Homegrown peas are a snap above the rest

THIS WEEK IS A very special one in my gardening year; it’s the week I plant peas. It’s sort of the official beginning of the vegetable garden. “Sort of” because actually have been planting and harvesting lettuce, mâche, arugula, claytonia, kale, bok choy, chard, and celery all winter in the greenhouse.

For some gardeners, St. Patrick’s Day is the date for sowing peas. Yes, that is the correct date for pea sowing — in Ireland, Virginia, and other places where I imagine soil temperatures reach about 40° F by that date. Above 40° F, and pea seeds become most likely to sprout rather than rot. On the other hand, waiting too long to plant pea seeds has the plant bearing during hot weather; peas don’t stand the heat well.

I mostly plant shelling peas, which are admittedly more trouble because they need shelling. To me, they’re worth it, for their flavor. I recommend the very tasty varieties Green Arrow and Lincoln.

My pea plants grow right up the center of 3-foot-wide beds. I make two furrows a couple of inches deep, one on either side of a bed’s center, and 4 inches apart. The seeds go in a couple of inches apart.

Pea plants are sometimes available as transplants, or, as my neighbor used to call them, “starts,” in cell-packs. Don’t buy them. Peas are a vegetable for which you sow the seeds directly in the garden. The reason is that the yield from a single plant, even six plants in a cell-pack is too minuscule to be worth it. And pea seeds sprout readily. Have some faith.

Once seedlings poke up through the ground surface, I put a trellis up the middle of the row. My trellis is temporary, able to move around the garden, just as do the pea plants, to a different bed each

MONSON Guest night

Monson Garden Club is sponsoring its “Guest Night” program, featuring floral design with Bob Whitney, on April 1 at 7 p.m. in the First Church of Monson on High Street. This program is open to the public with light refreshments to be served. A suggested donation of $5 will give guests a chance to take home one of the arrangements made during the presentation.

season. I pound a metal post into the ground at each end of the row, and then weave 3-foot high poultry netting (“chicken wire”), inch-anda-half mesh, onto the posts. I use fiberglass electric fence posts, but any thin stakes woven at intervals into the netting and pushed into the ground keeps the fence from being floppy. After the final harvest, I pull up the pea plants, pull up the thin stakes, remove and roll up the netting, and pull up the end posts for use next year. A number of other seeds can be planted around the same time as peas. Those would include, except celery, the vegetables I mentioned above that have been growing in the greenhouse all winter. Radishes could also be included here, and spinach. And potatoes, as 2 ounce, whole tubers or pieces of cut tubers.

Also significant about early April on my gardening calendar is that it’s when Isow tomato seeds, indoors in seed flats. It’s not that tomato is my favorite garden vegetable; it’s just that it’s such a popular vegetable and perhaps the most versatile.

For a cherry tomato to just pop right in my mouth or put in salads, I grow Sungold.

That’s all they’re good for, but they’re really, really good for that.

I dry many varieties, especially Amish Paste and Anna Russian. Some of them also go into jars, along with San Marzano, arguably the best tasting tomato for canning. (In Italy, cans of tomato made with San Marzano tout that on the label.) Blue Beech is another variety, this one with a unique flavor, that I both can and dry.

For good, fresh-eating and very pretty tomatoes, I’m growing Nepal, Carmello, and, with a bright orange skin, Valencia. All three varieties are round tomatoes with smooth, crack-free skins.

For the very best in fresh eating tomatoes, there are many to choose from. I’m growing Paul Robeson and Pink Brandywine this year, although many others, such as Belgian Giant, Cherokee Purple, or others with “Brandywine” in their name could also fill the bill. Extras of these and the previous mentioned “good, fresh eating” varieties go into sauce, but not, of course, the dedicated San Marzano batches. Besides being good for cooking and drying, Amish Paste and Anna Russian are also good

The last class in the series is “composting.” Janet Dolder, Springfield Garden Club member and master gardener, will cover how to turn kitchen scraps and garden waste into brown gold.

The class will be held at the Shea Building at Forest Park, 300 Sumner Ave. The fee is $10. Tickets are available on Eventbrite, by emailing spfldgardenclub@gmail.com or by calling 413-285-3163.

Telling your story

Here’s how to arrange a bookshelf like a pro

By T im Mc K eough New York Times

In a public library, styling a bookshelf is easy: Just fill it with books. At home, a bookcase needs to do a lot more than hold books.

So how do the pros do it?

Start by thinking of your shelves as a kind of 3D wallpaper that adds visual interest to a room. The things you choose to display should express your personality.

