MAKE YOUR SPACE MORE COMFORTABLE DURING THE WARM WEATHER AHEAD.

Is your home ready for summer?

“In the fall and winter, you want to use darker, heavier, warmer, richer colors,” explained Emma Beryl, an interior designer based in New York. “In spring and summer, you want to do fresher, lighter, brighter.” (NICK GLIMENAKIS FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES)

he change of seasons offers an opportunity to make changes of your own – not just in the way you dress, but in the way you dress the rooms you live in. “I grew up in a house where it was a family event to change literally everything – like slipcovers, curtains, pillows and even china” – with the seasons, said Amanda Nisbet, an interior designer based in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Hamptons, who grew up in Montreal. To this day, she follows that practice. “A year is a long time, and you don’t always want to look at the same things,” Nisbet said. Putting away winter ac-

cessories and digging out summer ones “heralds a new season.” If the goal in winter is to create a space that feels warm and cozy, the objective in summer is to make those rooms feel light and fresh. We asked interior designers for advice on exactly how to do that.

Switch out pillows and throws One of the easiest ways to change the appearance of a room is to switch out decorative textiles. “First and foremost, change out pillows,” said Zoë Feldman, an interior designer based in Washington, D.C. “That’s a very simple solution.” In the winter, you might

have heaps of heavy pillows, covered in velvet or chunky wool, that provide warmth. In the summer, lightweight linen or cotton is a sensible choice. Aside from the material, consider the visual warmth of your color choices, Feldman said: “For winter, you might want warm colors like curry, russet and olive green. Then in summer, you can switch that up for softer blushes or brighter hues like periwinkle, salad green and butter yellow.” The same holds true for throws. Summer is the time to put away any sheepskins or thick wool blankets hanging over the arms of sofas and chairs, and to bring out gauzy cotton and linen blankets or lightweight throws in fresh colors.

“A white cotton-duck slipcover or a linen slipcover just feels really fresh for spring and summer,” he said. “It’s also practical, because your upholstery gets less wear.” And it’s easy to wash those covers at the end of the season. Frumpy slipcovers fell out of favor with the decline of shabby-chic style, Olsen said, so make sure that yours are well tailored to your specific pieces of furniture. If you’re making your own, the fabric should be preshrunk, he added, to avoid problems later.

Roll up the rugs Large rugs are unwieldy and difficult to store, making it tough to change them with the seasons. So some designers use layers, putting large, summery rugs below Add slipcovers smaller wintry rugs that can “Fabrics have a seasonal be removed. quality to them, and velvets, “When there’s a big space, mohair and any sort of felt, to sometimes I like to do a me, has a fall-winter feeling neutral, natural rug like a and a warmth that is not jute or sisal on the bottom,” always suitable in spring and said Emma Beryl, an interior summer,” said Nick Olsen, an designer based in New York. interior designer in New York. “Then, in winter, I’ll maybe During the summer, he likes layer that with a wool or silk one to make it more textural to put crisp slipcovers over sofas and chairs upholstered and warmer.” SEE SUMMER, PAGE F5 with heavy fabrics.

Trees need to be within about a hundred feet of each other for effective cross-pollination. If cross-pollination is needed but lacking, you need to plant another tree or graft one branch of a different variety onto your tree. Lee Reich | In the Garden

Getting to the root cause of a tree not bearing fruit

BARREN FRUIT tree is a disappointment. If the tree is young and not yet of flowering age, fruitlessness can be forgiven. But the barrenness of a mature tree, following a snowball of blossoms in the spring, will dampen the enthusiasm of any gardener. If a fruit tree flowers every year but never produces any fruit, it may be that its flowers need cross-pollination. This means that the flowers need pollen from a different variety of the same type of fruit. Most apples, pears, sweet cherries, Japanese plums, and hybrid plums need cross-pollination. No fruit, for example, will be produced by an isolated McIntosh apple tree, or two McIntosh apple trees planted near each other. On the other hand, neighboring McIntosh and Golden Delicious apple trees both will produce fruit. Most peaches, apricots, tart cherries, and European plums (dark-blue, oval plums) do not need cross-pollination, so even isolated trees should bear fruit. The same holds true for most berries and grapes. Pollination can become complicated in special cases. Some

