t’s a New Year. It’s a new beginning. It’s an opportunity for us to begin writing the first pages of a brand-new, 365-page book. How will your 2016 story begin? New beginnings are full of hope. We get to be in control of what we write. We can choose to begin with a full smile – and a full pen – and create our own happiness. It’s my sincere hope your 2016 book is full of everything meaningful to you. This year also begins a new chapter for Aging Tree; another year we will have the privilege of helping people make decisions about senior care for their loved ones. Each year, we counsel thousands of individuals on this topic, and in almost all cases, it gets down to one thing: How will they pay for senior care and services? So, we thought it appropriate to begin 2016 with the first of three articles on the subject, beginning in this edition, and help answer questions and share tools to organize your planning. We are often asked, “Does Medicare pay for assisted living or home care?” The short answer is, “No.” Medicare covers acute or short-term care and services, but not long-term care. We will discuss different funding options in depth over the next three months. In addition, the New Year is bringing changes to our magazine, too. We’re collaborating with new partners and writers to inform you each month about various subjects. For example: • In his aptly named column, “Inside Advisor,” Scott Selis, Attorney at Law, will discuss legal matters with our readers; • Kim Denoff, Advance Orthopedics, will help us better understand how to navigate insurance matters as it relates to providers; • Cheree Albert is on board to help us make better choices regarding what we put in our bodies; and • Green thumb John will teach us how to care for our plants. Do you like to travel? Be sure to check out our monthly “Aging Tree Travel Adventures” write-ups, too. Through a new partnership with Roseborough Travel Agency, Aging Tree is proud to begin offering senior-friendly tours to some wonderful places throughout the year. Remember, “Life’s short, explore a little more!” Happy New Year, friends. Get out that pen and start writing your 2016 masterpiece. Now’s the perfect time for new beginnings. Make your days great…you’re in charge of them.

How to Pay For Senior Care

Part 1 of 3: Assets (Cash) and Insurance

t may not be the most pleasant experience to think about, but it’s one of the most important financial issues you’ll face during your retirement: How will you pay for senior care if your family can’t take care of you? Several funding methods exist today to pay for senior care. The most common are assets (cash), insurance (long-term care insurance or life insurance), VA benefits or Medicaid, reverse mortgages, and trusts. In this first of article of Aging Tree Illustrated’s three-part series, “How to Pay for Senior Care,” we are focusing on paying for senior care with assets (cash) or insurance. (Check back in February for background and information on paying for senior care with Veterans Administration beneﬁts and Medicaid, and in March for funding sources that include reverse mortgages and trusts.) The information presented in these articles should be used as a navigational tool, and should not replace professional counsel by your trusted attorney, financial planner, insurance agent, and/or accountant. Paying for senior care is a very real challenge and concern for retiring senior Americans across the country. Depending upon a person’s or family’s assets, ability to care for each other, health and other factors, the options vary in price and opportunity.

Understand the deﬁnition of “senior care.” Senior care, as referenced in this article, includes independent living, assisted living, continuing care retirement communities, memory care facilities, nursing homes, hospice care, and in-home care.

assets, including a family’s resources and home equity.

The Navigational Tools

Get a feel for the costs. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (per 2010 statistics, the most recent available), senior care costs range from about $3,300 per month to $7,000 per month: • $205 per day or $6,235 per month for a semi-private room in a nursing home • $229 per day or $6,965 per month for a private room in a nursing home • $3,293 per month for care in an assisted living facility (for a one-bedroom unit)

Let’s start with the basics.

Know your starting point. There are several important steps that experts recommend you attend to before exploring funding options for senior care. These include ensuring you are 1) getting the most from your Social Security benefits; 2) checking your veterans’ aid and attendance benefits, if applicable; 3) and assuring your financial records are in order. These financial records may include your sources of income, assets, Social Security and Medicare benefits, insurance policy details, bank information, tax returns, wills, mortgages and debts, just to name a few.

