentle light from above.

Smart shade sourcesOf course, much of your outdoor time will be spent in the sun, so take steps to provide some shade for your patio or deck. A range of versatile shade sources fit virtually every decor theme, and patio or deck size. Have a large, open concrete patio? A gazebo with a canopy and netting can provide shade and keep insects away from guests and food. Want to move the shade with the sun? An offset umbrella with stand can help you put the shade exactly where you need it at any time of day. Traditional umbrellas shelter seating areas, and add bright pops of color to your outdoor decor.

Multiple seating areasIn addition to the focal point of your patio or deck, use patio furniture to create separate seating areas for more flexible entertain-ing. A small cast iron bistro set or bench situated beneath a tree is a great spot for quiet conversations, sipping your favorite beverage or relaxing with a good book. A glider near the patio or deck is sure to be a favorite spot for parent-child chats.

A great grill stationWhether you prefer a big, beautiful four-burner 48,000 BTU stainless steel gas grill or a traditional round charcoal kettle grill, a well-planned and efficient grilling station is a must for outdoor entertaining. Be sure to outfit your station with your grill of choice, a rack of accessories like a grilling tool set and grill brush, and a cooler for briefly storing food before it goes on the grill.

A greener outdoor environmentIf you truly want to celebrate Mother Nature’s creativity, what better way could there be than to decorate your outdoor living space with her handiwork? Arrange flowers and greens in containers in a variety of shapes and sizes throughout your out-door entertainment area. A small, brightly colored pot of pansies makes a wonderful centerpiece for your patio table. Plant a tall fern or palm in a large, vividly hued pot and use it as a natural division between “rooms” in your outdoor living space.

Five ways to open a worldof flavors in a small space(BPT) - If a big part of your weekend is dedicated to experimenting with recipes and combining ingredients to create new flavors, you just might be a foodie. If you have a checklist of restaurants you’ve been meaning to try but haven’t had a chance to because you’ve been busy eating elsewhere, chances are more than one friend has called you a foodie. Like many people who seek out delicious meals, you probably know what every chef knows: the secret to great cooking is always fresh ingredients.

The best way to ensure fresh ingredients is to grow them yourself. Many who live in urban areas, in condos or in apartments feel that because they don’t have a yard, they can’t grow their own herbs or veg-etables. But some brands are encouraging urban gardening, and have opened a world of herb and veggie plants for those who only have a deck or a windowsill.

To give you an idea of what kind of culinary adventures you can have, here are five tips for vegetable gardening in a small space.

Window box gardeningYou don’t need a big backyard, in many cases all you need is a box and a window. Window box gardening is not only an ef-ficient way to maximize space, but a great way to add an edible aspect to your decor. Try small-space vegetable plants like pep-permint stick celery or masterpiece pea for their unique taste and texture.

Become a homegrown mixologistUse the fresh herbs you grow to make exciting cocktails for your guests. Herbs add depth and personality to cocktails, and even provide some much-needed vitamins, so you’ll be drinking to your health. A few ideas are mint for the perfect summertime Mojitos, rosemary infused greyhounds, or a sprig of parsley and thyme in your Bloody Mary.

Color your worldThere’s an old saying that you should eat the rainbow. Well, you should also grow the rainbow! Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are just some of the veggies that can make up a colorful home display. Best of all, these healthy and delicious veggies, can be grown on your doorstep, balcony or patio.

You’re never too oldto play with your foodGrowing your own vegetables means you have ample opportunity to experiment and “play” with your food. This can be as easy as adding some fresh herbs like mint or rosemary to ice cream or experimenting with pickling using those extra cucumbers you’ve grown.

Whip up a batchof cherry pepper bitesHere’s an example of a killer recipe that brings out the best in your homegrown ingredients.

Prep time 0:15 Serves: 824 mini sweet peppers like‘Cherry Stuffer’ from Burpee plants1 8-oz package cream cheese 1/4 cup fresh oregano, basil or tarragon chopped1 Tablespoon of lemon juice1 Tablespoon of milkFresh herb leaves for garnish (optional)

Cut tops off mini peppers and remove seeds. In a small bowl, blend cream cheese, herbs, lemon juice and milk until smooth. Pipe or spoon cream cheese mixture into the peppers. Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve.

These five tips are only the beginning of what you can do with a home garden. It’s never been easier to enjoy fresh ingredients from your garden, no matter how small a space you have to work in.

Tomatoes are a gardener’s favorite, plant in ground, raised beds or in containers.

What to know aboutapplying for a mortgage(StatePoint) Although homeownership doesn’t make good financial sense for everyone, some experts say you may be qualified to purchase real estate without realizing it.

After receiving your application, along with the required paycheck stubs, W-2s, bank statements and tax returns, lenders will evaluate the four Cs:•Capacity: Your income, employment his-tory, savings, and monthly debt payments

-- such as credit card charges and other financial obligations -- help lenders deter-mine whether you have the means to take on a mortgage comfortably.•Capital: The money and savings you have on hand, plus investments, properties and other salable assets.•Collateral: The value of the home that you plan to buy.•Credit: Your bill- and debt-paying re-cord.
