WHAT TO DO FOR YOUR PLANTS IN OCTOBER

as black spot from over-wintering - don't compost the leaves. 14) Clear overhanging plants away from pathways to maintain access routes throughout the garden. 15) Cut back perennial plants that have died down or alternatively leave the dead foliage in place for over-wintering wildlife. 16) Lift and divide any overcrowded herbaceous perennials whilst the soil is still warm. 17) After tidying borders, mulch with bark chips, well rotted manure, leaf mould or spent mushroom compost to insulate plant roots for the winter and keep weed growth in check.

VEGETABLE GARDEN

1) Finish harvesting beans and peas. When beans and peas finish cropping simply cut the plant away at ground level, leaving the roots in the soil. These crops fix nitrogen which is slowly released into the soil as the roots break down. 2) If you plan to grow beans next year, start preparing the site by digging trenches and filling with manure or kitchen waste. 3) Harvest squashes and pumpkins before the first frosts. They will quickly turn mushy if left outside! 4) When you harvest your cabbages, leave the root in the ground and make a cut across the stem to encourage a flush of smaller leaves. 5) Any plants with green tomatoes or peppers remaining can be hung upside down indoors to ripen. 6) Protect autumn cauliflower heads from frost by wrapping the outer leaves around them and securing with string. Alternatively use a cloche or fleece. 7) Continue to plant autumn garlic bulbs now for a bumper crop next summer. 8) Plant autumn onion sets for cropping next summer. 9) Now is an ideal time to invest in mushroom kits. For more information about growing mushrooms see our 'How to Grow Mushrooms'. 10) Cut back yellowing asparagus foliage to within 5cm of the ground. 11) Reuse old grow bags by cutting away the top and sowing late salad crops. Cropping can be extended into winter if grown under glass or a cloche.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR LAWN

1) Clear up fallen leaves regularly to allow light to the grass. 2) A last mowing can be made this month before leaving your lawn for the winter.• Recut any lawn edges if needed. Try installing lawn edging to make future maintenance easier. 3) Finish off essential lawn maintenance to avoid waterlogging and compaction over winter. Try aerating your lawn with a garden fork, raking thatch from the surface and repairing dead patches. 4) Fresh turf can still be laid now. Autumn rains should ensure the turf settles successfully.

These are just a few items to take care of during the month of October to hopefully prepare all of your plants for the fall and winter months.

Article by: Thompson & Morgan

There's always something to be doing in the garden, whether it's pruning, tidying or sowing, so we've put together our top gardening tasks for October.

FLOWER GARDEN

1) Now that colder weather is approaching, protect half-hardy plants with fleece or bring into a frost-free greenhouse. 2) Lift Dahlias tubers, Begonias tubers and Gladiolus corms to store dry over the winter months. Remove the dead foliage before storing them. 3) Plant daffodil bulbs, tulip bulbs and Allium bulbs for a glorious spring display. Dot them through borders or naturalise them in grass. Plant bareroot ornamental trees and shrubs. 5) Plant out any perennials or biennials you've grown

from seed this year. 6) Plant spring bedding such as wallflowers, Bellis, Primulas and winter pansies for a fantastic spring display. 7) If your summer containers are looking past their best, re-plant them with fresh winter bedding plants. For winter plant ideas take a look at our 'How to plant up hanging baskets, flower pouches and containers' article. 8) Autumn is the ideal time to plant Clematis plants. 9) There is still time to direct sow hardy annuals. See 'what to sow and grow in October'. 10) This month is an ideal time to move trees and shrubs, and plant hedges. 11) Hardwood cuttings can be taken now from deciduous shrubs. 12) Prune climbing roses and rambling roses once they've finished flowering and tie in the stems before autumn winds cause damage. 13) Clear up fallen rose leaves to prevent diseases such


RICE CEREAL MONSTERSINGREDIENTS:

8 tablespoons unsalted butter12 cups mini marshmallows (2 bags)

1/2 teaspoon salt12 cups rice cereal1 teaspoon vanilla

32 chocolate or peanut butter candy pieces 16 plastic vampire teeth

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large pot over medium low heat until all marshmallows are melted.

