FARMERS’ MARKETS Carmel – The growers- and producers-only market offers a bountiful place to buy your fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs, plants and prepared foods. Only edible products, with the exception of annuals and perennials, may be sold at the market. No craft items are sold. There are also plenty of prepared foods such as jams, salsas, breakfast sandwiches, Belgian waffles, Danish pastries, cheeses and honey. The 2014 market runs 8 to 11:30 a.m. every Saturday from May 3 through Sept. 27 on Carmel’s Center Green, adjacent to the Palladium.

Fishers – 8 a.m. to noon May 3 to Sept. 27 – On the grounds of the Town’s Nickel Plate District in front of the amphitheater, the market is a community-focused initiative by the Fishers Chamber of Commerce. Launched in 2003 with 15 vendors, this rain-or-shine market has grown to showcase more than 38 high-quality vendors offering fresh produce, live goods, bakery items, honey, specialty food items, meat, coffee and hot-food selections. Juried to the strictest standards, the market is visited by as many as 2,500 residents and visitors each Saturday morning and showcases some of the best market vendors in Indiana.

Westfield – In the absence of the 2013 Westfield Farmers Market, Ameriana Bank hosted the inaugural 2013 Marketplace at Westfield.

The marketplace will return in 2014 to the bank’s parking lot at 3333 E. Ind. 32 at Carey Road. The market runs 5 to 8 p.m. Fridays from June 6 through the summer. The market is held after the bank closes so it does not impact any customers.

Noblesville – The weekly farmers’ market in the Riverview Hospital overflow parking lot is open rain or shine from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Saturday from May 17 to Oct. 11. Vendors sell a wide array of locally grown produce, bedding plants, fresh-cut flowers, locally produced honey, handmade soaps and freshbaked goods.

Thursday market – Noblesville Main Street will continue and expand its market programming to include the second “Thursday Market” downtown. This European-style market will offer locally grown seasonal produce, ultra-fresh meals, small-batch artisan foods, handcrafted products, art and live music from 5 to 8 p.m. every Thursday from June 5 to Sept. 18 in the urban park just east of the Noblesville Main Street office at 839 Conner St. Zionsville – Fresh produce, plants and flowers, baked goods and locally prepared food items are available from 8 to 11 a.m. every Saturday morning from May 17 through Sept. 28 at Town Parking Lot at Hawthorne and Main streets.

3 ways to stick to your spring workouts Become your own drill sergeant – Use tough love on yourself and accountability so there is no more oversleeping or skipping workouts for happy hour. Make a plan to get into shape and stick with it. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Instead of focusing on the scale, focus on getting healthy and fit, and the weight loss will happen. Let weight loss be a by-product and incredible shape be your goal.

Keep it simple – Instead of purchasing a fancy exercise gizmo or joining an expensive health club, use what’s available. The oldest and most effective workout program in the world is the military boot camp style. You can make it as easy or hard as you want.

Start out with basic calisthenics like pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, dips, lunges and squats. For an example, visit www.gutcheckfitness.com.

Change up your cardio – Weightlifting and calisthenics help build muscle while cardio helps get rid of the unwanted fat. Unfortunately, most people are doing the same old run or ride day after day and see the same old results. Instead, change it up and shock your body by adding hill or stair repeats and speed work.

Gardening success starts with seeds Plant sale Commentary by Noah Herron

when a packet says 1,000 seeds. The longer you hold onto seeds the lesser the germination.

Every year you should test your seeds. Place 10 seeds into a moist paper towel and if more than six germinate you should still use them. If not then think about getting fresh seed. As long as your vegetable varieties are heirlooms, you can keep the seeds from this year’s harvest for the next growing season.

There are many decisions when it comes to selecting the appropriate seeds for your garden.

Beside the vast amount of varieties available, there are many decisions that include days to maturity, family preferences, seed quantity and choosing heirloom or hybrid varieties. It can get confusing to some gardeners, so I have created a guide to choosing seeds that meet your family’s needs.

