In the north as the month of January closes house plants start to grow again after the turn of the year – at least those that were resting during the fall and early winter. With these, feeding is important, particularly if they have been in the same pots several years. However, there are a number of soluble plant foods which will do a good job. Mix 1/2 tablespoon into a gallon of water and feed it to the plants once every few weeks. Then watch the plants grow!

Dahlia tubers should be looked over in midwinter to check the spread of any existing rot. Cut back broken or rotting tubers to solid flesh, and then dust the cut ends with sulphur. If the tubers appear to be shrinking it may be caused by too high a temperature or by too little covering. The tubers go back into storage until time to force them for cuttings in March or until planting time in May.

Summer bedding plant cuttings can be taken now from the stock plants that are carried over in the greenhouse or frame. Start in early, particularly when the number of stock plants is limited and the number of plants required is large. You can take cuttings right up until April. Some of the plants you can handle in this way are: lantanas, heliotropes, verbenas, fuchsias, ageratums and coleus.

Root the cuttings in sand or vermiculite in a house that has a 60-degree night temperature. If the house is cooler, start the cuttings in a warmer bench as mentioned above. Bottom heat almost always helps.

Carnation cuttings taken last month should be ready for potting up now. A good soil mixture is 2 parts soil from the soil-compost pile, 1 part sand and 1 part rotted manure. Put the rooted cuttings into 2 1/2-inch pots leaving as much of the cuttings above the soil as possible. Water thoroughly at the time of potting. Then place them in a cool house and shade from bright sunshine with newspapers for a few days.

What should you look for when you look at Hawaii travel packages? Well you look for the best deal for one – what offers you the most for the price. And if you’re bound and determined to see a specific island, you’ll want to make sure your Hawaii travel package will include time on that island.

If you haven’t visited Hawaii before, you should stick to just one island because that is the best way to experience what Hawaii has to offer. There’s not a great deal between them, but if you island hop you might miss out a lot. Those who travel between islands know the state well, and know the best times to be on each island.

Each of the Hawaiian islands has its own character, and if you don’t then it’s not easy to select one for your vacation. Here are a few details about the more popular of the islands, and hopefully this will enable you to choose the one that seems best for you so that you can choose one of the available Hawaii travel packages to suit your personal preferences.

The most popular is the Big Island of Hawaii offering you some great beaches and surfing, and also the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is where you will be awed by the power of Kilauea, the most active volcano in the entire world. You can take a hike through some fabulous rainforests or try some deep sea fishing. The Kailua-Kona coast is famous for its fishing, but if you prefer something more active then enjoy scuba diving in the clear blue waters surrounding the island.

Next is Maui, which is nicknamed the ‘Valley Isle’. Here you can look at the Haleakala Crater, which is quite fascinating and makes for some fabulous pictures. The Lao valley is full of wonderful trees, and is just a very beautiful place to experience.

A smaller island that has just recently become more of a tourist attraction is the ‘Pineapple Isle’, or Lanai. With two resorts to choose from you can be assured a visit to here won’t be as crowded as the other islands.

If swimming and diving appeals to you, then the ‘Friendly Isle’ is for you. Its real name is Molokai, and it is relatively underdeveloped compared to the other Hawaiian islands. You should put this on your list of Hawaiian travel packages if you want a quiet peaceful vacation with lots of water to play in.

Oahu, or ‘The Gathering Place’, has famous Waikiki Beach, big surf on the North Shore, the Polynesian Cultural Center, great shopping, night-life and dining. Oahu is home to many beaches for you to enjoy including Hanauma Bay, Kailua Beach, and Ala Moana Beach.

Finally, we come to the last island in this short tour of Hawaii. Last but by no means least, because it is Kauai, a magnificent display of natural beauty offering what Mark Twain called ‘The Grand Canyon of the Pacific’: Waimea Canyon. It also offers the Pacific Ocean fronted by the 1,000 foot cliffs of the Napali Coast, and some fabulous waterfalls. This is truly a feast of natural beauty, and you can sit and enjoy it on one of its many beaches that boasts the most wonderful climate in the world.
