Get Excited For Spring Vegetable Gardening BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

et ready to dig into spring as the garden is slowly waking up. Although many people typically think of tulips and daffodils at this time of year, now is also the time to ‘dig in’ and plant your cool weather vegetables. ‘ Start by deciding where the garden will go and how much space you have available. Look for an area that has full sun throughout the day. Next determine the size of the space you have. Measure it and jot down the measurements for when you go to the nursery to shop for plants. Next, it’s time to get digging. Vegetable gardens prefer rich, dark soil. Dig down into the dirt with a garden shovel and loosen it up. The
soil should drain well so water does not sit in puddles for any length of time. If your soil is poor add compost. Here’s the hard part—using restraint when choosing your veggies. I know you want to buy them all but you should only buy what you have room to grow. By following the spacing requirements for each plant, you will grow more fruit, your plants be happier and there will be less possibility of insects and disease. Now through mid-April is a great time to plant cool weather crops such as lettuce, onions, carrots, kale, radishes and spinach to name a few. These types of veggies
perform best in daytime temperatures that are around 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit and will tolerate some light frost. They are harvested in late June through July before the heat of summer. It’s important to be water-wise. Water your vegetable garden only when the soil is dry and needs it. Deep, but infrequent watering two or three a week is best if there is no natural rainfall. More is not always better—excess watering may encourage insect and disease problems. As for the soil, choose an organic, slow release vegetable fertilizer for your plants. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer you choose. Again, more isn’t
always better. Fresh picked vegetables from your own garden are tastier and more nutritious than store-bought vegetables. And, vegetables really grow themselves—all you have to do is help them out a little so they can be their best. Spring is a wonderful time to get outdoors, enjoy the cool spring air and dig in to cool weather vegetable gardening. Karen Musgrave, CNLP, is a marketing and education specialist at Hicks Nurseries

Bethpage State Park
While Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale is best known for its five world-class, world-renowned golf courses, hosting more than 200,000 rounds of golf per year, there are also plenty of other activities for visitors to enjoy as spring is in full swing. The park also offers designated picnic areas, playing fields, playgrounds and grilling
For those who love shoreline views and spending a day on the beach, Sunken Meadow State Park in Kings Park is a great option as the springtime days get warmer. Sunken Meadow offers one the most stunning views of the Long Island Sound from its North Shore beachfront, turning it into a summer hot spot as well. The park is a perfect place to spend the day, as it offers a wide variety of outdoor activities including biking, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, and windsurfing. Picnicking, grilling and playground areas are also accessible, along with playing fields and a designated dog walk trail. With all it has to offer and warmer months approaching, Sunken Meadow is certainly worth a visit.

Gardening Made Easy For Beginners BY RAE STEINBACH
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
I
t can seem difficult to fit a garden into your busy schedule and limited space, but gardening is a relaxing and engaging hobby that can also have significant benefits on your mental health. Spring is the perfect time of year for many plants, making it a great time to start your first garden. On the other hand, plants can die for a number of reasons, and managing your first garden can be overwhelming with so many tasks to stay on top of. These tips will help you keep your plants healthy throughout the spring and have the garden you’ve dreamed of by the end of the summer.
Find a well-lit area
There may not be many places in and around your home that see consistent natural light, especially if you live in a small apartment. That said, most garden plants need several hours of light each day in order to grow effectively, so it’s important to put them in the best location possible. If you aren’t able to find a place for your plants that receives a sufficient quantity of light, consider switching
to seeds that grow well with less light. A variety of suitable house plants, including ivy, snake plants, and a wide selection of ferns, can be grown effectively in a low-light environment.
Supplement your soil
It’s common for new gardeners to assume that their plant will grow to the same size in any soil, but the truth is that the pH level of the soil as well as other factors can influence plant growth. Soil test kits are widely available for purchase, or you can contact a local laboratory for professional services. Gardeners often choose to add compost and other natural ingredients to their soil, all of which promote plant growth. When working in a yard, a lightweight wheelbarrow can help you carry these materials;

