There is no magical, specific date to prune roses. According to all accounts and professional rosarians, the proper time is “late winter.” This has many meanings. The bottom line is that one needs to prune late enough that there’s little risk of frost damage to the tender growth that will emerge from pruning. In this area, the last average frost date is late March, so that means it is probably safe pruning in mid- to late-February. After this pruning, one can usually expec... Full story

It is good that Fallbrook citizens have been made aware of this horrible crime of slavery. It’s everywhere, including Fallbrook. Yes, our town has this going on, not just at motels either. Take a walk down the Pico Promenade, but not at night. I’m glad there is a task force. Our Sheriff’s deputies are far too overloaded. See the Sheriff’s Blotter. However, I don’t understand how being “together in an office” is of any comfort to us in Fallbrook. This is very complicated. Safety is first. Perhaps this task force can walk our...

FALLBROOK – With spring just around the corner, and warmer weather on its way, many homeowners’ thoughts drift toward relaxing days spent soaking up some sun by the pool. Early spring is a great time to install a pool so the family has a go-to hangout by the time summer arrives. Installing a pool is a large financial investment, and homeowners considering adding a pool should not take that decision lightly. When attempting to determine if a pool is for them, homeowners may...

Whether parents are buying a car seat for the first time or upgrading an existing seat as their child grows, being informed can...
The new refuse containers issued for yard waste are hard to manage. While I can understand the need to simplify trash pick up, My husband and I, plus many neighbors (who, for the record, are over 60) live on parcels of land that are two-plus acres each.

The biggest problem is that most of us have long, steep driveways and while it was easier to haul trash bags in the back of a car, we are trying to figure out how in the world to handle these large containers that...
