eadhead Delphiniums and Lupins once they finish flowering to promote a further flush later.

Cut back hardy geraniums, heucheras and oriental poppies hard back. This will give some fresh foliage and maybe more flowers.

Put houseplants out in the garden for their ‘summer holiday’. Remember to take them back in during September before any frosts.

Once there has been a dry spell, give a coat of colour/preservative to fences, sheds and decking.

Rhododendrons, lilacs and hydrangeas can be dead headed but be careful not to cut too far back, merely taking just the blooms.

Hoe off any annual weeds but perennial weeds should be dug out making sure you take out all the root.

Keep hostas and other tender plants safe from slugs and snails. You can get a slug killer that is not harmful to wildlife or you can use beer traps, crushed egg shells or used coffee grounds.

Keep hanging baskets, containers and any newly planted shrubs or perennials well watered.

Take time out not only to walk round the garden hopefully every day to keep an eye on everything but most importantly sit and enjoy!

Lawns Mow the lawn more often now, usually at least once a week and reduce the cutting height if the weather is not too hot.

If you have any movable features on the

PAGE 14 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers lawn, such as tables, chairs, children’s toys or animals like rabbits in runs, make sure they are moved on a regular basis so the grass underneath can green up again.

If you have not already weeded and fed the lawn it is still not too late to apply a combined weed and feed.

A new lawn should be watered in dry spells to stop the turf from shrinking and failing to knit together and also water seed sown lawns to encourage growth.

If you have a lot of grass clippings put them on the compost heap in stages so that the compost does not go slimy.

Fruit and Vegetables Place straw or black polythene under strawberries to protect from rain splashes and slugs.

Place netting supported by raised canes to protect fruit from birds if you don’t yet have a fruit cage.

After the June drop of apple trees, if the apples still look too crowded thin them out to give better sized fruits that will ripen all the way round.

Keep picking rhubarb so that it does not have a chance to go to seed.

Train in the new canes of raspberries and blackberries by tying them in to say the left whilst the older canes are pulled to the right.

Early potatoes should be ready to dig now and maincrop ones will need earthing up.

Sow more lettuce, radish and beetroot in succession through the month.

Train tomato plants as they grow and pinch out the side shoots from cordon grown ones.

Run string attached at each end to posts to support broad beans as they grow and pinch out the growing tips to discourage black fly.

Keep all vegetable growing areas free from weeds.

T���K L CAL ��Y L CAL We’re really lucky... our local area is full of wonderful small businesses

There are heaps of reasons to buy from local companies Here are 5 big reasons for using your local businesses: 1. They know their customers Local businesses understand people in the area. They’re quick to react to what their customers want and are able to meet the changing needs of the local population. This means they can offer you relevant and interesting products and services rather than the larger, more commercial companies that generally provide the same things no matter where you live.

2. They create jobs Shops in our towns create jobs within the local community. By purchasing from these smaller businesses, you’re helping to grow employment opportunities which in turn, makes the area a better place to live and work.

3. The experience There’s nothing quite like the personal touch that comes with the customer service in a local shop. They get to know you and can offer products and services that best meet your needs. Plus, they have an authenticity that the bigger brands can’t usually match. What’s not to like?!

4. They’re better for the environment Local businesses often source their products locally, which helps to reduce their carbon footprint.

5. Great deals - you’ll be surprised!

Don’t assume that chain stores have the best deals - local businesses can have competitive pricing that you might not expect. Before you hit Google, take the time to have a look around your area and see what’s on offer.

Which local businesses do you love?

There are two fine examples of established local companies on the next pages...

THE POWER OF WORDS REALLY CAN RESOLVE AWKWARD SITUATIONS!

S

ometimes, even the most difficult situations can be resolved with just a few cleverly chosen and well expressed words. Here are a few wonderful examples...

I recently picked up a hitch-hiker. He seemed like a nice enough bloke but once he was in the car I realised he had terrible body odour and immediately regretted giving him a lift. After a couple of miles he said he was grateful for the lift but asked me if I wasn’t afraid that he might be a serial killer?

I told him that the odds of two serial killers being in the same car at the same time was extremely unlikely.

Fortunately he jumped out the next time I had to stop!

An elderly man in Queensland had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees. The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn’t been there for a while. He grabbed a 10 litre bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing. As

he came closer he saw it was four young women skinny-dipping in his dam. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him, ‘We know why you’re here and we’re not coming out until you leave.’ The old man frowned and said,’ Maam, I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or try to make you get out of the dam naked.’ Holding the bucket up he said, ‘I’m only here to feed the crocodiles.’ Moral: Old men may walk slowly, but they can still think fast.

