MIDDLETOWN, NJ - The other day, as I ate my lunch, I happened to be watching one of the shopping channels, when they began their Spring Gardening Sale. “Wow,” I thought, “Isn’t it a bit early for this?”
You know, March is a guessing game in the garden. Will it warm up soon? Will it stay warm? Will the rains start or stop any time soon? About the only thing we can count on is that March too shall pass. But we still must be ready because if Mother Nature does smile upon us, we will put our “sloggers” on and venture into the garden to begin the various chores that should be done in March. By the way, I purchased a pair of “sloggers” that day. They are waterproof shoes that can be hosed off after a day’s work in the garden—perfect!

TRENTON, NJ - Test results have come back negative for the person in New Jersey who was under investigation for novel coronavirus.
There are no other persons in New Jersey who are currently approved and awaiting testing for the virus that causes COVID-19.
“Most New Jersey residents are at low risk for novel coronavirus,” said Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli. “If individuals are having symptoms, the illness is much more likely to be caused by common respiratory viruses such as flu or the common cold.”
The New Jersey Department of Health works with hospitals and local health departments throughout respiratory virus and flu season on hundreds of disease outbreaks each year and this supports the state’s preparedness for potential novel coronavirus cases. New Jersey hospitals are prepared to handle coronavirus cases.
