Thinning the garden leads to plump fruits

NOWBALLS OF bloom followed by miniature fruits tell of branches soon to be bowed by the weight of large and luscious peaches, apples, pears and plums. Large and luscious, that is, if you pluck some of these fruits off — now, before they get much bigger.

By removing some of the fruits, fruit thinning, as this operation is called, directs more of a tree’s attention to those fruits that remain. The goal of the tree, after all, is to put its energy into maturing as many seeds as possible, secured by ripening lots of fruit, even if they do end up small and not as tasty as they could be. What you and I want, though, are large and luscious fruits, the result of coaxing the tree to put more energy into fewer of them. For perfect ripening, for example, a single apple needs the resources of 20 to 40 healthy leaves, or a dozen in the case of more energy efficient dwarf trees.

Another reason you might see me out in the garden these days plucking some fruitlets from my fruit trees is to make them bear more consistently. My Macoun apple knows no moderation: it wants to ply me with fruits one year, then starve me the next,

Sports collectibles go fast at auction

V

INTAGE COLlectibles, especially those related to sports, sell quickly at auction, perhaps because not all are expensive. Sometimes they are not noticed by the dedicated sports collectors and sell at bargain prices.

This metal lunchbox was made in 1976. It is decorated with the helmets of the National Football Conference on one side, and American Conference helmets on the other side. Lunchbox collecting began in 1950, with the first example picturing the cowboy movie star Hopalong Cassidy. The metal boxes and matching thermos bottles remained popular until 1960, when soft plastic boxes were the style. (And it is a myth that metal boxes were replaced because students were hitting each other in the head and causing injuries.) This football collectible included a matching thermos and was an auction bargain at $35.

Start small for successful organizing Achieve a feeling of accomplishment while stuck at home

N

By Michele Lerner

Special to The Washington Post

ow that multiple weeks of stayat-home guidelines have been in place, many of us may feel consumed by a long list of chores.

People are taking care of their families, juggling complicated work and childcare schedules, and worrying about their finances. But if you’re restless and looking for ways to stay productive during the coronavirus pandemic, think about improvements that you may normally put off, such as organizing closets, pantries, mudrooms, drawers and toy boxes.

Julia Walter, managing director at Boffi Georgetown, a custom kitchen, bathroom and closet system company, shared tips via email for stepby-step ways to make organizing less overwhelming so you can see progress more quickly.

Comments have been lightly edited for space and clarity.

• Start small: I recently organized my spice drawer, something I rarely have time to do. I discarded spices that had expired and grouped each type of spice together, putting the ones I use often in the most accessible spots.

Consider organizing spices in alphabetical order, so they’re

easier to find.

• Open kitchen cabinets: Look inside each kitchen cabinet to see if there are better ways to organize certain items. Take out all the pots and pans and rearrange them so they are grouped by size, and keep the ones you use most often in the front. Start a donation pile for items you no longer use. They can be donated when it’s safe to drop off at a favorite charity.

• Take stock of cups and glassware: We all have our go-to coffee cups and glasses, so remove mugs and glassware that are rarely used and put them in the donation bin.

• Look inside kitchen drawers: Look at how your silverware is stored. There are many options for silverware trays that keep the knives, forks and spoons in their proper places. Free up space by moving random items that made their way into a drawer to a basket that can be stored elsewhere.

• Go vintage: Consider placing utensils near the stove in decorative countertop containers such as vintage vessels and vases. You can find these online, or at flea markets and antique stores when they reopen. Moving utensils to where they are handy will also declutter drawers.

• Peek inside your pantry: If you want to close the door after opening it, then it might be time to organize your pantry. Grouping like products together, such as all the canned soups in one spot,

is an effective way to get started. Wicker or metal baskets help keep the stray items in one place. For oversize items, look for an empty cabinet that you only need to access a few times a year.

Return of a backyard classic

BACKYARD CLASSIC that is never out of style, a glider swing is perfect for enjoying the warm weather with family and friends, rain or shine, day or night. Just like the one grandma had in her backyard, this do-it-yourself version is no exception. Complete with two bench seats, a wide shade canopy and a built-in table complete with cut-outs for drinks, the project seats four adults.

Built from standard fir, plywood and galvanized pipe, the swing is easy enough for beginners with just a few basic tools.

It calls for mostly straight cuts, and includes full-size patterns for the curves.

To build, simply trace the pieces onto wood (where necessary), cut everything out and assemble the frame and seat platform separately. Next, install the pipe that supports the seats and hang the seat platform. Finally, attach the canopy and table and apply finish of choice.

The completed glider measures about 8 feet long by 7 feet wide by 8 feet tall.

The Canopy Glider Swing plan, No. 818, is $9.95 and

includes detailed step-by-step directions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams, a complete shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project questions. Please include $4 for postage and handling on all orders and allow about two weeks for delivery.

Cardinals owner finds new base in Eva Longoria’s LA compound

By Neal J. Leitereg and Jack Flemming Tribune News Service

Actress Eva Longoria found a buyer for this Hollywood Hills compound in St. Louis Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt. The 2.75acre compound, once owned by Tom Cruise, has multiple structures including two studios, a villa and a four-bedroom guest house. Stone pathways and bridges lend a whimsical quality to the grounds, which feature a resort-style pool lined with boulders. (AARON HOFFMAN / TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE)

No flop for ‘Flip’ star Tarek El Moussa, star of HGTV’s “Flip or Flop,” and his girlfriend, Heather Rae Young of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset,” wrapped up an off-market sale in Costa Mesa, selling their modern farmhouse for $2.705 million.

