Local lawn, garden, patio show approaching
Staff Reports
Downtown Seymour will be
blooming with bargains May 20 for
two Seymour Main Street events.
The 16th annual Lawn, Garden
and Patio Show will be from 8
a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Robertson
Parking Lot in the 100 block of
South Walnut Street, behind Peace
Lutheran Church.
Vendors will be displaying
and selling a variety of lawn and
garden items, including flowers,
plants, garden art and landscaping
materials, brooms, hand-painted
items, wood crafts, lawn furniture,
grills, lawnmowers and more.
“We have reached out to more
than 50 previous vendors, and
we have sought out more than a
dozen potential new vendors in
the Seymour area to bring some
new items to the show this year,”
co-chairwoman Stacey Driver said.
“Our goal is to fill the Robertson
Mill lot with approximately 40
to 50 different businesses and
organizations.”
Driver said most of the
vendors have participated in the
show in the past.
“One new vendor I am excited
about is Cookie Hoffman with
Trinity Lutheran High School FFA members arrange plants for sale at
the organization’s booth at the annual Lawn, Garden and Patio Show.

Siam Sandals,” Driver said. “She
will be selling her handmade
sandals this year. We are still in
the middle of collecting vendor
applications, so we are hoping
to add more new names and exciting products.”
Driver said there are plans to
have live music during the show.
“We have reached out to someone to provide music as he has in
the past, but at this time, that detail is not yet confirmed,” she said.

Parking Lot Pickers,
Happy Glampers set in April
By January Rutherford
The Tribune
Seymour Main Street has two upcoming events planned to get more people
to come spend time — and perhaps
some money — downtown. The annual
Parking Lot Pickers and a new Happy
Glampers vintage camper show will take
place this month.
In its fifth year, Parking Lot Pickers
serves as a huge outdoor rummage sale/
flea market, giving people the opportunity
to sell items for cash and for shoppers to
find treasures and bargains.
“This event gives locals a reason to
clean out their garages, attics, basements
and closets and sell those treasures,” said
Gloria Cullison, chairwoman of the event.
It will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 22
in the Walnut Street Parking Lot where the
farmers market is located.
“Most of the vendors are returning,
and some have done it every year,” Cullison said. “I always send something out
afterwards asking for feedback, and most
everybody says they make at least $500. If
you had your own yard sale at home, you
probably wouldn’t make as much.”
After checking out the sale, people can
then explore the downtown, visit shops
and stop to eat at one of the restaurants, she said.
Parking Lot Pickers started four
years ago after Cullison learned about
a similar event in Bloomington called
Junk in the Trunk.
Proceeds benefit Seymour Main Street,
which strives to preserve and promote
Seymour’s downtown historical district
and conducts community events, including the Lawn, Garden and Patio Show and
Downtown Trick-or-Treat.
One week after Parking Lot Pickers, a herd of vintage campers, known as
glampers, will take over the Walnut Street
parking lot for the first Happy Glamper
show. They will be set up April 28 and 29.
Becky Schepman, executive director of
Seymour Main Street, said about a dozen
campers are expected to be on display,
and there also will be food trucks and live
music. People will get to step inside and
tour the campers and talk to owners about
the renovations they’ve made and their
“glamping” adventures.
“This event will be perfect for people
of all ages as it will be lots of fun to tour
the vintage campers and see how they
have been restored to their former glory,”
Schepman said. “There are several other
vintage camper rallies going on across
the nation this summer, and Seymour is
thrilled to be kicking it off right here in
downtown Seymour.”
The idea for the vintage camper
event came from Rita Wischmeier, Karen
Clark and Mike Kopp.
“Rita and Karen both have vintage
campers and have enjoyed traveling

around and going to these events,” Schepman said. “There are apparently quite a
few vintage campers in our area and the
surrounding area.”
Schepman said she is working with
people to plan events to pull people
downtown and hopefully get them to
spend their morning checking out the
event and then going downtown for
lunch and shopping.
“If it goes well, we would like to make
it an annual event and add to it every year
with more campers and more activities,” she said.

