Itolow I Ri•Igs , 11 Fallon County Timely -Tips By Sherry Vogel I went to the post office the other day to find a seed cata- log in my mailbox. It is a promising sign that spring is just around the corner. Al- though Montana is not the eas- iest place to grow flowers, with care, good maintenance, watering, staking and feeding you can have beautiful plant- ings in your yard. Here is a tip to help you se- lect spring plantings that are known to thrive in our area. Hollyhock and Black Eyed Susan - plant from seeds and bloom all summer; Daisy - plant from seeds or seedlings and bloom in the fall; Chrysanthemum - replant shoots and blooms late sum- mer; Lily of the Valley - plant in the fall or spring and blooms in early summer; Prairie Smoke - seedling - blooms July or August; Gar- den Phlox - seeds or seedlings. blooms all summer. Most of these plants do well in a well -drained loamy soil high in organic matter and ad- equately supplied with nitro- gen and phosphorus. Prepare soil by deep tilling to a depth of about 20 inches to encour- age normally shallow roots to grow deeper. If soil is poorly drained, incorporate some coarse sand into the area at planting. Most of these flow- ers do best in a nearly neutral soil, but Hollyhocks and Iris prefer a slightly alkaline soil. Gotta question? Q. Why are diesel prices less now than gasoline prices? A. Typically, gasoline prices are higher than diesel fuel prices during the summer when driving peaks, and con- versely diesel prices are gen- erally higher during the winter when driving declines and the prices of heating oil (a fuel similar to diesel) increases, pulling up diesel prices. It's definitely a supply and de- mand equation. This season heating oil demand has dropped due to warmer winter temperatures. Drivers are driv- ing more this winter due to lower gas prices and good winter driving conditions. In the United States, demand for diesel fuel tends to be more responsive than demand for gasoline due to economic con- ditions. Locally, a new refin- ery in Dickinson, ND, which produces only diesel fuel, has increased our local supply.