Home healthcare aides, homemaker services, and services in adult day health care centers cost less. Know the primary funding categories. In general, there are four primary funding sources to assist in paying for senior care: 1) government programs, including Medicaid and veterans benefits; 2) insurance coverage, including life insurance and long-term care insurance; 3) private assistance from foundations or pharmaceutical companies; and 4) personal property and

A word about Medicare. Several experts we interviewed for this article mentioned Medicare and the confusion that surrounds it for many of their clients when it comes to paying for senior care. Bottom line: Medicare does not pay for senior care. Barbara Coenson, an Elder Law attorney based in Lake Mary, has counseled clients regarding Medicare and has witnessed the confusion regarding what it covers. “As people are getting toward retirement, they often use Medicare and only think in terms of Medicare for covering healthcare,” she says, “But Medicare is a health insurance program that’s in place for people to get better. “Sometimes, you need healthcare, but you’re not getting better,” adds Coenson. “That’s where Medicare coverage ends.” Coenson gives an example. “Let’s say someone is in rehabilitation, and Medicare pays for 100 days of rehab, but they only used 30 days,” explains Cocont. pg 9 |8|

enson. “But, after 30 days, they still require someone to help them with their care, so they transitioned into long-term care. That’s the point at which Medicare stops paying. “This catches a lot of families off guard because, all of a sudden, they have to reach into their pockets and transition to home health care, or an assisted living facility or nursing home,” she adds. “This is when families say, ‘What are we going to do now?’” Coenson says long-term care insurance policies can help seniors transition from Medicare use into assisted living or other senior care, and provide a funding source as families plan the next steps.

LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE

According to the 2012 long-term care insurance Price Index, as available via The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, the costs for long-term care insurance can vary significantly (each below represents a daily benefit of $150 for 3 years): Aging Tree half page Ad_Layout 1 2/19/14 10:45 AM Page 1

Long-term care insurance rates for single, age 55 • Average cost: $2,000 per year • Low cost: $1,764 • High cost: $3,446 Long-term care insurance rates for couple, both age 55 • Average cost: $2,466 per year (combined) • Low cost: $2,080 • High Cost: $4,824 Long-term care insurance rates couple, both age 60 • Average cost: $3,381 per year (combined) • Low cost: $2,794 • High cost: $5,637 The Association states most people apply for long-term care insurance between the ages of 55 and 64. Like other insurance products, many factors are considered when companies calculate long-term care insurance premiums. For example, your age, gender, current health, past health issues, and your family history of health issues play key roles. “When I counsel people, we review their medical history, we examine the likelihood they will be looking for some senior care placement, and we talk about the alterna-

tives,” says DeLand-based attorney Astrid de Parry. “In past decades, there was an opportunity to look for help in the family (for senior care) when extended family models were more common,” she adds. “People could reach out to family members. Sometimes, that is still an option, but not as often. The best plan is to have a plan and not leave it to chance.” Barney Lane, Certified Financial Planner ™ in DeLand, agrees. “Many clients do not picture themselves going into a nursing home; they picture themselves being cared for in their homes,” he says, adding that in-home care often is covered in long-term care policies. “I like to counsel my clients through these options,” says Lane. “For example, I may want to get taken care of in my home when I’m older, but my wife might not be able to. That’s why folks need to plan around it.” Looking at all the alternatives and understanding the costs and benefits of every policy are keys to selecting long-term care insurance. If you anticipate you may prefer in-home care, look into that option when you are selecting a long-term care insurance provider. If instead you anticipate

you’ll prefer or need a facility, get the details. Ask yourself: What are my goals and how does the product fit them? Your trusted consultants should steer you toward the best solution. “Some of my clients have been fortunate to have purchased long-term care policies, and there are some good products out there that help them quite a bit,” says de Parry. “What is best and right for any single individual depends on that person’s circumstances.”

