 Trees that “Bleed” in Spring It is a common myth that trees which “bleed” should not be pruned in Spring.   The fact is, little injury is done when pruning cuts are made correctly. Any cut made on a tree is a wound; however, this wounding can be minimized by making proper pruning cuts by not cutting into the “branch collar”. If the sap is considered unsightly, then the trees can be pruned after the leaves have formed. Generally most trees can be pruned at any- time of the year. American Elms and Oaks should be avoided during summer months because pruning at this time could make them more susceptible to Dutch Elm Desease and Oak Wilt. Trees in the urban landscape do not “self” prune themselves as they do in the forest. Therefore, aesthetics, safety, and health are all important reasons for pruning trees. Also, thinning and removal of low limbs will aid in light penetration, thus improving other plants and lawn areas beneath the tree. Even on a tight budget, barbecue parties can provide outdoor fun SPECIAL TO HOMES PLUS (NewsUSA) – Simplify your summer entertaining and save money by heading outdoors for a barbecue. They’re the per- fect way to enjoy friends, food and the beautiful weather. Here are some practical tips to help you save money while making every barbecue a fun-filled and delicious event: - Use simple decorations. The summer sky and the great outdoors provide natural beauty, so there’s no need for ice sculp- tures or china plates. Inexpensive table cloths and color-coordinated plasticware provide ample decoration. For a simple centerpiece, pick flowers from your yard, and place them in a vase or plastic pitcher. - Keep bugs away by using citronella candles. They provide light and help keep gnats and mosquitoes off  guests. - Use disposable plates, napkins and utensils to make cleanup easy. - At the start of  summer, stock up on grilling supplies, which can be found inex- pensively at discount stores. If  needed, buy a new grill. And, don’t forget accessories like scrubbers, grill and basting brushes, baskets, forks and spatulas. - Plan a simple menu, which will help keep costs low. Choose your main dish, such as hot dogs or hamburgers, and build your menu around it. Serve side dishes that are inexpensive and easy to prepare such as potato chips, pretzels, canned baked beans and pasta salad. Or make your party a potluck and have your guests bring the side dishes. - Build a condiment bar, including essentials such as ketchup, mustard, may- onnaise, pickles and relish. - And don’t forget drinks. Fill a plastic tub with ice for serving cold drinks such as soda, juice boxes and bottled water. - End your barbecue on a sweet note. Use brownie, cake or cookie mixes to make a sweet treat without any mess or fuss. For a cool treat, make a pitcher of  Kool-Aid, pour it into ice trays, insert popsicle sticks into each cube and freeze.