you don’t want to hurt yourself lugging around heavy bags. Start with a mixture of compost, grass clippings, old leaves, and manure if available for the best possible results. Additionally, a laboratory will also be able to provide information on any nutrients lacking in your soil sample.
Regularly check and maintain your plants
Much of the work involved in gardening happens at the front end, but growing plants require consistent watering as well as weeding and fertilization. Newly planted seeds should be watered every day, but you can eventually reduce the frequency as they begin to grow. Fertilizing your plants can also have a positive effect on their growth, so use a dry fertilizer roughly halfway through
the growing season to help your plants stay healthy. Liquid fertilizers, on the other hand, should be applied roughly once a month for best results. Gardening can be an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding hobby, but it’s easy to become discouraged quickly if things don’t go your way. These gardening tips are all you need to get your first garden started and do everything you can to help your plants grow.

Tips To Manage Seasonal Allergies
D
id you know that more than 24 million Americans—and 6 million children—suffer from seasonal allergies? We are near the peak of allergy season when dry, watery itchy eyes, sneezing and stuffiness take over what should be a bright and happy welcome to spring. Allergic rhinitis, or more commonly known as allergies, is an inflammatory disease which develops when your immune system becomes sensitized and overreacts to something in the environment. The most common seasonal allergies stem from tree pollen. There are two types of allergies: seasonal and perennial. People with seasonal allergies are typically affected by allergen prevalent throughout the various seasons, namely spring, summer, and fall. These allergens can be from mold spores or pollen from trees, grass or weeds. Conversely, those with perennial allergy experience allergy symptoms face year-round afflictions, most commonly related
to dust mites or pet dander. Allergy symptoms typically include itchy nose, itchy eyes and throat, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose or feeling tired due to poor sleep. “While many of us know about allergy symptoms, we may not correlate the constant fatigue felt throughout the day with them directly. When allergies are severe enough, it can negatively impact your quality of life,” said Dr. Robert Marchlewski, an allergist and asthma specialist at ENT and Allergy Associates in Garden City. “We suggest that individuals consult their allergist to get a better idea of their own allergies and find the best path forward in treating them.”
Allergy testing is one of the most certifiable means in which to identify potential allergies. Through skin-prick testing or blood examinations, physicians can more accurately predict allergic reactions. Correctly identifying allergy triggers is a key component of effective management. Treatment options for allergies can vary based on the person, but the most common and accessible treatment options are environmental control, medications, and immunotherapy. For the upcoming pollen allergy season, there are steps you can take to help to reduce your allergy symptoms. Try staying indoors whenever possible, especially when pollen counts
are high or at their peak. You also may want to keep windows of your home, workplace and car closed during peak pollen seasons. It’s also a good idea to use air conditioning whenever possible, especially in warmer weather. Be sure to wash your hands and face to remove pollen and shower and shampoo your hair at bedtime to wash off accumulated pollens. It’s also smart to wash bedding once a week using hot water. For persistent symptoms, many allergy sufferers pursue the use of medications—either prescribed or over-the-counter—to ease the harsh allergy side effects. Intranasal steroid and antihistamines are commonly used for this purpose. For some, immunotherapy may be recommended, of which there are two types: allergy shots and sublingual tablets (under-the–tongue).