LIFE INSURANCE

Experts say cash-value life insurance policies are not designed for long-term care coverage; they are designed as a death benefit. They do have a cash value, but that cash value comes to fruition upon the policyholder’s death, oftentimes to be used for the needs of family members who survive him or her. However, several universal life policies (“hybrid” policies) on the market are designed to pull from a death benefit over several years. These policies not only provide a death benefit, but also an opportunity to pay for long-term care via a policy rider. They typically must be purchased at an earlier age, for example, before the age of 50. ReverseMortgageAd10x6.125.pdf 1 10/6/15 2:30 PM

ANNUITIES (CASH)

Some annuity policies have long-term care riders that can be added to those contracts, too. These vary in type, costs, and benefits. Lane says the biggest risk when it comes to using assets to fund senior care is a longevity risk: people can outlive their assets. He says this comes into play when we spend more than we have to fund the number of years we live, or we experience a health event in that timeframe and it’s not covered by insurance. Says Lane, “You don’t want to be in a situation where you’re home alone and your assets are running out. “The past days of people retiring with a pension are coming to an end, and there are few guaranteed lifetime benefits,” says Lane. “Our challenge is to determine how to make a client’s assets last a lifetime.” Thomas B. Fleishel, Certified Financial Planner ™ in DeLand, also has insight regarding using annuities to fund senior care. “If a client doesn’t need every bit of their assets for retirement income, they may be able to afford to carve off a portion for long-term care,” says Fleishel. “Asset-based long-term care policies use the assets to leverage the money for long-term care ben-

efits. That money can be removed for use in long-term care without being taxed.” According to Fleishel, approximately 40 percent of Americans will need long-term care after the age of 65. So, he urges clients to look into the future as clearly as possible when it comes to how they’ll fund care in their final retirement years. Says Fleishel: “If you don’t have coverage for senior care, and you’re living on a fixed income, what will you do financially? Don’t let this devastate your family.” Aging Tree Illustrated’s three-part series, “How to Pay for Senior Care,” continues in upcoming issues.

Invest in Your Health

Because Saving Time and Money Isn’t Enough

uring a recent conversation with my client, A.C., we were engaged in a wonderful discussion about his plans for the new year and his new found time freedom after having just retired a few days earlier. He was excited because he was receiving expert counsel about his financial portfolio. He was optimistic that he would have what he needed to move forward with this new season of life and long term care. When thinking about how to pay for senior care our minds naturally gravitate toward the financial issues involved, such as investing, Social Security, mortgages, trusts, and insurance including long term care. We examine the value of our assets and diligently plan with the help of experts in these areas for whatever will happen next, hoping we will have what we need. It warms my heart that Aging Tree has a wealth of resources in this extremely important area of life. Reﬂecting upon my conversation with A.C., there was one area of his portfolio that he had not mentioned. There was an investment strategy he had not included in his analysis. Dr. William Sears, author of Prime Time Health: A Scientifically Proven Plan for Feeling Younger and Living Longer identifies four key components of planning for prime time health: Save enough money, Save enough time, Nurture your relationships and Maintain your health. Why is health the essential ingredient? The fact of the matter is that not everyone is able to save enough money or have the time freedom they would like, but we all can make deposits into our IRAH at any age. Deposits to your IRAH will give you the opportunity to add years to your life and life to your years. So what is this extraordinary investment strategy? Your IRAH is your Individual Retirement Account for Health and it is not something you have, it is who you are. Did you know that by getting healthier, you might save a lot of money over the course of your lifetime by eliminating

costly medical bills? In a recent article in Moneywatch it noted that a couple retiring at age 65 could potentially save $100,000 or more. Books such as Discover Wellness: How Staying Healthy Can Make You Rich by Dr. Bob Hoffmann and Dr. Jason A. Deitch and several other resources speak to the extraordinary untapped resource that lies within us all at whatever age, stage or condition of life we may find ourselves. So are you ready to start the complete overhaul to position yourself for success? Of course not! Changing one’s habits, especially those acquired over time will take motivation, in-

spiration, perhaps some perspiration and time. For many of us that still sounds like work. How about making health your hobby? Find a buddy and support each other in your efforts to improve your health and vitality. Start learning your numbers. For example, what is your waist circumference and body-mass index (BMI)? What are your blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol counts? What are healthy ranges for these numbers? What other numbers do you need to know? Read a book and surround yourself with people that inspire you in the area of health and wellness. Several employers and insurance companies sponsor wellness programs. Some programs even pay small financial incentives for participation. Take time to learn

