| Botanical Interests Seeds | |||
 It's Time for Seedsby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer Growing up in Connecticut, I watched my Dad (after much prodding from my Mom) haul out the roto-tiller for its annual May foray into the garden. After Dad turned over the soft, dark soil, Mom got started planting seeds and seedlings, which would grow into plants we'd have until the first frost. The only exception was the peas, which she'd yank out at the fourth of July, planting fast-growing green beans in the vacant row. Things are different here in the South. Broccoli planted too late stagnates, unable to grow when the weather gets hot. Lettuces and greens also can't take the heat, although local farmers seem to have luck growing in shady hoop houses. And in the South, there are opportunities for fall gardens, if you plant again mid-summer. If this is your year for gardening, now's the time to think about planting! The NC State Cooperative Extension publishes a vegetable planting guide, which you can download here. Broccoli and beets are both ready to go on March 15; act now to get carrots in the ground before March 1. Get a head start by planting seeds inside, transplanting seedlings to the garden on the appropriate date. There's always a possibility of a late frost, so keep an eye on the weather report, and cover baby plants to protect them if necessary. Once again Weaver Street Market is carrying Botanical Interests untreated, GMO-free seeds in the beautifully illustrated packages. Botanical Interests is a family business in Colorado. Look for herbs and vegetable seedlings to arrive in stores in March. |

 Keep the Earth Clean: Proper Hazardous Waste Disposalby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer Last week we discussed disposal of CFL's at Orange County's Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection site. This site collects other wastes, as well, with the primary goal of keeping hazardous materials out of the landfill to protect groundwater and reduce potential pollution liability. HHW collection is a cooperative program that allows residents of Chatham, Durham, Orange and Wake Counties to bring items for safe disposal. Orange County residents can use the HHW collections in these counties as well. Businesses can use the facility for free if they generate less than 220 pounds of hazardous waste per month. Household Hazardous Waste Collection accepts the following items: lawn, garden, and pool chemicals household cleaners and chemicals all batteries (also accepted at Solid Waste Convenience Centers) paint (empty paint cans can be recycled at the Solid Waste Convenience Centers) sealant solvents aerosol cans (empty aerosol spray cans can be recycled) automotive chemicals fluorescent light bulbs and tubes thermostats and thermometers containing mercury tanks from compressed gasses anti-freeze and other automotive fluids (some are also accepted at Solid Waste Convenience Centers) or any other items in your home that may be hazardous. Bring items in their original containers with original labels intact whenever possible. Do not mix wastes. Do not bring explosives, infectious wastes, or radioactive materials. For more information (including the inspiring story of how motor oil is reused, and instructions for drying out latex paint), visit the County website here. Last year, Orange County citizens recycled 402 tons of hazardous waste, antifreeze, motor oil, oil filters, latex paint, batteries, and electronics. Keep up the good work; take your hazardous waste to the collection site at the landfill on Eubanks Road Monday through Friday from 10 to 6, and Saturday from 7:30 to noon. And visit the links posted here on the County's website to find alternatives to toxic cleaners and pesticides. |
