How to Grow Mums As Fall Flowers- Planting-Fertilizing-Pinching-Transplanting
Chrysanthemums, or simply mums, are a species of perennial flowering plants that bloom in response to the shorter days and longer nights experienced in the Northern Hemisphere in autumn. Mums produce hearty blooms that come in a variety of shapes and colors and last for several weeks. Their dense canopy creates a thick blanket of blooms perfect for planting in gardens, landscape beds or large pots. Watch this short Mum video overview and get your Mums ready this Fall.

Quick Tip: Cleaning Your Gutters
Don’t Ignore Your Gutters
While it’s a job many of us would love to ignore, gutter cleaning is an important twice-a-year ritual all homeowners need to adopt. When clogged gutters overflow, they can cause ice dams on the roof that force water inside your house. They can also get so heavy that they’ll pull the gutters loose and rot the trim and siding. Even if your gutter doesn’t fill to overflowing each season, leaving any decaying debris in there is an invitation to carpenter ants and mosquitoes. If you have a lot of trees around your house, you might want to clean your gutters even more frequently.
Cleaning Your Gutters
There are lots of ways to do the cleaning. You can find inventions like tongs on an extension pole, shop vacuums with gutter nozzles or even a remote-controlled gutter-running robot. But most methods eventually involve getting on a ladder. If you have gutters above the first story or aren’t comfortable on a ladder, you’re better off hiring a pro.
DIY Gutter Cleaning
To clean your gutters yourself, wear gloves, a dust mask, and safety goggles. Make sure your ladder is well-footed at all times and use a ladder stabilizer, or stand-off, to keep from denting and damaging your gutters. Scoop the debris into a garbage bag with a garden trowel, then rinse toward the downspout with a high-pressure nozzle on your hose and scrub it clean. Try to avoid spattering the siding in the process. Next, clear the downspouts with a hose or auger. Installing leaf strainers at the drain tops will cut down on the large clogs.
Maintaining Your Gutters
When it rains, check for leaks and mark them with a china marker so you can patch holes or correct pitch problems when it’s dry. There’s debate about whether gutter caps or screens are worth the investment of up to $7 a running foot. Because nothing keeps all debris out, you still have to have your gutter cleaned every couple of years at least, and screens and caps make it much more difficult and expensive to do it.

Hot Dogs a la Rose 2
Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 handful shredded carrots, optional
1 large onion, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 large tomato, diced
One 12-ounce package hot dogs, sliced about 1/16-inch thick, such as Hebrew National
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, minced
Pita bread, cut in half and toasted, for serving
Directions
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the ginger, garlic, carrots if using, onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are softened and slightly brown around the edges, about 5 minutes.
Add the turmeric, paprika and garam masala and stir quickly, about 20 seconds. Stir in the ketchup and tomatoes, and taste for seasoning; add more salt and pepper if needed.
Add the hot dogs, stirring to cover them with the tomato mixture. Add 1/4 cup water if the mixture is too dry. Cover the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, about 15 minutes.
Taste the hot dogs and season accordingly. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cilantro and transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or serve in the pita bread.