Finding feeders for feathered friends
place in freezer. Squares can be stuck on tree

— Bring on the bacon. Save the grease
from your breakfast bacon to make a good
winter treat for birds. Mix one cup of bacon
grease with one cup of peanut butter and
two cups cornmeal. This treat can be spread
right on a tree trunk.
— Fresh fruit feast. Apples: cut in half
and skewer onto tree branches to attract
robins, blue jays, bluebirds, woodpeckers,
gray catbirds and others. Oranges: cut in
half and skewer onto tree branches to attract
orioles, woodpeckers, thrashers, tanagers,
rose-breasted grosbeaks and others. Grape:
hang bunches of grapes from tree branches
to attract robins, mockingbirds, bluebirds,
towhees, woodpeckers and others.
— Birds and berries. Collect bunches
of red berries from holly, spicebush or
dogwood. Tie each bunch tightly with a
string, leaving about eight inches to wrap
around a tree branch.
— String popcorn and cranberries. Just
like people do to decorate a Christmas tree,
hang the natural garland of popcorn and
cranberries on a tree or bush outdoors —
fun craft for kids.
— Indian corn. Tie a string tightly
around a bunch of Indian corn, leaving
eight inches to wrap and tie it all tightly
to a tree branch.
By Kathy Van Mullekom
Daily Press (Newport News, Va.) (TNS)
After redoing our 10-year-old yard
with new plants and patio, we added the
icing on the cake — bird feeders for our
feathered friends.
After planting eastern red cedars, hollies
and other bird-attracting plants in the natural area out back, we visited several birding
stores to select a feeding system.
In the past, we built our own systems.
Our favorite was a 10-foot-long 4-by-4
cemented in the ground and outfitted with
squirrel- and raccoon-deterrent baffle and
four 12-inch, vinyl-coated hooks. Caged
feeders fend off squirrels and nuisance birds.
This time, we purchased an advanced
feeder pole system and feeders from
Wild Birds Unlimited in Virginia Beach,
Virginia, part of a national franchise of
stores — www.wbu.com.
Feeder poles 101
I have had feeder poles before and disliked them because they twisted, turned and
leaned in soft wet soil. It’s mainly why we
did the 4-by-4 post and cement — nothing
short of an earthquake was going to move
that contraption.
The advanced pole system, however,
looks sturdy, thanks to a stabilizer that slips
onto the pole and into the ground. Installation is simple and straightforward — twist
the 48-inch base pole 16 inches into the
ground and then slide the stabilizer onto the
48-inch section. Several months later, the
pole still stands straight, despite gusty winds
and drenching rains.
Snap-on, snap-off extensions give you
a pole as tall or as short as you want. A
double-crook arm provides hangers for two
feeders; add a second arm for four feeders.
Accessories such as a decorative finial, sidedish feeder, decorative branch perch and
suet cage with bracket attach easily. Because
the pole is located in the middle of the lawn,
close to a window where I can watch birds
as they feed, I placed a Yard Tuff mulch tree
ring on the ground around the pole; the ring
makes it easy for the mower and trimmer to
go around the feeder system.
Nuisance-proof feeders
I am a longtime, diehard fan of caged
bird feeders because they, along with a
baffle, keep out squirrels, raccoons and
unwanted birds like grackles and common
blackbirds. Successful caged feeders have a

wide, wide space between the feeding tube
and the outside cage so paws and beaks can’t
reach through and sneak a snack.
Easy-clean feeders are another good way
to go. Some brands like Duncraft feature
a pull-and-slide feature that frees all the
feeding ports so you can scrub and rinse
them, then reassemble the feeder without
much effort. Other brands have bottoms
that release and feeding ports that snap
out for easy access, too. These feeders will
cost you more than one-piece units, but the
price is worth it.
Favorite foods

lMealworms: bluebirds.
lSunflower meats: bluebirds, warblers,
robins and woodpeckers.
Homemade bird treats
Here are some easy-to-do bird treats,
courtesy Cole’s Wild Bird Products — http://

— Pine cone feeder. You need one large
pine cone, string or ribbon for hanging,
smooth or crunchy peanut butter and bird
seed. Tie a piece of string or ribbon around
the large pine cone, leaving about eight
inches to wrap and tie around tree branch
or large shrub limb. Spread peanut butter
all over the pine cone, and be sure to fill the
crevices. Then roll the peanut butter-coated
pine cone in birdseed. Hang high from a tree
branch. Great winter craft project for kids.
— High energy homemade suet for
winter. You need one cup of vegetable shortening, one cup of peanut butter (smooth or
chunky), two cups of quick-cook oats, onethird cup sugar, and one cup white flour.
Melt shortening and peanut butter together
until well blended, and then stir in the rest
of the ingredients. Pour mix into a square
container about two inches deep. Allow
the mix to cool. Cut into squares, bag and
lSunflower: chickadees, titmice,
nuthatches, cardinals, grosbeaks,
sparrows, blackbirds and jays.
lWhite millet: ground-feeding birds like
towhees, juncos, song sparrows, doves and
Indigo bunting.
lSafflower: cardinal,
chickadees and titmice.
lNyger or thistle: finches.