“It’s like a little cabinet of curiosities,” said Jeremiah Brent, an interior designer and the newest cast member

of Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” Your bookshelves, he added, offer “an opportunity for people to look in and see where you’ve been and where you’re going.”

In the New York City home he shares with his husband, Nate Berkus — a much-photographed space featured in Brent’s new book, “The Space That Keeps You,” and often seen on Instagram, as well — the bookshelves in the den are always changing. But they’re usually filled with stacks of favorite design books, photos of loved ones and pieces of art made by their children, Poppy and Oskar.

“It’s about having fun and playing around with different ways to layer things in and tell your story,” Brent said. Here’s how he does it.

Choose your favorite books

Stuffing your shelves completely full of books can look great, especially in a home library. But if you want to mix in objects, art and photos, you may have to pick and choose which books to

Organized shelving at the home of interior designer Jeremiah Brent in New York on March 4. Styled bookshelves help finish a room — but they should also express your personality, said Brent, an interior designer and the newest cast member of Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” (TONY CENICOLA / THE NEW YORK TIMES)

fresh. Not San Marzano, though; it’s awful raw.

As with pea planting, my tomato-sowing date is not for everyone; what is for everyone is to sow the seeds about six weeks before the local “average date of the last killing frost,” a date that is available online or from the local County Cooperative Extension Office.

Sowing on this date strikes a nice balance between plants being small enough to make a smooth transition out to the garden and being sufficiently large for a timely first harvest.

Early April isn’t the date to start all transplants. I sowed onion seeds way back in

of 2024. Applicants must be West Springfield residents. Applicants must submit a completed application along with a written one-page document that demonstrates their plans for after graduation in any of the above-mentioned fields and how the grant will assist in their career choice. Application forms are available at the Guidance offices of Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative located a 174 Brush Hill Ave., the West Springfield High School at 425 Piper Road or on the West Springfield Garden Club website, wwsgardenclub.org.

Applicants from WSHS or LPVEC should submit their completed application and written entry to their Guidance office. Post-secondary student applicants can submit their materials directly to WSGC Scholarship Committee, c/o West Springfield Park and Recreation, 26 Central St., West Springfield, MA 01089. All applications must be received by the scholarship committee by April 12. The successful candidates will be notified via mail in mid-May. Send items for Garden Notes to pmastriano@repub.com two weeks prior to publication.

early February, and pepper and eggplant seeds in early March. For an early crop of cucumbers or melons, I’ll sow those in early May for transplanting at the end of the month. Or I’ll plant the seeds directly in the ground sometime soon after the “last killing frost” date. (I made a whole chart of vegetables and garden sowing, indoor sowing, and transplanting dates, keyed to whatever anyone’s “last frost date” is, in my book Weedless Gardening, available at the usual book sources, or, signed, directly from me at leereich.com/books.)

The Washington Post

Several years ago, I moved into a condo in San Francisco. My wife said we might not be able to stay. Stepping into the shower, we were greeted by a sad trickle rather than a blast of water. No amount of fiddling was of any

help. The plumber told me there was nothing he could do.

An online search led to salvation: hundreds of specialized nozzles that amp up water pressure even with meager volumes of water. Soon, we rinsed the shampoo out of our hair with

Terry & Kim Kovel | Antiques & Collecting

This isn’t your typical bread box

MANY OF US HAVE a bread box in the kitchen. It’s usually a simple, purely utilitarian affair made of metal or plastic; nothing as fancy as a carved panetiere like this one that sold for $1,408 at Neal Auction.

Panetieres were made and used in the Provencal region of France by the 1600s. Like the bread boxes of today, they kept loaves of bread safe from pests while allowing air to circulate to prevent mold. Unlike the humble bread box, they were made from wood with decorative carvings. This one features a carved and painted lyre door, turned posts, scrolling supports and a carved crest and apron.

Recall the cultural significance of bread in France, and the fancy panetiere is perfectly fitting. After widespread hunger and extreme inequality fueled the Revolution, a law made in 1793 required bakers, under the penalty of imprisonment, to make the same type of bread for the rich and poor alike. In 1993, a decree declared that only four ingredients could be used for traditional French bread: water, salt, wheat flour and yeast or starter. UNESCO granted the most famous type of French bread, the baguette, world heritage status in 2022. An antique panetiere is certainly fit for a cultural treasure.

