Bloomfield's fifth annual Hometown Christmas is on Sunday, December 4

Season’s Greetings. New this year will be a Burlap and Baskets Holiday event at the office of Judy Wise. Wise’s office is located at 15 South Cold Springs Road. Hendrix said Longaberger President and CEO John Rochon Jr. and Tina Smythe, President of Sales and Marketing, are scheduled to be at the event, accompanied by a basket artisan who will weave baskets to give away throughout the afternoon. Carriage rides are set to start at 2 p.m. on the South side of the square, according to Hendrix. Santa Claus will make his first appearance via Fire Truck at 3 p.m., and will visit with children at the Santa House located on the corner of Main Street and Washington Street. Live Christmas music will begin at 2 p.m. on the steps of the Greene County Courthouse. Greene County Boomers, local churches and the Bloomfield Band are scheduled to entertain. Spots are still open to perform, according to Hendrix. Anyone interested in performing should contact Teresa Parkes of First Christian Church. In the event of inclement weather, the Methodist Church will act as the rain location for live music, according to Hendrix.

Alexandria Fair flowers with homegrown pride

Bowers beamed a smile and familiar greeting with an ‘oooh’ as perennial flower display winner Bonnie Rust of Cold Spring set her entries down on a table. “She’s been the champion of flowers for three years now,” Bowers said of Rust. More than 200 people typically bring about 1,200 exhibits to the exhibit hall each year, Bowers said. Rust brought a display of flowering zinnias in a pot in ode to her new granddaughter Rose Katherine Kuntz of Fort Thomas. “She was born two weeks ago,” Rust said. Rust said she gets to show off her love of gardening at the fair each year. “Everything comes out of my yard,” she said. People show off their passion for what they can make inside the exhibit hall. Jean Baker of Alexandria carried canned jellies, salsa and tomatoes in addition to fresh cut flowers and baked goods. “I made peanut butter and chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies,” Baker said. Mike Bezold drove a pickup truck bed full of 4-H fair farm entries grown by his daughter Emma, 12, and Justin 7, from their California, Kentucky, farm. Tomatoes, beans, peppers and giant pumpkins “Last year they won grand champion for vegetables and fruit,” Bezold said. Carrying in a 70-pound pumpkin took the combined strength of Micah Myers, 17, and his brother Daniel 13. Deborah Myers, 16, drove her four siblings with a van full of fair entries from their farm in California. “Everyone grows vegetables and brings something,” she said.

Love blossoms: The gorgeous blossom bursting out all over Britain is not just a joy to behold, says Monty Don

April such as 'Gravenstein', which has magnolia-pink flowers, to the latest, such as the very old variety 'Court Pendu Plat', which can, in a cold spring, blossom as late as June by which time the flowers of most apples are long over. So you need two trees in blossom simultaneously for the bees to be able to pollinate them. They are grouped from 1-7 according to the time they flower - for a tree to be pollinated, you usually need another from the same or adjacent group. For example, an apple in group 3 can be pollinated by another in groups 2, 3 or 4. When you buy a tree, it should clearly state the group on the label.Of course, late-spring frosts can devastate the autumnal harvest by withering the flowers either before they are pollinated or before the fruits have a chance to form. There is nothing we can do about the weather but if you live in a frost pocket or particularly cold area it is wise to select varieties that flower as late as possible or have protection, such as horticultural fleece, to hand for earlier blossom such as plums and peaches.Some fruits are self-pollinating, with both male and female flowers, which makes life a lot easier. These include apple varieties such as 'Spartan' and 'Granny Smith'. 'Conference' pears are self-fertile as are all damsons and most nectarines, peaches and apricots too, so if you are very short of space these are the ones to go for - but to be assured of fruit you are always better off planting at least two of any fruiting tree.And you must have bees to do the pollinating too. Bees are in great danger from the... (it's ... - Daily Mail)