Spring cleaning
do’s and don’ts:
8 tips from professionals
By Tricia Romano
The Seattle Times (TNS)
Your store for all your Lawn & Garden needs!
It’s spring and for some reason, the whole
country gets obsessed with cleaning out
their entire house, from the closets to the file
cabinets to the shelves in the garage.
“This is when it starts, when the sun
starts to come out and people are getting a
grip on their holiday spending,” says Gea
Bassett, founder of Green Cleaning Seattle.
“As the real-estate market tends to come back
alive in the spring, we get turnover cleanings,
and move-in/move-out cleanings. The end
of March through all of summer tends to be
the busiest time.”
Spring cleaning is upon us, and apparently, we are all doing it wrong. I asked Bassett and a couple of personal organizers and
professional house cleaners for the do’s and
don’ts of the Big Clean.
SEYMOUR ACE HARDWARE
229 S. CHESTNUT ST. • SEYMOUR, IN
(812) 522-2098
Don’t: try to do it all at once
Do: take on one area
or task at a time
Whether you are cleaning or organizing,
pick a small area and focus on that alone.
Choose the closet, or the kitchen, or the
bathroom, do not move, do not pass go, do
not collect $200.
“You should just organize two or three
hours at a time. Do what is obtainable,”
says Denise Allan, a certified professional
organizer, and the owner of Simplify Experts.
“I’m going to hit my lower cabinets on this
side of the kitchen today. Next time I come
in, I’ll do the lower trunk and four drawers.”
Higbee agrees and even uses this tactic
for her own life: “This weekend all I did was
clean every trash can and every sink that
had a trash can.”
Store Hours: Monday through Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm • Saturday: 8:00 am to NooN
Fotolia
And, she adds: “I pick one project a
weekend. And it’s only a couple of hours.
Whatever I think will take an hour,
it’s really two.”
So, stay laser focused. It will make it
easier to follow the next step.
Don’t: spring clean
“Every seven years a standard American
family can fill a large dumpster in their yard,”
Allan says. “We just bring so much in.” If you
have children, that means even more stuff,
especially as younger kids grow so quickly,
shedding their clothes and outgrowing
their toys. She advises to clean or organize
a couple of times a year. Better still, do it
throughout the year.
Do: finish what you started
This goes hand-in-hand with Don’t Try
to Do It All at Once, says Allan. “Not going
through stuff all the way, and getting started
and stopping” is one of the biggest mistakes people make.
There’s a practical method to the madness, she says. “For your kitchen to function
well, you have to have gone through all the
drawers and know where things are.”

“The biggest mistake is to try and do
it all in one weekend and try and do too
much,” says Jessica Higbee, who oversees
the training for new employees at April
Lane’s Cleaning.
“When people call me to go into their
house, they say, ‘I need to organize the whole
house,’” says Cindy Jobs, the president of the
National Association of Personal Organizers
and the owner of Organize to Simplify. “We
are not going to organize the house in the
next four hours,” she says. Instead, “Prioritize
based on what bothers you the most.”