Q. I have a can of a Woolite competitor. The product is Sweater Fluff, made by the Petrochemical Co. of Minneapolis. It opens like a paint can and is about 1/4 full of product. I would like to know when the company folded in the 1940s-50s or when the item was discontinued. Value, too, if any.

A. Woolite was introduced in 1951 as the first laundry detergent designed for delicate materials like wool, silk and the new synthetic fabrics. The only references to Sweater

Would you want to give something as elaborate as this a name as mundane as “bread box”? A French Provincial piece practically demands the French name panetiere. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

Fluff that we have been able to find are print advertisements from Minnesota newspapers in 1957. They call it a new product. It may have been a local brand that was not distributed nationally. The Minnesota Historical Society or a Minneapolis library or archives may have more information about the company and its products. Antique soap or laundry detergent containers can sell for about $50 to $150, depending on age and condition. Authenticity and an intact label with clear, colorful graphics are usually the most important factors. Antique advertising is a very popular area of collecting, and there are collectors who specialize in a certain brand or type of product. Check the Antique Advertising Association of America (www.pastimes. org) for more information

about collecting, identifying and evaluating antique and vintage product packaging.

Q. My brother has an old Lone Ranger lamp from when he was little. Can you tell us the value of it?

A. “The Lone Ranger” radio show made its debut in 1932. The first movie was made in 1938, and the television show ran from 1949 to 1957. Toys and memorabilia remained popular after the show ended and are collectible today. We have seen multiple styles of Lone Ranger lamps. There is one with a figure on horseback on the base and one shaped like a covered wagon. There is also a Lone Ranger “Chuck Wagon” lantern that was made as a toy but could work as a real lantern if fuel was added. (The packaging

for the lantern warned kids to leave that part to the grownups!) Early Lone Ranger toys often sell for over $100. The exact value of your lamp will depend on which one it is and its condition.

30-year US mortgage rate falls to 6.79%

By A LEX VEIGA Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate fell slightly this week, welcome news for home shoppers facing rising prices and a stubbornly low inventory of properties on the market this spring homebuying season.

The average rate on a 30-year mortgage slipped to 6.79% from 6.87% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.32%. The average rate is now at its lowest level in a couple of weeks.

Borrowing costs on 15year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners refinancing their home loans, also dipped this week, pulling the average rate to 6.11% from 6.21% last week. A year ago it averaged 5.56%, Freddie Mac said.

“Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, providing a bit more room in the budgets of some prospective homebuyers,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Regardless, rates remain elevated near 7% as markets watch for signs of cooling inflation, hoping that rates will come down further.”

After climbing to a 23-year high of 7.79% in October, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has remained below 7% since early December. It got up as high as 6.94% just a month ago, after stronger-than-expected reports on inflation, the job market and the economy clouded the outlook for when the Federal Reserve may begin lowering its short-term interest rate.

The MBA forecasts that mortgage rates will gradually ease to around 6% by the end of the year.

5 places to clean with a toothbrush

By K alina Newman The Washington Post

The humble toothbrush can help with a whole lot more than just your dental hygiene. When it comes to scrubbing clean some of the toughest-to-reach spots around the home, experts say it’s often an ideal cleaning tool. In most cases, even your old one will do.

1. Grout

Even in an otherwise sparkling-clean bathroom, grimy or moldy grout is tough to ignore. While a grout brush is the best weapon for tackling an entire shower or tub surround, a toothbrush paired with the right cleaning solution will do the trick for smaller jobs. If you don’t have a commercial grout and tile cleaner on hand,

Marla Mock, president of national housekeeping company Molly Maid, suggests making a DIY solution with equal parts baking soda and vinegar, with the optional addition of a degreasing dish soap such as Dawn “to help breakdown the buildup.” Mix the ingredients into a paste, then apply a layer onto the grout and let sit for at

Read on to find different ways you can put the household staple to new uses. (But before you go from tooth to title, consider cleaning the brush itself with bleach or dishwashing detergent to make sure you start off germ-free!) SEE CLEAN, PAGE F10

display.

Start by choosing ones with good-looking covers. “We try to keep the colors coordinated in groupings,” Brent said, hastening to add: “We also try to keep them within their category: art, history, décor, jewelry or whatever it may be.”

Well-worn paperbacks and other less attractive books can be stored elsewhere. In Brent’s home, cabinets with doors at the bottom of the bookshelves hold the overflow.

Stack them up

Don’t line up your books in endless rows. Instead, try building stacks.

“There are things we do that really help” to create a collected look, Brent said, “like mixing books horizontally and vertically.”