Heirloom or hybrid

Days to maturity

On the backs of packets, you will see days to maturity. Planning for when crops are ready to harvest is important in making sure your family has fresh vegetables all summer long. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, for example, may say “80 days to harvest.” This is the time from when a transplant goes into the ground. This does not include the time to germinate and get a good size transplant, which can take an additional six to eight weeks. Other vegetables including beans, peas and corn use a harvest time from the day the seed germinates.

of colors including carrots, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes. For adults, we like to have homegrown vegetables year round, so grow varieties that can be canned. Those include tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas and more. Above all, choose varieties that taste good.

Family preferences

Grow food your family will eat. It will take practice to find varieties that suit your family, but once you find them, they will become a staple in your garden. Kids tend to gravitate toward bright colors. Many vegetables come in a variety

Heirlooms are by far the most popular option when selecting vegetable seeds. These seeds have grown for years and are passed down for generations. Heirloom seeds are kept from each harvest and used the next season. When preserving seed for next season, choose vegetables that are large, healthy and tasty. Hybrids have a bad rap, but can provide many benefits that heirlooms can’t. Hybrids are naturally crossed (NON-GMO) to produce an offspring with desirable traits from both parents. Many hybrids have been around for years and produce some of the best-tasting vegetables available. Don’t be scared to try the occasional hybrid.

Seed quantity

Most seeds last for years. So don’t be scared

Home-grown skin remedies

By Jordan Dalton • editorial@youarecurrent.com

After months of cold, dry weather, spring is on the horizon and it’s a great time to replenish your skin.

In addition to helping your body, you can also help your community and environment by using local foods to ease redness, stop wrinkles and remove toxins for a healthier appearance this season.

“A diet that is more from the ground than the store is a key step. More natural foods will be higher in antioxidants, minerals, etc.,” said Dr. Brad Ralston, a Nobelsville resident who is a chiropractic neurologist and also the executive director of the Brain Balance Center of Indianapolis.

According to Ralston, products available at local farmers markets that promote skin health are blueberries, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, kale, tomatoes, nuts and olive oils, to name a few.

Additional skin care tips include:

Look for antioxidant-rich foods

Foods high in antioxidant content, especially in vitamins A and C, are great for firmness and can reduce sunburn, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Antioxidants are key to the production of collagen and help with tissue growth, helping the skin to repair itself. Bulk up on blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bell peppers, and plums. “Grapefruit is also a great source of vita-

min C and can help brighten and even out skin tone,” said local esthetician Yolanda Hall of NJS Studio in Zionsville.

Try foods high in fiber

Fiber is great for easing inflammatory skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It helps rid the body of toxins, which are most noticeable in the skin. To ease redness and discoloration, eat fruits with skin (like apples and pears), berries, and beans. Fava beans are especially common in Indiana.

Omega-3 fatty acids keep skin young

Foods with omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in fish oil, aid in the transference of waste and water in the body – a process crucial to keeping your skin healthful. Fatty acids keep cell membranes full and functioning, so that no toxins get in and no nutrients get out. Like fiber, they can curb skin inflammation, but they also keep skin firm and glowing. “Salmon has omega 3 and it can help reduce inflammation throughout the body and also skin,” Hall said. Soy and walnuts are also great providers of omega-3 and is both native to Indiana.

As for foods to avoid, “Artificial sweeteners like aspartame are really bad for skin, especially acne, rosacea and eczema,” Ralston said. “Also, Indiana sweet corn from the farmers market is great for a barbecue but it’s not great for us. It’s tasty and I like it but it’s a grain, not a vegetable, so it’s pure carbs.”

Spice up your cooking Look to India when you want to learn how to use spices. (Submitted photo)

Create extraordinary new flavors with seasonings you already know (and a few you should get to know better) with Indian flavors.

Start with spices you know. These familiar, versatile spices know no boundaries. They season everything from Italian sausage to gingerbread, and are also integral to Indian cuisine. Spices: black peppercorns, allspice, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmeg and whole cloves.

Add these versatile spices. These tasty, easy-to-use spices lie at the heart of Indian cooking. Alone or in combination, they taste good with almost any main ingredient. Try them with confidence and you can’t go wrong. Spices: cumin seeds (nutty flavor), coriander seeds (sweet, lemony), yellow or brown mustard seeds (warm,

pungent), fennel seeds (sweet, minty, licoricey), ground tumeric (mildly bitter); whole dried chiles (fruity and spicy), dried ginger (lemony, peppery bite) and greet or white cardamom pods (camphor aroma; minty sweet).

