BINETTI FROM 18 plastic forms that you are supposed to fill with water. In our climate the sun does not shine hot enough in the spring to warm the water and release any heat at night. Bubble wrap is insulating, cheap and effective. If you have small tomato or cucumber seedlings you can make a greenhouse from a gallon size milk jug. Just cut out the bottom of the jug and leave off the cap when you cover the transplants so air can flow.

Put a teepee over your pots
If you want to jump the heat gun and fill your patio pots with geraniums, petunias, begonias and other summer flowers, create a simple insurance policy by using three sticks tied at the top to form a tee pee over your newly planted treasures. You can even use supple branches from
spring pruning shrubs to make this pyramid form. Then it will be easy to wrap the tee pee with bubble wrap, or drape a sheet over the supports if a storm is predicted. This will also offer protection from sudden hail storms. It will be easy to remove the supports once the plants are hardened off. Plant tough plants that love our cool nights. You can add lettuce, peas, kale, cabbage and most herbs (except basil) to the vegetable garden now and don’t worry about protecting these cool season crops at all. To fill your flower pots without worry pick cold-tolerant alyssum,
lobelia, euphorbia, dianthus, nemesia, dragon wing begonias and wax begonias. Some of the new petunias and mini petunias are also very adaptable to cold night weather. • • • For book requests or answers to gardening questions, write to her at: P.O. Box 872, Enumclaw, 98022.

Come for the Cause, Stay for the Food, Fun and Freebies! Join QFC at Komen Puget Sound Race for the Cure®
T
here are personal reasons why each of us Race for the Cure®. At QFC, we know that so many of our 5,000 employees and thousands more of our customers have been touched by breast cancer in some way. So lace up your pink shoelaces and join QFC for a fun-filled event on Sunday, June 1, 2014 at Seattle Center packed with walking, giveaways and live entertainment, oh my! This year’s event marks the 21st anniversary of the Puget Sound Komen Race for the Cure®and QFC’s eighth year as local presenting sponsor. We’ve also proudly claimed the title for largest corporate team sponsor for four years running. The more the merrier, we say! Join our QFC corporate team or create your own at komenpugetsound. org. This great event brings together thousands of
runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors, friends and families to spend a fun-filled morning of sharing, caring and community. 75% of the funds raised from this event stay right here in Puget Sound to support breast health education, breast cancer screening and treatment and other direct help. Don’t forget to stop by our booth and QFC’s friendly employees will be handing out thousands of free product samples as we groove to terrific live music from local bands and cheer on the runners and walkers of the race. Survivors are invited to join QFC at the Survivor Tent where we’ll be toasting your bravery with sparkling apple cider, chocolatedipped strawberries and other decedent goodies. Another way you can support the Puget Sound chapter of Susan G. Komen is to drop your change
in the coin boxes located at the checkstands of any of our QFC stores from now until May 31st. We also have donation scan cards in $1, $5, and $10 amounts available at checkout – just hand the card to the cashier and he or she will add that amount to your order. Last year, your generous donations raised more than $15,000! That change really does add up! We are grateful for the generosity and compassion of our customers and amazing team of employees. Whether you are racing at Seattle Center, sleeping in for a cure, or dropping change in our coin boxes, you are making strides towards a world without breast cancer! Paid Adver tisement
