Putting the Garden to bed

Putting the garden to bed : a URI Master Gardener Program


The end of the growing season is the time to prepare the growing beds, perennials, lawn and trees for the rigors of winter; to do any fall planting; and to prepare for spring. In this talk we’ll cover what to do to prepare the ground and plants for winter, and spring.

Bill Baddeley has been a URI master gardener since 2014. He gives talks on organic & sustainable vegetable gardening subjects.

 

 

Arguments on whether states have the right to ban guns on private property that's open to the public are being heard by the Supreme Court. At the center of today's case is a Hawaii law that does just that, unless a gun owner has specific permission from the property owner. Similar laws are in effect in California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.        President Trump will head to Switzerland today for the World Economic Forum as he ramps up talk over acquiring Greenland. His designs on the Danish territory have created unprecedented concerns among NATO allies. Also on his agenda is his Gaza Board of Peace, a board set up to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire where Trump holds the only veto.        Stocks are seeing a dip on Wall Street. It comes after President Trump threatened to place tariffs on countries that oppose the U.S. potentially acquiring Greenland. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been down over 600 points at times today.        DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says over ten-thousand arrests have been made in Minneapolis amid the nationwide immigration crackdown. Noem took to X Monday to say over ten-thousand arrests were made of what she called "criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis." The Pentagon is awaiting potential orders to send about 15-hundred troops to Minnesota.        The Supreme Court still hasn't made a ruling on the legality of President Trump's sweeping global tariffs. The justices heard the case in early November and released opinions this morning without a ruling on tariffs. The court's decision could have massive implications for American consumers and businesses, the economy and presidential authority.        There's a big slate of college basketball games on tap tonight. Number two Michigan will host Indiana, number nine Iowa State will welcome in UCF to Ames, number 16 Florida will take on LSU and number 18 Clemson will face off against NC State. Elsewhere, number 23 Saint Louis will visit Duquesne, number ten Michigan State will take on Oregon, number 12 Texas Tech will play Baylor and number 20 Arkansas will go to battle against number 14 Vanderbilt.