By Cheree M. Albert MSN, ARNP, CPNP about wellness programs you may be eligible for; grab your buddy and GO! Taking a short brisk walk daily. If you already are, add a little more to your current exercise routine by adding 10 more minutes or carrying small hand weights with you. Improve one or two of your meals this week by increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Try to reduce your consumption of processed foods, meat, sugar, sodium, fat and soda. Eliminate seconds for one or two meals. Before you start eating take just one serving, put the rest in a leftover container and into the fridge. Find five to 10 minutes each day to relax and get away from the things that stress you. Focus on your breathing -- inhale and exhale slowly. Plan for at least seven hours of restorative sleep each night. Seek help if this is a challenge. Schedule an appointment for your annual physical. Review what screening tests you are eligible for with your insurance carrier. Schedule your dental checkup. Unhealthy teeth can cause physical illness and shorten your lifespan. If you have an unhealthy habit such as smoking or consuming too much alcohol, reduce it by a little bit each week. Think one or two fewer cigarettes, one or two fewer drinks. Be kind to yourself. Remember that a new habit can takes months to acquire. These are just a few of the deposits into your IRAH that will make a difference in your health and wealth. Choose one simple change to do this week. Next week, choose another. At the end of each week, take a few minutes to reﬂect on your progress. Do you feel better, even just a little bit? Enjoy the results of your investment. Share with a friend and celebrate!

INSIDE ADVISOR - LEGAL Can you relate to these feelings? You’re scared. You wonder whether you’ll end up losing your life’s savings – or much of it – to senior care (which can include assisted living care, nursing home care, inhome care, etc.). You don’t know what to do. You think it’s too late to plan. As you’ve aged and your physical or mental health has declined, you and your loved ones have started noticing it’s getting harder for you to get in and out of the car, and getting up from the couch has become a struggle. You’ve started to forget things, too. You need help, but you don’t want to be a burden on your children. So, you do research and learn senior care is expensive. In fact, the average annual cost of Senior care in Volusia County is about $42,500 for homecare, about

$45,000 for an assisted living residence, and about $95,500 for a nursing home facility, according to the 2015 Genworth Cost of Care Survey for Florida. https:// www.genworth.com/dam/Americas/ US/PDFs/Consumer/corporate/cost-ofcare/118928FL_040115_gnw.pdf. Maybe you thought Medicare or your Medicare supplement would pay for senior care, but they won’t, except in the rarest of circumstances and only for a short time. You suddenly realize that all or most of your life savings might be lost to senior care expenses, instead of going to your loved ones. Your savings won’t last long. You think you have too much money to receive government benefits that your tax dollars support, and it’s too late to plan. But, take heart: it’s rarely too late to plan. Although better results are nearly always obtained when we plan before a crisis arises, there are planning methods available in a crisis, too. For example, sometimes, the “well” spouse of a married couple can keep much or all of the couple’s income, and have up to $119,220 of countable assets. Other times, the well spouse can retain an

JANUARY 2016 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com • 866-320-8803

By Scott A. Selis, Esq. unlimited amount of assets and all of their own income, but none of the ill spouse’s income. It’s also critical to plan for the possibility that the well spouse could die first. You usually can’t disinherit the ill spouse, who can only have $2,000 of countable assets. During a crisis, unmarried people usually preserve a decent amount of their assets, too. The most common methods include purchasing an automobile, purchasing a pre-paid funeral, establishing a “burial account,” and paying off a mortgage. Other planning methods are available, too. Read next month’s article for more information. Scott Selis is a lawyer at Chiumento Selis Dwyer in DeLand, Ormond, and Palm Coast.