“I realized the value of my home was the highest it had ever been and now would be a great opportunity to sell,” El Moussa said. “I also realized the prices would not stay this high, which prompted my decision to take advantage and sell high, sit on the sidelines for a year or two, and later buy low.”

It’s no surprise that the HGTV star made some changes during his stay, touching up the floor-toceiling fireplace in the living room and the massive marble

It may be some time before baseball returns to Los Angeles, but that’s not stopping St. Louis Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt from landing a new offseason dugout. The businessman was the buyer of Eva Longoria’s Hollywood Hills compound.

DeWitt paid $8.25 million for the place — which wasn’t even in the same ballpark as Longoria’s original $14 million asking price — and is just the latest in a string of high-profile names to own the French-influenced estate.

Before Longoria, box office star Tom Cruise owned the compound.

Spanning 2.75 acres, the property includes a three-bedroom villa, four-bedroom guesthouse, two studios and a stone cottage. Outside, a whimsical bridge tops a resort-style pool lined with boulders.

Hardwood floors sit under whitewashed beams in the living spaces, which include a formal dining room and kitchen with a farmhouse sink. French doors line the living room, opening to a flagstone terrace overlooking L.A. The master suite opens to a terrace of its own, one of many that fill out the back of the property. Meandering stone pathways navigate the landscaped grounds filled with patios and fountains.

DeWitt, 78, bought the Cardinals for $150 million in 1995 and has seen the team’s value soar in the decades since, with Forbes currently estimating the club’s worth at $2.2 billion. During his tenure, the team has won two World Series titles in 2006 and 2011.

Around the time of the sale, he quietly unloaded his place in Studio City in an off-market deal for $3.4 million.

Study: Gardening boosts your mental health

By Christopher Ingraham

Washington Post

In recent weeks, public health experts have warned that the coronavirus pandemic could have a devastating effect on mental health. In the United States, rates of anxiety and depression are rising.

A new study published in the journal Landscape and Urban Planning finds that there’s one surprisingly mood-boosting activity we can do even if we’re locked up alone at home: tending a small garden.

The study shows that gardening boosts people’s moods by as much as some common types of exercise, like cycling and walking. That boost is available whether it is

seascape paintings. Kinkade lived in California, studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and began selling his oil paintings in the 1980s. By the late 1980s, much of his work was mass produced, with Kinkade designing and painting works that were finished by assistants. He trademarked the term “Painter of Light” in 1996. His work was most popular from about 1995 to 2005 and many Kinkade stores were franchised. Since then interest has declined.

His paintings have been reproduced as prints and used on ceramics. Teleflora is a service used to order flowers online. This cup and saucer would have included a bouquet of flowers tucked into the cup. The dishes sell online for $10 and under.

done alone or with others, on a city balcony or in a suburban lawn, and it seems to be particularly strong for women and low-income people. And while all types of gardening were shown to be beneficial to mental health, people who grow their own food seem to take particular joy in tending to their plants.

For the study, 370 adults in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area were given a mobile app that recorded their activity during a random oneweek period in 2016 and 2017.

The app asked every study subject to log the intensity, on a scale of 1 to 7, of emotions experienced during activities in which they participated. newspaper. I’m running out of marketing ideas.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the early 1900s, salesmen traveled the country to sell their wares. Stove salesmen had miniature replicas of their products made with the same materials and details as their full-size counterparts. Today, those replicas remain collectible, especially working examples, which were more common before 1920. Sample stoves were made mostly from 1900 to the 1920s, when larger hardware stores began to appear in major markets. A small toy stove was a gift to the children when the family bought a stove. Most stove manufacturers were regional companies. Contact an auction house to sell your collection of toy stoves. Go to Kovels.com and look under “How to Buy and Sell” and “Auction Advice” for more information.

The participants tracked two positive emotions (happiness and meaningfulness) and four negative ones (pain, sadness, fatigue and stress).

About 30% of the participants said they gardened, spending an average of 1.5 hours a week at it. The researchers conducted a measure of net well-being by subtracting the average recorded intensity of negative emotion experienced during an activity from the average intensity of positive emotions.

Then they compared this net well-being measure across various activities.

Gardening was near the top of the activity list in terms of net well-being, statistically in-

distinguishable from walking, biking, or eating a meal at a restaurant. The only activity scoring significantly higher than gardening, in fact, was “other leisure” - a catchall category that could include anything from watching a movie to socializing with friends.

The study found that while all types of gardening are good for your mental health, people who grow their own vegetables seem to be especially pleased with their efforts relative to those who grow only flowers or decorative plants. A word of caution, however: vegetable gardeners also tended to rate all their activities as more enjoyable than others did,

“Many more people garden than we think, and it appears that it associates with higher levels of happiness similar to walking and biking,” said Princeton’s Anu Ramaswami, one of the authors, in a statement. “In the movement to make cities more livable, gardening might be a big part of improving quality-of-life.”

She added, “These findings suggest that, when choosing future well-being projects to fund, we should pay just as much attention to household gardening.”

ultra-spacious master suite (and huge walk-in closet) tucked away to the left of the floor plan.

Three additional bedrooms

reside to the right of the home, while an office next to the foyer could be used as a hobby room or study.
