So you planted trees this spring. Those trees' first years in the
ground — and especially this very first year — are important to their
future strength and beauty. Pruning is one way to direct development of what will become their
permanent limbs, and the best time for this pruning is while the trees
are still small.
Today's Birthday: In the year ahead, tremendous strides can be made in developing new ways and means to improve your earning power. You may be worthy of a raise, develop a second source of income, or go into business for yourself.