INSIDE ADVISOR - HEALTH WISE

Be HEALTH WISE in 2016 One of the most certain things about healthcare in 2016 is the uncertainty of healthcare. You likely chose a new insurance plan to start off the New Year. I’m quite certain that you have questions or concerns. Deductibles, copays, out of pocket max, referrals, replacements…what does all of this mean to you and the plan you chose this year? The language of healthcare can be so confusing. Some insurance plans promise you will have access to thousands of providers, but when you need even a simple X-ray; you may be surprised to know that your options are limited. Why? Other plans reveal for example, that you may have only one option for physical therapy. How will that affect you if you have surgery this year? Where can you get the prescription medications filled that your doctor has

prescribed? These questions aren’t meant to scare you. The fact is that you probably don’t even know what you don’t know about healthcare. Many of you have previously contacted the Aging Tree for guidance about these types of questions and more. So, we will spend the next ten months answering your questions and providing you with the most helpful information we can find. Then, in October, just before the next open enrollment, we will provide a detailed analysis of the main plans available in our local area and the pros and cons of each as we have seen directly affect patients. This will help you make a very educated decision about the plan you choose for next year. The best way to navigate the ever changing world of healthcare is to educate yourself about the choices that you, the patient should have. It is easy to be derailed by marketing strategies or other ploys when selecting a plan. The Aging Tree remains committed to assisting seniors in simplifying their lives and providing access to reliable information.

By Kim Denoff Please email any questions you may have about your new health insurance plan, problems you have encountered, or any positive comments you have to share to kim@advancedimagingfl.com. This column will help the community at large and your question may very well show up here next month. Let’s all work together. Let us help you be Health Wise!

Beneﬁts of DETOX

Have you noticed that over time our desks become cluttered with mail, our closets are full of clothes we hardly wear and our garages are full of stuff that we think we may need one day. It is advisable to clean out our spaces periodically to keep only the things that will benefit us and get rid of the unnecessary items. It is much the same principle in our bodies, we accumulate toxins and stress from our environment that can become harmful to us, if we store them for prolonged periods of time. It is time to detox and cleanse in order to help our bodies function at peak performance levels! One way to detect if you are in need of a detox is to look at your skin, which can be an external indicator of what is happening internally in our liver, our blood and colon. If you notice any new eruptions or blemishes, it is important to treat the cause and not the effect. Most of our immune system is found with the walls of our intestinal tract. Therefore by being mindful of what we eat and digesting our foods properly we can assimilate all the nutrients rather than gathering waste, mucus and toxemias within our digestive system. Some Helpful Tips • Drink plenty of water for hydration and elimination • Stay active & breathe deeply to oxygenate your cells • Eat more organic foods • Include alkaline foods such as fruits, greens and sprouts • Switch to a more plant-based diet to reduce internal toxicity • Avoid excess refined sugar, soda, caffeine and dairy products • Try Massage Therapy to release lactic acid build up in your muscles • Experience an Infra-Red Sauna session • Cleanse your pores with a Facial • Follow a Detox Supplement program at your local Health Food Store!

Each of the performance measures represents how a nursing home ranked within its geographical region. All of the nursing homes in a particular region could perform better than the statewide average. Therefore, a low rank does not necessarily indicate a “low quality” facility. Similarly, all of the nursing homes in a particular region could perform lower than the statewide average. Therefore, receiving a high rank does not necessarily indicate a “high quality” facility. All facilities listed in this guide have met the requirements for being licensed as a nursing home. The ranks calculation methodology utilizes nursing home licensure and certification inspection deficiency data. Inspection deficiency reports display the violations of the regulation that are found during an inspection of the nursing home.