When you’re adding a horizontal stack to a shelf, “usually, piles of three or more feels nice,” he said. Also, “think about mixing different heights.”

On some shelves, Brent may stack lots of books to create a stepped pyramid that fills the space. On others, he may use only a few to create a pedestal for other objects.

Add objects that mean something

Your bookshelves shouldn’t resemble something out of a catalog: Forget about displaying anything impersonal, even if it looks nice. This is the place to show off things you have collected over many years.

“We’ve got artifacts that my husband and I have collected since we met,” Brent said.

“Everywhere we go, we pick up pottery or funny little sculptures. We’ve got tassels from curtains in old homes that we’ve kept and laid across books. We’ve got feathers that my daughter grabbed. It’s a mishmash of everything that we find beautiful, or an expression of somewhere we’ve been.”

The goal?

“The existential step I have

to play around with balance and scale.”

The goal is to spread the pieces across the shelves equally — mixing tall and short, light and weighty objects — so you don’t end up with some sections that looked stuffed while others feel emptier.

“If you’ve got a shelf that’s heavy with books,” Brent suggested, “lighten it up with some objects next to it.”

Even for design pros, he said, “there are no rules.” Balance can be achieved only through trial and error.

“It only really happens,” he continued, “when you get up there and play with it.”

Hang interesting pieces on top

For the ultimate layered look, use picture hangers to mount one or a few special pieces of art on the front of the bookcase.

for people,” Brent explained, “is to try to figure out a way they can incorporate their past and present, but still leave room for the future.”

Create balance

Once you’ve selected most of the books and objects you want to display, you’re still only halfway there.

Now, Brent said, “you’ve got

“I love to hang art on the face of the bookshelf,” Brent said, “so it almost feels like things are spilling out.”

And not just framed artwork: Sometime he’ll adorn a bookcase with other pieces, like ceramic beads or a mirror finished in shell.

“I love the organized chaos of a bookshelf that spills over with story,” Brent said.

ease. I confidently unpacked my things.

Most of us assume more water means a better shower.

But that’s not true. Today’s high-pressure shower heads are designed to deliver the same experience that once required three times as many gallons per minute. Consumer Reports suggests today’s low-flow models can do even better.

But these thrifty shower heads not only use less water. Because they deliver a satisfying jet, they might also encourage you to turn off the faucet sooner, saving even more water, a recent U.K. study suggests. Higher pressure alone appears to entice people to spend less time showering.

You and the environment win.

Here’s how to upgrade to a water-saving solution we may all be able to agree on.

What is a low-flow shower head?

Showers are a sacred time for many. Teenagers can escape their siblings. Parents find momentary refuge from their children. There’s solace in the steam after a hard day. But it’s also a huge drain.

Showers account for roughly 20 percent of total household

least five to 10 minutes before scrubbing.

Courtney Landry, product development manager at cleaning and home care company Norwex, suggests enlisting a hard-bristle toothbrush for this particular job.

“Sometimes you [need to] repeat the task two to three times to fully lift the dirt and stains,” she says. “When you’re finished, rinse the area with warm water.”

2. Around the laundry room

Carolyn Forté, executive director of the Good House-

water consumption. And water is just the start of it. Your shower also burns energy: Just under half of a home’s hot water is used for showering.

Americans’ showering habits add up to about 1.2 trillion gallons of water annually, estimates the Environmental Protection Agency, roughly as much water New York and New Jersey use in a year for everything.

Regulators tried to reduce water waste in the mid-1990s by mandating more efficient shower heads. While succeeding at reducing the average flow rate from 5.5 gallons per minute to 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), early models were awful. Users complained of weak water streams. One Seinfeld episode about “low flow” left Kramer and Newman unable to wash shampoo out of their hair.

The culprit? Manufacturers merely added gaskets restricting water flow, instead of redesigning shower heads to work at these new flow rates.

But since then almost all manufacturers have gotten better at saving water without sacrificing performance, redesigning nozzles to work best at low-flow rates, said David Malcolm, founder of High Sierra Showerheads, a manufacturer specializing in low-flow designs.

“We’re trying to create ideal spray and droplet size at the

keeping Institute’s home care and cleaning lab, suggests several ways to put a toothbrush to work in the laundry room. Washing machines and dryers, she points out, have all types of nooks and crannies that attract gunk.

Your washer’s dispenser drawer (where you pour in the detergent) should periodically be removed and cleaned, and a soapy toothbrush is a terrific tool for the job. Same goes for the frame around the lint screen in your dryer. “It’s designed crazily, with all these little spaces for the lint to get stuck in,” says Forté. Try removing it and using a toothbrush to dislodge the fuzz.