flowers are especially fastidious about their mates. Bartlett and Seckel, two commonly planted pear varieties, can’t pollinate each other. The pollen of some apple varieties – Winesap, Mutsu, Jonagold, and a few others – can’t fertilize any other apple varieties. Such incompatabilities also exist amongst varieties of sweet cherries and hybrid plums. The Magness pear is a plant whose flower produces no pollen at all. In such cases, where cross-pollination is needed and one variety produces poor pollen or no pollen, three different varieties must grow near each other for all to fruit. The blossoming period of trees that need to cross-pollinate must coincide. Usually this is not too much of a problem, unless, for instance, one were to plant a very early blossoming apple such as Lodi with a late-season blossoming one like Macoun (and there were no other apple trees nearby). Trees need to be within about a hundred feet of each other for effective cross-pollination. If cross-pollination is needed but lacking, you need to plant another tree or graft one branch of a different va-

riety onto your tree. An easier and quicker solution is to beg or steal some flowering branches from another tree (remember, it must be a different variety) and put their bases in a bucket of water beneath your tree. If a fruit trees blossoms yearly, but produces varying amounts of fruit each year, the problem could be poor honeybee activity. Pollination is effected mostly by honeybees, but they go on strike if the weather is too cold (below 50 degrees), too rainy, or too windy (more than 15 mph). Such conditions rarely prevail throughout the entire blossoming period, so fruit trees may not produce enough fruit, but at least they produce some fruit. A possible recourse in this case would be to hand pollinate the blossoms with an artist’s brush. This is a commercial practice in intensive orchards An apple tree that blossoms but does not produce fruit might in Japan. Also, since most inneed a mate, that is, a different variety of apple blossoming secticides are toxic to bees,

it would be foolish (and illegal) to spray such chemicals on fruit trees in bloom. Variable production from year to year, with no fruit some years, also can result if the blossoms or developing fruitlets freeze. The critical temperature depends on the type of tree and the stage of bloom, but generally speaking, start to worry as the mercury drops to the high 20s. Apricots bloom early in the spring and their blossoms often succumb to late spring frosts. A sheet or a blanket thrown over a small tree might keep such flowers a few critical degrees warmer than the ambient air. You can tell if developing fruitlets have been damaged by cold by sacrificing one and slicing it in half. A blackened center indicates cold damage. OK, so you have good pollination and the weather has been cooperative, but there still are no fruits on your tree. Animals could be the culprits. Some insects cause small, developing fruits to drop. The plum curculio (her activity is not restricted only to plums) is one such insect whose tell-tale sign is a crescent-shaped scar on the fruit. As fruits enlarge, they become appealing to furry and feathered animals. I know of one apricot tree that is stripped clean of its unripe fruits on almost the same day every year by a squirrel hungry for the developing seeds. The evidence: ground littered with split open, green apricots. For all these potential problems, remember that fruit trees have had for eons the same goal that you have this year: to produce ripe fruit. In anticipation of poor pollination, adverse weather and insect predation, these trees usually set more fruit than they have the energy to ripen. Come June, the trees seem to breathe a sigh of relief as they shed excess fruits. Don’t let the falling fruits of “June drop” scare you, as there should be plenty of fruit – often too many – still left on the tree. Come visit my garden at leereich.com/blog.

Unconventional table draws interest at auction

N THE 1980S, A friend’s mother decided to redecorate with unfamiliar modern-style furniture. She bought a small wooden table that was painted red and designed by Jeff Lederman, an Ohio artist. The table had won a prize for design in an Illinois state contest. Lederman was a busy artist who changed interests and occupations many times. He designed logos for companies in the 1970s and furniture in the 1980s. For a while, he put his art aside for a new career saving wildlife. He painted pictures again from 2014 to 2018 and started making digital art in 2020.

