Volunteers keep food distribution system running for 25 years
In 1985, Mary Modder was a single parent on welfare, trying to make ends meet when she learned of a way to save money on her food budget. Her neighbor, who had six children, introduced her to the SHARE program, a not-for-profit, food-buying organization that offers food at reduced costs through a volunteer-run, community-based distribution system.
“You could get $30 worth of food for $12,” Modder said. “I signed up, and my son, who was 4 or 5 years old at the time, and I would help pass food out. I did it for about five years and it was a big help.” View Article

Trumpet vines need to mature
Question: I have a question about some trumpet vines we have planted. We planted them around our fence three years ago. They are growing like crazy but there’s not a flower in sight. They get plenty of sun and seem very healthy, but we were really hoping for some flowers. Should we be cutting them back? We are happy they are spreading along our chain link fence line. — C.T.
Bringing plants indoors
I refuse to admit that summer is coming to a close, but I have been thinking about my houseplants that are spending the summer outdoors. Unlike my usual scramble to get them indoors all at once when the weather changes, I’m going to plan their reentry this year and make it easier on me and them.

Puppy pampering
The down economy doesn’t have local dog owners who pamper their pets cutting out their pooches’ play dates with other canines altogether, but some are tightening the leash a bit to save money — in some cases even spending less on themselves so Fido and Fifi don’t miss play time with the pack.
