Honey-do season under way
T
he coming of spring – with summer apparently hard on its heels – means it’s time to tend to some honey-dos.
This year, there’s increased interest in gardens that not only look good, but taste good, delivering fresh vegetables to the dinner table. Meanwhile, the sudden onset of hot weather has lots of people thinking about providing some TLC for their air conditioner, lest they be left high and not-so-dry once summer proper arrives. This week’s special Home and Garden section looks at both those concerns, adds some advice on choosing the right color for that redecorating job, and gives you the names of lots of people and companies who can help make short work of the around-the-house jobs that piled up last winter. In the photo above, customers browse the fabulous fields of the Brentwood Iris Garden (925-5953838), where they can pick from hundreds of varieties of bulbs that might not make next spring’s honey-dos any easier, but will make things pretty.