A Bird’s Eye View
A roundup of the best places for bird watching on the island
Floral Park’s Centennial Gardens (Photo by Anthony Murray)
BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurraY@antonmediagroup.com
S
pringtime is officially upon us. But we’re not the only ones who are ready to enjoy the nice weather. Our feathery friends are too, and here are some local places where you can spot them on the island.
1
Centennial Gardens
Located in Floral Park, this 12-acre parcel of land serviced the residents of the Village of Floral Park for more than 70 years as an active storm basin. After years of deciding on how to reinvent the active storm basin, the village converted a portion of a storm basin into a bird sanctuary and special planting area. Spot some of your favorite birds including robins, cardinals, starlings, blue jays, morning doves, mockingbirds, gold finches and many more. 251 Floral Pkwy., Floral Park.
2
Cold Spring Harbor State Park
Cold Spring Harbor State Park is another great choice to spot birds. The park is comprised of 40-acres of hilly terrain offer scenic views of the Cold Spring Harbor and is also ideal for observing spring and fall migrations of a variety of songbirds. Cold Spring Harbor State Park is home to great horned owls and red-tailed hawks and serves as the northern trailhead of the Nassau Suffolk Greenbelt Trail that extends to Bethpage State. 95 Harbor Rd., Cold Spring Harbor.
3
Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located on the north shore of Long Island, which has 3,209-acres and is designated 12A | SPRINGTIME! • APRIL 3 - 9, 2019
as a significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat. The refuge is especially important for wintering waterfowl such as black ducks, greater scaup, bufflehead, canvasback and long-tailed ducks. A variety of other water birds including shorebirds, terns and cormorants also use Oyster Bay. Oyster Bay has the greatest winter waterfowl use of any of the Long Island national
wildlife refuges. The refuge is open to the public, although there is no physical address. Call 631-286-0485 or email longislandrefuges@fws.gov.
4
Garden City Bird Sanctuary
Similar to Floral Park’s Centennial Gardens, Garden City’s Bird Sanctuary was a former storm water basin. After redevelopment of the area, the bird sanctuary is now is a seven-acre community nature preserve and is managed by The Garden City Bird Sanctuary, Inc., a certified nonprofit organization. Some of the birds that can possibly be seen include the American crow, the Northern cardinal, red-tailed hawk, ruby-throated hummingbird and more. Opposite 181 Tanners Pond Rd., Garden City.
Feed, Feed Birdie BY ANTHONY MURRAY Not only is watching birds a fun activity to do during the springtime, but feeding birds can also be a fun downtime activity too. Wild Birds Unlimited of Syosset is one place where you can find a wide variety of different bird food and other bird-related items. Stella Miller who is the Conservation, Education and Outreach manager at Wild Birds Unlimited recently answered some questions about the bird food related products. Located at 625 Jericho Tpke., Wild Birds Unlimited offers expert advice and solutions to its customers and hosts monthly programs, events and workshops while providing information and guidance on how to create backyard habitats for birds and other wildlife with native plants, and important information about issues that birds face. Q: Is there a certain type of bird food that is favored/best? A: You just cannot go wrong with black oil sunflower, either in the shell or shelled. The seeds are meatier with a higher oil content, providing birds with more nutrition and energy than other seed.
5
Elizabeth A. Morton Wildlife Refuge
The Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge, a 187-acre peninsula on Noyack and Little Peconic Bays, boasts exceptionally diverse habitats. Established in 1954, the Morton National Wildlife Refuge consists of upland forest, fields, ponds, salt marsh, beach and a lagoon. These habitats are used by a variety of wildlife including white-tailed deer, eastern chipmunk, painted turtles, green frogs, songbirds and osprey. Piping plover, terns, and other water birds use the beach during the spring and summer months. Elizabeth A. Morton Wildlife Refuge is located at 2595 Noyack Rd., in Sag Harbor.
Black oil is easier for small birds to crack due to a thinner shell. Peanuts are another highly desirable food if you want to attract woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and titmice. Q: Why are bird feeders so important and what should consumers know if new to this? A: Feeding birds a high quality diet is important because it helps give them a leg up when times are rough. During the winter that extra energy is sometimes the difference between life and death during a frigid night; and during spring when food is scarce because winter seeds have been depleted and insects have yet to hatch out. Come fall, birds need to fatten up for migration as well as the colder weather. Offering your backyard birds a high quality food as well as a water source is not just good for them—it brings joy to us and helps foster an awareness of our natural world and the wildlife that we share that world with. Q: What are the expenses/investment like to maintain a bird feeder? A: Feeding birds doesn’t have to be expensive nor time consuming. We can assist customers with a wide range of feeders to suit every budget and lifestyle. But, fair warning it can become addicting.