Aging Tree Travel Adventures

Charming Charleston & Savannah City Stay (May 17-21)

ife’s short…explore a little more. That’s the sentiment behind Aging Tree Travel Adventures, an exciting new travel partnership between Aging Tree and Roseborough Travel Agency. Creating amazing, all-inclusive travel packages for seniors is not a new venture for Roseborough; they’ve been doing so for 45 years. But now, partnered with the trusted Aging Tree, more seniors can experience the world, and as Roseborough believes, “fulﬁll dreams one destination at a time.” “These trips have been designed to pro-

vide premier tour vacations that are specific to seniors’ needs and desires, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Roseborough Travel Agency to make them a reality,” says Corey Shenk, Aging Tree CEO. “Throughout 2016, we’ll be presenting premium tour packages for value prices,” adds Shenk. “This year will be a great year for some amazing adventures!” With their decades of experience, the team at Roseborough Travel Agency understands seniors’ travel needs…and delivers results. “We have an excellent handle on what seniors want with regard to accommodations and travel,” says Amanda Vallone, the agency’s owner. She says the agency has experience traveling with seniors with disabilities, and is accustomed to accommodating those with mobility challenges, too. In short, from the beginning of the planning stages to the final arrival back home, Roseborough Travel Agency takes care of all the details.

This year, three Aging Tree Travel Adventures already are in the works: 1) Charming Charleston & Savannah City Stay (May 17-21); Best of Italy (September 1-15) and 3) Christmas at Biltmore Mansion (late November). We’ll outline the details of each of these trips in upcoming issues of Aging Tree Illustrated, so stay tuned! Kicking off the year of adventure is the Charming Charleston & Savannah City Stay, which includes Tybee Island and Beauford and envelope travelers in the charm and southern hospitality of historic Savannah and beautiful Charleston. There, you can vacation among the blooms, Victorian architecture, and historic surroundings, while enjoying unique restaurants and charming shopping districts. The trip includes: • round-trip transportation via a deluxe motorcoach from Aging Tree • four nights of accommodations at a four-star quality inn or bed-andbreakfast • baggage handling • admission into attractions on the tour • most gratuities • most meals Taking special care to ensure seniors enjoy their travels safely and comfortably is of utmost importance for Aging Tree Travel Adventures trips. For example, the Savannah/Charleston trip will include: • A kneeling motorcoach with a restroom facility on board • On-board (bus) storage for walkers, wheelchairs and scooters • Frequent rest breaks and stops • Adjustments to meals for dietary restrictions, such as sodium and lactose, if needed • Disability-accessible inn/bed-andbreakfast rooms, I • Non-smoking accommodations

Tips

How to keep it!

As many as 28% to 45% seniors fall per year. As we age we begin to loose our balance for various reasons. It could be from how the medications may effect our bodies, various medical conditions such as inner ear conditions, low blood pressure, neurological problems or from surgeries knee & hip replacements, foot conditions and impaired vision. Also environmental harasses (having scattered rugs, poor lighting in the home) and or lack of physical activity. The effect of drugs on the elderly, and the difficulties surrounding medication compliance, are also believed to be the root cause for many of fall incidents. Root Cause of Falls • Accident/Environmental.....................31% • Gait/Balance Disorder........................17% • Other Specified .................................15% • Vertigo/Dizziness...............................13% • Drop Attack .......................................10% So as we age how can we keep our balance. • First start out by scheduling an appointment with your primary care physician for a complete physical and to discuss any concerns you maybe having with your balance. • Second if possible have an environmental assessment completed by a professional i.e. Physical Therapist if able to ensure your home is safe. • Third incorporate a well balance diet. I recommend meeting with a dietitian to go over your daily/weekly meal plan. The dietitian will also suggest how you can maintain balance meals on your budget. • Stretching start your day with daily stretching exercises. Yoga is a wonderful exercise that will help you to not only keep your joints limber but it will increase your flexibility, coordination, range of motion, strength, balance as well as relaxation. • Resistance and weight training. With resistance and weight training is a slow and controlled movement which will helps the muscles to work against tension. Start with the lowest possible resistance band or weight slow increase. For example start with a 2 lb weight increase 2.5 lbs weight after 4 weeks or pending on what your physician says. Using resistance bands and weights will help you to increase your flexibility, coordination, range of motion, strength and of course your balance.