A smarty-pants London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Glasgow cop. He thinks that he’s smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from London and is certain that he has a better education then any Jock cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Glasgow cop’s expense!! Glasgow cop says, “ Licence and registration, please.”

London Lawyer says, “What for?”

Glasgow cop says, “Ye didnae come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

London Lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”Glasgow cop says, “Ye still didnae come to a complete stop. Licence and registration, please.”London Lawyer says, “What’s the difference?” Glasgow cop says, “The difference is, ye haff tae

PAGE 22 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers

See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers

come to a complete stop, that’s the law, Licence and registration, please!”

London Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my licence and registration and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.” Glasgow cop says, “Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir.”

The London Lawyer exits his vehicle.

The Glasgow cop takes out his baton and starts beating the living daylights out of the lawyer and then says, “Dae ye want me to stop, or just slow doon?”

One evening, after the honeymoon, Tom was working on his motorcycle in the garage. His new wife was standing there by the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally said, “Honey, I’ve just been thinking, now that

we are married, maybe it’s time you quit spending so much of your time out here in your garage. You probably should also consider selling your Harley and all your welding equipment along with your gun collection, your fishing gear, the boat and all those stupid model airplanes, plus dump that vintage hot rod sports car and your home brewing equipment.” Tom got a horrified look on his face. She said, “Darling, what’s wrong?”He replied, “There for a minute, you were starting to sound like my ex-wife!” “Ex-wife!?” she screamed, “YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!” Tom replied, “I wasn’t.”

The right words really can be so important!

FIVE REASONS WHY PRINTED ADS ARE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS Print advertising is powerful. Yes, the internet is a marvellous tool, however, it isn’t the only tool. Digital media without doubt has its advantages, but print still has the upper hand in some ways and should be incorporated into your marketing strategy. Read on to learn 5 advantages of using printed ads.

Benefits of Printed Ads 1. It’s real!

There’s a lot to be said for a tangible, in-your-hand ad. It’s easier and more convenient to retain and refer to a compact, A5 booklet than it is to scroll through your mobile to find the same ad that you saw a few days ago. Plus, many people hold onto magazines and brochures for years, meaning that even just a one-time printed ad could be incredibly cost-effective for your business.

2. You can reach your target customers Think about it - how many digital ads do you see every day? We’re bombarded!

The beauty of print is that it’s much less invasive and you’re able to target a very specific audience and deliver the ad right into their hands (literally!).

Beyond this, you also have the option to tailor your campaign to fit your budget (how much page space you need), and rather than relying on an algorithm to decide where your ad should sit, you get to speak with a real person when buying your ad space.

3. Print ad readers have longer attention spans and more intent Mobile devices can shrink peoples’ attention spans and we almost become immune to the selling efforts we’re exposed to on a daily basis. People who look at more traditional formats (magazines, newspapers, other publications) often spend more time looking and could be more likely to focus and really take note of the ad.

When we’re online, we might have 7 different tabs open and probably have messages and emails pinging through.

Referring directly to a printed ad minimises the chance of the consumer becoming distracted.

4. Authenticity Pretty much anybody can make a digital ad. Print, however, requires a marketing budget and feels somewhat more official and trustworthy. This is especially true when it’s targeted at

local level. Quality print publications, such as the Local Answer, can easily leverage your credibility and generate you more leads and sales.

5. Stand out!

In a time where everyone is going digital, going ‘old school’ with a printed ad could give you the edge that you’re looking for. It’s a medium that some businesses forget, so make sure you play the trump card and have this aspect of marketing covered!

Conclusion So, as you can see, local print advertising is extremely effective and should be added to your marketing mix.

Combining these benefits with a solid digital strategy can produce substantial results.

Healthy Eating

SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN (OR QUORN FILLET) WRAPS

O

n days where you don’t feel like cooking or just fancy something easy and healthy, try these spicy wraps.

You need to make the marinade 2 hours ahead or you can even make it the night before and leave it in the fridge until you’re ready to make the recipe. When you’re ready to make it, the recipe only takes around 20 minutes.

Chicken is low fat and a good source of protein, if you’re vegetarian, quorn is also good for protein, low fat and a source of fibre.

The spices used in the recipe can be found in your local Indian grocery store: fenugreek, cumin and fennel are all good for your digestive system.