s the weather turns warmer and the sun shines a bit brighter, mornings and weekends can be the perfect times to take a hike along one of the many trails in Nassau County. Grab a walking stick and maybe your pup or two, drive over—or walk depending how much movement you want to do that day—to a local trail for some fresh air and the natural beauty of the outdoors. Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail
Extending from Massapequa to Woodbury along the border of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail is about 15 miles long and takes about eight hours. The route begins at the east end of Massapequa station and walkers then head east on a paved path between the railroad tracks and chain-link fence, which leads to a junction with another path. While on the path, hikers will come upon
the west shore of the Massapequa Reservoir, a popular spot for fishing with breathtaking views.

Welcome Back To The ’80s
American artist Eric Fischl brings the decade to life BY ELIZABETH JOHNSON
ejohnson@antonmediagroup.com
T
he ’80s are back in fashion again and the Nassau County Museum’s latest exhibit allows visitors to experience That ’80s Show Rebel with a Cause, which runs from March 16 to July 7. The ’80s were extravagant, the time of Studio 54, Charlie’s Angels, the 1980 Winter Olympics with the U.S. hockey team winning the gold medal, and punk rockers, just to refresh your memories. Museum president Angela Susan Anton was pleased to kick off the evening’s event. The curatorial advisor of the show was Eric Fischl, a New York artist, who is an international art star and is considered to be a painter of the suburbs. He and
museum director Charles Riley, have put together a dynamic show featuring more than Eric Fischl one hundred (Photos by E. Johnson) works by all of the great personalities of the ’80s, including Fischl, April Gornik, Julian Schnabel, David Salle, Ross Bleckner, Bryan Hunt, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, Jenny Holzer, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annette Lemieux, Charlie Clough,
Keith Haring, New York Studio by Tseng Kwong Chi Tseng Kwong Chi, Jonathan Lasker and many others. Fischl was born in New York City and grew up on suburban Long Island. He began his studies at Arizona State and received his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from California Institute of the
Arts. He taught at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where he met his wife, April Gornik. Both Gornik and Fischl were in attendance at the opening event. “When I think about the ’80s I

MUSEUM from page 16A think about the energy, the confusion, the passions and the fault lines,” said Fischl. “At that time, no one knew who was going to last, who was better, everything was just pushing everything else.” What a decadent decade it was! Madonna and the Ramones, David Bowie and the B-52s were rocking the Palladium and the Mudd Club; the Dow was rocketing and Wall Street was in the movie theaters; the Islanders built a dynasty and the Berlin Wall was torn down. The artists were on top of a media craze that foretold of the digital era and riding a flood of investment in the art market. Fischl compared it to catching a wave off Montauk: “That feeling of being swept up and carried by something so much bigger and more powerful than yourself, something you’d worked so hard to catch, and now you’ve caught it and you’re in it.” The show also features a “hall of fame” of music and sports memorabilia, including Michael Jackson’s glove, Prince’s fashion, Madonna’s jewelry, and autographed items from the Islanders, Mets and the 1980 Olympic hockey team.

