The best.alternative for the tree and the en- vironment is to decorate without using lights. Taking The Tree Outdoors. 1. It is essential to move the tree outdoors gradually. For example, move the tree to a basement, then an unheated garage, then the outdoors. If the tree must be taken directly outside, it must be protected if it is to survive. The more transition from indoors to out, the better the tree's chances of survival. 2. If the ground is frozen, the tree does not have to be planted outside until spring. If you choose, it may be kept all year in a pot. Keeping the tree in a patio tub means that it will have to be watered carefully year round as tub plants dry out more quickly than those in the garden. needle: gradual the - give. it. to a gardening 1 friend ToP donate” it. can. eet eer a oe “After “th frost i is out of he. ground and the tree has been’ .

Also, no heavy fer- tilizers should be. applied during this time other -than perhaps manure around the top of the roots. No fertilizer should be placed near the _ roots in the earth. Next Christmas i. You can use the tree for another year. Carefully dig out the roots with soil at- tached, lift the tree and wrap in sacking. 2.

An ideal tub for your tree is a recycled wine barrel from a distillery, which is cut in half. ers Restaurant European & North American Culsine Roast Turkey Dinner with cranberry sauce, stuffing, vegetable, potatoes, soup or salad and pumpkin ple for dessert. childrens portions available Christmas Eve only.
