Next Edition Deadline 11th April

Hi everyone, The sun is shining, the birds are singing and at last, as I write, it seems that spring has finally sprung! Whoopee!

As this magazine arrives we are about to head into the Easter break and our thoughts turn to the long weekend, family get togethers and CHOCOLATE Easter Eggs! I’m sure that a very respectable period of time has now elapsed since Mother’s Day so I’m more than ready for my next chocolate fix so bring it on!

Easter tends to be the first opportunity we have to get out into the open and enjoy the spring sunshine, I do hope the weather continues to be good throughout the break, it’s just the tonic we need to dispel memories of all that winter rain. For those of you planning to tackle the garden, you should find some help within these pages, if you do please be sure to let the advertiser know where you found them. With the garden uner control you can sit back, with your Easter Eggs close to hand, and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

additional homes in Park Farm, Kingsnorth and Great Chart, as well as remaining homes and businesses in TN24. To maintain my existing rates whilst offering the extended coverage the magazine will now be delivered every other month.

I hope you will continue to keep your magazine for that extra month until the next edition arrives at the begining of June. Until then have a wonderful Easter ~ Enjoy!

Garden Shed

Bringing Up Babies

by Pippa Greenwood

and I suggest you choose an odd number, perhaps three, or five for a much larger garden, as this invariably makes a better display than if even numbers of plants are used. It may be tempting to plant too close and although this will provide a better looking display initially, over-crowded plants are less likely to become well established, will have to be moved in the near future and in the meantime will be more prone to numerous diseases.

4

A visit to any nursery or garden centre at this time of year will reveal a brilliant array of herbaceous perennials. Right now they might be small and not look particularly enticing but just take a look at the illustration on the label and you will see that these small plants have great potential. They’re also great value, usually somewhere around the £1.50-£2.50 mark.

It’s essential that newly planted perennials are given that little bit of extra tender loving care.

Small plants such as these are more likely to be prone to any weather extremes and even plants in larger pots should be well established. When you ease the plants out of their pots, if you see a really plentiful supply of roots that usually means you have purchased a good plant.

Check the plant labels to see the ultimate spread of the plant. For the best effect you generally want to grow several individuals of the same species

It’s also essential to plant at the correct depth. With herbaceous perennials you need to make sure that you place the plant in the ground to the same depth that it was in the container and although you may decide to mulch the soil afterwards, do remember not to mulch right up to or over the crown of the plant, as this is likely to lead to poor growth and maybe even dieback.

Weed control is essential and you can either hoe regularly between the plants to prevent the weeds causing competition or you can use a deep mulch or perhaps even place squares of landscape fabric or black polythene around each plant. Do remember however, if you use polythene, rain will not be able to penetrate through it and so the plants are more likely to suffer from drought. With landscape fabric this is not a problem. I’m a great fan of copper-impregnated and coated fabrics as these help to keep weeds and slugs and snails at bay. Once you have dug over the whole bed, then it’s well worthwhile adding a general fertilizer. If you notice that the soil is on the heavy

side, I suggest incorporating plenty of bulky organic matter and grit. Similarly, if the soil is excessively dry, then you could try to improve its texture by incorporating large quantities of any good bulky organic matter.

Once the plants are in position, firm the soil thoroughly and do take care not to compact it if it’s on the heavy side. Regular watering is essential and if the ground is not already quite moist, you should water the plants in well. Check them regularly for signs of any pests or diseases as it will be much easier to stop something in its tracks if you start to take action early on in the season.

Pippa loves growing gorgeous veg and wants to persuade you to as well; visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for the ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ veg growing system where she will send you garden ready plants and weekly advice and tips emails, making veg growing easy, productive and fun.

Cake and Bake Banana, Walnut & Chocolate Cake

14

Bananas ripen so quickly that it’s easy to find yourself with several left over needing to be used up. Many people don’t like the taste or smell of ripe bananas though so they often go to waste. However, when baked in a cake they lose their slightly sour smell and give a subtle taste, which is particularly delicious when combined with chocolate and walnuts.

Ingredients:

1.

• 100g butter at room temperature

Preheat the oven to 180C, 160C for fan oven or gas mark 4.

2.

Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with greaseproof paper

3.

Cream the sugar and butter together until fluffy

4.

Add the eggs and the vanilla essence and then the bananas and mix in well

5.

Carefully mix in the flour and bicarb, baking powder and cinnamon so there are no lumps, then fold through the dark chocolate and most of the walnuts.

6.

Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 45-55 minutes until a skewer through the centre comes out clean.

• ½ tsp cinnamon

7.

• 100g Walnuts (Chopped or whole)

Leave on a rack until cool before serving to allow time for the chocolate to set.

8.

Sprinkle with icing sugar and a few more chopped walnuts.