GARDENING BRANCH

Strong Roots

It’s Beginning to Look a Little Like Winter

s I sit here just before Christmas with the beginning of winter just around the corner it seems like I should be saying BRRRR and be snuggled up next to my fireplace with a warm cup of tea as I write this month’s issue of Strong Roots. But the Florida truth is I am sitting at my desk in shorts with doors open drinking a glass of ice tea. It is the time of year that makes living in Florida worth all the months of heat and humidity. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Never the less we are prone to frost and freezing in our area that comes and goes just to remind us it is winter. With all the heat loving/ cold sensitive plants that grow around here we need to make plans to break out the blankets and towels and whatever is big enough to cover our sensitive plants. But what do you do when you need to protect something larger like a bed of vegetables? After all we do live in an area where gardening is not just a spring/summer event. On the farm we have a variety of ways to protect our crops from cold even down into the twenty degree range. Some of these methods may fit your needs and some will not be practical, but I thought I would go over some ways that we protect our sensitive crops. Our first method is to plant mostly cold tolerant crops. Many vegetables can tolerate our Florida winters with little to know extra protection. Most of the brassica family including cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliﬂower and kohlrabi do well in cool weather and suffer little is any damage in a mild freeze. Spinach is a cold warrior and laughs in the face of a freeze. Most root crops will be fine safely snuggled in the warm earth. When choosing your winter seed you also want to look for the more cold tolerant ones. Most seed companies will give a comparison of cold and heat tolerances on their websites. I recommend Johnny Select Seeds. They do

a good job in this area. But what do we do when we still want to grow cold sensitive crops in the fall/winter season such as beans and tomatoes. After all it would not be Florida without fresh tomatoes in the winter. So what do we do then? First we plant so we can get the harvest in before the first freezes. Beans love heat and even a frost can kill them off.

So we plant early and then harvest until the first frost or freeze. Then we take then out and wait until the last frost in early march and replant. In other words we don’t fight Mother Nature. The second thing we do is we shelter them in greenhouses. But this can be an expensive proposition even for a small greenhouse in a home garden. So the next best thing is what is called a low tunnel. This is a cheap and easy way for any home gardener to shelter their veggies of sensitive plants in the winter. To build a small low tunnel you can use anchor pins such as 2 foot long rebar rods or half inch electrical conduit and ½ inch

JANUARY 2016 | ONE-STOP Senior Care | Aging Tree.com • 866-320-8803

 PVC pipe for the frame. You drive the anchors about 1 foot into the ground at the edges of the garden bed about every 6 to 8 feet. Then you fit the PVC over the anchors. The ½ PVC pipe is ﬂexible enough that you can bend it easily. If it is a narrow bed you may need to cut the pipe in length. You only need to make it high enough to leave about a foot of space above the plants. On a long tunnel of more than 10 feet you may want to run a pipe along the top to steady the ribs and tie it together. We cover our tunnels with commercial frost cloth that is readily available from greenhouse suppliers in Apopka but it comes in 300 feet rolls. So if you don’t need that much I recommend using sheet plastic or tarps. You can anchor the covering in a variety of ways such as long nails or ground cloth staples. But if you use plastic you need to remove it each morning to prevent the plants from cooking in the sun. Most of the supplies I have mentioned can be bought at your local box store like Lowes or Home Depot. Finally, if we face a really cold night below 30 degrees I recommend throwing a couple of 60 watt lights or a string of Christmas lights under the cover for heat. Remember this is the one time you don’t want to be green wise and use LED lights. They don’t generate enough heat to protect the plants. I hope this makes gardening in the winter a bit easier and enjoyable for you. Until next month stay warm and remember that today is a good day to have a good day.