2. Remove from heat and stir in salt, vanilla and cereal until fully coated with marshmallow mixture.

3. Pour mixture into a large greased bowl or baking sheet4. Use a little butter to grease hands and form balls by pressing

firmly and rolling between palms.5. Place tightly pressed balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate

for at least 1 hour before proceeding.6. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut a wedge in the chilled

balls large enough for the teeth to fit inside. Place teeth.7. Cut the ends from both sides of the wedge about 1/2 inch

long.8. Insert the cut pieces into the opening on each side of the

monster's mouth to close up the sides.9. Use the end of a chopstick or similar utensil to make holes for

the eyes. Add candy pieces to the holes sticking straight up.

ORANGE AND CRANBERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL

INGREDIENTS:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together first seven bread pudding until well incorporated. Toss mixture with bread, and let sit for 20 minutes before baking to allow bread to absorb custard mixture.

2. Meanwhile, grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Add bread mixture to pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove and let cool on counter.

3. To make the caramel, add sugar and water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook sugar until amber in color. Swirl pan to ensure even browning, but do not stir. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan.

4. Remove from heat and add cream. (Mixture will bubble up.) Return to heat and bring to a simmer. Stir mixture well, and remove off heat. Stir in salt.

5. Serve warm caramel sauce alongside bread pudding.

Protecting your family starts with protecting your home. But with so many home security resources available out there, gathering home security tips can be a bit overwhelming. We’ve compiled the top ten home security tips to help get you started on home security and protection. All of the tips are easy to implement and inexpensive.

CHANGE THE LOCKS: Remember to change all the locks when you move into a new house. You’ll never know who had access to the keys before you moved in. If you lose the keys to your house, you should also replace all the locks for the maximum home security.

INSTALL AN ALARM SYSTEM: Alarm systems are one of the best forms of home protection. Home alarm systems immediately inform emergency authorities and warn homeowners of any potential dangers. Seeing that a home has an alarm system often prevents an intruder from even attempting a burglary. Hearing an alarm go off usually sends a burglar running.

CONCEAL ALL WIRING: Burglars often look for wiring around the exterior of a house and can cut it to disable the security system. Keep your home security wires hidden.

to Improve Your Home’s Security:GIVE THE APPEARANCE THAT YOUR HOUSE IS OCCUPIED: Professional burglars scour neighborhoods looking for homeowners who are away from their home for an extended period of time. Automatic timers are great ways to turn lights on and off while you’re away.

DON’T LEAVE YOUR KEY IN THE MAILBOX: This is a home security tip that everyone has heard, but many still ignore. One of the easiest ways to enter a home uninvited is by finding a key in the mailbox or under the doormat. Wrap your key in foil and place it in a secret spot that only your family knows about.

LIGHT UP THE ENTRANCE TO YOUR HOME: A smart way to keep thieves away is to utilize lighting. Lighting with an infrared detector automatically turns on when someone is in a specific zone or area. No burglar wants to be in easy view while committing a crime.

INSTALL DEADBOLT LOCKS: All exterior doors should have at least 1 inch thick dead bolt locks. Although more expensive than spring latch locks, dead bolts are much stronger and provide significantly more protection. When installing deadbolts, make sure to leave a minimal amount of space between the door

and its frame, as this provides an opportunity for an intruder to pry the door apart. Doors can be reinforced with plywood or a piece of sheet metal.

USE METAL BARS ON SLIDING DOORS: Any sliding glass doors, patio doors, or sliding windows should have a metal bar that is placed along the bottom track of the door or window. The metal bar will prevent a burglar from forcing the door or window open.

USE INTERIOR DOOR HINGES: If your door has hinges on the outside of your house, an intruder can easily remove the hinge pin to gain entry. For optimal home security, remove the door and reset the hinges so that they are on the inside of the house.

PROTECT YOUR WINDOWS: Burglars often gain entry into homes through windows. Protect these vulnerable areas with window locks and/or burglar-resistant glass. Installing many small panes of glass instead of one large pane of glass is a good option as well.

