Looks like 2011 could be a busy year for hurricanes. Experts predict from 14 to 17 named storms this year.
At the old store location, we stayed open even without electricity so you could get what you need. We’ll be here for you again in 2011.
Here are some things you can do to be ready:
- Does your generator start? Go out this weekend and check to be sure your backup is ready to go. Fresh fuel? Turns over smartly? If not, call us for a service appointment.
- Do you have a supply of bottled water, canned goods as well as a backup to your electric stove? We carry both camp stove and propane grill fuel cylinders.
- Do you have oil lamps, flashlight batteries and a battery-powered radio?
- Is your chainsaw sharp and ready to go?
- Do you have pet supplies to last through a black out?

Do you have the products you need to protect your family and garden?
The best way to protect you and your pets from mosquito bites and tick borne disease is regular use of insect repellent when out of doors. We carry a range of products from 90% DEET or DEET-free sprays and Citronella candles. Apply early and often.
It’s not too late to set out Japanese Beetle traps and reduce the damage done to your shrubs and trees. Put these lure traps away from the area you want to protect. The beetles will be drawn to a less vulnerable area of your landscape.
You’ll also want to keep an eye out for predators in your vegetable garden. Remember that many beneficial insects are preying on the ones that eat your vegetables. Choose insecticides that target the “bad bugs” and leave the “good bugs” to help you another day. We carry Safer Insecticidal Soaps, Ortho and Bonide sprays, and old standbys like Sevin dust.
The Virginia Cooperative Extension has a wealth of information about home gardening insect control (conventional and organic) on-line at http://pubs.ext.vt.edu

Don’t know if we’ll have a little or a lot on the tables, but it’s time to clear out the back warehouse and give ya’ll some deals!
Look for overstock, discontinued, and “why the heck did we stock this?” merchandise. Sale starts Saturday morning. Come rummage!

Herb is an expert on paint tinting technology, and he loves a challenge!
Bring in a color on almost anything, and he can match it.
He’s also a very nice guy!
