Tip of the Day: Late Summer Gardening

It is that time of year again folks: time to encourage those last tomatoes to ripen up before the first frost of late October. This article had some good advice for prompting tomato plants to spend their time on ripening rather than making more fruit -- it is funny too.
Of course most people know to pluck off any new shoots or blooms but picking the smaller fruit that will not mature in time is something else that helps the plant get on with the business of ripening the remaining tommies.
Well worth the time it takes to read it!

Northeast Region Sales Rise

Existing home sales continue to decline nationally according to the National Association of Realtors. The median price of a home sold in July was 228,900, which is down 0.6 percent from July 2006 (230,200). The decline in July the 12th month of downward movement set a new record.
In the Northeast, however, both the median price (290,900) and the number of units sold rose. The number of sales increased 1 percent from last month while the median price of homes increased 5.9 percent from a year ago.

Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist said, "The rise in sales and prices in teh Northeast region on a fairly consistent basis in recent months is promising because this was the first region that underwent sales and price weakness after the boom. Now, it appears that it will be the first region to climb back, indicating that other regions could follow a similar path."

While the things are looking up in the region New Jersey continues to have homes selling at reasonable prices.
