    Several missed our Valentine banquet. Maybe the cold night had something to do with our crowd. The fellowship was good, the food too and our entertainment. Randy Dunnam was supposed to sing but was only able to do one number because of a cold. His daughters filled in for him and were well received. Sela Smith, one of our own also sang and Brother Bobby brought a short devotional.

  • Gardening with Tim

    Now that you have most of your heavy pruning done, it’s time to spray. A good dormant oil will help take care of pests that have made it through the winter. Be sure to spray the underside of the foliage as well as the ground around the plant. You want to make sure that when you spray with a dormant oil that the temperature will not drop below freezing for a 24-hour period. I recommend spraying with a good fungicide at this time to try to keep diseases and fungus under control. If you have roses, ARS Judge and Master Rosarian, Jimmy Moser recommends spraying with a lime sulfur spray.