Love Bugs Tiffany & Co. is ready for spring with the launch of its new collection this spring, Return to Tiffany Love Bugs. The new collection reinvents the iconic Return to Tiffany by deconstructing its forms and design elements and recombining them into something completely new. Inspired by an urban garden, the key elements of the collection—the silver, the engraving, the simple shapes—have been taken apart and put back together again into whimsical butterflies, blossoms, birds and bugs. The designs have been elevated through the addition of gold, colored stones like amethyst, blue topaz and citrine. The collection includes silhouettes like stickpins, brooches, pendants and rings that bring a fine jewelry sensibility. —Jennifer Fauci

THE KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT
The Crucible Of Cookware BY JENNIFER FAUCI
jFauci@antonmediagroup.com
T
he French know food. They also know how to make premium crockery. Since 1925, Le Creuset, the manufacturer best known for its colorfully-enameled cast-iron cookware, has inspired people everywhere to enjoy time in the kitchen and around the table. “Beloved by home cooks and master chefs alike, the Le Creuset name reflects three essential truths, or Les Trois Vérités, which celebrate the company’s proud heritage as the first in colorful cookware, the finest in quality and design and the favorite for generations,” said Nate Collier, director of marketing for Le Creuset. Le Creuset, which is French for the crucible, has earned a spot on the must-have list for many culinary enthusiasts and home cook, specifically for its Dutch oven, the holy grail of cast-iron cookware. “The most traditional use for a Dutch oven would be for stews and braises, the traditional beef bourguignon or coq au vin all the way green chile pork, but a Dutch oven is such a versatile tool,” said Collier, adding that it can also be used to deep fry chicken or bake professional quality bread. Voted as the #1 Dutch oven in the culinary world by America’s Test Kitchen, Le Creuset’s respect for the heritage of the brand means never making sacrifices to
the product. Varying in different sizes and price points, according to Collier, the company’s products have been made in the same foundry in northern France since its inception. “Our enameling process has been perfected over the 90 plus years, resulting in easy maintenance and, of course, our beautiful colors,” said Collier of Le Creuset’s stunning spring line, which features a color palette of cool hues like Sea Salt, Meringue and Fig. “Consumers want a brand and a product they can trust, and hopefully that is what we represent.” A lover of cooking and baking, my first foray with my Dutch oven came by way of chicken meatball soup on my gas stove. The smooth enamel helped to melt onions and cook carrots and celery beautifully as they slid around the stick-free bottom. The 4.5 quart pot made plenty of soup for six people and cleanup was a breeze. Now that spring promises fresh vegetables, I am excited to make vegetable soup, quiches and attempt a rosemary focaccia. Handwash Le Creuset cookware in hot, soapy water after it cools and dry it well. This is definitely a piece that will be in my kitchen cabinets for well over 30 years. Upgrade your kitchen with Le Creuset and see the new collection by visiting www. lecreuset.com.

Cupcake Decorating For The Season BY CHRISTINA CLAUS

E
ach season has its own signature baking décor: summer, beach; fall, pumpkins; winter, holidays and snowmen; and finally spring, flowers, eggs and newborn animals. With the thought of these little creatures in mind and Easter candies on store shelves, spring cupcakes can be decorated with pastel icings and adorned with candy wildlife. One base chocolate cupcake can be utilized to create a variety of different cupcake looks. The chocolate can act as dirt, as the baker carefully pipes on pastel green colored icing with a jagged icing tip to give the effect of grass. With
the grass created, a yellow chick Peeps or purple bunny Peeps can sit atop the grass. Jelly beans with a splatter of color can sit atop the grass to look like eggs. If you want to get a little extra fancy, pipe on some brown colored icing with a small circular tip to give the effect of a nest before dropping on the jelly beans. Bakers can even create a butterfly using candies to sit atop the little cakes. Use white chocolate-covered pretzels as the wings with four M&Ms as the body. With that same chocolate cupcake, one can top it off with some chocolate icing and crushed Oreos. Coat a strawberry in orange
TREE SERVICE FREE ESTIMATE
colored white chocolate with a drizzle on top to make it look like a carrot and place it in the center of the cupcake. The chocolate cupcake can also accent swirled pastel yellow icing with a candy bee placed gently on the side. Bunny cupcakes are a treat sure to wow a crowd and make them coo “aw.” On top of either a vanilla, chocolate or funfetti cupcake, pipe a mound of white frosting. Cut a marshmallow in half diagonally into two pieces and then dip the cut side of each piece into pink sugar to coat. Place these atop the frosting—sugar
side up—to resemble ears. Gently push a pink jelly bean into frosting in front of the ears to form the nose and use tweezers to ease in brown sprinkles for the eyes. Springtime means the blooming of flowers, so why not let a flower blossom on a cupcake? For a sunflower, decorators can pipe out petals along the edge of the cupcake with the small jagged tip tool and place mini chocolate chips in the center to act as seeds. There are many other potential flower options from roses to hydrangeas, with step-by-step videos showing bakers the perfect piping techniques.