Venture off the beaten path. Once you’re at ease with more accessible spices, try some of these unique spices. Their assertive flavors don’t go well with quite as many foods and can easily overpower a dish so use them judiciously.

Spices: black cardamom pods (intensely smoky, peppery), nigella seeds (mildly bitter, dry, oniony), black cumin seeds (grassy, sweet), fenugreek leaves (grassy, peanutty) and fenugreek seeds (nutty, butterscotchy, bitter).

Throw open the doors and let the springtime in Commentary by Vicky Earley Without thinking, I ran out to my car recently to retrieve my briefcase in bare feet. That’s right … no shoes and no snow boots! Unfortunately, the wicked winter poked me with a reminder of its wrath when I stepped on a piece of salt left over from the last scourge. I remain undaunted … spring has arrived.

I am so ready to throw open the doors to let fresh air pour in. The thought of another night huddled in front of the fireplace for warmth is just a bleak faded memory. Since there isn’t a soul not eager to escort winter doldrums out the back door, here are a few decorating ways to expedite the process.

The first one is easy … get rid of any and all faux greenery. My favorite replacement for the dust-collecting fakes is a large, potted palm.

Albeit, my record for keeping them well watered and alive is not my strong point; they just add life and renewal to a room.

If your furnishings are oriented off a fireplace, change your room layout to focus on a large window. While the glow of the fireplace was wonderful when the snow was falling, there is nothing as rejuvenating as watching the world come back to life.

Even if your decorating pallet is brimming with warm tones, bring in white to the mix. It will lighten the space and give it that airy feel we all

long for.

You know the decorating project that is the source of your procrastination? You know the one that bogs you down every time you see it?

Well, DO IT! Get it off your plate. I promise the effort is far less than you think. And the reward is far greater than you can imagine.

Set a rarely used table as if you expect extraordinarily special guests. Layer the dishes.

Dust the crystal and bring it out. Buy a few new dishes that don’t match your usual ones and add them to the mix. Just glancing at this beautiful table set every time you pass the room will spark a smile.

Call the window washer and get him on the calendar! Sparkling windows do so much for the life of a room.

Lighten up your bedding. Consider making your bed with a lightweight coverlet and simply fold the heavy duvet at the end of your bed. Your bedroom will breathe easier as the temperatures warm.

If your kitchen is getting a bit tired, consider investing in a modern faucet. Even if you are not in a position to renovate an entire kitchen, just a new fixture can add vitality.

How to grow greener grass Want to keep your lawn healthier, greener and thicker with a lot less effort? Here are a few tips and mistakes homeowners make: Water deeply, but not often – Water for 30 minutes then plunge a spade into the soil and pry out a wedge to see how far the water has penetrated. Four to 6 inches deep is ideal. Not deep enough? Water longer.

Once you know how long to water, use a water timer and you’ll know what to set it for every time.

Attack broadleaf weeds in mild weather – You need to kill weeds when they’re growing. When the weather is too cool, the weed isn’t growing and if it’s too hot the herbicide will stress the grass. Apply herbicides when rain isn’t forecast; a soaking will just rinse off the herbicide before it can do any good.

Kill crabgrass before it spreads – Once crabgrass sprouts, it’s too late. Here’s the key: apply preventer between the second

and the third mowing. Because crabgrass starts sprouting a few weeks after the grass greens up, that’s generally just the right time.

Don’t cut the grass too short – Every grass type has an optimal cutting height, and you’re better off on the high side of that height. The grass blade is the food factory of the plant. Short blades just can’t generate as much food as long blades, which also shade and cool the soil. That means weed seeds are less likely to sprout, and you won’t have to water as often because water won’t evaporate as fast.

Test the soil pH level – Grass grows best when it’s growing in the “pH happy zone” – between 6 and 7.2. If it’s too high, you’ll treat the lawn with iron sulfate or sulphur; too low and you’ll use pelletized limestone. Applying the treatment is as easy as walking around the yard with a spreader.

Rejuvenate your wastewater system Commentary by Brad Helvey

Not much thought is ever given to dirty water once it goes down the drain. Most people I talk to like to use the phrase, “Out of sight, out of mind.”

