It's 2008,
Clean it, Fix it, Dump it
IN THE YARD
■ Get
rid of exhausted, leggy or scrawny
houseplants.
■ Find a
new home for plants that need more care and
a greener thumb than you can provide.
■ Survey
your trees. Do they need professional
trimming? Now's the time to think ahead to
hurricane season and start getting your yard
in shape.
■ Ditto
for shrubbery. Is your house so overgrown it
can barely be seen from the street? Time for
a haircut. Ask a landscaper to develop a
plan for an exterior makeover.
■ Survey
the premises: Does your fence need repair or
painting? Have the corners become drop-off
places for toys, junk and debris? Clear them
out.
■ Take
advantage of cool winter weather to start a
garden or improve the one you have.
