Garden Tip: Now is the time to prune back your rose bushes if you have not already done so. Rake all of your straw or any mulch you may have around the rose bushes, then add some manure over the area for a beautiful bush and rose buds.

• On April 16-17, the North End Council Flower Show will be part of Gardendale’s Magnolia Festival. If you have never visited the show before, you will be surprised. There will be a junior display, many artistic designs, table settings and much more. The theme will be “New York, New York.” If you need flower pots, plants or magazines, this will be the place to purchase them at a discount. The North End Council is a non-profit club. Admission is free. See you there.

• Please continue to pray for our country and the American troops that are in harm’s way.