• 100g light brown sugar • 25 grams caster sugar (white or golden) • 2 large eggs • 1 tsp vanilla essence • 3-4 ripe bananas (depending on size), mashed • 175g plain flour • 1½ tsp baking powder • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 75g Dark chocolate chopped or coarsely grated

National Award for Mid Kent Waste Par tnership A partnership of four Kent local authorities has received a prestigious award after delivering impressive financial savings alongside significant service improvements.

18

Ashford, Maidstone and Swale Borough Councils and Kent County Council joined forces with Biffa Municipal Ltd in 2013 to deliver waste and recycling services, boosting recycling rates to 50% whilst saving £1.7 million per year.

The Gold Award for Transformation in Waste and Environment was awarded to the Partnership by the Improvement and Efficiency Social Enterprise (iESE), and recognises the work carried out to ensure the new services work seamlessly across Mid Kent and provide value for money to local taxpayers.

Cllr Jessamy Blanford, Portfolio Holder for the Environment at Ashford Borough Council, said: “The partnership approach to this project has been key to our success and it is pleasing this has been recognised by winning this prestigious award.

“By working together with neighbouring districts, the county council and Biffa we have achieved a remarkable performance improvement across the three boroughs for all our residents. This is particularly pleasing for Ashford, as our residents have really embraced the new service and we are all now reaping the rewards.”

Maidstone council’s Cabinet Member for the Environment, Councillor Marion Ring, said: “We’re very proud to be part of this partnership, which has allowed us to offer fantastic new doorstep recycling services to our residents, including glass, textiles and small electricals, while saving Maidstone taxpayers over £1 million per year.”

Abdool Kara, Chief Executive of Swale Borough Council, said: “The long-term £86million contract delivers significant savings, both in terms of waste collection and disposal, something which is truly innovative.”

Councillor David Simmons, Cabinet Member for Environmental and Rural Affairs at Kent County Council, added: “Recycling and becoming more waste efficient is something that we are all responsible for. By taking these measures we have been able to become a more greener borough and also save money, money that can now be used for other projects and services within the Borough.”

The partnership is focussed on delivering further innovation and continuous improvement over the next 10 years.

Beauty Fight Premature Ageing Ageing is unfortunately an inevitable process for us all, but if you take steps to protect your skin now, you’ll benefit in the future.

Environmental factors play an enormous role in how well - or not - you age, so it’s really important to look at how your current lifestyle might affect your skin in the future. Those bad health and beauty habits you have now could be exposing you to long-term skin damage and accelerating the ageing process.

But don’t worry, if you take notice of our tips, you’ll stay looking youthful for longer.

By Helen Taylor

KEEP YOUR SKIN SAFE IN THE SUN The sun is one of the biggest factors in premature ageing, so you need to ensure that you properly protect against it.

You’ll be well aware of the need for sunscreen when you’re lying on the beach, but you might not realise that you need to use it every day. That’s because skindamaging UV rays are present even when the sun isn’t shining.

If you can’t live without an allyear-round tan, then you’ll need to find an alternative to regular visits to the sunbed. Sunbeds are equally - if not more - damaging

than the sun and they’ll leave your skin looking coarse, leathery and wrinkled.

And sun-lovers really must be aware of the damage to their skin, because it doesn’t end there.

Squinting in the sun can, over time, cause crow’s-feet, so always wear sunglasses andImage: ensure that Courtesy of Next they offer proper protection for your eyes or you may become more prone to cataracts in later life.

Apply sunscreen liberally to every part of your body that’s exposed to the sun. Don’t rely on SPFenhanced make-up alone for your face, it’s likely that you don’t apply enough of the product to fully protect your skin.

beauty & fashion And remember the dangers of UV rays go far beyond wrinkled skin, over exposure puts you at risk of developing skin cancer.

TIME TO QUIT Another lifestyle factor that you need to address for the sake of your skin - and your health - is smoking. It’s hard to quit, but if you want to curb or prevent the signs of premature aging then it’s a must.

The free radicals in cigarette smoke break down collagen, slow the skin’s ability to heal and make it look sallow, dull and lifeless, because smoking inhibits the blood supply that keeps skin looking healthy. Wrinkles prematurely begin to form and you start to age quickly compared to your non-smoking friends.

Even if you don’t smoke you are still at risk of these effects if you spend time in smoky atmospheres, so it’s best to steer clear of secondhand smoke altogether.

DON’T PULL YOUR FACE

Your mum probably told you that if you pull your face that way it’ll stick that way… well she was right. Repetitive movements like frowning and raising your eyebrows can encourage lines to form earlier than they should.

help you in your quest to stay looking youthful. Eye creams, moisturisers and exfoliators are essential.

And don’t forget the value of living a healthy lifestyle. Eating a diet that’s rich in vitamins A, C and E (found in brightly coloured fruit and vegetables) and omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, nuts and seeds) will boost skin from the inside out.

It’s good to express yourself, but if you find yourself frequently pulling the same expression make a change now, or expect wrinkles in the future.