Remodeling projects always bring up a certain question: is this going to increase the value of the home? No one wants to jeopardize the value of their home, especially when the potential for resale is in the air. On a list of remodeling projects that bring a high return on investment (ROI), kitchens come in near the top.

So, with that being said… why are kitchen remodels so dang popular? Well, we believe it’s because it’s the center of attention and life happens there. Newer model homes incorporate the kitchen and living space with one as an extension of the other. This can usually be referred to as an “open floorplan.” Kitchen nooks with tables and overhang counters with enough space to eat a meal are popular as new kitchen formats bring the cook back into the party. Instead of being relegated to another part of the house and separated by a wall, the cook gets the chance to interact with people while preparing meals. Having enough space so that the party never has to leave the kitchen is what people are interested in when looking at new home designs, and many people are capitalizing on that trend by creating a similar space in their existing homes.

Given the size and scope of pretty much any kitchen, remodeling can be a costly affair. Countertops, appliances, flooring—all of these things add up. Especially when considering any additions that might be included, such as an island. While the cost to renovate the kitchen is higher than some other rooms in the house, the potential to recover it as part of the sale is high, too. The national average cost for a kitchen remodel is around $65,000, but that’s also not taking into consideration the variation of costs of living from region to region. Luckily, the average cost for a kitchen remodel in Georgia is just shy of $25,000.

Ok, so now you’re ready to remodel your kitchen… a popular question among many is, “what aspects should I consider?”

KITCHEN REMODEL

Article by: Ashley Panter, Marketing CoordinatorHarry Norman, REALTORS®


Well, that’s an easy question. Keep it simple! Think about what people want (for resale purposes). There’s no point in spending money to remodel something that potential buyers don’t care about. Real estate agents say that kitchens are one of the first rooms people look at, and when they do, they want to see if the countertops and appliances are updated. A more modern look shows well with potential buyers, so upgrading for both functionality and aesthetics is a viable consideration. Yes, you have to live in the house now and, of course, want to enjoy your new kitchen, but instead of personalizing every detail, perhaps consider choosing more neutral items such as the countertop, cabinets, and appliances that everyone would love. You can still bring your personality into your kitchen with the color of paint you use on the walls and accessories such as chair covers, hand towels, mats, placemats, and more! That turquoise stove and lime green backsplash may be the best thing since sliced bread to you, but the older couple who is looking to buy your home may not be so thrilled about the vibrant modern feel of the most popular room in the house.

Another aspect to consider when remodeling your home is to be careful not to spend so much on your kitchen remodel that the price of the house skyrockets. Potential buyers will love the kitchen, but may not make an offer if the house is priced way over the others in the area... especially if the rest of the house

doesn’t match the new and improved kitchen. Make sure you keep renovation costs moderate so that the house can remain at a competitive price.

Sometimes, less is more, and not everything in the space needs to be replaced. Some things qualify: if the kitchen has older appliances, replacing them is a smart decision. Likewise, if the countertops show wear and should be replaced, do so. But if the kitchen is in good working order, nothing else really needs to be done aside from changing the lighting or paint for a new look. A little bit goes a long way.

For some people, a budget of $25,000 is just out of the question for a kitchen renovation. If that’s the case for you, there are several things you can do yourself that will give your kitchen a fresh design and a more updated feel. For instance: replace the knobs on the cabinets, paint the cabinets, add a backsplash, change the wall paint, install lights under the cabinets, or even add an island can make a huge difference in the feel of the room.

If your budget can stand a little more renovation, some other minor kitchen

remodeling items you could consider are: refacing cabinets and hardware, replacing older laminate countertops with newer laminate styles and adding energy-efficient technology. These renovations will cost about $15,000 to $20,000. It may seem like a lot, but the ROI hovers at around 70%. These numbers make kitchens the best room to remodel in the entire house from a ROI perspective.

People like the look of new things, and while potential buyers don’t necessarily want flashy… sleek and streamlined is always a good aesthetic to aim for. Model homes are full of fancy kitchens, so a resale kitchen has to be appealing, or else the home might be passed over. Upgrading the kitchen is a great way to give the whole home a lift.
