Fresh at the Market
Hopefully your sweetie doesn’t need a reminder that Valentines Day is coming. The Arlington Farmers Market has many treats
and pies and tasty indulgences from the bakeries as well as sugar, honey and all the home made home grown natural sweetness
you’ll need for your Valentine.
Tip of the Month
Here are a few tips from Virginia Cooperative Extension to “Prolong the Life of Valentine Roses”

And to “Prolong the Life of Cut Flowers”
http://www.ext.vt.edu/departments/envirohort/factsheets2/annperbulb/jun87pr2.html
Looking farther ahead to having your own flowers, perhaps you’d like to Plant America’s Anniversary Garden to help
commemorate the 400 anniversary of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. Two red, white and
blue designs are suggested, one for a 30 inch container, and the other for an 8 by 10 foot landscape. Read more at:
