Try tickling one project at a time. Not everything has to be done before summer arrives. If there are a lot of little projects and a few big ones, do the little ones first. You'll feet a sense of accomplishment after each one is completed, and as your list of chores gets smaller, you may actually look forward to the next on the list. Before attempting any improvement project (big or small) it’s important. to know what you're doing..Don’t just guess or say, “I'll -figure it out as I-go along.” Although it’s an ambitious atti- tude, it’s one that can result in disaster. People end up spending exorbitant -amounts of time and money because they don’t have the skills or the know-how to properly do the job they set out to do, The savvy do-it-yourselfer is the one who knows when to hire ‘a. professional ~to do the job.

Word of mouth is one. of the best ways lo find this out. Ask afew neighbors who recently had work done on their homes. Not only will: they advise you on.who to hire, but they'll probably tell you who to avoid, too. ‘ Safety-is probably the most impor- tant consideration of home improve- ment projects. Make sure directions are read, ladders are secure, hands are steady and proper attire is worn. Masks, goggles and gloves should be at the top of your checklist, espe- cially when dealing with chemicals like slains ‘and varnishes.

Readers will discover recipes as diverse as making pesto from garden herbs, poppy-seed pasta with flower seeds, and ratatouille from eggplant, onions, and zucchini. The gardening ethic Beyond the extensive and expert advice,of-her.book, Martha Stewart also conveys a distinct philosophy about gardening. To her, the garden is a '- place where individuality finds natural expression; a place for contemplation, ‘learning, patience, and discovery, where friendships evolve over the shar- ing of cuttings and seedlings, and where children can explore a new world. Gardening can also be seen as a vigorous activity that promotes physi- cal health and emotional well-being. If, as Stewart says, “gardening will be to the '90s what entertaining was to the '80s,” her book is ready to guide gardeners new and old in the pleasures of cultivating their own gardens.
