Rose plants are now on sale in many garden stores and nurseries. Planting time for roses is usual ly April.

Young pea plants transplant poorly so the seeds should be planted directly in their perma nent row. They require a soil that is reasonably fertile and .not too acid (pH between 5.5 and 6.7).

Life insurance is meant to protect dependent survivors if you die. If you have no depen dents no spouse, children, or other person you take care of you may be better off buying health or disability insurance that would take care of your own expenses if you get sick. If you're married without children and your spouse works, decide whether his or her salary alone plus savings would cover expenses. If it wouldn't, you may want to buy just enough insurance to pay off a mortgage, for example. If your spouse doesn't work, youll need enough insurance to pay expenses. If you have children or other dependents, you'll need to plan for their expenses until they're on their own. Take into conside ration Social Security survivor benefits, which would make some monthly income available to them, and your spouse's earnings if he or she works. After you decide you do need protection, how much should you buy? According to the National Insurance Consumer Organization (NICO), as a rule of thumb for most families with two young children you should have five times your annual salary in life insurance. Before you run out and buy, find out if you're covered for part of that under an employer's group policy. M ost companies provide one to two times your salary in coverage. Purchase enough private insurance to make up the diffe rence. Also, adjust this rule of thumb according to your own situation. You'll need less than five times your salary in insurance if: You have only one child or your children are almost on their own.