30-year US mortgage rate dips to 5.1% By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

For much of this year, mortgage rates had been steadily climbing higher, reaching levels not seen in more than a decade. But these past few weeks have offered a bit of a reprieve. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average dropped to its lowest level in five weeks, falling to 5.1% with an average 0.9 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.25% the previous week and 2.95% a year ago. Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages. Rates for refinances may be different. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower. The 15-year fixed-rate average slid to 4.31% with an average 0.8 point. It was 4.43% the previous week and 2.27% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average rose to 4.2 percent with an average 0.3 point. It was 4.08% the previous week and 2.59% a year ago. Meanwhile, mortgage applications fell again last week. The market composite index – a measure of total loan application volume – decreased 1.2% from a week earlier, according to Mortgage Bankers Association data.

Backyard sanctuary is for the birds

HERE’S SOMEthing about birds that few people can resist. Maybe it’s because they’re our most familiar wildlife, especially in urban environments. Or perhaps it’s the freedom of flying, something we can only experience in dreams. Whatever the reason, bird lovers everywhere work hard to attract our fine feathered friends to their own outdoor spaces. Now it’s easy to create a do-it-yourself bird sanctuary in your own backyard. All it takes is a few hand tools, a small quantity of inexpensive (or even scrap) lumber and a little free time.

Perfect projects for beginners, the seven structures pictured here include two large “apartments,” two smaller birdhouses and three feeders. Each project features traceable pieces and basic construction techniques, and all seven projects follow the same basic step-by-step process. Simply trace the parts onto wood, cut everything out and sand. Assemble using glue and nails, then finish with paint or stain, or leave the wood natural for a rustic look. The martin palace (the largest of the projects) measures 34 inches tall by

20 inches wide by 20 inches deep. The seven plans of the Birdhouse Assortment, No. C12, are $19.95. Each plan includes step-by-step instructions, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams and a shopping list and cutting schedule. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

Vinaigrette on the coffee table

OT LONG AGO I got a request from reader Kelly R., for a DIY recipe for furniture polish. She said that she uses a lot of it and it is so expensive. My first thought was, of course, to suggest she time her purchases for when furniture polish goes on sale, and then to stock up. I recently purchased a can of Pledge aerosol polish (reg. $6.49) for $2.50. I was harboring a $1 off coupon, and when Pledge went on sale for two for $8, I used my coupon, bought one can and enjoyed a great bargain. Kelly didn’t mention environmental issues in her desire to make her own furniture polish, but after doing some research on the matter, that may be something all of us should consider, perhaps even more than the high cost.

I was amazed to see what goes into a can of spray furniture polish. Many contain synthetic ingredients such as silicone, solvents, petroleum distillates and artificial fragrances to mask the chemical smells. All of us can establish a healthier home and at the same time save a lot of money by replacing chemical furniture polish with this homemade formula: • 1 part olive oil • 1/2 part lemon juice Mix it all together until blended well. You can do this in a blender or food processor to get the items to emulsify in the same way you would make salad dressing. To use, simply apply a small amount of the mixture with a soft cloth and buff to a shine. Use sparingly. A little of this mixture will go a long way.

It is best to start with a small amount on your cloth, adding more as necessary. If you leave too much oil on furniture it will act as a magnet to attract the dust you’re trying to avoid. You may prefer to use Jojoba oil instead of olive oil, if you can find it (look in a health food store). Jojoba is a natural liquid wax that has no scent and will not become rancid. No lemon juice handy? Use white distilled vinegar in place of the lemon juice. Do not make large batches of this furniture polish, because unlike the canned stuff, these natural ingredients will lose their effectiveness in time. It is best to make up a small batch in the amount you will need at the time, or no more than you will use in a month. Store in a very clean container like a squeeze or spray bottle. Label the container, and keep out of

reach of children. It is always a good idea to test anything new in an inconspicuous place first. Then give yourself a little time to get used to this new kind of furniture polish. If you’ve been using the aerosol-type commercial furniture polishes, you may find this method a bit more tedious. But give it a chance. Try it for a month. I did. I am confident that the cost savings together with breathable air as you clean will convince you to make the change permanent.