RECIPE 2 tsp fenugreek seeds, 2 tsp fennel seeds, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 2 garlic cloves finely chopped, 1 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika, grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, tsp salt, 2 tablespoon greek style natural yogurt (optional), 4 skinless boneless chicken

fillets (about 6oz each) or 6 quorn fillets, 2 tablespoons olive oil, black pepper Heat a frying pan over low heat until hot.

Add the fenugreek, fennel and cumin seeds and toast for 2-3 minutes (don’t burn) until they give off an aroma. Cool then crush in a pestle and mortar or grind in a coffee grinder.

Tip into a bowl and add garlic, cayenne/ paprika, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, teaspoon of salt and yogurt if using.

Slash the chicken or quorn all over using a sharp knife and put into a dish. Rub this marinade all over, cover and leave in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

When ready to eat, heat the grill and put foil on baking tray. Drizzle the marinated chicken or quorn with olive oil. Grill till cooked (20 minutes for chicken, less for quorn), turning halfway through.

When cool, tear into shreds and serve in wraps drizzled with yogurt (or tahini sauce if using quorn and vegetarian), with slices of tomato and lettuce.

Football - The ‘Boro

GOOD RECRUITMENT WILL BE THE VITAL FACTOR

W

hile it’s always tempting to listen to and believe the latest hot news regarding imminent signings, we ‘Boro fans have suffered enough disappointments over the years to take everything with a pinch of salt until the time we actually see a player take the field in a ‘Boro shirt.

I well remember the excitement that accompanied the news in 2013 that Argentinian star Diego Forlan was on a plane to Heathrow and had agreed terms to join ‘Boro. He was, of course, hijacked at the airport by Alex Ferguson so joined Manchester United instead.

We also understood - in 2008 - that Rob Lee was on his way north from Kings Cross to sign for ‘Boro, but he eventually stayed on the train and was signed instead by Kevin Keegan at Newcastle. Keegan always reckoned he’d fooled Lee into thinking that Newcastle was closer to London than Middlesbrough but Lee refutes the slur, claiming it was because Newcastle airport would get him back to the East End a lot quicker!

But now the latest in this long line of duff information was the fairly convincing news recently that Luton’s out of contract striker

James Collins was about to sign an early contract to get our recruitment drive off to a healthy start. Sadly - and inevitably - that conviction lasted for about 24 hours before the news filtered through that he was heading for Cardiff instead.

The biggest difficulty at the moment is that because of the fairly universal financial difficulties facing clubs, the better players are holding on for the best offers available and since lucrative deals are few and far between - and certainly not available at Middlesbrough at the moment - it’s going to be even more difficult to attract early signings of any significance. So despite Neil Warnock’s pre-holiday assertion that he would be trying to get players in as quickly as possible, the truth is that players of the right quality are not going to be making any quick decisions.

Perhaps the main current issue, however, is the forthcoming Euro Championships when most of the big clubs will be waiting and watching with interest in case a few gems are suddenly uncovered during the tournament. If so it will then lead to some big transfers and the subsequent player merry-go-round that usually results.

Sadly, if ‘Boro are to benefit from that

to a couple of tension filled derby days next season. Good luck to them anyway because - as I mentioned to my mates – it would be an easy six points for us ‘Boro!

So, with an action packed summer to look forward to we should be easily able to forget the disappointing end to the season where ‘Boro sadly lost momentum and ended up in a safe mid table spot. After last season, though, that was something of a relief. That it has been a huge improvement under Warnock is undeniable and can only give us hope that he can maintain that improvement for next season and give us a challenging one to look forward to. But it all depends on the recruitment and I’m afraid recent history does not foster a great deal of encouragement in that department. We can only hope!

Enjoy the Euros and come on England! It has to be the best squad we’ve been able to put out for quite some time so it should hopefully be something we can all enjoy.

Have a great summer.

Sudoku

kind of scenario, current finances demand that anyone moving down a rung would certainly need to be on a loan basis. But since it has already been well documented that neither players nor agents have become savvy enough to realise that they are now operating in a totally different environment and will need to reduce their usually ridiculous demands by a considerable degree a lot is going to have to change.

Looking at the bigger picture, there will be increased excitement for the new season when hopefully we will all be able to return to the Riverside and match day normality.

We may also be able to look forward to derby games again, with - at the time of writing - Sunderland’s possible return to the Championship depending on the games with Lincoln and hopefully against the winners of the Blackpool - Oxford tie.

A number of my Durham based friends are season ticket holders, so despite the rivalry between North East clubs I, for one, hope they make it at last and we can look forward