Seven garden myths busted
By Mary Beth Breckenridge
Akron Beacon Journal (TNS)
Years ago my father-in-law kept a stash of
Juicy Fruit in his underwear drawer so he could
roll up the sticks of gum and poke them into
mole holes in his backyard.
He’d heard the trick would kill the pesky
critters, apparently from a buildup of undigested
gum. But all he got out of his efforts was fruitysmelling underwear.
That’s because the Juicy Fruit ploy, like many
folksy lawn and garden remedies, is pure hooey.
And Eric Barrett, an educator with the Ohio State
University Extension’s Mahoning County office,
is out to set the record straight.
Barrett recently busted a few widely held
gardening myths during the Saturday Gardening
Series, an educational program organized by the
Summit County Master Gardeners.
Here are some of them.
Myth
Chemicals are bad
for your landscape.
it needs magnesium, Barrett said. If it does, correct the problem by adding dolomite lime in the
amount recommended in the soil test report.
Myth
Adding aspirin to the water will
keep cut flowers fresh longer.
Fact
Aspirin won’t keep flowers fresh. Neither will adding wine, pennies or a drop of
bleach to the water.
Barrett said it may help to use a floral preservative, but it’s more important to sanitize the
vase, recut the stems, remove any leaves that fall
below the waterline and check the water level
daily. Keeping flowers away from hot or cold
drafts also helps prolong their life, he said.
Myth
Peonies need ants on them
to bloom properly.
Fact
Fact
Any substance you use in your yard or
garden has a chemical makeup, whether it’s
natural or synthetic. What’s more important, in
Barrett’s view, is the effect the substance has on
the environment.
It’s important to find out about the properties
of any treatments you use, he said. Even natural
or organic remedies that seem benign could
harm soil, wildlife, water or other elements of
our natural world.
And remember, too much of anything is
never a good thing, he cautioned.
Myth
Adding eggshells to the hole when
you plant tomatoes will prevent
blossom end rot.
Fact
Blossom end rot — a disease that causes
dark spots to develop on the bottom of tomatoes
— happens when a plant can’t take up calcium
from the soil, usually because the plant has gone
without water for too long. That can happen even
when the soil has plenty of calcium in it, be it
from eggshells or any other source.
The best way to prevent blossom end rot is
to make sure tomato plants get a consistent and
adequate supply of water, Barrett said. An Ohio
State fact sheet recommends 1 to 1 1/2 inches
of water a week.
Myth
Epsom salts are a cure-all for
countless garden problems.
Fact
This is a case where too much of a good
thing can be bad.
Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, so they
add magnesium — an important plant nutrient — to the soil.
The problem is many gardeners use Epsom
salts indiscriminately, which can cause too much
magnesium to build up in the soil. That can prevent plants from taking up other nutrients.
Better to test your soil to determine whether
The presence of ants has nothing to do
with successful blooming, Barrett said. The
reason ants often congregate on peonies is
they’re attracted to the sugary liquid secreted by
the flower buds.
The ants aren’t helpful, but neither are they
harmful, he said.
Myth
Putting gravel in the bottom of
flowerpots improves drainage.
Fact
Surprisingly, research shows this common
practice doesn’t help and might actually slow
water flow, Barrett said.
A better strategy, he said, is to use a soilless
potting mix instead of a mix containing soil, and
to make sure the container has drainage holes.
Myth
Spread diatomaceous earth
around plants to deter slugs.
Fact
Gardeners often recommend creating a
rough surface out of diatomaceous earth, crushed
eggshells or other sharp substances, in the hope
that slugs won’t want to crawl over them. But in
reality, slugs create so much slime that they can
even cross a razor blade, Barrett said.
He has a better approach: Lay pieces of damp
cardboard around the plants. The slugs will
congregate under the cardboard, making it easy
to collect and destroy them.
So if these widely held gardening beliefs are
wrong, how can you tell what’s right?
University researchers are constantly working
to determine what works in our landscapes and
what doesn’t. While there’s still more research
to be done, Barrett said, their findings offer reliable guidance on pretty much any lawn
or garden issue.
The extension services at land grant universities such as Ohio State are great resources. It’s
the job of those services to share research-based
information with the public.
Let’s all commit to gardening better and
more responsibly.
Spring cleaning continued from page 3
Don’t: clean whenever
you feel like it
Don’t: overlook
the small things
Cleaning some easy-to-miss items
can make a big difference.
“The big things are probably
baseboards and spot cleaning on the
walls that really make a house look
and feel a lot cleaner, but we all tend to
overlook doing,” says Bassett. “On our
checklist: We wash baseboards and the
wall, light switches, anywhere someone
Fotolia
would put their hands or a dog or boot
would scuff up.”
Yeah, it’s tedious, but that’s the
difference between truly deep cleaning
and straightening up.
Do: clean from top to bottom
Don’t start with the toilet and the
tub and then do the sink, or you’ll
end up going over the same areas
twice, says Bassett.
“The most obvious is a simple
thing: Go from top to bottom, knock-

ONION SETS
SEED POTATOES

POTTING SOIL
Do: ask for help
When the task seems too large, call
upon friends, family, or — if it’s really
overwhelming — a professional.
“If you have someone to talk to
while you are doing it, it makes it more
fun,” Jobs says. “Especially with cleaning. If you live with anybody, you didn’t
make the entire mess yourself, so there’s
no reason to do it all yourself.” Besides,
she says, “It’ll make you cranky.”
And no one wants to be cranky,
even if it means a clean house.
