Home And Garden Show
On the Home and Garden Show with Vance Co. Cooperative Ext.
- Start planting your fall garden. Ex Collards, yellow squash, turnips, broccoli, squash
- Freezing is a great way to preserve many summer fruits and vegetables that requires no special equipment. For many vegetables, it’s simply a matter of blanching them in boiling water and then storing in plastic freezer bags. Others such as peppers and fruits can simply be cut up and frozen.
- Keep weeds and grass under control. Use straw mulch to shade out the weeds
- Harvest vegetables at their peak of flavor. A common newbie mistake is to leave cucs, beans, squash, okra and other fruit on the plant for too long.
- With recent rains your garden soil maybe too wet to work check moisture by taking some soil and rolling it into a ball then drop it if it completely breaks up the soil is dry enough to till.
- Any time you use a pesticide, check the instructions for rainfastness.
- Avoid the rush and start taking your soil samples now!
- Keep grass clippings out of the compost pile.

The Local Skinny! Turning Point CDC Sponsors Community Day
The 12th annual Community Day, sponsored by Oasis of Hope Ministries and Turning Point CDC, is shaping up to provide fun, food and free stuff for families across the four-county area.
The free, outdoor event will take place Saturday, Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at their location on Old Norlina Road, just across from Skipper’s Forsyth’s, said Kate Delahanty, director of community engagement for Turning Point CDC.
Thanks to a recent school supply drive, there will be more than 120 backpacks loaded and ready for distribution on a first come, first served basis, Delahanty said on Monday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
In addition to children’s activities, there will be numerous vendors and agencies present to share educational resources and provide information to families.
“Each year, it’s just gotten bigger and bigger,” Delahanty said of the Community Day. COVID-19 cancelled the 2020 event, and Delahanty said the group was excited to return in 2021 to bring communities together and have a day of celebration. The Community Day is “a way to engage the communities we serve,” she said.
Attendees who come hungry have their choice of several different food trucks, including Chewly Delicious Jamaican, Soul bachi – a fusion of Soul Food and Hibachi-style Japanese food and Dessert Lewis Express ice cream.
Comedian Annie Perry will perform standup at 10:30 a.m. and then Michelle Ragland Wright will get folks moving with a Zumba class at 12:30 p.m. DJ Reese will provide music throughout the day, Delahanty said, as children and adults alike enjoy lawn games and a fun new scavenger hunt. Guests will visit various vendors to get answers to questions on the scavenger hunt card and then turn in the cards for prizes.
“We’re always thinking of new ideas for the next event,” Delahanty said. She offered special thanks to the 2022 sponsors, PNC and WellCare.