The water that leaves your home or business usually travels to a septic system or a sewer utility of some sort. That water carries with it types of waste that can build up over time and start to cause problems. Your drain pipes and septic system are not unlike your body. It needs to be rejuvenated from time to time.

If your septic system becomes overtaxed by waste buildup, it can become a toxic environment for the proper organisms to flourish, and will cease to properly break down and dispose of your wastewater. When your septic field clogs because of this biological failure, it’s called “biomat” buildup.

There are a number of ways to prevent the failure of your septic system, and even rejuvenate one that has reached biological failure.

Consider starting each spring with a routine service of your septic system. Your local health

department maintains a list of qualified service providers. Also, a number of companies produce supplemental liquids or tablets, along with septic rejuvenation technology that will help kick-start the overall health of your septic system.

If you have a small lift station outside your home or business, these too can become fouled by waste buildup. These pumps can cease to function properly for a variety of reasons. Consider a routine inspection and cleaning by a qualified service provider. A good inspection should include the major components of the lift station including the pump, piping, and controls. It should also include a wash-down and clean-out, if needed. The service provider should include a written report detailing the inspection and recommendations to restore it to proper function.

Help create a healthy home today. Choose to rejuvenate your wastewater system right away.

A classic wedding never goes out of style, but the modern touches that can really make your event stand out this wedding season.

Gloria Boyden, owner of Events

by Design, has run her Carmel-based business for more than 25 years and knows a thing or two about wedding trends. With the average Indiana bride spending $24,000 on her wedding, Boyden offers five tips on where to spend your money to stay on trend this season.

1. Outdoor ceremonies: “I do see a lot more people wanting outdoor ceremonies,” said Boyden. Barns seem to be particularly hot venue this season she said.

2. Strong color: The hot colors this season are fuchsia, navy, gold and cream.

3. Small weddings: “People are toning down the overall numbers of their weddings,” said Boyden. The average size wedding she is seeing is 100 to 125 guests.

4. Décor: Brides are spending a larger portion of their budget on décor then in years past. A hot trend this season is a cluster of vases and candles as opposed to one large centerpiece.

5. Letterpress invitations: These invitations are making a comeback, said Boyden. “People really like the letterpress because it’s different,” she said.

For more information, visit www. eventsbydesignindy.com or call 566-8233.

A hot trend in floral arraignments this season: a cluster of vases and candles.

The strong colors in this flower arrangement are on point with the bold fuchsia, the 2014 Pantone color of the year.

What to wear

While the miniskirt may be the ultimate transition piece, the tea-length is perfect for spring.

(Submitted photo)

Spring trends for 2014 Pretty pastels

The best thing about the pastel trend is you can pick your most-flattering color and wear it with whatever silhouette flatters (and excites) you.

•••

Boxy, cropped (non-moto) jackets

The boxy, cropped silhouette can come in a plethora of prints and textures to pair easily with a fit-and-flare or body-con dress, tailored trousers, office-ready skirts, and (of course) your go-to jeans.

•••

Contrast-collar button-downs

The crisp, menswear-inspired dress shirt enjoys a makeover with inventively cool, contrasting color and/ or textured collars and cuffs.

•••

•••

Cool bomber jackets

The sporty layering pieces get edgier for spring with adventurously colorful prints, luxe textures and fabrics, and sporty-cool detailing – like mesh weaving and perforations.

•••

Sweater dressing

Whether it’s boldly printed or inventively cut, the seasonal sweater is an easy-chic piece to pair with tailored pants, flirty skirts, and blousy shorts – or to just throw on over a light dress.

•••

The shift blouse

Wide-leg trousers

Almost like a dressy version of a T-shirt, the shift blouse is easy but so much more sophisticated. The near-elbow-length sleeve and boxy silhouette keep the look flattering and versatile.

•••

Tea-length skirts

Another strong spring layering piece: the long, streamlined coat, minus the collar or lapel. The piece works with dressy trousers or a pencil skirt for the office, or spring leather pants or a body-con dress for a date-night outfit idea.

Source: www.glamour.com/fashion

Easy to wear and ultra-chic, billowy wide-leg trousers made a huge showing on the spring runways. Just look for a pair that’s leaner on the flare and higherwaisted to elongate your frame.

••• The ladylike hemline can be just as modern as a mini; pair it with a cropped top to offset the length (and make you look taller).

Collarless coats
