By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool fall morning here in our little valley. I have got my coffee and I am sitting out on the front porch. The sun is shining and there is a little breeze blowing and now the leaves are really falling off the trees.

Perhaps it’s partly because my mother owns a huge antique desk from Milky Way Farm (the former estate of Franklin C. Mars, founder of Mars Candies), but I pay keen attention to the annual flurry of “filler” news items about Halloween candy. “Prices up or down? What’s hot and what’s not? Should I call my manual laborer cousin and rub this sweet gig in his face or not?” (Think of the perennial stories as being like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, except with cavities, tummy aches a...

They're back.....everywhere. One of this season's and our most important assets. Using leaves is working with nature to build healthy soil for your garden, flowers, shrubs and trees. One easy way is to mow and shred the leaves. A grass catcher on the mower makes this easy. Put the leaves directly on the soil in the garden and around plants. After a few inches, put the rest in the compost pile or bag them and use as mulch for spring garden. It enriches the soil with wonderful natural fertilizer....
