Hello fellow readers,Divide and multiply,

and while youre at it,why not move those thatmay be better livingsomewhere else. Ofcourse I am referring to

perennials; not familymembers silly (ahem).Sally from Wind Gap, PAasked if spring is a goodtime to tackle the task.Some say its best to

divide spring andsummer blooming peren-nials in the fall, and fall

bloomers in the spring soall of the plants energycan go to root and leafdevelopment rather thanflowering. Id say themajority of perennialsrecover best if divided inearly spring just as newgrowth is emerging. The

root systems are full ofstored energy and theyare less likely to suffer

physical damage and leafevaporation than whenthey are fully developed.While there are many

spring to-dos, this is onethat I marvel in. Makingmore of what you havewithout spending moneyis like finding a bargain.Sharing with others adds

to the delight! And, itrejuvenates the old andkeeps multiplying plantsunder control.Before you dig up your

plant, water thoroughlyand prepare the hole orgiveaway pot where thedivision is going. Choosea cloudy cool day, ideallywhen light rain is in theforecast to keep rootsfrom drying out. Thereare two basic ways ofdividing perennials.Tough, dense roots likehosta or ornamentalgrasses will need to be

cut apart with a sharpknife or spade. Tangled,fibrous roots or clumpscan be teased apart byhand or with two gardenforks placed back-to-

back then pulled gentlyapart.Speaking of ornamental

grasses, Ive noticedsome have yet to cutdown those left standingfor winter interest. Whilenormally best to cut closeto the ground in March,late doers should cut justabove where the new

blades have sprouted to

not disfigure. Hedgetrimmers, or chain sawfor those braver than I,are perfect tools for thetask. Times a wasting!Garden dilemmas?askmarystone.com

Hey, Doctor Jim! Nowthat spring is here, I needto loose a few winter

pounds. What do youthink is the best diet

plan?By Dr. James R. Fedich,ChiropractorAllamuchyFamilyClinic.com

Today, more than ever,

diet fads are becoming apart of everyones life.Diets are based on every-thing from a persons

blood type, skin color,eye color, and some are

based on nothing at all.Many of these diets areabout deprivation. The

basic idea behind manyof these diets is deprivingyour body of somethingthat it wants and craves.While I dont believe

that you should eateverything that you canget a hold of, your bodycraves things for a

reason. A lot of timeswomen crave chocolateat certain times of themonth due to the highconcentration of magne-

sium in chocolate, anutrient that becomesdepleted. While theremay be better ways to getmagnesium, your body isvery intelligent andknows what it needs tosurvive. Why would younot want to listen to yourown internal regulation

system?Losing weight has andalways will be abouteating less and exercis-ing more. However,depravity is not part ofthat equation necessarily.Your body burnsapproximately 1200calories per day whilelying in bed. If you workduring the day, you can

burn nearly 2000 caloriesa day not doing anythingfor exercise.So, how many calories

are you eating a day;3000, 4000? The key to

losing weight and main-taining that loss is toequal that balance andthen exceed the calorieintake by 500 per day.

A bottle of soda hasabout 250 calories in it.Therefore, if you dranktwo bottles of soda a day,switch to water. Youwould essentially lose a

pound per week if allother intakes were even.Small changes can

make a big difference.

Take the longer walk towork, park your caracross the parking lot,take the dog for a walk,cut out soda, little thingslike this can make a largeimpact.By simply working out

for 20 minutes a day,three to five times aweek, and cutting 500calories out of your dietevery day, you will loseone to two pounds perweek, healthily, happily,and without deprivingyour body. It is the littlethings that matter most in

this world and the sameapplies to becominghealthy. Little changesevery day add up to bigchanges in the end.
