Stocks: An economy at a 'crossroads'
Stocks started September with a bang as investors cheered a rare dose of good economic news but investors may need to buckle in for the coming week: It's a holiday-shortened week with little on the docket to set the tone.

Timely Tip for Gardeners
From Calloway’s Nursery
This is the year to grow your own fruits and vegetables! Our most popular clinic in 2009 was our “Spring Vegetables and Herbs” clinic and we will be hosting two clinics on that topic in March.
Many positive things come from growing a garden. Working in a garden can help to relieve stress and increase your overall activity level. Sunlight can improve sleep, deter depression and promote a stronger immune system. Growing your own garden allows you to control what fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides are used during the raising of your crops. But, most importantly, vegetables and fruits grown in a home garden tend to be more flavorful and nutritious!
When selecting a site for your gardens keep these requirements in mind. All vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Eight to 10 hours each day is ideal. The soil should be fertile and easy to work. Improve the texture by adding organic compost material. Container gardening is perfect if you have space or soil limitations. Gardens will need at least one inch of water per week including rainfall.
For more information about home gardening, please join us on the following dates. Click here http://mytexasgarden.com/index.php/free-clinics/ for a complete list of our FREE in-store clinics. Clinics are held in every store.
