It’s Time for Spring Cleaning!

1.De-funk your fabric! Ma?ress covers, pillows, bath mats, even shower curtains can be put in the washing machine.

2. SaniEze Your Work StaEon: Wipe down your computer screen with a lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Do the same with the mouse pad, then load a fun wallpaper on the screen.

3. Manage Microwave Messes: Cut a lemon in half, put the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with water to cover, and cook on High for two to three minutes. Then grate the fruit in the garbage disposal to eliminate any musty odor and greasy gunk.

4. Shake It Out: Gather up throw rugs and take them outside for a good shake. Then air them on a clothesline or railing for several hours.

5. Purge the Fridge: You could remove all the glass shelves and bins and wash them or give them a fast once-over with a wet cloth or sponge. A fresh box of baking soda absorbs odors, too.

6. Cut Table Clu?er: Switch from tablecloths to place mats, and arrange a bowl of fruit or flowers on the table to keep it from being the ‘catch-all’ table (we all have one)..

7. Banish Garbage Odors: Take plasEc garbage cans outside for a quick hosing out, and leave them upside down to dry. Then sprinkle the bo?oms with baking soda to keep cans odor free.

8. De-Germ Sponges: Soak a sponge in bleach - Mix 3/4 cup of bleach in one gallon of water, and soak the sponge for five minutes.

9. Clean the Corners!

10. Toss Old Toiletries. Also, check the cabinet for expired cold medicines and trash them.

Thanks to Good Housekeeping for the Eps!

TULSA

From the Publisher: Thank you for taking the time to see what Tulsa Home Resource Directory is all about! I am extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to bring this directory, the newest home resource guide, to the Greater Tulsa Area. This is my home, and over the past several years I have seen the efforts to grow us into a more prosperous community. I have full confidence through our advertisers that the Tulsa Home Resource Guide will be part of that growth as well.

My personal goal with Tulsa Home Resource Directory is to help point homeowners in the right direction to fulfil your home project needs. Our advertisers are experts in their fields, and each one is excited to help you in a different way to improve your home in any way they can. Some even help with homeowner’s insurance claims!

Please email us with any suggestions you have to make this publication better. Tulsa Home Resource Directory is for YOU, therefore we want to serve YOU in the best way possible. All I ask is that you tell our advertisers you saw them in Tulsa Home Resource Directory (and don’t hesitate to ask any vendor at the show why they aren’t in the directory) – these are the highest compliments we can receive as a new publication in Tulsa.

A slightly different take on a slightly different home advertising publication.

On the cover:

918 Outdoor shows us how they can create your dream backyard. Visit them at the Tulsa Home & Garden Show!

Thank you again, and have a wonderful March and April.

Happy Easter!

From a Florist

We asked a friendly local florist, Tasha Bartholic, what flowers she thought were the best to grow in Oklahoma. She’s been in the industry for 30+years, so she knows her stuff. This is what she told me: Azaleas. Our azaleas aren’t just beautiful, they grow like hedges, so they’re one of my favorites.

Sunflowers. Who doesn’t like sunflowers?

Liatris. It grows all over Oklahoma, but you could make a wedding bouquet out of some of the wildflowers around here!

Zinnias. They’re just beautiful.

Easy to plant, keep, grow, and just enjoy in your garden.

Goldenrod. It might be what’s making all of us sneeze, but it’s gorgeous.

Queen Anne’s Lace. It might come from a funny place, but people still eat truffles and use truffle oil!

Succulents.

Succulents are the secret gems of the flower world.

Really easy to care for, they bring the outdoors in without making you sneeze!

Best Vegetables to Grow NOW in Oklahoma Lettuce – Plant outdoors at the end of February and you’ll have success. It grows great in containers too!

Kale & Chard – Plant at the same time as your lettuce. Easy!

Green/Spring Onions – (the little bulbs you see at the nursery) Plant at the same time as lettuce. Again, easy!

Beans – Green beans are the easiest!

Snow Peas or Peas w/edible pods – easy to grow in OK. Okra – Adores our weather, needs its space, but easy. Make sure you pick daily as soon as Corn – Wonderful if you can keep it away from raccoons!

Potatoes – Most any kind will do well if you plant them before St. Patrick’s Day. Tomatoes- Newbies, buy a kit.

Melons - Cantaloupe, honeydew & Watermelon Pumpkins & winter squash are easy too. They require a long warm season so make sure you follow the timing instructions so that they don’t ripen before Halloween.

Strawberries – it takes about three years to get a decent berry crop since you have to pinch the blossoms off the 1st year, but you’ll be glad you did.
