Time for those lovely daffodils!

As March moves into April, expect the lovely and hardy daffodil to appear, bright yellow or white, peeking its trumpet head through the snow or cold to ring in the spring.

Those dependable spring blooms all have a history. Someone planted them to perk up a corner in the garden or trim a fence. And they grow, whether that home or garden or that person is there or not. In fact, they can grow undisturbed for decades, even centuries in the same plot.

Their secret hardiness comes from a thick skin that shelters the inside the of bulb, where the leaf and flower are developing in late winter. The bulb itself keeps growing year after year, continuously absorbing nutrients all year round.

It is a flower known for thousands of years. First mention of them comes from a Greek botanist around 300 BC. They were brought to Britain by the Romans and grew freely in northern Europe.

Plant daffodil bulbs in the fall (especially October), three times deeper than the size of the ball. Separate bulbs in the spring, but let their yellowing stems remain to support the bulb.

Your Monthly Maintenance Minute

It is important to regularly inspect your washing machine water supply hoses for leaks. One of the top reasons for insurance claims is for water damage caused by leaky washing machine supply lines. Inspect washing machine water supply lines at least annually and replace them every three years if they are plastic. If you notice that the metal ends of your water supply lines are discolored or rusty, replace them immediately.

Faulty washing machine drain hoses are as important as water supply lines when it comes to keeping water off of your floor and in your drain where it belongs. As with supply lines, regularly inspect the ends of your washing machine drain lines for discoloration or rust, and replace them immediately if you find evidence of leaking.

Additionally, check the snugness of the drain lines by using a crescent wrench or a pair of pliers. You should not be able to tighten the line any further if the line is properly tightened. Plastic lines should be replaced every three years.

When it comes to your dryer, it is important to make sure that you regularly clean your lint screen in order to prevent fires. Not only will a clean lint screen prevent fires, but it will also increase the life of the heating element. Physically remove the lint from the screen between each load of laundry. Also, be sure to remove fabric softener residue by washing the screen with warm water and dish detergent once per week.