WORD FIND
INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Birds and animals
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re really wanting some groundbreaking new study, product or method to come about to help you deal with a certain problem. And while you may find that, you’ll also find that the wisdom of elders or the common sense of everyday people will work just as well, if not better, to fix what ails you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It doesn’t matter how many people are theoretically in the game with you. What matters is who is actually on your side. The smallest community can be incredibly supportive. And there are times when a support system of one is all you really need. It’s a good week to remind yourself who your real people are. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some things are valuable because they’re ubiquitous. Other things are valuable because they’re rare. Most things are valuable because they just are. That last one is impossible to put a price tag on, as it’s not a social c ommodity to be traded. Rather, it’s a spiritual principle to keep front of mind this week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your presence at gatherings will be important, namely for the fun and connections you’ll make. Furthermore, your talent for taking ideas that people are only subconsciously aware of and making them consciously present (often with artistic or humorous effect) will be key in the elevation of the group. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The main message to take in is that you’re OK; you belong; and you’re absolutely where you should be. There’s no better fit. This is where you’ll do the most good in the world. So accept yourself and all that’s going on with compassion, curiosity and a faith in the unfolding of things. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You thought you were aware of what you were saying and why you’re saying it, but today brings a whole new level to the game. Your deeper needs will be revealed. It’s good news, since knowing about a need is the first step in getting it fulfilled. A gentle and supportive attitude toward yourself will allow for success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Make time for those who enrich you, lift your thinking, make you feel somehow more alive -- you know the type. You wish you’d met them earlier because of their positive influence on you. You’ll get around these people more often. Of course, you are such a person yourself, and you’ll shine in this way for others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Accept tasks, but don’t accept roles. People don’t know who you are and what you can do. Even those close to you will cast you in any old way to suit themselves. Create your own role. Do the job like no one else could. Bring everything you have to it. Let your spirit, personality and intention infuse all you touch. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The product born of group work can be much stronger from the collaboration, or it can be so diluted that it’s actually less potent than any individual contribution. The difference is in the leadership. Who has the vision? And how well is that vision executed? Step up. You’re seeing this in a way that could benefit all.

You’ll go into this new solar journey with a heightened sense, like life is theater; every interaction is memorable and intrinsically rewarding. Then you’ll get used to this reality, and it’s up to you to push things next-level by taking a risk and finally going in the direction you’ve been dreaming about. July brings an exciting trip. Different moneymaking strategies win in September. Your vitality improves with a shift of habit, though it takes about 60 days to start feeling like the new you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fear is the enemy that takes many forms. Even runof-the-mill boredom is a form of fear, as it’s indicative of not taking the risk needed to start the adventure. Fight fear with courage. Create courage with desire. Grow desire with a vision. The breakthrough starts with vividly seeing the possibilities with your mind’s eye. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You take the concerns of your loved ones as seriously as you take your own concerns, if not more so, even though in both cases it’s clear that the world won’t end if things don’t go the preferred way. Your diligence and love will be a bonding agent that keeps your group together and in high morale. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A lot of people will pay (in attention, money, love or other currency) for what they want to hear, whereas far fewer will pay for what they should hear. Don’t let this stop you from delivering what is needed instead of the shallower thing being asked for. Wise choices lead to healing.