If you have a front-loading washing machine, you’ve

ideal pressure,” he says.

Low-flow shower heads save water across the country. The EPA’s WaterSense standard of 2.0 gpm (or less) is expected to cut about $5 billion off our national water and energy bill, states the agency.

But what if everyone started taking shorter showers as well?

The path to a shorter shower

Ian Walker, an environmental psychology professor at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England, was researching ways to conserve water. His team used temperature and pressure sensors to covertly track water use in 290 shower stalls and suites over 10 months.

Of the 86,000 individual showers they tracked, the median lasted six minutesalthough the range stretched from 30 seconds to more than an hour. But one consistent finding stood out: The higher the pressure, the shorter the shower. On average, total water consumption fell as shower pressure rose, mainly because people spent less time under the water, according to their findings in a preprint undergoing peer review.

Crucially, more powerful streams of water consumed much less water overall - with the most savings from shower heads that combined high pressure with a low water flow.

probably noticed the rubber gasket around the door can get grimy - that’s yet another spot to clean out with a toothbrush. And finally, Forté says, you can put your toothbrush to work pretreating stains. Use it to rub a little dish soap or stain remover into the spot on your garment before tossing the item into the wash.

3. Jewelry, picture frames and other delicate items

If you have jewelry, picture frames or other fragile objects in need of a good cleaning, Mock suggests using “any old toothbrush” to ensure the smallest nooks and crannies are taken care of. In this case, a brush with gentle, softer bristles is best. Mock recom-

“No one had any idea pressure would do this,” says Walker. “At any given flow rate, high pressure is better.”

Not everyone agrees with this conclusion. After reviewing Walker’s initial data, Erik Ansink, a water economics expert at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, suggested that the type of shower head, not the pressure, may be the determining factor in shorter showers. He called the study’s findings “too good to be true.”

Walker admits more research is needed to answer key questions: Why are high-pressure showers shorter? What other factors affect how long someone stays in the shower? Will these findings translate in the average home? But he argues, even after reanalyzing the data, the relationship between water pressure and shower duration remained: “Pressure affects consumption through causing people to shut off their showers sooner,” he said.

How to save water without sacrificing satisfaction

The bottom line is you can now save water without having to compromise. A good shower, it turns out, delivers just the right physical sensation of water droplets hitting your skin, regardless of how much water you use.

Malcolm says that in almost all cases today’s modern

mends “avoiding using any harsh chemicals or cleaners.” Instead, a mild dish soap with warm water will get the job done.

4. Computer keyboards and remote controls

The tiny spaces between keyboard keys and TV remote buttons are magnets for crumbs and dust, especially if you eat at your desk or in front of the television. Start by giving these items a good shake over the trash bin to dislodge anything that’s already loose. From there, you can use a dry toothbrush to sweep between the buttons. Or, for a deeper clean, Forté suggests wrapping the toothbrush in a disinfecting wipe and

shower heads are designed to work at a pressure mediated by the shower head, rather than what’s in your pipes. So even people with low pressure in the United States can enjoy a refreshing blast of water.

Upgrading your shower head can cost less than $20. For its 2024 shower-head guide, Consumer Reports tested more than a dozen products based on adjustability, spray quality - “robust pressure, satisfying water droplet size, and good coverage” - as well as their ability to maintain high temperatures and save water.

“Our testing found that water flow really doesn’t predict performance,” says Bernie Deitrick, a test engineer for Consumer Reports. “In fact, the two best shower heads we tested earned top marks for both shower feel and water consumption, and the top model used only about half the legal limit.”

Consumer Reports’ top choice, the HOPOPRO High Pressure Fixed Showerhead, sells for just $18 and uses just 1.3 gallons per minute, around half the standard shower head.

“The equipment changes your behavior in a good way,” says Walker. “You stop showering when you feel you have had enough.”

It may be one of the best $20 investments you can make in your home. It was for me.

then brushing it through the crevices.

5. Around the kitchen sink

A toothbrush can be a great solution for scrubbing hardto-reach grime around the kitchen sink, Forté says. Use it to get into the seams where the faucet or faucet handles meet the countertop, and around the drain. If your faucet has a detachable sprayer, don’t neglect that either, she advises: “You [usually] just take it out, spray the sink and put it back in. But if you look at it, it’s probably got a lot of residue and crusty stuff on there” - another job for your toothbrush.
