Visitors to the cafe are invited to donate a gift for a child or woman living at the Sale House.

Police logs By Colette Bauer My two previous arti- cles have dealt with "Gar- dening Truisms." I have covered the following six truisms: 1. The best fer- tilizer for your garden is your own footprints. 2. Weeds are a fact of life. 3. If a plant is said to be in- vasive, you can be sure it is. 4. "Deadheading" is a good thing. 5. If a plant needs full sun, remember- there are many shades of full sun. 6. Too much shade can be as bad as too much sun. This week I would like to add three more gar- dening truths that I have learned over the years: 7. Too much water can be as bad as too little water. 8. There is no plant that is indestructible. 9. Pruning is a good thing. 7. Too much water can be as bad as too little wa- ter. My first experience with this rule was when I asked a friend to water my plants. I was gone for a month and my friend was very diligent. She watered several times a week. How- ever, I failed to explain that the cacti needed very little water. She was con- cerned that the cacti were looking sick so she in- creased the amount of wa- ter. Sure enough, by the time I returned home it was too late. I never did tell her none of the cacti survived. I graciously thanked her — after all, the other plants looked much better than they did under my care. 8. There is no plant that is indestructible (ex- cept possibly weeds). Af- ter a trip to the botanical garden at Fort Bragg, my husband and I returned home with a bag of crocos- mia bulbs. We cheerfully planted them. Then sev- eral, friends announced that crocosmia was a very invasive plant. Mine died (probably a blessing in dis- guise). Then there was the artemisia. It died, too. I never figured out why these two supposedly in- vasive plants didn't sur- vive (possibly gophers). As I watch my friends battle the invasiveness of these two plants, I am thank- ful that I didn't have much money tied up, and that they will not be able to spread into and alter the eco-system of the creek bottom next to my house. 9. Pruning is a good thing. At this time of year we can look at the "bones" of our garden. We have the opportunity to give a nip and a tuck to many of our bushes and trees. The good news is that plants seldom die from pruning and this gives us an op- portunity to shape our gardens for new spring growth. Last fall I cut my Smoke Bush back from 16 feet to six feet in height. Right now it is about twenty feet tall. This year I will cut it back even more to see if I can better con- trol its growth. The final three garden- ing truths I've learned the hard way are that: Too much water can be a bad thing, There is no plant that is indestructible, and Pruning is a good thing. I hope my hard learned lessons will be helpful. Happy gardening. This is the time of year the garden club sets aside for its Holiday Scholarship Boutique featuring fresh green wreaths and ar- rangements.

COURTESY PHOTO By Danielle Spang — BBB AfterThanksgivingcomes one of the biggest shopping days of the year — Black Fri- day. Consumers everywhere will be in search for great deals on products like smart- phones, tablets and toys. But how do you know you're get- ting a great deal, and is it worth waiting in line? Black-Friday-Hype According to DealNews, although Thanksgiving Day is actually the best day to shop if you had to choose one, deals really go on for much longer. It gathered in- formation from the past 3 years, and determined that deals start as early as the Monday before Thanksgiv- ing, and as late as a week after Black Friday. "We've been tracking the expansion of Black Friday for years, and can say with some certainty that these sales will last for nearly two weeks," features writer Marcy Bonebright wrote in Thanksgiving vs. Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday: What to Buy Each Day. So before you commit to waiting hours in line for that great deal, weigh your options and do your home- work to make sure you won't find that same sale on another day. If you are venturing out to do some shopping this holiday, have a game plan and remember to shop smart: 1 Look for ads ahead of time: Do some ad research before you do your shopping and see which re- tailers have the sales you're most interested in. Also be sure to compare prices at different retailers. 2 Read the fine print: When you're going through ads, be sure to read the fine print. Look for exclusions, limits, and information about war- ranties and returns. Learn more about refunds & warranties at http://go.bbb. org/1nbOKiI. 3 Know your retailer: Before shopping with a retailer, read their BBB Business Review at bbb. org. Are there any negative or positive reviews? What about complaints? 4 Keep track of re- ceipts: A er making a purchase be sure to ask for, and keep track of, all receipts. If you're shopping for presents, ask for a gi receipt. Also know about the store's return and exchange policies, and warranty infor- mation. 5 Online: If you're shop- ping online, remember to only use a secure Internet connection, and if possible, use a credit card instead of a debit card.
